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.

The doctors and nurses at Manchester University, England found a combination of three common oils—eucalyptus, lavender and tea tree—were more effective than conventional antibiotic treatments. The researchers found that the three oils usually used in aromatherapy destroyed MRSA and E. coli bacteria in two minutes flat. They believe that the oils' complex mix of chemical compounds defeat the defenses of the bacteria.

This is exactly what Granny has been saying all along. Regarding the colloidal silver, if you google the words, you'll find our "right on top of it" government is calling colloidal silver a "drug" and asking those selling it for legal substantative proof that claims for it are proven prior to it being sold.

Snip: The FTC is now trying to intimidate all web sites that make CS available with legal sanctions. We have removed all articles from this web site which indicates any therapeutic benefits from colloidal silver, ozone, or Eewahkee. They do make excellent paperweights however. You might want to consider getting some unusual paperweights. Interested parties should contact the Editor if you desire more information.

"Terrorists Using UNRWA Schools for Rallies"
Arutz Sheva - IsraelNationalNews ^ | 12/10/5 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Posted on 12/10/2005 3:51:37 PM PST by SmithL

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Hamas terrorists are using United Nations schools and office to stage rallies, according to the Israel Resource News Agency, headed by journalist David Bedein.





The U.N., through UNRWA (U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees), is supposed to serve humanitarian needs for Arabs in the Gaza area, but "there have been instances of Hamas rallies on the school grounds of UNRWA schools," said Arlene Kushner, who works with Bedein.

U.N. officials denied the accusations.

Speaking at a conference of United Nations correspondents, Bedein said his investigations raised questions about a "moral code" at UNRWA.

Kushner reported that a school organized by the relief agency held a service commemorating the death of an Islamic Jihad terrorist killed by the IDF. She added that UNRWA intentionally keeps tension high in villages where it operates.

Sa'ahir Lone Sr., UNRWA liaison officer, declared that the agency does not support any political ideology. "We're there to make sure they (the refugees) are not hungry and that their human development needs are taken care of," he said.

UNRWA is a separate agency dealing only with Arabs in Israel as opposed to the U.N. High Commission for Refugees which handles problems of other people throughout the world. The High Commission employs people from all nationalities but the UNRWA staff of 25,000 is made up only local Palestinian Authority (PA) Arabs."

IDF foils Jerusalem terror attack

He wanted to strike because of his "hatred of Jews." From Israel National News, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

A 20-year-old Palestinian arrived Saturday morning at the 300 roadblock south of Jerusalem. Border Guard police officers searched him and discovered that he was carrying two ready-to-use improvised explosive devices, a plastic gun and a knitted hat. The devices included explosives and nails. Sappers, who were dispatched to the area, detonated the charges in a controlled manner. The Palestinian, a resident of the village of Abadia near Bethlehem, was detained and taken into investigation. In his investigation, the young man said that he had planned on carrying out a terror attack in Jerusalem, claiming that he wanted to do so because of his "hatred of Jews."

"Passengers tackle man charging cockpit on Honolulu flight"
http://khon.com/khon/displayStory.cfm?storyID=9606 ^ | December 9, 2005 10:00 PM | Gina Mangieri

Posted on 12/10/2005 5:03:13 PM PST by WatchingInAmazement

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A suspect is in federal custody after passengers say he threatened an infant and tried to charge the cockpit of an airplane en route to Honolulu. No air marshal was aboard, but seven passengers tackled and subdued him.

Passengers say the man's strange behavior started just a couple hours after Northwest Flight 91 took off from Los Angeles.

"He came up to first class several times, and at one point he really startled me... He came up to my left shoulder, and he got right in my face and he said something in Spanish -- he said something about medicine, like 'I need medicine,'" said passenger Linda Deckard from California.

She says the man even gestured threats toward a baby with a cell phone cord, and couldn't sit still. But thanks to one father's planning, a group of passengers are heroes to nearly 200 people on the flight.

"We got the word around first class that if he makes a move for the cockpit door, he's going down," said passenger Mike Deckard. "And that's just what happened. He made a move for the cockpit door and we were on top of him."

He and six others bound the suspect's hands and feet with a belt and cords from an on-board restraint pack."

Saudi billionaire boasts of manipulating Fox News coverage

Snip: WASHINGTON -- Accuracy in Media (AIM) is urging a full inquiry into a report that a Saudi billionaire caused the Fox News Channel (FNC) to dramatically alter its coverage of the Muslim riots in France after he called the network to complain. The Saudi billionaire, Al-waleed bin Talal, is a friend of News Corporation chairman Rupert Murdoch and controls an influential number of voting shares in the company.

“This report underscores the danger of giving foreign interests a significant financial stake in U.S. media companies,” declared Cliff Kincaid, editor of Accuracy in Media.

Terrorists arrested in Miami

Snip: Among the many terrorists in Miami, two have finally been arrested. Santiago Alvarez and Osvaldo Mitat were picked up on November 18 and 19 and charged with possession of numerous weapons, including fully automatic machine guns along with ammunition, grenades along with a grenade launcher, explosives along with blasting caps. Serial numbers on some of the guns had been filed off. A briefcase held a pistol along with a silencer. In addition, Santiago Alvarez is charged with attempting to receive a counterfeit passport in his name--a Guatemalan passport even though he has no claim to Guatemalan citizenship. Alvarez is a legal permanent resident of the United States who has retained his Cuban citizenship.

Osvaldo Mitat is a Cuban-American. At the time of his arrest, he said, "Unfortunately, you guys are doing your jobs and we got caught with a bunch of guns. I love the United States....These guns were not meant to be used against this country."

The best secret tellers in Washington

Snip: . The January 25, 2001 memo that terrorism czar Richard Clarke sent to national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, warning that top Bush administration officials needed to immediately come up with a plan for dealing with al Qaeda.

. The log book of a US Navy destroyer that revealed that on October 27, 1962--in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis--this ship dropped depth charges off the Cuban coast and almost hit the hull of a Soviet submarine carrying a nuclear warhead. The crew of the sub, believing war was at hand, considered firing the nuclear weapon but did not.

Guatemala secret files revealed

Snip: The documents are a mixture of the every day - traffic tickets, personnel records - and the potentially critical, including filing cabinets marked "Murders" and "Disappeared". Ms Doyle, who visited the archive in August, told the BBC the papers contained "an extraordinary wealth of material about key human rights cases". One example is the killing of the renowned anthropologist, Myrna Mack.

The find is particularly important because the Guatemalan security forces have always denied the existence of documentary evidence.

Mexico abolishes death penalty

Snip: Mexico abolishes death penalty Dec 11, 2005, Mexico City - Mexico has outlawed its long-dormant death penalty, setting itself apart from its northern neighbour - the United States.

President Vicente Fox announced the decree, based on a constitutional change approved by the Mexican Senate in a 79-2 vote last March. Through the reform of our constitution, the ultimate penalty has been stricken from our laws,' Fox said Friday.

Mexico last executed a prisoner in 1961, but Mexico and the U.S. have clashed repeatedly over the years over Mexicans sentenced to die by U.S. courts. In 2002, Fox cancelled a visit to U.S. President George W. Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, after Texas executed a Mexican convicted of fatally shooting a police officer.

More police reach grief-stricken villagers

Snip: “When another brother went to try to find him on Tuesday, he went missing too, and hadn’t been heard of since. I still have my youngest cousin in the Yehui Hospital with a bullet wound, still in critical condition. And his older brother is still missing,” Liu said, saying that overseas media had been slow to react to events in Dongzhou. Official account Meanwhile, the authorities got to work to make the official version of events known to the 30,000-strong population of Dongzhou, which lies near the port city of Shanwei, in the eastern part of China’s freewheeling and economically booming Guangdong province.

“Just before 9 a.m., they started to put out official broadcasts from the loudspeakers along the streets saying that the violence had been started by the villagers themselves throwing petrol bombs, and that the police were forced to respond—that the violence was led by a few,” one woman told RFA’s Mandarin service reporter Ding Xiao.

Thank you Cindy. Soooo much going on in our world. Appreciate your ever-constant vigilance as well.

In the old days the media did actual follow-ups on news reports that left open-ended questions. Today's reporters, if they even report the news that matters, don't bother with follow-up reporting on incidents. One of the reasons the media and newspapers, are losing respect and readership is because people have to search relentlessly for answers on the internet - for answers and information the media will not give us. FReepers (especially on Threat Matrix) search continuously for answers and don't let time keep us from bringing back events of past months and intertwining them with current events on a daily basis. They may be the reporters, but FReepers are the true professionals IMHO.

On another site it was temporary handcuffs.

You know, those hancuffs that look like garbage ties.
They can be used when you're out of handcuffs AND
easily can be adjusted for hands and feet.
