#1 The financial shudders that we experience are nothing compared to what is happening in weaker markets. We catch cold, they go critical with pneumonia. Nancy's hurting the EU, Australia, OPEC, AU countries, China, Russia worse than she is hurting us. I saw yesterday that the dollar surged. In the midst of a financial hurricane, the dollar is one of the few lifeboats.

#4 I've been busy with work . . . .
Checking back, I see some rumblings about the Russian markets . . . . They closed today, they will open tomorrow as has happened in the past. No big deal.

As an aside, I caught a documentary about Litvinenko on TV yesterday (British?). The premise was that Putin is basically a criminal. The whole thing was made to be very depressing, except interview with Lugovoi. It was hillarious to see how Lugovoi was describing Po 210 and its properties denying that he had put it in Litvinenko's tea. Then he politely offered a cup of tea to the Bitish reporter. The poor guy almost choked there: "No, no, thank you!"

At the end they mentioned that sometime before he died, Litvinenko converted to Islam. They explained that he was trying to unify religions or something like that. He probably was not rational by then.

P.S. Interestingly, they showed Berezovsky at his funeral in London.

#5 The premise was that Putin is basically a criminal.

Ya because killing journalist, shutting down dissent and seizing companies is such a good thing, right? Damm commies, God as a special plan for you though, Ezekiel 38/39, Rosh/Magog. Coming soon in your future.
