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?

It is late and I am about 400 messages behind, please use google and ask some of the questions that are out there about Russia.

I have read until I know longer understand what I see.

Russia has never given up, it continues as it always has.

Suitcase nukes, I suspect these were sold to anyone who had the money to pay for them. By Putin and his partners.

Putin is busy making new laws, as I understand it, the party politicians will be allowed to choose from only those that Putin chooses.

Putin continues to attack other countries, I do not know how many of the small countries Russia has its army killing people in.

Keep digging, the Russia & terrorist (muslim) tie is there and goes back many years. There is also a Nazi link.

No, I haven't changed my mind on Russia and in my opinion there is more danger from them today than ever before.

Twenty years ago, we were in a "Cold War" with them, today we are friends and I find they are doing the same acts today
that they were then.

What it all means, that I can't answer.

Be on your toes and keep your eyes open.

What is AQ Khan's current status? Didn't Pakistan just make him
apologise nicely and promise to quit giving the goodies away or did he
ever face any serious sanctions?
=======

I ran across a news clip, Khan got an award of some type and there was another report on his sales.

He is out of site, but not out of action.

The nuclear situation, appears to be anything you can imagine.

We need to do research on Russian Scientists, remember all the worlds dead ones?

I keep stumbling into Russian Scientists, it seems they are now showing up in several countries, many of them in the U.S., this is on my list, but must be down a ways, as others come first.

Russia's scientists demand a living

Hundreds of Russian scientists have protested in
Moscow against chronic underfunding for their
sector.

About 800 protesters rallied outside government
buildings, many of them coming from a 100-km
(62-mile) protest march in support of a living wage.

The academics and research workers, not normally
known for their militancy, say chronic underfunding
bodes ill for Russia's economic development.

The BBC's Russian affairs analyst, Stephen Dalziel,
says there are also real fears that impoverished
Russian scientists may be wooed abroad by
rogue nations seeking to develop weapons of mass
destruction.

Brain drain

Viktor Kalinushkin, chairman of the Russian
Academy of Sciences' trade unions, says that
between 500,000 and 800,000 Russian scientists
made long-term missions abroad in the past 10
years.

"Hardly any of them have come back," he told a
news conference.

Talented young physicists, biologists, chemists and
computer programmers are seeking more lucrative
placements in Western states.

"When they work abroad they can get more than
100,000 dollars a year," said Fedor Brovko, trade
union leader at the Pushchino Biochemistry
Institute.

"The difference is just too great. Young people are
studying with us purely so that they can go and
work abroad."

Pittance for science Many of the demonstrators had
marched from the scientific research town of
Pushchino outside Moscow.

Postgraduate researchers and students at the rally
said their paltry student grants did not even cover
their accommodation costs.

"I want to work in the science sector," said
21-year-old Pavel Medvedev.

"But to do so I either have to take some sort of
work on the side or sponge off my parents, and I
don't want to do that."

President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged the
sector's funding crisis.

In March, he said that support for science was
"downright inefficient" and called for a "new
economic foundation" for the sector.

He accused science of being "poorly adapted for
the market economy".

The BBC's correspondent notes that scientists
have had particular cause to rue the passing of the
USSR.

Once holding prestigious jobs, with salaries,
accommodation and perks to match, many senior
research scientists now have to survive on less
than $50 a month.

Whilst many of the scientists do go to the USA and
other Western states, the worry is that others are
ending up in countries such as Iran and Iraq.

In Gamble, U.S. Supports
Russian Germ Warfare
Scientists

By JUDITH MILLER

BOLENSK, Russia -- At this
sprawling, rundown research
complex where Soviet scientists
once secretly worked to turn
plague, tularemia, glanders and
anthrax into weapons, the Clinton
administration is taking what
many consider a perilous gamble.

The administration has been
financing research here and at
other institutes throughout the
former Soviet Union by scientists
who only a decade ago
manipulated genes to make deadly
viruses and bacteria even hardier
and resistant to vaccines and
antibiotics.

Since 1994, the United States
government has spent $20 million
helping some 2,200 scientists at
30 institutes in the former Soviet
Union turn their deadly skills to
public health and other peaceful
research. Administration officials
say this money -- which,
according to the General
Accounting Office may increase
to $270 million by 2005 -- is also
intended to prevent the Soviet
scientists from selling their
expertise to Iran, Iraq, and other
"rogue" states or terrorist groups
trying to acquire germ weapons.

Until recently, most of the support
came from the Departments of
State, Defense, and Energy. But
prompted by the threats of
bioterrorism and naturally
emerging diseases to American
health and the nation's food
supply, the Departments of
Agriculture, Health and Human
Services, and others have now
joined the campaign.

Among the most intriguing
newcomers is the Defense
Advanced Research Projects
Agency, or Darpa, the military
group that helped invent the
Internet and which is known for
supporting avant-garde research.
Darpa has cautiously and quietly
allocated more than $3 million
since 1998 for work, including
some here at Obolensk, that in
many ways resembles research
that was once the source of
America's greatest fears.

The administration knows that this
assistance could help Russia
continue developing germ
weapons, if, as some suspect,
research continues at its four
still-closed military labs. Can the
Russians, who doubled the size of
their vast covert germ warfare
program after signing the 1972
treaty banning such weapons, now
be trusted?

"No one really knows," Wendy
Orent, an expert on the former
Soviet program, concluded last
month in American Prospect, a
liberal magazine.

But in a report to Congress in
January, the Pentagon concluded
that the access gained to Obolensk
through such assistance gave it
"high confidence" that neither
Obolensk nor Vector, the former
Soviet viral weapons complex in
Siberia, was now engaged in
activities related to germ warfare.

In fact, the administration
maintains that the risk of not
helping Russian scientists far
outweighs the risk of doing so. Darpa argues that
tapping the knowledge of the Russian scientists, who
continued making ever deadlier germ weapons two
decades after President Richard M. Nixon ended
America's program in 1969, will benefit science and
strengthen American national security.

Still, the risks are obvious here at Obolensk.

In a way, the place is a monument of sorts to
communism's failure. Many of its 90 buildings are
half-built; several labs appear abandoned. Weeds have
replaced the grass shown in photos of the installation in
its prime.

Fifty miles southwest of Moscow but unlisted on Soviet
maps, Obolensk until recently was closed not only to
foreigners, but also to Soviet scientists who were not
part of the germ warfare program. Last month,
however, Gen. Nikolai N. Urakov, the institute's
long-serving director, invited an American reporter to
attend the first large open scientific conference
Obolensk has ever sponsored.

The remnants of germ warfare research are still eerily
evident: the heavy metal locks on doors on the third and
fourth floors of Building No. 1, which confined the
most deadly of Obolensk's collection of 2,000 strains
of pathogens to air-tight rooms; giant pipes that carried
breathable air to scientists in contaminated areas,
emergency telephones, fire extinguishers, alarms and
even the space suits on display at the building's
entrance.

Thanks for the information.

That this pilot was flying around from airport to airpot without identification is mind-boggling.

[Velveeta]

I do recall something similar in Texas.
They chalked it up to a 'youthful' prank.

And while we're at it, from ancient times until the 1920's Smyrna, in Asia Minor, was a Greek city. Its inhabitants who had lived in relative peace during the Ottoman era were slaughtered by the secularist New Turks during the Greco-Turkish War (when the Greeks tried to unite all the Greek areas of the former Ottoman Empire), and those fleeing were left to drown rather than be rescued by French and British warships off the coast. Western behavior during the "Rape of Smyrna" is another source of anti-Western (European) resentment among Orthodox Christians.

"remains closed indefinitely"

WOW! And they still don't know what the mysterious substance is??

[Velveeta]

Thanks for the explanation, Myrddin.

My daughter's cell phone keeps getting calls that sound like a fax machine. I have to battle with the cell company every month to get the charges removed.

They told me that we may just have to get a new phone number. Seems upgrading the phone (yep, I got snookered) didn't solve the problem.

[Velveeta]

Bookmarking Russian scientists.

Will do some digging around.

granny...this is quite close to me so I am hearing all the info. on this story locally.

Anyway, in an interesting report this morning, they said that 70% of the oil necessary for the Northeast U.S. is brought through the Delaware River to processing plants in NJ and PA.

This tanker was double hulled on the top and single hulled on the bottom. This river is so highly travelled by these large tankers, that if there were some type of dangerous underwater debris; the sonar equipment and Coast Guard would have found it by now. And there probably would have been other incidents. IMO someone knew that this tanker was single hulled on the bottom. These tankers are taken up the river from the Delaware Bay by highly skilled river pilots. I can't imagine that if they did hit something it would not have been reported by now.

Several months ago, we heard of a dead Scuba diver in the New York area and another in Florida.

Only the divers, not a sign of where they came from, no boat and no equipment.

The group did a lot of research, I found a couple more in other areas without any sign of where they came from and no sign to tell who they were.

In Australia (as I recall) there were 2 arab types who paid $4,000 for Scuba Diving lessons, one never came back and the other took one lesson. They did not ask for the money back.

There were several divers in Hawaii, but they would disappear before they were caught.

Of course the men can tell of all that can be done under water.

It is all possible.
