The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Hi Fred Pleasure to meet you:)

Your analyst of Islam is very correct and thank you for posting stay around we need you:):):)

No, she is not... I guess I am not either (I was brought up to observe many of the traditions until recently). I do hold a special place in my heart for Israel though (I'm thinking about going there for Graduate School). I think the fact that my father is Jewish is what made me so intent on getting involved in the WOT (it all goes back to the Jews in the end, does it not?).

WHAT: Welcoming Rally for Ambassador Alan Keyes.

WHERE: Wellington Restaurant, 2121 South Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL.

WHEN: Sunday, August 8, 2004 at 2:00 PM

And we were there and I have not had such an overwhelming experience since Nixon's rallies!

Ronald Reagan showed through all Alan said!

We got there early 1:30 and crowd was building but was to be at least 1000 strong!!! A State Senator said he was sorry to us all for not realising the support Keyes would have and the fact we needed a bigger hall! My son and daughter had their cameras (one digital, many photos I will put on site later) as the two poster she has already made for me posted here

Kinetic was immediately interviewed for her take on the youth for Keyes

We did not have a clue we were in the path where Alan would enter -guardian guidance- so they got perfect shots!

The surprise of the day is my old family friend's appearance, Henry Hyde, poor Oh Henry, ailing and frail but he was there!

As were every lib media who I yelled at telling them I certainly hope they would report this correctly! The only station to put the lib spin on it of course was ABC!

Alan himself called the press out on their liberal coverage!

So much happened don't have a clue where to begin...
feel free to ask questions!

But for my friends here I want you to know I 'spoke' to the whole 5-6 protestors outside who were whining about "CarpetBagger" I said vote for Hilliary. They got all excited like the sheeple they are. I said OK, now take your silly posters down because she disliked y'll enough to leave Illinois and carpetbag to NYC! The state police were laughin...and then I snapped me fingers, said pffft and walked away ;)

Alan ended his speech, which btw had many of us in tears,
with it doesn't matter what politicians say, it doesn't matter what anyone says BECAUSE this is in "God's" hands and if the libs think they saw tough times before, he is declaring they have seen nothing yet!

The "Yes, I proudly have my two Keyes posters up already" Piper

PS I finally met a longtime FR buddy Freeper Unspun and talked to another Freeper Cfrels {Thanks Cfrel!},who guided me to other Freeper's after the rally, sadly I missed most of you due to the crowd!

WOW! Huge crowd in Arlington Hts!!So crowded it was hard to find Freepers, but a few of us found each other.

It was very hot inside, but the turnout was great and Dr. Keyes was FANTASTIC. Lots of press there, I hope they understood his speech....if all they ask about is Maryland and campaign debt, we'll know they didn't understand anything.


technochick99 08/08/2004 4:15:35 PM CDT

Whoo hoo! What a great thing to hear Dr. Keyes speak!! I managed to get there late enough to not get in, but met up with a couple of FReepers. I am very inspired, to say the least.

richnwise 08/08/2004 4:03:21 PM CDT

Just came from the rally since I live a block away and it was great! Saw a lot of Freepers there, although I didn't read the posts this morning before I got to the rally, I knew they wouldn't let us down! There were at least 400-500 inside and half of the parking lot outside was full! Good turn-out! Couple of democRATs showed up with signs saying "Carpet Bagger" and "hypocrite". I had to go over to them and find out what was going on. Afterwards I had to wipe off the fairy dust from standing too close to them while arguing with them. All in all, I saw that Republicans in this state are ready to have someone to back with vigure and are willing to put aside their differences so that we keep the lilly liberals out of office!

I will post many pics my son took later!

Hey Knak - here is an edited version of the posts:
Sorry i left you off the original To:

Translation and analysis


Greetings.

Thanks for sending this. It's a on-peage religious flyer ("A Journey without a Return")

Akin to Christian evangelicals' exhortation.admonition that "your ticket to heaven/paradise awaits you if you read God's book (in this case, al-Quran) and (follow the Sunnah) do good things in this life, etc....."

Drawing in upper left corner is generic Islamic symbolism = curved roof of mosque and flanked by two minaret towers.

Regards,

Thanks for this. It's still a sobering translation in light of the use of the airplane drawing and reference to "a journey without a return".

I agree. BTW the guy who looked at it has many years in the ME training their police and CI types.

"curved roof of mosque and flanked by two minaret towers."

Huh?

All of the minarets I have ever seen have been pointed not square

Follow-up

Greetings again.

The diagram might suggest an aircraft strike against the Olympics, but the text is overall pretty bland.

That said, however, at this point, I would not discount anything about possible hits against the Olympics.

The security arrangements by the Greek government are shoddy and wobbly. Since, as I understand, the "airspace region" there is tightly controlled and monitored, my bet would be on a vehicle-borne IED (gas truck, fuel tanker bomb and the like) attack against the more-accessible athletes' housing areas, not the stadia and other venues of the events.

Regards,

Yeah - me too.

"Drawing in upper left corner is generic Islamic symbolism = curved roof of mosque and flanked by two minaret towers."

As he said ... it is a "generic Islamic symbolism".

And as this is a religious propaganda flyer it seems to me good marketing on the author of the flyers part. i.e., rule 1. Get prospects attention before delivering your message.

As aircraft and buildings in the same graphic are in the collective consciousness of the majority of the worlds muslims (and ours) - what a great attention grabber. Not to mention the play on words "journey without a return". Great marketing attention getter.

As for his take on the building - I will go with his read - because it was his business as a professional. ";^)

Interesting observations, liberallyconservative. It all sounds like it rings true.

I saw this on the news for one day only. The local news in this area is busy dogging Bush and the local newspapers are busy printing AP articles about the bad economy. Pathetic indeed! The people in Scranton are busy with Kerry as their hero while terrorist scope out their "electric City". Pathetic.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Yes, I think you are right. :)

And Israel being I guess what we can call a millstone or burden to the world, as is written.

[Fred Nerks]

Thanks for the reply. I hope you enjoy and learn from the biography. You gave me cause to smile. Mohammad 'in his travels as a merchant' is at best, a fairy-tale. He married an older woman and found her assetts useful. Now who does THAT remind me of?
I would be interested to hear from you at some future date to find out if you feel that reading the book has been educational.

[FairOpinion]

I haven't had the time to follow the thread, and now there is too much to review, so I don't know, if this was posted, but it's just "curious", so I mention it:

Water Quality Alert ( Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles area, California)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1186644/posts

"At approximately 4:00 AM this morning there was a failure at an Edison substation resulting in power a power outage at our pumping facilities. Although emergency generators and pumps came on line, a valving failure resulted in a loss of pressure in the city’s water system. In addition, an extreme power surge disabled communications of the City’s water supply monitoring system. Due to the communication outage the City is not able to determine if there was a complete loss of water pressure or just reduced pressure throughout the city. Therefore, we are advising all residents and businesses to take precautions.

As a safety precaution, residents and businesses are advised to use boiled tap or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes for the next 48 hours or until further notified. "

===

I checked the city site, and as of the time of this post, everything is back to normal, but I just find it odd, that losing power would cause a water contamination problem, lasting a couple of days, as this has.

If it was just an accident, it still points to a serious vulnerability -- an entire town impacted. And how did people get the word, I didn't see anything about it on TV or on the internet, except the website of the city.

And another Hmmm to throw in here, is that the interactive terror target guide at MSNBC, link posted at:

Attention Al Qaeda: Roadmap to U.S. Targets
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1187458/posts

Or direct link to MSNBC:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5636197/site/newsweek/

mentions Northrop Grumman aerospace company as a target, specifically their HQ in LA, but it just so happens that they have a major facility in Manhattan Beach.

I am reading Steve Emerson's Jihad in America. I will check your recommendation out on the next library visit.

[JustPiper]

Hopefully this won't run out of bandwidth!

[judicial meanz]

I could write a book on it, and it would probably be comedy even though our life together has been tested by a milion things. She is one of the funniest people I have ever known..LOL

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Christians also refer to God as Abba. I always wondered where this came from.

[JustPiper]

Same with this one.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

You sound like a very happy spouse despite all the usual trials of married life; hell, life in general! That is so good to hear in this day and age.

[BriarBey]

The only thing I have to say is "You shall know the truth and the truth shall MAKE you free." Dig for it...like a pot of silver hidden on an acre field. I see alot posted here, and alot of it is nothing more than a smoke screen to keep you busy and away from the truth. All of it heartfelt and genuine, but still busy work. Identify the Whore in Genesis, she is the SAME Whore in Revelation, THEN find her daughters, because they will return to her. She is at the beginning and at the end of the book and she has offspring. That's all I am going to say, because unless you unearth it yourself, that pot of silver doesn't mean near as much to you and you can't fathom it all if someone is feeding the truth (meat) in large quantities, you'll choke on it and spit it out. Just go to the library, hit the history books, go to archeology and look at the artifacts found from back in that time. It is all very BLACK AND WHITE. God in not into gray areas, He is about black and white...for Him or against Him. KNOW your enemy. Be as gentle as doves and as sly as serpents.

Mohammad 'in his travels as a merchant' is at best, a fairy-tale.

It's a fairy-tale? Interesting, I have been told that numerous times and have read it in numerous sources...

I know one of his wives, Khadija, was much older than he and it was a marriage of convenience in many regards. I know she was quite wealthy and helped him spread the word of Islam (I'm guessing you are paralleling their relationship with that of the man running for President for the dim party ;-) ). Did she not control a vast trading system in the ancient ME? I thought he was a merchant within her trading system and spent much time speaking with Christians and Jews.

[judicial meanz]

Abba is Hebrew for father. It was also Aramaic for Father.

My father is Jewish too.

Depending on the sect of Judaism, that either makes you Jewish or not Jewish.

Some sects accept patrilineal lineage as Jewish, and others ( Orthodox, Hareidi, etc) use the Halacha rules for guidance that specifies the mother is the source of Jewish heritage. Reform and Karaites accept patrilineal descent as Jewish too IIRC, and maybe Reconstructionists, but I dont remember.
