"Today, we are in a new era, testing whether the democratic banner can remain aloft amid terrorism, sectarian conflicts, vulnerable borders, rogue social media and the cynical schemes of ambitious men. The answer is not self-evident. We may be encouraged that most people in most countries still want to live freely and in peace, but there is no ignoring the storm clouds that have gathered. In fact, fascism — and the tendencies that lead toward fascism — pose a more serious threat now than at any time since the end of World War II."

You are exactly correct and I agree with you 100%. I also want to take this time to apologise to you because of what I said in a previous post. I looked up our transatlantic cables and read in Newsweek that many of us do not know that 99% of all data still travels this way even in our widely digital age. This includes Internet as well as phones overseas. It means I was wrong and we should take submarines gathering around our transatlantic cables very seriously.
We do not know what they are doing or when and if they may choose to knock our communications system out. Indeed the storm clouds are gathering.
