Highways Railways and Warfare in the 21st Century
James Corbett, August 19 2017
this is a rigged game with loaded dice. The international “superclass” that pays no allegiance to any particular country is preparing to abandon the American empire as the engine of global dominance for a multilateral BRICS-fronted IMF-administered globalist slave state.
Wizard of OZ
Bob Rinear, August 16 2017
