Ping to Thread Eighteen!
Id 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. Ill 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.

Feel free to reuse this anywhere you wish...
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.
For the duration, I hope!
Thanks, and once again, job well done. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.
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.
sure thing, stop lurking though! ;)
Thank you for Thread 18, nw.
Great job.
Fabulous links, as usual.
'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.
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.
