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?

Welcome back MnC. You brought with you a most interesting post. I am bookmarking and will give it a thorough read later.

[EternalHope]

This guys rant offers absolutely no proof of anything. He simply asserts that he is "in the know", and that he is willing to disclose ultra top secret information. If he really had such information, divulging it would land him in jail (if he was lucky).

Some of his allegations are completely disproven, such as a Mossad/U.S. conspiracy as the real reason for 9-11. Likewise, his claimed ability to listen in on encrypted U.S. intelligence info is highly suspect. If he could, it would NEVER be disclosed.

Given the ease with which some of his rant can be discredited, and the lack of support for any of the rest, why give any credence to anything this guy says?

If someone wants to wear a little tinfoil, and is determined to put some credence into this guy, then one theory would center on deliberate disinformation. For instance, one possible motivation for BS like this would be to plant seeds that some future attack was really the work of the U.S. That kind of confusion could certainly be used against us if it were believed by enough people.

Hey Godzilla. Thanks for the welcome and also for responding. I am inclined to agree with you that he may have a "political agenda" given his obvious attempt to portray Wolfowitz as "the enemy within." This is the main reason I characterized his (her) posts as smacking of Lyndon LaRouche. However, he manages to weave many seemingly disconnected facts and pieces of information into a very plausible story.

I'm going to post some additional posts made subsequent to the ones I've already posted, but first, check THIS out, and also, if you have the time, do a Google search on insider trading from last weeks news.

Begin pasted posts:

German guy 12/16/2004 5:11 pm EST Please allow me to clarify something important. When the Bundesnachrichtendienst seeks to warn other nations about possible covert activity, it is standard procedure to transmit this information only to its opposite number. In the United States this is the CIA, which is then mandated to relay that intelligence to the government. The BND performed this function twice in 2001 prior to the 9-11 attacks, warning very explicitly with detailed information about exactly (and I mean "exactly") what the Wolfowitz network was doing. Twice, the BND was ignored. Although we are former BND operatives and analysts (plus my technical partner), who also work internationally in conjunction with "The Library", we would still be expected to follow standard procedure. However, we no longer trust the CIA establishment as an impartial mediator of critical information. Nor do we have much faith in the Bush executive, from within which the Wolfowitz network of the Hidden Hand was spawned. We therefore made an unprecedented decision to communicate these findings directly to the FBI. To date, we have seen no indication that any action has been taken, which is disheartening to say the least, if only because we may very well see history repeating itself. The sad truth is that almost every major state-based intelligence organisation is heavily compromised in the performance of its duties. As a Canadian operative ("John Doe") himself testified earlier in this discussion, even the BND is subject to arbitrary, politically inspired stand-down orders when it comes to breaking up Mossad subversion of sovereign nations. We know that American public service agencies (and to a lesser degree the British intelligence community) have been infiltrated top to bottom with Mossad and Hidden Hand assets and sympathisers, and that the American media deliberately fails to report this type of subversion. Why is that? We know that newspaper and media owners themselves are already wealthy and well-disposed toward the Hidden Hand. Well, you need to ask yourselves about the vast sums of cash siphoned off from defence procurement contracts in various budgets that are not properly audited by your Congress, such that said sums of money are given the designation "slush and hush" funds, managed by unaccountable financiers in the City of London. Editors and journalists often enjoy a lifestyle far in excess of their normal salary - just for turning a blind eye.

German guy 12/16/2004 7:11 pm EST Please allow me to dispel a few myths. The internal and external communications of CIA stations and military installations in Germany are not only insecure, they are laughably easy to crack. I think many Americans go to see Hollywood films and come away with the impression that these people have all this whiz-bang technology and gadgets. So it would come as a shock to you to learn that many are still equipped with old Windows 95 machines :-). And they shouldn´t be using Windows at all, even the latest rubbish. Up until recently, US military bases in Germany all used Compaq A900 printer/fax combos (yes, in the age of the internet!). These were all supplied by a bulk retailer in Germany. We rewired every Compaq A900 printer/fax before the bulk supplier shipped them. We knew that the machines were never swept for bugs, and even if they were they would never have registered any. For almost eight years nothing written on those machines escaped our attention! Here´s the oldest info-leak in the book: wives and girlfriends. While agents and senior military personnel use encrypted communications (landlines and mobile/satellite), girlfriends and wives often use a standard E-plus, 02, D1 and D2 Telekom handy. (And don´t forget: Mr Bush will not pay the expense of encrypting the mobile of a mistress/whore.) Now, in my time we were all forbidden from telling our wives or girlfriends about any aspect of our work. What we discovered over the years is that American personnel just cannot stop talking about how they are saving (or ruining) the world. Superheroes. Every detail. And how wives and girlfriends then tell their best friends about their charming "secret agent" American lovers! It´s easy to set up a CIA agent with a new "girlfriend". They just can´t say no, married or not, especially in cold cities such as Munich or Berlin during the winter months. Here´s another myth: you cannot hack bluetooth from a distance of more than 40 metres. Not true. My technical partner Felix can crack it at over half a kilometre. Which is why he enjoys driving around so much in areas where we know British, American, Israeli or Russian ops are living or working. The great thing about many German cities is that most affordable residences are within metres of the street anyway. Myth: the standard for wireless encryption is difficult to unencrypt. Reality: It´s child´s play. Myth: only resourced intelligence agencies can run complex e-mail scaning bots and web bots with advanced pattern-recognition algorithms. Reality: The basic software technology is ubiquitous and deployment costs are minimal. The trick lies in the quality of human linguistic knowledge, so it´s always a good idea to have an excellent university on hand with plenty of native language professors and students. The software is only as good as the human brains behind it. (No offence to people on this forum, but the quality of education in America does not look good for your future intelligence capabilities.) Israel develops good web bots (check the Mossad relationship to Google and you´ll never use it again) but the best linguists are the French. After 9-11, both the French and German governments offered to help the CIA and FBI with their poor quality of foreign language skills and services. Once again, America turned down that offer. The British and Israelis are the world´s best actors. MI6 gets a lot of young people who would otherwise make excellent stage or film actors. (I was stationed in England for a number of years, so I know from experience.) MI6 is first-class in establishing paper companies (fake fronts) ... But the BND excels at burning them to the ground :-) Politely, of course. It´s now 01.10 CET and I´m ready to sleep. I shall post again with some more information at around 22.00 hrs CET.

German guy 12/17/2004 5:05 pm EST I would now like to ask you to allow us to explain how we came to this point and why we are choosing, even at this late juncture, to make these things known in an unofficial venue. There is a certain mystique about intelligence work that does not really correlate to reality. The work we did, and which many of our friends and colleagues still do, is mostly every bit as mundane as the work civilians do in countless offices around the world. But there are moments and opportunities for great excitement and breakthroughs that you will remember with pride for the rest of your life, and because almost nobody in the real world will ever know about these historic moments it is very important to remind yourself that you do these things for your country, and that is sufficient reward in itself. We have all experienced what it is like to work for a company or an organisation that you feel has the best colleagues, the most professional teamwork, real friendship that transcends all your other relationships; and you are honoured to find yourself working alongside some of the best talent and brains in the country. This is not just your family. It is your whole life. And, by the way, although we naturally compete and we are proud of "getting one up" on our richer and more powerful counterparts, when we are informed of the illness or death of an American, Russian, French, Canadian, Israeli or British operative we take it very personally. Although we often skirmish with one another for turf, contacts, information and channels - and sometimes it can get very tough (believe me) - we are still all brothers and sisters who face the same challenges and the same dangers, day after day. During our time at the BND we were all very proud to be working for a service that delivered more than it promised. As with every agency, we felt we could have done more with adequate funds and we thus worked long hours and employed more of our own ingenuity and personal resources in coming up with radical solutions to radical problems. It is therefore very upsetting when you see the fine results of your hard work wasted on politicians who are ultimately your bosses. You spend every minute of every day serving your country and working to make the world a better and safer place in which to live, and then you see your political masters working equally hard to betray all your efforts and suppress the truth, often allowing very wealthy and very powerful criminals to escape justice. Even if you are forced to the conclusion that they are not traitors to their country, they are certainly traitors to humanity. A good case in point, which I mentioned before, was the limited release to the American government of information that identified Paul Wolfowitz and his network, which we had been carefully monitoring for months, as key players in an attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon that we knew would take place sometime in September 2001. My technical assistant at the time even provided that exact same date based upon a pattern in his intercepts of the Hidden Hand associates who were in frequent communication with Wolfowitz (these included Richard Perle, Frank Riley, Richard Myers, John Poindexter, Bill Luti and Avner Meir, among many others too numerous to list). We knew who had intimate knowledge of the 9-11 plan, mostly those at the top of the Wolfowitz pyramid, and we knew who had the general attitude of "Tell me, but don´t tell me" lower down in the pyramid. When we went to our political masters in Berlin we laid it on the table and said, "These are the facts. This is how it is." We did not expect an immediate reaction (other than disbelief) but we took it for granted that we would be authorised to alert the non-compromised sections of the CIA and FBI who we hoped would be in a position to close the Wolfowitz operation down before people were killed. To cut a long story very short, there was a process of political haggling and nervous hysterics as to what we should or should not tell the American government and security services, and to make matters worse we were forbidden to communicate directly with agents we trusted and knew were not part of the Hidden Hand and the Wolfowitz network. Even though I am not a Social Democrat, I have a lot of respect for Shroeder and I do believe he and Fischer wrestled with this more than the others, who are basically cowards, afraid of offending the Israel lobby and powerful corporate interests. But slowly we watched the truth hacked down to manageable and politically "safe" proportions and then communicated to the wrong people - the people who should have been the last to know. When that information was transmitted to the Bush administration it had been shorn of all the names and details that belonged in the original case file. Even then, it was ignored: twice. I am not among those who believe that the Israelis have as much influence and power in Germany as they do over the corresponding political process in America, but I am sure that there are forces behind our government that are illuminated solely by the six-pointed star and do everything in their power to make sure that no intelligence "made in Germany" impacts their long-term plans. Needless to say, we felt very let down, but reassured ourselves that sufficient warning had been given, such that Rice would bring the whole ball game to a quiet end. No one was more devastated by the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon than my colleagues at the BND. Everything they had predicted transpired exactly as they thought it would. Please try to imagine that feeling as you watch those towers tumble and you see the men responsible for those horrific crimes winking mischieviously into a television camera, blaming a (CIA) contract man sitting in a dirt hole in Afghanistan. The only consolation for us was that the French too had some information that tallied with ours, and Chirac (privately) informed his deputies that he was not going to allow the Americans to hoodwink his executive; and as I have said before, there is not a single senior government figure in the world today who does not know the truth about the Wolfowitz plan and the 9-11 attacks (largely thanks to the "out-of-office" work of BND colleagues who refused to let the truth be buried). It is likely now that more operatives and former operatives from other intelligence agencies, with the help of our colleagues at "The Library", will step forward into the public limelight with more information and so pressure their political masters, such as Tony Blair, to admit the truth about 9-11 and then resign or go to prison. Sadly, the deception continues and we are about to enter a whole new lethal game, a place where the human race has never been before. Just as it was in August 2001, we are now seeing a similar pattern of events taking place. Incidentally, not only in the intercepts we have been making for quite some time and the information we are gaining in field opertions, but also in the behaviour of the financial markets and the rhetoric put out by the Bush administration and juniors within the ranks of the Wolfowitz network. Of course, we have made this information available to select officials in authority, but once again inactivity and fear of the Metsada and the Wolfowitz network has paralysed any rational thinking in the United States. How is it that a superpower such as America has allowed itself to be controlled by such a small group of extremely selfish and evil men? I have had the great honour of working with real Americans and I can honestly say that I have never been able to find fault with any of them. I rate real Americans as the most trustworthy partners, colleagues and friends anyone in my position can have, but I think they have allowed themselves to be deluded and deceived for so long that they are no longer able to see who their real enemies are. It is now 23.08 CET and I still have a number of things I would like to impart to you this evening, but I must first wait for my technical partner Felix because I would like to discuss with him some legal details.

German guy 12/17/2004 5:24 pm EST Incidentally, by way of introduction, my partner Felix is chief coordinator in our group for all intercepts. Not only is he fluent in Japanese and Chinese, his English is much natural than mine. In fact, it was his idea to come here and he wrote the opening message in this discussion and edited another message too. This evening he has been to the Weihnachtsmarkt and has probably been drinking some Glühwein, which if you have ever been here you will know that you must stay away from it (especially in the cold). Unfortunately he has just become a father of a baby girl, which means to me that he will spend less time in his van driving around our cities bluejacking various embassies, consulates and "safe addresses". :-(

German guy 12/17/2004 6:17 pm EST I have just taken the chance to skim through some of the comments here, and thus it is plain to me that our old friends are up to their usual tricks, even in internet forums. Their numbers are few, but they make a lot of noise when they feel threatened. I am also aware that many of you have set before me a huge palette of bewildering questions that I simply cannot hope to answer to your satisfaction in the time we have allowed ourselves. I therefore ask you to forgive me and please do not think that I am not being polite. I know that one of the most frequent questions has been about ID verification. Well, strange as it may seem, even former operatives don´t go around with big neon letters glued to their foreheads flashing from B to N to D or even impart as much personal detail as I have to you this evening. If it helps in no small part to settle some of your queries, then I am quite happy for the moderator of this forum to confirm my location by running a check on my IP (although he or she does not have permission to publish that IP!). I use four different operating systems to access the internet: a hacker-friendly Microschrott Betriebssystem (yes, I live dangerously sometimes) with a US browser, FreeBSD, Knoppix (a German distro) and SuSe Linux (another German product). The moderator also has permission to confirm the Germanness of my machine. That probably won´t be enough to satisfy our above-mentioned friends, but what can I do? Besides, I am not here to build long-term relationships and father any children you may wish to have with me. This was a very unusual decision on our part, but it seems we live in very unusual times. Back to business. We have to decide tomorrow whether we need to release this to other groups on the internet (in French, Japanese, Italian and Spanisch) and we do so with our eyes on the clock. So time is pressing on. I hope my colleague arrives shortly before I publish another message. If not, I shall do so over the weekend. It is now 00.18 CET and time for me to brew some Lavazza.

[milkncookies]

Thanks ffj. :>)

[EternalHope]

This is the main reason I characterized his (her) posts as smacking of Lyndon LaRouche. However, he manages to weave many seemingly disconnected facts and pieces of information into a very plausible story.

Entertaining maybe, but plausible? No.

This is simply a rehash of old conspiracy theories rampant since 9-11, with an impending apocalypse as an attention getter. It offers absolutely no proof of anything, and the claims are absurd. Why should anyone believe anything he says?

[SlowBoat407]

The beauty of it all is, even if (let's pray) nothing happens on 12/27, GG has still gotten the whole conspiracy theory, complete with mysterious names and convenient anti-semitism, out in the marketplace of ideas. When 12/28 dawns like any other day, he can say that it was his exposure of the plot that foiled it, but "beware", they are planning for another time....

I like the KISS philosophy myself. If a bomb blows up, and somebody says they did it, take him at his word. If an explanation requires too many leaps of faith or too much belief in the "inherent evil of Jews," file it away for laughs later.

I hope I'm right.

[milkncookies]

Thanks for your reply and "opinion". However, what I'm really looking for are responses with factual information to dispel this person's claims. Your responses have to this point been no different than that of German Guy's. In other words, what you've offered up so far cannot be proven either. :>)

Maybe you could offer some factual evidence as to why it's not "plausible". Or what information you are using to base your opinion that he is simply rehashing "old conspiracy theories" on. This is the kind of information I am looking for.

[milkncookies]

Would you care to come to Houston to wait with me for the passage of the 27th" :>) Really, I am not sold on this person's story, but I would feel a lot better with some intelligent replies that include "FACTUAL" information to dispel this probable but not entirely impossible) hoax rather than opinions or emotional sentiments. Sorry if I'm asking too much.

[EternalHope]

Of course my responses have not been any different than "German Guys". That's exactly the point. All he has is a story, with no facts. Why should ANYONE (including me and including you) feel obligated to document allegations as flimsy as this? The Mossad allegations have been around since 9-11. I have personally read them, from a number of similar sources.

If you want another example, the printer allegation is absurd. My undergraduate degree was in EE, and I can tell you for a fact that a modification such as GG claims would be easy to catch (the retransmission of the data, alone, would be a breeze to pick up). The printers he references could not possibly have stored enough information to retransmit later either. In other words, pure BS aimed at sounding technical to anybody who does not have a technical background.

Gotta go do some work. (I'm self employed, and my boss is a slave driver.)

[SlowBoat407]

Fair enough, but it's harder to prove a negative than a positive.That's where philosophy becomes important. The only connection I can find with Houston comes from some interpretation we were doing here on some lines that showed up in an Islamic forum. We were speculating that they suggested an attack in Houston, but, we couldn't pin down the time frame.

[milkncookies]

EternalHope, you asked "Why should ANYONE (including me and including you) feel obligated to document allegations as flimsy as this?"

I cannot answer for you, but I believe I stated in my original post why I decided to post his allegations. If you cannot find it in my original post, let me know and I will restate my reasons.

Your comments regarding the printer allegations are close to what I'm looking for but you offer no information or facts to support your claims. Please do so if you do not mind. This is the kind of information I am looking for.

TIA

Perhaps the idea was to let it get sucked through the intakes and into the steam generator, where the T/P would ignite the the phosphorus... I believe Surry is a PWR. Nonetheless, I doubt it would make it past the traveling screens at the intake structure.

This morning I found this email in my Jihad Watch inbox:

i want u brothrs to continue your holy jihad adainst the coward jews, they will defeat and u will win this battle. Merajuddin From afghanistan,


That's all it said, but that was enough. Of course, Merajuddin is not the first Muslim jihadist to mistake this site for one that is pro-jihad. It's interesting, however, to get a renewed indication that this mindset is alive and well -- even as Merajuddin must jostle for space in my inbox with indignant blinkered Westerners who lecture me for not knowing that jihad is a spiritual struggle within the soul of the believer.

I wanted to send you all a Christmas Card, but my attorney advised me to send the following:

Sending this a little bit early since I may be out of town and away from a 'puter when it gets closer to that wonderful day.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral, celebration of some sort of holiday on or about the winter solstice, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all, and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2005, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "America" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, or sexual orientation of the wishee.

If you choose, please spread the joy, or other emotion of your choice.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[SlowBoat407]

How dare you impose your wishes on me!!!

[Myrddin]

First, welcome back.

The assertion that embassies are using Bluetooth and 802.11 wireless networks on computers carrying classified information is ludicrous. The standard procedure for those boxes is to use a Tempest computer in a Faraday cage. Any networking applied to the computers is performed with optically coupled Ethernet. Outside communications use a piece of military crytpo gear that has been keyed from a piece of punched paper tape. Classified systems are NEVER permitted to be connected to the internet.
