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!

Connect these dots, now
Full Story

"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

"Authorities: pilot in crash near Smyrna ran out of gas"
November 29, 2004

SMYRNA (AP)


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Authorities say the man is Jerry Darnell of Carlinville, Illinois. He's been charged with failing to have proper flying credentials.

The Cessna C-172 was flying from Maury County when it lost power and took a nose dive into a fence near a road intersection.

Ken Hampton of the Smyrna Police Department said the man was acting "a little different" and claimed his identification had been stolen.

The plane was registered in Illinois."

The boards activity seems to be pretty elevated right now. They are talking about the new Zawahiri tape, however aren't mentioning much about it. Most are asking for it to be uploaded so they can download it and view it.

Once it has been more widly viewed, then they'll talk about it. How they talk about it concerns me.

[Velveeta]

Thanks for checking!

I still have a strange gut on this one.

Zawahiri's tape comes one exactly month after the OBL tape on 10-29.

Good point!

Following up a hunch, I checked on other possible meanings for the word "Septar". In astrology, it refers to a seven-year solar cycle.

This time seven years ago, Terrorist activity was reported at an ATAS fuel plant in Turkey (12/10/97) and against Western Geophysical in Nigeria (12/13/97).

FWIW

Curios. Thanks for finding that.

Still hunting here.

Smyrna was also recently in the news because of this October plane crash:

Couldn't check for toxins since it had been 4 days ----that doesn't make sense. Arsenic and such can be detected for quite a long time after exposure. Any medical experts here who have an idea what chemical could do that to a person, then dissipate in 4 days?

I did read that, when I was googling about arsenic. If tests (blood tests?) are not done in a day or 2 after exposure, it's gone from the body.

The only way to test for it after that timeframe is by checking the hair and fingernails, where arsenic will remain for quite some time. I wondered if they had done those tests on Yushchenko though.

Someone posted somewhere that the results of tests done on him in Austria have been sealed.

[Cindy]

Thanks.

Does the word "Smyrna" itself ring any bells?

[liberallyconservative]

I live only about 30 minutes from there, and we're not hearing much of anything about this on our local news. The midday report had a tiny blurb about the crash being investigated and that was it. They segued into the Ebersol crash in CO.

[texasbluebell]

I recall the Ukrainean pilots (young and healthy) who died within hours of delivering their "cargo". Some one in authority had paid off the workers not to search that cargo. I always wondered what it was, and what killed the pilots.

That's what I was trying to remember, jg, and couldn't even find it by googling. I wonder what they were carrying in cargo.

Also happens to be the name of a biblical ancient city

(One of my other tin-foil theories ~grin~)

[texasbluebell]

arsenic poisoning takes time, doesn't it? Recall that horrible movie "Flowers in the Attic", where they slowly killed the children off with arsenic on cookies?

I'm pretty sure from the googling info, if given a large enough dose, it can be a very sudden result. He was probably meant to die quickly, but was not given enough (if this was arsenic). Whoever did it didn't care whether it looked like a subtle way to go, over time, with small doses.

[SlowBoat407]

One of the cities conquered by TROP.

[freeperfromnj]

Any significant landmarks near the town?

[Velveeta]

Would you please ping me if you hear anything else?

[Cindy]

How close is Murfsboro (sp?) to Smyrna?
Just curious.

Anyway, that's probably what I may have been thinking of -- that general area.

Tinfoil off -- it was most likely an old news report I was thinking of.
