CARNAGE


CARNAGE


JOURNAL ENTRY,22/03/2016, 19:19 hrs., PDT, Tuesday, my place, 19°C drizzle, Mood 40/60

Its not often that I let events on the other side of the world affect my mood. The bombings in Brussels by a group of religious fanatics determined to terrify us into their belief system and impose it to the detriment of our hard own democratic civil rights and replace it with a physically repugnant form of religion.

One question never seems to be asked. Who is financing this?

The other is that it seems like most of the perpetrators are from he same neighbourhood, first or second generation immigrants from Morocco. The area bombed in this case is within walking distance and has provided many of the foreign fighters travelling to the middle east in Syria, Iraq and Libya.

Surely this should have set off alarm bells with the security services of the EU and in Belgium. Then there is the problem of how much surveillance is too much. The problem is not that the information means nothing, its who is doing the analysis and how do you search through the mountains of data that is accumulated and available?

A sad day for the world.
