Duck In Noose...Care To Read?

The Rabbit Goes Duck Hunting

The Rabbit was so boastful that he would claim to do what- ever he saw anyone else do, and so tricky that he could usually make the other animals believe it all. Once he pretended that he could swim in the water and eat fish just as the Otter did, and when the others told him to prove it he fixed up a plan so that the Otter himself was deceived.

Soon afterward they met again and the Otter said, "I eat ducks sometimes." Said the Rabbit, "Well, I eat ducks too." The Otter challenged him to try it; so they went up along the river until they saw several ducks in the water and managed to get near without being seen. The Rabbit told the Otter to go first. The Otter never hesitated, but dived from the bank and swam under water until he reached the ducks, when he pulled one down without being noticed by the others, and came back in the same way.

While the Otter had been under the water the Rabbit had peeled some bark from a sapling and made himself a noose. "Now," he said, "Just watch me;" and he dived in and swam a little way under the water until he was nearly choking and had to come up to the top to breathe. He went under again and came up again a little nearer to the ducks. He took another breath and dived under, and this time he came up among the ducks and threw the noose over the head of one and caught it. The duck struggled hard and finally spread its wings and flew up from the water with the Rabbit hanging on to the noose.

It flew on and on until at last the Rabbit could not hold on any longer, but had to let go and drop. As it happened, he fell into a tall, hollow sycamore stump without any hole at the bottom to get out from and there he stayed until he was so hungry that he had to eat his own fur, as the rabbit does ever since when he is starving. After several days, when he was very weak with hunger, he heard children playing outside around the trees. He began to sing:

Cut a door and look at me; I'm the prettiest thing you ever did see.

The children ran home and told their father, who came and began to cut a hole in the tree. As he chopped away the Rabbit inside kept singing, "Cut it larger, so you can see me better; I"m so pretty." They made the hole larger, and then the Rabbit told them to stand back so that they could take a good look as he came out. They stood away back, and the Rabbit watched his chance and jumped out and got away.

I don't have TV here. What exactly did Chief Moose say about a duck in a noose, and in what context?

Thanks anyone.

There is a message here Jeff. He is making it a point to get his message out and be heard. Especially the message about the children not being safe anywhere or anytime. I really believe Halloween being the night across America when kids are out on their own all night will be the Halloween we all feared would be an entire blood bath last year.

I don't think I am thinking too much out the box. This is being coded in cryptic messages and almost tale/nursery rhyme codes.

I think something is up with the number 13...death..tarot..that whole environment of mystery and black magic.October 31st is a day I am not looking forward to seeing what happens in this country.

How could have the snipers/terrorists known the kid was 13? Is this operation so sophisicated that they chose specific victims and did research on them in advance?

Very interesting. Thanks for the research. I just emailed Fox News with a link here. They had about 3 people on who had no idea what the phrase might mean.

I honestly believe there is casing going on in some respects. There is an average age of kids that go to that school...just thinking outloud...but remember the press is talking that there were more tarot cards dropped..with messages but we don't know what they say.

Last year there were so many threats about Halloween...that has not even been discussed this year to be honest..locally.Maybe in the Northeast..but not in my neck of the woods.

The attack promised on our children and in our heartland is going to happen I fear and the last thing I want to come off as is an alarmist here. I am just writing out theory.

"The tarot card is card 13"

Which one? You said several have been left.

"there are 13 people shot as of now

Yes and at one point there was 12 shot.

"and now we have a message he wanted said tonight"

We dont know if he wanted it spoken tonight. All we know is that it was spoken tonight.

Can someone offer a coherent, rational explanation for what this thread is about? Because neither it or anything anyone is saying really makes much sense? How does anything Moose or the sniper says tie into this? How are you connecting Tarot cards to this?

Please explain this. This sounds like any one of a number of native american folklore tales I read in a college course years ago. By the way, many of those folktales are inauthentic, and were written by anthropology grad students in the 1920s - 60s.

If you're going to post something like this, you need to offer more of an explanation for it. I'm eager to hear what you think, but you need to do it in some sort of coherent fashion.

Look, I know it is late, and know this sounds REALLY dumb, but before I go out on a limb that is sure to snap off I need some SERIOUS in-put. I was playing around with the anagrams of the exact phrase that the Moose said tonight: "We caught the sniper like a duck in a noose." Well the anagram server would not take the whole phrase----too long, so I toddled off to bed with the word puzzle and all of a sudden, the following unraveled....now PLEASE be aware I'm not trying to scare anyone, nor is my tinfoil wound too tight, and be aware, there are FIVE letters left over which I have not yet figured. It's just that a message so clear seems QUITE a coincidence.

Having said all of that, here's the anagram:

Release the nuke in DC skip town. The letters left are A G H U A. Try not to flame me too much, but should I take this info to someone? Anyone???

"Have a look at this link"

Why?

The sniper asked him to say publicly, "we have caught the sniper like a duck in a noose." Then we find that the Duck in a Noose is a Native American fable. So the speculation about the real meaning of the message.
