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 - Daily Terrorism Threat

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?

Witness reports:




Witnesses said the plane hit a highway light pole along the Beltway on the city's south side. "There was a loud flash, like lightning—then debris started scattering all about the road," said Jack Kaufman, whose mini-van was pelted by falling objects. "We just barely avoided getting badly hurt."

Part of the jet's wing was sheared off by the impact with the light pole.

Kaufman's wife said it looked "like a movie" as the jet careened into a field. "Big pieces of concrete came through the windshield," she said. "We had three children in the car with us; thank God nothing hit them."

The Beltway was littered with debris from the crash and was shut down during the morning rush hour.

Roger Smith, a spokesman for the Houston Airport System, said while visibility was not ideal at the time of the crash, all operations at Hobby Airport were normal.

"The pilot of this plane was talking with the personnel in the [control] tower," Smith said. "At no time did the pilot say he was in distress." An alert was issued after the tower lost contact with the pilot.

Remember that tesla toy the military had that could confuse the pilot into thinking up was down? Maybe somebody raided the toybox?

Of course, if a nuke did go off in a US city, the likely culprit would probably be quite apparent...

Not to the left. Since everybody hates us anybody could have done it...

Towards the end of this article it says Bush knew the crew well...so I'm assuming it was the real crew? Or it sounds like he has information that is leading him to believe that to be the case.

Former President Bush scheduled to fly on jet that crashed

12:33 PM CST on Monday, November 22, 2004


Associated Press


HOUSTON -- Former President George Bush has suspended a trip to Ecuador because the jet he was going to use crashed Monday morning in Houston.


AP

President Bush spoke last week at the dedication of the Clinton Presidential Library.
Three crewmembers died in the accident during foggy weather.

The private jet clipped a light pole and crashed on the Beltway at Cullen near Hobby Airport.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig says the Gulfstream flight originated at Dallas Love Field.

The plane’s registered owner is Jet Place of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Former President Bush, who lives in Houston, was scheduled to take part in a business conference in Ecuador.

According to the former President's spokesman, he was on the way to Hobby Airport when he learned a plane had crashed. He didn't know the plane was his until he arrived.

President Bush had flown with the three crewmembers before and he released the following statement: "I am deeply saddened to learn of the plane crash this morning. I have flown with the crew before and knew them well. I join in sending my heartfelt condolences to each and every member of their families."

The FBI is sending an investigative team to Houston as a courtesy, but FBI spokesman Bob Doguim says there is no reason to believe foul play was involved in the crash.

EMP would be obvious to all and would have stopped everything. The tesla toy that reverses ones senses is an aimed device used specifically on planes from what I have read.
