Hot Air Balloon Terrorism

UP, UP, AND AWAY - ABOVE THE LAW II

see also (? of morality - forging documents thread)

Just between you and me, it's that time again.
So get comfortable, pour a strong one - I prefer scotch, and remember when I was laughingly relegated to The Hubb Pub from one of the Sahara threads for explaining how the tracks of terrorists and their hostages simply ended, with no trace, in the middle of the desert. I suggested that hot air balloons might have been employed by the terrorists to escape pursuit.

This after correctly identifying the terrorists as having been commissioned by a "third party" to kidnap the hostages, and that the terrorists and hostage might be holed up in tunnels/ caves/ mines in the desert." I previously have submitted articles confirming the " third party" and the use of tunnels and caves in the desert by terrorist and now I submit two recent articles confirming the use/potential of hot air balloons.

FYI - it is very difficult when remote viewing to get the time line exactly right. But the Times article was spot on.

Form the Washington Times December 2015
"ISIS supporters brainstorm wacky terror attacks involving hot air balloons, remote control cars"

ISIS supporters brainstorm wacky terror attacks involving hot air balloons, remote control cars - Washington Times

As was the Mirror article also December 2015

"ISIS extremists draw up plans to attack aircraft using hot air balloons"


ISIS extremists draw up plans to attack aircraft using hot air balloons - Mirror Online

Do I expect an apology. Nah, that's just life in the Saraha!

Great ... having obtained permission in Cote d'Ivoire to allow other HUBB'ers to fly their balloon there, I'll probably find myself on an Ivorian police 'Wanted' list when I return this week!!!

They are continuing to have a great time flying down the West Coast, but I think I'll send this thread to them!!!

No Worries Mate

No one, at least here on the HU, really believes terrorists could possibly be so creative as to use hot air balloons. Party on amigo.

Exactly!!! But you just need some official to read the story & believe it!!!

Swaziland banned witches on broomsticks from flying higher than 150ft back in June 2013 or so ...

Hubbers v Officials

Si Señor, the RTW hubbers are much more savy than officials, or so they think. This is why many hubbers ride illegally throughout South America without valid insurance, attempt, via the HUBB to illegally sell their foreign registered motorcycles throughout the world, and some, get this, believe in sex before marriage.. God forbid!

Now, if you can fool a hubber you can certainly fool an official: a person who has a real job, probably supporting a wife and/or children, maybe even a son or daughter at university, pays taxes and has to deal with RTW hubbers (not an easy task, I assure you) for very little pay and works under a politically placed incompetent boss who happened to marry into the right family.

So, the hubbers, have figured it out, many, not all!!! don't support families and a few don't even support themselves , and in part have abandoned the system that has enabled them to do so.

And, if truth were known - which it seldom is, the officials are more often than not, the real heroes for if they do figure out the terrorists are using hot air balloons and either get a big bribe from the terrorists to look the other way or call in the troops, they win! And the unbelieving RTWs just suffer the consequences.

On the other hand, some RTW hubbers might just read the story and believe it, but I doubt it.

I get all my news from that reputable font of all knowledge, the Mirror. I found these 2 stories particularly relevant to motorcycle travel:

7 completely legit signs that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike

FYI

Chris, FYI the first article I referenced was the Washington Times... not the Mirror...

and you might want to read the referenced article below... about a brother publication to the Mirror, the National Enquire:

CIA paid the National Enquire millions to add unbelievable facts/ totally ridiculous "facts" to each UFO report to make UFO reports laughable....
and guess what it worked - some are still laughing.

ERINGER: THE COLUMNS: THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER & THE CIA

and then, please explain to me, how McCartney and Boobs relates to this thread? I would be interested in discussing the merits of the thesis presented... would you??? Perhaps you have started already?
Perhaps there is a connection - I know Big Brother (CIA/FBI) was very concerned about the popularity of the Beetles and under orders kept careful watch over them. CIA/FBI was concerned about the antiwar protests - that eventually did end the fiasco in Vietnam, and I would agree the Beetles did influence that movement. If that was your message, then the only Boob connection I could discern had to do with other CIA experiments in the sixties. More about that later.

This thread is about Hot Air Terrorism, in case you missed it, "Hot Air" is a synonym for Bull - s... . So you might want to read more carefully. And, thanks for your comments, I can always count on you for very interesting posts.

Well, gee, let's see now what's not to like about the Beatles and Boobs posted on this thread by chris?

Perhaps it is the fact that unless the reader makes their way through my explanation for chris's post, which I doubt played any part in Chris's motivation, for posting his post about the Beatles and Boobs, both topics are very much off topic.
