I knew an Asian woman who was tied up and kidnapped by her "not Asian" boyfriend that she was breaking up with. She told me when they were driving, she was mouthing to people in cars, crying and showing her tied wrists, for help and no one called the police. I also knew two male jokesters and one of them while driving through downtown Berkeley stuck his body out the window of the car and screamed he was being kidnapped. The guy driving the car after he dropped his friend off at his house found the police waiting for him when he got home.

De-dollarization plan submitted to Russian gov't amid U.S. sanctions
MOSCOW, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- A de-dollarization plan for Russia's economy has been prepared and submitted to the government, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said Thursday.
"We will be creating a preferential treatment, encouraging our participants in foreign economic activities to use our national currency," Siluanov, also first deputy prime minister, told reporters.
The plan encourages exporters to gradually transition settlements in the U.S. dollar to the Russian ruble by 2024, and businesses resorting to settlements in rubles will have an accelerated return of the value added tax, Siluanov said.
The plan will not affect foreign currencies in deposits held by Russian citizens in Russian banks, Siluanov said.
Russian officials have repeatedly proposed moving away from the U.S. dollar to the ruble due to the U.S. sanctions on Russia.
The Russian government said Wednesday in a press release that it is mulling a reduction in the economy's dependence on the U.S. dollar, including through encouraging trade in the national currency, but there are no plans to fully abandon transactions in the greenback.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that the process of de-dollarization will be difficult.
"This is a process that cannot be short-term. It is stretched out in time. So this is very, very long and scrupulous work," Peskov said.
Relations between Russia and the West have deteriorated over the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain earlier this year. London accused Moscow of being involved in the attack while Moscow denied it.
U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order in September to further sanction Russia and blacklist another 33 Russian entities and individuals allegedly linked to the defense sector and secret services.
On the day of updating the sanctions, U.S. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said that the sanctions are "in response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine, annexation of Crimea, cyber intrusions and attacks, interference in the 2016 elections, and other malign activities."
Russia has long denied the allegations of interference in the U.S. presidential elections and hacker attacks.

The article lost me at:
"
The problem is that America’s will is already broken, as Bible prophecy said it would be (Leviticus 26:19). So is its cohesion with its allies. It has been weak in its responses to Chinese aggression in the South China Sea and elsewhere. It is pulling back as the foremost leader in the world, isolating itself from its traditional allies, and, despite its enormous spending on its advanced military, already losing battles of strategy against China.
China’s military expansion is a harrowing sign of what is about to befall America. To understand more about what the Bible says about China’s military advancement, be sure to read “.”
Since when does the Bible or anything religious has to do anything about China?

I have a friend who has kids that are half-white/half-Filipino who I've known since they were born. I think they were under ten and I started hearing them refer to themselves as white. I went up and told them they weren't white and the sooner they accept that, the less pain they're going to have in the future. Cesar Sayoc obviously didn't get that message. The irony is these people tend to be more on the extreme side because they need to prove themselves to be white when they should be satisfied and content thinking they're white.

"The Trumpet" is the publication arm of Armstrong's church which was founded when your father was just a gleam in your grandad's eye. Their style is to take the news of the day( which is why you hear China mentioned) and try to make it fit the prophecies of the church's founder. When I was "knee high to an Aboe's jockstrap" it was the troubles in the middle east which were adapted to fit the founders prophecies. I use to listen to the program on Sundays Christian radio for laughs and giggles.
