I was born in VT, as were relatives going back many generations. I also live in the NE Kingdom and, while it isn’t the cheapest place in the country to live, I enjoy our freedoms. If I want to see ‘diversity’, I have to drive over 1 1/2 hours; if I want to see a neighbor, I have to walk over half a mile. The NE Kingdom still exercises their own justice, since there’s almost no coverage from either the Sheriff’s Dept or the State Police. Neither will come to our area without backup. I can understand Alaska’s appeal, and wouldn’t hesitate to move there if I didn’t have such a connection to VT and a desire to kick the flat-landers out.

Let Red England suffer that which they have sown.
Their baseless arrogance is incomprehensible.

Muzzies will slit their throat while they sleep.
Aren’t Kennedys cool?

Agree with everything you said. I too have deep roots in VT, going back pre-revolution. Fully intended to go back to die but a funny thing happened on the way. We stopped to check out Alaska. It is an outdoorsman’s paradise. Population is about the same as VT but the state is almost seventy times bigger. If you want to be alone you can be ALONE.

The real problem with Vermont, for me, is that any fool with a car can drive up to your door from NYC or Boston or anywhere. To get to where I am you have to use an airplane or a boat.

Besides, the weather is better here in Southeast Alaska. Milder winters, cooler summers....really.

You’d better stop bragging, or you may find yourself with a former Vermonter as a neighbor!

Syrian refugee arrested for plotting terror attacks
1/3/17 | Arutz Sheva Staff / FR Posted by Lera

The Syrian refugee had entered Germany December 2014 and applied for asylum in January 2015, obtaining refugee status and a residency permit, prosecutors said in a statement.

Last month the Syrian refugee reportedly asked an ISIS contact in Syria to send him the money "so he could purchase vehicles which he could load with explosives and which he wanted to drive into crowds... and blow up in order to kill unknown numbers of people who do not follow the Muslim faith".

The unemployed 38-year-old Syrian with refugee status inside Germany had urged an ISIS contact via mobile phone message service Telegram to send him 180,000 euros ($188,000), prosecutors said.

Police commandos raided the Syrian suspect's apartment in Saarbruecken near the French border around 2:00 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Saturday, New Year's Eve. He was detained before being formally arrested on terror financing charges Sunday, according to AFP.

The Syrian refugee's "as yet undefined attack scenario" suggested the use of explosives-packed vehicles in Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands, said police.

The German newspaper Spiegel Online reported the Syrian refugee's plan was to re-paint the vehicles to make them look like police patrol cars. The Syrian refugee, Hasan A., said his contact was located in ISIS's de facto capital of Raqa, Syria. (Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...

The Obama administration is rapidly accelerating its
admission and resettlement of Syrian refugees into the US.

Canada Free Press ^ | 06/04/16 | Joseph Klein / FR Posted by Sean_Anthony

The Obama administration is well on its way to meeting its target of taking 10,000 Syrians into the country by the end of the current fiscal year on September 30th. In the first five months of 2016, 2,099 Syrian refugees have been admitted, compared with 2,192 for the whole of 2015, according to a report by CNS News. However, only a very tiny percentage are Christians, a beleaguered minority whom are facing genocide in their home country. --SNIP--
