"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
FBI urges vigilance for July 4
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A constant stream of intelligence indicating that al Qaeda wants to strike the United States this summer or fall has led federal officials to urge increased vigilance during the Independence Day weekend, but there is no specific threat of an attack timed to the holiday.
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

thx for the ping JP!
I hesitate to make the analogy of rats abandoning a sinking ship.....but that's one such analogy that could be made!
The first few were just some random jihadi. But the last few have been bumped by the leader of Global Islamic Media, which really concerns me.
Can you enlighten us with a little more info?
SUGGESTION:
IN TERMS OF THE ITEMS IN THE POST THIS REPLIES TO:
IMPORTANT:
Things to Look Out For: Be Observant:
Multiple sightings of the same suspicious person, vehicle or activity at the same location;
Individuals or activities that don't "fit" into the surrounding environment;
Individuals sitting in a parked vehicle for an extended period of time;
Individuals or several people sketching or taking notes, photographing or videotaping areas or buildings not normally associated with tourist activity;
Clothing out of place for the weather, such as someone wearing a heavy coat in hot weather;
Individuals or people carrying unusually heavy bags or backpacks;
Vehicles -- especially vans, U-Hauls or delivery trucks -- improperly parked or parked in locations not normally associated with deliveries;
Follow your instinct. If something doesn't look right, it might not be.
*PLEASE* TAKE 1-5 MINUTES BEFORE SLEEP EACH NIGHT AND ENTER A SUMMARY OF WHAT YOU OBSERVED WITH AS MANY *BEHAVIORAL* DETAILS AND IDENTIFYING DETAILS AS YOU CAN RECALL--EITHER FROM MEMORY OR NOTES.
If you can, put a guesstimate number to some things like--"LOOKED WARY, NERVOUS" on a scale of 1-10 with 10 max--looked nervous at about an 8.
Over time, your baseline observations will be very valuable toward helping YOU NOTICE
AND
HELPING CONVINCE AUTHORITIES that a significant change is worth their following up on.
CAN ALSO ALERT YOU SOONEST to the need to distance yourself and your family.
PLEASE--KEEP A BLANK BOOK JOURNAL RECORD OF YOUR OBSERVATIONS AT LEAST IN BRIEF SUMMARY FORM--IF YOU AT ALL ROUTINELY CROSS PATHS WITH Middle Easterners you have the least bit of suspicion might be hazardous. Please do it as your own personal project. But feel free, to report significant changes from the base-line norm here (particularly to Old Sarge) and to Homeland Security.
Alert observations to all with such 'opportunities.'
AND THE LORD'S SAFETY AND ANGELS BE WITH US ALL!
Nah, you're OK in my book Jill. Welcome back.
>>Darlin' you and any of your other little friends can try to have my site taken down, but I am not in violation of my terms of service,
Are they doing this? Wow! Well, i'll tell you one thing...this new desire to stifle debate and discussion is absolutely disgusting and smacks of goosestepping.
Your observation here and that of your earlier post certainly points out the enemy within, doesn't it? I would distrust any "factual" information coming from such a source. We need to verify everything.
Excellent ideas, Quix. Thanks.
AND,
I suggest making a game with children
OF DRILLS.
Various kinds of drills for various kinds of emergencies.
Some things need to become 2nd nature for all concerned.
Break major disaster situations down into maybe 5 minute sequences and drill that 5 min section until it's learned. Then drill all the fitting segments together.
Young children can have it all cast as an exercise, adventure with fantasy animal characters if need be. No need to rachet fear up. The important thing is to train actions, habits and at least a willingness to run with instructions without arguing or foot dragging when the time comes.
Review each exercise with all concerned asking each person how it can be made better the next time on everyone's part. Insure as a group that the main goals for each situation are known and owned by each family member able to comprehend them.
Corrie Ten Boom's HIDING PLACE has an example of the sort of drill that could be necessary in some situations.
The important thing is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE until it's at least somewhat automatic. This can be a LIFE-SAVING antedote to the anxiety and fear real crises can engender, incapacitating some types of personalities.
It's also wise to observe in such exercises, which family member tracks best in such situations. Which family members think best on their feet regarding which factors and contingencies. Go with such strengths and cover one another's weaknesses without petty ego battles.
May God give all willing souls His wisdom in all such situations.
