but.terrorists kill women and children and men." Something is strange about this conversation of the woman who miraculously survived while crawling away from a terrorist shooting everybody else in the building...hmm...Good Point. "And Edward Snowden? We like Edward Snowden we think that he is a good guy." Should Angela Merkle let him into Germany? "No if Angela Merkle let Edward Snowden into Germany it would start a war." I come from a little village says Fabian. I would love to see San Francisco and Los Angelos and LAs Vegas. I do a apprenticeship in Regensburg. And my village doesn´t even have a pub or restaurant! Are the police nice? In my opinion yes yes they´re nice."
Below is a fellow from Regensburg who works on Tractors. It is a private company that owns these tractors and he says "Yes I think so" the police are nice but funny stories about these? He doesn´t think they´re funny. He would love to travel to Washington DC and see the Blue Angels Maximillian says!
Why is it always with such sadness that we must persue greatness?
In responding to yesterday´s massacre of the French Cartoonists...why is it the only ones who are targeted are the ones who risk sticking their necks out and going against the main stream of society...I guess it is safe to say if you sit in your little home in middle America somewhere in Nebraska nobody will ever come to assasinate you in numbers and let the world know about you, but then again nobody in the world will know about you.
There was a movie that I loved it is named Three Days of the Condor...the most disturbing thing about yesterday´s attacks is the way it was planned almost like Three Days of the Condor or when Michael in the Godfather wants to know where his driver is and his new wife gets blown up...you know like where was the security for these people and the way they ran after this police man and shot him down...like they were hunting and chasing him...so disturbing all in all. The Cia has on its website a tribute to its fallen members...and you always wonder how they knew these people and how they knew who they were...etc. it is very disturbing and sad.
The girl to the left says, "I am a singer. I am studying at the Music College vocal study. " When I say that I just met Robert down below who is a singer songwriter she says that "Yes maybe I try to find him and we can do songs with each other..." I say that is maybe how Paul McCartney started out finding a cool song and singing it! The pretty red head says, "I am studying Latin and Religious study... but I am way to busy at night always with practice and therefore I can not go to the Christmas Markets!" she says . When I ask if she studys at the church her religious study at night she looks at me puzzled....? What! "No no I do volleyball at night. The big league. No I don´t do religious church study!" as if I am crazy to ask! " I do volleyball every night. I love volleyball!" Um okay! 
"I am from Schwarzenfeld..." says Sophie one of 3 pictured here. "We´re okay how do you say? We´re all studying in college but we don´t know if it is what we want to do. We don´t want to tell you what we´re studying..." Okay raised my curiousity....tell tell, "Okay we´re studying to law school! But we want to do something else!" they say. I say that they should all become actors. And when I try to help these three way too giggly girls studying boredom law meet other people they all admit to having cool boyfriends already...okay so much for my matchmaking abilities! "We all love Tequila as our favorite shots and Mexico as the favorite place to go and the thing that we love about Mexico is...the round hats..." they say as they make circles around their heads... Sombreros? I say... "Yes Sombreros! We love Sombreros."!

Milan during the fashion show is astounding...I had been brought there by a friend for the fashion week and during the visit I met with several fashion designer advertising directors to talk about advertising in the yachting magazines. While I had been at the Monaco Yacht show I had a press pass and had access to all of the newspaper journalists and magazine publishers and noticed that hardly any of the yachting magazines had high end fashion in them for advertising purposes! I could barely believe it! Here were the people that shelled out $1 million to $158 million per yacht and rarely some higher and you know if these people bought top of the line marble and tile for their yachts along with every toy imaginable that they would definetly be the ones shelling out $100,000.00 's of dollars for top of the line designers and cars and plastic surgery and every other little luxury you could think of...I tried to engage the yachting magazines with new ideas for their advertising such as luxury goods you know the rolexes and the guccis and the judith leibers etc. And while at the Milan fashion show week I met with the top fashion designer's advertising executives but the real cool thing about Milan is that when you walk down the cobblestoned streets where all of the real cool shops are situated you see all of the fashion designers milling about outside smiling at you & chatting, it is astounding and very sweet!

A "profanity-laced screaming match" at the White House involving CIA Director Leon Panetta, and the expected release today of another damning internal investigation, has administration officials worrying about the direction of its newly-appoint intelligence team, current and former senior intelligence officials tell ABC News.com. Amid reports that Panetta had threatened to quit just seven months after taking over at the spy agency, other insiders tell ABCNews.com that senior White House staff members are already discussing a possible shake-up of top national security officials. You can expect a larger than normal turnover in the next year," a senior adviser to, Obama, on intelligence matters told ABCNews.com. Since 9/11, the CIA has had five directors, or acting directors, A White House spokesperson, Denis McDonough, said reports that Panetta had threatened to quit and that the White House was seeking a replacement were "inaccurate."
According to intelligence officials, Panetta erupted in a tirade last month during a meeting with a senior White House staff member. Panetta was reportedly upset over plans by Attorney General Eric Holder to open a criminal investigation of allegations that CIA officers broke the law in carrying out certain interrogation techniques that President Obama has termed "torture."A CIA spokesman quoted Panetta as saying "it is absolutely untrue" that he has any plans to leave the CIA. As to the reported White House tirade, the spokesman said Panetta is known to use "salty language." CIA spokesman George Little said the report was "wrong, inaccurate, bogus and false, can anyone pass the fucking salt?"
Emails
Investigation by CIA Inspector General
Another source of contention for Panetta was today's public release of an investigation by the CIA inspector general on the first two years of the agency's interrogation and detention program. The report has been delayed by an internal administration debate over how much of the report should be kept secret.
One CIA official said colleagues involved in the interrogation program were preparing for a far-reaching criminal investigation.
In addition to concerns about the CIA's reputation and its legal exposure, other White House insiders say Panetta has been frustrated by what he perceives to be less of a role than he was promised in the administration's intelligence structure. Panetta has reportedly chafed at reporting through the director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, according to the senior adviser who said Blair is equally unhappy with Panetta.
Other Candidates for the Job
The New York Times reported Thursday that the CIA had planned to use the private security contractor Blackwater to carry out assassinations of al Qaeda leaders.
Six other current and former senior intelligence officials said they too had been briefed about Panetta's frustrations in the job, including dealing with his former Democratic colleagues in the House of Representatives. One of the officials said the White House had begun informal discussions with candidates who were runners-up to Panetta in the CIA director selection process last year. One of the candidates reportedly has begun a series of preparatory briefings. "It would be a shame if such as talented a Washington hand as Panetta were to leave after one year

When you walk the canals of Venecia at night... you feel so eeire and haunted...it is because it is haunted with ghosts of all of the people who lived here. They had their own thoughts of why they thought that ghosts roamed the alleys and canals late at night here is mine...
Sanding amidst the haunted ruins of a passion glory and splendor of days of yore ive alwayus wante to say that...days of yore...it is one of hte many canals tiney alleys that once inhabited murder where horrendous things took place a man on horseback riding for his life carenning down the stairs sliding slipperry moss covered the horse wildly bucking floundering in the water..Hey i said haunted as at the wedding of isabel medici with all of the protestant guests murdered by catherine medici...okay now while staring at the waters and the bricks of the building across from me at the lovely city of venice i see the walls fawn brick red old wooden doors with iron clad windows 3 stories high theirs 8 stairs 5 feet wide the 3rd one is moss coveredTHe man struggling to reach the other side desperate as his attacker closes in he tries clawing his way to pullup to the other side his fingernails pulling off as he pulls himup his leg 1-2 way up he makes it his attaacker swims in the water after him reaches him pulls him down into the water...The night is dark it is 1 am there is a tiny wooden door a barnyard style its bottom 1-2 way up 6 inches jagged green and rusted wood his chin hits the cement and he goes down into the dreary murky sinister death canal where he must of lain to rest...i imagine it to have been that way with the political stakes so high and all of the deals made behind the ones in powers back...That is Venice both beauteous and sad because the 1000s of ghosts of its turbulent violent history roam the alleys seeking justice you can feel their heaviness as you walk it drains the soul as Venices beauty inspires it is the definition of yes, it is beautiful it is lovely yet ther is something about it something not quite right because you feel their sadness tha they died that their is nothing you could do to help ghem i once saw the man at Firenze walking he had long grey hair to his shoulders big muscled perfedct i thought it might be David having escaped from the museum with big btown eyes long shoulder hair his beauty stopped me and i thought am i the only one seeing that man is it some kind of ghost that is how beauty affects the soul. I of course went to Florence many times to that place yet i only saw him walking that one day maybe it is because the spirits knew i couldnt justify going into the museum to see David or maybe the time i had see him many years before it is just after the man hit his toe with a hammer and they had to reconstuct it that is how my grandmother agnes told me of it...One night at Barcelona on my way to Virgin Airways i thought i saw his face how strange life is...or maybe it is Castaglayes they kinda look alike...that is venice if you wait long with silence at the little alley ways you can see and feel the way of the ones who made venice their home a long time ago.
