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.

Thanks MamaDearest.

Oh no, that means that if it is a signal we are already several months closer to go. Sorry, I sometimes have to laugh.

What? Where? When?

If my memory is working, if a nuclear bomb fell on San Diego, the fallout was expected to wipe out Phoenix and possibly Tucson, something to do with air currents and mountain ranges.

The parts for the device are no problem, UPS always smiles at me while unloading my boxes. They do not know if the 50# box is cornmeal or something evil.

The large shipping containers come in un-checked, are loaded on a truck or train and away they go.....they are maybe 40' long.

If planned well, load it on the truck and park it where you want it to go off.

During the Cold War, Kingman was the Evacuation point for Phoenix and Tucson 170 and 250 miles away, we did have a basement storage room with crackers and blankets at the Court House, but no longer, as that has been the Map Dept for the past 20 years.

On the west coast, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
also Portland and Seattle are all Navy or/and shipping points.

Las Vegas of course.

But any state Capitol will do a lot of damage, think of the records to the state being destroyed.

You, can't get a birth certificate, marriage license (copy) or prove you own your car and home, if the records are gone.

The when is when some fool, looks at the stars and moon long enough to decide that the date is to be _____________.

Everyone thinks of Wall Street as being the goal, but there is a chance that almost any place with records stored is a target.

I grew up thinking that New Jersey was where all the Jewish folks lived, who spent their winters in Florida.

Not that it was a bad thing, just that it was the way of where they lived. Today, I know better.

If I have to pick one, then it is to be very afraid for where your children are. Concerts, schools, sports, and the
Malls......

Second, might be shipping or the Court Houses.

It is difficult to guess what an insane jihadi will do.

I don't remember from which jihadi site I found this exactly, but they just plant images on sites like this one.

Opening Up the CIA
By TIMOTHY J. BURGER
Aug. 07, 2005


In what experts say is a welcome nod to common sense, the CIA, having spent billions over the years on undercover agents, phone taps and the like, plans to create a large wing in the spookhouse dedicated to sorting through various forms of data that are not secret--such as research articles, religious tracts, websites, even phone books--but yet could be vital to national security. Senior intelligence officials tell TIME that CIA Director Porter Goss plans to launch by Oct. 1 an "open source" unit that will greatly expand on the work of the respected but cash-strapped office that currently translates foreign-language broadcasts and documents like declarations by extremist clerics. The budget, which could be in the ballpark of $100 million, is to be carefully monitored by John Negroponte, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), who discussed the new division with Goss in a meeting late last month. "We will want this to be a separate, identifiable line in the CIA program so we know precisely what this center has in terms of investment, and we don't want money moved from it without [Negroponte's] approval," said a senior official in the DNI's office.

Critics have charged in the past that despite the proven value of open-source information, the government has tended to give more prominence to reports gained through cloak-and-dagger efforts. One glaring example: the CIA failed in 1998 to predict a nuclear test in India, even though the country's Prime Minister had campaigned on a platform promising a robust atomic-weapons program.

"If it doesn't have the SECRET stamp on it, it really isn't treated very seriously," says Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit. The idea of an open-source unit didn't gain traction until a White House commission recommended creating one last spring. Utilizing it will require "cultural and attitudinal changes," says the senior DNI official. Sure, watching TV and listening to the radio may not sound terribly sexy, but, says Scheuer, "there's no better way to find out what Osama bin Laden's going to do than to read what he says."

Jihadist Forum Member Provides Instructions for Several Explosives
By SITE Institute


August 9, 2005



An explosives manual was recently posted to a password-protected al-Qaeda affiliated message board, providing detailed instructions to build Molotov cocktails, burning bottles, pipe bombs, fruit bombs, mines, and “explosive sand.” Explosive sand is explained to be a “sea sand,” that in Jordan, is known as: “Raml Sweiler.” For each explosive, the author lists the ingredients, step-by-step processes for preparation, and suggestions for their use. For example, concerning mines, the author states that a mine should be placed in the dirt with little exposure, so that “when a jeep or person pauses and presses the spring, it goes down and it presses the matches in the black striking paper.”

Don't let the Jihadi watch any Carmen Miranda movies. They may get ideas.

[Oorang]

Well, if we come across a jihad forum using the code term "Carmen Miranda" we'll know what they are referring to.

LOL!

Do you have a url for any of the sites with this map on it?

Romulus = "founder of Rome"

There's that ancient name 'thing' again.

Detroit was on the hit list, so was Rome...

[nw_arizona_granny]

Your second link is interesting and should be posted with this link, also see the 'Investigations' link, there is lots to read here.

The first link, my eyes does not read that page. But I can guess that it says NO...LOL

[penguino]

Sorry, Cindy, that's the only address I have for that one.

Thanks for pointing out the Haganah site. Very interesting - it looks like they hide videos too.

[Cindy]

Yep and thanks.
