Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

Posted on 09/01/2006 8:57:29 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Five Years Later, We're Still Not Safe
-Full Story-

In the five years since terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have accepted inconvenience, sacrificed personal liberties and paid billions of dollars for a security clampdown that touches virtually every aspect of their lives.

And we're still not safe.

A close examination of the federal government's homeland security effort shows that there have been major accomplishments since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. But it also reveals how vulnerable the nation remains to catastrophe.

"Muslim population growth outpaces almost every other group in just about any country in the world."

We keep hearing about this, don't we? Good thing they are not all active extremists.

al-Qaida Warns Pope He, West Are Doomed

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=2458094

by MAAMOUN YOUSSEF

CAIRO, Egypt Sep 18, 2006 (AP)— Al-Qaida in Iraq and its allies warned Pope Benedict XVI on Monday that he and the West were "doomed" and proclaimed that the holy war would continue until Islam dominates the world.

....."You infidels and despotic, we will continue our jihad (holy war) and never stop until God avails us to chop your necks and raise the fluttering banner of monotheism when God's rule is established governing all people and nations," the statement said........

This "All Muslims must leave the U.S." is a ruse. There has not been or will not be a mass exodus of Muslims from the U.S. This only a public relations ploy by them to make it same like they are looking out for their own.

There is a great deal of LE and Intel work going on as we speak. Something nasty is coming. 9/23 - 10/22 is a time to watch.

Stay safe and vigilant!

To: Donna Lee Nardo

Thanks for the info. I'm all for looking at any and every crazy scheme/map/image floating around. Long ago, I read both Mein Kampf and Shto Dyelat and I'm sure anyone reading those pre-revolutionary diatribes at the time would find it difficult to make sense of the writings let alone take those schemes seriously.

But unless there is some rationale I'm missing, all this map shows is the Islamic world as it has been for 1000 years with all the other countries colored in random colors, then showing a world 100 years from now all in green (Islamic), but not really showing how that happens when the area shaded green has not really expanded much in 1000 years - - not much progress to show for 1000 years of "jihad".

The map shows the dream of that same old radical faction within Islam that remains, even after a millenium, "stuck on stupid". The only way they can get "unstuck" and get the jihad they truly envision is if they manage to set off a global clash between the "green world" and the rest of the world. The source of the map may be legit. But without some rhyme or reason to the colors to "break their code" (if any), despite all the small print, the map never really says anything new (except they believe Islam will one day rule the world, which comes as no shock)

Most people still do not understand that 9/11 was not really about us. Actually, none of the terror attacks is ultimately about us (the "infidel" colored countries). We are just props in their pseudo-religious morality play. It is all about the green countries (or more precisely the literal 99.95% of the Muslim world that even after 1000 years still will not engage in active global "jihad").

Jihadis (Sunni or Shia) cannot unify all the "green" countries under their radical banner of a mythical Caliphate unless they somehow create a situation that forces them to band together to defend themselves against the rest of the world. The vast majority of the Islamic world after all this time remains completely unwilling to participate in an "offensive" jihad, but if they become convinced that the entire Muslim world is under attack, then they will possibly come together to fight "defensive" jihad.

This is the reason for all the tapes over the past 10 years. It is to repeatedly argue their case to the "home crowd" (which is not yet convinced) that the entire world is attacking them, and that this militant faction of jihadis are therefore only acting in self-defense on their behalf when they go out and kill "infidels", and so jihad is the only solution for Muslims to survive.

So when they attack American civilians again, but on a much larger scale, it will be only after repeated "warnings" and "invitations" to relent, and then only in "self-defense". The warnings are not so much for us but for the billion-plus Muslim spectators on the sidelines, many of whom, but not all , are citizens of the green countries, who may hate American policies (as do the majorities in virtually every other country on that map as well, including our "allies'), but are not ready to sign onto the global religious war of the jihadis in the name of defending Islam. It is a sign of the weakness of global jihad that they have had to spend years preparing their populations for the use of WMD against America. Their people need all this convincing . . . because they are not convinced.

It is damning evidence that the Muslim world really does not want global jihad and never has. After 10 years of telling them that the West/infidels are committing genocide in Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Kashmir, Palestine, Afghanistan, now Iraq, with over a billion Muslims, you couldn't fill two football stadiums if you rounded up every single international jihadi fighter on the planet. And even if you included those who actively support them, but do not actually wage jihad, you still have a fraction of a fraction. That is why the jihadis have been pursuing the "holy grail" of WMD. They need to set off a war of mutual mass murder, so they truly get mutual "genocide" and in that way infect the rest of the Islamic world with the martyrdom complex that afflicts jihadis. A WMD war is the only way the jihadi death cult gets the 99% of those on the sidelines to come drink their kool aid. This is not about us.

This small band of global revolutionaries is trying to set off an apocalypse by using WMD to start a global war/civilizational clash, so that all those green countries (who have little to do with one another at this point and have not for most of the past 1000 years) then come together to form a "caliphate" in "self-defense". That is the only way jihadis will come to power. It is the only way they will ever succeed because they have nothing to show for the past 1000 years. Almost all the Islamic world - - Iraqis, Bosnians, Lebanese, Iranians, Indonesians, Kosovars, Nigerians, etc are more concerned about putting food on the table, keeping their kids safe, and taking care of their futures than going off to fight jihad.

So if the revolution of global jihad cannot convince the Islamic world to willingly go embrace jihad and fight for their cause, they will force the war to come to them. And the only way they will ever get the bees in the "infidel" beehive to come attack them in their own countries (and create their excuse for global jihad) is to go hit the beehive as hard as they can, then go run and hide behind the women and children of the "green countries" (Muslim world) so that when massive numbers of Muslim civilians then get killed in the crossfire, they can then scream to the spectators who are sitting on the fence - - "let all Muslims join us now to go fight jihad". That is why they have long needed something sufficiently large to provoke a retaliation large enough to set this train in motion. That is the playbook. Not that map.

"November 3, 2003: A new message was posted in the last few hours by the Jeddah-based al-Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society calling on Muslims to flee New York, Washington and Los Angeles in advance of major al Qaeda attacks in those cities."

That was the story that started TM in Ramadan 2003.

http://islam.about.com/library/weekly/aa032801c.htm

26 October 2003 Ramadan begins
25 November 2003 Eid al-Fitr
1 February 2004 Eid al-Adha


And so now we come "full circle" . . .

Catholic School Security Up After Online Threat

UPDATED: 9:09 am EDT September 18, 2006

HICKSVILLE, N.Y. -- A Catholic high school increased security Monday after an unspecified threat was discovered on MySpace.com, the school announced.

All but three entrances at Holy Trinity High School in Hicksville were to be locked, with Nassau County police officers posted at each entrance, the school said in a notice on its Web site.

Police were not releasing details of the threat because the investigation was ongoing, said spokeswoman Officer Jean DeLuca.

The threat was made "through communications taking place on the MySpace.com Web site" and was scheduled to occur on Monday, according to the school announcement.

It was expected that the school day would be uninterrupted, except for delays entering the building, the message said.

He said the man appeared to be having a seizure, and was taken to a hospital.

Not to worry - just another "disturbed" individual.

The Iraq connection on both is interesting.

I was wondering if this could be some crackdown before a feared event that may be upcoming in the U.S.

As that Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times..."

I have expected Hell to break loose since 9-11, and while I am pleased it has not, believe it's only a matter of time before "something nasty this way comes."
