who says there was no warning before 9/11?

[twilight]

A long time ago, not long after 9/11, I saw this message posted on a finance bulletin board. It is dated 5/21/2001 from "slaveofallah2001".

It was replied to in this message dated 9/13/2001!!!!!

Tell me again there was no advance warning after you read this message! :grr: :nuke: :grr:

America and the west is doomed .This recession is only the beggining of great irrevocable depression worse than 1929

America already has no peace of mind and now here will be no money too .The only way is surrender to Allah he is sure to save you from agony

1. Won't say there was no advanced warning...

...but that message isn't it.

Sounds like RW fundie crap to me, which highlights how little difference there is between the groups.

3. did you notice the punctuation and spelling?

It seems odd at best to me. It is dated May 25, 2001 - just around the time that Clarke states that "chatter" was ignored.

If this is not "chatter", I don't know what is. However, why someone would post it on a Yahoo! message board is suspicious I agree.

I believe it may be for real for the reasons I state above. How do any of us really know? :shrug:

In any event, the timing sure is right!

5. True. However...

...I'm more inclined to chalk this one up as coincidence. For nearly any world event you could probably go back and find something unrelated that was a "warning" or something. *shrug* Way to easy to read something into a "nothing" when you look back. Besides which there are far more things that are much easier to link directly to 9/11.

2. Wow!

Somebody claiming to be a muslim predicted bad things for the US! Irrefutable proof that they knew planes were going to fly into buildings.

4. it is not "irrefutable" evidence by any means

However, tell me, why is it that I have saved this message for almost 3 years now?

Something isn't right ...

It mentions depression, etc. It mentions nothing about why a depression might occur I'll agree or planes flying into buildings either. Still the same, I cannot and will not forget this one.

6. Warning: Tongue in cheek response follows.

you saved it because you are a paranoid conspiracy theorist?

[twilight]

7. you nailed me

Yep, I am a conspiracy believer (not theorist). Furthermore, the reason I saved it is because of the dates/statement involved. You must admit the spelling and punctuation is bizarre at best. What explains this phenomena - stupidity or someone from another place or even perhaps time?

I'll continue to save it (already have 1,000 copies printed out that I hand out on street corners ... oh don't ya know it!) :evilgrin:

8. Bizzare spelling and puncuation?

have you looked at some of the stuff here on good ole DU? Good Lord Ole Mighty! I admit mine can be bad but some of the stuff on here even makes me look like a Rhodes Scholar.

[twilight]

9. well how does this look

is this bizzare spelling and punctuation ? I think it is . Of course you are right - we all put our periods one space after the end of a sentence . Or no space at all

:wtf:

10. Oh, it's unusual to be sure.

Then again if English isn't your native language...

11. Ashcroft admitted after 9/11 that members of the administration...

had been flying only on leased/charter aircraft for a couple of months before the attack because of fear of hijackings. I remember him saying it at a press conference as if to calm fears that administration officials were in any danger.
