That was exactly what I was worried about when I heard the Hawaii report--could this have been a hack? Of course, we were told and continue to be told it was 'human error," nothing to see here.

Now Japan.

No one wants to be crazy paranoid but . . . we know adversaries are making a concerted effort to breach our infrastructure. We know the Trumpster is refusing to do anything to counter the on-going foreign cyber-probing/attacks. We also know The Donald is unstable.

This is not a good combination.

In addition to all this, a Serbian official was assassinated this morning, cancelling the EU meetings for some sort of resolution between the Serb and Albanian governments.

There's a lot of mayhem going on around the world. I suspect it wraps itself around: who benefits from creating incessant turmoil and anxiety?

I have a few candidates in mind
