There were many days when she was unable to get out of bed and subsisted on whole-wheat crackers, warm mineral water, the fickle affection of her cat Esther and sleep as the afternoons dragged into late mornings while the shifting blue glow from her bedroom television covered her pale face and bare limbs like a warm muted blanket. He will later insist that this relationship was simply an exploration of the roles and preconceived notions of romantic love. The unlikely vow they took later that night, upon her faintly perfumed sheets, was to love one another with as few inhibitions as possible and without any emotional strings attached until the end of the year.
While placing her elbows on the table, "Don't you want to know what she is thinking right now?" "Sure," he shrugged, "why not?" "Well she is hoping that everyone here will notice how beautiful she looks in that new dress," before glancing over her shoulder, "although she is a bit disappointed that there aren't that many people here yet . . . which is odd especially considering that Times review," then rested her chin in the narrow palm of her left hand, "but maybe if they linger over dessert she'll get a larger audience." "Oh really," he squeezed his knees, "and how do you know that?" During their first date last Thursday afternoon in the rear of a dimly lit Tribeca café, he had carefully floated the idea of his experiment past her. "She is a real type." It happened after the first awkward pause in their conversation, after they had exhausted an extensive list of writers that he admired. He stole another glance at the couple across the restaurant as the skepticism in his voice, "I guess," betrayed him. It was just after she had finished her second cup of chamomile tea. She shifted in the metal chair, "I was once very close to a woman like that." As the opening strains of Bruckner's 6th were piped in through the café speakers, he politely asked her if he could talk about himself. "Do you think you still have anything in common with the woman sitting across from us?" She batted her eyelashes while confessing that she found him fascinating and assured him that nothing would be more interesting than learning more about him.
What followed was a carefully prepared and well-rehearsed twenty-minute monologue that began with a detailed description of his unhappy childhood and concluded with his proposal concerning romantic love. He was an only child of divorced parents, he had endured a stifling upper middle-class suburban upbringing and attended a private liberal arts college in the northeast that was well known for its creative writing program. She was informed that his professional prospects were quite good and that although he was so young a few of his stories had already been published in quarterly journals and monthly magazines and achieved, to a certain degree, critical acclaim. He had recently made the acquaintance of the assistant to a highly sought after agent and believed that it was only a matter of time before his first collection of short stories would be picked up by a major publishing house for a hefty sum. He then speculated that, even though the major houses weren't publishing many short story collections from young writers, with the help of his soon to be agent and a handful of well placed and carefully tended relationships with powerful editors it could easily turn out to be a bestseller. With watery blue eyes widening behind fashionable frames, he wistfully described the power he would soon be wielding in the publishing industry. Claiming that he had everything he wanted, everything he hoped for in his young life had been attained and yet he had never experienced love. She stopped herself from remarking that so few of us, especially people like us, ever do experience love and simply nodded before gazing thoughtfully at the urine colored dregs in the bottom of her tea cup. He appraised her silent response before confidently adding that he was certain that with her—and only with her—a woman twice his age—could he truly come to understand just what it meant to be in love. This was because she had known love, as any woman as beautiful must have on countless occasions, and because, and here he paused long enough to prepare the delivery, she had thus far lived a full, and by her own acknowledgment, an interesting life. She was silently flattered by all of his false assumptions.

We Discover Canada And Beyond: Yukon and Alaska Bound, Part 42. Mayo to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
Yukon and Alaska Bound, Part 42. Mayo to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
Drive from Mayo to Whitehorse.
Dramatic sky early morning leaving 5 mile lake, Mayo, Yukon.
It is the 7th of August 2014 and we break camp at 5 Mile Lake in pouring rain. It sure can rain in the Yukon when it wants to.
There was a lot of construction just outside Mayo, so we had to wait quite a bit, but the trade-off will be better roads.
Eventually we arrived at Stewart Crossing and made a quick pit-stop. Further down the road at Pelly Crossing we stopped and got another Yukon Stamp by visiting the great Johnathan Native House. Here some wonderful large painting are on exhibit.
Anders, Liz, Christian, Annemarie, Lisbeth and Hansuli at Five Finger Rapids, Yukon Canada.
At 5 Finger Rapids we stopped and had our packed lunch and enjoyed the views.
Once we were back on the road again, it was not long before we arrived in Carmacks. It was still raining a bit. We fueled up, had an afternoon nap, bought an ice cream, then we were set for a few more hours on the road.
The road south is fairly good from here on to Whitehorse. We made one more pits-top at Braeburn Lodge, they have some gigantic cinnamon buns...... so good.
Once in Whitehorse we set up camp at Hi Country RV Park. It is a great park with full hook-ups. Some sites are a bit tight, but all are in good shape.
Left overs and pasta for supper. Tomorrow we will re-group and the Swiss will prepare for their trip home.
For more pictures from this part of the trip check out our album.

Plasma Therapy Aids Recovery in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients
WEDNESDAY, June 3, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- The blood plasma of people who have recovered from the new coronavirus infection may help critically ill COVID-19 patients recover, a new study finds.
Of 25 sick patients given plasma transfusions, 19 improved and 11 left the hospital, the researchers reported. None of the patients had side effects from the transfusion.
"While physician scientists around the world scrambled to test new drugs and treatments against the COVID-19 virus, convalescent serum therapy emerged as potentially one of the most promising strategies," explained lead researcher Dr. James Musser, chair of the department of pathology and genomic medicine at Houston Methodist hospital. "With no proven treatments or cures for COVID-19 patients, now was the time in our history to move ahead rapidly."
Plasma transfusions from recovered patients have been used since at least 1918 during the Spanish Flu pandemic and in 2003 in the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) pandemic. It was also employed in the influenza H1N1 pandemic in 2009 and the 2015 Ebola outbreak in Africa, the researchers noted.
The new report was published online recently in the American Journal of Pathology.
This latest study isn't the only research looking into the power of plasma transfusions in treating COVID-19.
Two groups of researchers are testing the theory in clinical trials.
One study, from doctors at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, will try to determine whether "convalescent plasma" injected into hospitalized COVID-19 patients can protect them from developing severe disease or requiring a ventilator.
Meanwhile, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore are poised to launch a pair of new studies looking at the use of plasma in health care workers and those who are sick at home with COVID-19.
Dr. Corita Grudzen, vice chair for research in NYU Langone Health's department of emergency medicine, wrote the study protocol for the New York City study.
"What we hope to see is that convalescent plasma, used at this stage of disease, so early on, prevents patients from dying, from going on a mechanical ventilator, or any sort of bad outcome," Grudzen said in a HealthDay Live interview.
The tactic is "sort of a stopgap measure in the sense that, when you don't have a vaccine, it's something that can be used in a new infection where we don't have known drugs or other therapeutics or biologics that we know can work against the disease," Grudzen explained.
Exactly what is blood plasma?
"Blood plasma is the liquid part of the blood," explained Dr. Arturo Casadevall, chair of Hopkins' department of molecular microbiology and immunology and lead researcher on the two Hopkins studies.
Characterized by its yellowish cast, plasma contains both red and white blood cells, as well as the colorless platelets the body deploys to clot and stem bleeding from wounds or cuts.
"And that's [also] where the antibodies are," Casadevall noted. "The antibodies are floating in the liquid."
With plasma therapy, he explained, "you're taking the antibodies that somebody else made when they recovered and you're transferring them to a new person. So, the new person gets them already made, and can use them right away."
Convalescent plasma is not without dangers.
The two main ones are the patient catching an infectious disease, though blood screening helps to lessen that possibility, or a patient's immune system reacting badly to the injected plasma of another person. Grudzen noted that, "especially in older people, it's a little more risky."
And Casadevall cautioned that plasma therapy still needs to be tested on COVID-19 to see if it'll work against this specific virus, "simply because it's a new organism."
To that end, Hopkins is set to start two COVID-19 plasma investigations simultaneously, with funding coming from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the state of Maryland, and Hopkins.
"The first trial is focused on trying to use plasma on high-risk populations," he noted. That investigation will include health care workers on the frontlines of the pandemic and nursing home residents, with a minimum of 150 participants.
"The second trial is focused on people who are sick at home," Casadevall said. "We know most people recover. Most people today who are sick are sitting at home hoping to get better. But we also know that some fraction of them will get worse," he added.
There's more about the COVID-19 pandemic at Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.

Week 264 - Double Rainbow! — Go Free Range.
Week 264 - Double Rainbow!
Week 264 was mostly spent in our office having now finished up with FutureLearn. We really enjoyed the 41 weeks (starting way back in week 222) we spent working with the team at FutureLearn and are really proud of what they've managed to achieve.
Monday saw GFR HQ host the second installment of the Little Schemer book club. I wasn't able to attend due to being struck down with some crazy voice altering lurgy but I understand that they're making good progress. Tom Stuart did a great job of writing it all up and painstakingly pulling in commits from various git repositories to his little scheme project.
We're still looking for someone to take our office and spent quite some time showing round prospective tenants, speaking to our estate agent and dealing with office-related enquiries. There is a tiny part of me that wonders if we should just keep the office to the end of the lease given how long it's taking to try to find someone to take it from us.
While we certainly had admin things to do, we also wanted to make sure that we did some more fun/exploratory things with our time. To that end, we both focussed on a couple of things we took from The First International Conference on Software Archaeology. I had a go at writing up what I got from the conference. It took me ages to write the blog post as I started writing a simple set of notes about each talk before realising that maybe there was another, potentially more useful, way of slicing it. While I was struggling to write a blog post, James made a great start on a tool that attempts to make it easier to trace the history of a method through a project. This is definitely something I could've used in the past and I'm looking forward to see where it goes.
Aside from the TICOSA related work, I spent a short while creating a Greasemonkey like user script to make a tiny improvement to my experience of the HSBC UK business internet banking website. This may appear really gimmicky but I think it's worth remembering that it's the beauty of the open technologies of the web that make this sort of thing possible.
Having had a final meeting with FutureLearn on Friday, we ended the week at The Fellow in King's Cross for ours and That Tommy Hall's FutureLearn leaving drinks. It was a good send-off and I'm sure it won't be the last time we share a drink with the team.
All that's left is to show you the double rainbow that appeared outside while I've been writing these notes. Have great weeks y'all.

Flight MH370 Bio-Terror Attack on U.S. or World Cup in Brazil Imminent

SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Based on breaking news and events, it appears that the CIA-spawned terrorists known as ISIS will execute a 9/11-style bio-terror attack on the country of Brazil (possibly the 2014 FIFA World Cup) or the continental United States within the next 72-hours.
The surprise attack will likely come via Flight MH370 (which was hijacked in an "act of piracy") using Syria's "undeclared" bio-chemical weapons. Needless to say, the made-for-TV bio-terror attack by ISIS will inevitably spark the global pandemic planned for 2014.
That being said, ISIS terrorists, who have already seized US tanks and Humvees, may decide to hijack U.S. military plane(s) which, in theory, could fly undetected across the Atlantic Ocean. Since the U.S. government reportedly trained ISIS at secret base in Jordan, they should theoretically have no problem flying U.S. military planes.
As foreshadowed in the June 30, 2014, CNN report entitled "How to Keep ISIS Terror from U.S. Shores", the CIA's endgame is the full-scale invasion of the United States by ISIS terrorists. In the event that this horrific terror plot comes to fruition, the terrorists will likely crash-land somewhere in the state of Florida. Interestingly, on July 3, 2014, it was revealed that the U.S. Air Force has grounded its entire fleet of F-35's after one of the planes was reportedly damaged in a runway fire last month.
Needless to say, the suspicious grounding of the entire fleet has left the United States vulnerable to an aerial attack, especially since the planes are based out of Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Since 2009, the 33d Fighter Wing and her F-35s have provided armed over-watch of North America for Operation Noble Eagle, protecting the U.S. from hijacked and/or unidentified planes.
In the event that the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is targeted with a "live" 9/11-style bio-terror attack, the CIA can choose from a four quarterfinal games which will take place this weekend: July 4, 2014: France vs. Germany; July 4, 2014: Brazil vs. Colombia; July 5, 2014: Argentina vs. Belgium; and July 5, 2014: Netherlands vs. Costa Rica.
Of the four games in question, the prime-time game between France and Germany at 6:00 PM (EST) on July 4, 2014 is the most likely of to suffer an attack, mainly due to the time of the game and the respective teams involved. As depicted in the June 24, 2014, Truther.org report entitled "RED ALERT: CIA Plotting ISIS Bio-Terror Attack on 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil", the country of Germany was previously targeted for attack on June 26, 2014.
Since the France vs. Germany game is being played at Estádio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Flight MH370 or a hijacked U.S. military plane could theoretically come off the Atlantic Ocean at full speed, attacking the game or the city of Rio before Brazilian air defenses could respond. If successful, the bio-terror attack would be seen "live" by roughly 1 billion people around the world.
WORLD CUP BIO-TERROR ATTACK:
According to a June 3, 2014, report from The Rio Times, "Terrorist attacks are another eventuality under consideration, as despite Brazil not being an identified target, it is possible that a global mega-event could be the scene of attacks". The report goes on to state that 13,000 military officers are on call for bomb disposal, anti-chemical and biological threats, and of course air defense. A June 12, 2014, BBC report revealed that Brazilian security forces have trained for various terror attack scenarios, including chemical and biological. In other words, everything needed for a full-scale bio-chemical terror attack (i.e., "global mega-event") at the 2014 FIFA World Cup is now in place in Brazil.
A total of 170,000 security personnel along with 57,000 members of the Brazil's armed forces will be involved in "intelligence operations" at the World Cup. These secret operations will likely be executed by some 1,850 members of the Special Forces who are part of select counter terrorism units (i.e., terror squads). Just prior to the World Cup, more than 30,000 troops from the army, navy and air force executed a border security operation codenamed "Agata", Brazil's "single largest mobilization ever". Evidently, the drill was executed to provide the Brazilian government plausible deniability in the wake of an attack emanating from outside their borders as well as the closure of Brazil's borders once martial law is called and vaccines become mandatory. In total, at least 258,850 military personal have been activated in Brazil, not counting Blackwater troops.
In what appears to be pre-aerial attack conditioning for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, it was reported on June 14, 2014, that a drone was spotted flying above the French team's football camp. The drone, which was likely one of two unmanned Israeli drones purchased for security at the World Cup, set the precedent for an aerial attack on a Brazilian soccer stadium. The drones in question will be used to monitor terror operations from the air as well as create so-called "suicide bombings" and "car bombings" around Brazil with its arsenal of deadly missiles.
The notion that ISIS terrorist could seize an airport somewhere in the Middle East in order to launch their surprise aerial attack on the World Cup was recently witnessed on June 9, 2014, after the Taliban claimed responsibility for a terror attack on a Pakistani airport. Less than 24-hours later, terrorists launched a second assault on Karachi Airport, showing their brazen nature in the process. Coincidentally, a day later on June 10, 2014, it was reported that ISIS terrorists now control of two airports in Iraq, one of which will likely be used to launch an attack on the World Cup in Brazil.
Regardless if Flight MH370 or a U.S. military plane is used in a bio-terror attack on the World Cup, ISIS will likely get radar cover from a timely cyber-attack from the Syrian Electronic Army. In what appears to be radar blackout drill, 13 aircraft mysteriously disappear from radars in Europe on consecutive days in June. Although NATO stated they were not behind the unprecedented radar blackout, it was later confirmed that an electronic war-game was in fact the cause of the blackout. Needless to say, the NATO sanctioned war-game appears to be the "dry run" for a radar cyber-attack which will enable an ISIS aerial attack emanating out of the Mediterranean.
In order to highlight Syria's notorious bio-chemical weapons program just prior to a high profile ISIS bio-terror attack on the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, it was the reported on June 23, 2014, that the OPCW has stated that "All declared chemical weapons have left Syria". This development obviously does not account for the "undeclared" chemical weapons which will predictably be used by ISIS in their attack. This notion was all but confirmed by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry when he applauded Syria's chemical weapons disposal but warned that the chlorine gas threat still serious. In other words, the Syria's bio-chemical weapons have only been disposed of in theory.
9/11-Style Attack Trending
Breaking news and events in respect to the state-sponsored terrorist group known as ISIS suggests that they will be leaving Iraq for America any day now, most likely via airplane. This particular terror narrative was first identified on June 14, 2014, when ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi stated "See you in New York". A day later on June 15, 2014, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham stated that ISIS held territory in Iraq will be the next 9/11 "staging area". Less than 24-hours later on June 16, 2014, CBS News published a report entitled "Will ISIS Plan a 9/11-Style Terror Plot against the U.S.?", further foreshadowing the notion that ISIS will be executing terror attacks using planes. A week later on June 23, 2014, Zionist U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein stated in respect to ISIS that "There will be plots to kill Americans". That same day on June 23, 2014, former Vice President Dick Cheney stated that another 9/11 is coming, only "far deadlier". How these politicians in Washington, D.C. know the secret plans of terrorists in the desert of Iraq is impossible unless of course the politicians and the terrorists are being controlled by the same entity—the CIA. Lastly, on June 25, 2014, it was reported that Americans have now joined ISIS and that ISIS is trying to grab its own air force, further confirming that a 9/11-style terror attack by ISIS in the United States is the ISIS endgame.
Airport & Airplane Attacks
In what appears to be pre-July 4th terror warning, it was revealed on July 3, 2014, that the U.S. has increased airport security worldwide, following a report of increased terror threat. According to intelligence reports, Al Qaeda-linked terrorists in Syria are working with members of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to blow up a commercial aircraft headed to the U.S. or Europe. A counterterrorism official told AP that the terrorists are attempting to create a bomb that would go undetected through airport security. Also on July 3, 2014, it was reported that the U.S. has been warned of a "specific threat" of an attack on Entebbe International Airport, roughly 20 miles from 35 km from Kampala, Uganda. The U.S. embassy in Uganda stated that it was handed information by the Uganda Police Force describing a "specific threat to attack Entebbe International Airport on July 3, 2014, between the hours of 2100-2300 [1800-2000 GMT]." The U.S. embassy went on to warn of "the continued threat of potential terrorist attacks in the country." Among potential terrorist targets are "hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, shopping malls, diplomatic missions, transportation hubs, religious institutions, government offices, or public transportation". Empty terror threats are often made in respect to other countries and targets in order to set the precedent for similar terror attacks in America. This appears to be one such case.
ISIS & Soccer
In order to connect ISIS (an off-shoot of Al Qaeda) with the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil prior to a horrific bio-terror attack, it was reported on March 23, 2014, that Al-Qaeda targeted Premier League matches, a report designed to show that terrorists want to attack soccer matches. Roughly 3-momths later on June 13, 2014, it was reported that ISIS terrorists cut off a fan's head after he made a World Cup tweet, stating "This is our ball". Six days later on June 19, 2014, ISIS reportedly stormed a Saddam-era chemical weapons complex in Iraq, further confirming that a bio-terror attack is the ISIS' endgame. Three days later on June 22, 2014, it was reported that ISIS is using World Cup hashtags to promote their extremist propaganda on Twitter. Lastly, on June 23, 2014, it was revealed that ISIS terrorists have threatened a nuke attack on Israel, once again confirming that a state-sponsored WMD attack is the endgame of ISIS.
2014 World Cup Terror Trending
Prior to an unprecedented terror attack at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the world must be psychologically programmed through fraudulent headlines and fabricated events that yes, it can happen. As evidenced, World Cup-related terror is currently trending at an unprecedented level which suggests that a major state-sponsored terror attack is imminent.

FIFA Security Compromised
Although over $1.9 billion has been spent on security for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, recent events suggest that said security will be compromised, most likely by ISIS terrorists. In order to make FIFA (a Swiss-based non-profit corporation) appears weak and vulnerable to a terror attack, Zionist operative John Oliver viciously attacked FIFA during an HBO rant that went viral. Shortly thereafter on June 15, 2014, the Sunday Times published a report entitled "FIFA Ignored Own Terror Alert" which was designed to show that FIFA is incompetent and guilty of malfeasance. The notion that FIFA stadiums in Brazil lack proper security has been witnessed on multiple occasions. For example, on June 14, 2014, it was reported that Mexican fans stole beer from a stall during the Cameroon game, likely due to a lapse in security. A day later on June 15, 2014, it was reported that Ronaldo has 50 bodyguards, 2 armored vehicles and the protection of the Portuguese army, something he wouldn't need if Brazil was actually safe place. A day later on June 16, 2014, it was revealed that 30 ticketless World Cup fans forced their way past security guards and through a stadium gate before the Argentina vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina match. Two days later on June 18, 2014, it was reported that rampaging Chile fans stormed past stadium security and broke into a stadium in Rio, resulting in 85 arrests. Needless to say, these consecutive stadium security breaches have set the precedent for far deadlier security breaches which are forthcoming.
Blackwater in Brazil
Although ISIS terrorists will be featured in the 2014 FIFA World Cup terror attack, the privately funded terrorist group formerly known as Blackwater will likely be on the ground to coordinate the attacks and tie up any loose ends should things get messy. Interestingly, on April 29, 2014, it was revealed that Blackwater is providing expertise and security training for Brazilian security forces. Translation: Blackwater is in Brazil drilling various terror attack scenarios which are scheduled to take place prior to July 13, 2014. A spokesperson for the U.S. government stated that "nearly $2.2 million [was spent] in the last two years in cooperation with Brazilian police forces on security for mega-events". Interestingly, on June 18, 2014, it was revealed that a trial is revisiting the 2007 Blackwater shootings, potentially providing a timely form of black-mail if Blackwater refuses to comply with their orders. In other words, with a lawsuit hanging over their head, Blackwater brass will obey whatever orders are given to them by the CIA.
World Cup Blood Sacrifices
Similar to the foiled 2011 Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot, a number of suspicious deaths have occurred prior to the 2014 World FIFA Cup terror attack. While only conjecture, it does appear that most if not all of these deaths are Roman-like blood sacrifices. World Cup sacrifices were first identified on March 30, 2014, when it was reported that a seventh worker had died during in the construction of World Cup stadiums. By June 9, 2014, another Brazilian worker died in an "accident", bringing the death total to at least 8. Two days prior to the start of the World Cup on June 12, 2014, the nephew of Brail's coach was killed in car crash. Nine days later on June 21, 2014, the brother of Ivory Coast players Yaya and Kolo Toure suddenly died in England. Counting the 74 which already died in shootings and terror attacks, a total of at least 84 people have died surrounding the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Bio-Terror Attack Trending
Prior to a high-profile bio-terror attack at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the world must be psychologically prepared to accept that this is in fact possible. Fraudulent headlines and fabricated events are a slick way of convincing people that, yes, it can happen. As evidenced, bio-terror-related news in respect to the World Cup is currently at all-time high which suggests that a state-sponsored bio- terror attack is imminent.

July 4th Weekend Terror Alert: 9/11-Style Attacks, Airplane, Airport and Car Bombings Trending
Posted: July 3, 2014 in 9/11-Style Terror, Active Shooter Terror, Airplane Terror, Airport Terror, Breaking News, Car Bomb Terror, Holiday Terror, July 4th Terror, Parade Terror, Statue of Liberty Terror, Terror Alerts, U.S. Domestic Terror
SWITZERLAND, Zurich — Based on breaking news and events, it's highly likely that the Obama administration (at the behest of the CIA) will attempt to execute a wave of "domestic" and/or "jihad" terror attacks in America on the weekend of her 238th birthday.
Potential July 4th terror attacks include but are not limited to: 9/11-style attacks, airplane bombings, airport attacks, car bombings, parade attacks and mass shootings. Last but not least, the Statue of Liberty may also suffer a terror attack simply because it's the most iconic symbol of freedom in America.
In what appears to be a pre-terror attack statement, President Obama stated on June 29, 2014, that the U.S. has been "under serious threat" throughout his time in office, and that "There are going to be times where we take strikes against [terrorist] organizations that can do us harm". Obama's ominous words were essentially double-speak for he used the phrase "we take strikes", foreshadowing that the U.S. is about to be struck.
Obama reportedly told ABC's George Stephanopoulos, "You know, I think we have been under serious threat my entire presidency. I think we have been under serious threat pre-dating 9/11 from those who embrace this ideology". Obama invoking the 9/11 attacks was no accident; it was a premeditated statement to foreshadow the notion that a 9/11-scale terror attack is planned.
Obama went on to state that, "They're gaining strength in some places…We have seen Europeans who are sympathetic to their cause traveling into Syria and now may travel into Iraq, getting battle-hardened…They've got European passports. They don't need a visa to get into the United States". Translation: Islamic terrorists with EU passports will be traveling to the United States from Europe in order to commit terror attacks.
While terror attacks and gun-related massacres are the most likely July 4th terror scenarios, there is always the chance that the feds may target July 4th celebrations at bars, restaurants, parades and parties with military-grade explosives or so-called "accidents" (e.g., building collapse, vehicular manslaughter, gas explosions, fires, etc.).
Although July 4th weekend terror attacks could transpire in any U.S. city or state, the following 6 cities are the most likely to suffer a state-sponsored terror attack based on their national significance and terror-related history. That being said, the South has been the most targeted region as of later and therefore may suffer holiday attacks as well.
Top July 4th Terror Targets:
1. Boston, Massachusetts
2. Chicago, Illinois
3. Los Angeles, California
4. New York, New York
5. New Orleans, Louisiana
6. Washington, D.C.
July 4th Warnings
Four days prior to July 4, 2014, Freemason tool Ron Paul stated that Americans should celebrate Independence Day by opposing government tyranny. "On Independence Day we should remember the spirit of rebellion against tyranny that inspired our Founding Fathers to set out our experiment in liberty…The idea of opposing — by force if necessary — a tyrannical government has been turned into a celebration of tyrannical government itself". In other words, Paul wants Americans to use "force" come on July 4th, foreshadowing the notion that high-profile domestic terror attacks may be in play. Echoing Paul's ominous July 4th statement was Zionist operative and radio host Jim Rome who stated on his July 3, 2014, radio program to beware of "makes his own fireworks guy". Rome went on to warn that guys who make homemade explosives in their garages will be out in force this July 4th weekend. Needless to say, Rome's comments suggest that state-sponsored domestic bombings may be planned.
9/11-Style Attacks
Breaking news and events in respect to the state-sponsored terrorist group known as ISIS suggests that they will be leaving Iraq for America any day now, most likely via airplane. This particular terror narrative was first identified on June 14, 2014, when ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi stated "See you in New York". A day later on June 15, 2014, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham stated that ISIS held territory in Iraq will be the next 9/11 "staging area". Less than 24-hours later on June 16, 2014, CBS News published a report entitled "Will ISIS Plan a 9/11-Style Terror Plot against the U.S.?", further foreshadowing the notion that ISIS will be executing terror attacks using planes. A week later on June 23, 2014, Zionist U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein stated in respect to ISIS that "There will be plots to kill Americans". That same day on June 23, 2014, former Vice President Dich Cheney stated that another 9/11 is coming, only "far deadlier". How these politicians in Washington, D.C. know the secret plans of terrorists in the desert of Iraq is impossible unless of course the politicians and the terrorists are being controlled by the same entity—the CIA. Lastly, on June 25, 2014, it was reported that Americans have now joined ISIS and that ISIS is trying to grab its own air force, further confirming that a 9/11-style terror attack by ISIS in the United States is the ISIS endgame.
Back on March 19, 2014, it was revealed that Al Qaeda's magazine "Inspire" had listed America as Al-Qaeda's primary target for car bombs, specifically its cities of Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Since Al Qaeda is the primary terrorist arm of the CIA, the magazine's respective targets are in essence what the CIA is planning to attack. Roughly 2-weeks late on April 1, 2014, it was revealed that the U.S. government executed a major terror bio-terror drill involving car bombs attacks and a chemical weapons strike on Washington, D.C.'s Metro subway system. Roughly 3-weeks later on April 25, 2014, Al Qaeda car bombs killed 31 and injured 56 at a political rally. Roughly, two months later on July 1, 2014, three separate incidents took place on the same day which suggest that car bomb attacks are imminent. For example, on July 1, 2014, a food truck explosion in Philadelphia injured 10 people, a first sergeant in the Minnesota Air National Guard allegedly saved a man from a burning SUV, and a car bomb killed at least 56 in a Nigerian city. Needless to say, the precedent has been set for car bomb-related terror attacks in America, possibly this coming weekend.
Back on June 28, 2014 (last weekend), Truther.org published a report entitled "RED ALERT: Wave of Domestic Terror Attacks Planned this Weekend, June 28-29, 2014". Although no terror attacks occurred, a wave of state-sponsored shootings took place instead. Starting on June 29, 2014, a shooting took place on Bourbon Street in New Orleans that left 9 injured. That same day, at least 13 people were shot in all 5 boroughs of New York City. Lastly, on June 30, 2014, 1 person was killed and 35 were wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago. In the event that no terror attacks are executed this July 4th weekend, the feds may once again execute a wave of gun-related shootings across America.
Boston Bombing 2.0?
In what appears to be pre-terror attack logistics, it was revealed on July 2, 2014, that the annual Boston Pops July 4th concert and fireworks show was moved up a day to July 3, 2014, allegedly due to the threat of heavy rain from Tropical Storm Arthur. Massachusetts State Police Col. Timothy Alben stated that security arrangements are ready to go since the public event would have been held anyway on Thursday, July 4, 2014. The 24-hour time change is highly suspect considering that Massachusetts is not in the path of Tropical Storm Arthur. Also, the ominous statement that "security arrangements are ready to go" suggests that and attack is in play. In the aftermath of another Boston terror attack, the change in time will likely be cited as the primary reason for the breach in security.
Statue of Liberty Attack?
The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. It is arguably the most famous landmark in the United States, making it a very lucrative terror target. Back on October 26, 2012, it was reported that the Statue of Liberty will reopen on the 126th anniversary of its dedication after a year-long renovation project. According to reports, the $30 million renovation improved fire alarms, sprinkler systems and exit routes to bring Lady Liberty in line with New York City safety codes. Five months later on March 19, 2013, it was reported that the Statue of Liberty was rescheduled to reopen by Independence Day, July 4, 2013, about 8 months after it was inexplicably closed because of Superstorm Sandy. Whether the "renovation" ultimately undermined the structural integrity of iconic statue is not known, but the timely construction project could have provided the necessary cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around the Statue of Liberty. Said explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a coordinated terrorist attack.
History of Parade Terror
Prior to a high-profile parade-related terror attack on July 4th weekend, the public must be psychologically prepared to accept that this is in fact possible. Hollywood movie propaganda is a slick way of showing that yes, it can happen. "Parade Attack" (2002) is a track on the soundtrack of the film entitled "Spider-Man" (2002) which was released on June 4, 2002. Since 2012, there have been over 10 reports of parade terror, including two high-profile incidents in the South which include a train attack on a veteran's parade in Midland, Texas on November 16, 2012, and the Mother's Day parade massacre which occurred in New Orleans on May 16, 2013. Taken collectively, these events suggest that a state-sponsored terror attack on a parade is imminent.

IED Attacks
Back on April 24, 2014, an Indianapolis, Indiana news station revealed that "exploding targets" are causing explosions across the country and have raised concerns for the Indianapolis Metro Police Department, FBI, and the ATF. Exploding targets are such a threat that the FBI issued an intelligence bulletin to law enforcement agencies warning that exploding targets could be used by criminals and terrorists to make improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Exploding targets are currently sold under a variety of brand names, the most popular being Tannerite. In theory, exploding targets are supposed to be used by gun owners to ensure that they've hit their respective long-range targets. The timely report states that the exploding targets are "readily available and easy for people of all ages to buy off store shelves in Indiana". Predictably, the state of Indiana has no restrictions and therefore anyone 18 or older can purchase them. "It creates a public safety concern," said Kirk Dennis, ATF special agent bomb technician. "People don't realize the risk. If you put them in a container for something other than intended for, there can be tragic consequences". Exploding targets could theoretically be used in car bombings and/or suicide bombings within the U.S., possibly this July 4th weekend.
July 4, 2013: False-Flag Terror Threat Assessment: Mumbai Style Terror; Lashkar-e-Taiba Attacks; Fire Bombing Of Washington D.C.; Kokesh March And Massacre Now Trending
Posted: July 3, 2013 in July 4th Terror, Live TV Terror, Texas Terror, U.S. Landmark Terror, Washington D.C. Terror
UDATE: Within hours of the following Truther.org terror warning being published, Adam Kokesh canceled his armed March on Washington D.C.
SWITZERLAND, Zürich — On July 4, 2013, America's collective attention will be focused on Washington D.C., and therefore it's the perfect time to execute a major false-flag/state-sponsored terror attack in order to destroy the image of America abroad and incite riots and civil war at home.
Knowing this, Truther.org has researched, identified and exposed at least 5 respective terror plots specifically targeting the 4th of July holiday (i.e., the "African White House Down" Terror Scenario, the "Chinese "Live TV" Cyber-Hijack With "Live" Nuclear Detonation", the "NYC Subway Bio-Terror Attack", and the "Statue of Liberty Attack"). However, this does not necessarily mean that the real terrorists don't have a 6th or 7th terror attack in their arsenal which would ultimately guarantee them a strike.
Consequently, the rabid Zionist establishment behind the Obama administration has at least been forced to go to "Plan G" which apparently involves firebombing Washington D.C. This attack, should it happen, will start on July 4, 2013 and likely last for days. In the end, it will be scapegoated on anti-Obama gun owners attending the armed Adam Kokesh march in Washington D.C. on the 4th or the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group from Pakistan.
The July 4 attacks are set to mirror the Mumbai style terror attacks in which multiple locations throughout the city were attacked simultaneously for 4 days while the attack was broadcast on "Live TV". As with the Mumbai attacks, an attack on America will be conducted by Israeli Special Forces who coincidentally just finished up a Mumbai style terror drill at the end of June which targeted hotels and Jewish centers, just as the Mumbai attack did. Late on July 3, 2013, Israel issued a vague Fourth of July terror alert for U.S. in order to cover their ass in the aftermath of Israeli Mossad terror attacks upon America.
Interestingly, on August 24, 2013, America will mark the 199th anniversary of when the British burned down Washington D.C., including the White House and U.S. Capitol building. A repeat of this type of attack America's capital would be eerily reminiscent of the infamous Reichstag Fire which occurred on February 27, 1933, when Adolf Hitler burned down the German parliament building and blamed it on "Communist" decenters.
With Washington D.C. on fire, Zionist media operatives throughout America will no doubt call upon the American people to take up arms against the Obama administration who will be predictably likened to Hitler. Based on the collective terror related data and the Mumbai Terror Attacks, a combination of 9/11 style aerial attacks, active shooters, bio-terror attacks, fire-bombings, kidnappings and suicide terror attacks are the most likely terror scenarios.
Riot Like an Egyptian
The organized and provocateured riots transpiring right now in Egypt are meant to serve as a visual example for Americans to follow come 4th of July. The U.S. military reportedly sent 400 riot provocateuring troops to Egypt roughly a week ago to ensure that riots, looting and death did in fact take place as well, as well as a possible coup d'état. The burning of the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo on July 1, 2013, is yet another ominous sign that firebombing of Washington D.C. may soon come to fruition. As of July 3, 2013, the Egyptian Army reportedly ousted President Morsi and suspended constitution, ultimately providing even more incentive for Americans to take the bait and take to the streets.
Alex Jones is "Training"
In the aftermath of attacks on Washington D.C. or anywhere else in the country, nationally syndicated radio host and alleged STRATFOR agent Alex Jones will do what he has paid to do; provocateur violence with the goal of starting a civil war in America. Interestingly, on the June 28, 2013, episode of the Alex Jones Show, Jones was interrupted on the air by group of men talking in the background which was overheard on the air. In response, Jones quipped, "We are just doing some "training" in there". What exactly Jones is training for is unknown, but provocateured violence on the 4th of July is the most likely scenario.
Kokesh's Armed March
Zionist operative and former U.S. Marine Adam Kokesh, who allegedly works for Obama's "Revolution Czar", is holding an armed protest in Washington D.C. on July 4, 2013. Kokesh, who openly admits that there is a "chance that there will be violence", is likely part of a larger terror operation whose goal is to provocateur violence in Washington D.C. with the hope that it spreads like a pandemic throughout the United States. The armed march is scheduled to take place from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM (EST) on Thursday, July 4, 2013, in Washington D.C. and other U.S. state capitol buildings throughout the United States.
Kokesh's Manifesto
According to Kokesh's Facebook page entitled, "The Final American Revolution", out of a total of 101,102 people who were invited to the armed protest, 6,366 are "going" and 5,148 pare "maybe going". The page also states Kokesh's manifesto which reads in part: "A new American revolution is long overdue. This revolution has been brewing in the hearts and minds of the people for many years, but this Independence Day, it shall take a new form as the American Revolutionary Army will march on each state capital…Should one whole year pass from this July 4th while the crimes of this government are allowed to continue, we may have passed the point at which non-violent revolution becomes impossible…While there is risk in drastic action, the greater danger lies in allowing this government to continue unchallenged. So if you are content with the status quo, stay home, get fat, watch the fireworks from a safe distance, and allow this Independence Day to pass like any other. But if you see as we see, and feel as we feel, we will see you on the front lines of freedom on July 4th 2013 for this: The Final American Revolution."
July 4th—Washington D.C. Attack Propaganda
Prior to a high-profile July 4 attack on Washington D.C., the American public must be psychologically prepared to accept that this is in fact possible. Hollywood movie propaganda is a slick way of showing that yes, it can happen. On March 22, 2013, a propaganda film entitled "Olympus Has Fallen" (2013) was released (see trailer) in which Washington D.C., was brutally attacked by an ex-North Korean terrorist on the day after the 4th of July. The movie was clear to depict classic Independence Day symbology such as red, white and blue banners, balloons and ribbons. Roughly 3 months later on June 28th, 2013, the film "White House Down" (2013), (see trailer) was released in which Washington D.C., namely the White House and the Washington Monument, were viciously attacked. Coincidentally, on May 2, 2013, it was reported that the alleged Boston Bombers had initially planned a July 4th attack, giving further credence to the notion that this date has been chosen for terror by the intelligence community. A couple months later on June 28th, 2013, ABC News ran a headline which stated "Feds Worry About July 4 Fireworks Bombs", the key words in the headline being "July 4" and "Bombs". According to the report, the FBI vocalized paramount concern about July 4, 2013, because masses of revelers are expected to pack city centers and other locations which could be an "an opportunity to perpetuate a mass casualty attack".
I. TERROR DRILLS:
1.1: The Terror Drills
Based on the following 4 terror drills, it's clear that terror is definitely planned for America's 237th birthday. It's imperative to remember that the main reason "anti-terror drills" are routinely conducted by men in black ski masks is to hide their nationality. For example, Israeli Mossad members could practice a terror attack in Israel for an upcoming real-life terror attack in Washington D.C. without ever being identified or drawing attention to themselves. By hiding their given nationality, the real terrorists can practice their terror attacks openly around the world without ever being identified.
1.2: "Operation Independence"
What exactly will happen on July 4, 2013, is still unknown, but on July 3, 2013, it was reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is planning "one of its biggest drills and deployments of the year to coincide with the Fourth of July". According to the report, "amongst the crowds…there are the agents you don't see. Working undercover…The details of "Operation Independence" are top secret and that's the way it should be. Only they need to know what the game plan is, like how many officers are here and how they'll respond to a real threat. The enemy knows too much already".
1.3: Israeli Terror Drill
If a false-flag "coup d'état" occurs in Washington D.C. on July 4, 2013 or any other date, it highly likely that U.S. Senators and U.S. Reps will be "kidnapped" and held for ransom, similarly to what is going on in Egypt right now. Coincidentally, on June 23, 2013, roughly 10 days prior to July 4, 2013, a massive terror drill was executed by the Israeli military's Special Forces who practiced taking control of civilian buildings, including the dining room of a hotel and holding dozens of 'kidnapped' civilians. According to the IDF, the exercise included dozens of civilian 'fatalities' and around 10 soldiers were 'killed' during the operation. When this terror scenario will manifest itself in reality is unknown, but on 9/11, members of the Israeli Mossad attacked America and therefore it should not be surprising if history repeats itself.
1.4: Washington D.C. NORAD Terror Drills
In the last year, NORAD has executed at least 2 terror drills in which a wayward plane threatened Washington D.C. On August 20, 2012, it was reported that the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard flew an "intercept and identification" exercise entitled "Falcon Virgo" over Washington D.C. as part of efforts to prevent suicide aircraft attacks or other threats to the U.S. capital. 10 months later, the same exact drill was once again executed on Washington D.C. According to a June 17, 2013, report by the U.S. Department of Defense, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) conducted the terror exercise Falcon Virgo 13-09 on June 19, 2013, in the National Capital Region of Washington, D.C. According to the report, the counterterror exercise was comprised of a series of training flights held in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Capital Region Coordination Center, the Joint Air Defense Operations Center (JADOC), Civil Air Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard and CONR's Eastern Air Defense Sector. The stated goal of Falcon Virgo 13-09 was to conduct "intercept and identification operations" as well as "operationally test the NCR Visual Warning System".
II. PAKISTAN:
2.1: Pakistan Terror Threat
Pakistan, whether they know it or not, has been linked to almost every single major terror attack against the West over the last 20 years, including the foiled Super Bowl XLV terror plot. The Pakistani Government, its ISI, Osama bin Laden and various terrorists groups within Pakistan have allegedly plotted, financed, and executed numerous terror attacks. If Western reports are to be believed, Pakistan has committed almost every single major act of nuclear proliferation as well as almost every single act of terrorism in the world, including the Mumbai terror attacks. As to be expected, the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba was implicated in the November 26, 2008 attacks, despite the fact that David Headly, an American CIA agent, who scouted out the entire terror operation.
2.2: Fire Terrorism
In what appears to be the set-up for Pakistani based terror attacks against the U.S., on June 12, 2013, it was reported that counterterrorism experts worry about fire being used as a weapon because it is easily attainable and very destructive. In his statement before the House Homeland Security Committee's subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence, Joseph Pfeifer, chief of counterterrorism and emergency preparedness at the NYPD, stated that, "The recognition of terrorists' interest in the use of fire as a weapon and the resulting complexities are important considerations for all first responders and security forces…Fire as a weapon, by itself or along with other tactics, presents significant challenges that first responders and security forces must contend with in planning, preparation and drills". The congressional hearing "focused on the potential of an attack on the United States by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a Pakistani terrorist organization". According to the report, "There is a lack of training and knowledge about potential "Mumbai-style" terrorist attacks on the homeland" and that "While the LeT continues to train and cultivate new terrorists, these groups and individuals no longer need extensive training".
2.3: Subcommittee Hearing: Mumbai-Style Attacks And Lashkar-e-Taiba
At the aforementioned U.S. Congressional hearing on June 12, 2013, Congressman Peter King, Chairman, Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, stated that Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operates terror networks that "span across South Asia and the Persian Gulf into Europe, especially Britain, as well as Canada and New Zealand" and that "The LeT is a terror proxy of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, which provides the LeT with a safe haven and funding to train and prepare for terrorist attacks". King also stated that "LeT's reach is broad and goes abroad. In addition to the 2009 plot in Denmark, LeT supported a planned 2002 attack on Australia by means of a trainer sent from France" and that "The LeT actively recruits Westerners, maintains social media sites in colloquial American English and has since the 1990s sustained support cells here in the United States". King concluded by stating that, "LeT members were arrested in the homeland as recently as 2011 when Jubair Ahmad was arrested in Woodbridge, Virginia. Eleven LeT members previously have been arrested in Virginia back in 2003. Suspected LeT operatives are reported to have surveilled several identified potential terror targets in this country".

III. WASHINGTON D.C.:
3.1: Washington D.C. (District of Columbia)
The city of Washington, D.C., formally known as the "District of Columbia", is the current capital of the United States and therefore makes it a lucrative false-flag/state-sponsored terror target. Interestingly, almost every major landmark (i.e., the National Mall, the Pentagon, the U,S. Capitol Building, the Supreme Court Building, the Washington Monument, and White House), have recently been "under construction" and therefore are subject to demolition at a future date. On October 26, 2012, it was reported that historical American artifacts were stolen from the U.S. National Archives in Washington D.C., including the Wright Brothers airplane patent, the bombing maps for the nuclear attack on Japan, and photos allegedly taken by astronauts while on the moon. The shocking news was then complemented by reports that Washington D.C.'s Pennsylvania Avenue, also known as "America's Main Street," was now being listed among the nation's endangered landscapes because of neglect and deferred maintenance, despite the fact that almost every major historical building, landmark or monument in Washington D.C. has either recently undergone renovation or is still currently under construction. The notion that Washington D.C. is doomed is corroborated by recent government terror drills which are preparing the capital for future acts of terror. On February 22, 2012, it was reported that a new security project to lock down gateways to the U.S. Capitol is being planned, aimed at targeting gang assaults and lone wolf attackers. According to the report, officials are warning lawmakers and Capitol security against a developing type of assault called a "blended attack" that combines a physical attack against a target along with a cyber-attack against the same or different targets.
3.2: National Mall (Washington D.C.)
The National Mall is an open-area national park in downtown Washington, D.C., and therefore is a false-flag/state-sponsored terror target, especially when it's full of people protesting the Obama administration. On September 1, 2012, it was reported that construction workers had finally taken down the construction fence which had marred the view of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool for nearly two years. According to the report, the renovation costing $34 million gave the pool a new steel reinforced foundation as well as a new filtration system that pumps water from the Potomac Tidal Basin. Whether or not the "renovation" job will ultimately undermine the structural integrity of the historic Washington D.C. landmarks is not known, but the timely construction project could have theoretically provided cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around the National Mall. These explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a "natural disaster" event or a coordinated terrorist attack. Is an apparent ominous sign of things to come, on April 11, 2013, it was reported that a body a man was pulled from the Potomac River near the Roosevelt Memorial. According to the report, this was the second time within a week a body has been discovered in National Mall area. These random deaths serve as a psychological splinter in the minds of the public for future reference in the aftermath of terror related attacks against American landmarks.
3.3: Pentagon (Arlington County, Virginia
The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, located in Arlington County, Virginia. Just prior to the 9/11 terror attacks, the Pentagon suspiciously underwent a renovation project in the exact location where it was later attacked. The ongoing renovation project is called "The Pentagon Renovation Project" and it was initiated in the 1990's, but was only concluded in June of 2011. Whether or not the "renovation" job will ultimately undermine the structural integrity of the Pentagon is not known, but the timely construction project could have theoretically provided cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around The Pentagon. These explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a "natural disaster" event or a coordinated terrorist attack. On September 28, 2011, it was reported that a Massachusetts man with a degree in physics was arrested for plotting to blow up the Pentagon with homemade drones. According to the report, Rezwan Ferdaus planned to fill two remote-controlled model airplanes with C-4 explosives and hand grenades and direct them into the iconic Washington buildings.
3.4: U.S. Capitol Building (Washington D.C.)
The United States Capitol is the meeting place of the United States Congress, the legislature of the federal government of the United States, and is located atop Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. On June 14, 2012, it was reported that the U.S. Capitol dome will undergo its first major face-lift in more than 50 years, costing $19 million in repairs to the lower portion of the dome. According to the American Institute of Architects, American Society of Civil Engineers and other groups, "The U.S. Capitol is not merely Congress' work space; it is also an attraction for millions of visitors from around the world…and a potential target for those who wish to do us harm". Whether or not the "facelift" job will ultimately undermine the structural integrity of iconic dome is not known, but the timely construction project could have theoretically provided cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around the United States Capitol. These explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a "natural disaster" event or a coordinated terrorist attack. On September 28, 2011, it was reported that a Massachusetts man with a degree in physics was arrested for plotting to blow up the US Capitol with homemade drones. According to the report, Rezwan Ferdaus planned to fill two remote-controlled model airplanes with C-4 explosives and hand grenades and direct them into the iconic Washington buildings. Three months later on December 5, 2011, it was reported that the Israeli Knesset and Jerusalem anti-terror police conducted a terror exercise in which a plane crashes into the Knesset, Israel's congressional building. According to the report, the drill simulated a crashed plane containing "dangerous materials" so it was necessary for Israeli security officers to wear "protective clothing for radiation and biological contamination". This drill is significance because the U.S. Capitol was first targeted for terror by an Israeli suicide bomber in 1998. Roughly 8 months later on August 20, 2012, it was reported that the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard flew an "intercept and identification" exercises entitled "Falcon Virgo" over Washington D.C. as part of efforts to prevent suicide aircraft attacks or other threats to the U.S. capital. 10 months later on June 19, 2013, another NORAD executed Falcon Virgo 13-09, on June 18 through June 19, 2013, in the National Capital Region, Washington, D.C. Four months prior on February 17, 2013, it was reported that authorities had arrested and charged a Virginia man on his way to what he thought would be a suicide attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to the report, Amine El Khalifi allegedly expressed interest in conducting a suicide attack and was subsequently charged in U.S. District Court with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Roughly two months later on April 8, 2013, it was reported that a Florida man is under arrest after police say he brought unregistered guns and ammunition onto the grounds of the U.S. Capitol Building.
3.5: U.S. Supreme Court (Washington D.C.)
The Supreme Court Building is the seat of the Supreme Court of the United States and is situated in Washington, D.C. On May 22, 2012, it was reported that the U.S. Supreme Court is getting a "facelift" and that workers have now started a two-year Supreme Court renovation project on the building's marble facade. According to the report, the decision for the 2012 renovation was due to a November 2005 incident, in which 80 pounds of marble fell from the Authority figure of Robert Aitken's sculpture of "Liberty Enthroned. Why the U.S. government waited 7 years to allegedly repair one of its most precious landmarks is highly suspicious. Whether or not the "facelift" job will ultimately undermine the structural integrity of iconic structure not known, but the timely construction project could have theoretically provided cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around the Supreme Court Building. These explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a "natural disaster" event or a coordinated terrorist attack.
3.6: Washington Monument (Washington D.C.)
The Washington Monument is an obelisk on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., built to commemorate George Washington, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and the first American president. On August 24, 2011, it was reported that due to an earthquake, the Washington Monument had suffered a crack near the pyramid-shaped tip and had monument been permanently tilted. Although this report was later denied by officials, the Washington Monument is currently closed due to construction and is not scheduled to re-open until 2014. Whether or not the "repair" job will ultimately undermine the structural integrity of the historic American landmark is not known, but the timely construction project could have theoretically provided cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around the Washington Monument. These explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a "natural disaster" event or a coordinated terrorist attack.
3.7: White House (Washington D.C.)
The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States, and therefore it is a lucrative false-flag/state-sponsored terror target. On September 12, 2012, it was reported that after nearly two years and $86 million worth of construction, the West Wing of the Obama White House has emerged from its visual seclusion "remarkably unchanged". According to the report, the construction project began in September of 2010 with the excavation of a huge multistory pit in front of the West Wing. Whether or not the "construction" job will ultimately undermine the structural integrity of America's most famous residence is not known, but the timely construction project could have theoretically provided cover for the installation of demolition explosives in and around the White House. These explosives could then be detonated via remote control at a future date in a calculated attempt to give the appearance of a "natural disaster" event or a coordinated terrorist attack. Aside from its suspicious construction, the White House has been the target of a number of high-profile terror plots and threats. On January 18, 2012, it was reported that an Occupy Wall Street protester threw a smoke bomb over the fence of the White House. Two months later on March 8, 2012, it was reported that a top hacker and committed anarchist who worked closely with the LulzSec, openly spoke of burning down the White House. Six months later on September 30, 2012, it was reported that the White House was attacked by hackers allegedly linked to China's government. The unprecedented cyber-terror attack targeted the U.S. government's most sensitive computer networks, ultimately breaching a system used by the White House Military Office for nuclear commands. A month later on October 21, 2012, it was reported that a year-long investigation by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has found that scores of known radical Islamists made hundreds of visits to the Obama White House, meeting with top administration officials.
IV. CONCLUSION:
4.1 Zionist Endgame
The main goal of the Zionist establishment is to get America to destroy herself the same way that Russia was destroyed under Stalin. This is done by dividing and then collapse society upon itself by baiting the gun-owning American public into a violent revolution against their own police and military while the real terrorists sit off-shore and pull the strings. In the aftermath of major U.S. terror attacks, Zionist operatives such as Alex Jones, Michael Savage, Adam Kokesh and Glenn Beck will attempt to bait gun-owning Americans into taking up arms against the Obama administration and the U.S. government.
4.2: Information is the Answer
Remember, violence of any kind MUST be avoided at all costs for it plays right into their hand. The only way to defeat the Obama administration and the Zionists is with information. By educating yourself and those around you, America and the world will see once and for all who is behind the Obama administration, fascism, and who is really pulling the strings of terrorism. Information kills terrorism and dictators, so speak up and speak out before it's too late.
David Chase Taylor, the editor-in-chief of Truther.org, is an American journalist living in Zürich, Switzerland where he has applied for political asylum since the release of The Nuclear Bible, a book credited with subverting a false-flag/state-sponsored nuclear terror attack upon America in Dallas, Texas on February 6, 2011. Taylor has since released The Bio-Terror Bible, a website exposing the coming global bio-terror pandemic likely planned for 2013. Taylor has also exposed numerous terror plots including the 2012 DNC Terror Plot, the "Twilight" Premier Terror Plot, as well as Alex Jones' links to STRATFOR.
Truther.org's stated purpose is to prevent terror attacks by drawing unwanted global attention to these terror plots prior to their fruition. Terror related assertions, forecasts and predictions made by Truther.org DO NOT necessarily imply that these terror events will transpire in reality but rather that there is a distinct possibility they could theoretically happen based on the cumulative terror related data. Historically, once a major false-flag terror plot is exposed (e.g., the Super Bowl Nuclear Terror Plot), the terror plot is immediately canceled or postponed. State-sponsored acts of terror must have a prior paper trail in order to set-up patsies, prime scapegoats, create plausible deniability, as well as mislead the public from the true perpetrators of terror. By first identifying and then connecting the dots of the terror related paper trail, Truther.org has successfully blown the whistle on numerous terror related plots. Please spread the word in helping make terrorism a thing of the past. Namaste.

Source feedback survey
Feeling cagey about 'Luke Cage'
Gavin Gaddis, Staff Writer|October 7, 2016
Marvel's newest series based on an existing hero is here, and it unfortunately picks up the same gloomy attitude of its predecessors "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones."
The pilot episode of "Luke Cage" opens with the titular Cage, a bulletproof man with superhuman strength trying to rebuild his life as a convict in Harlem. Mr. Cage makes a living washing dishes and sweeping floors off the books for various businesses, doing his best to right the wrongs of Harlem in his free time.
The episode then promptly forgets about Cage and spends a good chunk of its run-time establishing the district of New York City in which Cage lives, only allowing him back for the occasional cameo or line to remind viewers whose name is on the show.
The Harlem of "Cage" isn't portrayed as either the Disney-fied clean and perfect neighborhood or forgotten slum one usually sees on film and television. It's a neighborhood in which realistic, breathing characters live in.
From a technical and stylistic standpoint "Luke Cage" is an absolute treat to watch. Hip hop and its surrounding culture aren't just present in the music, it is woven into the fabric of reality. This manifests both in subtle camera tricks and clever writing, and through outright references (such as a scene in which the bad guy delivers a monologue about a picture of Biggie Smalls).
World-building and tone are the strong suits of "Luke Cage," which is usually a weak point in superhero-focused entertainment.
That makes this review quite difficult to write, because I genuinely cannot be bothered to watch more than the pilot episode.
In an interesting move, it seems Marvel is trying to strip their usual love of goofy, colorful stories for a brooding, darker type of story that one would expect from a DC comic.
Yes, there are a lot of interesting things happening in "Luke Cage" that feel like they're pulled from a crime drama, but I have a hard time giving a damn about a weapons dealer getting blown away when all I can think is "Hey, that gun was manufactured by that incredibly stupid character played by Sam Rockwell in 'Iron Man 2'."
In the past months I've taken quite a lot of flack for this viewpoint on the gritty Marvel Netflix universe, but it's hard to discount the movies when the shows do their darndest to remind you of them.
Within the opening half hour of "Cage" the titular character walks past a guy selling Blu-ray compilations of home videos taken during "The Incident," a recurring name for the alien attack on New York City that served as the climax to "The Avengers."
Now from a New York perspective I could see this being a nod towards those profiting off home footage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but when the seller is dropping hero names left and right all I can think of is how ridiculous they look set against the all too real problems of Harlem.
"Luke Cage" is a well-made show, without a doubt. If one were to delete Cage's affiliation with the Marvel cinematic universe, it might even be one of the better pilots I've ever seen.
