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!

I'm still several hundred posts behind and reading frantically to catch up, but I had to comment on this re: cross-infections between humans and animals. New Year's Day I had to take my 1-year-old Schipperke to the emergency vet with a nasty eye infection, sneezing, & congestion. I started to get sick New Year's night, went down-hill from there and went to the emergency room myself Monday night, fearful I had pneumonia. Turns out I have a nasty case of bronchitis with secondary sinus infection. The dog is much better after antiobiotic ointment for his eyes, but I'm on antibiotics for 14 days. I found the timing to be strange.

Then we have the US welcoming former members of USSR into NATO.

I was on a "business" trip to deliver new nuclear planning software to SHAPE (NATO) in 1992. The company put me up at a nice hotel called "The Moathouse". It is a couple miles from SHAPE. A buffet breakfast is included in the daily lodging fee. Imagine my surprise when the breakfast dining room was full of Russian officers in dress uniforms. I was greatful to be dressed in ordinary clothing so I didn't "stand out".

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman


This information is current as of today, Thu Jan 06 2005 01:41:15 GMT-0800.


 


Israel, the West Bank and Gaza


January 5, 2005


This Public Announcement is being issued to alert U.S. citizens to security concerns during the upcoming Palestinian elections, especially in the West Bank and Gaza. This Public Announcement expires on January 18, 2005.


In light of the existing travel warning and the continuing unsettled security situation in the West Bank and Gaza, the Department of State remains concerned for the safety of Americans traveling in the West Bank and Gaza and continues to warn U.S. citizens to depart Gaza immediately and to defer travel to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. We are particularly concerned that some Palestinian extremist elements, especially in Gaza, may attempt acts of violence against international election observers in an effort to undermine the Palestinian Authority’s ability to conduct free and fair elections on January 9, 2005. American citizens are urged to carefully review the existing travel warning for those areas.


Current information on travel and security in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza are available at http://travel.state.gov. This website lists: the Travel Warning for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza; the Middle East and North Africa Public Announcement; the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement; and the Consular Information Sheet for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

"Palestinians Using More Children, Women for Terrorism"
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
January 06, 2005

[crabbie]

So sorry to hear about Aunt Clara's passing. Prayers for her soul and your loss.

[bored at work]

CINDY SAYS, "SEE A CRIME IN PROGRESS? See something suspicious...just doesn't seem quite right? Call 911 and report it NOW."

All this talk about laser pointers. Last summer I was hangin out with some neighbors outside. The neighbors cat was laying on the grass when I noticed a red laser dot on him.

Myself, the neighbor guy, his wife and newborn were right next to this cat with the red dot. We all saw the dot but nobody except me showed any concern.

We were in a place surrounded by trees. The position of the dot on the cat indicated the source could only have come from one direction and I couldn’t see anyone there. After trying to pinpoint the source I looked at the cat and the dot was still there.

The dot was dead still, like the source was on a tripod or something.

Hind sight is 20/20 I know.

I was disturbed later about this, thinking that it could have been more than just a laser pointer. Maybe a laser sight. Would have called the authorities if I knew just six short months ago what I know now!
