Blizzard:

Blizzard: At twelve noon on that day I shall loot the City of San Francisco. Blizzard: Your ten thousand foreign malcontents will filter into the city in small detachments. Blizzard: The signal will be an explosion. Blizzard: By fire and riots I shall draw the police and military into the suburbs. Blizzard: The heart of the city will be left defenseless - ours to loot at will. Blizzard: And then we shall vanish with our treasure.
