-Full Story-
“There’s a present for you,” a voice on the other end of the phone said that morning, he recalled. It was a common code whenever his friends and colleagues wanted to share a new broadcast or communiqué from Al Qaeda over the Internet, he said.

Threat Matrix : Code of Conduct
Please pay close attention:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES

***Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints***

There will be NO bashing any mods, it will be taken private or there will be NO MORE Threat Matrix !!! That comes from the top!

Please everyone here review the following rules, they are not posted just for fun, they must be adhered to!

Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.

Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.

Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.

Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.

Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.

Do stay on topic - FR has varied topics for whatever you need to say

Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.

Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.

Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it

We cannot stress the following enough:
{{{Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic or Threat Matrix not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.}}}

To add...

Surprise Surprise, It's Another Al Qaeda Blockbuster Release Media reports on Atta/Bin Laden video fail to Mention the Fact that Atta was under CIA surveillance at the time, was allowed into the U.S. and was then monitored by military intelligence
Steve Watson / Infowars | October 2 2006

Karl Rove's promised October surprise has arrived nice and early. Five weeks before the midterm election, a "previously undiscovered" video emerges that reminds the uninformed world that Al Qaeda carried out the 9/11 attacks and in order to combat them we must vote for security over liberty.

The video, supposedly obtained by The Times of London through 'a tested channel', shows Osama Bin Laden addressing followers at Kandahar In 2000. It also features "9/11 mastermind" Ramzi Binalshibh and Lead hijacker Mohammed Atta reading his will, along with Ziad Jarrah, the alleged pilot of flight 93.

Watch the video: Osama Bin Laden's HQ

Al-Zarqawi tape was admittedly a Pentagon produced psy-op.

German press reports on CIA surveillance of the "Hamburg Cell" and Mossad observation of Atta in Florida Oct. 5, 2002

Once Atta was inside the US he was discovered and monitored by the DIA op 'Able Danger'. The op was part of an experimental program to collect intelligence on terrorist networks. The Army intelligence unit, located near the Pentagon, then alerted the FBI and the CIA to Atta, who of course already knew about him.

Atta was wired $100, 0000 days before 9/11 by the head of Pakistani Intelligence who happened to be having breakfast on 9/11 with Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss, the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence committees.

Atta's Father Still Insists His Son is Alive Associated Press | September 11 2004

FBI Denies Mix-Up Of 9/11 Terrorists -Posted June 11, 2003-It has previously been reported that up to nine of the nineteen alleged hijackers are still alive. Yet the FBI still maintains it has the correct mugshots of the right men.

Some Light Shed On Saudi Suspects Many Raised in Area of Religious Dissent-By Caryle Murphy and David B. Ottaway-Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, September 25, 2001; Page A12 -Furthermore, the other alleged hijacker in the previous tape, Hamza Alghamdi's original mug shot as it appeared on the splash of 19 hijackers bore, "no resemblance" to the real Hamza Alghamdi - according to his own father after being informed of his son's involvement in the attack. The Hamza Alghamdi in the new video does appear to be the same individual in the FBI's mug shot parade. As with at least seven of the hijackers, it seems that there are two of each one, and the ones that appear in the tapes are patsies or dupes.

Alleged Hijackers May Have Trained at U.S. Bases - The Pentagon has turned over military records on five men to the FBI This is by no means a stretch when we recall that many of the hijackers were trained at secure U.S. government air bases

Exclusive: The Informant Who Lived With the Hijackers -NEWSWEEK has learned that one of the bureau’s informants had a close relationship with two of the hijackers

The State Dept. Was Right (To deny Tariq Ramadan a visa)
Weekly Standard ^ | 10/08/2006 | Olivier Guitta

Posted on 10/08/2006 1:44:30 PM PDT by Republicain

ON SEPTEMBER 20, the State Department denied a visa to Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan on the grounds that he had contributed around 600 euros to a French charity classified as a terrorist organization since 2003 because of its relationship with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. This latest exclusion follows on the revocation of Ramadan's visa to live and work in the United States while teaching at Notre Dame in 2004, a step taken at the express request of the Department of Homeland Security. While the American Civil Liberties Union and the leftist literary group PEN, among others, present Ramadan as a moderate and accuse U.S. authorities of intolerance, the background and views of Tariq Ramadan suggest the government's move was entirely justified.

For starters, Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the highly influential Islamist organization born in Egypt in 1928. It was the Brotherhood that invented the now-familiar Islamist modus operandi of covert organization, assassination, and extremist theology. Its goal was to overthrow the Egyptian regime, install a fundamentalist Muslim government, and impose sharia (Islamic law) as the new constitution. Tariq's father, Said Ramadan, was a major figure in this organization, expelled from Egypt by Gamal Abdul Nasser for Islamist activity.

"Highway watch
Truckers keep their ears
and eyes wide open
for Homeland Security
Program takes advantage of familiarity,
widespread patriotism to spot threats"

By ZAK MAZUR - GM Today Staff

October 4, 2006


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The more people on guard against suspicious activity in this era of mass casualty terrorism, the better. That’s the rationale behind the Highway Watch program, first initiated in 1999 and boosted nationally after Sept. 11, 2001.

"We have well over 100 companies involved in Highway Watch in the state," said Susan Webb, Highway Watch state coordinator with the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association. "There are 15,000 (drivers involved with Highway Watch in Wisconsin) and 400,000 in the whole country."

Highway Watch trains transportation workers how to identify suspicious activity on the nation’s massive system of roads and highways. The program is administered by the American Trucking Association and WMCA under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, but is mostly administered at the state level.

"Training can be done by classroom or by video," said Webb. "It takes about an hour."

Because transportation workers often drive on the same routes, they are familiar with potential terrorist targets, such as nuclear power plants, chemical facilities and transportation infrastructure.

"Often they go to the same places and so they’ll recognize if somebody is taking pictures of a bridge, that type of thing," said Webb. "It trains the drivers in what to look for as far as potential terrorist or criminal activity."

Highway Watch trainees are each given an identification number and a special phone number to call to report suspicious activity.

"They are told how to make a report, as far as what type of information is important," said Webb. "Truck drivers know where they are, they know right where they are all the time."

Webb said truck drivers make good Highway Watch volunteers for another reason, too.

"Most truck drivers are patriotic and they want to help keep our country safe," she said. "Some don’t know about the program, but once they find out they want to be part of it.""
