Threat Matrix: 2010

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
Al Qaeda’s Yemen Connection, America and the Global Islamic Jihad

December 30, 2009 — The attempt to destroy Northwest Airlines flight 253 en route from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day underscores the growing ambition of al Qaeda's Yemen franchise, which has grown from a largely Yemeni agenda to become a player in the global Islamic jihad in the last year. Since merging with the al Qaeda franchise in Saudi Arabia last January and renaming itself Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), it has stepped up operations in Yemen itself, struck into Saudi Arabia, and now operates on the global stage. The weak Yemeni government of President Ali Abdallah Salih, which has never fully controlled the country and now faces a host of growing problems, will need significant American support to defeat AQAP.

Al Qaeda has long been active in Yemen, the original homeland of Osama bin Laden's family, and one of its first major terror attacks was conducted in Aden in 2000, when an al Qaeda cell nearly sank the USS Cole. A year ago, the al Qaeda franchises in Saudi Arabia and Yemen merged after the Saudi branch had been effectively repressed by the Saudi authorities under the leadership of Deputy Interior Minister Prince Muhammad bin Nayif. The new AQAP showed its claws last August, when it almost assassinated the prince with a suicide bomber who had passed through at least two airports on the way to his attempt on Nayif.

(snip)

The attack on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight also shows that al Qaeda remains obsessed with striking the American airline industry, a target it has gone after repeatedly since 1999. If AQAP has now been told by the al Qaeda core leadership to take on the job, we can probably assume that other al Qaeda franchises in North Africa, Iraq, Southeast Asia and elsewhere have also been pressed to attack.

Gary is the hellhole just south of downtown Chicago, bet HBO has friends there

I've driven through Gary several times years ago and the air stunk back then. Can only imagine how bad it must be now. Pretty much the entire state of Ohio was listed. Obviously they missed Hamtramck, MI and Flint....must be biased against Ohio?

I was ordered to Flint in the dead middle of winter and my feet froze to the street. A policeman literally had to lift me up onto the curb because I could not move my own feet.
Needless to say, my first stop after that was a store that sold double insulated boots....and I thought Buffalo was bad.

Yes I agree with you...it’s really just started in respect to being visible now...there are enough of them now to play havoc and cause disruption, just as they’ve planned.

We at Threat Matrix have amazing resources and gathering new ones on a constant. I wish more would come here but then Piper, Mama etc. wouldn’t have a second away from the threads!

Well that’s news to me! Bi uh? Oh well...He’s proven to be and do what I would have figured he wouldn’t dare..so I no longer am surprized to learn more about him...the disturbing part is BO does so much now in the open and without apology or shame...

I think I’m a bit discouraged today...the battles are so many and getting more and more intense I think. There is such a sense among people I speak with of not knowing what to do even though they see this Islamic threat growing. They sense our Gov. is not concerned and in fact helping the esculation...and oddly they don’t know even close to what we do here on FR but they are certainly afraid.

You are not alone. I said the same thing earlier this afternoon. The stress is starting to get to me, but can’t let the guard down even for an instant. It just keeps coming.

I heard a portion of Hucks meeting with Michelle today...only a bit cause I truly can’t listen to the woman for long...but she mentioned she tries to make her home “News Free” and she herself only looks breifly at headlines...not into it”

I don’t care for her or the things she speaks about...I usually give Presidents wives alot of space but this one is just as dictorial as her husband!

It does just keep coming and I do think it will come faster as the weeks move along....we’re flooded with information so I am overlooking some of the easier going info. But if you get stressed you have to back away for a few hours or a day and get grounded....otherwise this stuff will burn you out!

All of the recent world events that seem unreal or at least hard to believe are occurring because the tide in America is turning aginst Obama and he knows it.

What today’s American Thinker author states is “right on the money”. African American preacher, Rev. James David Manning, Ph.D., is ALSO saying the same thing as is in this article.

“What Does ‘Racial Socialism’ Sound Like to You?”
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/what_does_racial_socialism_sou.html

James David manning, Ph.D.
The Manning Report Mon-Fri 12-3

Author: The Oblation Hour

Still, the REAL problem is even larger than mere racial socialism. There is a theory that is building steam of very recently which is as follows: for power and domination purposes, many of the world’s Black men are in league with radical Muslim extremists to bring down white society, most specifically white males.

Before you dismiss this as a racial rant please read the rest of my comment.

Much of what follows revolves around the fact that Malcom X took the manifesto of the Black Panther Party (that became the Black Liberation Army) and the plight of the repressed African American male in need of vast reparations abroad. Malcolm X accomplished this by completing THREE extensive (multiple months long) tours of the more powerful African nations during which he met with the nations’ PRESIDENTS and other power elites.

Malcom X met with Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta on a trip he took to AFRICA in 1964 on which he visited Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. These three AFRICAN countries happen to be nations in which the AFRICAN OBAMA/ODINGA Luo tribe has its greatest representation

Malcom X’s visit to Kenya in 1964 occurred when Obama’s Uncle (on his mother’s side) Jaramogi Ajuma Oginga Odinga was Vice President of Kenya (1964-1966) and Obama’s father Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was a top economist for Kenya’s Finance Ministry (1965-1966).

The President of Kenya at the time was Jomo Kenyatta who today is attributed with running the most corrupt administration in Kenyan history. Kenyatta and Odinga took orders from and their administration was directly financed by the Soviet Communist government. Odinga and Obama Sr. were Cummunist Kenyan government officials when Malcolm X shared his message wth the leaders of Africa.

The story is better fleshed out in the posting cited below:

“Obama, the Black Panther Party (BPP), Black Liberation Army (BLA), Weather Underground (WU), global Muslim Brotherhood (MB) network, Al Qaeda, and Kenyan and American Politics are All Interconnected”

Detail on Malcolm X’s Travels to Africa:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X#Early_years

Malcolm X visited Africa on three separate occasions, once in 1959 and twice in 1964. During his visits, he met officials, gave interviews to newspapers, and spoke on television and radio in Egypt, Ethiopia, Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea, Sudan, Senegal, Liberia, Algeria, and Morocco. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria invited Malcolm X to serve in their governments.

In 1959, Malcolm X traveled to Egypt (then known as the United Arab Republic), Sudan, Nigeria, and Ghana to arrange a tour for Elijah Muhammad.The first of the two trips Malcolm X made to Africa in 1964 lasted from April 13 until May 21, before and after his Hajj. On May 8, following his speech at the University of Ibadan, Malcolm X was made an honorary member of the Nigerian Muslim Students’ Association. During this reception the students bestowed upon him the name “Omowale”, which means “the son who has come home” in the Yoruba language.Malcolm X wrote in his autobiography that he “had never received a more treasured honor.”

On July 9, 1964, Malcolm X returned to Africa. On July 17, he was welcomed to the second meeting of the Organization of African Unity in Cairo, Egypt (OAU Summit 17–21 July 1964) as a representative of the Organization of Afro-American Unity. By the time he returned to the United States on November 24, 1964, Malcolm had met with every prominent African leader and established an international connection between Africans on the continent and those in the diaspora.

In the 45 years that have passed since Malcom X’s assasination (Feb. 21, 1965), the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army, the nation of Islam, and the Black Muslim Brotherhood have continued to spread Malcolm X’s message abroad.

....”In Britain, Labour politicians have finally confessed that they has deliberately imported hundreds of thousands of Pakistani Muslims to serve as cheap wedge-voters against British whites, while constantly accusing normal, decent people of racism. Throughout Western societies, the Left has conducted a mean and cynical assault on the mainstream of society, constantly undermining normal people while laying claim to a higher morality”.....

Oh isn’t this the truth! and the race card is pulled on a constant today...which in doing so keeps the focus on race...the smae thing with Political Correction. Both flame and keep the issues on the front burners.

“Did you see the video I posted tonight?!”

No. I will view it immediately and get back to you ASAP.

What I know now about Manning is he appears to have put himself in danger to confirm to the American public at large something that may be common knowledge in the Blac community. That is that the struggle we’re in presently in this country is NOT without a central racial basis.

I am going now to view the video you mentioned.

IAEA Report Prompts U.S. Warning to Iran

Five NATO States Want U.S. Nukes Out of Europe, Report Says

SAY what?!
Pueblo Chemical Depot in Colorado and at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky

The U.S. National Nuclear Security Agency might significantly shrink the size of the secured area used for handling weapon-grade uranium within the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported Wednesday (see GSN, Feb. 17).
The "Protected Area" now takes up 150 acres of the complex's total 810 acreage. While the matter remains under consideration, the NNSA proposal would cut its size to 70 acres, according to agency spokesman Steven Wyatt.
A smaller security zone would make cleanup initiatives at Y-12 more both manageable and less expensive, as workers would not need special clearance for the projects.
The plant's current Protected Area is the largest of any U.S. nuclear weapons site

My take on the Manning video (the first video you posted) is that it is VERY real.

I think this because of Rev. Manning’s demeanor, the fact that in this most recent video he is using a detailed prepared script and likely a teleprompter, but I primarily believe him because the details he gave about Obama’s life, whereabouts, capabilities, past functions, associations, political and religious motivations and time of initial recruitment were absolutely “right” on the mark from my own research.
