Tomorrow is September 11, 2014, the anniversary of an infamous attack on our country and our way of life.
I write this to ask that each of us be cautious. Stay away from crowds, get out of traffic jams, be aware of your surroundings, don’t place yourself in harm’s way.
Much has been said lately about terrorist groups being in Juarez in preparation for attacks on Fort Bliss. I don’t know whether those reports are accurate or not.
We do know that Fort Bliss is in a heightened state of security. Their officials tell us that the increased security is part of a normal evaluation of the procedures. Once again I don’t know anyone that will tell us the real story at this point.
Something may happen soon, or maybe not.
Let’s see to it that we are not chance victims.
Maybe we can find a way to deal with these terrorists effectively.
We deserve better

IF. . . . . any “Officials” KNOW about . . . . . anything “Pending”, they certainly would not tell us as the public would panic and cause worse problems.
All big, crowded events, I stay away from.
As today is Sept. 10th, and it is already turning to Sept. 11, in countries on the other side of the world, I hold my breath and . . . . wait.
The thing I worry about the most is the loss of the Internet.
All business, in one way or the other, depends on the fragile Internet. Your direct deposit paycheck. The ATM system. Acceptance of credit cards at all retailers. Ordering of supplies.
Availability of all supplies. Ordering of food by all grocery stores. Trucking routes and information. Maps. News. Weather.
The Internet is not just facebook, games and fun.
Russia now controls the Internet.
Kaspersky Virus protection is the BEST and is used by all governments to test their own Virus Protection.
(Not USED, . . . . AS . . . a virus protection, but to TEST their own programs.)
It is used by a LOT of the US and world.
However, it is based in Russia and was started by a KGB agent, Eugene Kaspersky, and has offices within walking distance from the Krimlin and Putin’s offices.
One phone call from Putin to Kaspersky and the whole Internet could go down as the Kaspersky visus protection . . . . LETS Russian viruses loose and thru the system.
Kaspersky virus protection is what Iran was using that found the virus sent by the US (and others), to Iran, to mess with their Nuclear program. Other virus programs could not detect the US viruses sent to Iran.
Russia holds the Internet Button.
Well, hope all is well the next few days !

There were two interesting things in the comments by Ft. Bliss in recent days.
They said over the weekend that the current changes are coincidentally being made now because they discovered that post security was not in compliance with standards.
Yesterday, they scolded the media for inferring any connection between these changes and the recent Judicial Watch report which said there are reports of imminent threats. Shouldn’t they be scolding the people responsible for Ft. Bliss’s security compliance failures?
Why won’t they just be honest about the situation?

The present threat status is “ALPHA” which is as low as you can get except for no security at all. This story is being pumped to sell papers and generate hits for the media.

You sound like one of the many local, state and federal government officials who refused to listen to Rick Rescorla’s many warnings about the risk at the World Trade Center, even after the earlier attack. Read up on Rick Rescorla. He was there 9/11. He got the Morgan Stanley people got out alive and then died when he went back in to help save others. He played it safe and his fellow employees are alive because of his precautionary planning.

Better safe than sorry. I submit IF the terrorists plan to cause havoc in El Paso, I don’t believe they would wait till 09/11 to cross the border. IF, there is a plan, they are already here.
There are reports that citizens of 75 countries have entered the US illegally via the Texas/Mexico border. One person dressed as a member of ISIS and carried a fake head across the border, out in the open. NO ONE saw him ! Another crossed, dressed as Bin Laden. No one noticed !
So the border is very POROUS. So is it possible that something could happen, yes. The probability is low. But, better safe than sorry. Some wannabe terrorist, home grown, could be the attacker.

Even though it’s been eons since I’ve shared my ample amount of intelligence on this blog, it appears that are beloved Brutus could use a dose of my highly unorthodox (but effective) version of psychology. Brut, as the kiddies like to say, chillax, brah. According to my crystal ball (Wall Mart $79.95 – between the toys and automotive sections) Satan says that the 915 on 9/11 will just be the normal level of stupidity that we are accustomed to. Besides, terrorists would never live in Juarez – too violent and too many shady characters. However, in that microscopic chance that el terroristos do attack us, I want everyone to know that…..l HATE ALL OF YOU !
