According to a poll carried out by ICM for the Russian news agency Rossiya Segodnya, 16% of French citizens and 24% of French youth 18-24 are "sympathetic" to the aims of ISIS. Meanwhile, French president Francois Hollande’s approval rating is just 18%. The same poll showed that 6% of British and 4% of Germans support ISIS, with that support tending to skew older rather than younger. Newsweek’s France Correspondent, Anne-Elizabeth Moutet, said, “This is the ideology of young French Muslims from immigrant backgrounds, unemployed to the tune of 40%, who’ve been deluged by satellite TV and internet propaganda.” The increase in anti-semitism in France is also believed due to the size of the Muslim population group.read more

Islamic terrorists have carried out horrific attacks across the City of Light, leaving at least 153 innocent people dead, most of them at a rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall where the California group Eagles of Death Metal were giving a concert. This was the largest of a co-ordinated group of attacks across the city, and there is no certainty that the attacks are over either in France or elsewhere. American Airlines has suspended flights to Paris, but so far no other airlines have followed suit. Yesterday in the US, there were numerous laser attacks on aircraft, but no damage was reported and none of the pilots involved were blinded. Whether this was part of a larger worldwide attack is unknown.read more

This is a copy of a chapter from a US Air Force Academy physics textbook published in 1968, prior to Project Blue Book and the 1970 announcement that the Air Force would no longer take an interest in UFOs. It is an informative and fascinating publication, and shows that not only did the Air Force take an interest, they went about it very intelligently. Too bad that has been lost.
