I hope you had a great week and will have an even better weekend. Let's get started!
NEWS Headlines:
As wars around the world rage on I site back and reflect on life. I am really concerned with how many people align themselves with evil. Then again maybe we have to define our terms. It appears world leaders do not fully understand the situation they find themselves in as we can see from his latest remarks.
President Biden: "It is impossible to return to the status quo of before October 7, the next step - the two-state solution."
World leaders think this war is about land or treaties. They are denying that this is a holy war—a religious war. The secular mind does not comprehend it.
We should all want peace. Peace also cannot be at the cost of freedom. The freedom for a country to defend itself against a genocidal ideology that worships death. This war in the middle east is not only Israel’s war—its a war on humanity. This cannot be ignored or reasoned with.
Chancellor of Austria: From now on the call "From the river to the sea Palestine will be free" will be considered a call to murder and will be criminally investigated.
The Israeli General Security Service reveals: This is how a telephone conversation between a terrorist from Hamas organization and his father sounded during the deadly terrorist attack that occurred on 07.10.2023. —Amir Tsarfati
Let’s not forget that the people that believe this ideology (radical Islam) are really in a death cult. We should pray for them so they will change thier lives before its too late.
As we get closer to rememberance day on November 11 we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to hold evil back. It seems like every passing year I see less people at the rememberance day ceromonies. The wars that have sparked up in the last two years and at the time of this writing appear to have the capability of starting WWW3 should be a chilling warning to us all. Peace is a fragile thing. Afterall our countries are not physical objects but ideas. The idea that we can cooperate and live in peace with one another.

Tech Tip of the week:
News-Checking 101
**1. Who's Telling the Story?** First off, see where the news is coming from. Cross check sources!
**2. Picture Perfect or Just Photoshop?** Some folks love using fake or old photos to spice up their stories. Tools like Google's reverse image search or TinEye can help you figure out if that pic has been around the block a few times or if it's legit.
**3. Time Travel Isn't Real (Yet lol):** Check out the dates in the story. Sometimes, people dig up old news and act like it just happened. Don't fall for that time warp!
**4. Location, Location, Location:** If the story's about a specific spot, give it a quick look on Google Earth or see what local news has to say about it. Helps to know if it's the real deal or just some made-up place.
**5. Social Media Deep Dive:** Take a peek at the profiles sharing the news on social platforms. If they look sketchy or are all about that drama, take their stories with a grain of salt. Tools like TweetDeck can also help you see what's trending and why.
**6. Fact-Checker to the Rescue:** Websites like Snopes or PolitiFact are like those friends who always know if something's true or just a tall tale. They're great for a quick reality check. (although they can make mistakes too)
**7. Who Owns the Website Anyway?** If you stumble upon some random website with "breaking news," tools like WHOIS can give you the scoop on who's behind it. If it's super new, be a bit wary.
**8. Ask the Pros:** If something sounds super technical or out there, it doesn't hurt to ask someone in the know. A quick chat with an expert can clear things up in no time.
And there you have it! In today's wild world of news, a little OSINT know-how can go a long way. Stay curious and always double-check! 😉🔍
