Excerpt of the Day

"A writer or journalist must present the facts of a non-fiction work objectively, as I have earnestly done in this book. However, the job of a professional author is not complete until suggestions and solutions to the situations at hand are offered to the reader for consideration."
 First edition back cover, January, 2010

Selected from page #298 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Readers should never be left without solutions for the problems presented in a book, all mysteries have to be solved at the end of a good story. An author must also leave some room for the imagination of the readers, triggered by a good writer.
It is this hard to attain equilibrium what makes a book stay in the reader's memory long after the last page has been turned.

Quote of the Day

"When a terrorist act is committed, everyone around suffers the consequences."
9/11 was the terrorist attack that changed everyones' life forever

Selected from page #298 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

The memory of the tragic events of 09/11/01 shows us that when the airplanes hit the Twin Towers, it made no difference if you were black or white or if you were gay or straight, and as we know, almost everyone died.
This proves once again that we all are human and the same, so we better put our differences behind us. We need each other to prevent and survive terrorist acts.

Excerpt of the Day

"In a perfect world acceptance would be the ideal, but we are still far from that and in order to get closer to the goal, we need to first learn to tolerate each other and that is a realistic enterprise."
Tolerance leads to mutual understanding and friendship

Selected from page #299 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Tolerance is the only way to have peace in our world, where nobody is perfect what we do locally, has consequences globally.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is a unique American tradition and one, that those like me who immigrated to this wonderful land have immediately adopted. Even during hard times of recession the USA is still the undisputed leader of the world and to live in a country where one can be a person with freedom is a blessing to always be thankful for.
Turkeys may not be beautiful, but they are as popular as the American Eagles

Excerpt of the Day

"When children are abused, hurt, and neglected, we are raising potential terrorists. Someone who reacts violently, with hate and resentment for society in general."
 Typical children of a third world country

Selected from page #298 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Not all the kids who are abused, neglected or hurt become criminals or turn into terrorism, but the potential for that kind of life is absolutely there and we can avoid that by loving and educating them.

Quote of the Day

"Children are the future and if we don't pay them the attention they deserve, we are neglecting everyone's future."
Kids are young humans, not cargo

Selected from page #298 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

If you can not commit to what it takes to be a good parent, your children are much betters off adopted by a loving, care provider.

Excerpt of the Day

"I was very proud to once again be a pioneer and a first."
Someone has to be the first, might as well be you

Selected from page #297 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

History only remembers the first one who travels the road, the one who breaks the ground to make it easier for others to follow. If you want to write your name in the book of human kind, be a pioneer, don't be a chicken.

Quote of the Day

"Remember: Nobody is completely free, while others are oppressed."
This is the America the rest of the world don't know still exists

Selected from page #297 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Even when we are successful in our personal lives, if we are not selfish, we can not be completely happy with so much suffering in the world. The disparity between the rich and destitute, even in the richest country in the world is enormous. We can help to make the gap smaller by lending a hand to those less fortunate than us when we encounter them. You will not only lift their spirit, but yours.

Quote of the Day

"Our diversity is the richness of this country and we all should embrace and celebrate it."
Life is more fun when we have different friends

Selected from page #297 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

The old model to keep the same people together in uniform does not work in our modern, global world. It did not work in China when Mao Tse Tung dressed everyone in green and grey, it did not work in Nazi Germany with the arian race proposal, and it did not work in South Africa with the Apartheid. 
Hitler made everyone looked the same in Germany and that was not only wrong, but very boring.

Quote of the Day

"When we work together for a common cause, we can beat all obstacles and nobody should ever underestimate the power of a small, well-organized minority."
Even young and vulnerable school girls may turn powerful when organized

Selected from page #297 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Ignoring the dormant and latent strength of minorities has been the downfall of many dictators, tyrants, and despots.

Excerpt of the Day

"Damaged tarot cards were found at both explosion sites. Both pipe bombs were powerful enough to kill if anyone had been in close enough proximity.
The bombs detonated earlier because in the design of the device, there was a failure of prevention of early ignition."

The Major Arcana were Frank's favorite tarot cards.

Selected from page #296 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Frank Alexander used "Tarot" as his nickname and he always included some of those cards in his mailed bombs and warnings, as a way to foretell the future of his victims. His favorite card was "The Fool."

Excerpt of the Day

Frank mailed John Hagee a warning in the form of a photograph of the explosive device. The device was leveled "mother." Also inside the envelope was a note reading, "John Hagee, beware when mother comes–Tarot."
Evangelist John Hagge during his Sunday Televised mass

Selected from page #296 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

Hagee's Cornerstone Church boasts 17,000 members and reaches approximately 65 million people in the US and Canada and millions more in other countries.
Frank hated John Hagee, because his grandfather, who tortured him with his whip and belt was a fanatic of that Evangelical Church; this was his revenge.

Excerpt of the Day

"On the day of the Dallas explosion, Frank had called a mental health facility to report he had mailed the bombs. After tracing the call, Las Vegas Police officers found Frank in a hotel room and questioned him. He then admitted to attempting to mail a bomb to the Las Vegas Office of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. That bomb was recovered at the Greyhound bus terminal downtown. A search of Frank's hotel room turned up ten pounds of gun powder, several PVC pipes with end caps, and electrical charging devices."
Sin City is a magnet that attracts not only vacationers, but criminals too

Selected from page #296 of Letters from Frank: An American Terrorist's Life.

There is the misconception that in Las Vegas criminals would blend with the crowds of tourists, but this is exactly what brings them to justice and they ignore that the police force in town is the best trained in the country and the world.
