The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Yep, and back on 8/5/1973, they attacked the airport in Athens. Going back to 8/5/1071, they captured the Roman emperor and "advanced through Europe."

See Post # 856 by milkncookies for an interesting list of things that happened on August 5ths.

Oh, and Ramzi Yousef's trial began on August 5, 1997, too.

I would love to listen to Jayna, is there a link to C2C, can I listen to it here or must it be on the net?

The link over at IH works if you click on it, but it won't work if you copy/paste since the displayed text is truncated. Looks to be a harmless Windows Media Video - Just some friendly Hamas dudes making some declaration and getting ready to demonstrate their model rocketry skills. I have no idea what they are saying.

What info is old? I don't get the point you are making?
Have you read the book? The book is new and they weren't stopped despite the proof and the proof is refutable and very relevant with what is going on today.

The connections of the ME's to OKC and white supremacists is fact, McVeigh was a sympathizer, may as an agent, possibly as a white supremacist. Terry was an absolute part of this with his connections to the Phillipine's terrorists.

Jayna, who seems to be a Freeper, book published by WND, who only publishes what truth needs to be revealed, it is all fascinating of the FBI complicity and coverup and I hope I get to see this revealed by the lousy "liberal media"

Have only 15 minutes on this computer, but I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement and support regarding my ankle injury. It hurts terribly- but every time I start feelng sorry for myself- I picture a young soldier coming home from Iraq- without his/her foot-or worsel I am very grateful for what I do have.


Will get back on tomorrow and try to catch up with everyone. Son took some pictures of NYC from CT sude of Long Island sound----for posterity.

[Unknowing]

Sorry to hear about your ankle injury, jerseygirl. Give it six weeks and you'll knit, I trust.

[Velveeta]

I'm sure a translation will be coming along shortly.

Thanks for the workable link.

"OK OFF TOPIC now: What would happen if somebody signed onto FR as a new user and took the screen name ALL? Would the system take it and if so, would they get millions of pings a day? Just something I've been wondering about for oh....years. LOL"

Chuckle! I wonder if JR already addressed the ALL problem. He knows we are all a bunch of smart alecks and jokesters here in the FR Family.

I have another off topic question. Anyone else getting extra wide pages from FR, oh, about every other day or so? For what seems like a long time now? Is the system still being tweaked? Just when I am ready to scream over having to scroll left to right, it appears normal the next day. But most of the time it has been wide asp pages!

C_THIS causes quite a stir over at IH, doesn't he?!

[bitt]

yes, me too. especially reading the 'posts to you' page.

[Velveeta]

JP. Nully was making a joke, mocking what the dems always say about "questioning the timing".

[Velveeta]

Get well wishes to you, Jerseygirl!

This is a call out for two Freeper friends and a very distressing story brought to my attention and they are receiving apathy with this issue, so we need TM'rs to hopefully take up this cause, brainstorm and act on it:

Guilty Plea Results in Deportation (no jail time for 'illegal' child molesters ??)
The Daily Herald ^ | 7/27/04 | Tony Gordon

A pair of illegal immigrants agreed not to contest their deportation, and by doing so avoided five-year prison sentences for molesting a Mundelein girl.

Cousins Antonio Reyes-Angeles, 25, and Isidro Reyes-Lorenzo, 20, pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse during a Monday hearing before Circuit Judge Victoria Rossetti.

The two were sentenced to five years in prison, but Rossetti agreed to put the prison time on hold in exchange for their agreement to cooperate with the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's efforts to deport them.

"They cannot assert their right to remain in the United States in any way," Assistant State's Attorney Marykay Foy said. "They either voluntarily return to Mexico, or are taken to prison."

The two admitted molesting a 10-year-old girl several times between January and April of this year in Mundelein.

Mundelein police arrested the men after the girl reported the attacks to a Hawthorn Middle School counselor who called police.

Foy said if either man is ever arrested in the United States, the five-year sentence will be imposed without provisions of time off for good behavior.

In addition, Foy said, federal law provides for a sentence of at least five years for any person deported as a result of a criminal act who re-enters this country.

Doda's comments:

This idiot {judge} thinks simple 'deportation' is suitable punishment for admitted child molesters........in post 33, 'Chicagolady' found another case where this same judge ruled for deportation of another admitted child molester.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1182024/posts?page=33#33

No jail time for any child molesters is an outrage, & to
simply deport these mexicans should be a crime in itself.

With the 'revolving door' @ our southern border, these scumbags could already be back in the USA.

[USA]Truckers Coordinate to Guard US Highways


Truckers Coordinate to Guard US Highways

U.S. anti-terrorism officials recently alerted the public that al-Qaeda terrorists may be planning a truck bomb attack in the northeastern United States. The nation's trucking industry has been on alert for some time, in large part, due to a federally-funded, $20 million program called Highway Watch.
"We have a pledge. It's a person pledge. It's an industry pledge and that's to do our level best to see that one of our trucks is never used as a weapon," says Mike Russell, a spokesman for the American Trucking Association (ATA), the trade group that represents more than three million truck drivers nationwide.



"Our industry hauls nearly 70 percent of the freight moved in the United States. We have to keep rolling," adds Mr. Russell. "The entire manufacturing process in the U.S. - thus, the economy - depends on trucks. We stock grocery shelves by the hour. We just have to keep rolling. We're doing our level best to do that and keep a secure driving force behind the wheel." Mr. Russell says that, since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, the ATA has taken steps, including the use of high technology, to make sure terrorists can't use trucks as weapons.

"We can lock and unlock a truck with satellite," he says. "We can stop a truck dead in its tracks with a satellite if it's so equipped [with terrorists or bombs]. The number one thing to make sure our highways are secure is to prevent the situation from getting to that point anyway."

The ATA has also recruited more than 10,000 truck drivers for a nationwide, anti-terrorist program called Highway Watch. Truck drivers who volunteer for Highway Watch simply look for anything unusual or suspicious while they're out on the highway and report it to a national telephone hotline.



"The training for Highway Watch individuals consists of several hours of highway safety and antiterrorist activity recognition - being able to understand how terrorists would work, what things they might do in preparation for developing a plan of attack; and being able to recognize that and report it to the proper authorities," explains truck driver Michael Smuckers, one of the volunteers.

Mr. Smuckers says there are various ways to point out a suspicious-looking truck driver and suspicious-looking vehicle: certain size trucks aren't allowed in urban areas, for example; the tractor part of a truck may not match the trailer; signs indicating flammable or other kinds of material have to be positioned at exact locations on the truck. Another truck driver on Highway Watch, Bill Adams says truckers on America's roads are already looking for these sorts of things.



"Always. One thing that you do after all the years in trucks is that you notice everything around you all the time," he says. "You notice if something changes because you run the areas. Something you'd look for is a gasoline tanker in an area where you know that there are no service stations or no tank farms they'd been coming from or going to. That's just stuff that, on a daily basis, it clicks to us that, 'Hey is that guy lost?' And we'll ask him on the radio. If there's no response or anything, then, 'Hey, we'd better pick up the phone and call Highway Watch.'"

That kind of vigilance does raise concerns among civil liberatarians that Highway Watch drivers might be reporting anyone they see who appears to be from the Middle East in other words, profiling.

"We don't profile our drivers," says ATA spokesman Mike Russell. "We're looking for actions and incidents. We're not looking at people in particular. We have no idea of the ethnic make-up of the trucking industry, and we frankly don't care because it doesn't matter."

Commercial bus drivers, school bus drivers, highway maintenance crews, bridge and tunnel toll booth workers are also eligible for training in the Highway Watch program. It's hoped that the number of volunteers will exceed half a million in the next two years.
