Background Noise

This is one of those articles where I write the title before anything else.  Why, because it's about a bomb, and to use a journalist's terminology a bombshell.  Naah, I don't think it would fit in with the mainstream media's description of a bombshell headline.  They'll most likely call this a conspiracy theory and toss it into file 13...that's the trash can for all you non-military folks.

How many of you have heard of the “Council for a Livable World”?  No, I'm not going to wait around for an answer.  But let's see if I can tie this altogether with some things you may have heard about; things, in this case would include people as well as the previously mentioned 'bomb'.

The Council for a Livable World can be described as a lobbying group that would like to dis-arm our military and support anti-U.S. military legislators.  They're well known for buying off newly elected legislators early in their careers so they can be called on later when needed.  Among the many defense related issues this group lobbied to eliminate funding for was the "Bunker Buster"...yeah, you remember that one don't you, AKA the 'Mother of All Bombs'.

Now I don't know the overall success rate the Council has had over the years because they were dealing with many legislators and what they needed was the big guy.  Well there was this legislator who was hanging around Washington for a number of years that finally answered that 'when needed' call.  His son Hunter called him, "The Big Guy"...Joe Biden.

Now do you understand why Joe Biden left behind billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment in Afghanistan?
