    THE RED SCARE! Chuck Todd: I Fear The Russians Could Be Behind The Mail-Bomb Scare

    THE RED SCARE! Chuck Todd: I Fear The Russians Could Be Behind The Mail-Bomb Scare:

    NBC’s Chuck Todd said he fears the Russians could be responsible for the mail-bomb scare that has targeted top officials in the Democratic Party, as well as CNN and actor Robert De Niro on Thursday.

    “I have this fear that it could be some Russian operation too, in designed to do what’s happening now,” Todd said.

    Todd added that we shouldn’t rule out that possibility and that the mail-bomb scare is dividing the country before going to break.

    THE HALLOWEEN ATTACK IN MANHATTAN?

    Six feared dead after truck driver shouting ‘allahu akbar’ mows down cyclists on bike path in lower Manhattan before being gunned down by police as he waved imitation firearms!

    The truck rammed into cyclists and runners on the West Side Highway on Tuesday shortly after 3pm
    Driver drove south from further uptown and mounted the bike path a few blocks above Chambers Street
    He mowed down several cyclists and runners, according to police sources, then crashed into a school bus
    The driver then reportedly got out of the Home Depot truck with fake guns in his hands and was shot by police
    The suspect survived and is in hospital but it remains unclear how many he injured in his path of destruction
    He had rented the truck from Home Depot which said it was cooperating with authorities after the attack

    MORE:

    At least six people were killed and 15 were injured when a truck driver deliberately mowed down people and targeted a school bus in lower Manhattan Tuesday in what authorities are investigating as an act of terror, officials tell News 4 New York.

    More than a dozen people were hit when the driver of a Home Depot rental truck zoomed at least 10 blocks down a popular bike bath from West Houston to Chambers streets.

    The man crashed into a school bus carrying three children during the rampage, and police say that he’d deliberately targeted that bus. Witnesses told police they saw the driver swerve the truck to target the school bus. They said the driver screamed “Allah’ akbar” in the truck, then emerged carrying two fake guns — either BB or paint guns — and started running around before he was finally shot by police.

  • TERRORIST ATTACKS HIT LONDON: CHAOS IN CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY // DEATHS, INJURIES// POLICE KILL ASSAILANTS

    TERRORIST ATTACKS HIT LONDON: CHAOS IN CENTRAL PART OF THE CITY // DEATHS, INJURIES// POLICE KILL ASSAILANTS

    Yet another nightmare scenario of terrorism in a major city is playing out in real time..

    Social media reports indicated all the news first. Then terror attack news blanketed the major airwaves across the world..

    The situation at hand:

    Militants drove a van at high speed into pedestrians on London Bridge before stabbing revelers on the street and in bars in the nearby Borough Market area on Saturday night in what authorities described as a terrorist attack.

    Armed police rushed to the scene where shots were heard and authorities urged Londoners on Twitter to “run, hide, tell” if they were caught in the attack.

    Witnesses described a van speeding into several pedestrians on London Bridge and then a knife-wielding man sprinting towards a bar packed with revellers enjoying a Saturday night out.

    Italian photographer Gabriele Sciotto, who was watching the Champions League final at the Wheatsheaf pub in Borough Market, said he saw three men being shot just outside the pub.

  • A dreadful day in the life of the planet Earth: France Bastille Day attack and the Day of Rage in the summer that never ends

    A dreadful day in the life of the planet Earth: France Bastille Day attack and the Day of Rage in the summer that never ends

    ​Grim news abounds.. yet another day on the planet Earth is being consumed with agony and horror..

    Yesterday, while people were celebrating Bastille Day in France, fireworks exploded overhead. Meanwhile, a 31-year-old Tunisia born male was rapidly approaching a crowd in a truck and, in a deliberate attack, mowed down people for one mile.. The results are horrific. At press time, 84 dead with more injured.. The depravity of humanity on full display.. 

    There were a few poignant images that will not escape my memory .. one of that being a photograph taken by a news agency of a bodybag covering a casulty. Next to the body bag: A toy teddy bear. It was clear that many of those who were killed were children, always children. The children get the brunt of adults’ murder sprees and terrorism all of the time. Suffer the children constantly on this planet. People who are the most innocent of all get the harshest of treatment at the hands of their fellow humans. It is repulsive beyond recognition. 

    Last night while posting news and actively communicating with people on Twitter, someone wrote to me this whole thing is “getting very serious and we worry for the future.” My response was honesty: I wrote back that I have a very uneasy feeling.. And I do.

    Despite the active terror scene in Nice France, the feeling has not gone away.

    July 15 is the date of a long planned ‘day of rage.’ Anomymous reportedly is the group that called for it—30+ cities are on the list of the ‘rage’ .. Anonymous has denounced the Dallas police murders. And it is also calling for the Day of Rage 2016 to be peaceful and non violent. But those ‘peaceful’ marches in Dallas did not become violent due to the rage of protesters, but instead the anger of one person who carried out attacks in a place he knew police would be. Similarly, the ‘day of rage’ protests set for the entire nation tonight are pre-planned and peaceful. But it takes one.


    I am worried about the Day of Rage.  

    I am worried for the world at large.

    This website began in the summer of 1998.. those who have followed since the first .com incarnation in 2001 will recall that it was glued to movie news and horror reports, but changed a bit after 9/11. I have continued to change and alter.. Perhaps at times becoming more gloomy than I should have.. But the ‘horror report’ is a mixture of fiction and reality, science and politics. It focuses on the strange and unusual, the creepy and the other-worldly. And yes, when big news happens, we pay attention. 

    I want to pay attention today to the Ghostbusters opening day. I want to simply collect reviews and post them on this site for all to read.. I want celebrity gossip and even a Bieber scandal. That would be fun.,

    But instead of all of that, today my focus is not on the meaningless. It’s on the very real and very serious dilemma that the population of the world so often finds itself in.

    Violence equals violence. There is no escaping that. 

    There is no escaping much lately, actually.

    Even movies, the typical escape, seem to be a temporary refuge in a summer of madness. The heat is on throughout the world.. The coming of the nuclear winter seems to be the only way out.

    The prayers of the good and moral on this planet are quiet.. but in large numbers, let’s hope to God they work. So far we aren’t loud enough in our quiet meditation. 

    Get loud.

    A witness who gave his name as Antoine said: “We were at the Neptune beach and a firework display had just finished. That is when we saw a white lorry. It was going quickly at 60-70 kilometres an hour.”

  • SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

    SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY

    Eyes are glued to news and the entire world suddenly is engrossed in the aftermath of what the media calls the worst shooting in American history.  Before getting to the meat of the matter, it’s worth noting that the media is wrong on one point. Though what has occurred in Orlando at the Pulse nightclub is horrific, it’s not the ‘worst in history.’ In the year 1890, the United States government shot and killed nearly 300 Native Americans.   But that’s for another day.

    This day has headlines ravaged in blood.. The digital universe is also responding.

    The Pulse Nightclub in Orlando Florida is a location known to be friendly to the LGBT community–though it’s welcoming to all.

    Last night as music pulsed through the crowd, Omar Mateen–we are told–opened fire on the crowd. He killed at least 50. Injured another 50.. It was as Ramadan began.

    This is what is known so far–or at least what the media has told us..

    ALL THIS FROM THE UK DAILY MAIL BEING REPORTED:

    ‘He got angry when he saw two men kissing’: Father of New York-born shooter Omar Mateen, 29, says son responsible for worst mass shooting in US history was homophobic

    • Suspected Islamic extremist opened fire inside Pulse gay club in Orlando in the early hours of this morning
    • Law enforcement sources have identified the shooter as US citizen Omar Mateen, from Port St. Lucie in Florida
    • He killed at least 50 people and injured 53 and took party-goers hostage before being killed by police
    • Shooter, 29, was carrying a suspicious device, possibly a suicide vest, when he began shooting in the nightclub
    • Police used an explosive device to distract the gunman and rescue around 30 people who had been taken hostage
    • Police engaged in gunfire with the man and an officer was shot in the head, but he was saved by his helmet
    • FBI says gunman may have ‘leanings to radical Islamic terrorism’ and it is being investigated as ‘an act of terrorism’
    • Took place four miles from where The Voice singer Christina Grimmie, 22, was shot dead at The Plaza Live on Friday

    More information ..

    We will learn more as the day develops.. maybe we will find out how someone with an assault rifle strapped to his body can get into a nightclub..?

    It’s a developing story.
    And it’s tragic.. horrific.. and could be another ‘we will never be the same’ moment for the United States.

  • FBI warns of cyber threat

    FBI warns of cyber threat

    Regardless of season or world menace, the threat that keeps on threatening: Cyber attacks and the grid collapse.

    Bill Gertz dispatches this in the FREE BEACON:

    The nationwide campaign by DHS and the FBI began March 31 and includes 12 briefings and online webinars for electrical power infrastructure companies and others involved in security, with sessions in eight U.S. cities, including a session next week in Washington.

    ….

    The briefings will outline the details of the attacks, the techniques used by the hackers, and strategies to be used to limit risks and improve cyber security for grid organizations.

    Security researchers have concluded the attack was carried out by Russian government hackers based on the type of malicious software, called BlackEnergy, that was detected in the incident.

    The threat briefings followed an internal DHS intelligence report published in January that stated the risk of a cyber attack against U.S. electrical infrastructure was low.

    “We assess the threat of a damaging or disruptive cyber attack against the U.S energy sector is low,” the report, labeled “for official use only,” says.
