Terrorism Threat

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I believe the next several months will be the most critical of my lifetime. Not only are we facing y2k, but at the same time we are facing major economic problems due to the probable collapse of the stock market mania and the threat of major terrorist attacks. Below are three recent reports concerning the possibility of major terrorist attacks:

From World News Summary: WELL-KNOWN GLOBAL ANALYST SHARES 'SADDAM HUSSEIN'S SECRET PLAN OF REVENGE' August 27, 1999

Joseph de Courcy, editor of the well-respected "Intelligence Digest," says in a mailing delivered to subscribers this week: "While NATO congratulates itself on bombing the Serbs into submission, Israel's Mossad and other Middle Eastern intelligence sources have discovered that Kosovo was one humiliation too many for Russia. Now Moscow has agreed to back Saddam's secret plan of revenge. With this all-important Russian backing, Saddam is joining with hated Iran and Syria to launch one final war against Israel. Amazingly, Saddam will allow Iranian troops to cross Iraqi territory to join the attack on Israel. And to keep America from interfering, Moscow has given Osama bin Laden and other terrorists the means to attack American population centers with weapons of mass destruction. The threat is real...and the implications terrifying..."

Bin Laden's Nuclear Weapons

ex-Soviet Warheads Become Fuel for Portable Terrorist Nuclear Bombs

Arab-funded terrorists smuggle nuclear warheads, purchased from the Russian mafia with opium and cash out of Russian territory, reaching Khost overland via secret routes through Uzbekistan. There, former Soviet scientists remove the active uranium to be processed and placed in backpack-sized nuclear bombs--ready for transportation to the West undetected--to explode in a blast of nuclear terror.

Al-Watan al-Arabi, an Arabic language newsmagazine, reports that worldwide terrorist mastermind Usama bin Laden has used two tons of opium and $30 million to purchase over twenty nuclear warheads. Bin Laden has hired an international team of rogue nuclear scientists working in a secret underground base to convert warheads stolen from former Soviet republics into miniature portable nuclear devices capable of striking targets around the globe.

The newsmagazine further states that bin Laden developed ties with the mafias of former Soviet republics during the Afghan War which provided him the key to obtaining nuclear missile warheads from the disintegrating USSR.

Subject: FP and FPL: Speech by the Hon. William Cohen

I would like to bring to the attention of the scientific community a document in the public domain, part of a speech by the Honorable WIliam Cohen, U.S. Defense Secretary, at the University of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28th 1997, at a conference organized by former Senator Sam Nunn. The relevant quote is: "Other (terrorists) are enaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes, remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.........it's real and that is the reason we have to intensify our (counter terrorism) efforts." This speech was released to the press, and is in the public domain. This kind of statement cannot be understood in terms of Maxwell Heaviside theory, so there is an extremely urgent need to develop a new kind of electrodynamics. The principle is that one must assume that such weapons exist, or be caught by surprise. Bill Cohen and Sam Nunn are responsible, highly experienced, and level headed. There is effectively no stable government in the former USSR, a state of near anarchy prevails, an extremely dangerous scenario for NATO. The conservative academic adherence to an utterly discredited U(1) theory is actually leaving NATO wide open to surprise attack in the opinion of the US Government in the form of the Secretary of Defense. This is also my personal opinion as a permanent resident alien of the US, and British /EEC citizen. The O(3) idea is a first step to what should develop into a massive NATO research effort. This is why I have been working so intensively on papers in the past few months, and ask editors and referees to bear with me and go the extra mile.

If we get the second edition of MNO then the pressure on editors and referees will be eased.

Whoa. When the Secr of Defense sounds WILDER than this Forum, time to think carefully.

"Other (terrorists) are enaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes, remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.........it's real and that is the reason we have to intensify our (counter terrorism) efforts."

Read the original post on this thread and visualize the possibility ...

sounds like he's talking about our own HAARP system. i didn't think anybody else had one (like one on this planet isn't bad enough).

-- sarah (qubr@aol.com), August 28, 1999.

You know, my mother and sister are both having trouble with their AT&T Internet service. Mom finally got past the menu (after two days) and spoke with some gentleman who barely spoke english. I TOLD her it was probably Bin Laden, hangin' out, killing some time. Who would have guessed?

Sarah, is the HAARP thing what they were referring to in The Celestine Prophecy?

-- Ashton & Leska in Cascadia (allaha@earthlink.net), August 28, 1999.

My God, if that's the type of threats they were talking about in the public domain back in 1997, I shudder to think what they're keeping under wraps today. Anybody got a URL for that quote?

-- a (a@a.a), August 28, 1999.


I would like to more abt this too. There is a global terrorist alert that has been issued, if anyone is interested. I have heard of the harp project but I wasn't aware anyone else had one..or it could cause earthquakes. Anyone have any current info on it? I have a web page for it but doesn't seem to have alot..plus some weird stuff on it too.

-- Moore Dinty moore (not@thistime.com), August 28, 1999.

Anyone have a link for HAARP? Thanks!

-- Mumsie (Shezdremn@aol.com), August 28, 1999.

I can help with that one...

This business about setting off earthquakes and volcanos with electromagnetic waves is ludicrous. Maybe with a few terawatts of microwaves you could soften up enough rock along a fault line to trigger one - but surely someone would notice that many power plants going up along the San Andreas??

-- Ned (entaylor@cloudnet.com), August 28, 1999.


HAARP looks like an interesting project, I especially find the antenna array intriguing.

I suppose it raises the question about deliberately messing with the Earth's magnetic field, but the power level at the altitude they are aiming for is probably smaller than the 50'000 watt monster AM station in Atlanta.

I like the crossed dipole design and I wonder if they would mind if I tried that idea on an experimental ham antenna. Would men in black flash me with a Forget it light?
