      took place after 3 photographs of anomalous cloud formations over the 
      Santa Barbara Channel, Ca. had been taken, and a large "skyquake" heard 
      around noon.  Vandenberg AFB is about 50 miles from Santa Barbara, 
      and is where the missiles are launched from on the west coast. Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2001 23:22:41 -0600 
        
        Tony, 
        
          
        
        Yes, looks very much 
        as if the Yakuza crews got another one.  Potentially, that's a B-2 and 
        an important missile launch.  Hey, that guarantees the rent payment to 
        the KGB for another year at least. 
        
          
        
        Will be looking for 
        any additional information on both these events; also expecting other 
        events.  If things go as I would foresee, the KGB (not necessarily Putin 
        himself!)  will gradually assist in "raising the ante" and "throwing a 
        little sand in the gears".  They will do it gradually, since they know 
        that Americans normally do not react to slowly increasing threats.  The 
        terrorist threat has been slowly increasing for decades, without any big 
        todo in the U.S. But once the rattler hit (the two towers) we reacted.  
        We always react to the rattler, not to the Boa Constrictor. 
        
          
        
        So they will keep it 
        in the boa constrictor approach, most likely, while Bin Laden's forces 
        here gear up for the next rattler strike. 
        
          
        
        Cheers, 
        
        Tom 
        
          
 
        
        Carol R*** just advised me 
        that the missile launched today failed just after takeoff and was 
        destroyed.  VAFB public affairs also say it was destroyed 30 secs after 
        launch.  |
