Weather disasters

Flooding

• Hurricane Harvey: hits the Gulf hard, the force and momentum was so strong and that the 'backends' from the eye of the storm is still causing damage and has the potential to keep causing damage at least for immediate future.  Areas affected Texas, Louisiana.  About 40,000 houses as of this moment are either destroyed or rendered useless.

• In the meantime, a concurrent situation in the southwest Florida region emerged with serious flooding, such as Fort Myers and Cape Coral.

• In Asia, India, Nepal, Bangladesh; numbers of fatalities catastrophic, up around or beyond a thousand since the situation began.

• In Africa, northern areas of Uganda, and 5 states in Sudan.  Freetown, Sierra Leone devastated by heavy rains and mudslides.

News in South Africa region

• Still, cannibal cases in Africa.

• Kidnapping, of adults, an increasing concern 

U.S. News

• Gun violence all over the country especially big cities

Global news

• ISIS/IS -- news sources indicative that there has been activity related all over the place, Philippines, Iraq

• Crime related to child porn, all over the place; it is clear it is not just restricted to a couple of big cities or a few little known outskirts where no one can catch them.  Unfortunately, persons that have/had authoritative status that we should expect to clamp down on the activity are instead engaged in it.

• Armenia/Azerbaijan tensions, still going, the main theme seems not to have changed much since the past few years, perhaps the statistics of 'cease fire violations' have

• Palestine/Israel -- turbulence over the Masjid Al Quds, known also as Dome of the Rock.  Some not let in to the site, some went in in what was perceived as intrusive or unfair.  Various 'legislative' and 'restrictions' pertinent the site.

Anytime one is a member of the team, contributing to the effort to make and keep America great, stronger, and protected externally and internally, when an emergency arises, something should be said, even if other parties such as government analysts and security already know what you have to say and much more, and this is established wisdom.

When the sun rises tomorrow, which as a blessing often taken for granted, many will be able to see aspects of the chaos that occurred in Virginia earlier today.

The sun rises and sets each day, chaos performed by human beings at protesting rallies do not duplicate themselves in an order like that.

The events in Charlottesville earlier today, and generally what was beneath the floor of civilized behavior, does not deserve to touch the pages of chapters in American history.

All said, for now, what we, HCN, will do, is lay out a few basic principles, some 'spiritual', some 'practical', that are always solid, and points of references to make assessments, and help make the situation better.

Number one: American homeland security, domestic defense, and that ilk, is smarter and more advanced than foreign enemies will ever know.
-Message: If a foreign enemy is planning something in an attempt to try to deteriorate the United States, even if it be in the way of reducing our dignity, they might as well be told to, please desist and do not bother, they will not succeed.

Second point: There is a saying about being 'dragged by the forelock'.  The context might be in 'Sufi literature', but the application, as witnesses to the chaos in Virginia can see, has applications to everyday dimensions.

-Consider the following questions and points:

• Why did the incident happen in Charlottesville? Did Richmond, or its roughly 72 miles of proximity to, which used to be 'Capital of the Confederacy', back in Civil War days, have something to do with it?
• Is there an invoking of threads and innuendos of 'hate is still alive' going on?

• Filling in the the rest of the sentences to the 'dragging by forelock' wisdom, will not be laid out here.  Albeit, if a faith guide to the White House has shown up, there are those of us that know the rest of the sentences, that are on the same page, in reference to what the assessment of the scenes in Charlottesville are, or could be.

• When chaotic dangers emerge, and there are fits of violence happening, where human beings are beside themselves numerous times, there could be additional dangers not fully ascertained or ascertainable yet, which could also emerge or have emerged.

• Two police officers no longer with us, is any of what went on today worth it?

• In the knowledge of mass groups of people acting out behaviors, there are sayings and knowledge that have to do with tides of energies to the left, where one could ask, how could so many people be in that modality; how all that happens, refer back to the forelock literature.

• Of course, the standard question is there for incidents like today's scene, which is, was everyone who was involved fully 'annihilated in work of the Lord'? If the answer is yes, then so it be, if the answer is no, or not entirely, then there is some serious reflecting that some people should be doing about where their minds, behavior, and cleanliness of heart, needs to move to.
  

We really did not want to place the subject matter on the first page of the newspaper, but, maybe there was a mild victory there to those to the evil left; however, there are other victories that will be one by those of us that strive for a peaceful nation.

An MV-22 Osprey aircraft crashed into waters near the east coast of Australia, event in progress.  The ship, USS Bonhomme Richard.  What the up to the minute status is a challenge to post here, as the situation is developing and in a remote area, however, the source of the story, http://abc7ny.com/3-us-marines-missing-after-aircraft-crashes-off-coast-of-australia/2277974/, says 23 that were on board the aircraft have been rescued.

An explosion occurred in a Minnesota masjid, a place of worship in Islam, CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/05/us/explosion-reported-minnesota-mosque/index.html) just released about 5 minutes ago, near 7:35pm EST, that it was hit by an IED.  An improvised explosive device, acronym IED, is known for exploding in places like the warfields of Afghanistan and Iraq in the past decade or so, claiming the lives and injuring many U.S. soldiers.  An IED, which does not have to be a weapon confined to just the Middle East, is a serious scare when it is set off here on U.S. soil.  Fortunately, no one was injured in the Bloomington, Minnesota masjid blast that occurred around 5pm local time, 6am EST.

The recent history--

• USS Fitzgerald incident June 2017 near Japan, soldiers missing, then found

• Fire at a Tampa, Florida area masjid ruled arson February 2017; Riverside, California area fire in a masjid in or about December 2015 might have been hate crime; Islamic Center of Ypsilanti, Michigan fire, March 2017

Pulling together multiple facts from multiple locations sometimes can be a challenge especially when just one of the event warrant significant effort to remedy and the event attracts becoming getting consumed in involvement with that process.

These are recent 3 factual events in a summary, that everyone here in the U.S., if not the world need to know:

• Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Woman assaulted around the middle of April 2017

• Portland, Oregon: incident where the result left 2 men fatally stabbed due to their intervening of an assault on a woman on a local train; occurrence in May

• Sterling, Virginia: IHOP to ADAMS Center, in an early Sunday morning, assault on a teenage female in June 2017

The events have some common denominators to them.

Figuring out how to prevent such situations is a better arch.

This article is subject to being revised with further detail.

A copy or version of this article is being prepared to be posted on our augment site, HCN Prime.

The United States Vice President visiting the demilitarized zone at a very sensitive time in the timeline of the Koreas region since the end of the Korean War.


Why might this be a sensitive time?

There has been discussion by news sources having to do with recent missile tests in the past week performed by North Korea.

There might be concern that some of the crimes against political prisoners has been ongoing since long before the current leader of North Korea could have possibly had ascertainment of them.

Developments pertinent North Korea that currently sit salient has aspects two-pronged, one, punishment of political prisoners and rumored experiments on humans that are archaic and obsolete in today's acceptance of what is civilized, and second, nuclear capability, whereat the trust factor such as to potentialities of the capability is toward the forefront of international peace agenda.

What the precise reality is on a day to day basis in terms of what is pragmatically going on inside the geopolitical borders of North Korea, might be somewhat elusive to the world outside that Nation.  This all while dimensions in the South China Sea have hot seat issues now, namely the prospects of oil, and territorial disputes. 

The sum of the entirety is a recipe that attracts intervention to attain and maintain at least an understanding circumscribing the developments of the region, for instance so that the U.S. knows how to keep our deck of cards straight on the international table and able to not just compete, economically, militarily and standard facets, but also survive.  The reference to survival could ask, what would happen if the price per barrel of oil dropped so low, ten times lower than ever before, from the markets we have been getting the oil from the last 50 years, to compete against oil sales coming from underwater off-shore drilling in the South China Sea?  Maybe good, maybe bad, likely a combination that would have different kinds of repercussions, perhaps the stock market, perhaps how large oil corporations run daily gas station operations, as hypothetical.

It spells out there may be a desire to have transparency in a region that historically has plausibly been shrouded to the world outside of it and not been transparent by nature.

What is needed is needed; as far as trying to get a hold of secret mystical mysteries out of anything and everything east of the east coast of China to fulfill ambitions of new museum exhibits, those might have to be left out of the equation, reference peace and economic equilibrium, at least for now, especially if they are not necessary and going to upset the natives there.
