The Threat Matrix

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!

Interesting post BC, thanks. I'm trying to decifer some of it and getting nowhere fast :-)

Here are some things that still don't really pull anything together.

Septar necturly passed she lips on a lawn of golden jewels;Tip of the EarthX passes And She bled'

On googling "septar"; there is a U.S. Navy boat:

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:qIsVy-WMFbAJ:www.navy.mil/homepages/vc6/qst35.html+Septar&hl=en

In addition there were quite a few astrology pages that came up. Some pages use the word "septar" to mean "solar" as in "Sun".

EarthX: There is a Connecticut company that sells drilling rigs, probe tools, drilling equipment, and supplies names EarthX.

There is also a very commonly used photo of earth, taken from the Galileo orbiter, named EarthX
http://www.etsimo.uniovi.es/solar/cap/earth/earthx.htm

There is also a lot of comic book websites with earthx. Have no idea about all that. Haven't read comic books in a long time.

I don't think any of the above links mean anything in relation to the info in your post so I'm still scratching my head over what the islamowacko are taking about. Hmmmmm.

[Cindy]

Thank you DC.
The SITE Institute is a good site.

[Cindy]

People talking regarding all subjects, like FR in that one respect.
Warning: Disturbing language by some posters.

[knak]

Agreed. Thought this new tape thing is bugging me. It sounds to much like EOM or Daleel. And where are these secret boards no one has found that are mentioning this new tape? With all the jihadi boards and jihadi board "hunters" it seems as if someone would have atleast found a hint about them other than just one person. Don't you think? I don't know. Just a feeling.

[MamaDearest]

I don't think she will be our next President.

Absent the Kennedy family, the Clintoons represent Democratic hierarchy (pathetic isn't it?)

"Al Qaeda suspect refuses to testify"

Plan B is okay with me - the sooner the better!

[MamaDearest]

...dragon blew fire,shakes the sand,nigh knew she cried and brother laughed.

My interpretation:

dragon blew fire (they are on drugs)

shakes the sand (they were out of toilet paper)

nigh knew she cried (they miss their sheep)

and brother laughed (he can see they are idiots without brains of their own)

Terror Groups Download From State Website    
Source: Klastv.com | 8:44:22 PM EST


(Nov. 4) -- Why would a website operated by the State of Nevada be of great interest to some of the worlds most notorious terrorist organizations? Critics think it's because the website is a great source of information for anyone who might want to explode a dirty bomb in our state, one that could spread radioactivity over a large area.

Why would our state make such information available to terrorists? The state's original motives were noble enough. In an effort to stop the Yucca Mountain project, Nevada's Nuclear Projects Agency commissioned a study about how terrorists might attack shipments of nuclear waste and turn those shipments into dirty bombs that could kill thousands. The problem is, the report is viewed by many as a how-to manual for terrorists. And, as the I-Team has learned, the terrorists are paying attention.

Robert Harter says, "We think al Qaeda as living in caves in Afghanistan." Not all terrorists are cave-bound vagabonds on the run. Many of the largest organizations have their own websites, used to communicate with each other and to spread propaganda and inflame the Muslim world.

Las Vegan Robert Harter, not his real name, is part of an international coalition of web-savvy volunteers who hunt down and disable terrorist websites. About 18 months ago, during one of these online search and destroy missions against a website for the infamous Hamas organization, Harter and his associates noticed something curious -- a link to the State of Nevada's official website.

Robert Harter said, "You see the State of Nevada website is sandwiched between details on Israeli armaments, a Japanese site about Claymore land mines, hand grenades, rifles and links to other jihads."

A website, with its heroic portraits of Osama bin Laden; also has a link to the Nevada report. Another site that calls for jihad against the U.S. and Israel has the same link. Why do Islamic terrorists care about Nevada? It's because of this report, paid for by the State of Nevada in 1997 and available online.

The report analyzes the risks of terrorist attacks on shipments of nuclear waste bound for Yucca Mountain. It describes what routes the waste shipments would take, the casks that would be used, how thick they are, and what weapons could be used to turn the casks into dirty bombs with more radioactivity than a military nuke. The report even spells out where and when terrorists could strike to cause the greatest number of deaths and gives hints on where to obtain shoulder-fired missiles and anti-tank weapons.

To critics, the report is a how-to manual for the bad guys. And they have proof that terrorists did, in fact, visit the state site, perhaps hundreds of times. Harter says, "If you see the Hamas website with a link to the Nevada website how to make a dirty bomb out of nuke waste, we could see conclusively the directory in which these documents resided were the most accessed directories for months running. So clearly the information was being consumed somewhere as far back as March of 2003."

Harter and others complained about the Nevada website. They sent emails to Nevada officials and contacted the Department of Homeland Security in Washington. The I-Team has learned that federal homeland security officials asked Nevada to take down the report last year.

The Las Vegas FBI expressed the same opinion to Jerry Bussell, who was then Nevada's Homeland Security chief. Reached by phone, Bussell declined comment, but law enforcement sources say Bussell lobbied his bosses to get the report off the Internet. Reportedly, the state thought the opposition to Yucca Mountain was more important and left it up.

Bob Loux heads Nevada's Nuclear Projects Agency. He says he remembers hearing some chatter about the website, but that no one asked that the report be removed. "No one asked us to take it down and no one provided rationale for it."

Loux says Jerry Bussell might have mentioned the issue to him but that Bussell told him that homeland security in Washington had no problems with it. Has Loux changed his mind now that the report is on the al Qaeda website?

Obviously the world has changed since the attacks of 9-11, and governments like our state have to struggle with balancing security needs with the public's right to know. No one intended this information to fall into the hands of terrorists, but now that it's out there, what is the state doing about it?

You're right, setting up a morgue is not good, unless it is for the enemy bodies (in which case it is very good). PC behavior be damned. Better them than us.

[MamaDearest]

I loved the message from the guy whose tagline was "have you captured, turned in or killed a terrorist today?" If everyone was on that wavelength, we'd have the sleeper cells in prisons instead of who knows where.

"The Full Version of Osama bin Laden's Speech"

ARTICLE SNIPPET #1: "The following is the full version of Osama bin Laden's speech released on October 29, 2004, as broadcast by Al-Sahab Institute for Media Production, which is known to produce Al-Qa'ida's video messages. A link to the video was posted on the Islamist Al-Islah message forum, frequented by Al-Qa'ida supporters. [1]"

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2:

"[1] For the video, see: http://www2.vh-p.net/su/img/257.zip.

For the message containing this link, see: http://www.islahi.net/vboard/showthread.php?t=116671.

[2] The reference is apparently to the article "The Most Wanted Man in the World", to which the reporter Scott MacLeod contributed.

[3] This parable was put into verse by the famous 9th-century Arab writer Jahiz."

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I don't know what to think at this point. Tigger claimed the other day that the new ubl vid was already on the Castle forum, but others have been there and claim it is not there. They say the video from last Friday is there though -- the full video.

Tigger has been asked to make a distinction between the 2 tapes -- one a week old and the other brand new -- and he has not answered. We do not know whether he is confusing the 2 tapes or not. But again, others say there is no brand new ubl tape at Castles.

It is intriguing to say the least.

[Cindy]

Yep.
Hopefully plan B has already taken place.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Amen to that.

[The_Reader_David]

Think nothing of the jihadis addressing Bush personally. Back before he went missing, bin Laden, whom the lunatics now consider the Caliph, issued some sort of missive about at world being divided into the Camp of Islam and the Camp of the Cross led by Bush.

It seems they're mentally stuck in their beloved middle ages, and can only think of Bush as an updated version of the Christian Roman Emperor (meaning the real Roman Emperor whose seat was at Constantinople, and whose empire provided a bulwark against their expansion into Europe until the Fourth Crusade weakened it beyond recovery, not the 'Holy Roman Emperor'.)

Evidently bin Laden thinks Washington, DC, not Moscow is the Third Rome.

I'll have to second that translation...after I stop laughing.

[Oorang]

Well your interpretation makes more sense than mine MamaD.

[The_Reader_David]

Did the jihadis post this in English or Arabic? Either way, it looks like a bad translation from Arabic, so looking up specific words may not help much. I suspect the original text better translates as

Septar sweetly passed her lips over a lawn of golden jewels; tip of the ??? passes and she bled.

You might see whether its a passage from a previously existing Arabic poem. If so, the context may give the intended meaning.

[Oorang]

English or Arabic?

I'm not sure as it was from a post by British Chick from the TT site. I agree that is does look like a poor translation.

Good idea on the Arabic poetry. I'll see what I can find. Thanks.
