Chuck Baldwin, crime, Hillary Clinton

I probably should include Dr. Baldwin on my short list. For some reason I forget to check in with him as much as I should. However, when I do, he does not disappoint. Like today:

Should Clinton be elected President, every corrupt, criminal, political mobster in the world would be given access to the White House. Some of Clinton’s most ardent supporters are already making jokes about her association with criminal conduct. For example, Michael Moore recently said that if Hillary murdered Vince Foster (former Deputy White House Counsel under Bill Clinton), it merely means she is a “Bad-A**.” Bill Maher recently said that he didn’t care if Hillary had JonBenét Ramsey (a murdered little girl whose killer has never been found) in her basement. Clinton will fill her administration with people who think like this.

Hillary Clinton’s candidacy for President is the overt attempt of the world’s most evil elite to put one of their very own in the most powerful political office on earth.

Hillary Clinton is a person without conscience. She is a cold-blooded, ruthless, corrupt international criminal. Hillary Clinton is to America what the Pharisees were to Israel. And I’m afraid that if she is given the White House, the crimes and corruption of this country will finally catch up to this generation, just as surely as the crimes and corruption of the Pharisees finally caught up to that generation.

A Hillary Clinton presidency could literally plunge America and the world into another Dark Ages. No one can be ready for the evil that will come upon the world if Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States.

AZ Quotes.

Of course, this may be a moot issue now. Rumors swirl about the Swamp and Gotham this morning. Wikileaks, Anonymous, and the FBI may be about to move in hard. I have calls out to some LEO and intel sources but have not heard back yet. Could be an interesting weekend.

The New York Times Admits The Failures Of Gun Control

America, crime, firearms, gun control, law, murder, New York Times, Second Amendment

This one must have been hard for them to write but Sharon LaFraniere and Emily Palmer did it anyway. The Times examined (pretty extensively) 130 shooting from 2015, all of which involved four or more victims. They found:

Still, an examination of high-casualty shootings emphasizes not only how porous existing firearms regulations are, but also how difficult tightening them in a meaningful way may be.

The New York Times examined all 130 shootings last year in which four or more people were shot, at least one fatally, and investigators identified at least one attacker. The cases range from drug-related shootouts to domestic killings that wiped out entire families to chance encounters that took harrowing wrong turns.

They afford a panoramic view of some of the gun control debate’s fundamental issues: whether background checks and curbs on assault weapons limit violence; whether the proliferation of open-carry practices and rules allowing guns on college campuses is a spark to violence; whether it is too easy for dangerously mentally ill or violent people to get guns.

The findings are dispiriting to anyone hoping for simple legislative fixes to gun violence. In more than half the 130 cases, at least one assailant was already barred by federal law from having a weapon, usually because of a felony conviction, but nonetheless acquired a gun. Including those who lacked the required state or local permits, 64 percent of the shootings involved at least one attacker who violated an existing gun law.

Of the remaining assailants, 40 percent had never had a serious run-in with the law and probably could have bought a gun even in states with the strictest firearm controls. Typically those were men who killed their families and then themselves.

Only 14 shootings involved assault rifles, illustrating their outsize role in the gun debate. Nearly every other assailant used a handgun. That is in line with a federal study that concluded that reviving a 1994 ban on assault weapons and ammunition feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds would have a minimal impact, at best, on gun violence.

No, you can’t legislate morality. Every murder and violent crime in 2015 occurred in a jurisdiction that explicitly bans murder and violent crime. That people prone to violate these long-standing, somewhat universal laws also violate existing gun control laws is not unexpected. They would violate any such laws. And, even if the Second Amendment was undone and all guns were magically spirited away, these criminals would find other weapons. ISIS has made a study of that alternative choosing.

The writers ended the piece with the worn “wild west” analogy for increased armed vigilance against crime; they quoted the father of a victim: “he shudders to think what would have happened had other [would be victims] been armed that night. ‘Are you kidding me?’ he said. ‘It would have been like the O.K. Corral.'”

That man was understandably distressed. But his logic doesn’t hold. Herein lies the weakness in this otherwise good Times story. It’s the same weakness that plagues all liberal attempts to either ban what is already banned or to make sense of any shooting scenario. They simply cannot see any other parts of the equation except for victims and criminals. They completely overlook armed non-victims who fight back with success.

2ndamendmentgw

And then there’s protection against institutional criminality. Divine Freedom Radio.

Some of the same people who push gun control to keep us safe from guns push(ed) air bags to keep us safe from auto accidents. Both positions are somewhat comprehensible even if they disallow free choices. Air bags kill a certain number of people every year. However, they save many more lives than they take. It is the exact same thing with guns. Twenty thousand or so deaths are attributable to guns each year via homicides, suicides and accidents. Yet guns save a million or more lives every year.

I haven’t run the numbers but it strikes me that the guns / airbags death ratios may be very close percentage wise. Yet the while the liberals promoted and mandated the bags they fight against the guns. Something in the logic fails to make sense. Hoplophobia explains perhaps.

Societies have attempted to legislate murder away for as long as societies have existed. The fact that most people do not commit murder speaks less to the laws than to the fact that most people are not murders. Still, as they say, complete morality cannot be legislated. Thus, the rest of us, who are morally responsible, must take precautions against those who are not. Today, in America, precaution looks a lot like a gun.

Et Tu Refugees?

Brussels, Colorado, crime, ISIS, terrorism, The West

Probably. Why not. ISIS has called on its many and evil operatives across the West to start stabbing non-muslims. Stab them in parks, offices, malls, alleys, trails, sporting events, etc. Stab wherever and whenever the circumstances are right.

The call has already been heeded. “Hicham D.”, probably a newly arrived guest seeking relief from war and a better life in Europe and all, stabbed two police officers in Brussels. He was shot and arrested by another officer. If there is one thing to learn from this and the recent bombings and other attacks, it is that the Netherlands and Europe need more non-Christian, non-European refugees. Wonderful people. Productive. Vibrant.

Brussels also saw a potential bombing, excuse me – another bombing, at a train station. That turned out to be a hoax. Who doesn’t enjoy a good hoax? And all the refugee-related fun activity gives rise to fun, banana republic-looking scenes like this:

train-station-evacuated-after-bomb-alert-brussels-belgium-05-oct-2016

Mirror, UK.

Soldiers and attack dogs in the streets lend a carnival-esque atmosphere, no?

In possibly related news, police at the University of Colorado shot and killed a man wielding a machete at the school’s stadium complex. He is (initially) described as a white man “looking for sinners” and uttering religious ramblings.

This could well be a case of that domestic terrorism Hussein Obama is always worried about. Time to ban guns. Then again, the media frequently misapplies labels like “white” or “hispanic” to obscure the true nature of attackers. Maybe this was a “white” muslim recently admitted from Somalia or Pakistan. Such refugees often visit public places, armed and violent, and looking for sinners. Allah hates sinners, you know.

If this was an actual white American on some personal crusade, then that would raise some interesting questions. Is a machete a book? Should whites loot and burn Boulder tonight? Despite this being a white man, bothering other white people, in a white city, shot by a white police officer, should his “brother” go on TV and proclaim all Indians “f*cking devils”? Will Hussein talk about the fears white men feel while wieldin..er..reading books? It’s a strange world. We need strange questions.

With our societies gone utterly mad and our “leaders” gone over to Satan, the people must begin to look out for themselves. Watch your six. If you witness anyone – white, black, muslim, tall, or anything else descriptive term – who is swinging a weapon while shouting anything, just shoot them. Don’t worry, the globalist will go out and recruit some more.

Get With It, Julian

America, corruption, crime, election, government, GQBM, Hillary Clinton, The People, War, Wikileaks

Today was going to be the big day. I suppose it was in a way. Julian Assange stated Wikileaks will release about a million documents concerning rampant U.S. corruption between now and November’s Black Mass election show. Still, I was hoping for concrete information this morning. The waiting game…

But first, I made an error a few days ago. I posted a meme about the possible assassination of Assange:

nimbus-image-1475452355711

This was wrong and I apologize. Based on what we know, about the previous assassination of Assange as proposed by Hillary Clinton, a more accurate meme would be:

nimbus-image-1475579497026

Drones, yes. Sorry about that.

Anyway, the information is coming. It looks to be a multi-faceted expose:

  • Systemic corruption in U.S. electoral process;
  • Spying on America citizens, to include efforts by Google and other companies;
  • Wars, wars, and more wars – for profit;
  • Collusion between three countries (the U.S., the U.K., and guess who) to create terror, war, turmoil, and resulting profits;
  • As part of the collusion, arms dealing with ISIS (specifically by a current presidential candidate); and
  • Destroying nations in order to enrich banksters – the evidence of this concerning Libya has been public for a few years now.

All of this will come out eventually. Some think it will sway the election. I thought so but now I’m not so sure. I’m not sure any of it will really matter to the people. There’s probably going to be reason to indict and arrest certain persons but is that what people want. Is anyone interested in justice any more?

Consider what Wikileaks has told us already. Look at the timeline of Wiki releases over the past 10 years (pages 7 – 8). Look at the U.S. concerned releases this year alone. The fact that Hillary Clinton is running for president and that Americans still want to support their corrupt government at all is evidence that they really don’t care about the truth or justice.

The good news, today, is that Julian did avoid a Predator strike. The rest will wait.

Fred Offers Uncomfortable Truths and Unpopular Choices

America, civilization, crime, Fred Reed, race, society, terrorism, violence

I love Fred Reed. I mentioned, a while back, my admiration for James Altucher and Vox Day. I should have included Fred in that company, so I do so, now. Read his weekly articles at Fred On Everything.

Fred lives in the hills somewhere around Guadalajara and/or Lago de Chapala. His geography, wit, and previous experience allow him ample firepower to tackle the pressing issues of our late day.

This week he, again, delves deep into the uncomfortable cesspool of the American underbelly (or greater society as it’s also known). His thoughts center on the late madness in Charlotte and associated pathology.

…

And they attack whites. It doesn’t matter to them who did what to whom. An African cop in an African city with an African police chief shoots an African criminal, and the rioters attack whites. In Milwaukee a black cop shot a black criminal and the tribesmen called for burning white suburbs. We seeing an episodic, one-sided–so far–race war. We will not admit it as then we would have to do something about it, and we do not know what.

…

It is coming. One day rioting blacks will try to loot the wrong store, burn the wrong house, beat the wrong white man, and hell will cut loose. Talking about law-abiding blacks, law-abiding whites, will make no difference at all. There were law-abiding Protestants, law-abiding Catholics in Ireland. Did that stop the violence?

Three solutions, or ameliorations, offer themselves: Repression of rioting and enforcement of the law. Segregation. And having it go on forever or blow up hugely. Choose. Refusal to choose selects option three.

Nobody is talking about this issue. At least not honestly talking. There’s some chanting. A little looting. Rioting, burning, maiming, murdering, beating and robbing – but no talking. No thinking. Consider, if you can get away from the TeeVee long enough his three choices. We’re on a default collision course with the third.

Independent Journal Review

This is the same sort of debacle Europe faces regarding the unchecked migrations and invasion. We face that too, to a lesser but growing, degree.

Does this upset you? For any reason? Good. That means you are thinking about it, at least subconsciously. Thinking might lead to acting – acting for better solutions. Doing nothing leads to some inevitability too.

Fred is also big on science, culture, education, and politics. I don’t know if he’s a cigar brother. I imagine he is.

crime, Germany, invasion, news, perrinlovett.me, Satan, terrorism, The West, War

Last night I commented on the insanity and predictable horrors of welcoming terrorists into our nation even as we bomb them abroad. I recounted a friend’s comment on a similar column: ““Can you imagine America taking in 100,000 German refugees *while* we were bombing Dresden?”

In response to that, another friend added: “Never thought about the Germany comparison. Very thought provoking.” It is.

Now that I have thought about the WWII parallel, I remember that we did the exact opposite back then. Rather than import “refugees” we maintained a total ban. And the government went to extremes to make sure no German (or other) invaders reached our shores.

The various state militias were called up to patrol the coasts. Our enemies did endeavor to send spies among us. They were met by old men and boys on the beach with rifles. FDR went even further than that. The FBI and the OSS feared spies and saboteurs in own major harbors. They also knew the harbors were operated, de facto, by the mafia.

The G-men went directly to the mafia bosses and asked for their help. The Dons consented without hesitation or promise of reward. They knew two things: that the FBI would lay off of them for helping, and; they had to protect the harbors for their own interests if nothing else. That they did. Whatever else they were, they proved they were patriots. And I imagine it would have been better to be caught by the old militiamen than by the longshoremen.

26iht-oldmarch26-queen-blog480

Back to modern Germany and the rest of the West, the situation grows worse by the week. Vox Day reported on a German study which found:

Migrants with recognised refugee status are holidaying in the countries they supposedly “fled”, with their vacations funded by German taxpayers, a newspaper has found. Newspaper Welt am Sonntag learnt that migrants are returning to countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, and Lebanon for holiday purposes, then travelling back to Germany where they continue to receive comfortable welfare payments.

The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has been aware for some time that some recognised refugees are taking leisure trips to the very spots they claim their lives are in danger.

The government body sent a written request to Berlin’s employment agencies in June, asking that they report the travel arrangements of migrants granted asylum holidaying in their countries of origin.

A spokeswoman for the Federal Employment Agency confirmed that “there are such cases” but reports that there is “no analysis or statistics on this subject and therefore we do not have information”.

We pay them to invade our lands and then pay them to vacation back in the horrid places from which they “fled”. Vox goes on to correctly assess what’s coming from all of this:

It’s time to repatriate every single “refugee” and migrant that has claimed asylum in Europe or the United States. They are invaders and economic parasites, they are not “new Americans” or “new Germans” and they will never be.

And the churches and charity organizations who aided and abetted this treasonous, criminal activity should be investigated, fined, and if they knowingly helped the migrants defraud the public, have their licenses to operate removed.

As for those foolish enough to claim that the West has to help them, keep in mind that Nigeria is on track to have a population of 509 million by 2050 thanks to Western assistance. The West needs to stop helping the global South now or it is going to have to choose between a) mass slaughter and b) being completely overrun.

It will choose (a) of course. And all the blame for the bloodshed should be placed directly on the heads and hands of the Churchians and do-gooders and aid workers who made it possible.

Thank you, my friends, and thanks to VD. I like to stay current. In fact, I’m getting to where I am ahead of the news in many cases.

I saw this on Drudge this morning:

nimbus-image-1475147547528

Deutsche Bank next Lehman? Who said that yesterday? I said it:

Like the fun from 2008, this next round will center on the funny money-inflated banking industry. Deutsche Bank will be playing the part of Lehman Brothers…

Then I saw a story at LRC and The Telegraph: ‘Emergency’ Need For Exorcists After Surge in People Dabbling in Satanism and Black Magic.

“The number of people who take part in occult and satanic practices, which lead to serious physical, psychological and spiritual damages, is constantly rising.”

Dr Cascioli teaches courses in exorcism at the Pontifical University of Regina Apostolorum, a Vatican-backed university in Rome. “The number of exorcists has increased in recent years, but there are still not enough to deal with a dramatic situation that affects, above all, young people who use the internet a lot.

“There is a broad spread of superstitious practices, and with that a growing number of requests for help from people who are directly or indirectly struck by evil.

“It is dangerous to underestimate a phenomenon that is caused by the direct actions of the devil, but also by a decline in faith and values.”

Again, I’ve already been there. I had a similar article a month ago. I said:

In addition to ample man-made malady, demonic activity and possession is on the rise across the globe. Wesley Baines interviewed Fr. Gary Thomas, a Vatican trained exorcist. Thomas explained that there is an increasing incidence of possession by fallen spirits which afflicts protestants and atheists as well as Catholics.

Tooting my own horn, I was also the first person (outside LEO) to identify the “book” in Charlotte. A small first, but a first still.

You’re welcome for all this foresight.

And, don’t think that these events and issues are not connected, each with the others. They are.

The violent crime and social unrest, the terrorism and invasion, the economic turmoil, and the rise of the Satanic are all interrelated. The demonic is the big umbrella under which all the others reside. It’s all part of the ancient war on us. The first step in fighting and resisting in that war is thinking about it. That’s what I do here. It’s what we do here. This is becoming a we centered effort.

Thank you all.

Terrorism By The Numbers

America, crime, FBI, government, immigration, ISIS, Islam, Syria, terrorism

Monday night during that pitiful excuse for a debate I heard several semi-coherent blurbs about fighting ISIS and terrorism. Most of these blurbs were accusations leveled from one RepubliCrat to another. Essentially there was no strategy discussed.

Much of the current political and military lying about ISIS concerns Syria. The plan seems to be: fund and equip ISIS until it is time to bomb them; then do so, violating international agreements. For all the craziness, the plan does make sense geographically. ISIS is in Syria. They’re also in America.

They’re active in America. Which country is Orlando located in? How about New York? Minneapolis? San Bernardino? They’re everywhere, here. And that is literally the truth.

Recently linked FBI data shows that Islamic and other terrorists have been active in every state during the past year. Here’s a map:

1-12b8cd9c82

FBI / Breitbart.

Seven thousand seven hundred and twelve encounters in the past year. Not all, obviously, were violent. Still, this rate and quantity is ridiculous.

The FBI has been criticized frequently for their seeming inability to combat terrorism even when the suspect(s) are on the radar. Maybe they are overwhelmed. 7,712 cases could do that.

Information analyzed out of Arizona revealed that a little over 80% of the cases (215 out of 267) involved Islamic terrorists. It could just be that we have an Islamic terror problem in this country (not Syria).

The Regime’s solution is simply: just bring in more Muslims – by any means necessary. If they wind up on the terror watch / deportation list, make them citizens. Hillary Clinton will continue this program, accelerating it if possible. It will continue under Donald Trump, his bombastic counter-assertions aside.

America was not like this not all that long ago. We had problems then, yes. But, call me crazy, things seemed better back then. The numbers.

The Financial Crisis Recovery Crisis

Remember the financial crisis? And I mean from your own personal experience. Of course you do. Now, remember the recovery – again from experience and not what the media and politicians lied about. That ones a little harder, eh? There wasn’t much of a recovery honestly.

Now the recovery in name only is in crisis. Historically we’re due for another recession at this point. And the next one will be carrying the baggage of the last in addition to new problems.

joker_money_burn

At least the Joker had a plan – chaos.

Like the fun from 2008, this next round will center on the funny money-inflated banking industry. Deutsche Bank will be playing the part of Lehman Brothers or AIG (or both).

Europe’s biggest lender Deutsche Bank has lost more than half of its value since January, posing a threat to the stability of other banks across the continent. Some analysts are worried it could invoke a large-scale crisis, bigger than in 2008.

After a massive sell-off on Monday, Deutsche Bank’s market value shrank to €14.5 billion. In dollar terms it is only $2 billion more than the $14 billion penalty the bank faces from the United States Department of Justice over its mortgage-backed securities business before the 2008 global crisis.

Deutsche’s problems have raised questions about the health of other big European lenders. The share price of the Royal Bank of Scotland has plunged 13 percent and Italy’s UniCredit is down 12 percent this month. The Bloomberg Europe 500 Banks and Financial Services Index is down 4.2 percent for September. This is the worst result since June, when the Brexit referendum heavily hit the markets.

The problems of Deutsche Bank are putting the German government in a difficult dilemma, as it must decide whether to save the bank, whose assets are valued at about €1.8 trillion, half the size of the German economy.

Get that? A crisis bigger than 2008. That’s because this one is still tainted by the problems of 2008 which were never dealt with.

Germany is working on a rescue plan but that is just for and because of one bank. What about the others?

There was a secret rescue of sorts after 2008. The Federal Reserve printed up and gave away (loaned to be technical) about $16 Trillion. All of it went to the banks. The banks did nothing with the money; I’ve talked about this before. Maybe a third of the fake cash was gifted to foreign banks – mainly European. The same banks that are in trouble again. The numbers are hard to figure but Deutsche got hundreds of Billion$.

But that doesn’t mean it didn’t accept government rescue money during the financial crisis. Consider the following:

  • As one of the largest counterparties of failed insurer AIG, Deutsche Bank received $11.8 billion of the funds used to bail out AIG. [2]
  • The Federal Reserve made emergency low-cost funds widely available to foreign as well as US member institutions through its discount window. Deutsche Bank was the second heaviest user of such funds, borrowing more than $2 billion. [3]
  • The Federal Reserve also created a program known as the Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility, which allowed banks to use their assets, including troubled or hard-to-value assets, as collateral for short term loans. Deutsche Bank was the largest user of the program, sending the Fed more than $290 billion worth of mortgage securities.[4]

To most people, who don’t make fine distinctions among the particular government programs that funneled their tax dollars to financial institutions, this probably looks an awful lot like a bailout.

This has been on my radar since at least 2013. I focused on the derivatives bubble then. It’s amazing that it has lasted this long.

And, it can’t last much longer. This crisis will probably be the main story of this fall, rather than the clown-show of the U.S. election.

Sadly, the people “in charge” have no idea how to combat these problems, which they created. Their only solutions will be more of the same. For us, that means more suffering. prepare now; this could get very rough.

Update:

The Times released a two segment (body cam and dash) video.

A Plague of Snakes

America, crime, FBI, government, immigration, ISIS, Islam, law, politicians, snakes, terrorism

The Burmese Python is spreading throughout south Florida. This powerful constrictor was imported from Asia. Through accidents and carelessness the snakes were released into the wild.

They are invasive. Facing few predators (big cats and alligators and man only) they easily become the top diner on the food chain. They prey on smaller, unwary animals by literally squeezing the life out of them. The effects on native species are devastating. Fortunately the colder winters of northern Florida act as a barrier to future population growth.

America has long had its own slithering reptilian predators: the Rattlesnake, the Cotton-Mouth, and worst of all – the D.C. Tax Constrictor. These, it would seem, are snakes enough.

Similarly, during the time of the rise of the Pythons, another kind of invasive, non-native snake has come to America. That would be the ISIS (or related) terrorist invaders. They have spread far and wide, unchecked by the climate. They face few natural enemies. And they kill through the constriction of fear, bombs, and blades.

Yesterday the New York Times asked why the FBI did not stop the recent spate of terror attacks – Orlando, New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, etc. – of which it had some knowledge.

Why wasn’t the F.B.I. able to prevent the attacks by arresting those now believed to be responsible?

None of the people in those cases had broken the law or given a clear indication that they intended to kill. The F.B.I. is not allowed to conduct open-ended investigations without justification. Traveling to Pakistan or Afghanistan, or expressing admiration for Osama bin Laden or the Islamic State, could put someone on the F.B.I.’s radar, but none are illegal. The F.B.I. cannot jail someone without evidence of a crime and must follow extensive guidelines that are intended to protect privacy and civil liberties.

James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director, is fond of reminding the public of the F.B.I.’s checkered past and what happens when the rule of law is not followed. He keeps a copy on his desk of then-Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy’s approval to wiretap the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., a move that later brought shame to the bureau.

What can the F.B.I. do to prevent an attack?

A lot, in some cases, but that is not always enough. After Omar Mateen fatally shot 49 people in an Orlando nightclub in June, Mr. Comey revealed that the F.B.I. had investigated Mr. Mateen beginning in 2013. At that time, the bureau opened a preliminary investigation after Mr. Mateen told co-workers he had family ties to Al Qaeda, was a member of Hezbollah and wanted to die a martyr. The F.B.I. used confidential informants to determine whether Mr. Mateen was a terrorist and placed him on a watch list.

A preliminary investigation has a limit of six months, but it was extended another four in Mr. Mateen’s case. But the bureau failed to find evidence that he was plotting an attack or had connections to an overseas terrorist group. In an interview with reporters after the Orlando shooting, Mr. Comey said about the case: “We are also going to look hard at our own work to see whether there is something we should have done differently. So far, the honest answer is, I don’t think so.”

In a failed plot last year to attack an exhibition of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in Garland, Tex., one of the attackers was already under full investigation. Yet the F.B.I. was unaware that the attackers had obtained guns and traveled across the country. The police killed both men before they carried out their plan.

The plain answer is the FBI doesn’t stop these attacks because it can’t. There are legal constraints on agents. The agency also wastes huge amounts of money and manpower policing plants and business people. Then there’s the fact that the D.C. snakes keep their slimy ISIS cousins coming in and in growing numbers.

Donald Trump’s son metaphorically made reference to the problem in terms of Skittles. In a bowl of”good” candies, three are known to be poisoned. Would you take a handful? I wonder if the ratio isn’t reversed. Maybe a few good apples don’t save the rotten barrel. Or shouldn’t. This year we’ve imported third-worlders by the tens of thousands. The lunatics in D.C. would like to raise that to hundreds of thousands next year. Hundreds of millions are available. The FBI can’t keep pace with the increases.

puck

The Burmese Python is the least of these problems. They are simply God’s creatures, misplaced but desiring food and little else. The terrorists, while very dangerous, are only products of the times (and ignorant hatred). Serpentes Washingtonius, a Satanic creation bent on destruction, is the worst by far.

They say it is best to run them over while hitting the brakes.
