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.

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.

I just found out also Richard "Put the Blame on Mame" Clarke wrote a novel that I'm anxious to read:

The Scorpion's Gate

It's 2010, and the newly established Republic of Islamyah;the former Saudi Arabia;is trying to destabilize Bahrain: the Diplomat Hotel has been bombed, and, as the first chapter of this intense debut thriller closes, the Crowne Plaza is "pancaking." Meanwhile, the deposed House of Saud is holed up in Houston; the Chinese are providing arms and training to Islamyah; the Iranians have the bomb. Secretary of Defense Henry Conrad thinks the time is ripe to invade Islamyah and seize its oil, for which the U.S. is locked in deadly competition with China. Cooler heads in the U.S. (and British) hierarchies are very, very alarmed. Sound familiar? Clarke's Against All Enemies delivered an apostate critique of the Bush administration's counterterrorism efforts, along with a vision of the future very much like today. The writing's nothing special; what is special is Clarke's passionate and deftly detailed version of the present, albeit one told in terms of its consequences. It's a brilliant conceit, and though it's sometimes drowned out by the din of various axes being ground ("It''s 68 degrees [in Washington]on January 28 and the White House still claims that global warming isn't a problem?"), the story is crowded with terrific double crosses, defections and deceptions. They're icing, though: Clarke's dramatic micro explanations of how things "really" work;from a hand who served Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and both Bushes;are the true story. This is the first novel to shift all the way from Clancy's Cold War to the present war on terror.

500,000 in designer perfume stolen

DESIGNER perfume worth thousands of dollars has been stolen during two ram-raid attacks on a Sydney warehouse.

Three men forced a security guard out of his car before using it ram the door of the warehouse at Camellia, in Sydney's west, about 4.30am (AEDT) today.

The balaclava-clad thieves threatened the guard with a steel bar before loading three crates of perfume into a second car, police said.

The raid comes just a day after a truck was driven into the side of the same warehouse, damaging a roller door.

Five crates of perfume, worth an estimated $500,000 were stolen.

They include brands such as Dolce and Gabana, Armani and Paris Hilton's new fragrance.

DEFEATING RADICAL ISLAM
WND's politically incorrect guide to winning 'terror war'

Four years after Islamic terrorists crashed jumbo jets into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon – and amid current fears of a much more horrendous terror attack on the American homeland – November's Whistleblower magazine, titled "DEFEATING RADICAL ISLAM," is an eye-opening, powerful and politically incorrect look at how the West actually can, and must, win the defining war of the 21st century.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look for it.

On another topic, I was just outside raking up pine needles when I saw (and heard) a big flock of Canadian geese flying overhead. After all the Canadian bird flu talk, I nearly dropped my rake, covered my head, and ran screaming into the protection of my home. Laughing now, but I fear I may not be in the not too distant future.

[Rushmore Rocks]

flock = gaggle.............I think.

Regarding the Iranian threats to Israel, do you think it could be Iran's way of 'testing the world political waters'? Trying to see what the world reaction would be?

It seems to me they are trying to start a shooting war. The question is: why?

They should understand that if they launch on Israel we will launch on them. They have some kind of military agreement with Russia, maybe that's giving them the confidence to talk so provocatively.

Thought anyone?

Oh man, you should have included a barf alert with that one. :-)

False bomb alarm on train disrupts Amsterdam traffic

Two men wearing traditional Islamic clothes were arrested on a train bound from Frankfurt to Amsterdam Tuesday after a scare over a suspicious package, police said.

The men were arrested after the train came to an emergency stop near Amsterdam's central station in the late afternoon, but the package was harmless, Amsterdam police spokesman Gerard Vrooland said.

Passengers had alerted police after seeing the two-Dutch speaking men pacing the car and visiting the bathroom together.

"They were acting strangely, and they made people nervous by the way they behaved, coming and going to the bathroom together and carrying a large backpack," Vrooland said.

Television images showed the young men being escorted from the train with their faces obscured by masks placed by police to protect their identity. They were released after interrogation, Vrooland said.

Eastbound train traffic from Amsterdam was halted most of Tuesday afternoon while bomb squads investigated the backpack. Passengers were evacuated from the train.

The incident came on the eve of first anniversary of the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh by an Islamic radical, which a court ruled was an act of terrorism.

Hi BB. Good to see you around.

It's always been close. This is just one we've heard about. If it weren't for TM, we wouldn't know either.

Stay safe out there man!
