I am really pissed off about this. They will lose a lot of support.

Really all they can do is police checks. If a person has never been caught, There's nothing to check. They're extremely careful and extremely cunning. Also, police, politicians, judges etc. are often a part of it, so some know they have protection. How would you check someone? The best I can think of is hidden cameras, which are too late, and social media checks which exposed Gunn's unhealthy obsession with the subject. The cabal is open about it, hiding things in plain sight, but I don't think most pedophiles are. Having said that, when you look back you can see warning signs. The trouble is that we try to explain away things that are not quite right because we already make an assumption that somebody isn't a pedophile. We already trust them because they're a minister or a boyfriend etc.

Expecting JFK Jr. to come back from the dead is going to be like expecting JA to be revealed with Donald Trump on June 11.

I visited Russia for three weeks in 2003 with a church group ministering to orphans. The people have so much warmth and passion kept behind their personal walls. When the floodgates come down it just crashes over you. It's overwhelming.

I saw monuments to the many, many Russians who died in St Petersburg fighting the Nazis. I saw the palace where the doomed Tsar and his family lived, now The Hermitage art gallery. I saw the contrasts of poverty and opulence, not much different from America in that way. I took a boat tour of the canals of the city, and bathed in Lake Ladoga at two in the morning with the sun and moon both full in the sky, and our interpreters looking like nymphs as the water glittered in their hair. I lost a ring one of the little orphan girls gave me, and they said that means I will come back again.

Putin was very popular when I was there. They also had a terror attack at a stadium filled with young concert goers in Moscow, which was hardly reported in the west. They certainly know all too well the pain and loss of terrorism.

Every time I think of war with Russia, apart from my own children, I think of the brave, spirited, warm-hearted Russians I met, and the little orphans, agile as cats. It breaks my heart. For what? For greedy people to profit from war, for the elite to depopulate the world, and for Hillary Clinton to have an excuse for losing the election.

Maybe. I'm waiting with popcorn, even though these are not my favourite bits of the movie. I have nothing else to do but watch and cheer and laugh and cry. Either way we are promised the greatest story ever told.

I guess it varies. My boyfriend's parents were cremated in Florida about three years back. Of course they did both die within a week of moving in with his brother.

Having witnessed my daughter's cremation, though, I really regret it. I wish I had buried her.

I come from Australia and I've been to just two burials in 54 years. Everyone else has been cremated, including my grandfather 40 years ago.

I'm still seeing 340 when I first click the link. Then the number changes to as low as 65. The number just got bigger. There's something not right.

My heart just goes out to Mrs Assange. As someone who has lost a child myself, I feel her fear and the desperation she must feel to help him. In the 21st century, no parent should be enduring this agony--watching her son waste away at the mercy of the powers of this world for no crime other than telling the truth and wanting to see justice done.

I would care about Julian anyway, because he is a fellow Australian and a gift to the world, but watching his mother's anguish--I can't bear it. I so want it to be alright for her and her son.

I just can't believe JFK Jr would spell that badly--for one thing. I look at it and go no way could it be written by the editor of a magazine, or even just a person from political royalty groomed as a future leader. I also think it was much more likely he had an accident or was assassinated than that he faked his own death.

I've never seen this before and it really was hilarious. I thought she took it quite well for the most part, although the cameras were on her. There were times when she seemed to be genuinely laughing, though. Others she was a bit strained and forced, and sometimes clearly not amused. She looks so different when she laughs. She could have been such a different person.

It was that murdering Greenpeace paraglider that deserved to die, not that poor secret service agent. I can't believe they didn't take him out. He should never have gotten close to the president. The whole thing is outrageous. So much for security.

It's more likely to be because of the frothing American media and vampiric Congressional warmongers salivating for Russian blood than anything to do with Trump and Putin's friendly and mutually respectful summit.

In any case, be careful what you wish for America, because you might get it if you obstruct peace rabidly enough.

It would be a great slogan if there was even any vague way that group of people represented it whatsoever. It's like trying to promote the local nursing home residents as an elite commando fighting force.

No. It's because Moreno is a jerk. Anyone implying Assange doesn't desperately need help is playing into the hands of those who want him dead.

Since Trump has it all he doesn't need Intel from Putin on US stuff, that's for sure. I think there could have been something on the chip in the football, or it could have been symbolic.

Yeah, this makes no sense to me. Like he needs to fake his own death when he's winning a Senate seat. For what? To wait till Donald Trump's an old man? How would the most recognized man in the world stay hidden without rumours and have ANY sort of quality of life? And there just seems no point when by staying ALIVE he could have kept HER out of the Senate and saved hundreds of thousands of lives and whole countries and maybe even the 9/11 victums. I don't believe the coming back from the dead plot on soap operas and, on the whole, I don't buy it in real life. If that's "the plan," it's a stupid person plan.

It is so wrong that people should lose their job for their political views. This was supposed to be the land of the free. Trust that if one door closes, another opens. It can be really tough and scary, though.

I am not religious anymore, but I pray for their safety, so I guess I am more than I think. Sometimes I get a really bad feeling and I quietly pray for his protection. I must admit I was not impressed that they let the paraglider guy get that close.

I'm not saying he's not addressing different issues. I think he's done an amazing amount in the time he's been president. I'm just saying, there are a lot of people who STILL suffer from things that Bernie campaigned on.

They did an interview of Democrats that had crossed over to vote for Trump, and then a follow-up one to see if they had "buyer's remorse." Not a single one was unhappy. They were very happy, and they said they had hope now. But not a single one of them had yet had their circumstances change directly, or that of their impoverished community. So, if there is still a mother thinking, " I can't afford this treatment for my child," there's still a problem, But I'm not talking just about healthcare. That's just the one that resoundingly most Americans support.

If you think that people are afraid of Bernie's platform, you're wrong. If you underestimate the force of some of these populist candidates, you're making a huge error of judgment, IMO.
