Threat Matrix: 2009

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Watching and waiting here, too. Has anyone heard any ‘chatter’ about this Sunday, the 25th? My rather conspiracy-minded eldest son thinks something is going to happen then. He follows the Steve Qyayle (sp?) and Alex Jones websites, so what can I say? (My other children are sane.....LOL)

On another subject: A friend of mine (a local dentist) lost his eight year old son to the H1N1 virus on Sunday. Little Jack had a developmental disease and had a lot of other health issues. It is so very sad. I went to get my seasonal flu shot today at my family Dr’s office. They had just run out of the vaccine. No problem, I thought. So I went to my pharmacy at Safeway. They are also out of the vaccine. I called around to all the clinics and there is NONE left!.....and no one knows when they will get a new supply. What really ticks me off is that my Dr. advised me to wait until the end of Oct. to get the shot, because they are only good for about three months.....and the seasonal flu usually peaks in January!

No, I haven’t heard anything about the 25th and let’s hope Quayle is wrong.

So sorry to hear about Little Jack. I can’t imagine the heartache.

Were you looking to get the H1N1 flu shot or just the regular flu shot?

Just the regular, seasonal flu shot. I don’t think the final verdict is in yet on the ‘swine flue vaccine’, snd I won’t take it. I spent 10 days in the hospital with viral pneumonia in 1976 (swine flu complication). From what I’ve read, I think I may have some immunity to it.

I’ve decided to not get either flu shot this year. I never knew they put those adjuvants in them and with them being short they will water down the actual vaccine with more preservatives.

My biggest concern is that I have a compromised immune system, (Sarcoidosis) which affects my lungs. I seem to catch everything that goes around. On the upside, every one else got the vaccine, so it should not be ‘going around’. I’ll just keep pumping the vitamin D3 and vitamin C plus zinc. Also my Dr. keeps me supplied with antibiotics, just in case.

The squalene they put in the vaccines worries me.

Boy charged with terrorism

A Norwich Technical High School student who police said threatened to harm others at the school was charged with bomb-making and terrorism today, police said.

The 15-year-old, who wasn't named because of his age, was charged with manufacturing a bomb, act of terrorism, possession of a sawed-off shotgun, threatening and second-degree reckless endangerment at 8:45 a.m. as he was discharged from a medical facility where he had been admitted Oct. 2, police said.

Third man sentenced to 8 years, 4 months in Toledo terrorism case

A third Toledo-area man, Wassim Mazloum, was sentenced to eight years, four months in prison Wednesday night in U.S. District Court for his involvement in a plot to kill U.S. troops overseas.

Mazloum also was ordered deported after serving his prison term.

I-Team: Terror-related arrest began in Las Vegas

The road trip ended up like many in Las Vegas: flashing red and blue lights in the rear-view mirror.

The real end, however, came in a Minnesota Federal Court. Two weeks ago, the FBI arrested Abdow Munye Abdow for two counts of making false statements to a federal official. The FBI believes Abdow lied about his trip to Las Vegas, and a passenger he was with who was on the terrorism watch list.

The Nevada Highway Patrol pulled over Abdow and four other people on October 6, 2009 for speeding. Trooper Alan Davidson, a spokesperson for NHP, said the officer on the scene began asking questions.

CAIR exposed

Snippet:

FP: CAIR is not hiding their displeasure with you. Do you feel physically threatened?

Gaubatz: I did not hide from terrorists in Iraq and there will never be a day I will hide in America from terrorists or their supporters. The day when Americans begin hiding from terrorists is the day we have lost our country and our children's future.

British Politics, American Secrets

Snippet: A key difference now, the judges say, is the light already shone on U.S. intelligence tactics by the Obama Administration. "We cannot accept the contention of the Foreign Secretary that the position of the Obama Administration is the same as that of the Bush Administration," the ruling says, concluding that there will likely be few or no consequences if Britain hands U.S. secrets to the press. The ruling goes on to note the Department of Justice's partial release in April of interrogation memos meant "it is now impossible to contend that details of the interrogation methods are themselves matters of intelligence."

How odd, I too had swine flu in 1976. Got my flu shot about 3 weeks ago, but won’t be getting the h1n1 flu shot. I agree with you that the final verdict in not yet in on this one.

Doc agrees it sure looks like it. And feels like it to me.

Horrific.

Treating it as it is without culture. would take too long.

A little more info on the train derailment just south of the Amtrak main yard in downtown Chicago:

Runaway Freight Train Derails

I heard this as it happened via the scanner, and knew this was a runaway train heading right into the main Amtrak (Union Station) terminal. Think Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor "Silver Streak". They intentionally knocked it off the rails about 1/2 mile from the main yard, but even that attempt was a near miss.

Hardly even mentioned in the TV news reports that an 8 car chain of locomotives was heading towards the Loop right in the middle of the morning.

Terror suspect arrested at O’Hare: police

A man wanted on a Minnesota warrant for alleged terror threats was arrested at O’Hare International Airport on Thursday night, police said.

Ismail Alqawasmi, 36, of Richfield, Minn., remains in Chicago Police custody after being arrested at 8 p.m. at O’Hare, according to police.

Alqawasmi flew into the United States from Amman, Jordan, on Royal Jordanian airlines and a customs official conducting a name check found an active warrant from Wright County in Buffalo, Minn, for “terroristic threats,” according to police.....
