Mississippi river crests in Memphis

This past Monday, the Mississippi river flooded on it's way to Memphis. Reports on the damage caused are many, but the truth is, that the wreckage was not extreme. Only some lowlife neighbourhoods were flooded and thankfully, the water did not reach record levels and left the main part of Memphis intact. According to Bob Nations, coordinator of Preparedness against adversity in Memphis the river crested at 47.8 feet falling short a foot and a half from record mark. The river is scheduled to stay at this same water level until later in the week and the water will recede slowly through the destruction it wrought. According to specialists, at least 3000 homes and properties were flooded, and there were no drowned or injured citizens.


It is my sincere opinion that raging rivers like the Mississippi right now, should be kept in check and be readied for. I wish to congratulate the Memphis Town Council for it's successfulness in not loosing one single life in such dangerous passings. Overall, great job done.

Bin Laden death recap

Was he unarmed or not? Did he use his wife as a human shield or not? The inquiries about Osama Bin Laden’s death rise as fast as Obama’s support in the US. It has been affirmed by the president’s chief antiterrorism advisor, John O. Brennan that the suspect at hand was unarmed when encountered and shot through the head twice. Some account to the fact that Bin Laden used his wife as a human shield to protect himself from the SEALS’ searing and accurate bullets. Other sources claim that Bin Laden’s wife rushed the navy seals as they were going onto the compounds second floor and that the situation at that time demanded she be shot in the leg and silenced. Mr. Brennan has also revealed that the navy Seals encountered heavy fire on the first floor of the compound, and that Osama Bin Laden had been there when the American units had entered. It is under scrutiny and an inspecting eye, that the interrogators are trying to find out if Bin Laden got any rounds off or not.

Personally, I don’t really believe that Bin Laden’s death is such a big deal. I know the SEALS were under instructions of taking him alive if possible and that circumstances demanded his death, but all this talk about whether he was armed or not isn’t really necessary. I believe that the allied forces should now concentrate in eradicating Al Qaeda and forgetting about Bin Laden’s death.

Bin Laden in eternal slumber in the sea

This past April 31^st, 2011, the arguably most famous hide and seek game has reached its end. With cooperation with the Pakistani government, US navy SEALS entered Osama bin Laden’s defense compound last night at 1 pm Teheran time and killed the perpetrator of perhaps the most world renowned terrorist acts in the globe. Apparently, the leader of the world’s most feared terrorist organization was residing in a heavily armed compound in Abbottabad, a garrison city two hours by road north of Islamabad. It has been made clear that the navy SEALS entered the compound under cover in the dead of night. Among the killed are Bin Laden’s son and one of his wives. The U.S government in cooperation with the Pakistani government and the SEALS dropped Bin Ladens deceased body somewhere in the middle of the Indic Sea.

I believe this to be a cause for world rejoice and happiness. Although it is true that every man has the right to live even after perpetrating foul acts, I think it more than clear that an exception had to be made in this case. Osama bin Laden, destroyer of the Twin Towers and mastermind of all the terrorist acts against countries like Spain and England has pade the prize with the ultimate currency, his life.

Criminal attack in Cafe in Marrakech leaves 18 deaths

This past night, in Marrakech (Morocco) an organized criminal act left a building in the Argana district in smoking heaps and 18 corpses. Of all of the defunct people half of them were foreigners, although their nationality has not yet been revealed.

A forensic investigation is taking place as well as a search and capture warrant for any suspicious looking men or women who might have been involved in the planned attack. The bombing left the Argana café in a crumpled pile of stone and wood and it is very unlikely that it will be repaired. Even so, nearby witnesses claim to have seen employees and customers inside the café go down beneath the ceiling falling on them. It is a real foul act to commit such an act in a place like Argana. The Argana district was declared a patrimony to human culture by UNESCO in 2011.

I firmly stand by the belief that such foul acts should happen in this world regardless of where or why. It is not in a person’s or group of people’s right to commit such a inhuman terrorist attack on innocents having a drink in a local café.

Gadafi launches new offensive to acquire Misrata

The state in Lybia has been like a roiling maelstrom, it has changed without warning, from supposedly having Gadafi bottled up and harmless to the same man controlling most of Lybia and looking to have it all.

The rebel troops in the port city of Misrata have reported that Muamar Gadafi’s new objective is Misrata itself. The former’s troops bombed the town this same day and caused 3 deaths and at least 10 injuries. The rebels stand strong in the face of battle and keep on training new recruits during these harsh times. Rebel representatives have reported the situation to be over the border of dire, with corpses of soldiers lying around in buildings and the street. This further endangers the common populace as fearful diseases take hold when rot and death are around. The Rebels are gathering for a push in the enemy line and be able to defeat Gadafi’s mercenary troops and soldiers.

My opinion in all of this, is that the war should be resolved as soon as possible. Citizens should not be expected to have to put up with such a dismal life quality as the one in Lybia right now. You can’t just have corpses of dead soldiers lying around in the streets, it just doesn’t happen.

I sincerely hope this conflict is solved soon, for the good of Lybia.

Japanese nuclear crisis put on par with Chernobyl

As we all should know, a huge tragedy happened in Japan during March. The 9,1 seismic earthquake on the Richter Scale not only decimated buildings and killed people but it brought in one of the most dangerous of natures natural phenomenon: a tsunami. The tsunami all but finished the work the earthquake started destroying whole towns and killing more than 20,000 people. This would have been it, but to throw some more sauce into the triumvirate, the tsunami broke the refrigerating system of the nuclear plants in Fukushima creating a yet more alarming nuclear crisis in Japan. Yesterday, April 11 the Japanese prime minister asked his people and the world itself for some calm after the government raised the nuclear crisis state from a 5 to 7 out of 7, the maximum in an international scale.

Contrary to this the prime minister assures that the situation of the nuclear plants has improved, however Japanese regulators affirm that after assessing radiation leaks in one of the plants it was paramount to raise the level of alertness.

I believe it is of the utmost importance to send aid to Japan after the tremendous and horrific last month they have gone through. If they situation were to be even graver than before the world must fall in with Japan.

Mad ex-student kills 13 pupils and injures 18

On this past 7^th of April a horrid event took place in a small public school in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. A 24 year old, ex-student entered the school gun in hand and randomly started shooting pupils, travelling progressively from class to class. The shooting left 13 dead children and at least 18 injuries. The killing happened sometime between 8 15 and 8 30 in the morning. According to some sources, the killer arrive well dressed and insisted he was going to take part in an educational speech. After that, he briefly talked to some old acquaintances and teachers. Once he got to the intended classroom, he opened fire. The killer shot himself in the head while surrounded by a group of policemen. After he was searched the investigators found a letter with instructions for his burial which according to the head of the police department make no sense. It was later revealed that the killer had suffered from bullying in the school and decided to take revenge on innocents.

It is my firm opinion that these are the worst defilements of human nature. Killing young children, innocents with no relation to the killer’s bad luck is a very sad thing. The influence of this event does not go unnoticed to the other pupils who escaped. Many of them, very young will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. Overall, I am shocked and very sad for every family that had to suffer through such an unjust thing.
