And to quote Bachman-Turner Overdrive, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. There are three events happening in the economy right now that could, alone, cause the prices of everything from food to the materials to make replacement parts for your vehicle to skyrocket. But if you combine them all together? We could be facing a perfect storm of economic havoc.  Continue reading “3 Things Happening RIGHT NOW That Could Wreak Havoc on the Economy”

What do we face now? If we trigger a world war that may develop into a nuclear war, humanity is finished. Why might such a war take place? It will take place as the curtain goes up on Act 3: Act 1 was World War I, Act 2 was World War II, Act 3 is going to be World War III. The Jews of the world, the Zionists and their co-religionists everywhere, are determined that they are going to again use the United States to help them permanently retain Palestine as their foothold for their world government. That is just as true as I am standing here. Not alone have I read it, but many here have also read it, and it is known all over the world.   Continue reading “The Amazing Warnings Of Benjamin Freedman”

The money was routed through call centers in India back to the ringleaders in eight states.   Continue reading “U.S. Breaks Up Vast I.R.S. Phone Scam”

White House officials, Republican politicians, and right-wing activists have been complaining recently about getting heckled and kicked out of restaurants and Ubers. Earlier this month, the Raleigh News & Observer reported that a local Uber driver had expelled six Republican volunteers from a ride, allegedly telling them as he pulled away, “Welcome to the resistance.” The response from mainstream pundits has largely been to call for civility, but there are strong historical reasons why some Americans don’t consider civility an absolute virtue.   Continue reading “Marginalized People Don’t Need Lessons in Civility”
