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
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
Expert: Al-Qaida Has Presence In South Florida
Full Story

MIRAMAR, Fla. -- Despite the massive federal, state and local law enforcement effort to stop terrorists from entering the United States, there is no strong evidence of how well it is working.

Many experts are concerned that there are plenty of terrorists or sympathizers already in the country who have been here for years. Some are even citizens.

The Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers were the first wave and now the increasing number of arrests seems to signal a second wave of terrorism in South Florida.

Granny don't worry about China LOL the Russian Mafia have been hacking our computers since the cold war was over....this is an old article again! LOL

US’s special services, the FBI in particular, constantly warns Americans of the greatest danger of mafia groups from the former Soviet Union, Interactive Week reports.

Russian hackers crack commercial sites, steal credit card numbers, and launch destructive computer viruses; at that, the Russian mafia is becoming more and more experienced in computer crimes.

According to statistics published by the FBI, organized criminal groups from Eastern Europe managed to steal over one million credit card numbers and crack Internet sites of over 40 companies in 20 US states. The Russian mafia is mentioned at that as the main threat to development of American e-commerce.

Extract from Red Mafia by Robert Friedman: “The scale of crimes committed by the Russian mafia is enormous. Murky deals involving diamonds, gasoline, medical insurance, and drug traffic have exceeded $1 billion in total. It is an unprecedented sum! There are 30 syndicates of the Russian mafia operating in North America; they are concentrated in 17 towns at least.”

When I read about the bomb shelters in China, it made me think of tunnels....

The Chinese in the west have dug tunnels for the past 2 hundred years.

In the early days of mining and settling the west, they were singled out for attacking and all manners of evil things were done to them.

Even in Kingman, in old downtown there was still a tunnel said to have been dug by the Chinese.

We have the past couple of years did a lot of research on tunnels and caves.

Calpernia has the best files on the caves.

Turning Off the Tap of Terrorist Funding
A briefing by Rachel Ehrenfeld
September 19, 2003

Furthermore, terrorist organizations have created links with the Russian Mafia, Colombian drug cartel, and a number of other international criminal organizations. These links of politics, money, geography, and arms create a mutually beneficial relationship that allows both the terrorists and the criminal organizations to prosper. Drug trafficking, an estimated $2 trillion market per year, has become the best weapon for terrorists. Beyond helping terrorists to finance their wide range of illegal activities, the drug market has also allowed terrorist organizations to undermine targeted countries both politically and economically, while at the same time creating a crisis in the targeted country's public health system. Furthermore, the illegal drug trade has helped Islamist terrorist organizations recruit new members by citing drug use as an indication of Western degeneracy, and a sign that such corrupt societies need to be destroyed.

Funding From Our Own Backyard
Terrorists also fund their campaigns by more direct channels, specifically through the complacency of Western governments, and more specifically, through the United Nations. In 2002, the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) distributed $521.7 million to the Palestinian Authority. Most of this money did not make its way into the pockets of the Palestinian people, as the average Palestinian continued to live on one to two dollars a day. Rather, large portions of this money ended up in the pockets of the Palestinian leaders and their terrorist associates. While the Palestinian Arab refugees constitute 17% of worldwide refugees, they receive more than one third of the annual refugee funds allocated by the UN, with roughly 30% of this $350 million coming from the United States. The staff of UNRWA, the organization that oversees and facilitates the aid to Palestinians, is staffed by so many Hamas members that it is nicknamed the "Hamas Union." In the UN refugee camps themselves, large amounts of weapons and bomb materials have been found, including facilities to create rockets that can reach major Israeli cities. These weapons have been constructed under the watchful eye of the UN, and with money given to the UN under the guise of aiding impoverished refugees.

Pakistani forces tied to Taliban are hiding bin Laden, CIA thinks


The first published interview with new CIA Director Porter Goss, which appeared this past week in Time magazine, contained a bombshell that exploded with barely any notice.

To the ritual question -- when will we get Osama bin Laden? -- Goss gave a far from ritual answer.

``That is a question that goes far deeper than you know,'' Goss began. ``We have some weak links'' that make it impossible for now to get bin Laden, he explained, pointing to ``the very difficult question of dealing with sanctuaries in sovereign states.''

Sounds like you know where he is, the interviewer pressed. ``I have an excellent idea of where he is,'' Goss responded.

The CIA boss was delivering a clear message to the ``weak link'' -- Pakistan and its military ruler, Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

News Release


June 27, 2005

RECENT OPERATIONS NET GANG ARRESTS AND DEPORTATIONS
More Than 400 Dangerous Gang Members Arrested Since Launch of Gang Initiative


WASHINGTON, D.C.-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested eight known gang members in four cities and removed nine others in recent days. These arrests are the latest under Operation Community Shield, a national initiative aimed at disrupting and dismantling violent gangs. The arrests bring the total arrested to more than 400 since March 2005.

Over the past week arrests occurred in San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta and Detroit. The removals occurred from the Buffalo, NY Federal Detention Facility. All eight of the individuals arrested have been charged with being illegally present in the United States and are being detained pending their immigration court hearings.

The eight gang members deported from Buffalo were arrested around the country and staged at the facility as ICE completed the repatriation process. Their criminal activity included manslaughter, criminal weapons possession, robbery, assault and attempted robbery.

William Cleary, Buffalo Detention and Deportation Field Office Director, said that the nine individuals removed were gang members from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic. They belonged to gangs such as MS-13, the "Mexican Boys" of the La Gran Familia, the "Big Kings"of SUR-13, "Esquadron," La Gran Raza," and "Trinitarios."

"Every time ICE removes a dangerous and brutal gang member from the country our towns and cities become safer," Cleary said. "Even if the person removed is a low level member of a vicious criminal organization which profits from drug trafficking, prostitution and other violent activities."

The Russian Mafia appears to be into any all things evil.

With them, have you noticed that it links a lot of articles that include cuba and Iran?

this is one that I tried:

http://www.google.com/search?q=russian+mafia+north+korea+hacker+connection&btnG=Search&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&biw=

About a year ago, there was talk that N. Korea had 400 computer hackers trained and ready to go.

I posted part of a report earlier, that talked of Cuba and the Russian Mafia and computer hacking, it starts with "Conclusion".

WOW this makes me mad for what good that is worth....from your link

And one more thing, please do not think that Russia would warn us about a coming terrorist attack unless it has something in it for them. Nemets wrote in Newsmax.com on April 17, 2003 this following quote by an influential Russian: "In the case of success in Iraq, Americans will feel themselves the rulers of the world. To support this position, they will have to repeat similar operations in some countries about every two years. The best decision for Russia would be to give America an opportunity to drink this cup to the bottom. Let them stick in Iraq, in other points of the world, preferably as far from Russia as possible. Let's wait this moment out and then use the American weakness. Then we'll recover Great Russia by absorbing Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan." The quote is from Vitaly Tretyakov, former editor of Nezavisimaya Gazeta and a member of Putin's "close intellectual group". Nemets writes how other specific members of this group have all recently talked of using American weakness, and bogging down American forces.
