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.

Was Bomber's "New York" Shirt A Message?
Full Story

It's hardly a unique fashion statement for a mass transit rider: a Yankees-style cap, and a "New York" sweat shirt.

But the New York Police Department is teaming with British authorities to determine whether those items were worn by suspects in the London terror cases to send a "purposeful message" to the city, according to an NYPD officials.

David Cohen, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence, raised the concern earlier this week at a security briefing for business leaders at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

This is long, but clearly states muslim goals. From the link:

"The liberals in America seem hell-bent on handing not only Iraq over to the Islamic terrorists, but America as well. We must be politically correct at all times, hurt no ones feelings,

" ... and never, ever, imply that terrorists are Muslims...

"The Council on American/Islamic Relations (CAIR) is directing American Muslims to spread Islam across America so that when the time comes to replace our Constitution with the Quran, Americans will accept it without question.

"Americans should realize that there is no such thing as “moderate Muslims.” Sadly, they just don’t seem to exist.

" ... Muslims who witness the killing and say nothing are not moderate they are guilty by association.

"There are many Muslims who believe all the suicide bombings are actually carried out by Jews to make Islam look bad. Almost all agree Israel must be destroyed and every Jew killed.

"The liberal media are right there beside these blind Muslims, declaring that only a handful of “radical” Muslims are dangerous.

"Yet, lurking in the minds of all Muslims seems to be the desire to help Islam achieve its ultimate goal of world domination.

"What most people don’t realize is that there is no such thing as a civilian in Islam.

"A civilian who refuses to accept Islam peacefully becomes the enemy. There is no middle ground. There is no “living together in peace” to a Muslim. Most of their teachings instruct Muslims not to make friends with, nor associate with, anyone but other Muslims.

"These quotes from the 1993 publication of the Islamic Assembly of North America, “Answers to common questions to new Muslims,” make it quite clear to new converts whom their friends are and are not.

" It teaches them: “There is never any brotherhood between Muslims and Christians. Brotherhood must be based on faith.”... and … it is obligatory upon a Muslim to be free of the people of infidelity and to hate them for the sake of Allah.”

"These quotes are not from Muslims in the heart of the Middle East, but Muslims who live among us.

"These Muslims have been taught that anyone not a Muslim is beneath them.

"They are taught that someday, they will be free of the “infidels.” The very act of calling a Christian a friend is a sin. ... Islam knows that killing a friend would be difficult, so friendship with a nonbeliever is forbidden.

"The enemy intends on winning, not just Iraq but the world. ... The terrorists will kill every man, woman, or child that gets in their way. ... There will be no treaties, no negotiations, and no sitting down and having a chat.

"If we do not kill them, they will kill us.

"That should be clear enough for even a liberal to understand."

"Germany attacks US on Iran threat"

Iran restarted nuclear research this week

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has warned the US to back away from the possibility of military action against Iran over its nuclear programme.
His comments come a day after President Bush reiterated that force remained an option but only as a last resort.

Iran has resumed what it says is a civilian nuclear research programme but which the West fears could be used to develop nuclear arms.

Germany, France and the UK have led efforts to end the crisis peacefully.


Let's take the military option off the table. We have seen it doesn't work
Gerhard Schroeder

Schroeder launches poll bid
Mr Schroeder's rejection of force came at the official launch of his party's election campaign.

The BBC's Ray Furlong - reporting from Hanover - says there was an echo of his last election campaign three years ago, when his steadfast opposition to the use of force against Iraq helped get him re-elected."

"Americans Happier than Germans: How is that Possible?"

(By Ray D.)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "It is a land "increasingly plagued by self-doubts" and in the midst of a downward spiral. It is a land drowning in guns, brutal crime and social injustice. It is a land that has become "as scary as Osama bin Laden" embroiled in a hopeless civil war overseas. It is a land that lied to the world for oil and unbridled greed.

This land is an imaginary construct of German media and left-wing politicians. It is the United States seen through the distorted lens of publications such as SPIEGEL and STERN. It is a land in which very little positive ever happens and where the great majority of news are negative horror stories.

The land that many Germans believe they know to be mired in misery, crime and hopelessness, is, in fact, totally foreign to them. The United States that they think they know could never be a land of people more optimistic and content with their lives and more economically prosperous. But that is precisely what it is...

Just yesterday, a superb German blog called Die Achse des Guten cited a Harris Poll, which yielded the following results (emphasis original):

"With a few exceptions, Americans are generally happier with their lives and more optimistic about their future than are Europeans, according to a new Harris Poll. In this survey, Americans were asked some of the same questions that were asked in a recent Eurobarometer survey conducted for the European Union.

The big picture is that Americans are much more satisfied with their lives, much more likely to believe that their lives have improved and much more likely to expect their personal situations will improve than most Europeans.

Fully 58 percent of Americans are very satisfied with their lives compared to the 15-country European average of 31 percent. Fifty-six percent of Americans think that their lives have improved in the last five years compared to 45 percent of Europeans. Furthermore, 65 percent of Americans expect their personal situation will improve in the next five years compared to only 44 percent of Europeans. However, Europe is not at all homogenous and the mood varies widely from country to country.""

"'Early release' for Bali plotter"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Ba'asyir denied any link to Jemaah Islamiyah

Bali bomb plotter Abu Bakar Ba'asyir could have his jail term cut under a general amnesty due to be announced next week, Indonesian media report.
Ba'asyir, who is said to lead the Jemaah Islamiyah militant group, was sentenced to 30 months in March for conspiracy over the 2002 attacks.

He may now have his sentence cut along with 53,000 other inmates to mark 60 years of Indonesian independence.

Relatives of some of the 202 people killed in Bali have voiced dismay.

The shortening of sentences for good behaviour may also apply to another 18 of the 24 Bali bombers but not to those sentenced to death or life imprisonment.

A final appeal by Ba'asyir against his sentence had been rejected only last week.

'Not justice'

A lawyer for Ba'asyir and other bombers defended their right to leave prison early.

[little jeremiah]

Just finished a little drive and listened to NPR (pretty much the only radio station with any "news" I can get in this remote location); I listen to it every few months as it is nauseating propaganda and drivel.

Today that idiot interviewer Robert Seigel (sp?) interviewed two fellows about the legality and/or usefulness of racial, ethnic, or religious profiling. Can't remember the two fellows names, one was from the Heritage Foundation and the other had worked for the Justice Dept and now works for some sort of organization to improve some sort of civil rights and curbs on police brutality or something. So you can guess his POV.

Seigel's opening question went something like this (my paraphrasing):

"How can you profile with any utility when there are terrorsists such as Mohammad Atta and Timothy McVeigh?"

I about had a heart attack.

The idiot who used to work for the Justice Dept (didn't say under what Pres, probably Klinton), said something like this:

"The only thing that will ever help in the fight against terrorism is not profiling, since there are women terrorists such as Chechnya, and white ones like McVeigh. They only thing that will help is for freedom and democracy and fairness to be spread all over the world so that those who hate us won't hate us any more."

I had a second heart attack and started to hurl.

No doubt this fool is also against the war in Iraq which is bringing freedom and democracy to a previous horrid dictarship.

With fools and idiots like this pontificating and influencing any policy, we are destined for more attacks. Fortunately there are others in charge who are not all like this.

The Heritage Foundation guy was a little better, but naturally Seigel focused on the complete loser more. Never a word that the vast majority of terrorists are male, Middle Eastern or Pakistani, Muslim, and between the ages of 20 to 40. Nary a word. And not a mention of immigration, illegal or otherwise.

I think some of these people, in their heart of hearts, want to see destruction.

This is the fact so many are missing out on knowing.

I know several people who are spending more time looking for the 'good muslims' and not the terrorist, who controls the war against us and against the so called ' good muslims'.

when one of the 'good muslims' is speaking, turn off the TV picture and listen to what the voice really says.

[Cindy]

OPINION:

When one can't find a good radio channel; one should turn off their radio.
Works for me.

[little jeremiah]

Thanks. Fits right in with the liberal I heard on the radio. Many liberals are "passive agressive" - they want to see themselves and be seen as peace loving, kind, caring and noble, highly intelligent, the elite of human kind. But so often seething underneath their fake exterior the anger and hatred are visibly bubbling. Liberalism is indeed, as Michael Savage notes, a mental illness.

And I add - when acted upon, becomes criminal insanity.

Liberals refuse to say that real evil exists, but since their very philosophy of life is founded on hypocricy, they call those who say there is evil, evil. We are the evil ones, because we say there is evil.

Naturally the question is raised: Why on earth do liberals not see the Muslim fanatics (and those who are silently complicit) for what they are? We can also look at history and see that Islam is practically nothing but a 1400 year story of rampaging rapine, looting, slaughtering, and forced conversions. Why do liberals not see this? Obviously with their promotion of vice, they would not be exempt from Islamic sharia law.

So what drives the liberals? I can only think it is their hatred towards God, which has stolen their common sense and intelligence, so much that they want to see civilization and lives broken and destroyed. It is said that since those who are envious of God cannot create (since He is the creator, and they don't want to serve Him) they can only, out of envy, try to destroy what He has created.

That explains why they are on the wrong side so often - they hate life, are pro-abortion, pro assisted suicide and euthanasia, pro-terrorism, pro-"gay" rights and the destruction of the natural family and basic human morality.

It is a very dangerous time. The Islamic terrorists are indeed not the only enemies.

[Cindy]

Thanks backhoe for that link.

[little jeremiah]

I very rarely listen to it - sometimes trying to get the weather updates.

I apologize to all for listening to NPR.

[Cindy]

Smiling...

Have a good day little jeremiah.

Thanks! I don't have a TV and so rarely listen to liberals actually speak, it just floored me to hear such blatant and transparent lying propaganda without any counter of truth.

If I didn't have absolute conviction that God is indeed in charge, and that ultimately His will shall prevail, one way or another (although we may not see this with our eyes), I couldn't live another day.

Paul Sperry talked about his book "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington," published by Nelson Current, at the Luxe Hotel. In his book, Paul Sperry argues that Islamic extremists are using the media, government, and U.S. citizens to turn America into an Islamic state. The author explains that Muslim businessmen and scholars who appear to be patriotic are taking advantage of the American way of life to further their agenda of destroying America's constitutional government.

"SF appeals court says gay Mexican man is eligible for asylum"
AP ^ | 8/13/5

Posted on 08/13/2005 12:10:55 PM PDT by SmithL

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "SAN FRANCISCO - A federal appeals court has ruled that an AIDS-afflicted gay man who fled Mexico because he feared persecution is eligible for political asylum in the United States.

Friday's decision by the San Francisco-based Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reverses rulings by immigration courts that ordered the deportation of Jose Boer-Sedano, who claimed a police officer in Mexico had forced him to perform sex acts under threat of being outed or killed.

The three-judge panel said Boer-Sedano, 45, would likely face further abuse and have difficulty getting life-sustaining AIDS medication if he were sent back to Mexico, where the U.S. State Department has found that violence against gays is widespread.

The ruling is the latest by the San Francisco-based court in which it has granted refuge to gay or transgender asylum applicants from Latin America based on evidence of abuse inflicted or condoned by police.

"It really does mean that he'll be safe now," said Boer-Sedano's lawyer, Angela Bean, who said her client was overcome with emotion when he heard the news.

Boer-Sedano, who now works as a waiter and busboy at a San Francisco hotel, was ostracized by family and friends in the town of Tampico in the eastern Mexico state of Tamaulipas, and was later harassed by co-workers because of his homosexuality, the court said."
