Man Who Predicted First Two Trade Center Attacks Says Something May Happen SOON
Deseret News/The Lid ^ | 9/9/07 | The Lid

Posted on 09/09/2009 4:28:24 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

Daniel J. Hill joined the US Army at the age of 15, by lying about his age. He eventually became a Special Forces paratrooper and served in Germany....In 1960 he was assigned to infiltrate the Katanga insurrection in the Congo where he met his lifelong friend, Rick Rescorla.... Rescorla had become Director of Security for Dean Witter Securities (later merged with Morgan Stanley), which occupied a number of floors in the World Trade Center. Rescorla had become increasingly concerned about the potential for a terrorist attack against the center and in 1990 hired Hill to provide an assessment of the building's vulnerabilities. Hill singled out the basement parking garage as the obvious point for a car-bomb attack, telling Rescorla that if he were a terrorist he would fill a truck with ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel and detonate it in the underground parking garage. Rescorla reported these findings to the New York Port Authority and the New York Police Department but received no official response. In 1993 the World Trade Center bombing took place in almost exactly the manner Hill had predicted.

Following the bombing, Rescorla and Hill wrote a report, which warned that the next logical step would be a suicide terrorist flying a plane into the building... In 2001, his contacts told him that a major attack against the US was imminent, and he attempted to revive the plan; but he was again turned down by the FBI. He lost his life-long friend, Rick Rescorla, in the 9/11 attack.

Hill is not done predicting terrorist attacks, He was interviewed by Lee Benson of the Deseret News and feels that something may be immanent and it it will be bigger than 9/11

he said, noting that it's believed that years ago the suitcase nukes, acquired from former USSR operatives, were smuggled into America across the Mexican border.

With all the troubles at the border today, anything could be brought over.

...and we have a Muslim sympathiser (at best) as President in the Whitehouse.

God help us if this man proves accurate at this time.

Van Jones = Frank Davis = Bill Ayers = Bernardine Dohrn = Jeremiah Wright = Tony Rezko = Rashid Khalidi = Valerie Jarrett’s = Raila Ordinga = Carol Browner = Rahm Emanuel = Henry Gates = John Holdren = Rosa Brooks = Eric Holder = Ezekiel Emanuel = BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

This is who the man is. A cauldron of corruption, greed, marxism and communism...with troubling ties to Islam.

The above is nearly word for word the Wikipedia entry for Daniel J. Hill. With, of course a request for donations posted above it.

Weird. According to this story, Hill is a Muslim. He lives in my town, so I guess he goes to the mosque (formerly a tiny Pentecostal church) out by the new movie theatre. I have only occasionally seen people there, and they mostly appear to be Pakistanis rather than Arabs. And Hill, I guess...

"Daniel J. Hill joined the US Army at the age of 15, by lying about his age."

Suitcase nukes would have to have processed fissionable material with a short half-life. These things would have to get the newly-processed material installed and then used within a few months of that.

I don’t think Iran could provide that type of material (yet), and getting it from the Russians is about as reliable as responding to a Nigerian e-mail.

This could happen, but I think a lot more detail about how and who would be needed to give credibility to these prognostications.

Can you imagine the kind of crap that would come down the pike if a 9/11 happened under Obama’s watch? He’d make the (un)Patriot Act, MCA, DHS, ect look like the Founders came up with them. Gulag Amerika, here we come.

Sounds plausible. Depending on altitude, I might be in the fallout path from Chicago....

Of course they mean to attack us again.
But this administration being full of whackjobs, truthers, and haters of teh constitution woiuld rather go after the citizenry instead of doing the honest thing and kill the bad guuys.
