Threat Matrix: 2009

Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

"America Supports You" spotlights what Americans are doing in support of the military all across the land, encourages others to thank the troops and allows all to tell their stories by giving voice and visibility to their efforts.

Being prepared is a good thing, no matter where one lives; no matter what alert level we are on.

It seems like there’s an even more dangerous undertow these days.

I think that when folks are feeling unsettled, they tend to check in to TM.

Welcome to the best forum on the net and a hearty welcome to Threat Matrix.

They never actually said they were or they weren’t. There were different articles at different times from different places and different sources as to BOTH real and unreal depending on who was speaking or writing. Nothing proven. Nothing definitive. Nothing final. It simply disappeared off the radar screen.
It was an odd number too, that just happened to match EXACTLY the amount the FED could not account for.

Yep, FReepers are the very best on the net. We welcome you, your research and posts. I always read what you have to say....and am impressed.

Thank you, and BTW, NYT is the clintons’ mouthpiece.

“Threat Matrix”

Absolutely the very best, longest running thread on FR. Thanks are due to so many dedicated patriots. We know their names.

You’re right, it did fall off the radar quite quickly. Hmmmm....

There is just so much. It’s so hard to line up all the details that are swimming in my head. It invades my sleep. Something comes to the forefront and I need to reach back in time to match it up with what I see today. The BIGGER picture is always there. Trying to downsize it and put it into words is difficult.

...and to think, for me, it all started with curiosity over the “fruit vendor”.

A hearty thank you to all dedicated TM patriots, past and present. Special thoughts of those who are no longer with us, but in the arms of the Lord.

Aaaa....the “fruit vendor”. What that JerseyGirl who was watching him? At my age, I’m getting a bit of that ‘CRS’ disease. JustPiper kept us going for quite a while, too. Does anyone know what happened to her? There are so many TM’ers I miss.

I just looked at your profile page. I seem to be involved in a LOT of coincidences these days.
It actually happens to me alot, but your first line about Tony...
I just mentioned him, though not by name, in a freepmail a couple of days ago because I’ve been getting warnings from old “friends” to watch my back. I was upset because he has had enough and gone public and that is dangerous.
Up until a few months ago, I felt reasonably safe. Not anymore.
As to Kurt Weldon. I found his name on a terrorist website that had deciphered a dead , (murdered in Iraq,) agent’s stolen laptop hard drive as one of his contacts, along with other agents names, codenames, addresses, (and the names of members of their families,) involved in DARPA projects and other duty stations all over the world.
I warned them, ALL of them, immediately, but don’t know if some of them were gotten to or not. It gets crazy out there.

I was going to ask the same question.

Is this one of the reasons the fed will not allow an audit?

I have always thought,after what I read about him and actually getting to chat with him a few minutes one time on c-span,that Col Shaffer was the best of the best.I still do.

I used to think that about Weldon as well. Than a few freepers got ahold of me and now I have huge questions and little info. Plus a very well connected friend of mine from Penn. made some really interesting statements about Weldon,so at this point,I know little about him.

And a special thanks to you. You have been dedicated to the thread from the beginning. I am guilty of not stopping by as much as I should. Glad to see everyone still here.

Partly. And partly because they have consistently lied about how much and to whom fed money is going. There are articles up now about how the hardest hit states are getting the least amount of help from the fed.
They don’t want us to know where they have borrowed money from and who actually controls the purse strings, or what we have had to use as collateral to secure these loans.
This includes American real property including federal lands which the government is not supposed to own in the first place. And tons of foreclosed properties that no one seems to realize is like money in the bank. These properties are still very valuable, but the banks and mortage lenders don’t want you to know that.
It’s a scam. All of it. Everything they have said they lost is only on paper. The truth is, they haven’t lost anything because the properties are tangible assets.

You guys are doing great work on the thread. I've just been in "heads down" mode at work. There's just not enough hours in the day to attend to all the good info here and earn a paycheck. I agree with respect to the number of trolls with old screen names. It makes you wonder if the user database on FR has been hacked.
