Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Seven

The Washington Times ^ | 4-26-04 | Bill Gertz

"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

...reconsider for the sake of continued "good relations" with the Arab world.

A not-so thinly veiled threat. The world better wake up and stand up to these people now.

It's the old bully analogy again. The only way to stop them is to stand up and fight back early on. Once they see you flinch, the bullying intensifies and it gets harder and harder to fight back ...and before you know it, you're listening to the call-to-prayer over loudspeakers.

>> Maybe if we'd take the darned gloves off and quit playing politically correct <<

Here's my idea: we make a list of cities like Damascus that are terrorist nests. We lock a Titan C4 onto each of these target cities. We then let EVERYONE know that another attack on US soil will cause the destruction of each and every one of theses cities IMMEDIATELY.

It's a very simple plan: You hit us, we'll hit you back HARDER.

A poster at Jihad watch- "Hugh"- has made excellent comments about how to deal with radical muslims in Western countries. Unfortunately, the comment section does not copy, or I would post his informed suggestions here.

[jerseygirl]

It was an eye-opener. How did you like the part about how to judge whether someone is "kuffar" (sp?) or not?

[Oorang]

Thanks for that update WCG. Please keep us posted. I have family in Temecula and Corona and have not been able to reach them. I hope you are not in Riverside Co.

[Oorang]

Does this mean he was posting from Philadelphia, PA., or Bonn, Germany, or neither?

[jerseygirl]

Dear AP- Didn't we- awhile back- adopt this posture? I recall something about the US stating that if we were hit with WMD, we would immediately retaliate- no questions asked.

I hate to say this, but the more I learn about militant islam and its obsession with destroying the United States, the more I lean toward shutting down all mosques in our country and moving all US muslims into a secure area. (I imagine we would find some very interesting information within the mosques- if not weapons.)

Why is our media downplaying the various acts of sabotage? If more people knew what was going on, there would be that many more "eyes" to keep watch over our communities.

We seem to be getting a double message.

Message A: "Islam is a religion of peace;" "embrace diversity" versus

Message B: "We are at war;" "be vigilant as islamic terrorists want to destroy the US using weapons of mass destruction."

[jerseygirl]

Oorang- I noticed that Philly info, as well. It reminded me of all the ME types who hung around the internet cafes in Philly- specifically, the one fellow I got to know, who "disappeared" after that initial warning.

That was the same day that freeperfrom NJ posted that the NY "fruit vendor" had "disappeared" as well.

This snip from your article reveals that Sasser worm definitely has the potential of affecting security:

"Among its victims are banks, travel-booking systems, European Commission offices and Britain's 19 Coastguard stations.

"We've had to go back to plotting on paper charts rather than using the computer mapping system," said a Maritime and Coastguard spokeswoman. But search and rescue operations have not been affected."

>> Didn't we- awhile back- adopt this posture? <<

Your right. We did. I get the feeling though that it's another empty threat from the 'paper tiger'. I don't think our enemies believe we'll do it. In fact, I don't believe we'll do it.

I like your idea about rounding up all the muslims and then searching the mosques. You never know. We just might find some of those missing suitcase nukes and some really good intel.

News alert on TV showing some Spokane, Washington streets closed when detectives doing an auto-theft ring search found two sticks of dynamite in a shed in a residential area. Quantity is not great, but definitely potential to do damage.

[PrivateIdaho]

This from local news:

BREAKING NEWS: DYNAMITE FOUND IN APARTMENT
KREM 2 News is following breaking news in north Spokane. Spokane Police have told KREM 2 News they are closing Crestline near Queen Avenue because of dynamite found in an apartment near there. The Washington State Patrol was executing a search warrant at that apartment when they found several sticks of dynamite. Police have evacuated the two apartments on either side of the one found with the dynamite. Crestline will be closed until the bomb squad removes the dynamite.

Ok, how did you get it that great...I have been playing around with it and can't get all the circles, etc. that you did. Can you give me the steps? Usually I can figure these things out, but I'm feeling very foolish...

Thanks!

I've got friends in Aguanga that just got evacuated and told they don't have much time to get out, so I was going to try and see what I could see up there.

It's amazing all the ash down here again...don't know if Kyla's getting it further south too? It's just like it's all being pulled back up again...plus probably some new stuff.

Thanks for keeping us posted!

Here's more information about NPRC, including how to apply if interested.

(The listed cities All had strategic/economic/symbolic value. My paranoid guess is that there is information suggesting that these cities may well be on the AQ hit list.)

This will make you sick, the world needs to read this:

The Psychoanalytic Roots of Islamic Terrorism
FPM ^ | 5/3/04 | Phyllis Chesler

...what kind of culture produces human bombs, glorifies mass murderers, and supports humiliation-based revenge?

...counter-terrorism expert Yoram Schweitzer, describe barbarous family and clan dynamics in which children, both boys and girls, are routinely orally and anally raped by male relatives; infant males are sometimes sadistically over-stimulated by being masturbated; boys between the ages of 7-12 are publicly and traumatically circumcised; many girls are clitoridectomized; and women are seen as the source of all shame and dishonor and treated accordingly: very, very badly.

"The little girl lives her life under a communal death threat--the honor killing."

...Widespread child sexual abuse leads to paranoid, highly traumatized, and revenge-seeking adults.

...a polygamous, patriarchal culture also leads to an infernal, fraternal competition for paternal favor and inheritance. It is brother against brother, full brothers against half-brothers, full and half brothers against first cousins--and thus, can entire families and clans remain locked in revenge-fueled mortal combat for generations.
Clearly, only evolution of democracy and the elevation of women can begin to change such dynamics.

"It is a strange society. Homosexuality is forbidden but if you're the penetrator, not the penetrated, it's okay."

...teenage boys prey upon younger children; older male relatives prey upon pre-adolescent and adolescent boys and girls. They do not have intercourse with the girls since this would render them un-marriageable and bring shame upon their families. I heard many stories in both Afghanistan and Iran about the male preference for anal sex, even within marriage, either as a form of birth control or as a preferred homosexual practice.

The male sexual abuse of female children exists everywhere; it is one of the main means of traumatizing and shaming women into obedience and rendering them incapable of resistance or rebellion. However, the male sexual abuse of male children--denied, never admitted--may work differently and may turn boys into predatory, pedophilic men. Also, among Arabs and Muslims, revenge killings are uniquely prevalent.

The trail ended in Germany. The actual referer or proxy being used by the poster may be located in Germany, but this is not certain. EOM could be using the referer from anywhere on the planet that has Internet access. Basically it means he was covering his tracks. Sadly we won't be seeing anymore posts at CNV2 unless someone watches the page 24/7 and grabs them before they are removed. The board may now be configured to refuse any posts containing the text "EOM". Hey, I thinks I'll try a test right now and see how long it lasts. They will probably ban my IP. ;)

Kitty cats are no match for Rottweilers. No wonder you had to yell. We live on acreage and I find it incredible people let their large dogs run free 24/7. On occasion I take my Mealy Amazon parrot outside on my shoulder. Any dogs approaching without owners in tow, means I will protect my bird (and myself) by whatever means necessary.

[LayoutGuru2]

Hmmm... It went through. How long will it stay?
