It was too blatantly obvious. I read something about an anti-communist group operating inside China that's trying to gain the momentum to overthrow the ruling Party there. They informed an outside contact about the name of the malware that allows the state sponsored hackers to take full control of entire systems, like SCADA,( a type of infrastructure operating/control system), then send commands to cause catastrophic failures. It can be sent through WIFI. Every water system, sewer system, electrical generating or distribution, manufacturing plant, and high-rise has multiple data OP's, from operations to security to fire suppression, and remotely turning off alarms, changing set points, sensor parameters, etc, can cause anything from fires to explosions, to the release of highly toxic gas. There are several manufacturing processes that utilize air scrubbers to remove stuff like cyanide from the exhaust system just before that same exhaust is released into the local atmosphere. I've work on several systems that vent their exhaust in places surrounded by highly populated residential areas. This could be the beginning of something really, really bad. In truth, we may never know the full extent, at least not through the MSM.

Daniel Boone was my hero as a kid. Learned to hunt, tan hide, and leatherwork just to make the clothes he wore. The cap started to stink pretty quick, buckskin boots wore out really fast, and the snakeskin wrapped leather belt started leaving freaking scales everywhere I sat down. Phase over, on to Superman...lol

I get the feeling the rest of the world is also hoping Trump get's back in. All it would take is a strong, honest leader to negotiate once he is able to eliminate some of the more abjectly stupid and heinous brandon's handlers have initiated. I'm positive Russia is holding back from full scale action, knowing the current "administration" is a puppet government. We're still looking at almost a year from now before anything Trump does can begin to manifest results. A lot can happen before then. The best thing to do is PRAY, because you life actually does depend on it.

House is going on the market next month... I'm not far behind...

Living in the Pacific Northwest is challenging for a motorcycle rider. You need to be ready for sudden and extreme weather changes. It’s not just the frequent rain, it’s the sudden drop in temperature from 60° to 40°, that when combined with wind chill at 70mph drops to around 30° in addition to being soaked to the bone if you are caught off guard without the right gear. Which is why I was so concerned when the waterproof zipper broke on my very expensive cold weather jacket I carry in one of the saddlebags. Fearful I would have to pause the weekend rides that recharge my soul for a few weeks, I went to a small alterations shop. The seamstress replaced that zipper in under two minutes. I had to chuckle. Here I was, having designed and engineered complete commercial buildings, from utility to plugs and switches, rebuilt automatic transmissions and every kind of engine, yet scared to death of a darn zipper. We were chatting as she was performing her magic. I mentioned something that she expounded on, and then I asked if she was Christian. Without hesitation she said she was. To which I confirmed I was as well. We both gave glory to God, and enjoyed our unexpected Christian fellowship. When she was done, I paid for the repair, and added a 50% tip. She was obviously foreign born, but spoke English very well. As I took off, I thoroughly appreciated the true core American Ideals she brought to our society when she left whatever Asian country she came from to live a better life here. I hope she had some kids, because I know they would have been raised well, understanding the gift of America. I am a second generation American, among the first “natural born” in the family line. That little trip to the tailor did far more than serve to fix a broken zipper, it confirmed to me that regardless of the MSM and others screaming “God is dead”, or apologizing for any imagined slight, the truth of the human spirit was manifest in that short encounter. Some of the greatest patriots I’ve known were first- and second-generation Americans. Driving away I said a prayer and thanked God for the encounter. Please, don’t let the propaganda destroy your soul. America lives in the Spirit of every Christian, and that can never be taken away....JMHO...DM

I'll never divest all Dinar, planned on keeping a few mil. to leave each of the kids. That said, it's getting harder and harder to hold when considering every other investment has seen at worst a push. Heck, I'm still up on the DJT stock I bought a week before they went public. Yes, it was a risk because I didn't know if the holding company would transition to full stock. That said, I got it for $29 a share and five days later it went up 250%. The IQD is down around 35% from 2011. AI stock, GPU stock, some Crypto's, there's been some insane gains lately. In truth, I value the camaraderie and off topic discussions here on DV as the one very tangible benefit of the "investment". I could never sell everything off, I love this forum far too much.

I know, huh. I don't know if there's anywhere to sell them anymore. Have been thinking about trying Safe Dinar to sell off around 5m. I could have made so much more with other investments. I think a lot of us got caught up in the hopum that was spread by the very same folks who went to prison for the scam.
