Atlanta Burning..

Q. What is being planned for in Atlanta? Below is video that talks about the burning bridges that are randomly occurring in Atlanta among other things. Many thanks!

A.  I see a couple issues going on with the recent bridge burnings in Atlanta.  I first get that there was a group of people contracted by the local government to start fires that would destroy key elements in their infrastructure.  The blame for these fires would be tied to a small group of patsys, but in reality it was the government looking for a way to renew, reinforce and solidify some of the bridges (and other items) in the event of an attack.  People of Atlanta need a way in and out of town, and if a military event prevented commuting, the town would be in a chaotic crisis.  I get due to local budgets, the funding would not be there for their Department of Transportation to tap into, but with a "crisis" occurring some kind of federal funds would be made available.  

I see some kind of military connection to this area, which also puts Atlanta as more of a target (?). Local governments are highly concerned, and they want to be ready if and when something happens.  The key people in power feel to have a military connection, which makes these concerns feel very real.  I do get that local politicians are paying close attention to international affairs, specifically what is brewing with Russia, Saudi Arabia and North Korea.  They also have little trust in how Trump will deal with these sensitive issues, and are looking to form their own protection (take matters in their own hands).

The secondary thing I see is there is money to be made from the rebuilding.  Not only does federal funding look to step in and at least supplement the reconstruction, the money stays local and stimulates the economy.  In many ways, Atlanta looks and feels to have made out with this, even though the town endured some concerning press.

And that is all I have for this reading.  Thank you.  Love and light-

Let's go out and burn down some stuff! Earning federal funding for our local governments is good. *irony*

Other than as a logisitical center in a strategic location, what military applications are based on Atlanta that would be vulnerable in an attack?

@John...Atlanta is a major banking center and home to a branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, as well as Coca Cola and CNN. Atlanta is HQ to 18 of the S and P 500 businesses. Atlanta also bisects I95, the main artery on the East Coast. Georgia is also home to numerous military bases within a reasonable distance from Atlanta.

Thank you for the comments. This did feel concerning...

@Wendy: I will look at N Korea a little later. I think it definitely deserves a closer look and should have it's own post. Good question.
