FBI urges vigilance for July 4
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A constant stream of intelligence indicating that al Qaeda wants to strike the United States this summer or fall has led federal officials to urge increased vigilance during the Independence Day weekend, but there is no specific threat of an attack timed to the holiday.

JustPiper pointed out this article back in the first link in her post #1966. Let's hope this guy quoted in the article is a pessimist because just look at the first paragraph of the article:
Global War on Terror (GWOT), Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and Collective Intelligence Come Together at NYC Hackers Conference
WASHINGTON, July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Robert David Steele Vivas, CEO of OSS.Net, Inc., a global commercial intelligence corporation, "The Global War on Terror (GWOT) is unwinnable as the U.S. Government is now trained, equipped, and organized. Absent a National Security Act that creates deep intelligence reform as well as a new capacity to execute long-term inter- agency strategic campaigns across six fronts simultaneously, Bin Laden will do to the US what the Cold War did to the Soviet Union -- drive us into financial and moral bankruptcy."
I hope your wrong as I will be out of town, 500 miles from home that week. And I will be much much closer than I am now to D.C. to boot.

Re: Terminal sorts of events looming or potential.
Has bet $1,000 that a bioterror or "bioerror" incident will claim one million lives by 2020 (see www.longbets.org/9).

Uhhhh, Davey, it appears you forgot and posted this on the TM thread instead of the TP thread. I'll respond on the other thread.
Thanks for that followup.
Incident on Ft. Lauderdale cruise happened on Tuesday, July 6th......not July 2nd....
Thanks all4one, it is in the least good to know, that
we are stopping these ships.
Finally caught up! Thanks again folks for your hard work. Seems like the threats are coming a mile a minute these days. Not sure if it's good or not, but I'm getting used to them. Won't let my guard down, but I am used to the threat level we all face these days.
Don't have anything to contribute right now. It's been very quite in my area lately. If anything changes, I'll post if I'm able.

Just happened.....
The stolen explosives are a little too close. I heard they were stolen from a Resevoir(Cystal Springs). Not good at all.
One interesting thing I noticed last night. The mosque in Beaverton, Oregon that Brandon Mayfield attended, has deleted quite a bit of info. When Mayfield was first held by the FBI I scoured their website with a fine tooth comb. Found some very interesting stuff. Now, it is a spare, bare-basics website. They're on to us ;-)
As was praying this morning. I had a very sobering feeling that we are far from out of the woods in terms of very devastating attacks.
In fact, I felt that we need to prayerfully consider doing what we can about:
REPLACING CONGRESS CRITTERS SHOULD THE CAPITAL BE STRUCK.
I believe the globalists will be, or already have set things up to usher all globalists into those slots. We would do well to do preliminary work through--I guess State Republican orgs??? to insure that very conservative people supporting the Constitution replace any lost through terror.
Thanks Cindy. I can't believe that function has been in front of my face, all this time, and I haven't noticed it. (Slinking away in shame).
Thanks Cal. I'm still quite leery of the N.J. mosque sites. I do have two firewalls up and run ad-aware and spybot.
Just came on board folks.
I was over at TB2000 and one of the regulars there suggested that her information be added to the "threat Matrix".
Here it is:
"I don't know, but I just got off a long phone call with my sister who lives on the Orchard Park/Lackwanna border (2 burbs) just outside Buffalo proper, and she says all the Muslims have basically disappeared. Stores closed, hasn't seen any in weeks. And Lackawanna had a big Muslim population. I didn't ask her, she volunteered it out of nowhere.
Anyone wants to add this to the Threat Matrix on FR, go right ahead. I'm not a member there."

Plum Island Gets Federal Security Support
Jul 7, 2004 11:29 am US/Eastern
(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) The Department of Homeland Security reportedly agreed to patrol Plum Island Animal Disease Center to supplement private security at the facility, which is considered a potential terrorist target.
Federal Protective Service officers, who have legal authority to make arrests and receive specialized information about threats, began guarding the island three weeks ago, Newsday reported Wednesday.
Officers with the agency had been temporarily assigned to guard the facility off the coast of Long Island for periods in the past few years, but none were permanently stationed there.
Since Sept. 11, 2001, public officials and others have raised questions about security at the facility after a report by the General Accounting Office identified security gaps there.
The Department of Homeland Security took over operations on the island from the Department of Agriculture on June 1, 2003.
The contractor has been replaced and Agriculture Department scientists are now responsible only for laboratory research.
Researchers at the facility study contagious animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease and African swine fever.

Fire, Fumes Prompt Hotel Evacuation
POSTED: 12:12 pm EDT July 7, 2004
UPDATED: 12:16 pm EDT July 7, 2004
NEWARK, N.J. -- Fumes from a transformer fire sickened some guests and prompted the evacuation of the Best Western hotel in Newark Wednesday morning.
A fire department spokesman says carbon monoxide from the fire made some guests nauseous. About
15 to 20 people were taken to area hospitals as a precaution.
About 20 rooms above the basement site of the fire were most affected. But the fire department spokesman says the entire 80-room, six-floor hotel near Newark Liberty International Airport was evacuated as a precaution.
The fire was extinguished shortly after the alarm.
