Credit: The Cabal 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.

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. |

LOL
Please, don't start me on anything else.
Ancient cities....
hmmmmm rather makes one go hmmmmmmmm..........
Why do you say that?
The typical incubation period for inhalational anthrax is listed as 10 days. It can be as short as one day, but that is apparently rare and only with high dose exposure.
From the Coeur d'Alene Press (no link provided) my summary of their article: A suspicious man dressed in black carrying a backpack was seen trespassing on a one-way bridge behind Falls Park on private utility property Friday. The man fled when confronted. He accessed the site by climbing a tall fence with razor wire at the top. Police searched the area below the dam for 45 minutes but did not locate the man.
USA Today featured Sandpoint, Idaho as a primo city in which to live. Nearby Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls have beautiful birds and rabid bats:
I went all throught the CD Press and couldn't find anything about a "man dressed in black carrying a backpack." I must have missed it somewhere.
Could you point to where that is?
Thanks.
Hmmmm. Was laughing before at the strangeness of the words.
I think your thoughts are a distinct possibility.
We'll have to keep an eye open.
I see that you're humming. So am I. ;-)
I've got ancient town names all around me, I even live in one...
Maybe I should head somewhere else. ;-)
GET OUT NOW!
(kidding)
Try the first page of a google on "anthrax incubation period". One day for high dose, 10 days for a typical dose.
Fifteen or twenty years ago, I'd have agreed with you 100% but I think the plan that was set into motion so many years ago grows ever closer to fruition. The nature of this ultra long range plan is so brilliant and so blindingly bogus that only the Father of Lies can be behind it. Liberal infestation of education.
Liberalism is everywhere in our educational system, all levels and deep into the administration arena as well. IIRC, it was Nikita Kruschev who once predicted that communism would conquer America without firing a shot. Well, we outlasted the commies (maybe?) but the globalists were pulling their strings all along.
A second American Revolution? Maybe. But at the rate that propaganda and mental manipulation in current curriculum is producing automotons out of our kids, the only "soldiers" available to fight will be 45+ years old. Wait just a little while longer and the last generation to "believe" will be too old to "execute."
Even now, I'd wager that most say 90% of all Americans would meekly hand over their guns and whine "Please don't hurt me or my family" if a law confiscating all guns were to be passed.
Fortunately, with 100 million gun owners, that would leave about 10 million really hard core folks with itchy trigger fingers. Many of them veterans and many of those combat vets. Yeah, they'd be gobbling geritol in between reloads and gunshots, but they'd be putting effective fire downrange! But would it be enough?
I don't think it's meant to be. I'm not saying we should give up, because the Bible calls on us to resist evil wherever we find it, but there is a greater force at work here and I'm content to trust in HIM.
I live a few blockss from the entrance ramp where this took place. The ramp for the gas station is very narrow. I still cant see how someone can crash into the pump there though unless they had lost control of the car and was going extremely fast on a highway that is rural and quite slow compared to a major highway. They had to be going over 80 on that ramp to lose control in that manner.
I doubt it was terrorism in nature, just an unfortunate accident.

Keyes to be on Fox & Friends--Sunday, 7 a.m. ET
Set your VCRs! Alan Keyes will appear on Fox & Friends, Sunday morning at 7 a.m. Eastern Time. The program, on cable leader Fox News, bills itself as an "offbeat morning show."
If you move, then don't tell Velveeta, she will simply go and dig up something to make you go HuMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Why don't you look up something useful, like the difference in density between natural and weaponized anthrax.
..excerpt..
"My blood flowed on the pavement. The head had separated from the body as though it had been chopped off by a sharp sword. I was sorry to see my body lying on the macadam only to be run over by some truck or lorry. I tried to order my hands to lift the corpse but soon realized that they were no longer subject to my command. The veins and arteries were gushing a jet fountain, spurts of blood spreading out, perhaps aspiring toward the final form of (a) red pool."
So begins Mohammed Barrada's intentionally disturbing tale, "The Story of the Severed Head." Before its adventures are over, Barrada's severed head will take flight and deliver a politically subversive message to an astonished populace: You may take solace in fantasies, the head tells its listeners, but those fantasies are the source of your oppression. Eventually, the head will be captured and finally judged by a ghost. First published in 1979, this short, surrealistic work by the distinguished Moroccan author and teacher has lately taken on an unexpected and unhappy contemporary resonance.
Of course, the most obvious source of the story's renewed timeliness is the severed head itself. Originally a device intended by Barrada to evoke antique horrors for his modern Arab readers, it may now evoke instead the disgust of daily reality. Beheadings or threats of beheadings are in the news almost every day, thanks to murderers who are acting in the name of Islamist political fantasies. Headless bodies are found floating in the Tigris River, and bodiless heads are discovered in Saudi refrigerators. Videotaped beheadings may be watched at any time on the internet, their appalling images overwhelming Barrada's or anyone else's attempts to capture their savagery in words. Barrada's quarter-century-old political horror story is now our daily reality.
Yet Barrada's bizarre tale is not timely merely because of the rise of beheadings as a tactic of terror and revulsion. Rather, this literary severed head lies at an intersection of terrible cultural and political forces in the Arab world, forces that not only shape the story's message of personal and political fantasy, but that may also underlie the story's own origins.
Arab literary fantasy is a remarkable phenomenon. Despite the flights of grand imagination for which the Arab folktale and epic are justly famous, fantasy remained rare in modern Arabic prose literature until quite late. While such important authors as Yusuf Idris and Naguib Mahfouz did make use of fantastic elements in their writing, especially in their short works, the great majority of Arab novelists remained faithful to the established tradition of social realism.
In the late 1960s, however, this situation changed dramatically: An explosion of Arab prose tales employing the fantastic, the surreal and the marvelous became apparent.
