A Badge of Shame – LewRockwell

Even so, within days of Raub being seized and forcibly held in a VA psych ward, news reports started surfacing of other veterans having similar experiences. “Oppositional defiance disorder” (ODD) is another diagnosis being used against veterans who challenge the status quo. As journalist Anthony Martin explains, an ODD diagnosis “denotes that the person exhibits ‘symptoms’ such as the questioning of authority, the refusal to follow directions, stubbornness, the unwillingness to go along with the crowd…

Russia’s money transfer system, developed as an alternative to SWIFT is now more popular than the global network, said Anatoly Aksakov, head of the Russian parliamentary committee on financial markets. He explained that Moscow is already engaged in talks with Chinese, Turkish and Iranian financial regulators on integrating its System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS) with financial messaging systems of those countries.

Trade in native currencies will be good for everyone. Things will be cheaper since dollars no longer have to be purchased, and national currencies will strengthen. This is as it should be and should have never been any different…

Therefore, while America is acting like the most important thing on earth is who (R and or D) gets control of one of the most corrupt government in the world…

Pakistan, Iran, Russia, China, India and dozens of others are starting to do business in their own currencies and dropping the dollar…

In fact Bartering has started to come back in style…

As Svetochka would say, “That is just right!”

Good shot of the really Tiny Russian Village home. Call it, “Nikolai’s Home”.

Bunch of images tomorrow, after I get feeling better from the road trip. Moscow’s hell to drive in… 😉

China is a large country, America a

It was pitch dark and I was cooking dinner. Svetochka and I heard a deep rumble and I ran outside. Night had become day, northern sky was lit up from east to west…

I yelled for Sveta and as we watched the fireball grow. I then tried to figure out the safest place for us to weather the shockwave…

For about 30 seconds, I truly thought that Moscow had been nuked and that this was it….it was direct north of us and encompassed the whole sky…

I soon realized that it was not such a terrble thing as a nuke and Sveta then called her mom and found out life was good in Moscow…

But, then forest fire came to mind…

It roared like a freight train rummbling at full speed ahead…

It was from a place about 40 to 50 kilometers from us…

Gas main explosion….hope everyone in the other village is okay…

Hell itself opened up tonight…
