Damned if we do, Damned if we don’t

It’s cargo holds were overflowing with supplies. BUT, they weren’t for making all its passengers nice and fat. NO! These pallets [...]

OOps, that’s not funny

2021: A small group of rogue Americans hijack an airplane and fly it into the Burj Al-Arab, in Dubai.  The United Arab Emirates spend the next five years invading Canada and torturing its citizens, eventually leaving over 80,000 dead.  Oops, that’s not funny.

Another 9/11 goes by…
