Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

First of all, I will pick any question I choose. Telling me to pick carefully almost sounds threatening. What do you have to say about this?

EMAILING SADDAM:

Dear Saddam, How Can I Help?

On the afternoon of July 17, a self-proclaimed expert in biochemistry composed an e-mail message to Saddam Hussein.

The message, sent from an MSN Hotmail account on a computer in China, recommended the use of methyl bromide, an agricultural pesticide, as an effective chemical weapon against the U.S. Army.

"For weapon use, have function: no color, no smell, will let person dead in a few second," wrote the e-mail's author, who provided the phone number and address of a distributor in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from which the toxic chemical could be purchased "in cylinder or in can."
The chilling electronic missive was among hundreds evidently sent to Iraq's president last summer from people around the world.

As America veers toward confrontation with Iraq, these e-mail messages provide a raw, uncensored view of global opinion -- and of the potential challenges awaiting U.S. efforts to disarm or overthrow Saddam, Iraq's leader since 1979.

It's not clear whether Saddam uses e-mail or even knows how to operate a personal computer. But scores of people write to him each week at press@uruklink.net, the e-mail address listed on the official homepage of the Iraqi presidency since at least October 2000.

Messages sent to the account, Iraq's version of president@whitehouse.gov, run the gamut from fawning solicitations for autographed photos and media interviews to obscene death threats.

The e-mails sent to press@uruklink.net were obtained earlier this month by first clicking on a link labeled "Check your e-mail in Uruk" on the homepage of Iraq's state-controlled ISP, Uruklink.net, then guessing the login name and password -- both of which were the same five-letter word.

The version of webmail software used by the Iraqi ISP is known to have several security holes -- but the patches available for them do not appear to have been applied.
An e-mail sent last week to uruk@uruklink.net, the contact address on the ISP's home page, was returned as undeliverable. An error message said the mailbox had exceeded its allowed capacity.
Among the hundreds of messages marked as unread in Saddam's inbox were several junk e-mails and messages infected with computer viruses. Numerous e-mails -- including some from Americans -- offered advice and assistance to Saddam.

Consider, for example, a flurry of messages apparently sent to Saddam by an employee of a Saudi Arabian oil company in July and August. The e-mails contained cryptic reports in broken English about the location of U.S. oil pipelines, as well as warnings about the movement of submarines, aircraft and other military equipment and personnel in the Middle East.

"I will try to give you (An Sha Allah) a good way to protect your Muslims," said the message. (The phrase In sha' Allah, from the Quran, means "God willing.")
Meanwhile, an Internet user from Washington state, who conceded that he would "probably end up on some FBI watch list for writing this," told Saddam in an e-mail dated Aug. 1 that he opposed military action against Iraq.
The author of the message advised Saddam to be diligent "with regards to your own personal security. The CIA is notoriously crafty and extremely adept at overthrowing governments and their respective leaders."
In another message, a resident of Vienna, Austria, told Saddam in a July 27 message that Americans are "arrogant," and that should the United States attack Iraq, "you need only send a ticket and I will come to Iraq to fight the Americans. I am a good shot, and I am serious about my offer."

Saddam's inbox also contained several solicitations from American companies hoping to do business with Iraq -- despite U.S. prohibitions and United Nations trade sanctions.

On Aug. 16, the CEO of a California wireless technology-maker e-mailed Saddam to request a meeting. According to the CEO's message, the two could discuss "technology improvements and exporting of rich technology abroad."
In a press release dated Sept. 13, the company said it has developed "4G" wireless technology capable of being used "as a weapon to ignite large sections of the atmosphere and incinerate all living creatures within its pre-selected coordinates." The press release also called for the resignation of President Bush.

In a telephone interview, the CEO said he attempted to contact Saddam to obtain permission to place a wireless communications antenna in Iraq. "No way would we ever give the weapon-of-mass-destruction technology to Mr. Hussein," the executive said.

On Aug. 14, the proprietor of a Las Vegas company e-mailed Saddam "looking for someone to talk to about selling my fire retardant for the army over there. We have a great product for the army."

The business owner replied to an e-mailed interview request, and was informed how his message had been read. The man confirmed it had been sent from his address, but that it had been a joke by a friend. He also stressed that he would never sell products to Iraq.

Joke or not, such deals with Iraq are legally risky -- if not outright illegal.

A 1990 U.S. executive order prohibits transactions between American companies and Iraq, according to Joseph Wilson, former deputy chief of the U.S. Embassy in Iraq and an adjunct scholar with the Middle East Institute. The U.N. sanctions imposed in the wake of Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait further restrict trade of "militarily useful items" with Iraq, Wilson said.

An excerpt from a U.N. document known as the Goods Review List (PDF) containing a list of chemicals, biological agents and other prohibited items was repeatedly e-mailed to the Iraqi president's account from several Uruklink users over a one-week period in mid-August. A file attached to the messages was infected with what appeared to be a variant of the Yaha computer worm.

The presence of strict U.N. controls didn't stop the chairman of one London company from e-mailing Saddam on Aug. 9 with an offer to mediate Iraq's purchase of unspecified products from western Europe.

"Please consider this letter as secret ... I ensure you absolute secrecy," the e-mail stated.

A Buenos Aires businessman repeatedly e-mailed Saddam in early August offering technology "stolen for the National Transportation Safety Board of United States" and designed to "enlarge the security of flight in helicopters."
According to the author of the message, the technology was worth $40 million.

International interest in e-mailing Saddam was apparently piqued in October 2001, when Iraq's leader sent a long-winded personal response to a message from Chris Love, a Pennsylvania resident who had pleaded with Saddam to seek peace with the United States.

Saddam's 3,300-word message, which included the first detailed condolences by Iraq's leader following the Sept. 11 attacks, garnered considerable media coverage. Love said in an interview that he was even forced to stop answering his phone and to disable his e-mail account after receiving a barrage of interview requests.

According to Wilson, Iraq has a "well-oiled propaganda machine" and messages like Love's "kind of play into Saddam's hands. He likes nothing more than to be able to parade some misguided people as proof that Americans don't support their government."

Nine months after Sept. 11, however, as President Bush began turning up the heat on Iraq, Americans also wrote to criticize Iraq's ruler.

A man who identified himself as a former U.S. paratrooper and Persian Gulf War veteran e-mailed on June 25 that he regretted that "a political solution decision was made before my friends and I had a chance to completely wipe your cartoon character of a leader off the face of this earth."

One AOL user sent Saddam a one-word message: "Imminent." Attached to the Aug. 6 e-mail was a photograph of an atomic mushroom cloud.

An Internet user from London chided Saddam for hoarding Iraq's oil wealth for himself while the country's citizens die of starvation. "You really are a most cynical regime," wrote the author of the e-mail, which was dated Aug. 10.
Comments about Iraq's oil resources figured into several of the messages. An Australian resident suggested in July that Saddam cut off oil to neighboring Turkey, which the message's author said was America's No. 2 ally after Israel. The e-mail said Iraq could also tighten the screws on Turkey "if they cooperate with America" by threatening to use biological and chemicals weapons on Turkey.

Though some analysts say Iraq's U.N.-mandated Persian Gulf War reparation payments -- which currently stand at more than $43 billion -- have mortgaged the future of Iraq's economy, a financial services firm in Canada was apparently still hopeful.

In a July 1 e-mail addressed to "Iraqi Presidency," the chairman of the company proposed a "future relationship" with Iraq.

The company, located in Montreal, specializes in "the movement and leveraging of financial instruments" as well as "conversion of currencies" and "offshore activities," according to the e-mail.
One pragmatic AOL user urged Saddam on July 28 to cooperate fully with U.N. inspectors as the best way to avoid war.

"Please allow the weapons inspectors into your country so that the illegitimate leader of my country, the U.S.A., who perpetrated a coup and stole the election, will not have an excuse to attack your country. If you would do that it would take away his power and weaken him and make you look like the bigger man," she wrote.

Another Internet user, who identified himself as a 20-year-old Mormon from Utah, wrote that he prayed for the day when Iraqis have plentiful food, medicine, clothing and other necessities.

But the author of a July 19 message said he was frustrated about his inability to help bring about such changes.
"To me it is all politics. Wars and disputes are not about right and wrong, nor are they about good versus evil, but they are about power," he wrote.

And this:

A LETTER TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL:

http://ww1.prweb.com/releases/2002/9/prweb45456.php

Gaiacomm: Freedom of Speech
Gaiacomm would like the letter to israel published as a way to express it views and opinions based on its talks about technology exchange and would like to excersise its freedom of speech and expression.

Gaiacomm: A Letter to the State of Israel
September 1, 2002 -- Shalom: Some time ago in Judea there were great wars fought to overthrow great kings for whatever reason at the time. Some were from divine influence and others from ignorance and guilt. During some of these great wars was a weapon of mass destruction used by the Judeans to fight off and scare the enemy at large. It was called the "Ark of the Covenant".

Now in the present Judea/Israel is again faced with the same wars against the state accept this time Israel will face total destruction from within or from outside her borders.
We are a little known group of scientists here in the United States that recognizes Israel's fate from having access to information that is only at the highest levels of government because Americans cannot keep their mouths shut and love to talk and so we listen and learn.

We have allowed ourselves to be at the bottom of the scientific barrel of ideas and invention to work in peace. Now we have surfaced with a technology base that is far superior in principle and in physical attributes.
In our publication titled: Project Nemo we attempt to disclose a technology that can in theory and in principle function and function well.

We are attempting to offer this technology in exchange for allowing us to develop and deploy this technology in its full form. Its form is a global wireless communications System and a weapons system technology that incinerates its opponents from a distance.

The Bush Administration has had time to review and comment on it, but as usual, the USA does not take war and innovation seriously anymore. Just view the USA scandal front and corporate downfalls.

As for the War on Terrorism, we have two solutions, one technology the other thru effective truth negotiations.
This technology is being scanned and evaluated by scientists from China, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Palestine, Syria, Saudi Arabia and other countries that have and have not Israel's best interest in mind.

To protect the intellectual properties of our technology we take great care in not disclosing key components so not to give up certain control and technology rights to others to insight competition.

It is imperative that your Ministers of Defense and Internal Security read and study the corporate website at www.gaiacomm.org especially paying attention to Project Nemo.

I know with great confidence that this technology functions in all its capacities from a scientific level. Quantum Electromagnetism is its underlying principle of function. The Governing Dynamics have long been discovered and defined.

Ask yourself this question, What if this technology works as Judah says and we have it or what if someone else gets it? Moreover, if it does not then, we can move on to the next.

Remember you cannot miss the smallest details and usually it is the overlooked or missed details that allow the opponent to overcome and destroy the other.

Case in point the suicide bombers that cause unrest all over town. Do you have everyone take their clothes off and run the streets naked? I think not.

They will continue to bomb Israel each day until Israel demonstrates to the United Nations that it has a technology of mass destruction that rivals and surpasses even nuclear weapons and even make the United States step back and take notice.

Sometimes more than not it is the smallest of creatures that change history. Did anyone expect Hitler to rise to power?

We are not terrorists but scientists attempting to use our technology for peace but if backed into a corner willing to use it to whatever means to get our point across.
Please this one time step outside the box and do something that will make a difference.

The second part of this terrorism is the true art of negotiations, which to this point no one anywhere seems to have this gift to negotiate. Before you smile you might want to seriously consider us in solving that problem as well.

As I see it, Israel has only two choices, one continues on this road to destruction and unrest or considers a second chance with Gaiacomm.

Allow Gaiacomm to build and deploy Project Nemo to not only help fight terrorism but keep it at arms distance thus allowing jobs and other technology's to be developed around Gaiacomm's 4G technology.

Israel deserves to be remembered for greatness not pain and destruction.
Awaiting an honest reply.

Dr. Judah Ben-Hur
Replace The US Government!
Thu Jul 24 20:19:27 2003
67.123.40.38

Strange times are those in which we live when old and young are taught in falsehoods school. And the one man that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and a fool”
Plato

And those who perform jihad for US, We shall certainly guide them in our ways, and God is surely with the doers of good. (Quran XXXIX; 69) You have returned from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad. (Hadith)

To all who read and understand:

It is time to take the next step in understanding. After careful and meticulous research, that includes access to files and data that are guarded by the United States Government and its showroom dummies. I have uncovered information that has been written about, talked about, read about, and in many cases silenced to protect and to confuse those who wish to uncover its not so guarded secrets.

Careful and planned exposure of this information seems to be the only way to begin the process of enlightenment of not just the American people but all peoples of this tiny planet that are considered the “Common Man/Women”.

We cannot blame the “United States Government” for our woes, but ourselves for allowing our own Constitution to manipulate and control not just us but others in its path towards imperial rule, which by the way was why some people left England to come to the Americas to rid themselves of that tyranny.

True Democracy does not impede growth or dominate others. It was established to be a beacon for those who wish to call on its existence and only that. We do not have the right to impose Democracy on nations or peoples who do not truly ask for it.

The United States in its own rights is a terrorist country with Bin-Laden’s and others like him who are imposing pseudo democratic policies and through crafty methods controlling without regard to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! Regime change within the United States should be seriously considered.

Fact: The United States has in its possession weapons of mass destruction, so why does not the United Nations impose restrictions against the United States?

Fear is the reason why no nation or individual will want to go up against this Goliath! Well I have a small stone, I know where to throw it, and if I have to by myself so be it.

Fact: Thomas Jefferson who co-authored the now infamous doctrine of democracy himself was an advocate of slaves.

Hypocrisy runs thru the veins of the elite American people who control the destinies and lives of so many people.

What we all must learn is that the power in change is in the people that make up the majority of the civilized and so called uncivilized world.

What gives this small group of people their control over us is the fact that they know we all will not collectively give up our lives to get back control of the government and rid ourselves of the self-serving politians and business executives that control what we eat, where we sleep, who to like and not like, what to read, what to write, how to dress, how and who to love, who to hate, what race is superior, who gets education, who not, where to travel, who lives, who dies, who eats, who does not eat, who gets elected in office, who does not get elected, who is popular and who is not, who is “in” who is not, what clothes to wear, what not, what movie or music star is in, which one is not, who to disrespect who to not, who to be prejudice to and who to not, what freedoms we have and have not, who gets destroyed, who not, who must accept the “way” and who not, who goes to prison, and who not, and the list goes on into infinity.

Remember that in the Constitution it does allow for bloodless regime change within the government as long as we stand together and collectively vote for our freedoms back.

Rid ourselves of the electoral college and other manipulative organizations that are self serving their own agendas at the expense, hard work and lives of all so many innocent and misguided people that are here within the borders of despair.

The French Government should formally request that the Statue of Liberty be returned to France. We all know what it was for.

The United States has over many years systematically infiltrated other Nations to “weed” out the non-conformers to the so-called Democratic process and replace those with the showroom dummies of democracy.

Granted, the United States has some freedom of movement for its people but notthe way it was originally intended. Look at Africa, South America, and parts of Europe, Asia and other nations that are sucking the tit of the cow with sour milk.

Collectively We the People of the World should stand up and be counted on to rid ourselves of individuals that are ignorant of their own ignorance and replace this Constitution with one that includes all religions, all peoples, all races, all nations and all who feel left out and want to be what they want to be without the constraints of prejudice and restrictive law. Not to run lawless but have the right to be in individual and collectively correct this turmoil we are in.

The Earth is trying to warn us that we are spinning out of control and that we need to correct ourselves soon or the earth will rid itself of this infection and parasite called Mankind that is slowly destroying its primary intent to allow its inhabitants the freedom to live be fruitful and multiply to the extent of finding a way to leave this planet and journey to others and spread some sort of reason rather than an infectious spore.

I am a Physicist/Patriot that through years of being silent and almost forgotten it is time that I and others like me use our intellect and technology to stand up against a oppressor and rid ourselves of this infection. We are a Legion of many who only wants to live a life of peace and respect for all living things and have considerations for those who are different and look for ways to truly accommodate those who are slow in understanding.

We do not need your help just your patience and understanding of what we are about.

We are Americas best kept secret that just got out of the “Keep”.

Hey buddy -

Curious what you have to say about this:
