Syria and the Petrodollar

The cable guy was out today and restored all of our services.  That means we are back in business in terms of the internet, phone, and the TV.  The whole business has been stressful.  I had a dream last night that the tech came out only to tell me that there was a scheduling conflict.  In my dream, I got so angry/annoyed that I was threatening to change service providers.  The guy didn't say anything but got up and left.  I took that to mean that the service call was over.  Ugghhh.  Nightmare.  Turns out the actual tech was very nice and even suggested some changes that would save us money.  So that dream was in no way "psychic," but more like anxiety coming through while I slept.  Egads.

A few days ago my friend Stephen posted a blog about the mess in Syria and provided links to another blog, Monkey Throw Dart.  On that blog there were several links and YouTube video that I found to be very insightful.  I will post links to both blog bits so that you can do as much reading as you like.  I am going to post the YouTube footage because I found it to be very insightful on an issue that has most people confused.  It was extremely eye-opening for me.  I have shared it with a few friends and they all are like, "Okay, this makes sense.  I get it now."  It is 14 minutes long, but it will be 14 of the best minutes you have ever spent in terms of understanding what is going on in the world right now.



I encourage you to check out both of the sites I mentioned.  The mainstream media simply isn't reporting the Whys of what is going on.  And the Whys are the story.  Let me know what you thought about the video, any of the links you read, and I encourage you to follow/post on the other blogs.  If we want to change things in our government, we need to first understand the story behind the decisions being made.  Without that information, nothing will change and everyone will be left wondering where it all fell apart (because so few know and understand the actual story).
