ISIS Burns Its Bridges

I think it should be clear to everyone in the world after ISIS burned a Jordanian pilot to death in a cage, that ISIS, is not about Islam. It is not about religion at all. It is about terrorism. Unless your religion involves the dark angel, I can't think of any religion that believes it is good to put a man inside of a cage and then burn him alive. Certainly it may be shocking—as are the other videos ISIS has posted of beheadings. However, if we look at humanity historically, these Crimes against humanity have existed for as long as humanity itself. That said, historically, the greater population typically outnumbers those who are deranged enough to want such atrocities to continue. In essence, ISIS may have signed its own death warrant. While the creation and distribution of these disturbing videos is meant to terrorize the world into allowing ISIS to flourish, I think it will have the opposite effect. No normal person with a soul could see these acts as anything other than atrocities and those responsible for them needing immediate extermination. We are no longer divided by religion, ideology or any such notions. We know who is in the wrong. And while the terrorist recruiters have found unhappy, disenfranchised and weak-willed recruits, this will ultimately dry up as the ISIS fighters continue to be killed in the struggle.

Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
