From the original article:
The Sin of the Golden Calf, although totally unacceptable, was easier to rectify. The Israelites were punished, repented and returned to G-d. The Sin of the Spies is much more difficult to eradicate and rectify. It is not a tactical sin but a rejection of the entire purpose of the Jewish Nation. It is a strategic sin – a strategic error of cosmic proportions. It is a lack of understanding of the goal of the journey, the loss of the purpose for our very existence.
Compare:
"Just as Yom Kippur symbolizes the atonement for the sin of the Golden Calf, Tu B'Av signifies the atonement for the sin of the Spies, where ten came bearing such negative reports which reduced the entire nation to panic. As a result of that sin, it was decreed by God that the nation would remain in the desert for 40 years, and that no person 20 or older would be allowed to enter Israel."
America would do well to take note.

"On December 17, 2006, a ceremony was held in Battery Park City, with members of the public invited to sign a 30-foot (9.1 m) steel beam.[25] This beam, the first to be installed, was welded onto the building's base on December 19, 2006.[26] Afterwards, construction of the foundation and further steel installation commenced, and by the end of 2007, the tower’s footings and foundations were nearly complete.[27]"

From an old website that was looking through the glass darkly, an important word about that 2003:
Now from the end of the book of Daniel we understand that the times in the book are coded, and will be revealed at the end of times.
We can now see something very interesting. The word `hundreds` in Hebrew (me'ot) has two meanings. One is, of-course, "hundreds", and the other is "from a sign".
The Midrash (Tanhuma) explains the mentioned verse from Daniel this way: When the morning of the world-nations will become evening. So we understand that we are talking about a time that relates to the world-nations, not Jews.
Now we can see clearly and read the verse correctly:
And he told me: until the eve of morning of two thousands and three from a sign...
And the 'sign' of the world-nations is clearly the birth of Yesh"u of Nazzerath.

Gen 11.
4. And they said, Come, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach to heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth:
5. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men built:
6. And the Lord said, Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have schemed to do:
