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: U.S. Terrorism
Home grown Islamists may hit US: FBI chief
Full Story

WASHINGTON -- The United States could be attacked by "home grown" Islamist terror groups, the FBI's chief has warned.

FBI Director Robert Mueller told the London Financial Times newspaper in an interview published Thursday that the United States could face attacks from "home-grown terrorism" very similar to the July 7 bombings in London that killed 52 people and wounded another 700, Mueller said.

When asked if the United States could face such attacks from "home-grown groups", Mueller answered emphatically: "Absolutely, it could," the Financial Times said.

In the end, the speech fell short, IMO.
Not enough, Mr. President.
Talk is cheap.

3. Geology. A portion of stratified rock separated from a main formation by erosion.

LOL Being a geologist I rely upon vocabulary I'm used to however, the intent was definition #2. Perhaps a Freudian strike/slip (more geohumor).

2 women plead innocent in fatal hit-and-run

Innocent pleas were entered Wednesday during the arraignments of two young women facing charges in a fatal hit-and-run accident in Mesa.

Muneerah Ali Al-Tarrah, 22, and Reem Ahmad Bisharra, 19, are charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident. They also face misdemeanor charges

The accident occurred in the early morning of Sept. 14. The women were driving separate vehicles and police allege both struck the victim, who was riding a motorized skateboard. (snip)

The poll numbers are down on the war. I agree that we cannot get out of there now. BUT.....

I really would like to know more about what is going on in this country including why the border has to be protected by ordinary citizens.

Ok the Tularemia was kicked up out of the soil 'this time'. What about
all the prior marches and protests etc. that happen every other week?<<<<<<<

The Bio powder had not been sprinkled for the other protests.

The earlier protests were virgin protests, just for practice, the last one was 'seeded', makes it more exciting.

40,000 hispanic muslims, that is thanks to the open border, if you listen to some of the early protest tapes of the mayor of Los Angeles and his group, you will be sure that you are listening to a group of palestinians out dancing in the street to celebrate an enemies death.

More fires in California today.

I saw a quick blurb about power outages in Montana and Wyoming this morning.

Cable news lately just sucks. Only see this stuff scrolling down at the bottom. They grab onto one story and gnaw on it for days like a dog on a bone.

We thought that particular sketch was either a bridge or nuke plant. I believe there was another that referenced a stadium. Thanks for digging that up.

Bombs, bombs and more bombs.

I remember when car radios were the hot item, only people with real money had one.....

Today, every car needs to be equipped with a bomb, it is the "in thing".....

Who was the victim?

There must be more to this story. Are they just doing their small part in the war against America?

I thought that I heard of a fire in Calif. that had burned 2,000 acres and 100 homes were in danger.

Had bad radio reception last night, so nothing was clear on it.

Denver has had early snow, it may be a storm in Wyo. and Montana that took out the electric...

Why, it could have been icicles, or frozen tree branches on the electric line. I am being a wee bit sarcastic here.

Since this list is from the Clinton era, many of the above have left the Congress through voluntary retirement or being voted out. But their influence and their CFR membership continues. People who strive to move the CFR agenda forward are traitors to the US Constitution. Note the ones still in Congress. They are the TRUE threat to this nation.

BUSH: 10 AL-QAIDA ATTACKS STOPPED

3 Foiled Attacks Aimed At Targets Inside U.S.

Updated: 11:01 am EDT October 6, 2005

WHITE HOUSE -- President George W. Bush says the United States and its partners have disrupted at least 10 al-Qaida plots since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, including three planned for inside the U.S.

Bush delivered what the White House called a "major" speech on the war on terror and how Iraq fits into the struggle.

Bush compared the war on terrorism to the struggle against communism. He also said there can be no negotiating with terrorists.

"No act of ours invited the rage of the killers and no concession or appeasement will change or limit their plans for murder," Bush said.

The president vowed the terrorists would eventually be defeated.

"We will never back down, never give in and never accept anything less than complete victory," he said.

The speech to the National Endowment for Democracy was originally planned for the Sept. 11, 2001, anniversary observances, but was postponed because of Hurricane Katrina.

It comes against a background of slumping poll support for the Iraq conflict, despite continued backing for battling terror networks.

President Bush just stated that 3 al Qaida plots to take place inside the United States were thwarted since 9/11.

Vel - do you think the report about OBL surfacing after the next attack in the US had anything to do with W's speech this morning? Maybe a major attack was thwarted recently (OU perhaps?)

And I've expressed my opinion before that what they may actually bring about if they're successful would have a closer parallel in Christian eschatology to the reign of the Beast than to that of Christ ...

RAPTURE READY?
