Many in France are impatiently awaiting the trial of the century, regarding the 2015 French Terrorist Attacks. While everybody know that event made me more upset than ever in my entire life, the investigation has come to a sad conclusion. It appears that while the terrorists pouted that they were Islamic Fundamentalists, it appears that it all had to do with trafficking, especially “the Jewish Cartels who can hide in plain sight, hence, “Hypercacher””) It’s a very sad turn of event, inexcusable, and I demand that the GIGN puts these terrorists in prison for life. There is no excuse to kill innocent civilians, not to mention, this took place at the almighty beloved Stade de France, and concert venues. I mean, I live across the Atlantic Ocean in America, and I was traumatized. I can’t even fathom how those who were in Paris felt. It was an extremely sad day in France, and the GIGN vowed never to be messed with like that ever again. Thank you for bringing them to justice. I mean I really wanted to go all berserk on those guys.

I think the Democrats need to EXTREMELY careful when dealing with the Republicans. The Stalemate in Washington D.C. is extremely scary. If things don’t get better, we’re going to get stuck in the “Biff dark scenario” where COVID-19 continues to kill more hundreds of thousands of Americans. President Biden must expedite his mandate to get everybody vaccinated so that we finally have herd immunity. Do you want to return to normal, or do you want COVID-19 to last the next decade? Once everybody gets vaccinated, then we can feel more safe. Also, as long as everything goes well, young children will be vaccinated just in time before Halloween. C’mon, Pfizer & Moderna & Johnson & Johnson! Get to it! Parents want to get back to normal soon!

I’ve included a video below about Israel The Bully. As you know Israel Apartheid has been going on for so many years, and now as much censorship they attempt, they cannot ignore the fact that The U.N. Security Council knows that they murdered children, that the ICC wants to punish Bibidi Netanyahu, a war criminal who finally no longer is Prime Minister. He can no longer hide behind his job. He will face trial, he will go to jail.

I believe it’s important not to underestimate the Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan. The fact that a lot of people are out of work is disheartening. The prices of Food have gone up. The currency value has gone down and exchange to the U.S. Dollar has skyrocketed. The Future is dark and people are afraid, people want to leave. We’ve all watched The Kite Runner movie. The Taliban are already returning to their old ways. Women can’t go to school and it’s become quite problematic. Women can’t go to the office. The salaries have decreased. A issue dear to me is that MSF needs more doctors and nurses to make healthcare more comfortable for women in Afghanistan, because there are more comfortable talking to women in Hospitals. It is imperative that priority one is that the State Department finds a good way to reopen the banks in Afghanistan in a safe matter because common Afghans want to be able to buy food and wood for the winter that is fast approaching us. Dear Secretary of State Blinken, find a way to do this without the Taliban receiving access to the funds. I can do my best to work in conjunction with fellow democrats, but for republicans, please refer to Heather N. — Also, there are still plenty of more flights needed out of the country for refugees, Afghan Translators, SIVs, etc. As Always, head over to TEAM RUBICON & #NoLBMoralObligation.

I thank you for your attention.

Until Next Time!

So I got a Razer Xbox controller because I needed one to play certain XBOX PC games such as Forza Horizon and Halo. The controller works great but I still prefer the PS5 controller, as I impatiently wait for the day when Playstation 5 systems are available at RETAIL prices. Hopefully, this decision calms down the Console Wars. Heck, I’m gonna want a Nintendo Switch someday too because they’re bringing back Advance Wars after so many years of waiting.

I’m watching Red vs Blue again because, apparently, there are new seasons, including the latest one which looks extremely good.

I understand everybody’s mind is on the new month coming upon us, October. I am glad to give a sneak peek at my book club which will include books on Supply Chain Management & Logistics, because it is an EXTREMELY important topic right now, and we really all need to have a huddle.

Dear Firefighters, please remain in good spirit. You’ve done it, you’ve survived the summer. It’s about to be October. I will ask Poseidon for some rain, he must resolve our California Drought.

I understand that INTERPOL would like a presentation on the “Mafia-Operating-Super-System-AD-vertising” (MOSSAD). Please tell Lyon HQ that we can set up a conference call at Jurgen’s leisure.

Until Next Time!
