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

LNG ship attack a potential disaster
Full Story

WASHINGTON - A terrorist attack on a tanker loaded with liquefied natural gas could cause massive damage a third of a mile away and could send a vapor cloud billowing more than 1.5 miles, government scientists say.

With the the nation clamoring for more natural gas, policy-makers are trying to figure out how to safely import large quantities of liquefied natural gas or LNG.

New law allows deportation of naturalized US citizens

Finally, the law is growing some teeth. It's high time the US had some "bite" toward those who have gained citizenship under false pretenses or who commit treason or other crimes after doing so.

"To move the military" was Ike's excuse for the Interstate System. I understand a lot of the design specs for the Interstates were DOD (minimum heights for overpasses, strenght of road surface,. . .)

January 6, 2005


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "U.S. Representative Henry Waxman and Senator Kent Conrad said regulators have discovered animal material in Canadian feed over the last 15 months, issuing import alerts to block products from 17 companies.


Recent inspections have revealed seven Canadian feed mills had "major non-compliance issues" and three were failing to prevent contamination of cattle feed, they said."

"Kuwaiti 'cell' planned to hit joint exercise; 'Two to three' still held"



ARTICLE SNIPPET: "KUWAIT CITY (Agencies): Staunch US ally Kuwait uncovered a cell in its army that was plotting to attack American and other foreign forces in the country, the defence minister said Tuesday, amid suspicions the group could be linked to al-Qaeda. “It was the coalition forces and certainly the American army targetted because it is the largest,” Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah told AFP. “The number of those (still) arrested are two to three people,” he said, a day after Kuwait announced it was questioning an undisclosed number of soldiers planning to attack “friendly forces” in the country. Kuwaiti authorities are investigating “suspicions” that the soldiers could be linked to al-Qaeda, the minister said, declining at this stage to associate the suspects with the terror network."

"Extremist Group Raises Fears in Indonesia"


Thursday, January 06, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BANDA ACEH, Indonesia — An extremist Islamic group with alleged Al Qaeda (search) links has set up a relief camp on Indonesia's tsunami-stricken Sumatra island, raising concerns it could stir up sentiment against U.S. and Australian troops helping distribute aid.


The Laskar Mujahidin (search) group posted a sign at its camp that read — in English — "Islamic Law Enforcement." Its members said Thursday they have been collecting corpses, distributing food and providing Islamic teaching for refugees here in predominantly Muslim Aceh province."

Homeland Security Citizen Corps Forms Partnerships with the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010
January 4, 2005


Secretary Tom Ridge today announced a new affiliation between Citizen Corps and The American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary to help raise public awareness about the importance of emergency preparedness and volunteer service. Along with Secretary Ridge, Thomas P. Cadmus, National Commander of The American Legion, and Sandi Dutton, National President of the American Legion Auxiliary, were present to sign the respective agreements.


“The American Legion and the Legion’s Auxiliary devote countless hours to serving their country and their communities,” said Ridge. “With the help of these two organizations, the Department of Homeland Security’s Citizen Corps will expand its efforts to educate, train and prepare all Americans.”


Through these partnerships, American Legion Posts and American Legion Auxiliary Units across the nation will assist in developing local Citizen Corps Councils to involve citizens in preparedness efforts. This affiliation will also focus on engaging America’s youth in hometown security, elevating Flag Day as a day of citizenship and emergency preparedness, and providing support to Veteran’s Affairs Hospitals in emergency preparedness efforts.


At their 2004 National Convention, The American Legion passed a resolution to become an affiliate of Citizen Corps. National Commander Cadmus pledged the continuing commitment of his organization stating, “Supporting the Department’s efforts to engage citizens in hometown security is a natural fit for The American Legion. Our members have all seen active military duty defending our country and strongly believe in the mission to be prepared on the home front too.”  Echoing this sentiment, Sandi Dutton, National President of the American Legion Auxiliary, also expressed her support. “The women of the Auxiliary are committed to improving the welfare of the community by helping all citizens be prepared for any emergency.”


Citizen Corps is the Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide grass-roots effort that actively involves Americans in making communities safer, stronger and better prepared for all emergencies. The American Legion serves as an advocate for American veterans, a friend of the U.S. military, a sponsor of community-based programs for young people, and a spokesman for patriotic values. With 2.7 million members and nearly 15,000 posts worldwide, the American Legion is the nation’s largest veterans group. The American Legion Auxiliary is the largest patriotic women’s service organization in the world, with nearly 1 million members. The organization sponsors volunteer programs on the national and local levels, focusing on three major areas: veterans, young people and the community.
