I’m 50 /50 on whether this guy is the luckiest guy alive or extremely unlucky.
Have you heard about 19 year old Mason Wells, an American Mormon, traveling missionary, who survived the terrorist bombing in Brussels recently?
Amazingly, Mason also survived the Boston Marathon Bombing where his mother was running in the race. (FYI – a major motion picture is in the works so that people will never forget the horrors of that day.)
Mason Wells survived terrorist bombings in Brussels, Boston Marathon, and Paris.
What really threw it over the edge for me was when I found out that Mason was also on the scene in Paris too when terrorists blew up that night club.
Seriously?
If I was Interpol, or whoever it is that monitors and takes care of global terrorism, I’d be all about investigating who sent him to the locations of Boston, Paris, and Brussels to witness three of the most publicized bombings of our day. And if he says, “God”… well there you go.
It couldn’t possibly be the same God that Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein was talking about when he proclaimed the too big to fail banks to be doing God’s work in 2009 while the rest of the world was feeling the pinch of “The Big Short” housing collapse. But I digress. (See the movie The Big Short anyway. It’s really good! You’ll see how it relates to the second book in the Security Through Absurdity series, Bubbles Will Pop.)
And speaking of odds, look who was running security at the Brussels airport : Israeli owned, and registered as a Dutch firm, ICTS. This company, ICTS, also was in charge of security at the airports where the 9-11 hijackers supposedly left from; it was in charge of security when Richard Reid, the shoe bomber boarded; and, amazingly, they were employed by Schiphol Airport on Christmas Day 2009 when the Underwear Bomber was escorted onto the plane without a passport. Just sayin’, maybe this company isn’t so great for security. But ICTS sure was helpful for the defense contractors who had stuff lyin’ around in their warehouses.
