Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

In Texas they rob doughnut shops with AK-47's.

Could that be their "night" job? Daytime being the janitors, landscapers (all the jobs Americans don't want) just trying to make a living?

I can't believe the nerve of these Somalians, to take on the US Navy. They must have a death wish.

Seems the four come in contact w/others - who may be walking around infecting others. I had no idea - 1/3 of the world's population is infected. Staggering indeed.

I was shocked to read that as well. Definitely not a topic of the MSM. In each of the links I posted tonight, whether dozens or hundreds of people were advised to obtain testing for it, what was the cost to our citizens and healthcare overall as a result and what is being done to prevent it?

Preventing and Controlling Tuberculosis Along the U.S.-Mexico Border

http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5001a1.htm

TB And MDR-TB Coming
To America - Illegal Immigrants
Spreading Infection

TB may again rise in the United States, and this will stem directly from mass immigration. Worldwide, this disease has made a comeback, accompanied by vaccine-resistant strains.

TB deaths are rising worldwide for the first time in about 40 years.

TB is especially prevalent in Mexicans, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Indians, Chinese, Haitians, and Koreans. Mexican immigrants have an infection rate of 35.5 cases per 100,000, far above the native-born rate.

Infectious TB trail
By Cal Thomas

If another reason is needed to oppose illegal immigration, to which the Bush administration keeps turning a blind eye, how about spread of a deadly communicable disease?
According to an essay in the current Journal of the American Medical Association, a form of tuberculosis that has shown itself resistant to several drugs has invaded California and is present primarily in the state's "foreign-born" population, a politically correct euphemism for illegal aliens.
Dr. Reuben Granich, a lead investigator for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), writes that 18 to 24 months of treatment for multidrug-resistant TB, called MDR-TB, costs between $200,000 and $1.2 million per person.

Illegal immigration is a political, social and medical issue that could come back to bite Republicans in the 2006 elections and in 2008 if they don't get a grip on it.

YADA YAHWEH
(Formerly, "The Future's History")

By Craig Winn

Yahweh's Prophetic Message Revealed, Amplified, and Explored.

Yahweh’s nature, His plan of salvation, and our future history are laid out before your eyes. We encourage you to read along with us, sharing your thoughts, as we unveil
prophetic Scripture.

Prologue

Foretelling the future is how God proves that His Scriptures are inspired. Only a Spirit who can maneuver in time can know what will happen in the future. When events play out precisely as He said they would, historical reality demonstrates that the rest of what He revealed is true and worthy of our consideration.

God also uses prophecy to reveal His nature, plan, and instructions. Most every prediction is designed to teach us something. So in this book, we will dissect fulfilled prophecies to validate the authority of future predictions. We will examine unfulfilled prophecy to understand what lies in our future and prepare us for what’s coming. And we will analyze the profound lessons attached to both so that we can be effective witnesses.
