ORLANDO Shootings

We’re told police waited for three hours for more personnel and an armored vehicle to arrive. Save Photo Omar Mateen was put on an F.B.I. watch list after making inflammatory comments to co-workers claiming connections to terrorists abroad. When a young American man from coastal Florida drove a truck packed with explosives into a hilltop restaurant in Syria in May 2014, F.B.I.  agents scoured his online postings and interviewed his contacts in Florida in a scramble to determine who, if anyone, might try to launch a similar attack inside the United States. One of the people they spoke to was Omar Mateen, a young security guard from a nearby town who had attended the same mosque as the suicide bomber and had been on a terrorism watch list for incendiary comments he once made to co-workers at a local courthouse. But the F.B.I. soon ended its examination of Mr. Mateen after finding no evidence that he posed a terrorist threat to his community. T

36m ago 17:35 Summary Here’s what we know so far about  EgyptAir flight MS804 , which went missing en route from Paris to Cairo at 2.30am local time Thursday morning. EgyptAir retracted its claim to have found wreckage belonging to MS804,  falling in line with Greek authorities who said that floating debris did not belong to the plane. “We stand corrected,” Airline vice-president Ahmed Adel  told CNN , adding that the recovered debris “is not our aircraft”. President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi ordered the navy, air force and army to join with Egyptian, French, Greek and US forces  searching the Mediterranean for debris. The debris falsely attributed to MS804 was found near the island of Karpathos, east of Crete. Egypt’s aviation minister Sherif Fathy said terrorism was more likely than technical failure  to be the cause of the crash. “ The possibility of having a terror attack is higher than the possibility of having a technical [problem] ,” he told reporters.

. SECRECY NEWS From the FAS Project on Government Secrecy Volume 2016, Issue No. 18 February 24, 2016 Secrecy News Blog:   http://fas.org/blogs/ secrecy/ **     NEW DOE RULES ON CLASSIFIED HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH **     ARMY: RAPID REPROGRAMMING NEEDED FOR CYBER OPS NEW DOE RULES ON CLASSIFIED HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH The Department of Energy last month issued new  guidance  on the conduct of classified scientific research involving human subjects. While all human subject research is governed by federal regulations, the  new DOE policy imposes several additional requirements whenever such research is to be performed on a classified basis. For example, the proposed classified research must be reviewed and approved in advance by an Institutional Review Board, and the Board must include a non-scientist member and a member who is not a governmental employee (though he or she must hold a security clearance for this purpose). Also, the normal requirement for informed co

A BIT SAD, BUT THIS IS GREAT!

When Elvis Presley hit the road in June 1977, he was an absolute mess. He was only 42, but years of prescription drug abuse and horrifying dietary habits had left him bloated, depressed and near death. He had an enlarged heart, an enlarged intestine, hypertension and incredibly painful bowel problems. He was barely sleeping and should have probably been in the hospital, but he was still a huge draw on the concert circuit and the money was too good to turn down. It had been over a year since Elvis last released a studio album, and his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was determined to get more product into the stores. Despite  Elvis' horrid shape, Parker arranged for a camera crew to film the June 19th  show in Omaha for a planned TV special and live album. It eventually did air on CBS two months after Elvis died, but has yet to resurface in any official capacity. Of course, this isn't the image of Elvis that his estate wants the fans to remember. Tw

Reptilians Draconians

I believe there are two categories of people that allow this kind of hatred to invade their mindset, and I would like to discuss both.    The first category are those who have been thoroughly manipulated by the spiritual propaganda that is currently being pushed by so many individuals. Their lack of experience combined with their desire for answers makes them easy targets for those hoping to spread their ideals of hatred. The fact that we’re exposed to depictions of reptiles being evil, dark, negative, nasty, ect., from children stories all the way to up to religion, makes humans more prone to be influenced by this kind of prejudice and fear. Certain things rest within the subconscious, and as we grow in this world, what we are exposed to influences how we experience this reality. The people in this category have no experiential proof to back up their hatred and discrimination, and hold fear-based articles and YouTube videos to enforce their claims instead of actual first-hand famil
