"activities designed to prevent or thwart spying, intelligence gathering, and sabotage by an enemy or other foreign entity."-counter intelligence.

Is it a case of politicians becoming complacent and thus not keeping their finger on the pie.

Especially the world powers.

Or.

Is it a case of turning a blind eye.

Blatantly obvious there are more sheep on the ground than free thinking individuals.

The scariest state of affairs is war. For then it is the survival of the fittest...and picking up a gun becomes a forced evil.

No matter how u turn this one around.....scary.

Just_Saying was saying,
"as the ultimate aim of the puppet masters behind the scenes, is to cause a Christian/Muslim divide world wide, which is now being realized."
This morning I was was scanning through news channels from CNN to BBC to Sky to Aljazeera to RT listening to discussions on the latest attacks, only to hear a US Governor saying,
"not all Muslims are Islamist radicals".
Bear in mind there are about 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide.
The divide is in full swing !

As long as people have the attitude of
"we don't want to have anything to do with them"
our stereotypical notions of each other will persist.

@Honeybear, Yip indeed it is in full swing already...To name but 2 recent incidents: (there are many, many more, even prior to Paris attacks)

Trump who wants to create a database of Muslims in US and propose they carry identity cards which states their religion - Reminds me of Nazi Germany

And of course reporters of mainstream media are doing their bit to solidify the division, eg CNN anchors John Vause and Isha Sesay,blatantly blaming Muslim citizens in France for not preventing the terror attacks.

@Ben Layden, very well put and very true indeed!
