Comment: Isn't it a little bit strange that two explosions occur at almost the same time in Russia and China?!

I'm sure that most readers here will remember the recent explosions at the refinery in France... If I remember correctly parts of a 'device' where found in the vicinity there.

I personally wouldn't be surprised to find that the start of this explosion in China had similar assistance.

There is a meteor shower...

You have to wonder if that is related.

The Future Trend...

Asymmetric War, perhaps? Accidents do happen, but if they happen so often and on such a grand scale, then i start to question these events. France wanted to give Russia its Mistral ship, for which it paid for, then France its industrial area got hit by some unfortunate attacks too and after that they had to decline and just give Russia a refund. After reading the Munich Security Conference Report i have to say the future looks rather bleak for the unprepared or the simply unwealthy of us, or should i say global feudal serf? because that is what it rather sums itself up too. I expect the Chinese currency to devalue, and i don't expect the issue in the Ukraine, or Syria to be resolved. If anything, this is a clear indication there will be war if we aren't already in one if its the asymmetric one where they keep everything quiet media wise. Still, it could always be a accident what happened in China. Time will tell.

Quote of the Day

Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world - few really ask. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds - justifications, confirmations, forms of consolation without which they can't go on. To really ask is to open the door to a whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.
