Ground Zero retrieved part of a broadcast of a speech that was delivered by President Bush on Wednesday February 11th, 2004. The speech dealt with proliferation of unconventional weapons and harsh words for would be terrorists that would threaten the United States with Suicide bombings and murderous activities. During the broadcast the president declared “What has changed in the 21st century, is that in the hands of terrorists weapons of mass destruction would be a first resort, the preferred means to further their ideology of suicide and random murder.” During the broadcast networks received a surprise simulcast of a succession of tones in a number pattern. Spaced differently and in number sequences. These tones were similar to those that Ground Zero listeners have heard on our “Number Station” shows. The most intriguing part of the broadcast was the placement and volume of the tones during certain parts of the speech.

The speech came as Bush faces criticism because no prohibited unconventional weapons have been found in Iraq. The threat of such weapons was the administration’s justification for going to war.

Bush focused on two sources of the spread of weapons of mass destruction — so-called “rogue nations” and black market operatives motivated by greed, or fanaticism or both. He hinted at the possibility that dirty bombs and other WMD’s could be used or would be used in this country by suicide bombers similar to those in Israel.
