Piracy

For some time modern day piracy on the high seas has been getting worse and worse.

Part of the reason is that in most cases the demands of the pirates for money and safe passage have been accepted. Apparently this really does embolden hostage takers and kidnappers.

There have been some disturbing rumors recently that some of these multi-million dollar payments to kidnappers have gone to help fund extremist religious fanatics like the Taliban. And in some cases these payments are reimbursed by insurance.

So let me get this straight: The big insurance companies worldwide are complicit in helping to fund terrorism. And when they get into financial trouble they just get bailed out by the governments of the so-called capitalist western democracies. So the American taxpayer is helping to fund these fanatic religious lunatics who want to destroy us.

Weird…
