I always loved the idiom “castles in the air.” It means “extravagant hopes and plans that will never be carried out.” Until the summer of 2015, I thought that all optimistic forecasts for the Middle East were castles in the air. Now, it’s clear that not only will there be peace, it’s going to happen…
Arab and allied troops training in the US again?
April 22, 2016
Yesterday I wrote about seeing a massive number of military jet transports flying to and from US Air Force bases here in Southern California.

The military exercises held in the American Southwest during the summer of 2015 prove that the conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the JFK…
The sky is filled with armies
October 5, 2015
I’ve always been a sky-watcher. As a child I wanted to fly to the clouds and walk among them. What you need to know is that the sky is filled with armies. The imagery comes from the poet Stephen Crane, an artist whose work saved my life. Once a man clambering to the housetops Appealed…
