A few years back I started collecting newspaper clippings keeping an eye on trouble spots around the world & getting my soldiers to research them.
Since leaving the military I have extended that to crime, disasters & likely threats.
Well in the last few days I have had to start going back through those clippings as information came through that someone I have had an issue with post the earthquake here in Christchurch is not as holier than thou they make out.
In fact as I scratched just a little with a contact I suddenly realized where I knew the face & name from. Their criminal activity was in the paper, although they will claim that is was not criminal & they have made it good.
The amount of information though that has come out especially in the little side news briefs was interesting.
Included were predictions of overdue diasters here in New Zealand. Those disasters were a large earthquake here in the South Island, though it was more focussed on the Alpine faultline. Overdue volcanic eruptions in Auckland, Lake Taupo, Taranaki with a new volcano expected in Wanganui township.
There was also a clipping about Christchurch City council looking at the city's commericial & civic buildings for possible earthquake strengthening although the nearest known fault was over 30km away. We know now since the Canterbury wee shake that actually there was at least one fault previous known in the city. The Addington fault but even that has been a matter of contradiction by the 'experts'.

Other information included the profile of the Kiwi jihadist whose youtube postings I included in earlier posts.
Some have said that collecting them is a waste of time, but as this recent look back through has shown the information gathered can give a warning to issues further down the track.
For Security like the military the more surprises you can plan for the better prepared you are for the unexpected.
