A calendar (see picture below) which was printed in Egypt and shows a crashing passenger plane with Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop -- and which was printed in May, a full three months before the September 11 Terrorist Attacks on America -- has caused an uproar in the Dutch town of Almere, Netherlands de Telegraaf newspaper reported yesterday.
The calendar was distributed at an Islamic school long before the World Trade Center attacks. Mayor Hans Ouwerkerk, who was alerted to the calendar's existence in the local islamic school in the town of Almere, immediately notified the Dutch internal security service (BVD) about the strange coincidence. The BVD is reportedly investigating the matter.
"I am supported by Allah, to die for Allah" was quoted on the calendar, the same words reportedly used by an Egypt-Air pilot who allegedly crashed a jet in November of 1999.
The Almere town council has "urgently advised" the management of the Islamic School Foundation to "cooperate with the Dutch authorities and help determine the calender's origin."
Deputy mayor Henk Smeeman said the distribution of such controversial islamic-extremist fundamentalist propaganda material "cannot be tolerated in Almere. The town council is a strong supporter of maintaining good intercultural relationships with one another," he said. On the calendar's other illustrations, a stone-throwing Palestinian demonstrator is shown in front of the Al-Aksa mosque in Jerusalem,; others feature an Egyptian military assault during the six-day war against Israel, and another picture shows a futuristic image of a Palestinian "freeing" of Jerusalem.
The head of the Islamic school -- Mrs Dekker -- alleged had a large number of calenders in her possession from end May to the start of June, well-informed sources informed De Telegraaf. When confronted with the calender images, she responded in a shocked, startled manner and said "how did you get this" and then shrouded herself in silence when further questioned by journalists.
De Telegraaf also reported today that Dutch authorities abruptly closed the major traffic arteries into Rotterdam and Amsterdam through four river tunnels -- in immediate response to a highly detailed letter to the Dutch news agency ANP which described the exact times, (8:10am); the colour and type of vehicles which would have been used in a closely-timed wave of suicide attacks at the hight of rush hour at two of the world's busiest harbour cities.
Dutch police arrested a large number of individuals who had been identified by the anonymous tipster, who also warned that a great many other terrorist attacks would be carried out worldwide.If these riverine tunnels had collapsed, this would have meant the immediate closure of these busy international harbours and seriously disrupted international trade.

About 10 p.m. the Fri. eve. before teh attacks I walked past some Muslims/Palesinians
("Free Palestine"bumper stickers on car) in Alexandria, VA.,
on King Street between the Metro & Downtown Alexandria, near the Pentagon & Dulles Airport,
& I had the most eerie and extraordinary feeling that they knew SOMETHING BIG and scary was up!
Theyy seemed uncomfortable adn edgy and I couldn't pinpoint what waas up...until later, much later.
Just a hypothesis...
More Clinton LEGACY
I doubt many people knew. There was a lot of risk if too many people knew.
iT WAS JUST A HYPOTHEISIS, BASED UPON A DISTINCT, BUT EERIE, FEELING THAT something was afoot.
Not a coincidence.
Any thoughts on this?
There is another thread running here.
The renditions of this national symbol of Egyptian pride are very often over exagerated in the projected strength and success (because most of the people that were there died) of the operation. They will include things they wish they had done as well as things they may be able to do now.
Of course I have never seen this particular rendition, but I spent 5 months training Egyptian soldiers 5 years ago and there are pictures of this "great event" everywhere in military buildings.
Let me research some more and see what I can dig up.
The flag held in one hand and the Soldiers crossing the berm are definitely renditions of the Egytian invasion and battle with Israel. Both of these are common to all renditions of the event and are included in most, thats why I assumed that the entire portrait was about that.
The tracked vehicles located to the bottom right are M-2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, US army equipment and have to signify the Egyptian partnership with the US led coalition during the Gulf War.
The helicopters and ballons are still a mystery to me though. I am researching Egyptian aviation now to see if these are significant to the Egyptian military history.
Thanks for that. At least I know the information is in the right hands. You have the knowledge and background to evaluate this information better than most.
Don't worry about the spelling, I've seen balloon spelled incorrectly at balloon rallies.
I have also contacted the BFA- Balloon Federation of America.
