(Reuters) – The United States has set aside $25 million for aid to Syrian rebels, although the assistance remains limited to non-lethal supplies such as communications gear, the State Department said on Wednesday… (August 1st, 2012)

(HAARETZ) A commander with the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) has offered a 25-million-dollar bounty for anyone who captures Syrian President Bashar Assad “alive or dead,” reported the Turkish news agency Anatolia on Tuesday… (September 18th, 2012)

I really just thought that you might want to know? You understand that the Syrian Rebels are very rich and they have lots of extra money laying around to use for bounties. I also would question that “non-lethal” part of the Reuters article…

You know, we are really desperate! America is really looking pathetic on the world stage…

I am glad I am in Russia! The worst they seem to be able to conjure up is a proclaimed millions man march and 5000 to 6000 show up! Like I also said before, “You can get 5000 people to stare at the sky with you in Moscow, if you stop and pretend to look at something in the air. With 15,000,000 people at any given second running around, it is not hard to draw a crowd…”

Now as I sit here and sip my wonderful morning cup of coffee, I am in the realization that our trip to Tunisia is going to be interesting and I am looking forward to it. If the blog goes dead and no one writes, then you know I did not come back in one piece… 🙂

The only thing going on in Russia that needs to be stopped is the desecration of churches all over Russia. I see that Ukraine is having issues with the same thing and Georgia now has beautiful old churches being desecrated…

My opinion is that no matter what the religion and what your beliefs are. Burning bibles, cutting down crosses, painting on church walls and what ever else anyone is doing, is just plain immoral and disgusting. Humans have got to be the worst of gods creations and we never learn from or past, we just repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat. Technology seems to be advancing, but morality, common sense and compassion goes in cycles and we are hitting a low cycle, as low as any that the world has been in in history…

So I sit and enjoy coffee and watch the world blame each other, point fingers and riot. The truth comes out in little pieces and it is up to the person to assemble those pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. A very hard puzzle…

I have a couple of things to say and then I am going to go think of something else…

I have a belief that we should all be free, but that freedom is sometimes something that we need to weigh and measure. If my declaration/proclamation of freedom hurts, imposes, desecrates, murders, maims, steps on and or inconveniences anyone in anyway! Then I have put myself and my freedoms above that person and I have removed their freedoms…

I also think that the smaller the freedom the more important that freedom is! Anything from salt restriction, drink restriction, helmet laws, seat belts and many many other tiny little freedom issues, these are the most important ones. These are the destruction of the freedoms that lead to the restrictions, on the big freedom items in the constitution…

So now I am having my freedoms restricted, because of people in this world that want to cause issues and they manifest a situation (movie) that has been blown out of proportions in the Middle East. It is not just this movie that is the issue, it is the fact that pent up anger at the way the Middle East people are treated and lied to that is the issue…

Now my freedoms are being stepped on by my government and people who use the freedoms of expression, that are used as tools of degradation against the masses! The masses all over the world…

You are not free if your freedoms hurt other peoples freedoms…

It was Friday, Aug. 31 – 2012…

Now since the moon sure did not look blue to me, I decided to get a picture of it! 🙂

What is a Blue Moon? Glad you asked…

Web definition: A Blue Moon is a long time; “Something that happens once in blue moon almost never happens”. A blue moon is the appearance of the third full moon in a season that has four full moons, instead of the usual three. It is never visually blue. Because a blue moon occurs only every two or three years, the term blue moon is used colloquially to mean a rare event, as in the phrase “once in a blue moon”…

So in the photo above is a Blue Moon! I took it when we were in the village this last month and the beginning of this month. I told Sveta, “Hey that is not blue!”

Then Sveta looked at me and said, “It is not suppose to be blue!”

“Oh!” I said – 🙂

Sorry the cell phone did the best it could, when it took the picture and it is pretty grainy. This was about 11:00pm at night so it was rather dark…

The “back-to-Asia” policy of the United States could lead to an arms race in Asia, which Washington hopes to benefit from by selling weapons to conflicting parties. I think the US is making a big mistake by assuming that it can do to China what it did to the erstwhile Soviet Union.

The chances of the US, rather than China, becoming bankrupt because of an arms race are higher. China can double or triple its military spending and still it will be only 9 to 13 percent of the country’s savings. But any increase in the US’ military budget will add to the country’s already huge deficit.

Paul Wen, on the WTR website…

Sveta and I have sealed the travel deal and good or bad, Tunisia here we come. That is my thinking’s this morning over a cup of wonderful coffee… (We leave around the 27th of September!)

Sveta came home yesterday and she was expressing about the issues in the Middle East right now! I could see on her face, “Is it going to be okay, for an American to travel the Middle East?”

This is a legit issue and after her and I discussed what we are doing, we decided that we will go and unless America breaks diplomatic relations with Tunisia, it will be okay. I will allow Sveta to be the Russian and I will be the dumb “who ever” and not open my mouth and let the world know that I am American, unless I have to. Since French is one of the main languages, I can get away with it…

We already had to remove Egypt from our travel planes and from what is happening now, I am glad we did. I guess it will be awhile before Egypt will be safe to go back too. It is funny, not hah hah funny, but Sveta being a Russian has no issues traveling these countries…

Pretty sad, huh?

Unless you are like most Americans and never leave the country. I guess then, you would wonder what is wrong with me and why would I travel anywhere! You know!!!!! To those countries where all those people live! You Know!!!!!…

I easily pass for Russian all the time and that is to my advantage as we go through life. Now if I just could get a Russian passport, that would solve all my issues…

So as my State Department issues warnings for: Armenia, Burundi, Kuwait, Sudan, Tunisia, Zambia, and Egypt and now add Algeria. I hope that the US shuts up and hides for awhile… (Fat chance for that!)

Sveta and I have a wonderful vacation that will last most of October in Tunisia and I would prefer that I spend it on the beaches and not “in a pickle” as they say…

But I do not wanna go home, I like running around the world and enjoying life in the real world…

The world should be open and free and if America wants to be scared, then build a wall all around the country and bristle it with missiles, but leave the rest of the world alone…

So it is time (America) to quit stirring the pot, because people are going to get hurt who should not, because the world really is a great place, even as you (US government) try to mess it up…

Yemen Embassy for America attacked! Egyptian Embassy for America attacked again!

Once again, “What Did I Do!” Screams the US government as they condemn all these attacks against such an innocent country as the USA…

It takes two to tangle and if we had not tangled in the first place…

Guess what?

Ron Paul is right…

Just come home, We Just Marched In (So We Can Just March Out)…

Word is that: The US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other embassy staff were killed in Tuesday’s rocket attack in Benghazi, according to a Libyan official…

Word is that: In Cairo, several men scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy and tore down its American flag, according to CNN producer Mohamed Fadel Fahmy, who was on the scene…

Word is that: The United States said it was taking swift measures to protect its citizens worldwide after protesters angry about an online film that is very offensive to Islamist…

Word is that: This is the movie – , laugh all you want, but don’t screw with someones religion…

The comments on Western news sites are full of: 1. Cut their funding? (Please!) 2. Cut their hearts out or off with their heads! (Stupid is as stupid does!) 3. See, I told you they are animals! (Takes one to know one!) 4. They need more democracy! (Isn’t that what started all this in the first place?) 5. Turn the whole Middle East into a glass parking lot! (Intelligence is not many peoples strong point!) 5. (Fill in your hate remark here, please!)

My favorites are and always will be, “What Did We Do?” and “I don’t see the problem with the stupid movie!” and “Can’t they see that it is just a joke?”

You know when we (The West!) is killing people by the hundreds of thousands all over the world and especially in the Middle East. Little things like insulting Mohammad kinda get blown out of proportion by the natives…

It is a promulgated situation that has been encouraged and initiated by the West herself…

I do not agree that they should have stormed the Embassies, but I also do not accept the fact that anyone would create a movie this antipathetic and then they run around screaming, “What Did I Do?”

Also, I do not care if who it is! (Sam Bacile) The movie sucks and the man who made it is now hiding! Really what did he expect to happen?

An Israeli film-maker based in California has gone into hiding after his film attacking the prophet Muhammad sparked angry assaults… (Read More >>>)

PS: I see that World War 3, will be a Holy War! Seems that Holy Wars do not go out of style. The Crusades, 11th, 12th, and 13th-century religiously sanctioned military campaigns waged by much of Christian Europe against Muslim Persia and Middle East…

Hmm! Still going on I see…

It does happen – hyperinflation…

Countries that are using a source of money other than the dollar to do trade and purchases with…

#1. China And Russia –  China Daily article

#2. Iran And Russia –  Bloomberg

#3. Brazil, Russia, India, China And South Africa –  ZEEBIZ.com

#4. China And Brazil –  recent BBC article….

#5. China And Australia –  Financial Express article….

#6. India And Japan –  Reuters

#7. Skirting The Oil Sanctions on Iran –  Bloomberg

#8. China And Chile –  Xinhua

#9. China And The UAE –  CNN

#10. China And Africa –  WSJ?

#11. China and Germany – Here recently China and Germany, have now agreed to start conducting an increasing amount of trade with each other in their own currencies. (It is true, but the press is ignoring it!)

#12. EU and China – Jakarta Globe – Part of the German situation, but we try to steer it to human rights…

#13. Russia and CIS – VOR

You should be worried, once enough countries stop using the dollar, those dollars will come back home to roost and the ability that we have to hide all this inflation in other countries in the world will end. That will be termed hyperinflation at that point…

Russia is working on making the ruble the currency for all the CIS countries and China is trying to get the renminbi set up for the Asian area…

Also Russia and China are working together to make this happen…
