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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
What's become of bin Laden since he gave us all the slip?
Full Story

Some think he is dead, others that he is hiding because he is scared of being killed.

Whatever the reason for the strange disappearance of Osama bin Laden, not seen alive since his last mocking video statement a year ago, he is no longer the face of the global "jihad" against the West.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi { TM 25,TM 27 }, the Jordanian responsible for some of the worst atrocities in Iraq, has become the hero of the hour on militant Islamist websites.

This is a new site to me, well written and this link should take you to a chapter from a book:

Really Support the troops

There are chapters and links at the end.

If I wasn't so tired, I am sure I could find other reports here worth reading.

Short news reports from Latvia and surrounding area.

Putin says he will not apologize for damage during occupation by the Soviet Union.

Helicopter crash in the bay, but it must have been caused by "bad steering" 14 dead.

A Russian fighter, crossed the line and crashed, (missile?)
Pilot ejected, into the nest county. There are several articles on this report, just keep reading down the list.

Even had a suicide bomber, they say he must have been on dope.

I can't really read the print, it is too small, but think that I got the general idea.

If you are following the coming war with Iran, you will want to read this report, also one on Saudi Arabia as the second half...........

One thing it says is that after China made a deal with clinton to not sell Iran the plans, they did anyway.

Iraq war linked with fight against anti-Semitism


By SHELDON KIRSHNER
Staff Reporter




Tony and Elizabeth Comper and, right, Winston S. Churchill
The ceaseless battle against anti-Semitism has been linked with the current allied struggle to bring democracy to Iraq.

In a recent speech marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps in Europe, British author, journalist and former parliamentarian Winston S. Churchill, the grandson of the iconic wartime prime minister, warned that determination and endurance will be needed to counter anti-Semitism and the insurgency in Iraq.

“On both fronts, let us fight the good fight,” said Churchill, delivering the keynote address at The Canadian Society for Yad Vashem’s annual dinner, held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.

But no one should expect quick and easy solutions on either front, he suggested.

Citing czarist Russian pogroms and the Holocaust, Churchill – a Conservative party member of parliament from 1970 until 1997 – said that no group has historically suffered as much as the Jewish people.

Describing anti-Semitism as an “ugly cancer,” Churchill said that it can best be fought by non-Jews such as dinner honorees Elizabeth and Tony Comper, the founders of FAST.

FAST, an acronym for Fighting Anti-Semitism Together, was formed last spring. It is a coalition of non-Jewish business and community leaders dedicated to combating anti-Jewish animus in Canada.

The Compers are governors of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews. He is president and chief executive officer of BMO Financial Group, a major Canadian banking institution. She is a fundraiser, volunteer and former English teacher.

Churchill, who was born in 1940 when his grandfather was Britain’s prime minister and German aircraft were bombing London, began with the pointed observation that this is not a kinder, more tolerant era.

He cited the massacre of Tutsis in Rwanda and the mass murder of Muslims in Bosnia in the 1990s and, more recently, the slaughter of Christians in Sudan and Pakistan.

In a blunt warning, he said that the newest challenge facing the West today comes from extremist Islam, which has declared a global jihad and has already launched terrorist attacks in, among other places, Madrid, Bali and London.

He said the West desperately needs the help of moderate Muslims to cope with this threat.

Churchill noted that his grandfather was the first to warn of the dangers of radical Islam, when, in a 1921 House of Commons speech, he spoke of Wahhabism in the Arabian peninsula.

Wahhabists have exported their austere, intolerant brand of Islam to virtually every corner of the globe, and the “weak and supine” ruling House of Saud in Saudi Arabia has turned a blind eye to their activities, he charged.

Issuing an implicit criticism of Turkey’s application for admission to the European Union, he said that Turkish membership would vastly increase the EU’s Muslim population to 100 million.

Turning his attention to Iraq, Churchill said that nothing could be more disastrous if the United States, along with its ally Britain, adopted a defeatist and cowardly “cut-and-run” policy.

The West will pay “a terrible price” should it withdraw from Iraq before the insurgents are beaten back and democracy takes root, he declared.

In a rebuke of the United States, Churchill said that when nations go to war they should expect grievous losses. He compared the 2,000 casualties the United States has sustained in Iraq so far with the 55,000 British soldiers who were killed in a single day in the Battle of the Somme during World War I.

“Is the U.S. going soft? I pray not.”

Washington should aim at attaining victory in Iraq at all costs, he observed, reading several lines from one of his grandfather’s stirring wartime speeches.

>> Lots of e-coli being found in wells and city water supplies as of late...<<

Hmmm. Good to know. Thanks MD.

I've started filtering the tap water before I put it into those 2 liter water bottles. When I need water for coffee or tea I used the bottled water. I have about 20 of those bottles and rotate though them. It's like damning up a stream - if the water supply is cut, I have the bottled reserves. Rotating though them keeps the stock fresh. This is besides the 6 cases I keep.

I do the same with my food. I have about a 2 month supply of canned, nonperishable, no-cooking-needed food on hand. Along with the fresh venison I've been munching on lately, I eat at least one item a day. When I restock, the newer items go in the back.

Here is some really great news....for those who remember the original "crescent" design. I believe that without great sites like FR and the "new media" here in the blogosphere, the original design would have been built. So for everyone who despised the horrible first design...It Has Been Changed! Hurrah!

***Pennsylvania Sept. 11 Memorial Redesigned (PA - 11/30/05)***

By JENNIFER C. YATES Associated Press Writer

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Designers of a Flight 93 memorial have made a bowl-shaped piece of land its centerpiece, replacing a crescent-shape design that some critics had said was a symbol honoring terrorists, officials announced Wednesday.

The new design for the memorial, to be built on the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, crash near Shanksville, features most of the details of the original, which victims' relatives helped select after a worldwide design competition.

But a round, bowl-shaped area would replace a "Crescent of Embrace," a crescent-shaped cluster of maple trees.

After the original design was unveiled in September, Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., criticized it in a letter to the National Park Service director, saying many questioned the shape "because of the crescent's prominent use as a symbol in Islam - and the fact that the hijackers were radical Islamists."

Paul Murdoch, president of Paul Murdoch Architects, which designed the memorial, had called the criticism of the crescent an "unfortunate diversion," but said they were sensitive to the concerns...

It would be interesting to be a bug, listening to the groups talk about the 9-11 Memorials.

I am so glad the design was changed.

"It would be interesting to be a bug, listening to the groups talk about the 9-11 Memorials."

Yep...because if there are a number of liberals among that group...they would be whining about the "public's" involvement in changing their "Crescent of Embrance". They would be saying that we just don't "get it"...we need to be "sensitive" to the feelings of the Mooslimbs..blah...blah..blah!

And they would certainly be upset about not being able to have free reign of the monetary endowment, that has been set aside to build this monument. The libs always have an agenda....just now the silent majority has a huge outlet here in the blogosphere to help enact change in areas where the libs have always done whatever they wanted to do un-checked.

Terror raising ugly head underwater

Wednesday • November 30, 2005

THE Al Qaeda is developing underwater demolition expertise, terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna told a maritime security conference in Singapore yesterday.

The majority of terrorist attacks have been land-based and maritime attacks are usually an extension of their land operations, said Dr Gunaratna, who heads the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research here.

"We recovered a diving manual in Kandahar which was, in fact, a plan to set up and run a diving school. Today, we are seeing, in this region, some interest in basic training in that area," he said.

"So, it is very important to know there is a maritime terrorist threat not only from the surface but also underwater. Governments must prepare for both these eventualities," Dr Gunaratna added.

The Straits of Malacca is a key maritime passageway for ships from all parts of the world. Hence the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) insists it is in the best interest of the international community that the straits be kept secure and safe.

Said MPA chief executive Tay Lim Heng: "Any disruptive event can significantly upset trade and incur great costs. One of the areas that governments should engage each other is consequence management — that is how to respond to an attack that disrupts the global supply chain."

Singapore's maritime industry is a major contributor to its economic growth, employing nearly 90,000 workers.
