![]() Credit: The Cabal 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. "I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

I'm gonna resize that and post it shortly.
When the discord gets to a certain level,
the only redemptive thing is to take it private and keep it there--whether the other side does, or not.
It appears to me that the contentions on both sides are quite clear enough.
It's highly unlikely either of you will convince the other in the short term.
Behaving in the honorable, TM goaled manner and directions is probably one thing you can do that may bear more attractive fruit than tit for tat posts publically.
My sense is that enough of the thread have expressed discomfort with the level of discord and tension--it's really feeling like the best interest of TM is to take it private and keep it there. If you feel otherwise at a future point, run it past JustPiper if you want to bring it public again.
Blessings,
let us know what you find out.

The election monitoring situation is heating up. I am disgusted by it personally. We are, and will continue to be, a sovereign nation. As far as I can tell, this is the first time this type of thing is occuring.

War Gaming Terrorism, Part 7
August 6, 2004
by Tom Marzullo
This is the seventh and last tactical portion of a series of analyses that seeks to partially game out potential terrorist attacks from the terrorists point of view, using some of the realistic measures that we know or suspect are available to them.
This series is an opportunity for every citizen, without a military background in guerrilla warfare, to learn of how our sworn enemies will work in order that we may be better unified to do something useful about them.
Nest weeks two-part summary that follows this last tactical discussion will first look at the potential combinations of these actions against us and to what ends they might be employed.
By understanding how such attacks are designed and are likely to be used, it is expected that people within our communities may be better prepared to respond in an informed manner. This is, after all, the very solid basis for how our founders envisioned citizen participation in conflicts.
Tactical: (A little bit of this and a little bit of that)
Nuclear Devices
I wont repeat the information that I put out long ago regarding improvised dispersal devices and their aftermath, so I suggest you go to my original article (link to URL: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=32766) from May of 2003.
Regarding actual nuclear explosives
there are a number of smaller man-packable devices in the .5-3 kiloton range that remain unaccounted for out of the former Soviet Union. A Kiloton is an explosive power equivalent that uses a thousand tons of TNT as its basis.
The primary issue involved with moving neutron-emitting nuclear material (the essential basis for a bomb) from place to place is that neutron emissions are difficult to shield and are a red flag if picked up. The most likely scenario would be the use of an oil tanker with an especially constructed/sealed compartment for the weapon near the center of the vessel and below the water line in order that the neutron emissions are shielded by the oil. Oil is a good neutron shield because it made up of a large percentage of hydrogen. Because of this trait, water, plastics and organic tissue are also good at shielding neutrons. So seaports are at the highest risk from any larger-yield nuclear device. It is not very difficult to build a nuclear device, the major issue being the weight vs. yield ratio and, globally, most research has been focused upon getting more yield from ever an smaller physics package
so if weight and mass are no longer an issue for the delivery platform (such as would be the case if carried inside of a ship) the dilemma of making and delivering one is much simplified.
Communications
Anybody who is business today knows that if you shut down communications, you shut down the bulk of businesses. Everything from central databases that run the cash registers to essential data sharing of myriad types. How many times has your work or shopping been interrupted because the computers are down?
So just how do we manage the stupendous levels of data transfer required for this modern age? Fiber-optic cables are both the answer and our Achilles heel. They are also one of our most vulnerable necessities.
We know this for a fact, as you can look in any telephone book and find a toll-free number that is required by law to call in every region before you dig anywhere, in order that the underground cables will be marked so that they are not inadvertently cut by excavating companies or even by home-owners for that matter.
And so it is that we provide the location of all of our critical communications arteries for the price of toll-free call. There is no mechanism in place to determine if the caller is a real company or person. Within two to five working days those cable locations will be clearly marked as a public service
and our sworn enemies, the Islamists, they know how to read and use telephone books too.
This might be an attack all on its own, but even more likely it would be used as an adjunct to a larger attack. How do you call 911 when the trunk lines are cut
your cell phone is not going to get you anywhere as the cellular node that picked up your transmission also uses those trunk lines to send a signal the corresponding node for the person or place you are calling to. Satellite phones are probably the least vulnerable, but not invulnerable.
If we know anything about the Islamist terrorists at all, we know that they plan meticulously. Researching where the major fiber-optic lines run is very likely to be a high priority project of theirs since most of our vaunted abilities are dependent on communications. So if you work for a company that runs a cable network, you must ask yourself the question: How secure is the information on layout of our cabling system?
Sniping and Individual Acts of Terror
Those Beltway Snipers sure did kick up a fuss didnt they? What did they have? A scoped rifle, an old junker of a car with a camouflaged hole cut in the trunk and meals at fast food joints. Pretty small capital investment for such a return wouldnt you say, if you were a terrorist planner?
The very simple and uncomplicated approach is what has classically been used in guerrilla warfare in this century and is especially favored by the Islamists. One need only open a few books on how partisan groups operated during World War Two to get a very clear picture of how this works, so if you add our new vulnerabilities and technology you know that it is overall awareness coupled with alerting a capable response system that is our very best defense against such acts.
Civil defense takes on a wholly new aspect when considered in the light of an aggressively unconventional campaign against us in our own country.
In next weeks closing summary in two parts, I will first lay out a couple higher probability scenarios and their applications.
In the closing piece, I will focus on what can be done on a practical basis to good effect with little to no training. Yes, you are not helpless before these drooling 12th century throwback, religious zealots. It is just time to check on the status of your backbones.

Ok. Thanks. The "bug on a windshield" thing is reassuring. :)
More trouble in Calif........
ANZA, Calif. A fast-moving wildfire that ignited this afternoon is threatening homes in a tiny Riverside County desert community southeast of Hemet.
Homes are being evacuated in and around the community of Anza, and several dozen youths were evacuated from a sprawling campus that houses troubled youth.
Authorities say the fire burned through 400 acres of thick chaparral in less than three hours.
It isn't clear exactly how many homes are being evacuated or how close the flames are.
It was 112 degrees in Anza this afternoon.
The new fire comes after firefighters spent much of the weekend battling several blazes around the state that scorched more than 5-thousand acres and forced scores of people from their homes.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) _ California's power grid manager has issued a "power watch" for tomorrow.
I-S-O spokeswoman Stephanie McCorkle says it's possible the state could get close to a power emergency tomorrow -- the second day of a four-day heat wave.
FWIW, I have not read her latest book, but I know something about Ms. Davis and her theories. She has some good ones, and to say that the evidence about ME involvement in OKC is disturbing puts it mildly. However, she had the misfortune of relying on at least one unreliable witness & that hurt her credibility with some people. It is a shame that Jayna Davis & Laurie Mylroie are not more widely showcased on the various talk shows.
And his invisible friend, too.
The followers of the pedophile false prophet can not stand truthful examination.
Now a query. From the Hebrew of the old testament The word which is translated as curse can also be translated as oath. I understand that it comes from a 3 Hebrew letter word consisting of aleph lamed hay. curse, aleph lamed hay, pronounced and spelled in English as allah. Any basis to this. If so it seems we may have been sent a message through time about our present reality. ~ 78 posted on 07/26/2004 1:19:13 PM PDT by lobo59
From a private communication with a Hebrew speaking FReeper:
Aleph Lamed Hey has several meanings in Hebrew depending on the vowelization.
Aleph (khomatz) Lamed (khomatz) Hey means "curse"
Aleph (khomatz) Lamed (patach) Hey means "female goddess" or "female idol")
It is know that many different cultures worshipped the moon as a goddess (Diana (Roman), Artemis (Greek), Nanna (Norse))
So the OT is saying that not only is Allah accursed, but Allah is a woman!
The Whore of Babylon???
