c4i Question... his prediction for Oil seems to be playing out...

Well I guess he/she was a fake... or not?

Didn't seem to get much right at all - or we just lucked out, as Zog says.

But his group was very insistent on Oil - said that road trips would be history, and that it would not get really bad until 2nd Qtr 2000 - about April/May.

Seems to me now that if the oil trend continues, as in price increases and more embedded problems surfacing, his prediction may play out...

Andy:

You may know that c4i is an American Military acronym meaning: Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence.

This is a summary phrase for the technical infrastructure needed to create effective and winnable battle-plans, under the process called Intelligence Preparation for the Battlefield.

c4i purported to be a group, by the posts of theirs I've read.

My last reponse to Hokie's post a few down mentioned my confusion regarding the volume of sabre-rattling over an APPARENTLY abundant commodity--oil.

There may be some missing details to the story still.

That's all I know for now...stand by to stand by!

Yep, I remain concerned about oil. It is still too soon to get a ruling on this though.

Come to think of it c41 may have got a lot right - I don't have his last thread handy...

He said there would be no martial law... I think he also predicted serious brownouts...

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), January 16, 2000.


Read the last one, not the last fake one. Oil was key, kept down playing rollover problems and national guard, etc...

Worth a read for comparison sake if nothing else. Don't prep for the end of the world, prep because you never know.

Squid, I hate to admit it but I gotta ask for either the title or a link. They all seem to run together for me.....

in SFBay area, a Shell sells at 1.75/gal while across street, an Arco sells for 1.29/gal. I've never seen that before. There be strange signs...

Speaking of Brownouts...

A quarter of Kansas City in it's northwest quadrant has been blacked out Saturday evening. Power co. refuses to comment on what the problem is...which is unusual...normally they're very fast to say what the problem is... usually squirrels... So I guess this time it might have been an attack from the Squirrel King's Terrorist groups again. Another Kamikaze squirrel bites the powerline.

Oh we also had a major explosion but there are conflicting stories as to cause. One TV station reporting it as Natural gas and another saying it was due to fireworks... All from a house in a residential neighborhood. Oh well

Question for Harry.......

Okay, outages are a problem, I think we all would agree with that. My question is "Has the power been restored or is one quarter of Kansas City still in the dark?"

Investigators probing fatal Kansas City blast

Reuters
Sunday, January 16, 2000

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Investigators said today they believe an explosive device triggered a fatal explosion that obliterated one house, burned another to the ground and shook neighboring homes and businesses for miles around south Kansas City Saturday night.

``All the evidence points to some sort of explosive device,'' said fire department spokesman Phillip Wall.

A large amount of chemicals and pyrotechnic devices similar to those used to make fireworks were discovered in the debris, officials said.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was working with local bomb investigators, and a special team of explosives experts was being flown in from Washington, D.C., to work the case, they said.

The first explosion occurred shortly before 6 p.m. CST. A huge fireball shot into the sky as a series of other successive blasts blew out windows throughout the area.

One man, who was living in the home where the explosives were located, was found dead in the basement, the only section of the home that remained.

Two elderly neighbors, a 90-year-old woman and a 73-year-old man, were forced to flee their home as it became engulfed in flames and burned to the ground.

Another man, who was driving past the area when the blast occurred, suffered minor injuries when a piece of the exploding house flew through his windshield.

Debris from the explosion was spread across three city blocks and fire officials were cautioning that unexploded, incendiary items may still pose a danger to the area.

The south Midtown area where the explosions occurred is an older section of the city populated with single-family homes and several small retail outlets, including a car wash where at least one customer's car windows were blown out.

Fire investigators initially suspected the explosions were triggered by a natural gas leak. But the power of the initial blast made that unlikely, officials said.
