That is it. It is read by the receiver after the receiver unencrypts it, and then is permanently gone, so "chatter" that used to give us warnings of "credible threats" is no longer available to monitor.


I don't worry that a terrorist attack will happen here in The Villages. I don't worry about myself or much about folks who are over fifty. I worry about the hatred directed at people who don't espouse this religion by radical people. Fox news said that 79% of American citizens expected to see a terrorist attack on American soil in the next few months. And CNN said that terrorism is the number one thing on peoples minds, not the economy, not jobs, not police brutality, not guns.


The people who change the subject are behind the times. I don't want people to be afraid and I don't want to be afraid. Being afraid is not a conscious decision, it is an emotion and is not an act of will. It follows absorbing facts and is there as a mechanism to preserve life unless a person is paranoid and/or absorbing untrue facts. Really knowing what is happening is almost addictive and leads to over watching the news, sadly.

What I dislike intensely are the anchors who do not interview, but argue their beliefs, and those who put their spin on reporting. Every single one of them does it. All stations. Real journalism is not used much anymore. The simple reporting of facts that have been validated by a credible (to all) source. One that waits and doesn't jump the gun and facts that do not play on emotions. About the only person I feel confident in at this time is the director of the FBI....and then my mind goes back to J. Edgar Hoover.
