Bus Crash: "The man...had a Middle Eastern accent"

What about the postal workers in Nashville who got sick or something this morning? They never could find out what that was, could they.

There was an incident at the airport, in the mail room, that fits that description. Then there was the incident at PRIMUS later on today. Both groups affected became ill, and some went to the hospital. (All treated and released, I believe.) Neither incident has been explained.

I don't think there is any way to know, since we are not being told, even if the PTB have the information. I have no idea what happened. I just wondered "aloud" about how I was feeling, and said I had no way of knowing if it was connected or not, and I got smacked around. I still don't know why I felt so lousy earlier, but I feel better now. I didn't draw any conclusions -- just wondered. Heaven forbid one should interject a sentence or two concerning one's humanity. 'Scuse me! /sarcasm (not directed toward you, pnz1!) *G*

Sounds like a lunatic whether he was ME or not.

Lady, I'm confused. You think he (she?) sounds like a lunatic but you don't know whether he was YOU or not? Sybill, is that you?

The President said this is a war.

My question to the president in Congress:

Why have you not put a freeze on all immigration, and Visa's, and also close down our boarders to protect our citizens.

They know that our computers have been compromised.

From the INS and their broken down computers and the FBI computers that does counter terror with their arrest of the two FBI agents that were within the last year.

"Lets hope they don't start walking into malls and setting of bombs like they do to disco's across the pond."

On Saturday, 09/15/01, there was a bomb threat around noon at the local mall (in central North Carolina). I know because I was there. Everybody (customers and employees alike) had to evacuate. There were a couple firetrucks and about two dozen police cars. Everybody was in a state of panic, especially since WTC had just happened 4 days prior. I was never able to find out whether there was in fact a REAL bomb planted, as there was no mention of anything on the news.

First, please don't make ridiculous assertions about Arabs not having any involvement in the sneak attack that killed thousands of innocent civilians. It makes you sound foolish.

I have nothing to say here. You can look to the evidence with your naked eye and use your free mind yourself. I'm not going to do that for you. The truth is still the truth whether you believe it and find it tasty or not.

Second, I've heard the Quran quoted many times since all those people were murdered. If the Arab world, if Muslims find bin-Laden's beliefs at odds with their faith, then why not put a stop to it and turn him over. Now. As a sign of good faith, I'd like to see a little action and less quoting. If might make claims of sorrow and sympathy such as yours a little more palpable.

This takes us back to the fact that Arabs did not do it. So it's no use.

Third, Don't ever presume to suggest or speak to me about appropriate ways to express my patriotism. Clearly you are at a disadvantage in that area.

Oh? You are showing perfect patriotism by disobeying your president, who called many times against discrimination. You're causing him too much trouble because he has to sweep your errors every time you attack a Muslim by making a speech or going to a mosque. Poor president. His citizens are so patriotic..

[who knows what evil?]

WKWE: Go back and re-read my #93. I have NEVER so much as used the word "accent" on any of these threads, I am quoting Zorobel, it is about "middle eastern origin". Please strive for accuracy and don't see things that aren't there and ascribe them to me.

Geez...I went back and read those posts, and I sure didn't make it very clear, did I? In post #105, I was AGREEING with the statement that the driver was QUOTED as saying "middle eastern origin", and that the media was spinning the statement into "middle eastern accent", which was NOT what the driver said. In the first sentence of #166, I was addressing you as an individual. From that point on, I was addressing everyone else who was buying into the fraudulent "accent" statement that the driver NEVER MADE when speaking with the doctor originally. (That sentence SHOULD have read "The REST of you have already bought the spin".) I am in east Tennessee, and had radio/tv coverage distracting me while trying to keep the focus on the TRUTH. I was bent out of shape because people were getting caught up in debating a statement that had NEVER BEEN MADE. In striving for accuracy, I screwed up hard-core by accidentally implying that YOU had made statements about "middle eastern accent", which, of course, was NOT ACCURATE!!! Travis, my humble apologies! I have seen your post regarding "middle east ORIGIN" all over these threads...that is GOSPEL! I heard it myself, have indicated so on numerous related threads, and I apologize to Travis, who was maligned by my carelessness.

"Has anyone heard of a suicidal person taking control of a bus in order to destroy it and himself within, say, the last 100 years? No? I thought so. Do we know of any other group of people which has done something similar with airplanes recently?

I'm thinking what you're thinking. And that's what...."

Very well said. And I agree 100%.

If the Arab world, if Muslims find bin-Laden's beliefs at odds with their faith, then why not put a stop to it and turn him over. Now. As a sign of good faith, I'd like to see a little action and less quoting. If might make claims of sorrow and sympathy such as yours a little more palpable.

A-FReepin'-men! (Thank you to whoever posted the first version of that! *G*) I'm sorry, but I just don't see what good lip-service does anybody. Actions speak louder than words. As you just said, let's see more action, and less yapping. (And griping, and whining, and lying!) Israel is killing innocent people? Really? Proof, please. The whole state of Israel is, for absolutely no reason, killing scores of innocents? I cannot possibly even pretend to believe that. I'm not ignorant, and I don't buy that sort of mindless rhetoric. Enough spin, already!

If there are state-sanctioned killings of innocent people, I want a link, or some other impartial reference to collaborate that! No Palestinian "National Enquirers." Irrefutable evidence. Absolute proof. If you please?!

[Letitring]

I still want to know WHO you think DID do it?

[Clinton's a rapist]

You're making too much sense. The brain-washing hasn't taken effect yet, obviously.

[rbmillerjr]

he knows who did it. (in his hardened heart)

Today there were two bomb threats called into the Greyhound bus station in Atlanta, and the station had to be evacuated.

[Alan Ford]

All told, Croats committed more than 20 acts of terror in the U.S. from 1976 through 1980.

While the Serbs were Allies during both world wars, saving counless downed alled pilots in the process and they get demonized , bombed and blamed for genocide (of 2500 KLA terrorists) just because Monica desided to tell all about her blowjob experience with the Comander in Chief in the White house

Last, I have questioned some of your statements on this thread. I have expressed my fatigue with your extreme sensitivity to criticism. When I read your post in their entirrty on this thread and on yesterday's thread I find I must question your sincerity and your candor. For instance today, you say you're a Palestian, yesterday you were a Muslim American. Unless you have two heads or dual citizenship I find those statements to be contradictory.

You say Arabs/Muslims were not involved in this cowardly, sneak attack on innocent civilians. I say they were. If you have evidence they were not then you ought to be talking with the FBI. I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear from you. Certainly, not all Arabs/Muslims are hijackers but it is certain that 100% of the maniacs who hijacked those 4 airplanes and murdered all those people were Arabs/Muslims.

As for my behavior being at crosspoints to the President's wishes. Give it a rest, you really don't want to go there.

What a day in TN - Fumes make postal workers sick, bus crashes, a school bus (no students aboard) is hi-jacked, building evacuated due to suspicious package that emits something causing nausea/vomiting..

LOL

I drove that interstate yesterday. I have lived in this area all my life. If I wanted to really kill a bunch of folk I'd have waited 30 minutes longer on make my move coming down Monteagle Mtn. It is steep and there is evenan inspection station that truckers must stop at before descending. There is even a runaway ramp 3/4 down the mtn.

If he had made his move then it would have been FAR worse!!

If it is a terrorist he didn't do a very good job of scouting the route and maximizing it's potential.

[FITZ]

This takes us back to the fact that Arabs did not do it.

Then be like OJ Simpson and help us find the real killers.

Never having been convinced of the need before this, I am now convinced and am just now reaching for the phone book to find the number of the nearest gun shop. And will be gathering info in the next few days for what the proper steps are to do it legally.
