Why Communities Must Develop Bio Security Plans
We cannot rely on government to protect us from a Bio-Terrorist Attack. They have proven that they cannot protect us from attack and cannot do it alone. They will need the help of each and every American to help prevent an attack and then need our assistance if, God forbid one occurs. Communities are well advised to have their own Bio-Security Plan in place and be ready to work with first responders.
Community Bio Security Plan
A bio-terrorist attack in the United States is highly probable in the next two-decades. We must be ready and have a plan in place in each community; a plan, which is similar to other communities. Each individual plan will need to be somewhat modified to fit the feel of the community and the individual and regional variations. Areas, which are rural must watch their Dairies and Livestock. Large cities must pay attention to their transit systems, building ventilation systems and businesses.

Tracing Energy Use in Power Lines
North Korea is accepting some assistance from South Korea in the form of aid and this most likely will help alleviate the negotiation stress from the Nuclear disarmament talks between the two-nations. The Chairman of North Korea is a tough, hardball, negotiator and will most likely do quite well for his tactics and tough stance in aid and trade deals. This is good and bad. Bad because countries like Iran may try to follow his lead and demand all kinds of concession the free world does not ...
Decency
All of nature has rules. Although unwritten and unspoken, in a primitive and savage way, right and wrong still exist there. The alpha wolf decides what is right in the pack because it possesses the physical power to exert its will. A tree may dictate what is right by exuding toxic chemicals into the soil out to its root perimeter in order to extinguish competing plants. A lion takes prey from a hyena and a hyena takes it from a leopard because that is the order of things and therefore the ...

General Douglas MacArthur's Disappearance
Former CIA Director James Woolsey and Bennett are out and about in 2003 telling the truth about the Cold War being properly called World War Three. Just as the current war on terror is WWIV and will continue to be. MacArthur did not want that to happen and he was ready to use the A-Bomb to end the Korean War. He had to be replaced – that kind of sensible action (A-Bombs are tactical weapons and actually save overall life and create less pollution than the alternatives.) could cut into a lot ...

This gentleman at the coffee shop also told me that there were actually seven bombs in all and that two had not gone off.

That trade is ...
