If inflation was calculated the same way that it was back in 1980, the inflation rate would be close to 10 percent right now…

Still think this is about keeping anti-tank bazookas out of the hands of the public? Think again. They’re after your guns, and all your rights.

I suspect these attacks are probing missions… If someone were attempting to bring it down, they need to know its ins and outs, and they need know where it is most vulnerable.

While Homeland Security and domestic intelligence agencies monitor the activities of American citizens and militarize local police forces under the pretext of safety, we now have a pretty good idea as to why our southern border has been left completely unprotected.

The molten ingredients of debt, civic decay and global disorder are conjoining in an explosive concoction leading to a conflagration which will flow across the globe on a scale not seen since the Second World War.

The premise behind Minerva is simple: study how violent political overthrow, aka mass civil breakdown, happens in the day and age of social networks, and be prepared to counteract it – by “targeting peaceful activities and protest movements.”
