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.


"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

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.

"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers."
-- Jewish proverb

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the
enemy who wishes to do us harm.

One of the links says:

Do JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS [not spelled that way of course!] Run Hollywood? And then there are a few pics of celebs like Deniro, Gere, etc.

In fact, I first saw the celeb pics when quickly scanning and I assumed they were assassination tagets. But then I saw the header/title.

But what "I" am fed up with is they keep insulting our collective intelligence ......The Government Thinks We're Stupid Speak!

If we're getting tough on illegals, then we should do it with conviction and not apology. Seems like we want to "be nice" to incoming foreigners (legal or illegal) when we need to be assertive, proactive about potential terrorists, and professional in our immigration and deportation proceedings.

How many ME types have we read about on these threads who have been reported or caught photographing, asking questions about and in close proximity to nuclear, chemical, and other locations that pose question of their motives? If the report is investigated at all, the usual result is a warning and they are let go. Warm and fuzzy feelings disappear quickly when I read of these incidents.
