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.

Terror Rising-Two Islamic terrorist groups launch
their bid for a global caliphate.
Frontpagemagazine ^ | 12-8-05 | Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen

Posted on 12/08/2005 7:05:29 AM PST by SJackson

When the State and Treasury departments manage to cooperate with
each other to halt terrorist financing, they should consider putting Hizb
ut Tahrir (Islamic Liberation Party) and its splinter organization,
Al-Mujahiroun, on the U.S.-designated terrorist list and freeze their
assets.

Hizb ut Tahrir (HT) and Al-Mujahiroun, like al Qaeda and Hizbollah,
describe the USA, the United Kingdom and Israel as “the work of the
devil,” and European democracy as "a farce". The group’s goal is to
establish a global caliphate and force all non-Muslim states to pay a
tax or face military attacks. Its graduates join al-Qaeda, according to
the director of international security and energy programs at the
Nixon Centre in Washington, DC, Zeyno Baran. More ominously, HT
and Al-Mujahiroun call for a jihad against the U.S., its allies, and
moderate Muslim states in order to “find and kill the Kufar
(non-believers).” The groups, together with the Muslim Brotherhood,
were reportedly behind last month’s riots in France.

HT, a global Islamist organization in the mold of al-Qaeda, was
established in 1952 by Sheikh Taqi al-Din al-Nabahani in the
Jordanian occupied part of Jerusalem as a branch of the Muslim
Brotherhood. It soon expanded to neighboring countries in the Middle
East and has since been banned from most of them. With the growing
immigration of Muslim workers to Europe, the movement established
branches in Germany, the UK and France. By the 1980s, it spread to
Turkey, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Australia.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, it rushed to fill the spiritual
gap in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and parts of Russia. Soon after,
HT’s incitement to terrorism and several attempts by the group on the
lives of public officials prompted Central Asian governments and
Russia to ban the organization. After 9/11, when it re-invigorated its
campaign in Europe and metastasized into Scandinavia, it was
outlawed in Germany and Sweden.

After the July bombings in London, the British government announced
that it will ban the HT. However, it has yet to follow through. The
reason is that the British mistakenly believe that by barring HT’s
leader, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad, from returning to the U.K.,
they have solved the problem.

Not even the strong and public warnings from Pakistani President
Pervez Musharraf last August have moved Britain to act. In a meeting
with the British Premier, Musharraf admonished Blair, saying, "There
is Hizb Ur-Tahrir and al-Muhajiroun, who operate with full impunity in
that [England] area." Emphasizing the violent nature of the group,
Musharraf stated, "They had the audacity of passing an edict against
my life and yet they operate with impunity."

"just what the hell is he doing?"

I send warm greetings to American Muslims and Muslims around the world observing Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast.

The observation of Christmas is clearly politically incorrect. The observation of Eid al-Fitr, however, appears to be acceptable.

Boy oh, boy..you're not going to believe this one, Granny.

The last only other time a plane crashed though the end of the runway at Midway was in 1972....on December 8th, 1972!



Chicago Historical Information

1972, December 8: Crash of United Airlines Flight 533
"This was probably the most investigated airplane crash in history" said Deputy Cook County Coroner John Haigh when he announced the findings of the coroner's jury looking into the crash at Midway Airport. The findings coincided with those of the National Transportation Safety Board: pilot error.

Flight 533 left Washington D.C. for Omaha, Nebraska stopping in Chicago. Approaching Midway the pilot was instructed by the control tower to execute a "missed approach" pattern. The pilot applied full power to go around for another landing attempt. At 2:27 p.m., 1.5 miles from the airport, Flight 533 hit the branches of trees on the south side of 71st Street. It then hit the roofs of a number of neighborhood bungalows before plowing into the home of Mrs. Veronica Kuculich at 3722 70th Place, demolishing the home and killing her and a daughter, Theresa. The plane burst into flames killing a total of 45 persons, 43 of them on the plane, including the pilot and first and second officers. Eighteen passengers survived.

Among the passengers killed were U.S. Representative George Collins (7th), a former 24th Ward Alderman, and Mrs. Dorothy Hunt. Her husband, E. Howard Hunt, had been indicted on charges of conspiring to break into the Democratic National Committee Headquarters in the Watergate Hotel. Found in the debris was a purse belonging to Mrs. Hunt containing $10,585 in cash. There was immediate concern that the money might be linked to the financial dealings surrounding the Nixon "slush fund" to which defendants in the Watergate case had access and that the crash therefore might be linked to sabotage. In the end sabotage was ruled out, but the mystery surrounding the money and the deaths of such prominent, politically connected individuals insured a very thorough investigation.

The NTSB issued its report after recreating the last minutes of the flight based on the flight and voice recording instruments, interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses on the ground, and physical evidence. According to the report, when Midway's control tower directed the crew to abort the landing and try again, they became distracted and failed to prepare a proper landing. As they attempted to pull the jet from the landing descent, the crew forgot to deactivate the wing spoilers. The plane stalled. And then it crashed.

This is our child. Are we crazy? You bet. Proud of it, too.

Naw, you love Libby and Libby loves you back. God's awesome creation - animals and pets in our world. Will continue prayers for the successful surgeries to get Libby repaired to run and play like a puppy should.

It horrifies me to see people dump animals for various reasons (they moved and cannot take it, they have a baby now, they don't have time to take care of it, and on and on). I applaud you for taking responsibility to love and care for your pet.

Do you think that is fair? Is FAM ammunition with low grain counts of gunpowder? Both marshals fired on the guy.

Muslim leader in Philadelphia deported
AP ^ | 12/8/5

Posted on 12/08/2005 6:44:02 PM PST by SmithL

The leader of a small Philadelphia mosque was deported to his native
Egypt on Thursday for overstaying his visa, authorities said.

Mohamed Ghorab, imam of the Ansaar Allah Islamic Society in the
city's Bridesburg section, lost his battle to remain in the United States
last week when a federal appeals court upheld a judge's deportation
order.

"The removal of Mr. Ghorab represents the latest in (the
government's) effort to ensure that there are consequences for
violations of US immigration laws," Thomas Decker, of Immigrations
and Customs Enforcement's Philadelphia office, said in a statement.

Folks:



Imagine this scenario if you have the courage…



You are sitting in your car with your family waiting for a school bus to unload. Children are disembarking the bus when you spy an old car speeding toward the intersection. “That lunatic is going to hit those children!” you say to your spouse who is sitting beside you.



That’s the last thing you remember before waking up in the hospital.



The nurse tells you not to speak but you struggle through your pain to ask, “Where are my wife and children? What happened?”



The nurse walks away and the doctor steps up to your bed. You notice for the first time that you can only see out of one eye and that you are hooked up to a multitude of machines.



“Sir, you were in the direct vicinity of a car bomb, a suicide bomb. Your family is dead. I am sorry. You need to rest. When you are feeling up to it the police want to talk to you about what you saw.”



Or this…



You have been on the Internet and have forwarded an email critical of the government performance to some of the people in your address book. You didn’t write it but you agree with the statement and therefore thought to share it with your likeminded friends. You shut your computer off and head on up to bed, as is the norm for you.



Suddenly, at 3:00am, five unidentified men kick in your front door and race up the stairs. They have automatic weapons and their faces are covered. You are in a fog. Your wife is screaming. You hear your kids screaming. You don’t know what is going on.



As you gather your wits the five men are holding your children, with weapons to their heads, at the foot of your bed. It all happened so fast you feel like you’re moving in slow motion. You move to act but are cracked over the head with the butt of a rifle. “Try that again and your youngest gets a bullet in the head,” a voice commands.



You sit half conscious with blood dripping down the side of your face and the same voice asks, “Did you send an email criticizing our government to John Smith today?”



You think back to all of the emails you sent and then remember the last email that you forwarded. “John Smith, John Smith, did I send it to John?” you think to yourself. You feel another crack to your head. “Answer!” the voice says.



“I don’t know. I can’t remember,” you say to the unidentifiable man.



Suddenly, the one holding you’re your youngest child kicks her legs out from under her and breaks her arm just at the elbow. As she shrieks in pain, crying out for you, you lunge to her defense. One of the other men lifts his weapon and shoots your wife in the head. She is dead.



“Did you send an email criticizing our government to John Smith today?” the voice screams in a more impatient tone. This time one of the men has a pistol to your oldest child’s head.



If you don’t think that these two scenarios can play out in the United States you are uninformed not only to the threat of radical Islamofascism but also to the consequences of losing the War on Radical Islam.



The threat is real. Thousands who have escaped the brutal oppression of Islamofascist regimes recount their horrors each day. A scant few who have broke away from the ideology testify to anyone who will listen about the Caliphate that radical Islamic organizations like al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade and a plethora of others want to set up, not only in the Middle East, but throughout the world.



Their victory would mean the end of the United States and the end of the free world as we know it. To them, it is not about politics, it is about religion, a radical religion where the law allows for beheadings, stoning and maiming, a radical religion that uses terror as its tool of choice to keep the masses in line.



We are America’s Truth Forum (formally the People’s Truth Forum), a group of non-partisan, non-political concerned citizens committed to bringing the truth about the threat of radical Islam to the American people. The government won’t do it. The media won’t do it. That leaves us.



We need your help.



We are organizing a symposium that will bring together the most important voices on the subject of radical Islamofascism. Our speakers include; Dr. Harvey Kushner, Robert Spencer, Laura Mansfield, Brigitte Gabriel and many more. They will share their extensive knowledge and first-hand experience with radical Islamofascism and help everyone attending to understand just what we are up against. This symposium is set for the Spring of this year.



But we are meeting resistance at every turn and in every way.



In order to make this happen, we need your financial support. Every dollar amount helps no matter how small the denomination. Each and every penny donated to our cause will be spent on our cause. We are not a special interest group that farms its funding out to other organizations. We are firmly committed to the task of bringing the truth about the threat that Islamofascism poses to the American people to the American people.



If we fail, the Islamofascists win a crucial battle in the War on Terror…and we move a step closer to the scenarios depicted above.



Please help us to help America. Give what you can.



Sincerely yours,



Jeffrey Epstein, President

Yes, I'm warm and all is well.
My oldest had her first experience driving home from school in the snow.
I grew a few grey hairs waiting.
Snow has been coming about an inch an hour and we're used to it around here. Hence, nothing gets cancelled and basketball practice was still on.

I do love the snow. :-)
