The Paris tragedy clearly showed the world that the war on terror has gone global. If that had not already been made clear by terror bombings in Baghdad, Beirut, and the Russian airliner in recent weeks, it was hammered home by Paris.
Israeli media (debka.com) reports that no western intelligence picked up any signs of the attack plan. The grim message to the world: It could happen anywhere.

Hood terrorist on the U.S. Army payroll, the Boston Marathon attack, several “lone wolf” terrorist attacks, and now Paris.
Anyone who has a shred of faith in government’s ability to thwart Muslim terrorists is living in willful ignorance. “Put not your faith in princes,” is the sage advice of Scripture.

If that is true, it is all about corn futures.
If not, Iowa does not matter.
good time to buy
Yes, and the price of gasoline is trending downward.
“It’s mighty quiet out there, Joe.”
“Yeah...a little TOO quiet.”
May buy some more cartwheels or junk silver. That has to be a better barter means than gold.
Junk silver makes sense. Any king of rounds. I like junk Morgans, they’re such a good looking coin.
