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.

FDA approves dirty bomb antidotes

8/11/2004, 1:38 p.m. ET
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration approved two new products Wednesday designed to help deal with the consequences of terrorists using dirty bombs.

Acting FDA Commissioner Lester M. Crawford told The Associated Press that the products, to be available by prescription only, are designed to speed up elimination of radiation from the body.

Dirty bombs have become an increasing concern. Unlike warheads designed to kill and destroy through a huge nuclear blast and heat, so-called dirty bombs are radiation weapons. They would rely on conventional explosives to blow radioactive material far and wide. A successful bomb could make a section of a city uninhabitable for years.

Approved were:

•Penetate calcium trisodium injection, Ca-DTPA.

•Zinc trisodium injection, Zn-DTPA.

A lot of anthrax hoaxes lately. I doubt AQ would warn of exposure.

Not a good sign - IMO

[Grammy]

I also heard from someone "in the know" last weekend. He confirmed what you said about Israel.... said they will probably take out the Iranian nukes soon.... in the 30-60 day range.

He also reported about a woman who moved from Egypt to Canada. When she was leaving the local muslims visited her and instructed her to make notes about all the Christians and Jews that she came in contact with. She would be called on for those notes at some point.

Are you all picking anything up about this yet?

NEW YORK -- A New York City Parks Department truck triggered some kind of radiation detector while in Brooklyn Wednesday, NewsChannel 4 has learned.

The truck eventually was stopped at 50th Street and 1st Avenue in Brooklyn. The area was cordoned off and hazmat units were investigating the source of the low level radiation, police said.

FEDS INVESTIGATING CONN. NUCLEAR ENGINEER IN TERROR CASE

POSTED: 1:13 pm EDT August 11, 2004
UPDATED: 1:17 pm EDT August 11, 2004

CROMWELL, Conn. -- A Connecticut nuclear engineer is under investigation in a federal terrorism probe, but denies allegations he offered support to a militant Islamic Web site and said he's being targeted because he is Muslim.

Syed R. Maswood, 41, confirmed that he is the unnamed Connecticut resident mentioned last week in a federal affidavit charging a British national with supporting terrorism.

Federal agents raided Maswood's home March 17, seizing computer equipment and financial records, he said. Investigators discovered his e-mail address among files used to maintain a Web site that funneled money and equipment to terrorists, according to the affidavit, which was unsealed Friday in New Haven as part of an international terrorism probe.

From his home, Maswood runs North American Technical Services, which exports nuclear detection instruments, water treatment devices and environmental equipment to Middle East and Asian governments.

Maswood has not been charged in the case but said he has been detained and searched three times while traveling on business recently and said officials have told him he's on a U.S. no-fly list.

Maswood once strongly supported President Bush and still keeps in his living room a photgraph of the president. He also has a photo of his preteen daughter meeting Vice President Dick Cheney and has donated to several Republican campaigns.

"I believe in this country," said Maswood, a Bangladesh immigrant who became an American citizen in 1997. "I believe in the system. I believe in the fairness of the law. I want to know, what did I do wrong?"

U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor would not confirm that Maswood is the Connecticut resident mentioned in the affidavit.

"We go out of our way in any case not to identify anybody until they've been charged," O'Connor said. "Unfortunately, there's only one way to search a house and that's in public."

Federal agents last week charged British computer specialist Babar Ahmad with running a fund-raising site for Islamic militants. While dissecting Ahmad's computer files, investigators say they discovered an e-mail seeking help getting money to Islamic rebels in Chechnya.

They traced that e-mail to Maswood.

The married father of three said he never offered to aid Chechen rebel leaders but said he may have asked how he could help the humanitarian effort in the area.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents also discovered that Maswood donated more than $10,000 to the Benevolence International Foundation, an Illinois-based charity accused of supporting terrorism.

But Maswood said the charity is one of many he has supported for humanitarian purposes, including Christian relief efforts. He said investigators seized evidence of those donations during the raid.

Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Benevolence International had been given IRS tax-exempt status.

"If you're claiming that BIF was a terrorist organization, why did the IRS issue them a tax ID number and allow them to solicit donations from all over the country?" Maswood said.

A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said last week that investigators are poring over the e-mail addresses uncovered in the Ahmad case, trying to determine who wanted to provide humanitarian aid and who wanted to support terrorism.

Maswood said the investigation has made him seem guilty to many in the small Hartford suburb. Neighbors gawked as agents searched his home, he said. He can imagine what's going through their minds.

"I come from a very oppressive country," said Maswood's wife, Awatef, who was born in Tunisia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. "I used to come back to the U.S. and feel relief. I'm home. This is a free country. What kind of America is this?"

While federal investigators did not name Maswood in the affidavit, they confirmed that a search warrant was executed in Cromwell. In a town of 13,000 people, Maswood said, that effectively identified him.

Maswood, who says he's had difficulties doing business through the government since Sept. 11, 2001, has sent O'Connor several letters asserting his innocence and characterizing the probe as a witch hunt.

"It's character assassination," he said. "You label them, you destroy their reputation, then later on you may or may not find something."

Thanks for the ping, I've been working on this darn trailer/moving stuff. :-(

I'm switching to LA news, nothing yet. Home today so will monitor news.

Seems as though it's Kobe, Peterson etc still.

[swarthyguy]

YOu should start posting that as it's own thread too.

It's immensely factual and deserves wider exposure.

[Askel5]

Could this more properly be called the Paranoia Matrix? =)

Just marking for now after a quick scan. a closer review later.

Fantastic summary Godzilla...better than trying to catch-up on the 2,000+ posts that I have missed!

The pace of everything does seem to be picking-up. My personal feeling is that Italy and the deadline of the 15th and also the upcoming Olympics.

[ExSoldier]

You can't be serious, he looks nutz!

JP, I couldn't be more serious. I didn't think he either looked or sounded "nutz." He cited much credible source info and it dovetails with what I have found bouncing around my contacts.

The real confirmations should come when you look at Schumer or Daschle. They're not "playing politics" with the most recent terror alerts. In fact, whenever I've seen them, they look white faced and shaky. That tells me that whatever they're being briefed on, is not making it to the ears of the public so as not to cause a panic.

Less than three weeks after a trash bin laden with military ordnance exploded

LOL

a trash bin....laden with military ordnance...just a coincidental grouping of words...or is it? ;)

[Myrddin]

"I used to come back to the U.S. and feel relief. I'm home. This is a free country. What kind of America is this?"

America is a country under active attack by radical, militant Islamic terrorists. When a Muslim participates in financial assistance to a terrorist organization, it is hard evidence of offering aid and comfort to the enemy in time of war. Expect to be scrutinized.

[all4one]

Stay safe....your input here will be missed!

three weeks after a trash bin laden with military ordnance

Funny, but those two words jumped out at me from your post......

[Mrs. Xtrmst]

all of the windows are completely covered from the outside. Even the ones on the second floor

Is it occupied? Is it a recent change? You know there was that Nicole Kidman movie...The Others I think...where her kids were allergic to light.

Maybe your neighbors are Morlocks?

[null and void]

Ummmm. Yeah! ya THINK!?!!?

[LikeLight]

Could this more properly be called the Paranoia Matrix? =)

It could be, but the funny thing is that virtually everything we've talked about, other than some goofy stuff we've actively debunked ourselves, has later turned out to be the reality . . .

Examples include discussion of the locations being threatened, the ongoing recon by ME's, the suspicious activity on airliners, the possible trigger events for attacks, etc. It all seems to come home to roost eventually.
