<br/><br/><br/><br/>It is good to keep up with Obama, Healthcare Reform, Immigration system in crisis, troubled economy, earthquakes in Haiti, Italy, and Canada, oil spill in the Gulf, securing borders, and Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq but it is the strength of local economies that will keep America's economy strong, stable and out of the red. In my state of Georgia Rob Teilhet is running for Attorney General and is Dealing a deathblow to his opponent with an issue that pains me to my heart not to talk about. In 2009 one of the tanks at the Columbus Water Works collapses with a big boom, spilling over 6 million gallons of water into the surrounding neighborhoods and onto Columbus' major vein highway, J.R. Allen Parkway. the tanks collapsing is a local incident but this is the water calculus with national implications that is very prophetic. Now the spill came before the fire, before the fire at the historical Bibb Mill, which was the largest fire in Columbus History. The Bibb Mill was one of the first mills in Columbus that fueled the economy and social life. They said the fire was started at the old abandoned building by homeless people trying to keep warm. Officials ruled the cause of the fire undetermined which sparked a national response that brought in the A.T.F. Trusted Mayor Jim Wetherington will not run in 2010 opening a vacant seat for those candidates with the best sign design and in this mayoral race it is the candidate with the 'Best Sign' who will win the vacant Mayor seat in my city. With the capture of one of the F.B.I.'s 10 most wanted, Micheal Regis, the reopening of the 1984 ax killings and indictment of Micheal Curry, the accused, and an appeal of the stocking stranglings and its accused, Carlton Gary. There are many issues to platform on along with a statewide election there seems to be a changing of the guard. <br/> From persons like Obama to issues on Immigration to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq to self checkouts in Wal-Mart to the 3M self checkout system at the library to shopping online or on the phone we live in a do it your self age. These incidents are truly signs for not only my city but for the world that, that part of America that was locked away in the second part of the 20th century, silently, is now made whole again and it are those events and situations that help provide solutions to problems we face as a nation.</div>Press Releasetag:crimespace.ning.com,2010-07-20:537324:BlogPost:2418562010-07-20T18:00:00.000ZMosi Tyrone Wellshttps://crimespace.ning.com/profile/MosiTyroneWells

He shoots it out with his pursuers and begins to question on Acosta at gunpoint. My novel is a fiction novel but truth lies within fiction and if a person takes the time to read this action-packed suspense thriller they might be able to find that buried treasure that lies within its pages. My novel’s plot, story, and characters are politically, socially, economically, and religiously based off of what we are experiencing in the 21st century as my themes revisit the 1940’s and 30’s as we experience these times in the commencement of a new millenium and century.</font></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><font color="#000000">Mosi stuffed the gun in his waist, grabbed the snatch bar and got in position. Mosi had to knock him unconscious with the first blow. The man opened the door slowly with gun in hand. When the man entered the office and came within reach Mosi held the snatch bar in one hand and swung with all his might striking the man in the slope of his head. As blood exploded from the man’s head he was dazed and weakened. Mosi jumped down finishing him with a right cross to his chin. He spun around in a drunken stupor, sending him to the floor unconscious. He went through his pockets and found a large wad of money. He took the money and the gun. He found several zip ties and bound the man’s hands and feet and quietly exited the office. He ducked low and ran across the walk. The two men spotted him and began to shoot. Mosi dove, sliding for cover as the gunshots flew past him, and bullets ricochet. He was pinned down under gunfire. He fired back but could not get a clear shot at his pursuers. He noticed one man was hiding next to an 83 Ford Crown Victoria with a motor raised high above it on a crane with chain. He zoomed in on the weak link. It was the third link from the top. He had to wait for the precise moment. He took the .45 automatic that he got from the man bound in the instructor’s office. The large, heavyset dark haired man moved slowly around the car, he was right under the large V8 motor. Mosi had the .45 aimed, the link in sight. He fired several rounds in succession. The chain was broke, the motor fell and came crashing down hard on the man. He screamed in pain. The man in the cowboy hat went to his rescue this bought Mosi some free time. He went down the steps. The man under the motor was out cold bleeding badly, he wouldn’t make it. Mosi made his way down to the man in the cowboy hat. He took cover and fired shots to force him out from behind the car. The big man came out from behind his cover firing shots. The man in the cowboy hat had a black Magnum .357. He ran out of ammo. When Mosi heard the gun click he said, “Put your hands up in the air and slowly come out from behind the car.”</font></span></p>

First hands then the rest of him. He walked slowly out from behind the car out into the open as Mosi aimed the glock, chest high, with his right hand steadying the trigger and his left<br/>hand holding it steady. The large man had age in his face. He was rough, firmly built.</font></span></p>
<p style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto" class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><font color="#000000">“Who are you working for?” asked Mosi in a firm but suttle tone.</font></span></p>

Mosi moved forward aiming the gun point<br/>blank at his head.</font></span></p>

You know too much”, said the big man as he grimaced in pain.</font></span></p>

I tell you nothing.” Mosi fired off a round from his glock a shell casing hit the ground. The big man’s hat flew off his head. He lay flat on his back with his right leg back as if he were stretching. Mosi got on the cell phone to Thomas and began going through the big man’s pockets.</font></span></p>

The question is asked, "Do you see what is happening to the dollar?" In my opinion it is truly losing its first place position, but not strength due to too much electronic trading that is allowed to go on with little intervention. The major companies on the DOW and S&P are international companies whom are generating profits that are causing the stock market to see growth. European companies are on their way to recovery while the gut of Wall street is like a gaping hole in the middle of the city of Guatemala. When stocks plunged 999pts in 15 minutes and recovered 600pts in the same amount of time, it were these gaping holes that stopped us from true recovery. The source of these gaping holes are speculated to be faulty trading that occurred within a labyrinth of electronic exchanges. A thief doesn't give a dam and those that do don't know exactly how it is occurring. A funny thing happened on the way to the future; The DOW falls at least 10%. A trading halt of an hour to a half an hour will occur. These trading halts create windows of opportunity for investors and investment groups to cancel bad trades or the opportunity to manipulate the market and shake investors confidence with over selling causing panic on Wall street. Now whom does this panic benefit? That just cannot happen to the U.S. stock market but the system failed and it could happen again and even though the U.S. is the best house in the worse neighborhood right now with rising earnings, low interest rates, and investors flocking to the U.S. Dollar as a safe-haven play. But with sluggish overall conditions and near term profitability issues in livestock and dairy sectors, investors in agriculture, which is usually a safe-haven, are being cautious in their purchasing decisions. This Panda bear market shows just how intertwined world markets are and with the DOW still under tremendous pressure due to fears of the debt crisis in Greece, the fundamentals of the game have shifted from a game of baseball or basketball to a globally linked game of soccer(or rugby), an international game loved by Europeans as Americans love Football, Baseball, and Basketball. <br/>With Greece being the epicenter of the financial earthquake the Federal System which dominated global and domestic markets in the late 19th and 20th centuries, created jobs, a centralized banking system known as the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve Note, and F.D.I.C. The Federal System has led the way for over 150 years now and only relinquishes its number 1 position to maintain it. The dominoes were set up long before but began to fall in 2008 with the collapse of Lehman Brothers. With all the breakdowns from then up to present day bears witness to a tearing down of the Federal System which is being replaced by the Euro system.<br/>The Euro sign is crossed by two parallel lines, which symbolizes the stability in the Euro system which is controlled by the European Central Bank, the world's most important central bank right now. Unlike the Federal Reserve Bank, it has one primary objective with others subordinate to it. The primary objective of the E.C.B. is tot take care of the foreign reserves of the Euro system and promote smooth operation of money market infrastructures under the Target payment system. In the debt crisis of 2007, the E.C.B., loaned billions in Euros to stabilize bank systems and in conjunction with the Federal Reserve, under the Term Auction Facility, to improve dollar liquidity in 'the zone' and stabilize the money market. <br/>With the number 2 system in the number 1 spot this shows how we have revisited the past as far back as the American Revolution, evidenced by mock tea parties around the U.S.</div>

My mongoose series deals with the main character who searches for the roots of a 40 year old plot to not just take his life or the life of the blackman but to dissenfranchise every minority in America. the main character is comparable to the black agents within the FBI and CIA and the black Generals in the United States Armed Forces. As a young black male, whom is an ex-con the main character is exonerated of escape charges after being on the run from a crazed U.S. Marshall wo goes psychologically over the edge as he sells out for more money and power. This series of novels shows the plight of the blackman in America as he tries to succeed within a system that is designed for him to fail and ultimately die a horrible death at the hands of the very system he works for and laws he risk his life to protect. The 20th Century was a time of great advancements for America and Humanity, native americans, polish, irish, oriental immigrants and blacks who struggled in the previous 3 centuries, evolving and ultimately making this country what it is today. SOLITAIRE MONGOOSE begins the embodiment of all these struggles in the 21st century and new millenium but SOLITAIRE MONGOOSE is only the first in a series of novels carefully crafted to explore these distinct possiblities. The character in this series is African-American but his plight is universal!
