Unknown Musician Plays ‘Imagine’ in Tribute to Victims of Paris Attacks. Very moving video.

Nothing to do with the attacks, just came across this INSANE video of a crazy guy climbing the Eiffel Tower at night. Which reminds me….what could have prevented him to wear a suicide vest & blow himself up like the others? #horror

This is the story of Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek’s creator and is one of the most moving things you will ever come across. It is told in a series of comics and it ends with: “This story is intended to remind you that our journeys are short. Roddenberry saw life’s ephemeral nature lit up against a backdrop of stars. He saw that we are all passengers pitching downward into the night. He saw that we’re all helpless. So get up, and help someone”.

  I could have made a separate post and ended it with “Which one is your favorite” but I didn’t 🙂

Thanks for posting, I know it is not an easy time to do so, we appreciate your dedication.

Just wanted to make sure you saw my comment follow up from Friday, my guest post in FTG was from 6 1/2 yrs ago, also known as “pre-douche-FTG” days, the site that is.

Cheers,

PedroNY

From The Guardian

Saudi Arabia is the world’s largest source of funds for Islamist militant groups such as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton. “More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups,” says a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state. [Then-Sec.-of-State Hillary Clinton’s] memo urged US diplomats to redouble their efforts to stop Gulf money reaching extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan. “Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide,” she said. Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The cables highlight an often ignored factor in the Pakistani and Afghan conflicts: that the violence is partly bankrolled by rich, conservative donors across the Arabian Sea whose governments do little to stop them. The problem is particularly acute in Saudi Arabia, where militants soliciting funds slip into the country disguised as holy pilgrims, set up front companies to launder funds and receive money from government-sanctioned charities.

Maybe stop flying Saudi, Qatar, Emirates and Eithad, herm?

  Just when I was about to book that Emirates trip for the onboard shower….just kidding.
  
  It’s a multi dimensional problem, will not be solved in our lifetime most likely.
