Forum now open. There's still a lot of stuff to be shifted about, so again, bear with us.
Tangaroa42 said:Re the so called War on Terror, is this a deliberate misnomer and are we in reality in the early stages of World War 3 where East versus West with religions being used as the tools of the "munitions" factories in the West and Near and Middle East which will eventually lead to the forecast Armageddon?
Perhaps she's one of those 'baby-boomers' we've all been hearing about.18-month-old baby yanked from airplane for being on no-fly list

The 18-month old daughter of two New Jersey-born Americans of Middle Eastern descent was reportedly the reason for sending Transportation Security Administration agents onto an about-to-depart plane in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida this week. The parents of the girl, who wish to remain anonymous, say the entire incident is absurd.
Riyanna’s mother tells Fort Lauderdale’s WPBF 25 News that she was approached by an airline employee late Tuesday while onboard a JetBlue plane readying for departure. According to her, she was informed that TSA agents were waiting to speak with the family back inside the terminal.
"And I said, 'For what?'" Riyanna's mother tells the network. "And he said, 'Well, it's not you or your husband. Your daughter was flagged as no fly.’”
“I said, 'Excuse me?'" the mother recalls.

I think you may be right.The war on terror? It's not supposed to end.

I think you may be right.
If it ended, the arms manufacturers and their shareholders would be terribly displeased...no more champers and caviar.
I do believe that, because that is exactly what goes on.When people say this, in a semi-rhetorical manner, I do wish that they literally believed that this unholy state of affairs does exist....the selling arms to opposition goverments, training those opposition armies....and then fighting/beating what were former customers. And charge them for the rebuild.
Leaving a note about the old guy’s scooter, really get a life. I have half a notion to recommend trashing the bugger for bothering the elderly war hero. Anyone who’s liberated those prison camps has witnessed the worse form of terrorism that ever existed.A DISABLED war veteran was told his mobility scooter could be seen as a terrorist threat after he left it unattended in a shopping centre.
Ninety-six-year-old Frank Curtis, who was blown up in World War II and helped liberate Belsen concentration camp, sometimes leaves
his scooter parked in The Spires, in High Street, Barnet, while he nips off for a bite to eat or does some shopping.
But when he returned to it recently he found a note from the centre’ s management telling him to stop “dumping” his property unattended and that it was not acceptable “in light of current world terrorist events”.

^^^ this, must always be remembered. Even very intelligent people seem to forget this. No matter how realistic the scares are, whether it's a 4 minute warning, or an incontravertable chemical weapons capability, there is always a dimension of potential falsity or irrelevancy that is tacticaĺly omitted.There will always be a BogeyMan an enemy, someone to sell the old weapons too, so they can test out the new drones etc etc.
A bit reactionary don't you think.
Despicable!Pope Francis tells of his 'profound shock and sadness' after four of Mother Teresa's nuns were among 16 people shot dead at a care home in Yemen
- Gunmen entered retirement home in Aden and handcuffed victims before shooting them in the head
- Pope Francis called the attack an 'act of senseless and diabolical violence'
- A nun survived hiding inside a fridge in a storeroom after hearing a Yemeni guard shouting, 'Run, run'
- Nuns were from the order established by Mother Teresa, who will soon be made a saint

Quite a lot of reports re: FBI acting as agents provocateur in these situations. Although, I have to wonder about the people who fall foul of these stings. I think most people would run a mile and then call the cops if an acquaint ensue tried to get them involved in a terrorist attack...
