The following information below is what I received separate and apart from the article above.

These things are happening, it is real, it is not an internet hoax. People are reporting that taxi drivers are offering warnings to those who have tipped them well or were more friendly than others they have dealt with.

I am the author of what is below

====================================== Here is an update as of 1800 eastern

What I have learned in the last hour is that a 3rd person, who did NOT know of the previous calls, informed my friend of an identical event taking place with an old woman he knew personally

The source of the 3rd account is impeccable

This information was relayed to departments within Homeland Security and we were informed that there have been MANY reports coming in from around the world all saying that people who were just in NYC had received warnings from their cab drivers, with most of the cab drivers assumed to be Somali who gave this information out.

I was in NYC Saturday myself and took one cab ride but no one said these things to me.

In each of the reported cases, each of the witnesses said they left a generous tip to the driver who then said: You seem like a nice person, DONT be in New York after Wednesday

One of the persons I mention was told by the taxi driver to immediately change plans no matter how inconvenient, but to stay out of NYC from Wednesday on.

It is only speculation as to whether this is a legitimate threat or an attempt to create a hoax causing panic

======================================= my original, long winded comments are below:: ============================

I have a friend who does terrorism awareness seminars, I work for him on occasion doing research on the net for news articles to help keep a database

I got a call from him today.

Cab drivers in New York City have told two persons he spoke to, that "you look like nice people. You should not be in New York on Wednesday"

am not posting this in the open forum because I just dont have any more proof than what I am going to write here

I have a friend who does Terrorism Awareness for a living. I have been working with him for some time and am still, doing internet research on occasion

he received 2 phone calls from 2 separate sources today

In the last 2 days, these two parties were taking taxis and struck up friendly conversations with their drivers.

Each one was told by the taxi drivers to NOT BE IN NYC THIS WEDNESDAY

“You seem like nice people, You DONT want to be here on Wednesday” was the general statement

We all know that a elementary school boy was acting up in class in Brooklyn and exclaimed how he knew the Twin Towers were not going to be standing the following week. And 9/11 happened.

This may be a hoax done to the people who called my friend, but one of them is the child of someone prominant in the conservative movement and also in awareness of the Islamic Threat we face. Their concern was genuine.

I was told that the New York City Police department was called and they told the caller they were already aware of this threat.

For my New York Friends: report all lost baggage report all suspicious activity report all bags left unattended Avoid large crowds or gatherings get in-get out, do all business quickly in stores and malls

bring two cases of water home tonight and keep it out of the sunlight

Well hopefully this is just a hoax. But they probably said that before 9/11 also. Doesn’t hurt to be cautious.

“A Jewish woman gave a tip to a Muslim taxi driver and out of appreciation he warned her not to go to Manhattan next week Wednesday.”

This is just a ploy by Muslim cab drivers to get Jews to over tip. They will stop at nothing to degrade their nemesis.

How do these Muzzi cab drivers know their fare is Jewish, especially the women?

How do you tell that the cab driver is Muslim?

If they want to the police can trace the text back to the original person.

Sooner or later, the shit will hit the fan. Let nobody deceive himself that it will not eventually happen. Too long have we played the fool and allowed the enemy to live among us. The results of this stupidity are overdue.

Islamic psyops. They know how to do this. They play with “chatter” on the web masterfully.

This is ridiculous. These rumors get people upset and do nothing except make everybody who has spread them look like a fool.

With the existence of flash mob networks (fanning out a call to action) and the practice of false alarms (death threats, white powder mailings)... the terrorists don’t need to actually follow through on the threats they disseminate but I take not firm belief in this being a “hoax” anymore than ANY called in threat is a “hoax”.

You have to treat it as it is relayed to you (or the authorities) and proceed with caution.

And I’ve never seen the “fun” in flash mob mentalities. It seems to me to be an easy way to test the wires of communication for mass gathering (or mass chaos).

Those relaying such messages may be “played” by someone else pulling their strings.

There has already been an international death threat made by Islamists against all Jewish children.
