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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned.

Also specialized groups carried out from braves Iraq with the execution of successful operations largely against remainder oil facilities in north of Iraq in each of Pizhi and Kirkuk and in south of Iraq in Basra for a completion and the continuation of keeping the complete stop for the production of the stolen national oil from the branches land .

Stolen? I thought we were buying it at nearly $48 per barrel. Not to mention expending a hell of a lot of U.S. taxpayer money to provide security to the facilities. The dopes probably don't understand that the money flow STOPS if the oil stops. We are not making them a gift of money and stealing oil.

Bush is a Saudi hostage
World Net Daily

A counterattack is underway in the war against terrorism declared by President George W. Bush, and it is not being led by Osama bin Laden. While the terrorists who attacked America on 9-11 are on the run, it is the regime that fostered them that is striking back.

The Arab state that has the most to lose by the spread of democracy in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia. There is no avoiding the fact that, of the 19 murdering terrorists of 9-11, 15 were Saudi citizens, and the fact that bin Laden himself is a Saudi billionaire. Questions remain as to how many more Saudis were involved then - and are still involved - in imposing Wahabist fundamentalism through acts of heinous terrorism.

It is this regime that is most threatened by Bush's courageous stand against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. It is the Saudis who fear Bush's pledge to encourage democracy in the Middle East. They fear him because, unlike presidents who merely paid lip service to these noble ideals, he has invaded Muslim countries to halt the world-threatening proliferation of Islamist terrorism.

In January 2004, the Saudi government daily, Okaz, published an editorial titled, "The American President, George Bush, Threatens the World with War!" It stated: "The American President George Bush ... did not stop beating the drums of war in his address! In contrast with his previous address ... in which he celebrated the decision to go to war against Afghanistan and announced the war on Iraq, in his last address the American president turned war into an open option and threatened additional wars if the American people elect him for another term ..." (translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute).

One reason Riyadh wants to restrict Bush to one term is Iraq - whose vast and virtually unexploited oil reserves will soon be able to challenge the Saudis' regional monopoly. But along with liberating Iraq's oil, Bush has freed that country's Shiite majority - whose branch of Islam is despised by the Saudi Wahabis - from Saddam's oppression.

Bush's actions have challenged the legitimacy of the Saudi royal family, which is based on its self-appointed role as defender of Islam's holiest sites and proselytizer of its doctrine. As Ed Lasky wrote on March 24, 2004, in the American Thinker: "George Bush has become an apostate to the Saudis. It is not merely a matter of interests, but rather an issue of deep principle, fundamentally linked to their own way of life, and to their survival."

Bush frightens the rulers of Mecca and Medina as a proudly declared born-again Christian who belongs to the religious wing of the Republican Party. To the Saudis - who forbid the practice of Christianity - Bush is a powerful and threatening infidel.

The fanatical Wahabi leaders of Saudi Arabia have long taught their adherents - like Osama bin Laden - that Islam is fighting a holy war (jihad) against the West. Given Bush's religious identification and the Saudis paranoia about the supposed influence of Jewish neo-conservatives inside and outside the White House, it is not hard to understand how eager the Saudis are to get Bush out of Washington.

The Saudis are acting to end George W. Bush's career by using their only strategic weapon: oil. If they can raise oil prices until the election, thereby weakening the U.S. economy, this will be reflected in the vote. Riyadh has reduced OPEC output since the end of hostilities in Iraq, driving up oil prices and thereby slowing the American economic recovery. From a low of $23.61 per barrel in May 2003, crude oil prices rose steadily to over $43 per barrel at the beginning of August 2004. If the price continues to climb, the economic consequences for the United States may be as gloomy as the electoral result for Bush.

On the campaign trail, Saudi-funded think-tanks have been forthcoming with articles and interviews critical of Bush. One organization, the Middle East Institute, is run by ex-ambassador to Saudi Arabia Edward Walker and employs another ex-diplomat, Joseph Wilson, who has vowed to help end Bush's tenure. Wilson has charged in his book, "The Politics of Truth," that the White House leaked to columnist Robert Novak that Wilson's wife was a CIA agent, thereby endangering her. Given that Wilson is also a dedicated critic of Israel, the fact he has been hired by the Kerry campaign is a hefty dividend for the Saudis' investment.

The Saudis are betting on Kerry because he is a liberal like Bill Clinton who has chosen Clintonites to advise him, like Israeli affairs adviser Jay Footlik, a Clinton leftover and supporter of the Oslo accords that led to the last four bloody years of intifada in Israel. Footlik advocates unilateral Israeli concessions and champions "evenhandedness" - giving the suicide bomber and his victims the same measure of understanding. Riyadh is no doubt pleased that Footlik promises to help Kerry be just as bad for Israel as he helped Clinton to be.

Your post brought me to tears.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you about her two cats, who stay outdoors. They wouldn't come in during Charley. They hid in the woods behind Vicki's house. Miraculously, they showed up at her back door later that night. How do two cats survive 135-mph winds?! God was definitely watching over them.

Thank you, Velveeta. A good read. What a good idea to put it on your page. Excellent thinking for any age!

That jihadi discourse and poems echo some of their most popular and repeated phrases: The classic "Hit your expected hit," and the year-old "the trained Manhattan," etc.

The portion that reads "Manhattan days" and "Tomorrow o Bush is your date" is one we have seen before, too. I am not sure if they simply repeated it or are applying it to some new -- or postponed -- attack plans.

Also, they never grow tired of patting themselves on their backs over what they did on 911, do they? Trouble is they have not accomplished it again here in America since. And that really bothers them too. They are told over and again to have patience (as they see their brothers and sisters locked up and their plans thwarted and no further hits on the continental U.S.). Boo-hoo for them NOT.

Great line! Fascinating to see the mindset, isn't it?

[Lucy Lake]

U.S. government policy requires that young Middle Eastern men who are caught crossing illegally into the United States from Mexico be treated the same as illegal aliens from elsewhere in the world

--meaning that if they don't have criminal records, don't appear on government watch lists and are not deemed to be suspicious by the federal law enforcement officers who interview them, they most likely will be released into the U.S. population."

In the history of the world no country has invited the enemy in and then helped the enemy destroy their own country --- until now.

I pondered that for a while. It was just much too long to leave on the thread.

Thanks for your analysis. Same old, same old. Bunch of whiners...

Thanks, Grizz.

How does that match up with the Saudi list?

More on the 'Mysterious Balloon' over the Twin Cities yesterday...

Click Link for Video : Link

Aviation and weather experts are baffled by a mysterious object spotted in the skies over Minnesota.

The large, shiny, white object was spotted by many people who contacted 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Thursday. It appeared to be a balloon of some kind.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Weather Service could not confirm exactly what the object was.

Weather service meteorologists say it was not one of their balloons.

Quite correct... unfortunately.

[MamaDearest]

This is totally awful and so under-reported.

One article gave a 4,000 type number of active Leprosy cases and the other cited 7,000+, making it appear to be epidemic in a way of speaking. It's not only under-reported, but not reported at all unless you happen to be reading medical journals.

[MamaDearest]

Thank you Cindy! Prayers needed and appreciated. She will be very happy to hear you are praying for her because she is a very spiritual Christian girl who loves God dearly.

We plan to drive the distance carefully, and hope we don't have to mortgage our home to pay for the gasoline (I'm sure it won't be that bad, but we are noting gasoline prices are increasing here).

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Not all of that is old most likely, though. Also, "Hit your expected hit" has sometimes made the rounds before a hit as a go signal it appears. The attacks took place overseas in those cases. Yet sometimes a hit never transpired for reasons unknown. So it is difficult to determine whether such discourse will translate into an action. Time always tells.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Thank you for sharing that account, JellyJam. You are a very thoughtful co-worker to have! :)

and then there is this Al-Libi...

FBI.gov - MOST WANTED TERRORISTS: "ANAS AL-LIBI"
http://www.fbi.gov/mostwant/terrorists/teralliby.htm


and here's this article regarding which references "Abu Faraj Al Libbi alias Dr Taufeeq"

"$1m reward for al-Qaeda info"
18/08/2004 14:07  - (SA)  

ARTIFCLE SNIPPET: "All six are al-Qaeda suspects believed to have played a role in two December attempts to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf.

Hiding in Pakistan

The Libyan, listed in the advertisement as Abu Faraj Al Libbi alias Dr Taufeeq, ranks number three in al-Qaeda's new generation of operatives, replacing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who was captured in March 2003, according to a senior Pakistani security official.

"This Libyan ranks third in the current al-Qaeda hierarchy after Osama bin Laden and his (Egyptian) deputy Ayman Al Zawahiri," the official said.

"Faraj heads the international operational wing of Al-Qaeda, with the help of an Egyptian accomplice Abu Hamza Rabia," he said.

"Faraj is the man who has been masterminding and organising terror strikes in Pakistan and we looking for him desperately."

The capture of Faraj and Rabia would "deal a telling blow to the network," he added.

A United States Central Intelligence Agency list of most wanted terror suspects offers a bounty of $5m for both Rabia and Faraj, the Pakistani official said."

"And it’s good news, too, that the much-cited Internet threats from the so-called Abu-Hafs Al-Masri Brigades, which purport to be an offshoot of Al Qaeda, are probably less nuclear, biological or chemical than they are chimerical."

Chuckle. Good writing in that article.
