The War On Wealth Is Accelerating - And British Taxpayers Are Heading For The Exits

Needed: A World War Against Globalism
Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker, The wars to come will ultimately pit freedom-loving peoples of many nations against the architecture of the State - composed of the bureaucratic Leviathans at the national and international level, taxpayer-funded news organizations, and the broad spectrum of so-called "non-governmental organizations" whose budgets and personnel nonetheless come directly from government agencies (including foreign and domestic covert intelligence services).

Your Shopping Bag Runs Through Hormuz
Authored by Larry C. Johnson via Sonar21, Every morning the cable networks put up the price of Brent and a graphic of a tanker, and every evening the experts reassure us that the oil is still flowing, more or less.

Against a world fleet of more than 8,000 tankers, that is a rounding error.
