Possibly inspired by the Discovery Channel's entertaining programming featuring a potentially flooded New York city following a "solar storm," three men were taken into custody today to thwart their attempt to flood lower manhattan by destroying a tunnel.

Three of eight "principal players" in an alleged plot to blow up a tunnel between New York City and New Jersey are in custody, the FBI said Friday.

FBI Assistant Director Mark Mershon said the plan was "what we believe was the real deal," a scheme involving al Qaeda members on three continents.
[...]
The scheme was in the planning stages but was about to move into the execution phase with an attack set for October or November, Mershon said.


These arrests, if they lead to convictions, will be significant scores for law enforcement agencies who have been tasked with the exceedingly difficult program of trying to stop terrorist plots before they've been hatched. It also answers one question that has been nagging the minds of many Americans since 9/11, will we ever know if anti-terror law enforcement is working, since the government wouldn't want to divulge details of every plotter they caught? The answer is yes, since a "leak" in FBI, and likely other law enforcement agencies, is incapable of containing his or her exuberance at this triumph of intelligence and investigation and refrain from going to the press after something good happens. Not that I'm not pleased at the arrest of these people who, for whatever misguided purpose, seek to terrorize one of the areas in the US with the highest concentration of people opposed to Bush's foreign policies. But let's not go on pretending that the government is constantly putting away terrorists that they just aren't telling us about.

Were the three "principal players" named Ford, GM, and ExxonMobil by any chance?

Dopes didn't realize you can't flood lower Manhattan by blowing up a tunnel since Manhattan is all above sea level. The only thing that would be flooded would be the tunnel itself and Ground Zero.

We should be expecting more and more of these arrests as we get closer to November 7th.

After that, strangely, they will drop off.

You couldn't flood Manhattan with a two-foot snowstorm (Nor'easter) last February, so how is water from a below sea level tunnel going to "flood" more than just the tunnel ramps at the surface?

Next the media will tell us that the South Asia tsunami was an Al-Qeida plot.....

I dont want to sound like a nut..
But has anybody ever questioned if these stories are real.
its no lie that the Reaganites are notorious for fueling their countries fear to get what they want.. and since bush has lied to all of us before.. perhaps this shit is a lie too..


Just a thought.. what do you think

That smells funny.

This story was supposedly leaked prematurely (according to the 1st video linked). Once again... if the media can get their hands on it, so can terrorists.

Also the links to bin Laden were from a confession extracted in Lebanon... Not the greatest country in terms of humanitarianism.

Woo Lebanon

So maybe it's legit... maybe it's bull. I've just about given up on caring.



Agreed, agreed, and agreed..

its pretty sad when you start not to care because you cant trust the information your getting.. people should be very concerned with this... but we arnt.. can you blame us

The "joke" was that global warming is projected to submerge all coastal cities, so if the idea is to prevent flooding in lower Manhattan, they arrested the wrong people.

This war on terror is so fake it is not even funny anymore at this point.

It is so scripted and orderly in fact ... that prominent members of the media give us sneak previews of fake al-queda tapes and let us know days in advance when they intend to roll them out for our entertainment and edification.

I always think it is cute when the "tapes" are traced to having been uploaded onto servers and hosted on government websites inside of the U.S.

It is even better, when the al-queda claims of responsibilities for bombings are posted onto servers in Houston, that track back to friends of the Bush family.

I think the timing of the Tanweer video "emerging" right before 7/7 is the more amazing phenomenon. Even more amazing than the fact that the 7/7 mastermind worked for british intelligence and that the 7/7 bombings coincided with exercises and drills that mirrored the bombings nearly precisely.

You know if I didn't know any better I would think that there is an obvious propaganda war going on right now to present victory after victory in the war on terror.

I mean add it all up over the past month or so : finding the WMD's in Iraq, killing al-Zarqawi, Canadian mounties supplying explosives to teenagers so they could arrest them for a terror plot, the FBI creating "an al-queda terrorcell" out of whole cloth using entrapment of homeless minorities in Miami, the chemical weapons raid in East London where no one was charged, nothing was found, a man got shot, but the media pretended it was a successful bust .... and now this load of total crap, where they intercepted the discussion of jerkoffs on an internet board that had zero operational capacity. whatever

We are being set up for the next big false-flag operation by a western government. These are hors doerves for us to snack on as they set the main course. Expect a few more al-CIA-da tapes, a few more "successful busts" proudly displayed by the actual "drive-by media," and then wham - one of these governments is going to set off a nuke or release a chem/bio-weapon.

These governments can then act like the goalie that is blocking kick after kick, but eventually succumbed as one slipped through in spite of their best efforts. They can then fault the last dangling shreds of liberty for acting as an obstacle to their "keeping us safe" and use it as justification to finish erecting their global panoptical prison.



Hey buddy, ever here of these:

Many will say September 11, 2001. The answer as far as the United State
is concerned is 1979, 22 years prior to September 2001, with the
following attacks on us:

* Iran Embassy Hostages, 1979;
* Beirut, Lebanon Embassy 1983;
* Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks 1983;
* Lockerbie, Scotland Pan-Am flight to New York 1988;
* First New York World Trade Center attack 1993;
* Dhahran, Saudi Arabia Khobar Towers Military complex 1996;
* Nairobi, Kenya US Embassy 1998;
* Dares Salaam, Tanzania US Embassy 1998;
* Aden, Yemen USS Cole 2000;
* New York World Trade Center 2001;
* Pentagon 2001.

Note that during the period from 1981 to 2001 there were 7,581 terrorist
attacks worldwide.

Hey did you notice that 5 of those attacks occured on Clinton's watch? Maybe you think Clinton is one of those looney right wingers.

You are the one suggesting that there is some right wing shadow conspirecy that some how is able to not only fake news stories about terror plots but is able to control the left wing liberal media to boot. That is a hard pill for me to swallow. I am sure you know who the Illuminati are and if you do then my remark should be easily understood.

Well, gee, no, I didn't say any of that. My point was simply that this administation controls the security apparatus and therefore controls the when, where and how of the release of information.

In order the win the midterm elections the Repulicans need Americans to be fearful. Bush (Rove) is simply doing his part.
