VIEW: 19-12: USA Not Alone in Terrorism

USA NOT ALONE IN TERRORISM Week of 201/03/25
One morning recently the 5:00 A.M. radio news woke me up with the
story that there had been a multiple shooting in two or three Islam Mosques
in Christchurch, New Zeland. First reports were that there were numerous
victims killed and wounded in each. Also that the perpetrator had used two
military grade rifles, and this in a nation with extremely strict gun control laws.
Particularly restricted are 'side arms', that is pistols. Shortly later the story
came out that the killer had posted on the Internet his multi-page statement of
being against Islam 'invaders' and the US media stated that he was a 'white,
right wing extremist', or words to that effect. As this is written, it still is not
clear from media reports just what the killer's motive might have been,
although a few alternatives come to mind.
Nearby Australia has even more strict gun laws in that a few years ago
the Government ordered ALL guns collected and proceeded to destroy all
of them. Some of those destroyed were reported to be museum quality
antiques or of special historical importance. In my opinion that action really
borders on criminal even 'Down Under'. Reports from there since that time
have held that their murder rate went up in multiples, providing accuracy to
the bumper stickers proliferating a few decades ago that read: "When guns
are outlawed only outlaws will have guns".
Almost immediately came a report from Holland of multiple deaths
from a shoot-em-up in a train there. This has so far been presumed to be a
terrorist incident. Again, the incident was located in a so-called 'soft target'
where no guns would be allowed, except for law enforcement. As last
reported the culprit had not been interrogated, or maybe even apprehended.
Frankly, it is not much if any comfort to hear of such activities
elsewhere, but over time we seem to have become more resigned to hearing
about them. In a way it could be considered somewhat surprising that we
have not had more such reports right here at home. Perhaps the Imperial
Japanese Military establishment had it right when, after our victory,
captured documents reportedly stated that it had been decided NOT to
invade continental USA 'because there is so much privately owned and used
weaponry that the loss of troops would be prohibitive. That report has not
had the wide distribution that it should have received, but in the late 1940's it
had been fairly well spread, at least to we former military and patriotic groups.
In addition, we are now in the situation where ALL Boeing 737 Max
the, latest models, have been grounded, world wide, because of two odd
crashes within a couple of months. Both were of planes owned and operated
by 'third world' nations and occurred shortly after take off and, reportedly,
was a sudden dive into the ground. Immediately the 'green agenda' group
was calling for their grounding while our FAA and NTSB took a more logical
approach but finally 'joined the party'. It seems, in my opinion, that no one
even gave a thought to the possibility of terrorist activity. In the meantime the
airlines, particularly USA owned private enterprise companies must suffer the
losses of having to make payments on planes sitting on airport ramps losing
money. Foreign airlines usually are owned by the governments, so that isn't
critical. And, logically, Airbus management must be gloating. While our
sympathies are with those lost, and more importantly their survivors, it is
hoped that the true causes can be quickly determined and the planes returned
to service, it seems critical to me that our Government officials elevate the
level of security and research to keep us safe here. And that definitely
includes supporting PRESDT-45 in efforts to build the wall, and I mean WALL!!!
