Yesterday we were joking that 7/7 had to occur; 7/7/16, being ina way, 7/7/7 - we said it would be too tempting NOT to have a terror attack. And the US is more of a target than anywhere right now. It is the goal. Paris, Bangaldesh, even Mecca, these are only warmups.
The US is the prize. ISIS or any other group has its sights on the Land of Liberty.
And at 11pm New York time, as I was in the Port Authority, with people glaring at each other, cops poised to go into action, a drummer reciting the names of Eric Garner and all the other slain African Americans, something terrible happened.
It
was not in the Big Apple as would be expected; people here were
breating a sigh of relief that the 4th of July had passed with only a
small device blowing off a man's foot (except for the head of the City
Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito who is so sick and crazy that she wants
to let violence loving terrorists who did in fact kill Americans on the
4th out of jail, but that is another story, one of these
only-in-New-York kind of things that noone in the UK would ever believe
until they google it...).
It happened not far from the 22/11/1963 incident in which a US president was left cold in earth by a sniper; or snipers. Yesterday
snipers peppered the sea of blue with a hail of bullets; five dead,
seven wounded. One shot execution stuyle in the back.
Black-on-white
and and black-on-blue all turned into a river of blood;
red, white, blue and black just after the 4th of July. It rained, it
poured, with thunder in the night turning into hours of negotiations,
sniping, shooting, and finally a robot with a bomb to end the gentle
discussion part and bring the horror to an end. One dead sniper and his
accomplices cuffed. Interrogation begins. A new file is opened at the
FBI.
Closure? The New York Post says war; Civil War.
The tension along with heatwave in New York sets in motion a dissonance of tones for the city of 9/11.
And
yes, there are a few who are asking if maybe, just maybe, these snipers
were instigated by a secret hand looking to start destruction in the
US. Maybe, maybe not, but it is best to look at this when it is fresh
and keep a record. A new file. Still no closure. Red white and blue at half mast.
In
the distance a drumbeat, faint but steady. War is in the air. Civil
War, they call it. Grey is the rainbow hanging heavy in the sky.

In times like this we need not the careless hand of a sexual predator as is Hillary Clinton, but the experienced hand of a man who is on record for asking for greater checks on who gets guns and who does not. As we sober from the shock, may we vote for the best person to heal this country and not let the Post headlines become true.
