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 - Daily Terrorism Threat
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.

Granny, from the article:

Republicans Require Health Insurance for Immigrants Only

This month, Congress will consider an immigration reform bill introduced by Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ). A component of the bill would require employers to provide health insurance to all workers who are registered immigrants. To be sure, immigrants who lawfully enter the country to work, and who pay taxes, should have access to health insurance. But this bill is poorly reasoned and has the potential to create tremendous problems.

Although the bill will mandate that employers provide health insurance coverage to immigrants, this is a luxury that no American enjoys. Employers are not required to provide health insurance to citizens.
--
The immigration reform bill, by mandating that employers provide health insurance to their immigrant workers, would have a disastrous effect on American workers.

Some employers, perhaps even many, would simply discontinue providing health insurance benefits to its workers who are citizens.

This would be the easiest way for employers to offset health care costs.

Have also heard theories that the TPTB explosive was just a trigger for the ammonium nitrate he was trying to buy; however, the ammonium nitrate must be soaked in diesel fuel to make it go BOOM.

I heard it was TATP, or are they variants of the same thing? You make me wonder if he wasn't carrying the TATP to some location where it was going to be used as the trigger. Anyone there look for caches of ANFO, or at least the components? Maybe that's what was destroyed later that night.

It's not over.

It's TATP. I couldn't remember the letters and fuged it hoping folks would know what I was talking about. I tried to find it in previous posts without much luck.

Thanks for the correction.

Where's Indie? After reading this, maybe I should leave TM, my blood pressure seems to be elevated again. Granny, this is from your link and clearly states the intentions of our elected officials .

Rightwing Senator Seeks Wealth Transfer from U.S. to Mexico

A right-wing Republican wants to implement a Marxist-style plan to transfer wealth from American taxpayers, sending it south of the border "to reduce the wealth gap" between the U.S. and Mexico.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-TX, has introduced legislation to make grants of U.S. tax dollars for roads, telecommunications facilities, and education programs in Mexico. The bill, S. 2941, parallels plans developed by the influential Council on Foreign Relations to integrate the populations and economies of the two countries with Canada in a "North American Community."

The CFR plan, reported last month..."

--

Cornyn, who was attorney general of Texas when George W. Bush was governor, is a close political associate of the president. He is a long-time Republican and boasts formidable conservative credentials,..."

--

The stated purpose of Cornyn's wealth-transfer legislation is to "promote economic and infrastructure integration" with Mexico and Canada, "promote education and economic development in Mexico," and "to reduce the wealth gap between Mexico and Canada, and between Mexico and the United States."

--

Besides integrating the economy of Mexico with the U.S.,

the CFR's plan also calls for eliminating border controls between Mexico and the U.S., and merging the two countries with Canada into what it calls a "security perimeter"

within which populations of the three countries could move about freely without border scrutiny.

The purpose is to create a "seamless North American market" for transnational corporations, guaranteeing what the CFR calls "the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico."

I think Arizona needs a new slate of elected crooks.

The efforts to ruin America continue to happen.

The illegal problems becomes a larger problem, every day.

It is the enemy within that allows the illegal to have benefits that we citizens do not.

I don't have any answers on this, the open border is a danger to all of us, disease, terrorists, gangs and crooks,
are reasons enough to close it.

"....the story I read yesterday labled them as "farm workers". The enemy within.

They'll be incarcerated IF convicted, and if they get bail they'll bail straight back to their countries of origin via open borders and come back when they feel the heat is off of them. Those hiring these "workers" seem to take no blame for the havoc they wreak. In the meantime, 14 more "workers" have probably already replaced the rapists at their jobs, keeping that employer productive and profitable.

While it is unlikely that either Clintons would ever be punished for their crimes

That line alone should be enough to keep people from thinking seriously about a Hillary presidency. It's akin to electing Kofi Annan's wife. Scandalous leaders cannot and are not taken seriously by the world at general. While both Clintons are "celebrities" and Hillary a "NY" politician, those factors alone do not make her a respected candidate, capable of world leadership in one of the most dangerous times of human civilization IMHO. Off soapbox.

Witness the New World Order has made it's presence known. That's what CFR does. They have quietly and consistently manipulated this government from 1929 until the present to create a one world government. They are beyond party politics. They are beyond liberal or conservative. They are beyond considering themselves citizens of this country. They are the power brokers. Even communism is subservient to them. They manipulate the curriculums of the educational system to further their ultra long range goals. They think in terms similar to AQ, in that they are patient and persistent. They ask no quarter and give none. 99% of the public is oblivious to the threat because the schools and universities have done their jobs well. They have diligently followed the proscribed agenda.

If you'll see my "about page" you'll see a list of books. Those that are not novels, usually deal with this subject. One of the best is a book by G. Edward Griffin titled The Creature From Jekyll Island. Another is Global Tyranny: Step by Step by William F. Jasper.

This joining of the 3 countries has always been the communist plan.

As I understand it, we Americans have too much, freedom, money, property and all things that are good, therefore we must give it to others.

Call it CFR, one world order or plain communism, it is what has happened to us.

Bush has allowed us to be taken over.

The deeper you dig into the CAFTA pact, the sicker you will become, we will have to support the other countries and not only support them, but we are to live as they do.

There are also other south american countries that are to be a part of the pact.

It is not only muslim terrorists that has taken over, the communists are winning daily, all you need to do is read the communist manifesto 1963, it is all in there.

It is the reason that Carter gave away the Panama Canal and Clinton gave the navy bases to China, or he attempted to do so and they wound up by leasing them from California.

It is the reason that gas is going up in price, how often do you hear our cheap priced gas compared to other countries that pay $5.00 and more per gallon.

I have heard it said that the many companies that once existed in America, were bought out and combined, until their is only one or two of each type, is part of the plan for the "state" to take them over.

Look at New Orleans and the storm, that is a sample of what happens to an area once it goes into state control and becomes a welfare area.

I don't see the future as too bright.

I do not understand why President Bush has not closed the border, unless he is part of the one world order and wants all the illegals to come into America.

It makes no difference how much money we send to Mexico, it will not help the poor working people, it will only go to the elites of Mexico.

My opinion on this gloomy day.

Wasn't it Bush Senior who coined the phrase "New World Order"? Hmmm

This is utterly outrageous. Millions of Americans (many work at jobs that provide no health insurance) who would love these legislators to require their employers to provide health insurance. What about American citizens being FIRST?

If it were required that "immigrants" have health checks after entering our country, it would be futile because they typically "disappear" and communicable diseases are not diagnosed until they are spread wherever the immigrants settle?

This is a border control / immigration issue, not one that should be subsidized by American employers. Will this type of legislation push even more American businesses over the edge and force them to move their operations to Mexico or overseas? My guess is Yes.

This is utterly outrageous. Millions of Americans ... would love these legislators to require their employers to provide health insurance. What about American citizens being FIRST?

I haven't heard about this before, but I suspect part of the motivation behind it is to limit the government's exposure on Medicaid payouts and hospital losses for indigent patients. Citizens already have the right to apply for Medicaid (so they're already covered to some extent, although at a pretty low level). If it's required for employers to supply health insurance for immigrants, this does two things:

1) The cost of hiring immigrants goes up, which may increase the availability of jobs for at least some citizens, and

2) The cost of providing health care for immigrant workers is borne by those workers and/or their employers, so that the tax burden on citizens is limited since the immigrants won't get into the Medicaid system.

Both of these seem to me that they're actually good things ... however I do agree that this shouldn't be confused with a rational border policy ...

Just call the recruiter in Winchester, Spoke with a Sgt. Wolf. At this time, it's still 39. He is aware that Congress is kicking around the idea.

I again gave him my name and information.
