This week the Bless Their Hearts! News & Markets is open to the public.  All my work is reader supported. Thank you for sharing the good news.

UK

A lesson in universal health care and government.

Twenty-three-month-old Alfie Evans, passed away in a British hospital on Saturday. While the official cause of death was a degenerative brain disease, Alfie was basically murdered by the British health system and the British high court. Doctors at the hospital treating Alfie decided to remove his life support, against the wishes of Alfie’s parents. The high court not only upheld the doctors’ authority to override the parents’ wishes, it refused to allow the parents to take Alfie abroad for treatment.

Koreas

South Korean President Moon Jae-in has convinced North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to hold his historic meeting with US President Donald Trump at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas.

Iran

First off let's not forget 'the plan'. Ollie North called Bin Laden the scariest guy out there in the 1980s. This 'plan' is decades old.

The MO is the same old MO. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

LOL No thanks.

Also, let's not forget that the DOD admitted to losing 2.3 Trillion dollars on 9/10/2011 and it just so happens the only systems at the Pentagon that could have figured out where all that money went - it went up in smoke the very next day.

Insert Russia, Iran, Bin Laden. It's the same old MO.

"In a statement issued to the Arabic satellite channel Al Jazeera, based in Qatar, bin Laden said, "The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it.

"I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons," bin Laden's statement said.

"I have been living in the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan and following its leaders' rules. The current leader does not allow me to exercise such operations," bin Laden said. "

Israel appears to be preparing for open warfare with Iran and is seeking U.S. help and support. Well DOH! Why do you think he stood there with all that paper saying the US says it is authentic! Iran isn't following the deal!

This isn’t the first time Netanyahu pitched the U.S. on war in the Middle East. He did the exact same thing, using the exact same playbook, in the run up to the Iraq war.

Worked before right?

We have video evidence of his 2002 testimony to Congress, during which he hyperventilated and exaggerated about Iraq’s grave threat to the world as a result of its non-existent WMDs. He was so wrong on Iraq, to such a disastrous degree, it’s amazing anyone listens to him at all anymore.

The reality is there is no proof they are not following the deal. Just Bibi's word and I don't take Bibi's word for anything.

ROTFLOL silly rabbits. My two cents. I am not judging either one. I am sure they all believe they are doing good.

An Israeli war with Iran in Syria is far from inevitable. Iran is establishing itself militarily in Syria and Israel has declared that it will prevent that by force.

I have faith, hope and love it can all be negotiated and a win win for all. Otherwise, knock yourself out Israel. You don't need the US. You go for it if that is what you desire.

The majority of the people of the US are done judging others. They wish one thing. No More War - No More Judging Others.

We don't have to like how they live or think. It's not our country. Not our world. Not our problem. I don't care what the DNI says it is not a national security issue. It never has been. Not ever.

It's always it could, it might, it is possible which means much ado about nothing.

Facebook

CEO Zuckerberg stated that “This is an example of the kind of control we think you should have,”

ROTFLOL

Note what he said.

the kind of control WE think You should have.

It belongs to them.

Let me be clear since he won't be clear and no one else will be clear either. I was a network computing analyst for over 2 decades and for much of that time I was at the number one cancer hospital educational research facility in the world.

If your data hits his servers the data belongs to him not you. When you made the account you agreed to it. Every click on every ad, every remark on a book or movie, every time you ask for lives in some game, every time you send a message, everything is theirs. They can tell you it is deleted all they want but it isn't.

That is not good business. They are in business. They sell your data you freely give them to others. It's like a second hand store. You give your old clothes for free to them. They resell it.

I don't care if it is Facebook or any other site out there. It hits their servers, it belongs to them unless it is explicitly stated otherwise.

They keep this data. They have backups. They have Disaster plans. They have redundant servers that roll and push that data to backups and it happens every second of every day. These backups are checked and are made redundant. In other words, there are backups for the backups.

There are other choices out there.

Minds.com does not sell your data and is using crypto to fund the site. You get crypto coins for posting, sharing, liking posts and you get cryptos taken from you for dislikes of posts. Yes. You get to dislike posts there.

They are just like Facebook but they don't make their money from your data. They make it by being social and rewarding that.

It's still a loop. A feedback loop. You don't really need that like. You just enjoy it when you get it so you go back for more.

It's just a habit.
