More Russian children tortured in US by John Robles…


The puzzel just gets worse...

Sadly, another case of the abuse of Russian Orphans has come to light in the United States and has come to the attention of the Russian Foreign Ministry. According to child protective services workers and professionals with knowledge of the case the level of abuse amounted to what could be called torture and had been going on continuously since 2004.

This time the case revolves around a couple from the state of Wisconsin in the US, whose own children are reported to also have taken part in the abuse of the Russian adoptees. The couple, Martin and Kathleen O’Brien, had been considered to be ideal parents by neighbors, although some have reported that sometimes they noticed odd things. The mother, Kathleen, is even reported to have received an award from the State of Wisconsin for being an exemplary mother. Sadly this was all a farce.

The four Russian foster children, victims of abuse that had been going on for eight years, are now between the ages of 12 and 19 and have been taken from the O’Brian family and placed in protective custody. However their exact location was not revealed by the Department of Social and Child Protective Services.

The parents are facing 17 charges detailed in an 11 page complaint of abuse with the next hearing scheduled for July 6th.

The Russian Foreign Ministry Commissioner for Human Rights, Konstantin Dolgov said that the complaint includes charges that the children were regularly beaten, were victims of suffocation, and that the foster parents even used tear gas on them.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has called on the U.S. authorities to thoroughly investigate the case and to pass fair judgment, something which has clearly not been done in the past where even in recent history parents have gotten off with a slap on the wrist for charges including the murder of a Russian orphan.

The Foreign Ministry Commissioner of the Russian Federation for Human Rights, Konstantin Dolgov stated that Russia views this case with extreme indignation, as another case of infringement on the rights of minors in the U.S. and call for a thorough investigation to be completed, and the perpetrators to be brought to justice and face punishment commensurate with the gravity of their deeds.

The facts and the charges in the case are sickening and are coming in from various sources. According to the police report the O’Briens forced the children to kneel on sharp stones in a yard full of dog excrement and stay there for six or seven hours in the cold and even to stand naked in the cold for extended periods.

Investigators have also found a dairy belonging to the O’Brien woman which she had kept for many years and where she methodically and in detail described the punishments she subjugated the children to. Why she would keep such a diary is a cause for argument and can only be known to her but it points to the fact that she knew exactly what she was doing and continued to do it, these were not blind fits of rage. Was she proud of her horrible abuse? Did she get some sort of sadistic pleasure from humiliating and torturing these children and then go back and read about her deeds again and again?

Sadly for the children the US legal system was extremely slow in responding. Even in a country where they will take away children from their parents for the slightest offense it took over 9 months for charges to be brought against the O’Briens. According to the police the children complained about their treatment in August of 2011 but it was not until this May that the charges were brought. Was this because they were Russian?

In a country now used to such cases was this just more of the same for them? Did they believe the children were lying? If that is the case what redress do children have in the United States? What can we do to stop cases like this from happening? Or is it impossible?

In a country so steeped in violence: where children are accustomed to an endless torrent of violence on television, including the cartoons they watch and where over 400 murders are shown an hour, where people rejoice when other people are executed, where they openly joyfully call for the bombing and killing of the peoples of other countries if the government says there is a reason (no matter what it may be), where the people support and applaud a president engaged in the extra-judicial executions of (even American) citizens, where the violence and tension are so over-hyped and provoked by the police and the “authorities” who see themselves as engaged in a “war” against the citizenry, where everyone has a gun, where rampant racism and social injustice are the norm…. is there any hope for small defenseless children and will their cries be heard?

Those are the facts as they stand.

Regional Security is a Top Priority for China and Russia…


While China and Russia do not always agree on things and see eye to eye all the time and this has never changed all through history, but what has changed is that China and Russia see each other as a partnership that needs to be fertilized and allowed to grow. Putin is well loved in China as is Medvedev and that my friends is half the battle…

The Western Empire has predicated the need for the two powers to conclude that things are getting bad in the world and the West has been behind the crap that is appearing time and time again…

A factor that has tied Russia and China in a secure bond is “Regional Security” : High on the agenda of the SCO summit became regional security, the Vedomosti daily reported. Three of five documents, which the presidents will sign on Thursday, were devoted to regional security. This is a program of cooperation in the struggle against terrorism, separatism and extremism for 2013-2015, an updated resolution on political and diplomatic measures of response to the situations, which threaten peace, security and stability in the region, and a declaration for the construction of a lasting peace.

This regional security issue encompasses the facts that the West is trying to destabilize the East and cause turmoil in the wake of the collapse of the Western Empire as it financially trips into a bottomless pit of debt. The West can not have a strong East s it falls apart and goes into a depression while the East is able to take advantage of that depression, as it did in the lest recession…

I listened to India today and even though the USA has turned up the bribery and corruption game by playing the military weapons card. India has come back with Iran oil is still going to be bought and the US needs to rethink the game being played in the Asian area. But India loves the money and says with a smile, “Thank You – for your people’s tax money, so that we can buy weapons!” I look all around the world and see the bribery and corruption of what is suppose to be the greatest country in the history of the world. It is suppose to be the richest country in the history in the world and it is suppose to be the most morally correct country in the world…

This is why the East is working overtime to lay the ground work for a unified Eastern world and what gets me is that America keeps printing the money and keeps handing out the money and keeps bribing, corrupting and coercing the world into going along with what she wants. I feel that if you have to pay for your friends then you do not have friends…

It is interesting to see the main stream media in America and the lack of real news on what is happening in the world. The lack of the real story as it is being played out all over the world. It is almost funny, if it was not so sad and scary. But who am I to tell you to read the correct news. Just look around and look outside the walls of the main stream media and you will see the real truth, but I realize that truth is not as much fun as who marries who and who sues who in the world of Hollywood…

So while you are worrying about Dancing with the Stars and Reality shows and you stay tuned to the local controlled news every night. Then you hear the world news as controlled by a select few. Just remember something…

Russia and China who have always had issues to cooperate fully are working out their differences and now that they see a common enemy to their existence on earth. The first step to a unified Eastern World has begun and America can thank themselves for this unification of finances and power…

China and Russia proclaim unity on Syria and Iran and they say this in the face of the West…

PS: China and Russia flex muscle at the West By Brendan O’Reilly

Beijing and Moscow will send a clear message to the world at the ongoing Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit. The leaderships of China and Russia have drawn two lines in the sand – an unequivocal “No” to bombing Iran, and another unambiguous “No” to regime change in Syria brought about through a Western bombing campaign.

Phase Zero Human Terrain System: Firing Staff, Timesheet Fraud, Budget Woes by John Stanton…


“I will personally dispel that rumor:  ZZZ did not and does not distribute any former employee lists around the Landing asking current HTS employees if people should be hired.  YYY provided you a detailed description of the Department of Army approved hiring process for HTS.   I take exception to your unsupported allegation of ‘unfair practices’ in HTS and I ask that you not include me in future emails.”   Sharon Hamilton, Program Manager, Phase Zero Human Terrain System.

“From: XYZ USA CIV (US); Sent: 2012; To:  ZYX, ABC, EFG; Subject “Employee Verification…All, The following ex-employees have requested to reenter the HTS program….Please let me know if there is any reason why they should be denied…..”

“… HTS leadership and upper level managers and supervisors made no legitimate attempt to reign in rampant timesheet-overtime fraud…”

“You’re going to see backstabbing and butt kissing on an epic scale as everyone tries to stay on top of a rapidly melting iceberg.”

Using authorities located in the Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS), the Phase Zero Human Terrain System (PZ-HTS) will begin terminating all Human Terrain Analysts no later than July 31, 2012. According to Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Michael G. Vickers, the purpose of DCIPS unite the intelligence community under the same “pay bands and grades” and to professionalize the intelligence workforce to meet complex threats that face the United States.

According to Colonel Sharon Hamilton, PZ-HTS program manager, a reorganization of PZ-HTS has been underway for some months now. Deployed teams are to be streamlined and all Human Terrain Analyst (HTA) positions eliminated. The rationale for the accelerated shrinkage is, “Due to the ongoing OEF revision of force structure, Department of the Army guidance, and changing HTS mission requirements, we must pursue a more aggressive approach towards our reorganization plan… We have been given the authority under DCIPS policy to initiate an immediate draw down of all current HTA employees. The target date for eliminating the HTA position is 31 JULY 2012.

No HTAs will remain in theater past 15 JULY 2012HTS Operations and the TSO will coordinate the staggered return of all HTA personnel over the next few weeks. We will provide all HTA personnel an official notification of this action, and all HTAs will be asked to sign and return a document that acknowledges their understanding…This means all HTA’s employment with HTS and the federal government will end not later than 31 July 2012 (no exceptions). This applies to all HTAs deployed, on detail, or on leave/comp time. I know this action is occurring quickly, but it is necessary to ensure the strength and sustainability of HTS in support of ongoing operations… I thank you for your service to our nation.”

When actions like this are taken in any organization, rumors begin to swirl about. With HTS 1.0–and now PZ-HTS, however, rumor has largely proven to be fact.

There is word of Pentagon guidance that is aiming for 40 to 60 percent budget reductions in PZ-HTS. But there is a problem. According to sources, firing all the HTA’s will not nearly be enough to reach the program manager’s reorganization goals. “[PZ] HTS assumed another bloated, expensive contractor though CGI and it is burning through cash…Even with the move to the remodeled building at Fort Leavenworth, [PZ] HTS can’t get to the numbers it needs to survive without releasing at least half its current strength. Even then, with the surge of troops coming out at the end of the summer, and no new relevant research being produced, [PZ] HTS faces shutting down school operations, eliminating the useless exercise at the end of training, and relying on refresher training online for sustaining it’s shrinking program… firing all the HTA’s isn’t going to get them anywhere near where they need to be if they’re looking for a 40 percent reduction. They’ll be lucky to hit 17 percent, even with a mass exodus. Even if they cut 50 percent of all [PZ] HTS teams today, they still can’t get there.”

“The plan and the numbers don’t add up. PZ- HTS people have accumulated significant amounts of COMP time,” said sources, some of it through (alleged) fraudulent practices. “The United States military often uses acceptable accounting tricks to push budget issues into the next fiscal year,” said a source, “but PZ-HTS leadership is not that clever.”

Curriculum and Hiring Practices

Sources point to mismanagement by leadership, lack of foresight, incompetent staff work, and pure greed, as primary causes of the PZ-HTS nosedive. They caution that the hurried and revised edition of the Social Science and Research Operations Curriculum, assembled from “dated textbooks” by “individuals who did no research in Afghanistan”, is going to be lambasted by the American Anthropological Association once they get ahold of it and review it. Criticism will likely be piled high on PZ-HTS.

CGI has maintained that they have improved the screening process for the PZ-HTS program ensuring, as much as possible, that the right people are let into PZ-HTS. Yet, according to sources, what is occurring in practice is that CGI screens potential employees and then sends PZ-HTS personnel a list of candidates that are, in turn, voted on for suitability. Allegedly, names are passed around the program and subjected to violations of privacy, rumors, gossip, innuendo, and outright lies. Further, according to one source, “If all they do is pass a list to [PZ HTS on who to admit and who to deny, what’s the point?”

Employee verification should fall solely to the human resources element within PZ-HTS. Apparently the only information that should be released is whether the applicant was a Department of the Army Civilian (DAC). Some applicants are former BAE employees (when BAE held the contract), and, evidently, employee verification should pass to BAE. When students graduate from initial training they become DAC’s and attend three (now one) week of pre-mobilization training. After that it is off to Fort Polk for ten additional weeks of training. Some suggest a solution to this shady practice: All former employees of HTS 1.0 and PZ-HTS should have a final DCIPS evaluation which would then be submitted to the primary contractor (in this case CGI) who would then determine if a former employee was suitable for re-entry.

Dispel the Rumor?

An example of the PZ-HTS vetting practice is from early 2012 and is provided immediately below. Hamilton’s response to an accusation from a private contractor challenging the practice follows after.

“From: XYZ USA CIV (US); Sent: 2012; To:  ZYX, ABC, EFG; Subject “Employee Verification…All, The following ex-employees have requested to reenter the HTS program. …Please let me know if there is any reason why they should be denied…..

From: HIJ; To:     KLM; Subject:     Employee Verification;  Sir, here’s my results: XY: No, also ZYX was team leader and he wouldn’t bring back, either; 0X: Mixed results, most said no, but ZYX said yes. Had an apparent bad rep, with an alleged sexual harassment here; XA: N/A; QZ: N/A; ZZ: His team leader had a bad rep, as the team [the person] was on. ZXO was adamant about not bringing back; XI: Very high reputation, was part of the June 2011 HTA mass dump. Very intelligent, multi-lingual. At least five people said to bring back; 01: apparent RM that was decent. Not much info.

According to Hamilton, “I will personally dispel that rumor:  ZZZ did not and does not distribute any former employee lists around the Landing asking current HTS employees if people should be hired.  YYY provided you a detailed description of the Department of Army approved hiring process for HTS.   I take exception to your unsupported allegation of ‘unfair practices’ in HTS and I ask that you not include me in future emails.”

The Western Empire has pushed China and Russia Together…


Yes you know me! Gonna be a good article on this subject very soon. I just last week laid down the reasons and why’s, so now it looks like the happenings are going on…

Historically China and Russia have differences, but when it comes to what the Western Empire is trying to do to the world! Then those differences have to be set aside for the betterment of the world…

Lets watch and see…

Putin wants Russia and China to join forces against the West…

Oh yes, you know me and I have a good article coming up!

Picture Graph Time and it is on Debt in the World…


The IMF recently made a analysts about the rating based on the the debt per one citizen. Japan turned out to be the top debtor by “the state debt volume per one citizen”. $105,500 of the state debt falls on each Japanese citizen, according to 2011 data. The total debt of Japan is around $13.5 trillion…. (Ouch!)

Next is Ireland: But then the good ole U.S. of A is a tad little bit behind Ireland. America is now at a rate of $50,448 per every American…

Then we find Russia is ranked 99th. Its total state debt falls in parts of $1,247 per each citizen… (Read $1,247! No – no more zeros and I did not forget them! I am not cheating! It is true. Russian people have virtually no debt…)

The photo above is a little out of date (2012 was a guesstimate when the graph was done!), because it does not show the huge increase in debt that has hit America or the rest of the West, but what the photo does show by colors, red being the worse and the darker the green the better, that the Western Empire is flat busted and is in debt up to its yin yang…

Green is my favorite color by the way… 🙂

Mikhail Prokhorov Moscow Russia’s Mayor?


Billionaire businessman and former presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov is among those who may run for the mayoral elections, business daily Kommersant reported today, citing sources close to the businessman. Prokhorov could announce his decision at a news conference on June 4…

This makes sense as long as there is no games played behind the scene. I never understood the running for president bit by nobody candidates, but to run for the mayor of Moscow and working his way up the political ladder makes a whole bunch more sense…

You have to prove you can do the job first, unless you have a mentor like Medvedev had and was carried for a year or so, before he was let loose on his own. In Mikhail Prokhorov case he has a very good chance in Moscow of grabbing the mayor spot. Moscow is where he did his best in the presidential race and with the dislike of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin in overdrive around Moscow. Then he could knock Sobyanin off of his silver spoon given spot…

The idea that Mayors are appointed in Russia has always bothered me and I feel that the people deserve to elect their person to be the mayor of their town and city…

Mikhail Prokhorov Moscow Russia’s Mayor? Yes – very very possible, at least with the followers in Moscow…

Cup of Coffee, Moscow is Cold and Sveta’s Question…


Last night got to +2 degrees Celsius (Give or take about 35 to 36 F.). Yes that is correct almost freezing and cold enough that I had to get the space heater out to warm the bedroom. You see we do not have heat that we can just turn on and off as we need it and this last week we have needed heat going in the building… 🙂  (I keep our refrigerator at +3 C.)

That is so cool and was one of the best things about my night. I had one of those bad nights last night. Every since the six heart attacks years ago, I have interesting nights once and awhile. Nights that include taking nitro and sleep evades for sometimes a full day. So I had plenty of opportunity to think about the weather and think about many other things. The main thing that was on my thinking’s list last night was a question that Sveta asked me…

Sveta asked me, “Are you still happy to be in Russia?”

I responded with no hesitation and my response was from my heart, “Yes and I would not want to be anywhere else…”

Then last night I thought about why it is that I am happy in Russia and not happy back in my home country, America?

It dawned on my that I have nothing in common with most Americans. I do not feel the same love for a nanny state that a lot of Americans do. I spent years coming to grips with the fact that my ideologies are different from what most Americans think and act. Even when we agree on one thing, I find that most Americans whole mindset and thought processes are centered on big controlling government…

I can not accept that and as I look at the government in Russia, then that is what I wish the American government would become at the very least. One of the biggest things that the Russian government does that is unheard of in America is try to spend only the money you have and no more. Funny concept for America, could you imagine an America that only spends what it takes in in taxes? I can, because I see it is Russia…

So last night it came to me that from governments to just the people of the countries, I have much more in common with Russia. Be it the view point and criteria of gay rights, military spending, border patrol, local laws, governmental controls and or anything at all in comparing the two countries. I find that my tastes, abilities, thoughts, morals and financial aspects fall closer in line with Russia, also to expand that I should add the Eastern side of the world…

But this just does not have to do with just Russia! I have come to the conclusion that if I lived in China, Brazil, India and or many other countries, I would find that I would be comfortable as long as the government stays out of my way and the peoples way…

I do know that Canada, Britain, France and or Western based countries are not the cat’s meow when it comes to my thinking’s…

A good thought about the subject is: Sveta came home and said, “I just watched two young police men try to talk with a woman who was yelling at them out her window. She was being told to be quiet! The police had been called by the neighbors complaining!” Sveta said after a bunch of minutes of verbal exchange (by window), “The police decided that the woman was a mental (possibly drunk also) and told her that and left!” Sveta said, “That is just right, the less police involved the better!”

I found that interesting as I can remember a dozen times bailing out friends from jail for having someone call on them that they were too noisy and drunk. They never did anything wrong except back talked the police. That got them a night in jail. Sometimes this was friends who owned single family dwellings and sometimes apartment dwellings. Fact is that in Russia the odds are that all they are going to do is tell you to shut up and tell you that you are stupid or something and leave. That is if they even show up in the first place to tell you to shut up… (As Sveta says, “That is just right!”)

A group of thinking’s that I have on things in Russia: I never say that Russia is perfect and by far it is imperfect. But that is why I love Russia. They do not claim to be perfect, they just claim to be better than you are. That is not perfect by any means and they know this, but their faults and failings are at least known and expressed as faults and failings. They bribe and they admit it! They are corrupt and they admit it! They are poor and they admit it! They are not politically correct and they admit it! They do not trust their government and they admit it! They like furs and caviar and they admit it…

That is why I love Russia…

What more needs to be said?

The Global Anti Elite Revolution by Brigadier Nadir Mir…


Revolution is in the air – Globally. At least the first wave of revolutionary fervor has struck the world. Commencing from unlikely Tunisia, spreading through dormant Egypt, toppling the Libyan strongman, the North African – Arabian Peninsula rejoiced in the Arab Spring. Yet the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ and western world change seekers are even more dramatic. Striking at the heart of capitalism, the affluent Western World is reeling under the unprecedented onslaught. The Global Anti Elite Revolution is spreading at a time when the western world’s socio economic system is in disrepute.

Once the Bastille was stormed on 14 July 1789 in Paris, the French king Louis XVI was informed that it was not a revolt, but a revolution. This is what the unfolding scenario appears like today. What differentiates the present and apparently future crisis is not chaotic civil strife – rioting but idea and concept based spontaneous radical game change. There are a number of issues involved here, but a central one is ‘Equality’. The monopolistic elites in most of the world control bulk of the wealth, power and resources leaving a paltry or marginal part for the masses or the majority. The traditional have nots are being joined by a large segment of the middle classes against an elite culture increasingly demonized in the information age. In the Middle East besides economic equality, political – social cultural equality drives the protesters. In USA and EU, it is more to do with economic equality as political, socio, cultural restrictions are relatively few.

The French Revolution was followed by numerous in Europe of 1848, once the Metternich conservative order was challenged, in multiple states. While Revolutions were a historical occurrence the Russian 1917, Chinese 1949, Iranian 1979 became more notable on geopolitical account. Hitler’s Nazi Revolution entered history books with the fall of Berlin 1945.

Francis Fukuyama (in The End of History) proclaimed the death of communism and victory of capitalism. Today capitalism is under attack in its own bastion. If the Soviet Communist order lasted from 1917 till 1991, the capitalists’ victory over Marxist Leninists – appears short lived also. From 1991 — 2011, a twenty years period was the glory of capitalism. Though of course ‘Pure unbridled Capitalism’ will be under severe strain in future. That this has happened in the West should be no surprise. Karl Mark a German, writing ‘Das Capital’, had clearly Germany in mind, and of course the classic ‘Mother of all Revolutions’ 1979 was French!

The Marxist Revolution was initially meant for rapidly industrializing ‘Deutschland’ rather than serfdom based ‘Mother Russia’. Irony of history, Geopolitics and First World War etc helped usher March and October 1917 Revolutions in Moscow. Germany was still revolution prone, but the rise of Hitler deflected it into nationalism and racialism. Still the word Nazi stood for National Socialists!

Today Revolution is globally becoming a house hold word. USA, EU and large parts of the world will experience radical – revolutionary upheaval. The most ironic part of the tale is that America may be ripe for a Second Revolution. The First American Revolution, commenced as the war of independence from the British Crown, followed by numerous reforms that followed and later expansion that created the modern United States. There are several reasons for the Second American Revolution. The US economy is in decline; at least its share of Global GDP is shrinking. Washington’s endless wars and outrageous expenses could put the most notorious spend thrift in history to shame. Wealth within USA is monopolized by the elite. So long as the lower and lower middle classes were in the financial comfort zone, no one thought of ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement. Now Ron Paul himself talks of Revolution.

By 2020 China’s economy may supersede USA. Washington’s policy of containing Russia (with the world’s largest land space) and China (the world’s future largest economy) may not be doable. In fact, America’s super expensive wars of the previous decade have already ruined its economy. The cumulative effect of all this would inspire the good hearted, charity giving, God fearing, amiable folks in America for a real change. Amazingly Washington supported the ‘Arab Spring’ movement, which was in fact the right thing to do, but the chickens are coming home to roost! (A Libyan Revolutionary banner said it all – ‘today Libya, tomorrow Wall Street’). As per one analysis USA is among the most unequal societies.

The environment on the European continent is even more bleak for the present economic order. The European economic malaise, EU interstate disparities are further aggravating its crisis. The Euro Crisis is not simply a financial matter. It also has nationalistic, socio – cultural facets at work. Germany and Greece have not only different economies but also have different people. EU faces both intra and inter European economic issues. EU may manage its issues but the future remains uncertain. After all Europe was the birth place of modern revolutions and revolutionaries. The word radical, recently reflective of militants – terrorists may be realigned with traditional anarchists and revolutionaries.

The situation in countries like India – Pakistan and others are even worse in terms of equality. India with its inequality based ethos, may not see a revolution, but rather may face civil war and turmoil. The Brahman inspired Delhi order would strive to crush all such movements or term them as ‘terrorists’! (the most popular word in India). The world’s richest and poorest people live in India. Even while India wastes money as the world’s biggest arms importer, hundreds of millions of Indians live in abject poverty. There are more hungry people in eight Indian states than all of Africa. The Maoists and other revolutionaries are fighting the Indian system and have been termed as the biggest internal threat by Delhi.

Pakistan of course is getting ripe for a revolution, because a corrupt, foreign influenced and incompetent elite monopolies most wealth and delivers little. People are losing faith in an unresponsive political system in Pakistan. The economic meltdown further emboldens militants, anarchists and miscreants. A reform revolution is the only solution to Pakistan’s predicament. A new welfare state model and not monopolistic elite based system is the need of the hour

The world yearns for peace and prosperity. An end to wars and fair distribution of wealth within nations and societies would lead to a better world. This may have sounded utopia yesterday but is the road map for tomorrow.

While the Ruble is Under Attack by the West – China and Japan Do a Dance Together…


The ruble is getting beat badly right now as the West tries to assert pressure on a rogue Russia, who refuses to play with the West in her games of conquer and destroy the little countries. So we watch oil fall and the ruble depreciate. All in the currency games played by the world…

But not all games are done by the Western Empire: China and Japan have bypassed the US dollar by starting direct currency trading between each other, in a bid to reduce transaction cost and settlement risk and strengthen bilateral trade. ­Market players can now swap Japanese yen for Chinese yuan without having to use the US dollar as an intermediary currency. China is Japan’s largest trading partner, but about 60 percent of their mutual trade is denominated in US dollars. This move is a crucial step for the yuan in the international foreign exchange market. It makes the yen the first foreign currency that can directly exchange with the yuan after it skipped the US dollar as an intermediate. That policy has long incited trade tensions with the United States… (Oops!)

This move by Japan and China is much more important than a weakening ruble. For as the ruble is under attack, the West has much more to loose by that attack, than Russia does. The West owes money to everyone in the world and when they play games as a child would, they are using monopoly money to play those games with. Sooner than later, that will catch up to them and all you have to do is watch the debt meter spin like a water meter hooked to a fire hose at a fire…

So Russia who has a ceiling at around 38.15 on the ruble, is looking at 33.5 right now. I have watched this pressure game many times against Russia, but this time China and Japan officially decided to dance at the same time and that my friend is going to put a world of financial hurt on a Western Empire that is trying to pressure a rogue Russia…

Remember that looks can be decieving! The ruble may be under attack, but the dollar is under a much worse attack that is being hidden by the Western media and working on its ($) demise is the Asian countries…

Russia is not in debt can the West say the same?

I could list links all day (hundreds) and I am only doing this to show you that we live with people dying everyday day in and day out, but we want to murder thousands in Syria for no reason…

We have a lot of self righteous people in the world, including America, who like to point the finger and condemn, as there is more death and murder surrounding them as they point…

Maybe we should clean up our killing at home first, before we run off and attack another country so we can feel all warm and bubbly about ourselves, as we save them by killing them as we did in Libya…

You see 45 murdered people a day is a lot of people. This is murders, not people just dying by natural causes in America, but plain simple murders. These are murders in the boundaries of American home territory, the 50 states…

Looks like we need to have an outside force come into our country and stop us from killing ourselves! (Sounds stupid doesn’t it?) But maybe we do need the UN to ride in on a white stallion, to save us from ourselves and bomb the hell out of us as we kill ourselves everyday, day in and day out. OMG – it is time for humanitarian service bestowed upon America for our own good…

Oh by the way! Do not give me that apples to apples and oranges to oranges stuff…

A murder is murder and that is that. So go suck an egg…
