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.

No, I didn't see it. Had to buy groceries ~ kind of a nasty habit here at our house, one we just can't seem to break! In a few minutes I'll be listening to Laurie Roth though. I've read some articles about the mortgage loans for illegals in the past couple of weeks. It just plain infuriates me to know our social security is supposedly in such dilemna and yet our government doles it out like it's going out of style to people who have never paid a penny into it and who are here in this country illegally (against written but unenforced immigration laws).

FBI: Man Had Possible Explosive at Airport

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Federal agents arrested a 24-year-old man at an Oklahoma airport Wednesday after finding what appeared to be an explosive device in his bag, authorities said.

Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr. was going through a security checkpoint at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City when a Transportation Security Administration employee noticed the item Wednesday morning, FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson said.

Johnson said it appeared to be an explosive device but couldn't comment on what it was.

Dreyling, who lives in Norman, was taken into federal custody and could face charges related to possessing an explosive device at an airport, Johnson said. He said Dreyling had no known connection to any terrorist groups. (snip)

That burns me up, too, Mama D. To think of how my grandparents had to struggle when they first came here as LEGAL immigrants! But they worked hard and raised and educated many children, who all became TAXPAYERS. Then my parents' generation and my generation did the same thing, and raised more responsible TAXPAYERS.

Then along come the TAXEATERS--illegal and otherwise--who get on the gravy train at our expense.

Damn! It riles me.

people who work in “singing and theaters” and manufacture tobacco or alcohol products should quit their jobs

Strange. I wonder why just those specific lines of work.

[flutters]

Methinks the local gov't is preparing for something. Too many of these reports as of late.

Part of it could also be that the Homeland Security money is finally reaching the smaller towns. Not to long ago, the smaller cities and towns didn't even know how to apply for the money. I'm glad to see these types of exercises taking place.

"Prince of Pot" Arrested by US-Canadian Task Force
Major Distributor of Marijuana Federally Indicted in Seattle, Washington

JUL 29--(Seattle, WA) The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Halifax Police Department arrested MARC EMERY, 47, of Vancouver, BC, today on a warrant issued from the Western District of Washington in Seattle. EMERY is accused of selling millions of dollars of marijuana seeds over the internet, though the mail, and in person to individuals in the United States and across the globe. The DEA, in an investigation of EMERY has traced his seeds to illegal marijuana crops in Indiana, Florida, California, Tennessee, Montana, Virginia, Michigan, New Jersey and North Dakota. An estimated 75% of the seeds EMERY sells are transported to the United States.

“The tentacles of the Mark Emery criminal enterprise reached out across North America to include all 50 United States and Canada,” said Special Agent in Charge Rodney G. Benson of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). “Mr. Emery utilized the internet to sell his marijuana seeds throughout this country to customers no matter their age. He directed his business with efficiency, was motivated by greed, and will now be prosecuted for this illegal activity.”

MARC EMERY has operated Marc Emery Direct since 1994, taking orders for marijuana seeds over the internet and is a well known figure in Canada as publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine, and leader of the BC Marijuana Party. According to the web site run by EMERY, he has made more than $3 million annually, illegally selling marijuana seeds. EMERY claims to stock the largest supply of marijuana seeds in the world and is considered the largest distributor of marijuana seeds. According to court filings, Emery seeds are associated with multiple illegal grow operations across the U.S.

EMERY and co-defendants GREGORY KEITH WILLIAMS, 50, of Vancouver, BC and MICHELLE RAINEY-FENKAREK, 34, of Vancouver, BC are charged with Conspiracy to Distribute Marijuana, Conspiracy to Distribute Marijuana Seeds and Conspiracy to Engage in Money Laundering. The charges carry penalties of 10 years to life in prison.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington has filed an extradition request with Canada asking that all three defendants be brought to Seattle to stand trial.

To think of how my grandparents had to struggle when they first came here as LEGAL immigrants!

My maternal and paternal grandparents also came here as legal immigrants. The feds are spitting in the faces of all who lawfully apply for citizenship in this country IMHO.
