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.

Thanks for the ping. I’ve been following this story. It’s such a shame that the majority of people on that plane did absolutely nothing. At the very least, I would have stood up and blocked the aisle...or done something to let them know I would not be intimidated. Bless the two men that did something!

Massive TSA Security Breach As Agency Gives Away Its Secrets... http://tinyurl.com/ybj835j

Dick Cheney was on FOX news again yesterday.

It’s now the second time he publically has said the words “aid and comfort to the enemy”, in reference to bringing KSM to trial in NY.

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy, as we all know, is treason. Interestingly, Cheney’s “aid and comfort” comment - warning this administration? - from yesterday is not being reported.

You can see Cheney’s statement here at approx the 4:29 mark:

3 convicted in plot to blow up Trans-Atlantic passenger jets

Snip: The plot was described by John D. Negroponte, the deputy secretary of state at the time, as “on a par, or something similar to 9/11.” Britain’s home secretary at the time, Alan Johnson, said that, if successful, the attacks would have wrought “murder and mayhem on an unimaginable scale.”

There is no peaceful solution to terrorism

Snip: There is and has always been only one solution to terrorism. You kill him There is and has always been only one solution to terrorism. It is the very same thing that is done when a murderer is found to be roaming the streets. You stop the murderer. You do not sit down and negotiate the murderer. You do not discuss his point of view. You do not shake hands with him or hold photo op conferences. You kill him. And if you begin negotiating with murderers in the name of pacifying them, then soon you will have a great many murderers and a great many murders as well. And then there will be peace, the peace of the grave and the peace of the slave.

There is only one moral response to terror, to make no peace with it. To determine that terrorism and its practioners must be destroyed. That they are to be treated as the inhuman monsters that they are. That those who shelter, arm and finance them are to share their fate. That their sympathizers and well wishers, their lawyers and media adorers should be seen no differently than the men and women who unleash rabid dogs in a schoolyard. Only when terrorists are shown no mercy, when they and their works are uprooted and destroyed, and when there is no safe place or shelter for them—will there at last be a peaceful solution to terrorism.

Christian hoteliers cleared in Muslim abuse row

Snip: jamin and Sharon Vogelenzang denied using threatening, abusive or insulting words which were religiously aggravated. District judge Richard Clancy dismissed the case against them. He said that the evidence against the couple was inconsistent.

A bit off topic, but I found it interesting nevertheless (as I thought about oil prices for us not so long ago):

Saudis angry as Pepsi hikes prices by 50 pct

Snips :DUBAI - A 50 percent rise in Pepsi prices in Saudi has angered customers and prompted the kingdom's government to call on more than 30 soft drink companies to hold off on further price hikes, newspapers reported on Thursday.

Pepsi raised the price of a can to 1.50 riyals ($0.40) on Wednesday from 1 riyal, its first price rise in the country in 20 years, Arab News reported.

Pepsi spokesman Abdullah Olayan told the newspaper: "We kept our prices constant, despite the escalating cost of overhead, labour and raw materials. If we had increased our price at the same rate as official inflation in the GCC, our prices would be much higher today."

Coca-Cola has not upped its prices in the kingdom.

Saudi's Consumer Protection Association (CPA) has attacked the sudden “unjustified” increase, the Saudi Gazette reported, adding that official permission should be  granted to soft drink firms before they are allowed to raise prices and even then, price rises should not be more than 10 percent.

*TM Ping**

United Airlines passengers removed from flight at Denver airport (Flight #227)

(snip)

John Sloan of Oxnard, California, was on board the flight on Wednesday.

“I have never seen flight attendants so scared in my life. Everything turned out OK, but it was not a very good feeling. It would have been nice to have been updated though this process,” he told 9NEWS by phone.

Sloan says seven men were escorted off of the plane. Two of them were sitting in coach. The other five were sitting in first-class, he says. All were re-booked onto another flight according to United.

Sloan says the men were attempting to change seats with other passengers. Another passenger, who doesn’t want his name used, says the men were also trying to move luggage while the plane was getting ready to push back.

Passengers tell 9NEWS all of the men looked to be “Middle Eastern,” but United will not confirm the identity of the seven men......

Hmmmmm, second event within a very short period of time. TSA and the airlines need to get their reaction/responses down and these disruptors put in jail rather than shuffled to another flight.

Thanks, Vel. I’ve been on that flight a few times. This does not make me feel warm and fuzzy. It would be interesting to hear what Coach Shanahan had to say about it. He was in First Class, also.

I agree, Godzilla.

If you disrupt a flight, you should go to jail. Period.

These airlines, IMO, are more worried about “flying imam” lawsuits than the security of their passengers.

So far no comment from Coach Shanahan. I certainly hope he does comment. It’s time to expose these situations and nip them in the bud.

Hi Velveeta, thanks for the ping.

Re: Flight #227
This is the second such incident I've heard of lately.

Since I don't believe in coincidence, this to me is a RED FLAG. I don't pretend to know what, but something. Could be a smoke screen or another dry run.

A bit of good news, if you can call it that: some of my friends are starting to take this threat a bit more seriously and are starting to prepare.

Thanks folks for the pings. I get very busy sometimes and don't always have time to respond, but I do read the info you folks bring to my attention. For that, I thank you all!

So it continues, even after all these years. Didn’t Terror in the Skies teach the government anything? I expected a spike in ME’s honoring Obama
