The Last Moments of Life... (of a dragonfly)

From Paul Kroeker, in Lake Winnipeg, Canada...

The last moments of a Dragonfly's life captured on film... Kroeker says, "I did not hold this insect captive, it was just laying like this on my deck."

Happy Flag Day, Americans... (Video)

Home of the Brave, Land of the Free....
The two do not exist without one another...


We make a dangerous enemy, that's why traitors and infiltrators have always tried to get us to fight ourselves.... But those who have stayed as Americans, have learned that their own Freedom stems from not trying to sacrifice or edit the opinions of others..... And in that, they found self confidence...

That is what being an American, is all about...

I will see this day enjoyed by the smiles of our future...
May God Bless our Military... As we remember their sacrifice, every day.

And another type, China not likely to escape, unscathed...

The Boom And Bust Of China's Rise....
Recently Liu Chuanzhi, the Chairman of Lenovo and the iconic figure of Chinese manufacturing, faced a serious dilemma while asked why of Lenovo Group’s profit in 2009 60% came from asset investment and only 40% came from manufacturing.....

He said: “when the typhoons come, even a pig can fly in the sky. Everybody is profiteering from this. Why can’t we?”

These are serious challenges Beijing’s now facing and seems to lack adequate policy tools to tackle...Hedge funds and Fed’s QE2 are not all to blame for all these. The Chinese economy already stands close to the edge. [Zerohedge]

-Sun Unleashes 'Spectacular' & Powerful Eruption: #
The sun unleashed a massive solar storm (June 7) at about 2:41 a.m. EDT (0641 GMT), in a dazzling eruption that kicked up a vast cloud of magnetic plasma that appeared to rain back down over half of the sun's entire surface, NASA scientists say....[Read]

A simple explanation... The enormity of the CMEs effect planetary magnetics; and when reaching earth, shift ocean and jet stream currents in Pacific Ring of Fire.... And this creates unusual and extreme global weather patterns, creating unstoppable Earth changes, and affecting the behavior patterns of all sentient life forms... (EC)

-Has our chain of command been consigned to secure a work-around?

Potential Solar events influence a 'severity' of [effects]; yet the current US administration targets its hammer & sickle political control of industry... Instead, they should be preparing for a work-around to counter-balance the disruptions, caused when [coronal mass ejections (CMEs)] reach earth...

What you can do, now... Plan a simple work-around for business, protect records, and in regions where this may apply; secure a back-up plan for retreat, to family, or second option... You are on you own...

Sullivan's Tribute to our Brave Men & Women; and the loved ones they left behind...

 

Then and today, we honor their service and sacrifice...
EVERY DAY, AND THE LAST MONDAY IN MAY, WE THANK YOU.....

 

CAPTION: This is a spare and simple video consisting of WWII-era Kodachrome slides and film footage honoring the servicemen and servicewomen and the loved ones they left behind...

The bare-bones recording was made by Vera Lynn as bombs fell upon Britain: the genuine sadness in her voice needs no violin accompaniment for effect.... Enormous gratitude for all US and Allies who serve, yesterday and today.
