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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned. |

Are they wanting to move the capitol south to protect it from a response to their own aggression? Does that reveal any kind of timeline?
BTW, would the artillery density be enough to blow a quick path through the minefield?

Nostradamus Prediction for August 19 For the date-challenged among us. Maybe its a good thing all those seats are unfilled there (sarcasm). Good for a raised-eyebrow if nothing else!
Spanish security groups fight merging databases - sound familiar?
Jimmy Carter got a Nobel Peace prize for negotiating an agreement with North Korea. That agreement included removal of nukes from the DMZ. That's why NK is so feisty now. In addition to nuclear tipped artillery, we also had a contingent of Marines with suitcase nukes at the ready to halt an invasion of SK by NK. Those are gone too.
The SK military is big enough to fend for itself now. There is no need to leave our 37,000 troops in place.
Thanks Godzilla.
Have a good trip.
As to the second point: Well, I'm no "cannon cocker" but I think that artillery technology and munitions have grown so much that "counterbattery" fire is near instantaneous and effective. Current doctrine is to shoot and move out, fast! I don't think that lends itself to blowing holes in deeeeeep minefields. There would also be a variety of obstacles employed including tank trenches and the like. It would be a patterned, layered defense in depth with overlapping fires from both tac-air and helicopter gunships using standoff tactics and special munitions.
PHILADELPHIA (KYW) According to sources, two US Airways employees are accused of using the luggage conveyor belt to get to work, creating a violation of security procedures.
(SNIP)Aviation Attorney Arthur Wolk agrees to a point: Because they're employees and presumably not terrorists, what it tells you is there are holes in the security system.

Ahhh good Old Jimmy "The Peanut Farmer" Carter. He managed to do this while also giving away our interests in the Panama Canal and adjacent zones of interest and influence.
I'd guess it doesn't matter a whole lot if there are no longer any nukes on the DMZ when our nuclear sub fleet can lay just offshore with enough megatons to turn NK into glass. In any case, you're 100% correct: There is no viable reason to leave our guys there.
NEW YORK: US and Pakistani authorities fear a meeting of terrorist leaders in Pakistan was the precursor to a major al-Qa'ida attack on America, according to Time magazine.
Authorities discovered a "second string" of terrorist leaders met in the remote northwestern province of Waziristan in March, the magazine reported yesterday.
"The personalities involved, the operations, the fact an explosives expert came here and went back, all this was extremely significant," Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said.
Some US officials fear the summit meeting might have been a key planning session ahead of a major attack -- just as the September 11, 2001, strike on the US was preceded by an al-Qa'ida gathering in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, 11 months earlier.
A US official described those at the Pakistan summit as "cold-blooded killers who are very skilled at what they do and have an intense desire to inflict an awful lot of pain and suffering on America".
Participants included Abu Issa al Hindi, an Indian convert to radical Islam and surveillance specialist living in Britain; Adnan el Shukrijumah, a commercial pilot and bombmaker of Arab-Guyanese origin; and Mohammed Junaid Babar, a Pakistani-American who arrived at the summit with cash, sleeping bags and ponchos, Time reported.
Al Hindi is now under arrest in Britain, and Mohammed Babar was arrested in New York in April.
Others, including Shukrijumah, 29, are still at large. Shukrijumah "speaks English and has the ability to fit in and look innocuous", an FBI agent told Time.
Shukrijumah was born in Guyana and raised in Florida, where his late father, a Saudi-Yemeni cleric, preached hardline Wahhabism at a small mosque. He reportedly holds passports from Guyana and Trinidad, and may also have Canadian and Saudi passports. He can easily pass for Hispanic and authorities fear he may cross the Canadian or Mexican borders.
The FBI said Shukrijumah could be the "next Atta", a reference to Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian ringleader of the September 11 attacks.
Cindy, thank you for the Radio Page link refresher at your site http://www.truthusa.com/RADIO.html
It always comes in handy.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Authorities are testing a suspicious powder mailed to the U.S. Embassy in Malaysia to determine whether it is anthrax, officials said Monday after the second such scare at a U.S. mission in Asia within a week.
The powder was mailed with an intimidating leaflet from an unknown group called Jemaah Muhajirin Mohamad, demanding Washington remove its troops from Iraq or face the consequences. It threatened to blow up the embassy and kill or kidnap Americans in Malaysia, said Abdul Aziz Bulat, Kuala Lumpurs police chief of criminal investigations.
We think that its just a hoax and this group is nonexistent, but we will take precautions by investigating this seriously, Abdul Aziz told The Associated Press.

LOL!!!Maybe that's why the stadiums are empty. They are
concerned about the asteroid not terrorist.
Thanks for the link, JP. I would like to know whether or not Dr. Judah Ben Hur is a mad scientist. He seems like he could be a character in the next Austin Powers sequel. But you never ever know. He could be 100 percent on the mark.
Thank you for your report, Ruth. They are always very interesting and welcome here.
I hope Dr. Bill addresses the nuke issue soon.
Our world is changing rather quickly in response to events and circumstances we know about and many we do not. Everything is in flux...Time for relaxation and a beer. :)

This has been my concern for the past couple of months. It
is almost like the powers that be are reading our thread.
Thanks for your review, Godzilla.
So you are saying that they reallocated Denny's generators for more important use? If so, then I understand and Denny's probably did as well.
I am packed... When can me & mine move? BTW, I mentioned dividing the U.S. in half and sending all the libs and dems to live in one half with all the laws (and lawlessness) they like so much. I mentioned it here on FR during the clintoon impeachment scandal. But, hey, I'll take a state for starts. :)
Yes and Yes!
Thanks!
