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.

Was Bomber's "New York" Shirt A Message?
Full Story

It's hardly a unique fashion statement for a mass transit rider: a Yankees-style cap, and a "New York" sweat shirt.

But the New York Police Department is teaming with British authorities to determine whether those items were worn by suspects in the London terror cases to send a "purposeful message" to the city, according to an NYPD officials.

David Cohen, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence, raised the concern earlier this week at a security briefing for business leaders at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

Hey, AD! I always enjoy a discussion that involves you. I think that the temples are very important to orthodox Jews, and their restoration is part of jewish prophesy so it's not surprising that they would be gathering material for such a restoration. I was quite surprised when this article came out recently that indicated that some folks over there were so convinced that the opportunity for restoration was imminent enough to create actual construction plans! I can't remember my end times eschatology well enough to know just exactly where in the Heavenly timeline the restoration of the Temple comes, but it wouldn't surprise me if it fell neatly around the appearance of the AntiChrist.

[appalachian_dweller]

Thanks for the kind words Ex.

From what I've read about the Tribulation, it will be split in two. The first 3 1/2 year period will be full of peace and tranquility. The AntiChrist will have all the answers and will solve all the problems through the installation of the one world government. I believe that is will during this time the Mark of the Beast will be implemented. I would also expect the Temple to be rebuilt during this same time frame.

The second 3 1/2 year period of the Tribulation will be NASTY. The AntiChrist will be killed by a head wound but will be resurrected in a mocking imitation of Jesus. Christians will be rounded up, killed and tortured.

Somewhere in there are 2 Prophets will will be killed by the AntiChrist but will also rise again. They be taken up into Heaven in front of hundreds of witnesses.

Russia says opposes use of force against Iran
Reuters ^ | Aug 17, 2005

Posted on 08/17/2005 6:42:52 AM PDT by Tailgunner Joe

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia warned on Wednesday against using
force to stop Iran's nuclear programme, saying any such action would
have grave and unpredictable consequences.

"We favour further dialogue and consider the use of force in Iran
counter-productive and dangerous, something which can have grave
and hardly predictable consequences," said a statement posted on the
ministry's Web site www.mid.ru.

The West fears Iran's nuclear programme, which the oil-rich state
insists is aimed only at the peaceful generation of nuclear power,
conceals ambitions to develop atomic weapons.

Iran angered the European Union and the United States by resuming
work at a uranium conversion plant earlier this month, rejecting EU
incentives offered in return for giving up its nuclear programme.

Earlier this month U.S. President George W. Bush said military force
remained a last resort to press Tehran to abandon its nuclear
ambitions.

"We consider that problems concerning Iran's nuclear activities should
be solved through political and diplomatic means, on the basis of
international law and Tehran's close cooperation with International
Atomic Energy Agency," the Russian statement said.

Russia, which has constructed a nuclear power plant for Iran and is
hoping for more such contracts, has criticised Tehran for restarting the
uranium conversion.

Moscow says there is no technical need for Iran to convert its own
uranium since Moscow has agreed to supply all necessary nuclear fuel
for the Bushehr power plant due to go into operation next year.

Thanks for that info Velveeta.
As I'm sure you guys know, I've not been around for a bit now. I thought I would have more access to the internet by now, but I do not at this time. I really miss keeping up with what's going on and am going nuts being so out of touch!
But things here in the real world have kept me busy and Ill be offline for a while more now.

BTW anyone know where tb2k is today? Tried to touch base there but I get no page found.

Russia: Most Muslim Clergy Rebuff Call For Jihad Against U.S.
By Charles Carlson

Supreme Mufti Telget Tajetdin, head of the Central Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of
Russia, last week declared a "spiritual" jihad, or holy struggle, against the United States in
retaliation for its war with Iraq. But top Muslim clerics elsewhere in Russia and in Central
Asia condemned Tajetdin's statement, and the Russian Prosecutor-General's Office has
threatened to disband the mufti's office.

Prague, 10 April 2003 (RFE/RL) -- Speaking on 3 April in the Russian city of Ufa,
Supreme Mufti Tajetdin was shown on television throughout the central Volga region
brandishing a sword as he told sympathizers that his administration intended to set up a fund
and solicit donations in order to buy weapons for a struggle against the United States: "For
two weeks now, the anti-Christ of the world has been waging a war [against Iraq]."

But Tajetdin's statements backfired badly, incurring harsh criticism from other Russian and
Central Asian Muslim leaders and even from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On the same day as the mufti's comments, Putin told journalists that he would "do
everything" he could in order to prevent Russia from being drawn into the Iraq crisis.

Putin said it is Moscow's duty to continue cooperation with the U.S. in order to prevent the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and continue the international struggle against
terrorism.

Russian Justice Ministry official Sergei Nikulin said Tajetdin has the right to express his
moral support for Iraq, but that any attempts to buy weapons and send them to Iraq would
be illegal.

The Russian Prosecutor-General's Office threatened to disband Tajetdin's Ufa-based
Muslim administration for inciting religious hatred.

Other Muslim officials in Russia were similarly quick to condemn Tajetdin, among them his
rival Ravil Gainutdin, who is head of the Council of Muftis of Russia. Both men aspire to
the unofficial title of uncontested leader of Russia's Muslim population. Relations between
them have been strained for several years.

In a statement published in "Nezavisimaya gazeta" on 7 April, Gainutdin's Council of Muftis
expresses "deep regret that among Russian Muslims there are those who want not peace in
Iraq, but World War III." Gainutdin said his organization will not support any form of
hostilities.

The chairman of the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims of Bashkortostan, Mufti
Nurmukhamat Nigmatullin, said that "the announcement of mufti Tadzhuddin in no way
reflects the position of all Russian Muslims."

The head of the Spiritual Directorate of Muslims in Asian Regions of Russia, Mufti
Nafigulla Ashirov, said that "no Muslims are taking Tajetdin's statement seriously."

In Central Asia, too, prominent Muslim clerics condemned Tajetdin's call for a holy war
against the United States.

Amonullo Negmatzoda, chairman of Tajikistan's Council of Ulemas and spiritual leader of
Tajik Muslims, told ITAR-TASS that a jihad against the United States is not the way to
solve the problem of Iraq.

Negmatzoda reportedly added that a jihad has almost never brought positive results but
only "increases bloodshed and causes unnecessary suffering for ordinary people." He said
that Muslims should pray instead for a swift end to the war in Iraq and a political resolution
to the conflict.

In Uzbekistan, Muslim Spiritual Administration head Abdurashidkori Bakhromov
condemned Tajetdin's call for a jihad as "irresponsible" and said it was likely to aggravate
an already unstable situation. In an interview published on 5 April in the official
Russian-language newspaper "Pravda vostoka," he said such calls fuel the flames of war
and generate enmity toward Muslims living in different countries.

Bakhromov advised Muslims in Uzbekistan to "be careful" and to ignore such appeals. "The
head of Russia's Muslims Tajetdin has expressed a completely wrong thought -- a thought
that would be beneficial for people with bad intentions," he said.

Kyrgyz Mufti Muratali Juman-uulu was more conciliatory in his reaction: "I cannot say 'right'
or 'wrong' about [Tajetdin's appeal]. My opinion on the Kyrgyz state and Kyrgyz Muslims
is that nobody from the our muftiyat [Spiritual Board of Kyrgyz Muslims], [ordinary]
Muslims, imams nor mosque staff has any idea about a jihad against America in
connection with the Iraqi war. This is the first thing. Secondly, we are against this ongoing
war [in Iraq]."

The only Russian Muslim leader who has expressed support for Tajetdin's initiative was
Sverdlovsk Mufti Sibagatulla Hadji, who said that Islam allows the declaration of a holy
struggle in certain extreme cases. Sibagatulla Hadji said Tajetdin had in mind not military
activity against the United States but spiritual opposition. He did not explain why, if that is
the case, Tajetdin had called for donations to buy weapons.

It is not clear why the Russian authorities reacted so harshly to Tajetdin's call for a holy
struggle while ignoring the decision one week earlier by Muslim clergy in Daghestan to
declare a jihad against the United States.

Paul Goble is an expert on nationalities in Russia. He suggested that Russian officials are
trying to sow dissent among the three main Muslim bodies in Russia. "The Russian
government has a long tradition of playing one Muslim group against another, and it seems
to me that this differential approach is designed to make sure that no Muslim group can
claim preeminence and appear to speak on behalf of all Muslims in the Russian Federation.
Were such a group to emerge, it would constitute a major challenge to central Russian
control, and that is not something President Putin is prepared to countenance," Goble said.

http://www.eagleforum.org/column/2005/july05/05-07-13.html

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has just let the cat out of the bag about what's really behind our trade agreements and security partnerships with the other North American countries. A 59-page CFR document spells out a five-year plan for the "establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community" with a common "outer security perimeter."

"Community" means integrating the United States with the corruption, socialism, poverty and population of Mexico and Canada. "Common perimeter" means wide-open U.S. borders between the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

"Community" is sometimes called "space" but the CFR goal is clear: "a common economic space ... for all people in the region, a space in which trade, capital, and people flow freely." The CFR's "integrated" strategy calls for "a more open border for the movement of goods and people."

The CFR document lays "the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America." The "common security perimeter" will require us to "harmonize visa and asylum regulations" with Mexico and Canada, "harmonize entry screening," and "fully share data about the exit and entry of foreign nationals."

This CFR document, called "Building a North American Community ," asserts that George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin "committed their governments" to this goal when they met at Bush's ranch and at Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The three adopted the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" and assigned "working groups" to fill in the details.

It was at this same meeting, grandly called the North American summit, that President Bush pinned the epithet "vigilantes" on the volunteers guarding our border in Arizona.

A follow-up meeting was held in Ottawa on June 27, where the U.S. representative, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, told a news conference that "we want to facilitate the flow of traffic across our borders." The White House issued a statement that the Ottawa report "represents an important first step in achieving the goals of the Security and Prosperity Partnership."

The CFR document calls for creating a "North American preference" so that employers can recruit low-paid workers from anywhere in North America. No longer will illegal aliens have to be smuggled across the border; employers can openly recruit foreigners willing to work for a fraction of U.S. wages.

Just to make sure that bringing cheap labor from Mexico is an essential part of the plan, the CFR document calls for "a seamless North American market" and for "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."

The document's frequent references to "security" are just a cover for the real objectives. The document's "security cooperation" includes the registration of ballistics and explosives, while Canada specifically refused to cooperate with our Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

To no one's surprise, the CFR plan calls for massive U.S. foreign aid to the other countries. The burden on the U.S. taxpayers will include so-called "multilateral development" from the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, "long-term loans in pesos," and a North American Investment Fund to send U.S. private capital to Mexico.

The experience of the European Union and the World Trade Organization makes it clear that a common market requires a court system, so the CFR document calls for "a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution." Get ready for decisions from non-American judges who make up their rules ad hoc and probably hate the United States anyway.

The CFR document calls for allowing Mexican trucks "unlimited access" to the United States, including the hauling of local loads between U.S. cities. The CFR document calls for adopting a "tested once" principle for pharmaceuticals, by which a product tested in Mexico will automatically be considered to have met U.S. standards.

The CFR document demands that we implement "the Social Security Totalization Agreement negotiated between the United States and Mexico." That's code language for putting illegal aliens into the U.S. Social Security system, which is bound to bankrupt the system.

Here's another handout included in the plan. U.S. taxpayers are supposed to create a major fund to finance 60,000 Mexican students to study in U.S. colleges.

To ensure that the U.S. government carries out this plan so that it is "achievable" within five years, the CFR calls for supervision by a North American Advisory Council of "eminent persons from outside government . . . along the lines of the Bilderberg" conferences.

The best known Americans who participated in the CFR Task Force that wrote this document are former Massachusetts Governor William Weld and Bill Clinton's immigration chief Doris Meissner. Another participant, American University Professor Robert Pastor, presented the CFR plan at a friendly hearing of Senator Richard Lugar's Foreign Relations Committee on June 9.

I thought OBL decided against this type of thing as he needed the drug money to keep flowing.

[ironcitymike]

I think the story was that the drug dealers turned him down b/c they wanted the money flow to continue. Maybe he went around them. Or worse, maybe he now has enough money to carry out his plan. Tie that in with the Osama to Iraq rumors, and maybe his final plan is imminent, he no longer needs the money and he's going to Iraq to die a martyr. I think I just got carried away. Heroin and cocaine are dangerous, after all and terrorism probably has nothing to do with it.

Could it be that OBL thinks that what he has planned is big enough to kill the drug market anyway?

Maybe he was counting on the media keeping this quiet, as they do most of the terrorist info.
