About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

How Do You Stop A Future Terrorist?

On the theme I have been discussing on my last couple of Posts,
today in
online,
there is an article on,
"How Do You Stop A Future Terrorist,
When The Only Evidence Is Thought?"
By Rukmini Callimachi 
"MAGNANVILLE, France — The first time Larossi Abballa appeared on the radar of French terrorism investigators, the only act of violence they could pin on him was killing bunnies. When he and seven others were later arrested, the authorities found that several of the men had saved the video of the slaughter on their cellphones, alongside footage of soldiers being beheaded, according to French court records. Mr. Abballa was eventually convicted on a terrorism charge and spent more than two years in prison. Across Europe and the United States, law enforcement officials are struggling to reckon with attackers like Mr. Abballa and Omar Mateen, whose shooting rampage this month at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., left 49 dead. They are men who clearly seemed to be building toward violent acts, and whose names had surfaced in terrorism investigations, but who avoided crossing legal lines that could tip off the authorities until it was too late. With thousands of terrorism surveillance cases running at any given time, the European authorities say they are swamped and are in the difficult position of trying to head off attacks of which the only forewarning is often in the form of what someone thinks or what they are overheard saying."
That is my question from my first Post of two days ago.
When is it OK to arrest someone before they even commit an act of terrorism?
A whole lot of people,
who are my friends,
grew up in the late 1960's
and 1970's blaming our Government for the Vietnam War.
They openly protested what was going on in this country during the Civil Rights Riots.
Would these people be considered Terrorists today?

This is,
Considering What Would Happen If You Could Be Arrested For What You Thought.
Maybe Communism Under Stalin?
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Democracy is not a form of government. It is a tool of government. Case in point, Stalinist USSR was a "democracy".” 
A.E. Samaan -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
