Interesting analysis. I was blocked from watching the video and couldn’t access the youtube link either. The rick-roll at the end of the analysis was enjoyable...back at ya’...

[FARS]

you have to insist! Double click on it a few times, try clicking on the YOuTube symbol. It does decide to come up when you pound at it, A new window opens and it plays. Worth the effort.

thanks for the new video.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the info at #123. Very interesting. That pdf link (2nd one) did not open but the same link did (inside the 1st one).

SGT’s eh? Security Threat Groups. That should be expanded to anti-truth, anti-freedom collectives like ACORN. What the 7734 are ANY doing in OUR country? The violent ones are obvious. The supposedly benign ones are just as bad by undermining freedom in other ways.

De-legitimize, de-fund, dismantle any and all anti-truth, anti-freedom collectives. The lie is the weapon most often used by the criminal. /rant

Thanks again, granny.

Thanks for the advice for clicking on the YOUtube (in the lower right hand corner). I’ve never used that function before. Learn something new everday with a good teacher. Got it. Thanks FARS. Quite the restaurant. Ornate/gaudy.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thanks for the ping (#121) Velveeta. GRRRREAT news! You, granny, Cindy...what a great thread of information. <<<

Thank you for reading and the kind words.

[nw_arizona_granny]

SGT’s eh? Security Threat Groups. That should be expanded to anti-truth, anti-freedom collectives like ACORN.<<<

I will agree with you on all the groups that seek to destroy our country.

Glad you finally found a way into the pdf, as I didn’t think the url looked quite right.

[PGalt]

At #139 the 3 hikers. I watched the videos at the links (the kids/friends & the moms). Thanks. It’s just hard to fathom the mindset of the 3 hikers. Our office of the press secretary deferring to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights - International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - entry into force 23 March 1976, in accordance with Article 49...has put the fear of the blue helmets into Iran’s Nutjob. /skepticism

[Cindy]

My Opinion: The AMERICAN hikers are hostages.

And we are doing nothing about it.

[PGalt]

Thanks for #111 link to Jeffrey Imm’s R.E.A.L. Interesting to see the direction that he is going in.

[PGalt]

Interesting FBI April 23 press release at your post #114. Follow the terrorists. Great job thwarting this one. Kudos to counter-terrorism warriors.

“FBI Director Robert S. Mueller said, “Ahmedzay’s plea makes clear that he betrayed his adopted country and its people...”

Country and people are of no consequence to philosophical supremecists like Zarein, Bob. Read their constitution.

[Cindy]

“Great job...”

My Opinion: Always a work in progress — global jihad 24/7; gwot 24/7.

[PGalt]

Yeah, I know they’re hostages. We are doing something...deferring to the U.N. AND issuing a press release about it. What else can a Nobel Peace Prize recipient do? Nutjob could release them and bestow a Darwin Award on the hiker/pawns and Barry could reciprocate with a beer summit...but in this crazy world run by cretins that would be asking too much I suppose.

[PGalt]

Thanks for the link at #131 - Bin Laden’s full text. The first time I have read it. Interesting.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thanks for #111 link to Jeffrey Imm’s R.E.A.L. Interesting to see the direction that he is going in.<<<

Yes, he has broadened his future and it will be interesting to see where he goes with it.

He does many protests for real human rights, so maybe it will help, when the ‘o’ has moved on.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thanks for the link at #131 - Bin Laden’s full text. The first time I have read it. Interesting.<<<

You are welcome.

It sounds like something from today.

[FARS]

you are right on both counts though a short while aqo, Obama made drastically nice to Iran in a way that I thought was a deal to get them back. But it never happened

[FARS]

I learn some things through frustrated effort of “hammering” around till something reacted/worked (smile)
