Would love to hear all about it. You have an exciting job.

South Dakota really doesn't need much from Homeland Security. All we have here is Mt. Rushmore and a whole bunch of conservatives. Since we have so few, dark swarthy types really stand out and would immediately become targets of interest. We look out for each other around here and seldom depend on government "help".

I've definitely enjoyed it thus far... it's almost like still being in school (with less homework!).

Looking out for each other is important, as is being prepared.

Chertoff pointed out (paraphrasing) that:

Preparedness is uneven, we must recognize that state and local government are the first responders in all but the most extreme consequences. Local and state government know the population/geography and can help citizens better than the federal government (short term). A big requirement in any disaster or emergency is individual contribution. People should be prepared for 48-72+ hours "on their own." Family planning is crucial, and people should listen to evacuation orders (especially important with Hurricane season back upon us). If able bodied people do not plan, they are hurting the chances of everyone (especially those who really need assistance) when it comes to response from the government.

Frances Busby - Democrat - says you don't need papers for voting

Snip: If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: “You don't need papers for voting.” On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.

But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: “You don't need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign).”

Norway's postal service refuses to ship dead birds to be checked for avian flu

Snip: Up until now Posten has sent dead birds for testing to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, but now the organization has instituted a policy change, newspaper VG reports. "The fear of human infection means that we can no longer ship dead birds," Posten Norge's security director Arnfinn Nordheim told VG.

Posten has no specially suited transport system for dangerous goods, and these birds have been defined as such by the Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning (DSB). Nordheim said that around 1,600 dead birds had been sent to the FSA since February, many of them as ordinary packages, and with postal workers unaware of what they were handling.

Canadian-Muslim attacks thwarted

Snippets: The former Prime Minister spoke publicly that Canadian "values" are the same as Islamic "values." With that, he palavered extensively, stroking Muslim murderers global, revealing his broad-based ignorance concerning Islam. He regarded Islam as a "peace religion" instead of the killing cult that it has shown itself daily to be. Now the new Canadian PM Stephen Harper is dealing with murdering reality potential, that is, Muslim-inspired individuals caught in the act of terrorism planned.

Perhaps Canadians will now wake up to the global threat from Islamics who hold Islam world rule as their game’s end. This, with the belief that their messiah returning will rule the planet in Muslim peace, propels the cult fanatics to do whatever it takes to bring into fruition the prophetic details.

The coming Muslim takeover of Europe

Snip: This stunner of a book about Continental Islam has two main themes. The first is that Europe has a horrific Muslim immigration and reproduction problem. European Muslims are expanding their numbers almost exponentially, and they are not being assimilated or integrated into European culture. This radically new and explosive demographic, according to the author, is not being converted to Western liberalism or adopting Western life-styles.

M15 fears silent army of 1500 biding time in suburbs

Snip: The terrorist threat facing Britain has developed into a "covert conspiracy" involving hundreds of men and women living ordinary lives in the nation's suburbs, security sources have revealed.

Unbeknown to their families and friends, they form a silent 1,200-strong "army" of terrorists. They are believed to be involved in at least 20 major plots that they hope will bring death and destruction to Britain.

Islamic radicals in France target youth

Snip: Radicalization is happening "faster and faster and younger and younger," said the document from the Renseignements Generaux, France's chief intelligence agency, according to Figaro.

Recruiters often target disadvantaged youths of North African origin in bleak suburban housing projects, offering "to help overcome difficulties of daily life" before trying to convert them to radical Islam, the report was quoted as saying. Such neighborhoods were hit by a wave of riots last year, though police said Islamic extremists played no role in that unrest.
