Korean script isn't a naturally-evolved written language. The king of Korea, around 1450 or so, engaged a team of scholars to create an easy-to-learn written language, since Chinese was considered too difficult to be practical for anyone except scholars. Who knew?

Weird clouds. Not too many generations ago, a cloud in the shape of Great Britain would have been considered a major omen, at least to the extent that people in those days would have been educated enough to recognize the outline.

Once again, it is demonstrated that driving a train full-throttle into a curve is perhaps not the best practice.

Date: 2017-12-21 07:40 am (UTC)The media, typically, are ignoring initial reports of a "track obstruction" as a contributing cause to the accident. Interestingly, Washington state Antifa have been known to pour cement onto train tracks for purposes of sabotage, and to brag about it openly (http://archive.is/6E74K#selection-2271.95-2271.110).

As the article points out, "Although it has not been confirmed, the mention of a track obstruction, if it were intentional, may point to domestic terrorism."
How con-veeeeen-ient that the train was said to be speeding. And if sabotage with loss of life and collateral damage is your aim, what better spot to place an obstruction than the rail line's intersection with a major interstate?

But yeah, thus far, the 'excessive speed' and 'distracted driver' explanations are simple and easy for gullible sheeple to believe, so I expect that is all they will ever let us hear about it. Unless Antifa start to brag again. If the FBI were really doing their job, and got a FISA warrant to listen in on their private communications (instead of pursuing political enemies on the right, which seems to be their primary focus nowadays), we might be able to uncover Antifa's possible role, but the FBI is too preoccupied elsewhere to even consider such a link. I thought of it even before I read it on that website, though. In fact, as soon as I heard the news, I thought, "Puget Sound Antifa." Prime target, prime opportunity, prime location for just such an act.
