GRENADA, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST ISIS

     Just in from St. George's, Grenada. The island nation has joined a number of countries that have signed a United Nations resolution against terrorism sponsored by the United States. Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell said he was horrified at the atrocities committed by members of the Islamic State who have taken responsibility for the beheading of at least three Western journalists in Syria.


“You cut off somebody neck with a knife. I have seen fowls been killed with a knife and I have difficulty watching it and for a human being to go through that process it is quite frightening,” Mitchell said.
     Trinidad and Tobago co-sponsored the US resolution with Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar noting that her country is a “firm believer in the ability of the United Nations to contribute to the resolution of international problems such as terrorism”.
     The resolution was signed and passed by over 100 countries last Wednesday, and requires nations to “suppress the recruiting, organizing, transporting, equipping” and financing of “foreign terrorist fighters”. President Barack Obama said it also calls on government to “help build the capacity of the states on the front lines of the fight.”
     Mitchell said that Grenada would be monitoring “every aspect of potential violent activity in our country” saying St. George’s would be cooperating with other regional countries in the fight against terrorism. “There are a lot of things that go on behind the scenes in regional security meetings where we are cooperating,” he said, adding that the new technology has reduced the difficulty in improving the level of cooperation.

The Great Abaco Highway on Abaco, Bahamas

          When flying into the out island of Abaco, the Great Abaco Highway appears like a white strip of ribbon threading its way through green forests. Here's a scene from my spy thriller- "Penumbra Database." If you want a real out island vacation adventure, go to Abaco, Bahamas!      Penumbra Database: Episode 1 snippet:      Everything was quiet along the Great Abaco Highway (GAH) south of Marsh Harbor, the capital of Abaco, a 120-mile long, boomerang-shaped out island in the Bahamas. The GAH stretches from Walker’s Cay on the northern tip, cuts through the central region where Marsh Harbor lies, then threads its way through heavy forest to the desolate southern end where it abruptly runs into the ocean at a remote village called Sandy Point.             Bolan Tougas maneuvered the Ford Expedition SUV in a feeble attempt to avoid a cornucopia of deep...

JIMMY BUFFETT MENTIONED IN SPY SERIES

          I'm a Jimmy Buffet fan and mention him off and on in the "Penumbra Database," the first in a series of the Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Florida Keys and Caribbean spy series . Below is a mention of Jimmy Buckett's past life, when he first started out singing in Key West. A CIA safe house blends in to the homes on Eaton Street. It's a scene from the "Penumbra Database" where General Morrison walks from the safe house to the Turtle Kraal, his favorite eating place in Key West's Historic Seaport District. His counterintelligence (CI) teams protect him along the way:       "As Morrison strolled further down Margaret Street toward Harpoon Harry’s, he felt regret for not telling Corey about the San Francisco CBIF safe house. Through the CSS business, he instructed BHH to attempt to breach Cheng’s MIT computer in Cambridge, Massachusetts and to devise new firewalls to patch up any cyber weaknesses in its de...
