Programed Distractions - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins
*Our lost boys and girls* *Taught weakness in all it's forms* *Programed distractions* *© ** 2019 M.N. Hopkins* *Note: This poem was inspired by a dream I had of mentally ill and emotionally ill adults sexually abusing children. In the dream I took one of the children on my lap and did a healing of him with my hands. It will take more than education and therapy to heal all the broken children who have become the victims of perverted and degenerative ideologies.* *I wrote and published this poem in the haiku style of poetry for the first time today on my blog, the 30th... more »
See This Old 1911 9mm Gun? The U.S Marshals Love It.
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * [image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistol#/media/File:M1911A1.png] If it's not broken, don't fix it. *Key Point:* It's affordability and lightweight design have more of a role than its shooting ability. As more and more federal agencies adopt various variations on the Glock pistol, the recent adoption of the STI 2011 by the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group (USMS SOG) stands out.

Netanyahu's Iran Strategy Is a Total Failure
*Uri Bar-Joseph, Benny Miller* *Security, Middle East* Seen today, Netanyahu’s decade-long reign has left Israel more isolated than ever before in its struggle against an Iranian regime that perceives the Jewish state as its main regional enemy. Benjamin Netanyahu’s return to power in March 2009 radically changed Israel’s foreign policy strategy. Since the establishment of the state in 1948, the country focused on the conflict with its Arab neighbors. From the early 1990s onwards, including during Netanyahu’s first term in office (1996–1999), it centered on the conflict with the ... more »
