#2 Those spiders had to be eating something besides each other if there were that many of them. So if there was a spider infestation of that size, then there must also been a spider food infestation that was even larger.

#3 "Exactly what are they building on Guam" > the Locals I've personally spoken or discussed this with don't say anything new than what has already been described or inferred on the Net. CORPORATE = CONTRACTOR PROFIT MOTIVES ASIDE, IMO Guam doesn't need that many foreign temporary workers given how many Locals per se needs jobs themselves.

UNLESS the USMC, etc. are only expected to stay a SHORT TIME on Guam after any withdrawal from Oki, in relation to CONUS-based PROMPT GLOBAL STRIKE, SPACE = LUNAR PLANES, + OFFSHORE BASING OPTIONS [MOAB = Rapid Reaction Forces FROM the US].

IOW, POST-2030 or 2050? "POLITICALLY CORRECT/DENIABLE" US STRATEGIC = GEOPOL WITHDRAWAL from ASIA + WESTPAC, etc. back towards HAWAII STATE + US WEST COAST/CONUS???

CHINA PERTS + BLOGGERS > broadly or specifical
ly recognize that the USMC redux from OKI will induce JAPAN's GOVT [+ ROK, etc.] to DEV INDIGENOUS NUCLEAR WEAPONS + NUC MILITARY ARSENALS [ Treaty?] WHICH CHINA NOR OTHER ASIAN NATIONS INCLUD US ALLIES ARE READY FOR YET.

#4 The "18,000" is just a Number among many in GOVT. BUSNESS + ECON DECISION-MAKING > IMO, the more important factor is GUAM's FORMAL POLITICAL RELATIONSHIP WID THE USA, i.e. as a de facto US STATE VERSUS SOVEREIGN NATION INDEPEDENT FROM THE US.

Anything in-between is just ELECTION-HAPPY GOVT-CRITTERS + PROFIT CAPITALISTS, ETC. PLAYING MIND GAMES WID GOD OR THE INEVITABLE.

#5 SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH, "Spiders" are a matter of US NATIONAL, now GLOBAL + SPACE, SECURITY NOW!

FTLG, don't force me to tell US-Global DHS to tell BOSTWICK + CARUSO TO ANGRILY TAKE OFF THEIR SUNGLASSES IN RIGHTEOUS GLOBAL WARMING INDIGNATION!

#6 With that many spiders, Guam could tip-over and capsize.
