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!

Connect these dots, now

"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

The doctrine of the "hidden Imam" is also known as the "occultation".
The "grazing effect" will be seen in Texas - - outside San Antonio and just south of Houston.
The opposite of an occultation (a concealment) is an apocalypse (a revelation).

German police raid 30 sites linked to jihadist group


From the BBC, with thanks to Susan:

German police have raided more than 30 sites believed to be connected to a banned Islamic organisation, al-Aqsa. The raids happened a day after the country's top administrative court upheld a 2002 ban on the group.

The German government alleges that the charity raises funds for the Palestinian militant movement, Hamas.


Al-Aqsa, which says it raises funds to alleviate poverty, had won permission to continue fundraising on a temporary basis last year.


The raids were conducted on 34 sites in Berlin, Bremen, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.


The Interior Ministry says the police seized "extensive" materials.


The German Interior Minister, Otto Schily, said the raids had targeted sites connected with two groups suspected of taking over from al-Aqsa in 2002.


He said if the suspicions were confirmed, he would ban the new groups as well.

"German police foil 'terrorist' plot to kill Iraqi leader"

3 December 2004


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BERLIN - An apparent bid by extremists to assassinate Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi on Friday was foiled after police arrested three suspected Iraqi terrorists, German Federal Prosecutor Kay Nehm said Friday.

"We saw a considerable threat to Allawi," said Nehm at a news conference in Karlsruhe, adding: "There were increasing indications an attack was being planned."

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder met Allawi in Berlin amid tight security after police earlier on Friday stormed nine apartments and business in Berlin, Stuttgart and Augsburg, arresting three members of the banned terrorist group Ansar al-Islam.

Nehm declined to say if those arrested had planned a bomb attack but he said telephone taps had alerted authorities and that parts of Allawi's two-day visit had been cancelled."

Russia welcomes foreign bids for assets of embattled Yukos oil giant
12-04-2004, 16h37

Raveendran - (AFP/File)
NEW DELHI (AFP) - Russia said it would welcome Indian and other companies bidding for the assets of Russian oil giant Yukos, the country's biggest oil exporter, due to be sold off later this month.

To me it appears that Putin is slowly taking over any of the competition.

This with Yukos is said now to be taxes, but was rather personal in the beginning.

Maybe, get all the competition out of the country.

Russia ready to strick terrorist bases

MOSCOW: Russia said on Friday that it was prepared to launch cruise missile attacks against suspected terrorist bases outside its borders, with a top general warning that Moscow would use everything at its disposal for the attack.

“We will use long-range precision cruise missiles and bombs if we get such an order,” Russia’s air force chief Vladimir Mikhailov was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies. “We will use everything that is at our disposal.” Mikhailov did not specify which nations he had in mind or what sparked his warning.

Good story here about Los Alamos

SNIP: Two Missouri professors seeking ways to track civilian automobiles for General Motors have discovered a way to detect and conceivably even detonate so-called Improvised Explosive Devices," Soldiers for the Truth says. It sounds a lot like what the Army already has, in its Warlock series of radio frequency jammers.

Simply stated, the scientists have figured out a way to eavesdrop on the ether to detect ambient electronic noise floating around when the mad bombers set up their devices in preparation of setting off an ambush. Both the transmitter the insurgents need to send out a radio signal ordering the detonator to explode and the detonator itself, emit these radio signals.

“We will use long-range precision cruise missiles and bombs if we get
such an order,” Russia’s air force chief Vladimir Mikhailov was quoted
as saying by Russian news agencies. “We will use everything that is at
our disposal.” Mikhailov did not specify which nations he had in mind
or what sparked his warning.

Putin wants a man from Chechnya that we allowed to stay in the United States.

To me it appears that we are in the next one alone, if Putin arms our friends and enemies, then they won't be standing in line to cover our backs.

If you dig deep enough, you will find early ties to the terrorists in Russia, to the Russian government.

No, I am not smart enough to fill in all the blank spots, but all one needs to do is read todays news and ask why they are arming those who are against us.
