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!

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.

"Austin officials deny any wrongdoing.

Austin officials are just plain wrong IMHO. Who are they protecting, illegals or their citizens? You got it - AUSTIN is protecting the ILLEGALS and letting taxpaying law-abiding citizens die at their hands. They should be very very ashamed.

[MamaDearest]

The shipment came from Mexico, but officials declined to name the importer and the shipper, because they committed a civil, not a criminal, violation.

Officials ALWAYS seem to be denying who criminals and law-violators are. Discarding potentially dangerous to human life materials should be more than a civil violation IMHO. If our shippers did that anywhere in this country, there would be all hell to pay, everyone would know who did it and GWB would be blamed. Once again we protect illegal importation.

I got my flu shot a few days ago. I know it won't stop the avian flu, but if I get sick I DON'T want the Doc saying: Hmmmmm I dunno....it might be the ordinary garden variety flu. Let's wait a few days and see.... Wait a few days with this bug and you're a goner. I also heard that a weak version of HN51 has shown up in some migratory birds (gulp!) in Sun Valley Idaho. Anybody else hear this?

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

You're not the only one. We're expecting our taxes to skyrocket because Californians have come into our area too, buying the $300,000 - $600,000 homes here with cash from the sale of their million dollar homes there. Since they've begun arriving here, we now have graffiti and cars with sound systems that can be heard a city block away. Yes Granny, I can easily relate to what you say.

---

Mamadearest your post fits exactly where I live now. Our taxes have tripled in the last 5 years. I have no city water, no sewage and live on a dirt road. Now how is tax money helping us?

The sad thing is property has skyrocketed also. We have had this house as a summer house since 1985 and retired in 1995. Yes the value has also gone up 4 times what we paid for the house but that is not what we moved here for, we moved for peace of mind.

We lived in Fayetteville, Georgia where we saw the same thing happen.

First the taxes go up then the house prices go up, next thing you know your trash can has to be placed on the right side of the driveway and handle pointing to the road or they will not pick up you trash. Then you get a nasty certified letter telling you how to place your trash can.

Only one car parked in the drive way and heaven forbid you leave your garage door open for any reason, and drapes on garage windows and on and on and on.

We are seeing this area moving in the same direction.

The locals don't understand they just see ggg-granddad's property worth more than they ever dreamed.

We have written letter's to the paper and talked till we have turned blue in the face and the locals don't get it.

One bright spot is that they were going to put an interstate right through the middle of us, so far no go, just give them time.

[ExSoldier]

the PETA types don't want us to wear fur or eat fish....

Okay, let me see if I've got this straight:

We can't eat beef because of mad cow.

We can't eat poultry because of the bird flu.

Not s'posed to eat fish because of high levels of mercury....

If I'm not mistaken that just leaves.....(are you ready?)

CHOCOLATE!

"Low-Level Strain of Bird Flu Found in Sun Valley
Officials Say Disease Cannot Be Transmitted To Humans"

POSTED: 6:31 pm PST November 29, 2005
UPDATED: 6:47 pm PST November 29, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LOS ANGELES -- Several Japanese quails suffering from a low pathogenic strain of bird flu were discovered in a Sun Valley quail farm, the Bureau of Humane Law Enforcement announced Tuesday.

The state Department of Food and Agriculture confirmed three cases of bird flu were found at the L.A. Quail Farm, but said the low pathogenic strains are not uncommon.

"Pathogenic bird flu is something that happens every year in California," said Steve Lyle, director of public affairs for the department. "The fact that these birds were found with low path AI (avian influenza) is not terribly unusual. This occurs regularly each year in our state."

According to its Web site, the Bureau of Humane Law Enforcement is a non-governmental, nonprofit California Public Benefit Corporation devoted to defending all animals to the full extent of the law."

I have been told more than once, that I was just an old gal who did not know the Berlin wall had come down and still thought the communists were going to get me.

You are not the only one.

I saw a program on "the occult and Hitler" the other night and you would be shocked at how much of the same ideas connect to Islam.

Well you and TM'S wont be shocked but the rest of the world is in for a shock.

[bored at work]

I heard about that too ExSoldier. Lets hope that if it does make the jump to H2H that it will morph to be a less infectious or dangerous strain.

Hey! Great to see you here! I still believe that we have not been able to penetrate these guys.

"Yorkville Legion denies Minutemen"
Aurora Beacon-News ^ | 12/3/05 | Andre Salles

Posted on 12/03/2005 2:17:59 PM PST by chicagolady

"Post commander says rejecting group wasn't difficult"

By Andre Salles Staff Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "YORKVILLE — A group dedicated to enforcing immigration laws will not meet in Yorkville next week.

The Illinois chapter of the Minutemen, an organization founded in 2004 to help curtail illegal immigration into the United States, planned to hold its third Fox Valley area organizational meeting Wednesday at the Yorkville American Legion.

According to members of the group, the goal of the meetings has been to determine local interest in immigration issues, and to craft an agenda for a Fox Valley Minutemen organization.

But following the controversies that have surrounded previous meetings of the group, Yorkville Legion Post Commander Gary Bullock has decided to deny them the use of his hall.

Bullock, in a written statement, noted that the decision to deny the request was "not a difficult one to make."

"Post 489's concern is goodwill and mutual helpfulness to our community," he wrote. document.write("") "I cannot see one positive benefit for the community or our post by having the Minutemen come to the Yorkville Legion Post."

This decision comes mere days after the Oswego American Legion refused a similar request from the group. Officials from the Oswego Legion would not confirm the reasons for canceling the meeting.

"I am disappointed (that the meeting was cancelled)," said Rosanna Pulido, co-founder of the Illinois Minutemen. "But I am more disappointed in the American Legion."

Pulido noted that the first resolution to come out of the 2005 American Legion National Convention in August was a call for action on the illegal immigration issue."

I did hear about the birds in Idaho.

Also heard, via the proverbial grapevine, that "they" are finding some dead migratory geese in North Dakota with Avian flu...(friend of my son's who is with the Game and Fish Dept.) Which is why I quit feeding the stupid turkeys. Just chased a bunch of them off my back deck. Poor things are hungry. And yes, they can fly. My deck is 14 feet above ground.

I'm not surprised at the rapid spread in Asia. When I was there, there were live and dead birds hanging in all the open air markets, which are everywhere. Our FDA would go nuts in China............come to think of it, they would go nuts in ANY other country. We really do have quite high standards here.

Obscure al-Qaida Chemist Worries Experts

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt - He's a mystery in a red beard, with a strange alias and a degree in chemical engineering. In the hands of this alleged al-Qaida operative, it's a specialty that summons visions of poison gas and mass terror.

Al-Qaida is "wedded to the spectacular," notes U.S. counterterrorism analyst Donald Van Duyn, and elusive Egyptian chemist Midhat Mursi was said to be exploring such possibilities when last seen, brewing up deadly compounds and gassing dogs in Afghanistan.

Van Duyn's FBI and other U.S. agencies are interested enough in Mursi to have posted a $5 million reward this year for his capture. Egypt's government reportedly is interested enough to have seized and locked up his two sons in an effort to track down the father.

The U.S. reward poster says the alleged bombmaker, also known as Abu Khabab, literally "Father of the Trotting Horse," may be in Pakistan. But "we don't think there's really a good fix on where he is," Van Duyn said in a Washington interview.

Security forces believe that there are two Islamic cells in Spain

Fri, 02 Dec 2005, 08:31

The State Security Forces are on maximum alert. According to today’s El Mundo newspaper, the recent detention of men who are alleged to be linked to Al Qaeda and who were trying to exchange drugs for Goma 2 explosives, could have been related to what the Spanish Secret Service, the CNI, believe are two sleeping Islamist cells based in Logroño and Vitoria.

The security services think the groups could be merely waiting for instructions. The security services have called for a planned Islamic Centre not to be built in La Rioja.

I wonder if our government will call for Islamic Centers not to be built?

Iraq describes border with Syria as 'source of evil'

Compiled by Daily Star staff
Thursday, December 01, 2005

The Iraqi defense minister described his country's border with Syria as a "source of evil," as U.S. President George W. Bush refused Wednesday to set a pullout timetable for Iraq and said his goal was "complete victory." On another front, police in Belgium and France arrested 15 people Wednesday in a roundup of suspected Islamist militants believed to be linked to a Belgian woman who carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq this month.

Bush sought to explain his Iraq strategy in the face of mounting public criticism over his handling of the war and calls for a troop pullout. He rejected setting a withdrawal timetable and said the U.S. wants Iraqis to take the lead in fighting insurgents, then assume responsibility without major foreign assistance.

"As Iraqi security forces stand up, coalition forces can stand down, and when our mission of defeating the terrorists in Iraq is complete, our troops will return home to a proud nation," Bush said in a speech at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Shortly ahead of Bush's speech, Defense Minister Saadoun al-Dulaimi warned Syria that his government's patience was running out.

"My brothers, this is historic, national and legitimate mission. You are protecting this gate at the western border that used to be a source of evil to Iraq and a source for the entrance of vampires into Iraq," he said during a visit to the western border town of Husaybah.

Dulaimi said: "We tell our neighbors, take care of your own affairs and don't interfere in Iraq's affairs ... Iraqis are heading for the future and they will not be stopped by a car bomb or a filthy body rigged with explosives," he said.

"You should not be a gate of evil to us. I hope you will be a good gate. I also tell them don't let our patience run out," said Dulaimi. He added that "this evil alliance between Muslim extremists and Baathists in Iraqi will not succeed."

On the ground in Iraq, a group of 10 masked men opened fire on a minibus near Baqouba, north of Baghdad, killing nine Iraqis and wounding two, police said. It was the latest in a series of brazen gun attacks on travelers in the area.
