Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

There you go again. First it's not one but TWO keyboards, and now you're shattering the very foundation of my existence.

My reality requires that you cease to exist immediately.

That was a good post by you also, Laby. I just think that the subscription-only newsletter is propietary information and it should only be posted here at the desire or with the permission of the newsletter organization.

The same argument can be made for subscription newspapers, and indeed any newspaper that is sold to the public. Although I'm not 100% certain, I don't beleive that the copyright laws prohibit the limited, non-commercial reproduction of copyrighted material for discussion and debate, particularly when the copyrighted material concerns matters of public concern or interest. The rules become even more complicated when the copyright holder leaks or encourages the disemination of the protected material, and then screams and yells when the material is discussed in a public forum.

Well...breaking news from my town..."MAJOR Terror Arrest" in Poway.

It's in connection to the charity thing in Texas. A 50 year old here was arrested as part of that Holy Land Foundation Charity in TX. He moved here from NJ and they said this guy knew exactly where this money was going, although his lawyer is saying no (of course). They believe he is mostly living in and most of his involvement was really more in the Scripps Ranch area...so I'm not sure if the OFFICE was in Poway, or why they are saying (and filming in) Poway instead of Scripps Ranch (which is just a community in San Diego).

This news station, KFMB, is saying that there is an increase in chatter and anything could happen at any day now (terrorist event wise).

This was an oddly strong stance about impending terrorist attack possibilities, and really uncharacteristic of how they have responded when other San Diego area connections with terrorism (or allegations of such) have occured, even the ones involved with 9-11 that were found to have been here.

I'm thinking Kyla is still gone, and I don't know if anyone else can even get KFMB (the CBS San Diego affiliate) but I'm hoping that when they put the story on their website that it will be essentially what they just said and not all watered down. At the moment there is nothing on their site about it.

It really struck me the tone of this report and the urgency in their voices about it.

Anyway, will see what I can find... Here's one article from another local station...very different tone than this other report had. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/3584263/detail.html

Can someone tell me why so much of the forum has been removed?

Because of Sean Osborne Lomax of NEIN. He claimed copyright infringement because his pay-for-view "top-secret highest level" intel was posted publicly on the net, even though measures were taken here on TM to avoid posting it on FR. He claimed defamation because he couldn't handle a little scrutiny of his "analysis".

I think JimRob decided it was best to just quickly remove all the posts and get Sean out of here instead of going through each and every one trying to decide what might offend Mr. Osborne Lomax.

One day they're gonna detonate something that'd best be left sealed.

I've often wondered about that.

Hmm...

Past experience indicates law enforcement activity escalates before high intensity terrorism periods.

Good catch

Here's part of it, which was still in my email "sent" box:

A Border Patrol spokesman has confirmed that since Oct. 1, 2003, 5,510 illegal aliens designated as "Other Than Mexican" ]

(OTM) have been apprehended while crossing the rugged terrain in southern Arizona. The term actually means "other than Mexico or other central and South American countries," the spokesman said.
So just who are, and from where, is this invading force of encroachers coming from?

"Can"t tell you that", said Border Patrol spokesman Andy Adame, (at the risk of losing his job,) when queried by the Tombstone Tumbleweed newspaper yesterday. Agent Adame declined to say what countries the OTM illegals are from, although he admitted detainees include "people from all over the world." Adame added, "We apprehend them, process them, and turn them over to [the U.S. Department of] Homeland Security and the FBI and that is all I can say."

Fasten your seatbelt: It gets considerably worse!

Three independent sources within the Border Patrol's uniformed division - agents who patrol the Arizona outback in the dark of night - told the Tombstone Tumbleweed newspaper that a significant amount of the OTMs are of Middle Eastern extraction.

When confronted with this information by the newspaper, (at the risk of losing his job) Agent Adame denied that anybody of Middle Eastern origin was a part of the figure of 5,510. But Border Patrol sources are adamant that this is indeed the case.

Editor Simcox of the Tombstone Tumbleweed could not identify his sources, but told DefenseWatch they are serving Border Patrol agents who were involved in the apprehension and detention of OTMs, suspected to be Iranian or Syrian nationals.
Recently, the border patrol has stepped up its enforcement in the southeast quadrant of Arizona, which includes the area of the Huachuca Mountains in Cochise County. The Cochise County seat is in Bisbee, an artsy copper mining town, with a colorful past, located just a few miles north of the America"s southern border with Mexico.

Southeast Arizona has other high-visibility and potential high payoff targets, of profound terrorist relevance. At the foot of the Huachuca Mountains lies Fort Huachuca, the home of the U.S. Army Intelligence Command and school.

Putting yourself in the mind of a terrorist, as a good intelligence analyst must do when seeking to establish a potential "symbolic target list" that a terrorist may covet, there exists no more desirable an objective than the Army"s Intelligence School. Fort Huachuca is a modern version of a 19th Century cavalry outpost that is nestled on the western edge of Sierra Vista Arizona. Also, it is only a short distance from the Mexican border.

In fact, only a few weeks ago Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge visited Fort Huachuca to press the flesh with the troops and to get the "skinny" on the Border Patrol"s use of unmanned aerial vehicles as an aid to enforcement. (If the reader believes that the Border Patrol is employing UAV technology merely to catch some errant migrant workers then I have a bridge in Brooklyn just for you.

According to the Tombstone editor"s sources, on June 13, 2004, Border Patrol agents from the Wilcox, Ariz., patrol station encountered a large group of illegal border crossers in the Chiricaucha Mountain foothills, just east of what is known as The Sanders Ranch. Agents estimated that the group comprised about 100 people.

Border Patrol sources who were present at this mass apprehension state that they seized 71 illegal aliens, of whom 53 were males of Middle Eastern decent. The suspects did not speak Spanish and spoke only poor English, sources told the newspaper.

In fact, after a group of the detainees had been placed in a transport van, one Border Patrol agents on the scene who speaks Arabic and Farsi, the native language of Iran, clearly overheard the detainees speaking Arabic through an air vent in the transport vehicle.

Higher-ups in the Border Patrol allegedly ordered these agents involved not to say a thing to the news media.

"But I have to," one of the agents told the Tombstone editor, obviously acting out of concern of the potential terrorism threat as every American should be.

The agents involved in the June 13th incident noted that these suspects wore garb and clothing that is normally worn by migrants: baseball caps, tennis shoes, jeans, T-shirts even with patriotic American slogans.

But the agents said what was particularly odd was that all the clothing worn by the Middle Eastern males was brand new. Each one in the group looked to have had just been to a barber shop with fresh new haircuts, all clean cut, with the exact style and cut of mustaches.

Border Patrol sources, at the risk of being in violation of orders and losing their jobs, offered a subsequent chilling revelation. On June 21, 2004, they and their colleagues from the Wilcox Border Patrol station apprehended another 24 Arabic-speaking males in the area of Pierce/Sunsites. These small towns are approximately 25 miles northeast of Tombstone and not far from the Chiricaucha foothills.

Even more worrisome, the agents say, is that the 24 men who were seized were only part of a larger group. At least half of the group apparently escaped capture and remain on the loose in the United States.

Today, the 9/11 Commission formally released its report that catalogs the "failures of imagination, policy, capabilities and management" that enabled the terrorists to kill over 3,000 Americans. Is our nation"s failure to seal up the porous border with Mexico setting us up for another 9/11-type attack?

This Free Republic article mentions Tumbleweed:

Border Patrol field agents have shared some disturbing information with the hope the information will make it to the general public.

A flood of middle-eastern males have been caught entering the country illegally east of Douglas, Arizona. In the last month at least two documented accounts of Border Patrol agents encountering large groups of non-Spanish speaking males in the Chiricahua foothills and on trails along the high mountain areas.

Language, mate. Please.

We see a lot of hidden things here, and sometimes see hidden things where there are none.

No offense, but we don't suffer trolls well. We've had the thread jeopardized repeatedly. Free Republic has had a site wide issue with new people on occasion, those who sign up and engage in bombing runs. Some groups have signed up en mass for that purpose.

Just let it go, and participate.

Welcome to Free Republic and Threat Matrix. More eyes are ALWAYS welcome. :)
