No Oil for Taiiban or Pakistan

 Both of these countries have many military vehicles, including battle tanks. 

They both get their oil, fully refined, by tanker trucks. that bring their fuel in from the gulf coast.

These Pipelines must be completely shut down

When People are Not aware of Time

Strange things happen.

Time is necessary for things to happen. And when it doesn't exist, they cannot happen. 

My brother, for example. believes in his church, but he cannot say which church. 

The church for some of its history, cannot say if Joseph Smith was in jail in Missouri or in Kirtland, Ohio. 

Money Laundering

I saw this happening at a  Walmart store the other day, 

The woman standing in front of me in the checkout line offered a 100 dollar bill in payment for her groceries. The clerk called the store manager. He appeared, looked at the bill, and told the clerk to give her the change, and walked off with the bill. 

What was going on here? Money laundering. 

A nicely dressed man had shown up at the woman's house, and gave her the 100 dollar bill, and told her to buy groceries with it at a Walmart store. That she did and drove off with a lot of groceries. The nice man showed up again and asked her for the change.

What happened at Walmart? All the 100 dollar bills were sent to a special location, where they were mixed with all the other bills that came in every day. 

Somehow, and I have no idea how, all that dirty money was replaced with clean money.

What happened next? A Bank examiner shows up and asks for the books. He looks at them, and sends a report "Walmart is doing some money laundering." and Walmart gets fined. 

Walmart complains to its bank, who notifies its representative in Washington. There are many of these, and they are strictly legal. They give the government a list of the companies they represent. And what they want in return is fewer bank examiners.

The End of the World

This has been prophesied for some time, thousands of years. If time had a beginning, if must have an end, and we must know about it.

That's the logic, anyway. And I have gotten used to it. The end of the world is nigh, and it is poking us in the butt. 

In one hundred years or so, we will be gone. And the time remaining will be eventful. 

What did we do Wrong?

 Everything, it looks like. First in Vietnam, then in Afghanistan

How on earth could we do eveything wrong twice?.
