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.

Home grown Islamists may hit US: FBI chief
Full Story

WASHINGTON -- The United States could be attacked by "home grown" Islamist terror groups, the FBI's chief has warned.

FBI Director Robert Mueller told the London Financial Times newspaper in an interview published Thursday that the United States could face attacks from "home-grown terrorism" very similar to the July 7 bombings in London that killed 52 people and wounded another 700, Mueller said.

When asked if the United States could face such attacks from "home-grown groups", Mueller answered emphatically: "Absolutely, it could," the Financial Times said.

The terrorist mis-spelled words are what hooked me on Google.

My Sister has a fit, about the way I talk, part old Texas accent, part is from living alone too many years and not saying the words out loud, therefore, I cannot spell them either, as they do not "sound out" correctly.

I have the thought that a person using english as a second language, may have the same problems as I do with spelling.

That is why I always google the mis-spelled words first, LOL, and anyway I can count on the rest of you'all googling the normal words.

I think that it will be the mis-spelled words that lead to the codes, if I spoke the languages, it is possible that the words have an entirely different meaning in their language, than they do in mine.

Words have always interested me.

That is an absolutely fantastic method. I would never have thought to employ it! Thank you for sharing it! Now, to go look at those links...(o:

I am almost sure that my brother Fred was on the Kitty Hawk,

This month, Fred was 68 and still works on one of the Calif. bases as an engineer.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Excellent research, as is normal for you.

Are we now to accept 'toy' as the code word for bomb?

It is going to be worse for the next couple days, with all the planning that goes into halloween.

Halloween has scared me for years, I do not think it is fun at all.

We think that our prayers to God for someone, generates a healing energy field for his use in healing.

I think that the "thoughts of evil" will generate a negative energy field in the world.

Please folks, the 29th is both a day that people want to look evil (and will be celebrating halloween) and it is the muslim day of determination, therefore there is going to be a very bad 'negative energy field' throughout the world.

at 6 pm, I caught part of a KXNT radio news item, for Las Vegas, I think, said that at 4th and Stewart, the people were allowed back in, as the powder was not a danger.

Last month the arrest of a construction worker....makes me ask if he was a member of the MS-13 gang, that are said to follow the construction workers, and extort money from the illegals.

[Cindy]

Thanks for the feedback olde north church.

When you said in part, ""What do we do now that the CIA is in the process of a coup against the Bush Admin?..."; I was somewhat surprised.

OPINION: I don't believe that the "CIA is in the process of a coup against the Bush Admin." I do believe there are a lot of politics going on. In my opinion, the playing politics centers primarily around Mr. Wilson.

Bottom line, looking at the CIA as the large organization that it is; it would not benefit them to play politics. Politics and fighting America's enemies don't mix./end opinion

[olde north church]

If it weren't for the CIA's long history of destabilizing and toppling governments and other blackops, I wouldn't give it a second thought. Think of them as a cornered animal. Am I tin-foiling?

Terror 'linked' to environment crime
Herald Sun ^ | 27 October 2005 | Roberta Mancuso

Posted on 10/26/2005 11:59:30 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

INTERPOL is investigating whether terrorist groups such as Jemaah
Islamiah are linked to environmental crimes.

The head of Interpol's Environmental Crimes Committee Andrew
Lauterback said there was anecdotal evidence those behind the
world's major wildlife smuggling and illegal waste dumping were
linked to organised crime. Such links had been established between
ivory poaching and terrorist groups in Somalia, he said, and Interpol
was investigating the possible involvement of major terrorist
networks.

"Obviously, that's something that we're looking into, but that's
probably all I can say," Mr Lauterback said in Brisbane today.

Mr Lauterback, who spoke at the Australian Environmental Law
Enforcement and Regulators Conference, said environmental crime
was estimated to be worth up to $31 billion annually.

He said environmental crimes were becoming more sophisticated and
Interpol was "struggling" to keep one step ahead of criminals.

"There's been evidence showing a link between illegal caviar
smuggling and the Russian mafia," he said.

NSW welcomes terror laws plans

28oct05

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW South Wales Attorney-General Bob Debus has welcomed plans by the Prime Minister to have the Federal Government's anti-terrorism laws in place in time for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

Prime Minister John Howard today said he was not wedded to any plans to introduce the Bill to Parliament next Tuesday, Melbourne Cup day, as originally planned. But he said he still wanted the terrorism legislation passed this parliamentary session and in place before the March 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Mr Debus, who has been critical of the Federal Government's original plan to introduce the legislation next Tuesday, today welcomed the Prime Minister's comments.

"I see no reason to be rushing quite as fast as has been proposed in recent times," Mr Debus said today.

"We are dealing with laws that represent the biggest change, I would say, in a generation, and it simply behoves us to be careful about how we go about drafting them."

"I heard a report that the Prime Minister wanted to have the laws in Parliament by the Commonwealth Games and I certainly agree with that.""
