ISIS is putting governing structures in place to rule the territories the group conquers after battle. ISIS has gone from being a purely military force to building a system that can provide basic services. These include making sure that gas and food are available to its new citizens. As time goes on, ISIS is evolving into a government. Their political decision-making cannot be separated from its military capabilities.

He was one of the best spies they had back then. He led one of the most daring spy missions of World War II,” said Patrick O’Donnell. In February 1945, Mayer and two other men parachuted into Austria and set up a spy ring with local agents. He also posed as a wounded Nazi soldier to get more information about the war.

1. What dangers do fake towers pose to average citizens?

2. Why would they be located near military bases?

3. Do you believe the US government may be behind the towers? why/why not?

2. Maybe the military is listening in on what the average citizen is saying, or even people from other countries are listening in to get the insight or even an upper hand against America.

3. Yes i think they are, i find it a coincidence that they can't find who put these towers up. I think they're listening in on citizens to see if they're planning crimes or drug processing or something relating to that topic.
