No shortage on conflict

- U.S. drone attacks have killed 18, then 26 Somalis in 2 consecutive days. Meanwhile, the Kenyan Army is now in Somalia, going after militants.

- Kurdish rebels killed 26 soldiers in Hakkari, located in SE Turkey. After 2 days of punishing airstrikes, Turkish ground forces have now crossed into Iraq in pursuit of more Kurdish rebels.

- Pakistan is looking to boost its ties with Iran.
- U.S. forces have created a stir by massing at the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Initial reports are that this is a cooperative arrangement between U.S. and Pakistani forces to combat Taliban militants. Hilary Clinton is putting great pressure on Pakistan to combat militants in their nation. I see this as another run-up to war, claiming that Pakistan is overrun by militants, and is therefore a danger to neighboring countries.

- U.S. and Israel launch new phase of cyber warfare. This could be part of the lead-up to war with Iran. A few days ago, http://www.infowars.com/ had an article on U.S. Navy & troop buildup in the Persian Gulf. The article was up for 1 day, then vanished! Haven't seen any others on the subject.

From October 17-19 there were 9 reports of 5.0 magnitude quakes or larger. Smaller, more persistent tremors have been coming from the Mt. Rainier, Washington State area. The concern here is that a volcano may be becoming active.

Keep in touch for more updates!
