We're on an Apollo 13 mission: Gen Kranz the Flight Director at the time said,"When bad things happen, we just calmly laid out all the options and failure was not one of them". Tough and competent, "we are forever accountable for what we do or fail to do. We will never take anything for granted. We will never fall short of our knowledge or our skills".

delay their mission by limiting their exposure to others in the days
before they lift off. This period, called the health stabilization
program, typically starts about 14 days before launch. Beginning
quarantine now preserves flexibility as teams work toward potential

All through human life we have been hard on one another and loving to the ones in our own realm. Comes a time that our differences have failed us all. In order to secure our existence a sharing of cultures is needed. From afar Mother Earth is a Ship, we are indeed all crew mates. Together is more value than we can acquire on our own.
An example of this is your friends daughter calls out your name running to you and jumps into you arms, crashing into your heat so full as if she was your own. How did you earn such gratitude? The answer is simple, you cared. You sacrificed time off your own life clock without compensation to fulfill her life, in what she needed and you knew her need.
As a whole the world economy can support each country equally, meaning it's people. Individual purpose is the gem of life, bringing morale from skill sets leaned. A purpose which enriches others to enjoy the fruits of labor created from all of us and shared around the world.
A true world economy, make it so. Miles away will bridge our differences.
Ah, Halloween with it's Hunter Moon has dry docked a former Swiss Banker, yes you heard that right. The former managing director and vice chairman of a Swiss bank was sentenced to 10 years in prison today, after previously pleading guilty for his role in a billion-dollar international scheme to launder funds embezzled from Venezuelan state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA).
Matthias Krull, 44, a German national and Panamanian resident, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, on Aug. 22. U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga of the Southern District of Florida sentenced Krull to serve 120 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Judge Altonaga also ordered Krull to pay a fine in the amount of $50,000 and a forfeiture money judgment of $600,000.
This investigation is going deep from HSI (Homeland Security Investigation) around the world today into money laundering. Not only did Krull plead guilty but he flip his crew! Krull’s co-conspirators indicted on Aug. 16, include former PDVSA officials, professional third-party money launderers and members of the Venezuelan elite, sometimes known as “boliburgués.”
The investigation was conducted by HSI Miami, HSI London, HSI Rome and HSI Madrid. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant Chief David Johnson and Trial Attorney Gwendolyn A. Stamper of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Nadler of the Economic and Environmental Crimes Section of the Southern District of Florida. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nalina Sombuntham of the Southern District of Florida is handling the asset forfeiture. (Full article from DOJ)

Time now for the Spin Doctor, this little score is titled 'Foggy Beginnings'
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has told European Parliament that Brussels' actions against Budapest "violates the EU treaty."
Under pressure from the European Union Commission, Orban is facing a vote that could see Hungary lose its voting rights in the bloc for undercutting democracy and EU core values. Sounds like YouTube with its community guidelines.
Orban said:
"I stand here in front of you and I defend my country because, for Hungarians, liberty democracy independence and Europe are matters of honor." - "What you are doing here is a slap in the face of the Union"
"We have defended Hungary, and we have defended Europe."
"We have a different picture about the nature of Christianity in Europe and the role of nations and cultures in our country."
Also, Orban is under pressure from the EU by the tight sorts in Brussels for going against Soros and visiting with Russia. The dismantled John McCain, who once described Orbán as "a neofascist in bed with Putin." Well, your dead right John, who wants to be in bed with the far left Liberal socialist? Which can be extended to Communism and Marxism, which Hungary wants no part of, which the EU is becoming!
Let's listen to Orban on this issue.
Well, this gets real interesting when Nigel Farage MEP, UK Independence Party says, "thank GOD, there is a leader like PM Orban who stands up for his country."
Yeah, Amen.
Update 9/18/18 - Orban’s Moscow visit a middle finger gesture to EU after last week’s humiliation.
No Name has put on quite a show during and since his exit from Congress. Terminal brain cancer to a boot that switched legs and message to President Trump as to not attend his funeral. On Aug 24th, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment. On Aug 25th, the public learns of his death. There is much pain coming down the pike for members in Congress, many have stepped down others are in fear of contagion of disturbance of who will sing? With the money, No Name has amassed for himself is it possible to avoid conviction and witness your own funeral?

President Donald Trump changed the appointment process for administrative law judges on Tuesday with an executive order that puts the power with federal agency heads or the president himself.
Issued as he flew to the NATO summit in Brussels, the order follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that decided administrative law judges of the Securities and Exchange Commission are subject to the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In the Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission, the justices held the administrative law judge who handed down a fine on an investor was not constitutionally appointed. The ruling put in doubt the constitutionality of other administrative law judges and opened up potentially thousands of cases to be re-litigated.
The White House framed the executive order as a solution to “ongoing legal uncertainty over administrative law judge appointments and authority” and allowing “the enforcement of dozens of important laws protecting Americans.
The order also serves as an “important step in preempting arguments going forward that administrative law judges have been unconstitutionally selected and that their decisions should be overturned.”
The Fed has released the results of its most recent Dodd-Frank Stress Tests. This year, 18 of the largest and most complex banks were subject to both the quantitative and qualitative assessments. The 17 other firms in Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) were subject only to the quantitative assessment. Decisions as a manager, you take into account qualitative factors like reputations, brand strength and employee morale, as well as quantifiable data such as sales figures, profitability and return on investment. Quantitative factors include a firm's projected capital ratios under a hypothetical scenario of severe economic and financial market stress. Qualitative factors include the strength of the firm's capital planning process, which incorporates risk management, internal controls, and governance practices that support the process.
The Board objected to the capital plan (share buybacks) from Deutsche Bank USA Corporation due to qualitative concerns. Due in part to recent changes to the tax law that negatively affected capital levels. The cut in the corporate tax rate from 35 per cent to 20 per cent cut the value of deferred tax assets. Furthermore, Trump tax reforms eliminated a beneficial tax treatment that had enabled banks to smooth their earnings by carrying losses forwards or backwards from periods of crisis.
The Fed failed the U.S. subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, citing widespread and critical deficiencies in its planning, limiting the unit’s ability to send capital home to Germany.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley agreed to freeze payouts at previous years’ levels. Both banks were required to rein in their dividend and stock buyback plans after the Fed warned their initial, more bullish, proposals would have left them with inadequate capital buffers.
JPMorgan Chase, American Express, KeyCorp and M&T Bank Corporation also rethought their original plans for payouts to shareholders, although they got the thumbs up after submitting more modest plans in the past week, the Fed said.

Global debt rose to a record $233 trillion in the third quarter of 2017. According to the most recent data (6/6/18) from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the total notional amounts outstanding for contracts in the derivatives market is an estimated $542.4 trillion!
In violation of the Truth in Lending Act, Wells Fargo has created and maintains a credit card program through which it actively encourages retailers to build the “fees” that these merchants must pay Wells Fargo into the regular-price of goods and services, while representing to retail consumers that the goods and services that they purchase are being financed at zero percent interest. In reality, Wells Fargo’s financing scheme results in the creation of illegal hidden finance charges, and the imposition of double-digit interest rates on consumers. (still making money the old fashion way, steal it!)
6/28/18 - Former Chief Financial Officer of Bankrate Inc. Pleads Guilty
Edward J. DiMaria, 53, of Fairfield County, Connecticut, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to make false statements to a public company’s accountants, falsify a public company’s books, records and accounts, and commit securities fraud; and one count of making materially false statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The scheme caused more than $25 million in losses to Bankrate’s shareholders.
“The consequences of this type of financial fraud scheme are far reaching, affecting not only the economy in the United States, but also the world’s financial markets,” said Inspector in Charge Adame. “Those who engage in this type of abuse of power while in positions of authority should know they cannot escape detection. They will be found and they will be held accountable for their actions. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has a long history of investigating complex financial fraud schemes, like this one, in order to protect investors and the integrity of the financial marketplace.” (end DOJ news)
It's good to see many Banks raising dividends for shareholders and increasing capital position. But we're not out of the woods yet, we're still seeing market manipulation which has been with us since inception and what's good about that it's being exposed.
Be careful out there and stay frosty, luck is not a factor.
The former Ukip leader Nigel Farage said he would “absolutely” advise the Tory party to get rid of Theresa May as Prime Minister. “I mean, she’s boxed herself into a position now where we will for the foreseeable future actually be in a worse position than we were before we voted to leave. It’s ludicrous. The potential Brexit deal is of course worse than being in the European Union."
It's obvious that the puppet masters of pro-Brussels Tories don't want Britain to exit the EU and the people of Britain want PM May sacked!
The Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn asked PM Theresa May when meeting POTUS at the G-7 did she do as the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson suggested?
"We had productive discussion on having fair and reciprocal trade and market access."
"We're linked in the great effort to create a more just and prosperous world. And from the standpoint of trade and creating more prosperous countries, I think they are starting to be committed to more fair trade. We as a nation lost $870 billion on trade...I blame our leaders and I congratulate leaders of other countries for taking advantage of our leaders." (that's a real slap!)
"If they retaliate they're making a tremendous mistake because you see we have a tremendous trade imbalance...the numbers are so much against them, we win that war 1000 times out of a 1000."
"We're negotiating very hard, tariffs and barriers...the European Union is brutal to the United States....the gig is up...there's nothing they can say."
"We're like the piggy bank that everybody's robbing."
"I would say the level of relationship is a ten - Angela, Emmanuel and Justin - we have a very good relationship. I won't blame these people, unless they don't smarten up and make the trades fair."
Asked if Crimea should be considered Russia now:
"You'd have to ask President Obama because he's the one who let Crimea get away. He allowed Russia to take Crimea. I may have had a much different attitude.
Some people like the idea of bringing Russia back in." (end quotes)
Like anything, there's the rub when the feed bag is going to be removed from politicians. No more games folks, Putin and Trump are running the show and who's riding shotgun? The people of the world.
Now for that clip after the briefing, seems like a Kleenex monument.
“There are agents all over this country who love the bureau (FBI) and are sickened by James Comey’s behavior and Andrew McCabe and Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch and the thugs like John Brennan–who despise the fact that the bureau was used as a tool of political intelligence by the Obama administration thugs,” former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova told The Daily Caller Tuesday. (from Zero Hedge)
“They are just waiting for a chance to come forward and testify.” (BreitBart)

For starters, after President Trump was elected, President Putin (aka The Russian 'Patton') of Russia is elected for 6 more years!

COMPELLING REASONS To End The FEDERAL RESERVE:
Federal Reserve globalist owners interfere with stock and bond markets; foment and fund wars; manipulate and meddle in our politics and elections; and financially leverage industries, corporations and commodities such as food and fuel to destroy or invigorate our economy to suit their own ends. There are hundreds of sources throughout the Internet to support these claims. In addition to the sources cited within this Petition, the video and article sources are also shown below for your review.
1) Any authority previously given to the Federal Reserve be immediately terminated;
2) The President and Congress fully reestablish Congress' singular power to mint, regulate, print, or otherwise control the form, amount, and backing of all U. S. legal tender;
3) Our U.S. Government undertake all necessary means to assure the ongoing operation and stability of U.S. currency;
4) Presidential Executive Order #13818 be applied to any Federal Reserve-affiliated person or entity involved in corruption, trafficking, etc., and that all assets thereof be frozen; and
5) All assets held by the Federal Reserve, and any and all of its holders of value, be nationalized and applied to reducing the federal deficit.
