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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
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.

POST NO. 36:

"Saddam Vows in Letter to Sacrifice Himself"
By JAMAL HALABY, Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "AMMAN, Jordan - Facing trial soon on charges he massacred fellow Muslims, Saddam Hussein purportedly vowed in a letter published Sunday to sacrifice himself for the cause of Palestine and Iraq, and he urged Arabs to follow his path.

The letter, published in two Jordanian newspapers, allegedly was delivered through the International Committee of the Red Cross to an old friend now living in Jordan. Those who made the letter public said the man refused to be identified. It was believed to have been the first letter since Saddam was captured in December 2003 that he sent to someone other than a family member.

"My soul and my existence is to be sacrificed for our precious Palestine and our beloved, patient and suffering Iraq," the letter said.

Tayseer Homsi, Secretary General of the Jordanian Arab Baath Socialist Party, said the missive was delivered through the ICRC to an "independent Jordanian political figure who wished to remain anonymous."

The ICRC said it was checking the authenticity of the letter, according to Iraq delegation spokeswoman Rana Sidani, who is based in Amman. Saddam and other such political detainees to whom the ICRC has access are only allowed to write letters to family members."

"Iraq: Jordan Letting Saddam Kin Aid Terror"
By SAMEER N. YACOUB, Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BAGHDAD, Iraq - The Iraqi government accused Jordan on Sunday of allowing members of Saddam Hussein's family living there to fund a network seeking to destabilize Iraq.

Government spokesman Laith Kubba said the former Iraqi dictator's relatives in Jordan have "huge amounts of money" to support efforts to revive his Baath Party organizations. Kubba did not specify the family members, but Saddam's two oldest daughters live in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

"It is regrettable to say that there still are large numbers of elements, not only former regime elements, but supervisors of some terrorist groups, who are in Jordan," Kubba told reporters.

Relations between Jordan and Iraq have been strained since the collapse of Saddam's regime in 2003 over various issues. However, it appeared Kubba's statements were aimed in part at deflecting criticism from Jordan about the possible involvement of Iraqis in subversive operations in Jordan.

Jordanian police have detained an undetermined number of Iraqis as well as other foreign Arab suspects in the Friday rocket attack that barely missed a U.S. warship in Aqaba.

"We don't want Jordan to harm a quarter of a million Iraqis (living in Jordan) because of one Iraqi" involved in the Friday attack, Kubba said.

There was no immediate comment from the Jordanian government, which has been seeking to improve relations with its eastern neighbor — once its closest trading partner and only supplier of oil."

'Today Gaza - tomorrow East Jerusalem'


"The resistance exists because of the occupation," he said, "and the occupation still exists - in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, so the resistance will continue until we kick out Israel from all our land."



Looks like the Sharon pullout plan will bring peace to the Middle East. </sarcasm>

The Russian leader said many Iraqis view the foreign troops as "occupiers" and suggested the withdrawal will encourage insurgents to abandon violence in favor of contributing to the creation of the state.


I can't believe Pooty said this. Pooty sit down and shut up you are embarrassing yourself.

C I Host CEO Warns Terrorists Can Conceal Messages in Online Media - JPG/GIF Images, MP3s, Videos and Other Digital Information Formats


***MEDIA ALERT - INTERNET SECURITY EXPERT AVAILABLE***
Who: Christopher Faulkner is CEO and founder of C I Host, the
largest privately held Web hosting firm, serving 220,000
clients in 192 countries.
What: British, United States authorities, businesses and citizens
should be aware that terrorists are suspected of communicating
in hidden "steganography." Faulkner explains the technology
and the potential threats.
Topics: Sports chat, entertainment sites, eBay sites could be used.
The U.S. suspected Osama bin Laden used the technique in 2001.
British authorities are stepping up detection of hidden
messages. Using steganography, terrorist groups can use a
"container message" such as an online photograph. By altering
the R/G/B color palette of the image, the groups can insert
tiny bits of a hidden message into each pixel. Then, using a
decoder key sent to each terrorist organization member, they
can decide the pixels to reveal the message. The images can be
uploaded to any web site and are undetectable to the human eye.
Show topics include:
- Terrorists Hide Secrets in eBay Photos
- Hiding Terrorist Organization Blueprints in MP3 Music Files
- Your Photo Might Contact Hidden Terrorists Conversations
- Osama Bin Laden Communicates Through *YOUR* Family Photos
Where: C I Host is centrally located and accessible to both coasts via
the DFW Airport, just a few miles away. Faulkner is available
for in-studio interviews, given advance notice. Faulkner can
also demonstrate steganography LIVE showing hidden messages
within images or audio.

Steven Emerson Cites FBI: Will it Take Another Attack to Really Take the Threat Seriously?
http://counterterror.typepad.com/

(snip)
But I most worry about Americans going soft - about our taking the lack of attacks here for granted, and forgetting that al Qaeda took 7 years between attacks on the WTC. Today's Orlando Sentinel has a review of the National Geographic Channel's "Inside 9/11," which airs tonight and tomorrow night at 9 pm ET. The Sentinel cites and quotes Steven Emerson's segment in the special on his conversations with FBI agents. "They understood that it would take more blood in order to get the government to react," Emerson says. "And now I'm hearing other FBI and other officials say to me, 'Steve, we're going to need another 9-11.'" That's not a rosy scenario. You can see part of Steve's interview in the special here. We will have much more to say about the issue as we approach the anniversary.

I consider Putin to be the evil one, he is no longer even putting on a nice guy front.

He tells us what to do, he is giving a rough time to Christians, he is getting ready to attack Chechyna again.

This man has worked to stir up every communist nation against us, even to Mexico.

Glad you enjoyed Dr. Bill, there is no way to even guess what his subject will be, it changes by the minute.

The important thing with him, is that he knows his subject, or will ask for a caller who does to call the show.

Vel it could very well tie in with the hotel.

Did you manage to see any of the photos? I could not.

The homesite would not come up for me at all, and yet there are all those webpages from the site.

If you click the links that are blind, you get a different
page, a different message, but with the meta tags the same, almost, the link will be in the meta tags.

There was one of them that had a seperate line for:
Babtist Church, and one of the meta words was '38 caliber'.

Still Proud 2 be free, found and published the Sten words last year. The news have been talking about OBL hiding message all along.

Why not? We trained them in our Colleges, how to be the best.

Confession: I don't even know what a meta-tag is???<<<

You know my knowledge is minor, but meta-tags are lists of words that will cause google and other search engines to bring traffic to the site.

A few months ago, I googled a Freeper's name, looking for a
quick link to a thread I knew they had posted, but not the
name of.

On the first page, there was the name, on a porn site link.

Yep, I was shocked, as I tend to forget about the use of meta words.

I went back and to the porn site, it had a list of names and
words all in a paragraph, Freeper names, World Net Daily,
comic book characters and childrens words, God, even Santa Claus.

That is one of the reasons the blockers on computers do not
work to keep the children off porn sites.

The hotel link, came from a star search.

Everyone needs to Google their own name, do it granny style,
so that you get all there is to see and find out if you are
a star on a porn site.

I am no longer good at the on and on searches of blind links, after 30 minutes to an hour, my sight is blurred and for the rest of the day, it is so difficult to see the page,
that I miss a lot and don't understand half of what I read.

Time to hand over to the 'young ones'......LOL

Palestine and Iran will attack Israel and we will be busy defending our selves with Russia and China


They may have no need to attack Israel, they are going to give it away.

I still can't get over the earthquake that Russia thinks we are going to have in the next four months.

Thinking along my tin foil paranoia, what if 'they' blew up ****just for example***** the Missi. River


Note~~~~~~~~~THE NEW MADRID FAULT SYSTEM EXTENDS 120 MILES SOUTHWARD from the area of Charleston, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, through New Madrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate 55 to Blytheville and on down to Marked Tree, Arkansas. It crosses five state lines and cuts across the Mississippi River in three places and the Ohio River in two places.


and a few old (old is a key word) buildings like Sears Tower, White House(wipe out our history) oil refinery's (how many do we have in the US real deal refinery's are they close to the Missi. River?)

This would create civil war here, 'They' would tell us it is an earthquake and China would have to step in to stop the civil war. They are the only ones with the manpower.

I trust Russia more than I trust China and I don't trust Russia AT ALL.

China wants to be the world power, we should just tell them ok your IT.

China could be the rising of the old Roman Empire very easy. I am going to lay off the Russian Mafia and see what I find about China.

This is enough for now JR is going to move us to chat for insanity. LOL
