Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

"And I also wonder if TB2000 ever posts information that they get from other sites into there private section."

Of course they do. There are few "sanctimonious" members over there who feel that what they post is theirs only and what you post is also theirs only. But, the majority of the posters over there are good people. I posted about Mubarak's rumored death and the moderator first added "Unfounded Rumor" to the title. Anyone who read the post would have known it was rumor, but I pointed out it was not unfounded. So the moderator deleted his first edit and instead put "He's Alive" at the end of the title to my post. Go figure.

I guess I should clarify something. I personaly appreciate those who post and say...There was a big flash and bang near my house last night. I don't even mind a occasional and quick mention of the Aussie Bloke thing..(Like once a week). But I agree that we are not here to debate every facit of such a "Bloke". Then we look really tin foily. Same thing goes for putting up everyones Prophecy predictions. Where does that end and what could possibly be made of it.

I really don't think anyone has lost their focus here. It has been very slow the last few days with little information or news directly related to the terrorists to post. The only alternative would be to sit idly and stare at our monitors and wait for something to hit the news wires.
The worst thing, and I really mean the worst thing we can do is to begin to take ourselves too seriously. In saying that, I am not demeaning everyone's intentions and efforts, but pride goeth before the fall.
As far as Labyrinthos' brief interruption...I have to say that I have seen him do this on more than one occasion (we all have), without ever offering much in the way of information. He seems to show up sporadically with a beef about something, soon Iron Eagle shows up, they stir the pot, then leave. What's the point?

GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT INTELLIGENCE BRIEF

Americans leaving Saudi Arabia in droves

Thousands of workers fleeing stepped-up kidnappings by al-Qaida

U.S. nationals in Saudi Arabia have become a priority target of al-Qaida, reports intelligence newsletter Geostrategy-Direct. Western diplomatic sources said al-Qaida has focused on attacking and abducting Americans in Saudi Arabia more so than other Western nationals. The sources said al-Qaida has targeted Americans in Riyadh to spark a massive flight among the more than 25,000 U.S. nationals in the kingdom.(SNIP)

They have stated several times that they will interrupt our oil supply as one of their strategies in bringing us down. That may be part of the reason we have 10 carrier groups out.

I interpret this post as having a dual purpose.

I believe it is referring to events both in SA and the US.

Stay safe and vigilant!!!

S. Korea to pick new capital on July 1

  SEOUL, June 17 (Xinhuanet) -- South Korea will choose the final candidate site for its new administrative capital on July 1, when it is scheduled to announce the results of a week-long screening, reported the South Korean news agency Yonhap on Thursday.

    "In the afternoon of July 1, we will hold the fourth meeting and announce the review results of the four candidate sites after the meeting," Kim An-jae, a co-chairman of the Presidential Committee on Administrative Capital Relocation, was quoted by Yonhap as saying.

    On Tuesday, South Korea unveiled four candidate sites for its new administrative capital: the Eumseong-Jincheon area in North Chungcheong Province and Cheonan, the Yeongi-Gongju region and the Gongju-Nonsan area in South Chungcheong Province, all located in the central part of the country.

    The envisaged capital would have a population of around 500,000 and house 85 key administrative, legislative and judiciary bodies.

    South Koreans are split over capital relocation, which Roh said would help decentralize the Seoul metropolitan area and promote more balanced regional development.

    In late December, the legislature passed a special law on capital relocation, clearing the way for the government to start the project. Enditem

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520

This information is current as of today, Thu Jun 17 2004 18:17:36 GMT-0700.

Saudi Arabia

June 17, 2004

This Travel Warning is being updated to include recent targeted attacks against American citizens, resulting in deaths, injuries and a kidnapping, and to remind American citizens of the continuing serious threat to their safety while in Saudi Arabia . This Travel Warning supersedes that of April 15, 2004 .

The Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens to defer travel to Saudi Arabia . Private American citizens currently in Saudi Arabia are strongly urged to depart. On April 14, 2004, due to security concerns, the Department of State ordered the departure of family members and non-emergency employees of the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Saudi Arabia .

U.S. citizens are reminded of the potential for further terrorist actions against U.S. citizens abroad, including in the Persian Gulf region. U.S. citizens who travel to, or remain in, Saudi Arabia despite this Travel Warning should register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh or at the Consulates in Jeddah and Dhahran, and enroll in the warden system (emergency alert network) to obtain updated information on travel and security in Saudi Arabia . Warden messages can be found on the U.S. Embassy Riyadh website: http://usembassy.state.gov/riyadh/.

The U.S. Government continues to receive credible information indicating that extremists are planning further attacks against U.S. and Western interests. Terrorists have taken at least one American citizen hostage and have recently killed others in shooting attacks. Terrorists also attacked residential housing compounds using vehicle bombs in 2003 and 2004, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries, including to American citizens. Credible information indicates that terrorists continue to target residential compounds in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Riyadh area, but also compounds throughout the country. Recent incidents indicate that American citizens residing in private residences are also being specifically targeted.

From time to time, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Saudi Arabia may restrict the travel of official Americans or suspend public services for security reasons. In those instances, the Embassy and Consulates will keep the local American citizen community apprised through the Warden System and make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. The U.S. Mission in Saudi Arabia continues to prohibit its American employees and their dependents from traveling to residential compounds in the Riyadh area from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

As the Department continues to develop information on any potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its Consular Information Program documents, available on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. U.S. travelers can also get up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 in the U.S. or Canada or on a regular toll line at 1-317-472-2328.

U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Saudi Arabia, the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, and Middle East and North Africa Public Announcement at http://travel.state.gov.

I Realize that not everyone over there is like that. Obviously -since some of you are here and are not like that at all. But the moderators are the ones who determine the direct the boards go in over there. And there must be plenty who agree with the moderators or else the mods would have a very difficult time. Hench...as a group...the mods define the over all appearance of the group.

"Is there any credible evidence of actual, major crustal poleshifts (from a scientific source)? Whereas magnetic shifts are a matter of record and well documented, I can't find anything reliable on crustal shifts apart from the usual 'zeta type' nonsense.

There is / are no scientific sources for a physical change in the rotational poles, if that is what you are talking about. A lot of interest in gathering on magnetic pole flips, but that is different from crustal (tectonic) shifts.

I just mostly go past things I don't want to read...Although it does take a lot of time to catch up. My major concern is that it does get a little out there sometimes and that chases some of the fact finding posters away. Some very good posters at that. I don't like that. But I guess there is not much I can do about it. Just mentioning it usually gets a two page response...and I don't have time to argue about it indefinitely. I really don't want to jump on the emotional roller coaster again. Whatever happens happens. But everyone should keep in mind that the quality of information here is determined by what we post, and who remains around to post.

To: null and void

"Launching a missile from a couple hundred miles out from a ship would be easy to do."

I'm not sure that is too viable a method. A warhead big enough to to deliver a high explosive or a WMD (let's call it a nuke and not a binary chemical warhead--no spin to shatter dividers) is also big enough to produce an almost instantaneous "signature" sure to be picked up by either AWACS or a satellite or perhaps NORAD. You list the range as a couple of hundred miles. That would make it possible for the weapon to be intercepted a number of ways.

I think the Jihadists need a "sure thing" this time. They cannot risk detection or interception. Such would make 911 look too much like a fluke or a lucky sucker punch against an unsuspecting and sleeping giant. A launch from a couple of hundred miles wouldn't require a GPS. There would be internal guidance systems. It'd have to be a very sophisticated weapon. You're not talking about a simple shoulder fired STINGER that will lock-on to the heat signature of it's target. Those have a limited range and a small payload.
