Terror in Europe
Last week Frontline televised a special on the various terror attacks in Europe. Obviously we are all concerned that such attacks can happen, anywhere. We have had our share as well. It doesn't hurt to examine the circumstances under which they have occurred. As free societies we have unique problems in dealing with such things, because we hope to maintain open, all inclusive forms of governments, and lifestyles. We shouldn't lose who we are in our search for solutions. If you haven't seen the special it is worth watching.

We have a new theory on the dark matter/dark energy situation. The reason physicists haven't been able to find them? The bastards hide. No shit; boiled down, that's the gist of this explanatory theory.
Are ya'll also banned from healingiraq.blogspot.com or is it just me? Or is Zeyad on a total lockdown? I just can't see why he wouldd single ME out for a ban.
"Are ya'll also banned from healingiraq.blogspot.com…
I have no idea.
Maybe this'll help Marcus get his head around the problem at the FBI:
"The typical Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent is white,
male, and middle-aged, often with a military background — in short,
drawn from the segment of the U.S. population most likely to support
GOP nominee Donald Trump.
***
"According to numbers from August, 67 percent of FBI agents are
white men. Fewer than 20 percent are women. The number of African-
American agents hovers around 4.5%, with Asian Americans about the
same and Latinos at about 6.5%.
"If Trump were running in an electorate that looked like that, he’d win in
a landslide."
Politico.com
And, the ‘old white guys’ percentage has been growing over the years. Per Comey himself:
"‘We have a crisis in the FBI and it is this: slowly but steadily over the
last decade or more, the percentage of special agents in the FBI who
are white has been growing….We are now 83 percent white in our
special agent cadre,’ the FBI director said in a July speech at
historically black Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach. ‘I’ve
got nothing against white people—especially tall, awkward, male white
people—but that is a crisis for reasons that you get and that I’ve
worked very hard to make sure the entire FBI understands. That is a
path to fall down a flight of stairs.’"
ibid
I would suggest that the FBI has, in fact, fallen down that flight of stairs.
Rudy Guiliani was out in public earlier today (on MSNBC's morning news show with Joe Scarborough--himself an ex-Republican Congressman) and Guiliani mentioned that he'd been getting info from FBI agents about their attempts to instigate new investigations of Hillary Clinton. This afternoon it was pointedly pointed out to Mr. Guiliani that it was highly improper for FBI agents to be leaking such information to Mr. Guiliani, who is, after all, a spokesman for the Trump campaign. (Talk of a Congressional investigation even.)
It now appears that Mr. Guiliani denies having talked to the FBI agents after all, and the information he was passing on to the public actually descended upon him out of heaven instead. It seems that Mr. Guiliani's God, along with Vladimir Putin, wants The Donald to win on Tuesday. Deus ex news-flash
Are ya'll also banned from healingiraq.blogspot.com or is it just me?
No, Marcus, it is not just you. Zeyad closed the blog to the public. I have no idea why, he just said it was personal. He did not invite me to have access either.
"He did not invite me to have access either."
Ya reckon perhaps I should ask for access?
I'm gonna take that as a response in the negative.
There is some indication that the ‘Catholic vote’, if we may call it that, is late-breaking for Trump. I'm not sure what sin Hillary is supposed to have committed that would explain this. More likely they've been uncomfortable with her for a long time now, and FBI Directory Comey's recent shot into the Clinton campaign is giving them license to switch over to somebody with whom the conservative Catholic may have more in common.
Drat it! My internet connection went out last night as I was composing my post, and what do I see when I check out CNN, but an article pertaining to the same thing. *sigh* Oh well, I'll still put it up. I'll just say it a little differently.
