OBL Active in Vegas, Valdez and VA plots.

A little more precise info is being released this morning of the increased terror alerts.

OBL is believed to have approved holiday plans personally, thus prompting the increased alert.

And in addition to the #2 US New Years tourist destination of Vegas, oil important Valdez Alaska and a bizarre little town in Virgina (Tappahannock) are identified.

The article ( www.msnbc.msn.com... ) call Tappahannock a tiny town of 2,016 people with no military base or major infrastructure. And speculates that such an attack would be intended to generate widespread fear that no one was safe, even in small rural towns, they said.

Possibly, but I think it's just as likely a possible code for a real target. Throw in some common sense big names like a Vegas (scare tourists) and Valdez (hard to protect) then a seemingly red herring like Tappahannock. Plenty of scare factor, yes, but could it be more?

Could this be code? One theory is all AQ cells may use the same maps. Atlas grids have bizarre references in them, and it wouldn't be hard (if you knew the number code) to find the city 815 miles from Tappannock (in this example it's Chicago). Or a universal website like Mapquest may just hold the key.

The number code may even exist in the relationship between Vegas and Valdez. I immediately thought of the double slash of "11" in the "V" of both names. Maybe it's just me, not Jihadist code.

Sounds a bit of a stretch to us, but not the Intelligence community I'm sure. Imagine if the code makers and code breakers of WWII had the Internet to play with!

Mind boggling.

Tappahannock Municipal Airport - ... Latitude: 37�55'30"N. Longitude: 76�52'18"W.

How Tappahannock got its name......

In 1608, this area was first visited by Captain John Smith. The area was inhabited by Native Americans and when Captain Smith attempted to land here he was fiercely driven back to his ship. It was a Native American village and so he gave both the river and the village Native American names. The river became the Rappahannock, which meant "rise and fall" of water, and the village, set upon it, became Tappahannock, which means "town on the rise and fall of water"... www.essex-virginia.org...

interesting, hopefully none of these threats/plans come to fruition.

Probably not Auscon. They say much of the point of chatter is terror. I believe anything that happens won't be forewarned.

But I'm flipping channels here in the US now. Every other story is OBL and the irony of Tappahannock... they keep saying "a little town of 2016" ...2016...2016.

If nothing else AQ has successfully made me crazy and seeing things in messages that aren't even there.

They keep saying the US knows the targeted International flight numbers, but won't release that info.

Flight 2016?

Or a beer shy of John Hinkley.

Actually, I bet the Intel spooks have real Nash types just doing this ALL DAY. That'd be fun. I look at decks of tables all day for trends in marketing, why not terror?

Perhaps Valhall and i were early rather than wrong, we predicted attacks on las vegas and the hoover dam, with partial evidence to support it.

The problem with Hoover Damn (if you've taken the tour) is that its' one of the few sites in this country built to withstand a terrorist attack...or war for that matter.

I think Vegas is a gimme too for the future. This time yesterday though, I would have said it was a date:

L = 12 / V = 22.

I'm not too sure about the date theory if they came out in that order. 12/22 is a date that is pertinent to the US but other countries would write it 22/12.

Plus I reckon the alphabet/corresponding number code is way too simple.

As for 2016. Maybe it corresponds to the verse in the Koran? -
"The hour of the end of the world is surely coming. I will keep it almost hidden for each soul must be paid for it's works."

A nice friendly message to keep you on your toes over Christmas.

That was kinda freaky. Scary in fact. Then I just picked up the first book I saw. A Readers Digest from 1967

Page 201, starting on line 6:

The weather was freezing, the roads miserable. Where would they live? And if John were defeated he would stay only until the swearing-in ceremonies of the new President. Under the circumstances, would it be worthwhile?
