Yep. If it was a real attack, they can't do it now... or they have HUGE BALLS.
But eh... Alex Jones predicted 911 and even called the White House in July 2001.

I means that it is entertaining, but if you are paranoid than it will be more than entertainment because you will perseverate and may start thread on ATS about how Operation Blackjack has a secret message . Jeeze! Does plucky need to explain everything around here!?

It's more fun this way.
US threat levels:

* For all domestic and international flights, the U.S. threat level is High, or Orange.
"This summer, President Obama is calling on all of us – young and old, from every background, all across this country – to participate in our nation’s recovery and renewal by serving in our communities. From June 22 to September 11, United We Serve will begin to engage Americans from coast to coast in addressing community needs in education, health, energy and the environment, and community renewal."
"The Illuminati were finally beset by both internal and external disorders, for Weishaupt found fault with some of Knigge's ritualistic work and peremptorily ordered it changed, whereupon, Knigge became disgusted and resigned in 1784. The Jesuits had fought it from the first and eventually all priests became its active enemies and raised so much opposition that the Elector of Bavaria supressed the Order by edict, June 22, 1784, many Illuminati being imprisoned and some, including Weishaupt, being forced to flee the country. Though the first edict had been obeyed, it was repeated in March and August, 1785. Not only Illuminism, but Freemasonry was exterminated in Bavaria and neither ever recovered its former position. The Illuminati seem to have completely disappeared everywhere by the end of the 18th century."
- Henry Wilson Coil, Coil's Masonic Encyclopedia, 1961
September 11 to june 22 = 9 months 11 days

If not a warning, then perhaps it is a research project, as to how well information spreads across the net - with all the tracking stats involved it will not be difficult for observers to follow a single IP user's hopping to various sites, and indicate the levels of persistence present in that user's attempts to discover more info.
The hysteria has been whipped up by the governments of the West with their constant drumbeats of doom: doom from terrorism, doom from global warming, doom from pandemic viruses. The bad guys are going to get us with their germs, their chemicals, their carbon emissions and their dirty bombs. Forget that we've debauched your pensions, your currencies and your financial futures, you must sacrifice your remaining civil liberties and your final shreds of dignity so that we can save you. Is it any wonder that so many Americans believe in the imminence of the Second Coming, the Day of Judgement and that their government is stockpiling plastic coffins and planning to herd the populace into concentration camps? Thanks to the web and to our increasingly authoritarian governments, doom is no longer the preserve of the Branch Davidians or the Rapturists. It has gone mainstream and infected millions of middle class citizens. Many apparently sane people are preparing three-month food stockpiles in their larders. Applications for firearms licenses are up. The talk in the suburbs is of the coming die off. This is not just an age-old fear: it is a modern reaction to the mess that we now find ourselves in and the messages we are being fed by our leaders. Our war- and austerity-scarred grandparents and great grandparents - the ones who came up with Keep Calm and Carry On - would be ashamed of us.

I have thoroughly enjoyed his work, it remains to be seen if he is connected with TPTB in a way to give us "fair warning", of impending doom. My opinion is that he is a pretty smart individual, and has pointed out, and used our obsession with doom to most likely have a good laugh.

Something interesting that was briefly touched upon but not given enough thought was the two posters on the wall here. The one on the left has an Egyptian statue type figure and the words under are Annuit Coeptis (just like on the pyramid seal on the back of the dollar). The poster on the right is a pentagon with the phrase Majic 12 under it.
BTW, this is my first post here, i have read threads here for years. this is the first one that really got me going so i had to join to post. Hello ATS!

A U.S. Department of Homeland Security user (host: bcp3.cbp.dhs.gov, ip: 63.167.255.153) conducted the following Google search: operation blackjack.
The DHS user visited Operation Blackjack: The Story of Terrorist Nuclear Attacks on Major Western Cities. Twice.
I’ve avoided following the Blackjack/Jackblack developments too closely on here because I’m pretty sure that the point is to study the people who are paying attention to it. And yes, I’m up to speed on all the latest nonsense. There’s no need to send me any more story suggestions or emails about it, UNLESS you know who is behind it.
Next week, we have record U.S. Treasury debt offerings that might not go so well. There’s also Ardent Sentry 2009 underway now, and running into next week. And… Wait for it: The Summer/Winter solstice.
The fact that these events play out at the same time as the Blackjack/Jackblack game/viral marketing/social experiment is probably just a coincidence. In fact, I wasn’t planning on mentioning this at all because whoever is behind the Blackjack/Jackblack thing is probably getting off on watching all the activity on the message boards.
But then Boeing took a look.
And now DHS is sniffing around.
Personally, I don’t think it’s viral marketing. I can’t imagine that there are more than a couple of thousand people on the planet even paying attention to this ridiculous stunt. I also seriously doubt that it has anything to do with any sort of pre-attack planning. I mean, come on you guys, snap out of it… My best guess is that it’s a sociology project and that the topics involved with it finally attracted the attention of DHS and others.
Who’s behind it? I have no idea, but I bet DHS is going to find out.
