Some readers have asked questions in regard to the popular conspiracy stuff about various notorious groups and why I disagree with such CONSPIRACY theories. My point is this.

When the USA started bombing Libya, even support for Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi was at 85% and at its lowest point it was 15%. Today,  57% of voters not affiliated with either […]

I was in Australia, and Macquarie Bank had funded an education program at Macquarie University. I was given a tour since they were so proud.
