EU Report: ISIS Has Smuggled WMD Materials into Europe
Although this is not strickly Objectivist, it is something we should be aware of. It basicallyy is saying the EU is incompetent, and since we know our government is equally or worse, this is something that may warrent attention. They found 6 "middle eastern" men 20 miles into the US with stainless steel cylinders in backpacks. Gee, what do you do with those? I'm leaning towards profiling...

Do the Israelis use some other techniques to figure out what Methods Work Best, or, as I'd postulate for the US, is that shit determined by bureaucrats who've never gotten their shoes muddy in that field at all?
Same as when State Legislatures (Legislators) with micro-experience in Education start designing class sizes, teaching techniques and teachers' salaries?
Hm?
go on through via political correctness. . it's a killer. -- j

News such as this merely creates more frustration to any rational person. Did you hear the President's speech? The same old crap warmed over to fit the occasion. Nothing of substance will be done so long as he is in office.
After San Bernadino, there can be no doubt that the USA is a target for more atrocity. That's why it does no good to attack the spider's web. You must kill the spider
.
Some exceptions were targeting US Style supermarkets in or near areas of extreme poverty and then opening the doors for looting by locals.
Other repeat occurrences were banks if they needed money or pehaps just opened the doors and let local looting take care of the contents.
Meticulous planning and rehersals were the hall marks.
Terrorism changed when it became important to leave lots of collateral damage (innocent bystanders) bodies laying around and people screaming for protection thus the cycle of repression began as required measures and suspensions of civil liberties were shut down. Government then started being the bad guys while real bad buys were liberating a super market.
A third edition when the Islamics added suicide missions. Nothing new just the end result. Jumping on a hand grenade and winning a Medal of Honor, buying a pill in Oregon, smoking two packs a day for thirty years, strapping on a dynamite vest, playing Russian Roulette 6:1, going to war with the Democrats vs. the Republicans the current odds are 18 soldiers dead in a Dino War to 1 in a Dumbo War. the diffrence is in odds and degrees of relativity. Still all of them are an individual killing their own selves. Politics, Religion, are the reasons but the choice is made by the individual.
.The absolute dumbest reason I've ever hears is aborting a male fetus so the son wouldn't get drafted.
The latest step is the government using the same steps and any old crisis for an excuse to reverse the goal - in their favor. That's part of how our nation lost this last go round.
Actually something of substance was accomplished from Bush I to Clinton to Bush II and Obeyme. We became a police state and lost our constitution. The rest of it is pure economics - Greed fueled by Hate and a public that is only too willing to allow the first and provide the second - on command.
Else why would they vote for the cause every two years?
BUT, our government let in the two muslim terrorists that just killed off the people in San Bernardino. They let in the ones that blew up the world trade center in New York. Obviously the current method of keeping terrorist killers out of the country HASNT WORKED !!
Since most of the terrorists come from the muslim population, and we have been unsuccessful at weeding out the terrorists from the so-called "moderate" muslims who dont do violence, but subscribe to the Koran which DOES promote violence against the "non-believers" (translation US)- Maybe the solution IS to keep muslims from coming into the USA until we figure out how to make the distinction (or the muslims themselves take the violent part of their Koran OUT)
Actually, that is exactly the right idea. Trump may be a loon, but he does get to the heart of an issue and point out what is not working. His solutions are sometimes a lot of vague blather, meaning he does not have any better idea, but this time he is on to something. Stop, and let them in slowly and carefully. My question was how does an foriegn looking person get to go buy lots of guns and bullets and not raise a question, even after the fact. I know gun dealers are probably loath to be called racist anti everybody pigs, but a phone call may have helped here. No one is talking about the guns or the money, and that is where they all went wrong. As O'Reiley pointed out, Americans are buying guns because of Obama, not in spite of him.

I heard the founder, Frank Gaffney, speak last week and his information was both illuminating and terrifying. I especially recommend checking out their publications, some of which are downloadable for free. In particular is reading the "Explanatory Memorandum from the Archives of the Muslim Brotherhood" is a very chilling wake up call. And it can't be called 'racism' because it is their OWN words. Knowledge is the first weapon we have.
Already, British police forces have been conducting exercises on how to deal with various types of terrorist attack. But the EU report claims that government should 'consider publicly addressing the possibility of terrorist attack using chemical, biological, radiological or even nuclear materials'.
Perhaps NATO should reassess where the real threat to Europe (and the world) originates, and join forces with Putin and Russia. Instead of alienating him.
get prepared. It looks to me like if something is
to happen, it will be in the next year or so, while
Obama is still in office.
All those hordes of warrior-aged young men strolling into Europe without families will dispose of all of that.
Nothing to see here unless you want to risk being called racist.
That's another reason why I will call myself Islamophobic before the PC Police can beat me to the punch.
As to Muslims, given that they all seem to go along with the Koran, which says violence against non believers is OK (or they wouldnt be muslims), I am very likely to be suspicious that at any time they might decide to eliminate me for my reluctance to believe in their faith. Therefore, bringing them into our country particularly in an en-masse way is inviting trouble. I think its up to the muslims to disavow that part of the Koran and distance themselves from the terrorists. Until they do that, I would support a ban on importing muslims into the US.
Freedom of religion doesnt mean freedom to use religion as a reason to kill me.
In the sixties a writer for Parade magazine the Sunday newspaper supplement donned a Russian Army Colonel's full uniform and bag in hand hitch hiked across the entire USA. In the bag was a contraption he had made with all sorts of nuclear warning stickers. His cover was very thin. Car broke down and he's hitch hiking to the nearest airport.
The miyth of safety behind the barrier of Pacific and Atlantic Oceans was stronger but it's still in effect buttressed by PC and the fear of being called racist or profiler or whatever...
Referring; to another post about San Bernadino I get multiple packages every month delivered and I frequent strange places that speak for the Constitution. But if someone profiled that into a call to the police I'd invite them in for coffee.
Fact is I'm in the same ethnic cultural group as Timothy McVeigh and if you are looking for a Euro-American with propensity or at least no antipathy or abhorrence to violence I might be worth looking at. Add working knowledge and experienced in methodology and tactical skills using provided or kitchen made devices... I'm high on the list. But since i don't look like a camel jockey... pr if I mentioned in passing a preference for voting Democrat...or listening to Streisand etc. etc. etc. no one would take a second look.
Profiling is built on percentages but to cross that witnesses make lousy witnesses. A decent profile takes that into account. No profile takes nothing into account. Chances are very high the local police in every area I've lived have me on their list already. I say that because I've been asked to help out more than once.
My answer would have been scuba diving...
And then I would produce my dive card.
So...Comment. The WMD listed are chemical and biological two of the three. Physics was mentioned.
You should be aware that since 2003 Chemical and Biological forms of WMD have been deemed not WMD by the PC tribunals of the left. Only nuclear and then only in certain carefully descried forms and maybe not then.
At least that's how the mantra goes.
The only thing that saved the nation was a merger between Carl's Junior and Hardees.
FBI version These are weapons that have a relatively large-scale impact on people, property, and/or infrastructure.
No one says it but the inference is large masses of people not limited to military by virtue of it' uncontrolability other than by weather prediction. Therefore any plant or animal kingdom life can be killed or threatened. No specific numbers or quantities are mentioned. Given a somewhat enclosed area such as a football stadium or the Chamber of the House of Representatives which can seat the entire membership of congress, leadership of the executive branch and Supreme Court a good hyperbaric explosion could be counted in that way. LBJ could have been counted as WMD for the KIA rate in in the Vietnam War if time and distance factors were stretched a bit.
JP 3-40 sets this out in as much detail as they care to use. Joint Publication
The U.S. military refers to WMD as: Chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear weapons capable of a high order of destruction or causing mass casualties and exclude the means of transporting or propelling the weapon where such means is a separable and divisible part from the weapon.
The objections seem invariably from those who suddenly realize the battle field is not 10,000 miles away but right here. Whether it's delivered by the jet streams or by some looney tunes is immaterial.
Running a recon team of five to six people I thought of three as to many and four as mass.
It's all relative unless there is some quote where some one has tried to pin it down to say 15,500 or 537.
Instead the next unit may just hole up, construct an imaginary 'walk through the assigned area,' extract and give that report. Minimizing risk for they have no faith in the the rear area support system and no reason to risk ...anything includiing having to stand in parade where the careerist REMF gets the medals having risked nothing. i cannot speak for the current generation....I somehow doubt things have changed since 1970 .
Where I learned that lesson? Heinlein's lecture i Starship Troopers. In real life I found it to be accurate and truthful and very objective.
And when the tour was done we went home only to be hounded with pleas for money to some unit organization after the organization had abandoned us when and where it counted.
