  PLAYING GOD? Tens of millions spent on huge project to change the WEATHER
Posted by: guohua - 07-29-2016, 07:00 PM - Forum: Fragile Earth - Replies (9)

OK, Ok, Ok,,,,, Mystic Wanderer and Many Other have been telling us for a long while now that Governments were playing with the weather for their own reasons.
Read this article and wait for Mystic Wanderer to come by or Gordi or Someone to say,,,, "I Told You So!"

Quote:A CONTROVERSIAL project costing tens of millions of pounds will attempt to change the weather.
If That says Pounds then it's even more in Dollars! tinyhuh

[Image: 1-694771.jpg]China is trying to make it rain.
[Image: 2-607889.jpg].Droughts are China and the US's biggest threat to their farming industries.

Quote:China are ploughing more than £22million into shooting salt-and-mineral-filled bullets into the sky in a bid to make it rain.
But Beijing is not alone in its pursuit to play God with the weather, with at least 52 countries, including the US, using weather modification techniques which allows authorities to clear the skies or make it rain.
Droughts in places such as the the US and China are one of the biggest constraints on their farming industries, which is why scientists are working to eradicate the the prolonged dry seasons.
They will do this by putting chemicals in the sky.

Even in the hottest regions of the world, moisture remains in the skies.
Before it rains, the moisture particles in the air condense and cool on smaller particles like dust which is how clouds are formed.
Once enough of the particles have come together and the clouds get heavier, then it begins to rain.

However, the experts are hoping to speed up this process from the ground.
By ploughing chemicals into the clouds that will lower the temperature of the clouds which will ultimately give more material for the moisture to build on.
They hope that this will speed the process up and rain sooner.

Bart Geerts, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Wyoming, told Business Insider that although ‘cloud-seeding’ could work, he is not completely optimistic.
Mr Geerts said: "I think the verdict is still out.”
However, he said that “even a 10 per cent increase in rainfall or snowfall may be worth the expense.”

They didn't Mention HAAP in the US. 
[Image: HAARP_machine.jpg] 

Quote:HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is a little-known, yet critically important U.S. military defense program which has generated quite a bit of controversy over the years in certain circles.Though denied by HAARP officials, some respected researchers allege that secret electromagnetic warfare capabilities of HAARP are designed to forward the US military’s stated goal of achieving full-spectrum dominance by the year 2020. Others go so far as to claim that HAARP can and has been used for weather modification, to cause earthquakes and tsunamis, to disrupt global communications systems, and more.
Major aspects of the program are kept secret for alleged reasons of “national security.” Yet there is no doubt that HAARP and electromagnetic weapons capable of being used in warfare do exist. According to the official HAARP website, “HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.” The ionosphere is the delicate upper layer of our atmosphere which ranges from about 30 miles (50 km) to 600 miles (1,000 km) above the surface of the Earth.
The HAARP website acknowledges that experiments are conducted which use electromagnetic frequencies to fire pulsed, directed energy beams in order to “temporarily excite a limited area of theionosphere.” Some scientists state that purposefully disturbing this sensitive layer could have major and even disastrous consequences. Concerned HAARP researchers like Dr. Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa and Alaska’s Dr. Nick Begich (son of a US Congressman) present evidence suggesting that these disturbances can even cause tsunamis and earthquakes.
Two key major media documentaries, one by Canada’s public broadcasting network CBC and the other by the History Channel, reveal the inner workings of HAARP in a most powerful way. The very well researched CBC documentary includes this key quote:
“It isn’t just conspiracy theorists who are concerned about HAARP. In January of 1999, the European Union called the project a global concern and passed a resolution calling for more information on its health and environmental risks. Despite those concerns, officials at HAARP insist the project is nothing more sinister than a radio science research facility.”

Quote:When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London , a professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed animosity towards him.
 
Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected, there were always "arguments" and confrontations.
 
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor.
 
The professor said,"Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat."
 
Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table.
 
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions.
 
Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question:
"Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?"
 
Without hesitating, Gandhi responded,
"The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters, smiling sarcastically said,
"I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."
 
Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded,
"Each one takes what he doesn't have."
 
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied.
 
So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi.
 
Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk, trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.
 
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone,
 
"Mr. Peters, you autographed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

  N. Korea says USA has crossed the red line

N. Korea: US has crossed red line, relations on war footing
ERIC TALMADGE, Associated Press

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea's top diplomat for U.S. affairs told The Associated Press Thursday that Washington "crossed the red line" and effectively declared war by putting leader Kim Jong Un on its list of sanctioned individuals, and said a vicious showdown could erupt if the U.S. and South Korea hold annual war games as planned next month.

Han Song Ryol, director-general of the U.S. affairs department at the North's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview that recent U.S. actions have put the situation on the Korean Peninsula on a war footing.

The United States and South Korea regularly conduct joint military exercises south of the Demilitarized Zone, and Pyongyang typically responds to them with tough talk and threats of retaliation.

Han said North Korea believes the nature of the maneuvers has become openly aggressive because they reportedly now include training designed to prepare troops for the invasion of the North's capital and "decapitation strikes" aimed at killing its top leadership.

Han says designating Kim himself for sanctions was the final straw.

"The Obama administration went so far to have the impudence to challenge the supreme dignity of the DPRK in order to get rid of its unfavorable position during the political and military showdown with the DPRK," Han said, using the acronym for North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

"The United States has crossed the red line in our showdown," he said. "We regard this thrice-cursed crime as a declaration of war."

Although North Korea had already been heavily sanctioned internationally for its nuclear weapons and long-range missile development programs, Washington's announcement on July 6 was the first time Kim Jong Un has been personally sanctioned.

Less than a week later, Pyongyang cut off its final official means of communications with Washington — known as the New York channel. Han said Pyongyang has made it clear that everything between the two must now be dealt with under "war law."

Kim and 10 others were put on the list of sanctioned individuals in connection with alleged human rights abuses, documented by the United Nations Human Rights Commission, that include a network of political prisons and harsh treatment of any kind of political dissent in the authoritarian state. U.S. State Department officials said the sanctions were intended in part to highlight those responsible for the abuses and to pressure lower-ranking officials to think twice before carrying them out.

  Hillary's tax plan for America (weep)
Posted by: 727Sky - 07-29-2016, 05:11 AM - Forum: Election 2016 ! - Replies (1)

Quote:Hillary Clinton has made clear she intends to dramatically raise taxes on the American people if elected. She has proposed an income tax increase, a business tax increase, a death tax increase, a capital gains tax increase, a tax on stock trading, and an Exit Tax, and more (see below). Her planned net tax increase on the American people is at least $1 trillion over ten years, based on her campaign’s own figures.


Hillary has endorsed many tax increases on that would hit middle income Americans, despite her pledge not to raise taxes on any American making less than $250,000. She has said she would be fine with a payroll tax hike on all Americans, she has endorsed a steep soda tax, endorsed a 25% national gun tax, and most recently, her campaign manager John Podesta said she would be open to a carbon tax. It’s no wonder she said her $250,000 tax pledge was merely a “goal.”
Hillary’s $1 trillion net tax increase takes the form of several proposals:

The bigger the government gets the more they need. It has become some kind of charity where a large percentage goes to management and not for the purpose originally stated. Anyway thought I would share her plans for all of the U.S. citizens (except possibly her donors and buds)...

Big Grin Krispy Kreme Grounds For Arrest
Posted by: LadyJae - 07-28-2016, 11:02 PM - Forum: General News and Events - Replies (12)

Every so often I run across a news article that makes me laugh and worry for our safety at the same time.  This is (obviously) one of those stories   tinywhat

Quote:Cops mistook Krispy Kreme doughnut glaze for meth, Orlando man says

Daniel Rushing treats himself to a Krispy Kreme doughnut every other Wednesday. He used to eat them in his car.

Not anymore.

Not since a pair of Orlando police officers pulled him over, spotted four tiny flakes of glaze on his floorboard and arrested him, saying they were pieces of crystal methamphetamine.

The officers did two roadside drug tests and both came back positive for the illegal substance, according to his arrest report.
He was handcuffed, arrested, taken to the county jail and strip searched, he said.

A state crime lab, however, did another test several weeks later and cleared him.

"It was incredible," he said. "It feels scary when you haven't done anything wrong and get arrested. … It's just a terrible feeling."
Rushing, 64, of Orlando was arrested about 1 p.m. Dec. 11 at Robinson Street and Parramore Avenue. He had just dropped off a neighbor at the hospital for a chemotherapy session — something he did every Friday, he said — then went to the 7-Eleven store at 938 W. Colonial Drive to give another friend a ride home, he said.

She's elderly, a church friend and works there.

The officer who made the arrest, Cpl. Shelby Riggs-Hopkins, an eight-year department veteran, had staked out the 7-Eleven because of complaints about drug activity, she wrote in her report.

She pulled over Rushing because he failed to come to a full stop before pulling out of the convenience store parking lot and because he was driving 42 mph in a 30 mph zone, according to her report.

When Rushing opened his wallet, she saw that he had a concealed weapons permit, she wrote. He told her that he had a gun, and she asked him to step out of his car, a small Chevy.

That's when she spotted "a rock like substance on the floor board where his feet were," she wrote.

"I recognized through my eleven years of training and experience as a law enforcement officer the substance to be some sort of narcotic," she wrote.

She asked for permission to search his vehicle, the report says, and Rushing agreed.

"I didn't have anything to hide," he said. "I'll never let anyone search my car again."

Riggs-Hopkins and other officers spotted three other pieces of the suspicious substance in his car, according to the report.
"I kept telling them, 'That's … glaze from a doughnut. … They tried to say it was crack cocaine at first, then they said, 'No, it's meth, crystal meth.'"

His arrest report confirms that he tried to tell them.

"Rushing stated that the substance is sugar from a Krispie Kreme Donut that he ate," Riggs-Hopkins wrote.
She booked him into the county jail on a charge of possession of methamphetamine with a firearm. He was locked up for about 10 hours before his release on $2,500 bond, he said.

According to FDLE, an analyst in its Orlando crime lab did not try to identify what police found in his car. She only checked to determine whether it was an illegal drug and confirmed that it was not.

Three days later, the State Attorney's Office in Orlando filed paperwork, saying that it was dropping the case.
Rushing, who retired after 25 years as an Orlando parks department employee, has hired a lawyer and is asking the city to pay him damages.

"I got arrested for no reason at all," he said.

He has not spelled out how much money he wants, but attorney William Ruffier says he expects to file suit next month.

The Orlando Police Department did not explain why the two drug field tests that Riggs-Hopkins conducted were wrong.

When asked how many other road-side drug tests have produced false positive results, an OPD spokeswoman wrote, "At this time, we have no responsive records. … There is no mechanism in place for easily tracking the number of, or results of, field drug testing."
FDLE spokeswoman Molly Best wrote that her agency has no information about the prevalence of false-positive field drug tests.

The New York Times reported on July 7 that its review of FDLE data showed that 21 percent of the time, drug evidence that was listed by local authorities as methamphetamine turned out to be something else.

In its statement, OPD described the arrest as a lawful one.

Wink Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life, Purpose of Human Life,
Posted by: raau - 07-28-2016, 07:55 PM - Forum: Metaphysics and Related Topics - Replies (11)

Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second )

can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ??

if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ?

that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him.
there is also next life. and i already proved you that no scientist, no politician, no so-called intelligent man in this world is able to understand this Truth. cuz they are imagining. and you cannot imagine what is god, who is god, what is after life etc.
_______
for example :Your father existed before your birth. you cannot say that before your birth your father don,t exists.

So you have to ask from mother, "Who is my father?" And if she says, "This gentleman is your father," then it is all right. It is easy.
Otherwise, if you makes research, "Who is my father?" go on searching for life; you'll never find your father.

( now maybe...maybe you will say that i will search my father from D.N.A, or i will prove it by photo's, or many other thing's which i will get from my mother and prove it that who is my Real father.{ So you have to believe the authority. who is that authority ? she is your mother. you cannot claim of any photo's, D.N.A or many other things without authority ( or ur mother ).

if you will show D.N.A, photo's, and many other proofs from other women then your mother. then what is use of those proofs ??} )

same you have to follow real authority. "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Narada, Vyasa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the acaryas have accepted. Then I'll follow.
I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished.

Why should you waste your time?
_______
all that is you need is to hear from authority ( same like mother ). and i heard this truth from authority " Srila Prabhupada " he is my spiritual master.
im not talking these all things from my own.
___________

in this world no `1 can be Peace full. this is all along Fact.

cuz we all are suffering in this world 4 Problems which are Disease, Old age, Death, and Birth after Birth.

tell me are you really happy ?? you can,t be happy if you will ignore these 4 main problem. then still you will be Forced by Nature.
___________________

if you really want to be happy then follow these 6 Things which are No illicit sex, No gambling, No drugs ( No tea & coffee ), No meat-eating ( No onion & garlic's )

5th thing is whatever you eat `1st offer it to Supreme Lord Krishna. ( if you know it what is Guru parama-para then offer them food not direct Supreme Lord Krishna )

and 6th " Main Thing " is you have to Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare ".
_______________________________
If your not able to follow these 4 things no illicit sex, no gambling, no drugs, no meat-eating then don,t worry but chanting of this holy name ( Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra ) is very-very and very important.

Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare " and be happy.

if you still don,t believe on me then chant any other name for 5 Min's and chant this holy name for 5 Min's and you will see effect. i promise you it works And chanting at least 16 rounds ( each round of 108 beads ) of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra daily.
____________
Here is no Question of Holy Books quotes, Personal Experiences, Faith or Belief. i accept that Sometimes Faith is also Blind. Here is already Practical explanation which already proved that every`1 else in this world is nothing more then Busy Foolish and totally idiot.
_________________________
Source(s):
every `1 is already Blind in this world and if you will follow another Blind then you both will fall in hole. so try to follow that person who have Spiritual Eyes who can Guide you on Actual Right Path. ( my Authority & Guide is my Spiritual Master " Srila Prabhupada " )
_____________
if you want to see Actual Purpose of human life then see this link : ( www.asitis.com {Bookmark it })
read it complete. ( i promise only readers of this book that they { he/she } will get every single answer which they want to know about why im in this material world, who im, what will happen after this life, what is best thing which will make Human Life Perfect, and what is perfection of Human Life. ) purpose of human life is not to live like animal cuz every`1 at present time doing 4 thing which are sleeping, eating, sex & fear. purpose of human life is to become freed from Birth after birth, Old Age, Disease, and Death.

‘Sexual Predator’ Lena Dunham Speaks at DNC as ‘Sexual Assault Survivor’

Quote:In a surreal mix of messages, self-described sexual predator Lena Dunham was invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention on the topic of women’s rights, despite her earlier admissions of repeated sexual advances toward her younger sister Grace beginning when she was a baby.


In her nonfiction 2014 book, Not That Kind of Girl, Dunham said she began fondling her little sister Grace when she was a one-year-old, a practice that continued over the years. She compared her behavior to that of a “sexual predator.”

“Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn’t resist,” Dunham wrote about one early episode. “This was within the spectrum of things I did,” she added.

As Grace grew, Dunham wrote, “I took to bribing her for her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a ‘motorcycle chick.’ Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just ‘relax on me.’”

“Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying,” Dunham acknowledged.

Dunham also admitted to sharing the same bed with Grace until she was seventeen, and that sometimes she “slipped my hand into my underwear to figure some stuff out” while sleeping next to her.

At the DNC, Dunham introduced herself by saying: “I am a pro-choice, feminist, sexual assault survivor with a chronic reproductive illness.” An exhaustive investigationconducted by Breitbart News showed that Dunham’s self-portrayal as a rape victim was utterly fictitious.


In her address, Dunham said that Hillary “made it possible for my fellow sexual assault survivors in my home state of New York to have access to safe, immediate care in any emergency room.”


Dunham has defended fondling her sister by insisting that “as a queer person,” normal rules of sexual propriety do not apply to her.


She said that she is committed to people narrating their own experiences and “determining for themselves what has and has not been harmful.” This rule apparently also applies to experiences inflicted on other people.


As often happens in the minds of pro-abortion advocates, a putative “right to do what I want with my body” easily carries over into a right to do what one wants with others’ bodies.

Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned"



Lena Dunham Apologizes for 'Sexual Predator' Section in Her Book

Quote:Lena Dunham is "dismayed" over the interpretation and reaction readers and critics alike have had to certain sections in her book, "Not That Kind of Girl."

"First and foremost, I want to be very clear that I do not condone any kind of abuse under any circumstances," she wrote in a statement to Time.

One section of the book in particular focuses on her relationship with her younger sister Grace when they were children. A relationship that she wrote included Dunham’s offering the then-toddler sister "three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds ... basically anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl" and how she would "carefully spread open her" sister's legs out of curiosity.


Read: Lena Dunham Cancels Appearances Amid Molestation Accusations

"Childhood sexual abuse is a life-shattering event for so many, and I have been vocal about the rights of survivors,” she told Time.
Next, the "Girls" creator released her first apology about the situation.

"If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention,” she added. “ I am also aware that the comic use of the term 'sexual predator' was insensitive, and I’m sorry for that as well.”


Dunham, 28, closed by saying her little sister Grace is her "best friend" and "anything I have written about her has been published with her approval."


The new statement comes one day after Dunham canceled two book tour dates in Europe and after critics like Kevin D. Williamson of the National Review had written negative responses to her writing on her encounters with her sister.

"There is no non-horrific interpretation of this episode," Williamson wrote about Dunham's story involving Grace.
Dunham didn't mince words after the negative press came out from what she called "right wing news."

"Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don't demean sufferers, don't twist my words, back the f*** up bros," she tweeted. "I told a story about being a weird 7 year old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I'd rather not hear."


Grace, herself, took to Twitter to add, "As a queer person: i'm committed to people narrating their own experiences, determining for themselves what has and has not been harmful. 2day, like every other day, is a good day to think about how we police the sexualities of young women, queer, and trans people."


and the response

Lena Dunham: Sexual abuse or sexual exploration?

Quote:The controversy surrounding passages in Lena Dunham's memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, is not going away.
Lawyers are involved.

And it has raised a question that's prompted a lot of debate. Specifically, what is normal when it comes to kids and sex?

USA TODAY



Lena Dunham's sister, Grace, defends sex stories



A legal team for Dunham sent a letter to TruthRevolt.org asking that it remove its story highlighting "unsettling" passages in Dunham's book.
The legal notice, sent by Los Angeles lawyer Charles Harder, claims the story is "false and fabricated, and highly defamatory."

Truth Revolt, a site run by Ben Shapiro, editor at large for Breitbart News, has not taken down the story.


"We refuse," says a response on the site.


Editors say they would welcome a deposition with Dunham in which they could ask "why she believes it is now appropriate for a 28-year-old woman to make light of opening her baby sister's vagina, paying her with candies for prolonged kisses on the lips in the manner of a 'sexual predator,' or masturbating in bed next to her prepubescent sister."

USA TODAY



Lena Dunham angry about sex abuse accusations



The Girls star was at first angry over articles that characterized her writings of her at age 7 with sister Grace, 1, as "sexual abuse." And then Dunham apologized, saying she was "sorry" if the situations in the book were "painful or triggering for people to read."

Grace tweeted a defense of her sister, writing that people should be able to determine "for themselves what has and has not been normal."

So, what IS normal?

Is it normal for a 7-year-old to look at her 1-year-old sister's vagina? Is it normal for sisters to share the same bed until ages 17 and 11? What about one bribing the other with candy for a five-second kiss on the lips?


Lachrista Greco, of a group called Guerrilla Feminism wrote, in a [url=https://www.facebook.com/guerrillafeminism/posts/762033713867259]Facebook post: "Do I think what Lena Dunham did to her sister was sexual assault? Yes. And to those of you who have defended her heinous actions, YOUR voice is silencing to many commenters who openly discussed their own experiences of incest, sexual assault, etc. ... It's NOT NORMAL. It's NOT OKAY."


At the same time, a new tumblr, Those Kinds of Girls, popped up as a response to Dunham's writings, with anonymous postings about antics similar to those described by Dunham.


In the world of sexual behavior, experts says it's not unusual.


"This type of touching and exploration is relatively common," says Debby Hebernick, associate professor in Indiana University's School of Public Health and author of Sex Made Easy. "It's common for young children to explore their own bodies and even those of friends or siblings in this way. That doesn't mean it's OK. And it's just as common for parents, teachers and caregivers to set boundaries and to teach children what's OK and what's not OK."


Hebernick didn't consider Dunham's passages titillating. . "There's not even anything sexual here," she says. "This is touching of the genitals. And the way the vast majority of times that children and adults touch their genitals has nothing to do with sex."


The American Academy of Pediatrics says parents should expect touching to happen. HealthyChildren.org, overseen by the Academy, writes in its Ages and Stagesguidelines that at 4 to 5 years of age a child might show an interest in touching "her own genitals and may even show an interest in the genitals of other children."


Susan Segal, a Washington, D.C., sex therapist who has treated many sexual abuse victims, says, "Do I think it's sexual abuse? I really don't. It's a sensitive issue, but I don't think it's abuse. I think the way she wrote about it was very flip. Seven-year-olds do get into looking at each others' bodies – that's pretty natural between 5 and 7."


Segal has watched Girls, Dunham's HBO show, and says, "When I read it, it seemed strange and sort of funny. I think she's got a droll sense of humor and got called on it around a sensitive issue."


Laura Berman, Chicago-based sex and relationship therapist and host of theUncovered radio show, says, "If it's sexual in nature, if there is the intent to arouse or be aroused, even if it's not fully articulated, then it is a gray line. It's not very black and white."


She says it's difficult to know exactly what went on based on a few passages in a book.


"We could make up a whole story of how Lena was molested. We could paint these behaviors and slant them toward red flags for sexual abuse. But they could just as easily be totally innocent, non-sexual, non-molesting exploratory behaviors." On the face of it, says Berman, "I don't think anything presented is necessarily a huge red flag."

Then a simple question to those here

Change ages and sexes and what doeas it become
if this was a male writing it?

No, it is SEXUAL Assault

Suitcase Blaze Causes Bomb Scare In Germany.
Reports of an explosion spark an armed response as Germany remains
on edge after a suicide bombing and a mass shooting.

Armed police were deployed to a centre for migrants in a German town after
reports of an explosion. Police later said they had arrived at the scene in Zirndorf
to find a suitcase on fire at around 1.15pm UK time.

There was no indication that explosives were detonated, but it is thought at least
one aerosol spray can in the suitcase may have blown up.
On their official Twitter account, police said: "no explosion, no injuries".

'I'll Blow You Up': Police Arrest Escaped Patient.
An escaped psychiatric patient who was seen in a shopping centre yelling "I'll blow you up"
has been arrested after an hours-long manhunt.

Police said the 19-year-old Algerian had fled a psychiatric facility in Lower Saxony on Wednesday
morning. Weserpark mall in Bremen was cleared in the late afternoon after the man was allegedly
spotted acting suspiciously.

Police spokesman Nils Matthiesen said at the time: "It's possible that the missing man has hidden
something in the shopping centre. It could be a device or some other dangerous item."
The man is said to have made sympathetic comments about a gunman who killed nine people in
Munich on Friday.

He also spoke about Islamic State after he was arrested previously in connection to several thefts,
but is not known to have any ties to the group.

Gunman's friend arrested for 'planning school attack'.
A 15-year-old was arrested in Baden-Württemberg on Tuesday on suspicion of planning
to carry out an attack on his school, police announced on Wednesday evening.

The boy had reportedly been in contact with Ali David Sonboly, the teenager who shot nin
people and then himself in Munich last Friday, via an online gaming forum.

Police were alerted to the boy's plans by a private individual who had been carrying out
independent research on Sonboly, they said in a statement.

...When interrogated, the boy admitted he had at one point been planning an attack on his
school, due to suffering problems in his personal and school life, but said that he had since
rejected the idea.

The 15-year-old has been taken into a youth psychiatric facility and police have confiscated
the evidence, including electronic devices. It is thought that, like Sonboly, the boy frequently
played first-person shooter video games.
