When it's too late. DISCLAIMER: I could be wrong.

About 50-50, I'd say-- the alternative media is spreading information so far and so fast it's dizzying, while the MSM ( and the useful dupes in the entertainment division ) tries to distract everyone and put them to sleep.

As that Chinese Curse goes, "May you live in Interesting Times..."

"Explosions kill 4; injure nearly 30 in western Mexico"

By LUIS CARLOS SAINZ
Associated Press

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TONALA, Mexico -- Two assailants lobbed grenades into a crowded cockfighting ring before dawn Monday in this western Mexican city, killing four people and wounding 25 others, four critically, state investigators said.

Two people were killed at the scene of the attack and two more died while receiving medical treatment, said Gerardo Octavio Solis, attorney general for Jalisco state. The ring was located at a racetrack in Tonala, located outside Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city.

The explosions tossed chairs and sent onlookers fleeing from the scene, which was strewn with blood. Police and military officials guarded the site midday Monday.


Solis said 25 of the more than 100 people who attended the cockfight were injured. Federal and state authorities were investigating and hunting for two attackers."

a caller to a radio talk show said "We know they like the
numbers 6 and 10, and numbers divisable by 12.

1426 does not work......using pen and paper, I got 118.88888,
feared for a minute that I had forgotten how to do long
division.....LOL It has been a long time.

Guess i don't see his formula, yours made more sense.

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520

This information is current as of today, Tue Aug 02 2005 04:15:50 GMT-0700.

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA

August 1, 2005

This Travel Warning has been revised to update security information and remind American citizens of the potential danger of travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina. This Travel Warning supersedes that of December 27, 2004.

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens that there are still risks from occasional localized political violence, landmines, and unexploded ordnance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Criminal activity has also been on the rise, particularly in urban areas with a marked increase in reports of residential break-ins, vehicle and petty theft. There exists a substantial organized crime presence throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina; however, violent confrontations between rival criminal elements usually occur in larger cities, and pose little direct threat to Americans. Travelers are warned to exercise additional vigilance in urban areas to avoid being victimized during confrontational crime.

The international community, including American interests, continues to be the target of occasional threats. In addition, increased efforts to capture persons indicted for war crimes resulted in isolated local disruptions and protests in 2004.

U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert, and may close temporarily or suspend public services to review their security posture. The Embassy in Sarajevo has closed in the past to review its security posture and may have to do so again. In those instances, the Embassy will make every effort to continue providing emergency services to American citizens. Official U.S. Government employees and affiliated personnel under the Embassy’s authority are subject to periodic travel restrictions when the security situation warrants it. These restrictions are subject to change on short notice, and Americans who visit Bosnia-Herzegovina should contact the Embassy in Sarajevo for updated security information.

Although clearance of mine and unexploded ordnance continues, there are still areas that are deemed unsafe by international de-mining organizations. Estimates vary, but a conservative figure suggests that more than 600,000 mines and other unexploded ordnance remain uncleared. While urban areas have been declared “mine-safe,” the location of some minefields is unknown and the de-mining community recommends remaining on hard-packed surfaces. Abandoned and destroyed buildings and orchards should not be approached, as uncleared mines still surround them. Families traveling with children should be especially aware of this danger and make sure the children do not stray from safe areas.

It is always recommended to avoid crowds and demonstrations, keep a low profile in dress and actions, and stay alert for changes in the security situation. The U.S. Embassy may not be able to provide consular services to U.S. citizen in areas where local authorities will not cooperate with or protect U.S. Government officials.

Americans visiting or residing in Bosnia and Herzegovina despite this Travel Warning are urged to register with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the State Department’s travel registration website, https://travelregisration.state.gov, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. The U.S. Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina is located at Alipasina 43, telephone (387)(33) 445-700: fax (387)(33)221-837; Internet address http://www.usembassy.ba. On weekends, holidays, and after hours, an embassy duty officer can be reached at telephone (387)(33) 445-700. If after dialing you receive a recorded message, press”0”, and then ask for the duty officer.

U.S. travelers can also get up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 in the U.S. or Canada, or on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State’s Consular Information Sheet for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Worldwide Caution Public Announcement at http://travel.state.gov.

1426 X 12 = 17112

First day of the seventh month

Anybody's guess what the 112 would lead him to, If he's using such a formula to guide him. It could give him a time (1:12 EDT for optimum visibility).

My concern is actually for Friday. It will be August 6th in Japan, the anniversary of Hiroshima. It will also be the anniversary of the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, which also took place on a Friday. Also, using the theory from the WND article, if you don't include 9/11/01 in your math then 1426 days would bring you to Friday 5th. Hmmm...

I'm fine thanks granny. I have friends in London though and worry for them. I'm sure not planning any trips there any time soon!

"An amateur sleuth, Michael Matuszak, points out, for instance, that Saturday would also mark the 1,426 days since Sept. 11, 2001. He points out that, in the Islamic calendar, this is the year 1426 – and that Aug. 6 would be the first day of the seventh month, the exact midway point of the year 1426.

"It is as if Bin Laden started by scheduling 'American Hiroshima' for 8-6-2005 and then worked backwards to arrive at 9-11-2001 as the precursor," he speculates. Matuszak arrives at the calculation, however, by including Sept. 11, 2001, in his addition."

By the way, would anyone like to confirm the math on that by using excel? I don't have it on my P.C.

That makes good sense. It would be optimal to know what moment he (may camel spiders infest his shorts) has chosen as his starting point. Likely dates are: The fall of the Ottoman Empire, Aug. 6, 1945, some significant date on the order of our millenium celebration, and a significant anniversay in islamic history, to name just a few.

Rereading, I see that bin Ladin (may his sister fall in love with a goat) is using August 6, 2005 as his initial reference and scheduling everything from there.

Is he so sympathetic with Imperial Japan, or does he see Hiroshima as the symbol of American (Western) threat to islam? I would think a date in keeping with the history of islam would be more meaningful at a personal level.

I know August 5th was the anniversey of something and that was why he chose that date for the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. I can't remember off the top of my head what that "something" was. But the main thing is on August 5th it will be a week day AND it will already be August 6th in Japan, where the Hiroshima attack actually occurred.

One of the reasons a Friday was allegedly chosen in the 1998 bombings was that in Kenya & Tanzania, both with a high percentage of muslims, they were supposed to be at Friday prayers. That said, I think they still killed more muslims than Americans!

In the analysis I've read, it seems Osama feels angered that America has never paid for using the bomb. I think he'll hijack any cause for the sake of a pop at the U.S! Just look at Palestine.

Bomb dropped at 8:15 A.M. Aug 6, making it 7:15 P.M. Aug. 5, EDT.

Assuming time has any importance in this.

One thing I'm certain of is that with all the signs that were out there prior to 9/11 e.g: stock shorting, intercepted messages etc, see http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/timeline.jsp?timeperiod=2001%20-%200:05am%2011%20Sept%202001&timeline=complete_911_timeline&startpos=0

and...
http://www.americanhiroshima.info/911warnings.htm

...I'm sure there will be signs before the next major attack. And there are lots of people looking for them this time.

Hmmm, so that would mean it wouldn't be during the work day. It's really hard to guess but I would say they would want to do "it" during the day as there are less people in the city after 6p.m.
