About a 9.9 quake predicted for off the coast of China. The only ‘time-stamp’ in the dream/vision was that it was within the time possible for cancelation of the Olympics.

Interesting times. God alone is our Refuge.

Other folks are saying San Diego is vulnerable in the next several weeks for a heavy duty quake.

And this has been done since 1979 with GOP presidents in the White House for 20 of those 28 years and a GOP Congress for 12 of those years. Does anyone think these facts will be allowed to go by unnoticed in this election.

Our Texas oilmen and pols allowed themselves to be conned into believing that the Saudis really were well educated, single malt drinking, Sayville Row suit wearing colleagues instead of deeply religious and ideological Muslims, still believing in an Islamic restoration.

Of course neither candidate is one we can count on to redirect this catastrophe, certainly not the haloed one.We need someone who can see our enemies clearly, recognize our vulnerabilities and strive to eliminate them, is beholden to no special interest save his oath of office.Any suggestions?

Exxon Mobil is buying back stock because they can't find enough energy investments to deploy their excess cashflow.

The nature of the boom/bust cycle of the oil industry has always caused many of them to sell stock when prices were low to survive and buy it back when prices are up.

It sounds like my investment strategy of buy high and sell low, but it is the nature of the business of this industry to survive the cycles. Oil companies tend to have a longer viewpoint than many others. They have to do so to survive.
