The anti-government protests in Thailand are against corruption. This is the same trend we are seeing in Ukraine and will erupt in Europe, Japan, and then eventually the USA after 2016. The economy has to turn down before you get protests. The downside of these types of protests is when the police benefit from the […]

The significance of Ukraine is far beyond what the mainstream press has dared to even portray. This is how Empires, Nations, and City States eventually collapse.

He said there is talk about electronic money, but was not entirely sure why the banks are behind […]

Nigel Farage tells it like it is – Europe is by no means a democracy – it’s run by big banks, big business, and big bureaucrats. There is no actual democratic movement. The EU Commission has no problem removing any politician who dares to stand up against them. Yes, I accept cookies and get the […]
