Thread Eighteen

The Threat Matrix

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.

Threat Matrix : Code of Conduct

Please pay close attention:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES

There will be NO bashing any mods, it will be taken private or there will be NO MORE Threat Matrix !!! That comes from the top!

Please everyone here review the following rules, they are not posted just for fun, they must be adhered to!

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

Do stay on topic - FR has varied topics for whatever you need to say

Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it

We cannot stress the following enough:
{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic or Threat Matrix not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}

Ping to Thread Eighteen!

I’d like to take a quick moment to thank JustPiper for everything she has done to keep the Threat Matrix alive and well over the past several months; I know we have all enjoyed her vigilance and care. I’ll say it again, The TM ‘legacy’ is yours JP. And to Kinetic, the transition in thread creation could not have been smoother. Thanks much, for your gracious efforts and wonderful coding.

While working on thread 18… as I was looking back through threads (and reading posts from around Christmas/New Years and February), I reflected on just how long this process has been ongoing now. Some of us have read every post since day 1. Many, if not all, have contributed in meaningful ways. If it was not for Freepers like Tubavil, TheCabal, Mossad1967, and Revel, we would likely never have seen the TM come to where it is today. The ranks have changed to some degree since day 1, but the thread is as strong as ever.

We appear to be headed towards another tense time as the election approaches, it is more important than ever for us all to come together as one. There are several folks included in the ping list that have not posted in some time, and likely others who I have forgotten. I urge everyone to return and help in the effort, several of you are sorely missed on a day to day basis.

I have highlighted a few posters on the ‘index’ post and would love to be able to add more. If you have or find something you feel is worth highlighting -please- let me know.

Enjoy, and stay safe.

Really fantastic work. Can you add me to your ping list? I lurk on TM, but don't post much.

Thanks!

The Clintons are in Iceland. Does anyone know how long they'll be there? I'm always a bit nervous when they decide to leave the country.

[null and void]

For the duration, I hope!

[Oorang]

Thanks, and once again, job well done. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.

[ladyjane]

The Clintons are survivors. If they're in town I feel sure it's safe and there probably won't be any terrorist attack. When they leave town I have to ask myself, what do they know? Sounds paranoid, yes. But do you think Hillary will be around when things hit the fan? NO.

[nwctwx]

sure thing, stop lurking though! ;)

'Hijack signal' on missing plane
From correspondents in Moscow
August 25, 2004

THE Russian plane that went missing around the time as another jet crashed issued a signal indicating a hijacking or seizure before disappearing from radar, the Interfax news agency has reported.

The signal came at 11:04 pm yesterday (0404 AEST today) from the Tu-154 airliner that went missing in southern Russia's Rostov region, Interfax quoted a source in Russia's "power structures" as saying.

Emergency workers were still searching for the plane hours after it disappeared from radar screens on a flight from Moscow to the Black Sea resort city of Sochi.

The source said the signal was activated shortly before the plane disappeared.

Another passenger jet that went missing at about the same time crashed in the Tula region south of Moscow. There was no word on survivors among the 89 people believed to be aboard the two planes.

[liberallyconservative]

The Threat Matrix legacy continues. Great work by all of you to have kept us going.

Wreckage of second missing plane found
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1198777/posts

The wreckage of the second missing Russian plane has been found.

Two planes crashed, each with 40 people on board.

The planes were reported missing within minutes of each other late on Tuesday night, and Russian news agencies said President Vladimir Putin had ordered the FSB security service to investigate the incidents, something it would normally do only when there are suspicious circumstances.

Witnesses saw an explosion on board one of the planes just before it crashed near Tula,150 km south of Moscow.

Local news agencies reported that security had been tightened at all the country's airports after the incidents.

The suggestion that the incidents might have been deliberately caused will raise concerns of possible political motivation.

[null and void]

I completely agree. Still, Iceland can have 'em!
