    Fupping Tom Bombadil I tells ye!

    "Gandalf calls Tom Bombadil the eldest being in existence; this is evidenced by his Sindarin name Iarwain Ben-adar (Eldest and Fatherless). Dwarves called him Forn (Scandinavian, meaning "Ancient" or "Belonging to the distant past"; in Icelandic it can also mean that he has magical abilities), Men Orald (compare to German: uralt, original old, eldest). All these names apparently mean "Eldest". Treebeard calls himself the eldest living being of Middle-earth and says that he was there before anyone else. However, Tolkien remarked in another context: "Treebeard is a character in my story, not me; and though he has a great memory and some earthy wisdom, he is not one of the Wise, and there is quite a lot he does not know or understand."

    Sounds to me like ole Tom was considered wise (illuminatted?).
    Possibly an agent of the very city attacked.
    I believe the terrorists in the Mordor attack were aided at some point by Tom.

    Further research has brought me to a picture that was possibly taken
    during that incident.
    Hobbits being framed? WTF not even a mug shot?
