Brief Global Roundup of Main News Stories February 11th 2019

In part due to catastrophes such as what occurred in the Reno area of Nevada several weeks ago, where victims of assaults occurred by a teenager reportedly only 19 years old; (educating and conditioning the minds of youths whether they be our own, legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, or never make it to the border to attempt at immigration, must be tended to, along with prevention of illegal immigration, especially with respect to the possibilities of horrific crimes by illegal immigrants; that is 'another discussion', not at this moment the discussion of this roundup); and the dam that gave way in Brazil within recent weeks, resulting in about 12 dozen missing; that these were not covered by our news HCN, a global roundup is set forth.

Stalking

https://www.eastidahonews.com/2019/02/former-high-school-teacher-sobs-before-being-sentenced-for-stalking/

Stalking is a crime, not just in Idaho. 

Stalking in itself is a crime, not just what potentially can occur after a stalker meets his or her victim, such as an assault.

Numerous weak rationales to cover and attempt to justify wrongful stalking, from educational camaraderie, to dignity of religious institutions, to ethnic exclusion for group closeness, do not make wrongful stalking right.  Softly spoken now.

Circling Back to Issues in Laos and Nearby Regions Forced to the Forefront by Necessity While Other Global Defense Developments are Attention Grabbers

February 6, 2019

Written and published February 5, 2019

For now, before a long drawn out sermon on why making sharp and sharper looks into unexploded ordinance in Laos right through here, might be a wise move, given that the frequency of injuries is receiving global media attention at lightning speeds, the USA's position on world peace today might be presented a little differently than roughly a half century ago, and of course, consistency across the board an ideal- this will briefly, very briefly hit on the subject, that concerns over the status of what is going on in the region that surrounds and includes modern day Laos is stark and logical to have. 

Social media tools like live-streaming, translation while live-streaming, and cameras abound, are affecting the dynamics of how information is circulating, even in less industrialized areas.

The USA emerging from a government shutdown within recent weeks, is not the only nation that suffers from the woeful repercussions of narcotic production.  Narcotics that emanate from the Laos and Myanmar region is a key subject.  The flower itself, in opium, as we all know is a but a flower.  It is the abusive manipulation of the flower that is the beginning of sin.  Becoming increasingly well known, is that regions around Afghanistan, and south of the Mexico border, are not the only locations where there are flowers and plants that drugs are derived from.

On an, as a matter of fact basis, a number of news and narcotic analyst reports are surfacing that opium fields in Myanmar are a major source of what eventually turns into drugs showing up in the streets of Australia and China, to name a few.

How does this relate to government shutdown in the USA?, some of it has to do with tying together narcotic trafficking through borders besides the one near Texas and Mexico, as obvious and reiterated, South American countries known as big exporters of narcotics are not the only ones growing the source crop, and that other locations besides these are converting the crop into the dangerous lure and then lethal commodity.  It is well within the realm of possibility, that drugs could be attempted to be brought in to the US through locations other than the hackneyed Texas-Mexico where proposals for borderwalls would stand.  The main matter is immigration, perhaps a rebut, then ask, why the pressure is so high to immigrate, to escape, somewhere in some of the answers is domination that has involvement in drugs.

This is no fairy tale, to clog up the Internet with key words the get query results, upon any doubt, in respectful tone, simply check the number of narcotic gang related deaths in numerous countries from Central America and work southward, and check recent United Nations reports on global narcotic distribution.

The whole circle.

Going back in time to the Nixon years, news reports have it that explosives were used, in Laos.  Videos of very recent incidents are going viral enough to be described as popular, such as of a three year old boy who had unexploded ordinance affect him to where he is now for intents and purposes blind.

At the same time, there are news reports of aggressive and hostile groups, that can be escalated to blandly being designated 'possible terrorist groups' that exist over in the South East Asia region.  Trafficking of the narcotics keeps up, coming out the region.  Child armies keeps going.  The general attitude of making money is more important than the hurt upon those less powerful through drugs, is a regular climate in some social circles, today, there in that very same region that was next door to Vietnam, to which the War decades back takes it name.

Nevertheless, referent videos, whether true, untrue, or partially true, are perceivable as putting bad lights on the US.

It is not necessary to digress into all the vagaries of all the potential crime that comes in to the US through the Canadian border, in this writing, especially considering all that Canada has to contend with to keep criminality out.  And there are other ways, and more ways, that criminally savvy individuals are continually advancing methods to sneak drugs around.

Meanwhile, among stories that just cropped up, alongside the bitterness of drug related activities of Laos and Myanmar, translated from Vietnamese:

"Russia developed a new missile system to deal with the US in 2021

February 5, 2019

Russia said it would race to develop two ground missile systems before 2021 to deal with the US withdrawal from the Mid-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

According to Reuters , President Vladimir Putin suspended the Treaty of Mid-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) signed with the US during the Cold War, which banned two nations from deploying surface-to-air missiles. Short and medium range in Europe.

Moscow and Washington accused each other of violating the treaty and Putin said Russia had decided to act after the US withdrew.

Washington makes it clear that it plans to begin the process of research, development and design of new missile systems and that Moscow will do the same, the Russian president said.

The Russian army will begin to develop ground-based launch systems for the payroll ship of Kalibr, the cruise ship with the long-range supersonic missiles with the lowest travel speed. 5 times the speed of sound.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on February 5 instructed the military to develop new systems. Mr. Shoigu said he wanted the system to be finalized next year to be ready for combat in 2021.

That is a roundup for 'hot' news in the press that has to do with global tension.  Of course our own backyard, pertinently, making certain there is no violent crime in the DC area, is a standard must.

 

 

Expectations of Human Behavior in Response to Government Shutdown

January 14, 2019
There is a sense of uneasiness, in many aspects of the American fabric right now.  'Government shutdown' is something uncomfortable.  This regardless of ad hoc technicalities of what the functions of shutdown are, in whole or part.

As people go without paychecks, and go without the funds to provide food for those under their care, restlessness grows.

There will be pressure to pass new laws, and eventually, the people might take to the streets and protest if progress is not made as fast as what they find ideal.

Wildfire Trouble in California a Sign of Other Troubles That Must Immediately Be Stopped

November 10, 2018
Written in the late night hours of November 9, 2018 EST

One could start off with a flaming rant, of 'look', Bismillah, recite the whole verse of the first verse of the Opening Chapter of Quran, speak in tongues so sharp it makes eyes boil and melt when seeing the words before they sink in, Jesus~Isa knows fact before fallacy, the right from the left, when you think of all the curses and spells that he rid.  Muhammad, in his sayings according to what is recorded today, discusses in some places 88,000 Prophets, whereat he was the Seal of the Prophets. -What that means is, there are about 87,000 or so, at least, that many here in America know almost nothing about, nevermind, what was said by them if they spoke, or what was revealed to them.-  Many of us here on earth today, know very, very little in comparison to the amount of knowledge, wisdom, and guidance that has been sent down upon mankind.
Knowledge, wisdom, and guidance, can save us from pains.

Right now, the kind of pain individuals, citizens, residents, and even those outside of California, is unspeakably severe.
To compound the College Night shooting of several days ago in Thousand Oaks, the US Marines as a branch of the military having to go through what they are going through after hundreds of years of service to this Country, families of victims have to deal with an emotional wound that will not disappear in moment's notice-- to compound the recent shooting, there are two sets of wildfires that are going on, one a wildfire, dubbed 'Camp Fire', in the area almost 100 miles north of Sacramento in the northern area of the state, the area known as Chico, and another set of wildfires, perhaps comprised by the Woolsey wildfire and Hill wildfire, also affecting over 70,000 homes in the Los Angeles areas, these events between yesterday and today.
It was clear as day, the wildfire in and around Chico was extremely powerful.  How can an entire football field be consumed by a fire in under 1 minute? A natural phenomenon that obviously attests to the greatness of the Creator that created creation.  The wildfire going on was assessed by a renown scholar that it was consuming the equivalent of about 6 football fields a minute.
Nevertheless, almost nothing was done about it, some things were done, and those that went to help, assist in evacuation, and so forth, thank you.
However, we, as in the wide expanse of resources that are supposed to be pulling together as a team, especially in emergencies, fell way, way short, of the mark we needed to be in dealing and mitigating this wildfire.
Going back to, 'look', and shouting about power of Latin speaking abilities of Sicilians from 2500 years ago, to Yaqub~Jacob was the father of a set of sons most agree was at least a dozen to include Yusuf~Joseph, that had knowledge of his sons and what they were doing with each other, he had some discernment.  Contrast his discernment, to whatever discernment that resulted in lack of direction provided to the people that led to 5 persons are dead the very next day, after news, photos, and videos of the wildfire was provided by online news media all over the Country.  Contrast the abilities to communicate effectively.

Pictures of these wildfires and their devastation look like Satan is in his idea of having a surreal good time, which translates into harrowing nightmare on a practical level for the people in the area.

Note: From the start of writing this article, until this sentence, the figure of the number of fatalities written in other news stories, rose from 5, to 9.
What is it going to take, to get the message across that action needs to be taken?

If in the month of June, there is 15 feet of snow on the ground, and no one can get to work, the roads need to be plowed.  We cannot just sit in awe, and say, it is summer, and for snow to be on the ground is unusual, and do nothing about getting the snow out the way.  
This thinking applies to wildfires.  It might be the next to last month in the solar year, the fact is, wildfires are burning and traveling with an intensity, it is a threat past just a state of emergency.

Where is the attention in media going?
What the next hubbub is about some politicians orientation about what he or she is attracted to in their lust for another human being.  That narrow band of frivolty is soaking up a disproportional amount of attention.  Able body young men and capable women need to know there are wildfires going on, and be instilled with the motivation to go and assist with that matter.  Not, 1 photo of 10s of thousands of houses burning, and 2 photos of fools mocking the anointed, manipulating the voting system, for a chance to claim they have some political power.

In another area close by, we cannot have terrorists and child abusers come rushing in to America's borders through the channels of illegal immigration.  Too many heinous crimes have been conducted through those channels and their side-effects.
Again, there is the however statement, spending all day and night discussing matters that seem to build up revenue in a few pockets through media structure manipulation, misses the point, thereunto what the group of matters are that should be a focus to keep the Country in good running condition.
Rhetorical exchanges, after more rhetorical, when very little get accomplished with it, is not where we need to be headed.  There needs to be sufficient motivation, that natural disasters, such as wildfires that we are dealing with now, hurricanes and severe flooding when they occur, need to be dealt with, by those enabled to deal with them.  Enabling more to do more ia a part of the solution.  Dealing with the problem with respect to time is another part.

Lastly for now, for those that have the capacity to loom big in social media, please stop using the woes of those suffering to accumulate wealth; the countless pictures of destruction, what happens after the wildfire, after the mass shooting, after the hurricane, floods, and tornados, can be replaced with warnings of what is imminent, and guidance of what to do to prevent, mitigate, and stop a situation that could lead to burdensome pains.


Several wildfires in November destroying as though it is wildfire season, mass shootings, these could be a sign or signs, that there is something else in stages of development that should not be present either.  It presents to check on, levels of child abuse, child trafficking, narcotics abuse, unauthorized medical pills sold and traded in unauthorized manner causing deaths to those in statistics and those not always accounted for in statistics, senseless killings in the streets over an ounce or two of drugs in impoverished neighborhoods, and generally, a lost grip of the difference between good and bad behavior among men and women.

Refer Burma/Myanmar page for air strikes over the EOM February/2026 start of March 2026 time frame. Up for consideration is the be mindful of the whole pie concept. There may very well be a double team set of missile strikes going on on Iran, subject to differing views; however there are still a number of situations going on globally that are weighted, such as violence in different areas of where the Sahel and Northern Africa meet, situations of starvation in the eastern areas of the belt as well; and missile strikes in other regions.
