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!

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.

"Castro and Chavez blast US"
news.com.au ^ | 22 August 2005

Posted on 08/21/2005 7:29:51 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CUBAN President Fidel Castro and Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez made a joint television appearance overnight in which Chavez accused Washington of destroying the world.

The two Latin American leaders, wearing olive military uniforms, talked for five hours and 40 minutes in a special broadcast of Chavez' weekly radio and television show, "Hello Mr. President," from Cuba's western Pinar del Rio province.

The two leaders, in the program televised in their respective nations, brushed off US charges that their Governments exercised a destabilising influence in Latin America.

"US imperialism represents the greatest threat weighing on the world," Chavez said, calling the United States the "great destabiliser" and "the destroyer of the world."

Chavez also touted socialism over capitalism.

"Capitalism privatises health care and education," he said. "We are building the socialism of the 21st century."

The Venezuelan leader travelled to Cuba on the weekend to attend the graduation of 1,600 medical students from across Latin America who had studied here for free. Taking a sarcastic tone, Castro told Chavez: "You already know, we cannot make a student study because that would be destabilising, we cannot invite patients to get medical care because that is destabilising."

The pair travelled to the town of Sandino in a jeep with the top down, passing by throngs of people waving Venezuelan and Cuban flags."

Yes, that's all we can do. I just hope it doesn't get swept under the rug like so many other plane crashes that had conflicting info. Too many of those come to mind to even mention.

I knew that a gas attack was supposed to have been thwarted. Was there another WMD threat beyond that?

The original painting of the Madonna and Child that hung above the Altar in the Chapel is supposed to still be there behind the panelling directly behind where the Speaker sits. (I don't know if it was removed when they did an expansion to the Commons, but I think not.)

That commercial is a prime example of what is wrong now. Put on by the SPLC of course!

[MamaDearest]

We make no distinction between the parts of the earth of the homeland. [i.e. the whole of Palestine is ours]."

Accountability by Palestine concerning forthcoming terrorist acts is hopefully part of the terms for vacating the Gaza Strip? Common sense dictates Hamas has no intention of being satiated until all of Israel belongs to Palestine.

Prayers for Israel and all who live there - may God protect each of you.

[cibco]

Sorry, wrong thread.

Special Dispatch Series - No. 960

Lebanese Terrorist-Turned-Researcher Anis Al-Naqqash on Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV: In Support of Terror Attacks in London, the U.S., and Arab Countries
Anis Al-Naqqash, a Lebanese researcher and former terrorist, was involved in the December 21, 1975 attack on an OPEC oil ministers' conference in Vienna in which three were killed and 70 were taken hostage, flown to Algeria, and released for ransom. [1] He was also involved in the failed assassination attempt in France against former Iranian prime minister under the Shah Shapour Bakhtiar, July 18, 1980, in which two were killed. Al-Naqqash was sentenced in France to life in prison; however, he was released a decade later.

Al-Naqqash appeared August 3, 2005 in an interview on Hizbullah's Al-Manar TV calling the U.S. "the enemy of Arabs, of Muslims, and of humanity." (To view this clip, visit http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=798 )

Earlier, Al-Naqqash on Al-Jazeera TV, June 6, 2004, in a debate on the use of violence in the Middle East, in which he was introduced as "a writer and political analyst who is an expert in this field," made statements supporting violent attacks against the U.S. and strikes on oil facilities and companies. (To view this clip, visit http://memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=101 )

Thanks DC for the links.

Yes, the search for information is never ending, and reaches out in so many directions.

There is no way to know the truth or if there is a real truth to find.

Glad to have you, researchers are welcome here.

I just saw the maps...very interesting! How much credence do you give this or is it under the curiosity heading in your mind? What exactly is he basing his calculations (I noted the naval plate maps.)

Stan's data is objective. He processes normal temperature values and develops the over/under yellow/blue display from that info. Beyond that level of purely objective processing, Stan offers his opinion that areas of bright blue bordering on areas of bright yellow are areas of higher probability for seismic activity. He generally draws a circle around items of concern. His differential temperature maps correlated nicely to the area of the tsunami and also some recent earthquakes near Japan. It's just another tool in the quest to find some set of relationships that gives some warning before seismic activity occurs. Nobody has the market cornered with a 100% reliable approach yet.

LOL.....

We are not a secret, I have lost track of the posts, but it is about 150,000.

I don't suppose that you have a secret love of railroads and trains?

No, I don't know why, but they are on my mind tonight.

Keep thinking that someone should be checking the accidents, as I saw one the other day we missed.

If there is someone else watching them, forgive me for butting in.......

No, I am not in charge of this, just being a nosy ole granny.

Have fun, since it is already too late for you.......LOL
