The Dutch Tulip Bubble of 1637
The later part of the 20th century saw its share of odd financial bubbles. There was the real-estate bubble, the stock market bubbles, and the dot com bubble, just to name a few. In each instance of price inflation people paid exorbitant amounts for things that shouldn’t have been worth anything like the going price. And each time people stood around afterwards and said “What were we thinking?”

One has to believe that the same thought occurred to the Dutch in the 17th century when they settled down after their bout with tulipomania, wherein the humble tulip bulb began to sell for prices to make New York Realtors blanch.

As much as the tulip is associated with Holland, it is not native there. Rather it was introduced in 1593 by a botanist named Carolus Clusius, who brought it from Constantinople. He planted a small garden, intending to research the plant for medicinal purposes. Had Clusius’s neighbors been morally upright, the tulip might still be a rare exotic in the gardening world. Instead they broke into his garden and stole some of his bulbs in order to make some quick money, and in the process started the Dutch bulb trade

Israel, God's chosen people. Important then, important now.

the middle east is acting exactly how Russia and China planned it to happen. Russia could destabilize Iran anytime it chooses and China could destabilize N Korea also anytime they choose. Israel is a sitting duck in that region and only remains protected because they are key to Russia and China's long range plan. All human inhabits are God's chosen people, he created everyone and everything that lives or doesn't live. That is if you are a believer.

So Jack  was it Russia or China that told Obama to get out of  Iraq , Was it China or Russia that told Hillary and Obama to invade Libya. Was it China or Russia that Told George Bush Jr. To attack Iraq. Was it Russia or China that told George Bush Sr. To attack Iraq....Oh yea lets not forget Billy boy Clinton . I suppose you think it was Russia or China that told him to get NAFTA passed.... Jack . All these things were from the wishing well of the Bilderberg Boys...The Bilderberg Gang are the bosses of the Establishment. The Bush Family and The Clinton`s get their strings pulled by these people. Now , I do not feel like explaining everything to you. But that is the truth of it. Thank you for setting the stage so I could teach the lesson. What I suggest is for anyone to do is research and try to prove me wrong. Find out for yourself is the best way.

No Kevin I doubt that either Russia or China told Obama to get out of Iraq, they would have prefered we stay there, it plays right into their plans. No they didn't tell Bush to attack Iraq but they are very pleased we did. In fact every time America sticks its military into the middle east areas it is exactly what Russia and China want. If they didn't want that they would make every attack we try very painful. Bush, Clinton and individuals like you might get your strings pulled by the Bilderberg boys but neither China or Russia could care less what that group does or thinks. They may control the next cocktail party but that is about the strength of this group. Thanks for the lesson Kevin but I am not into conspiracy theories. 

Seeing how you think Russia is out smarting us. Then how come Putin is working hard against the globalism of the NWO.

Like all secrete organizations wither it’s the Mansions the CIA or Bilderberg Group people can make any story they want say anything and create whatever monster they like.  The truth is never the truth so people just keep on making up stories about something they know nothing about, because everything is secret.

 jack Ludwig I hope that you watched the above video carefully, watch all of it,  then perhaps we can talk about Never Trump intelligently.  

Well Bull I listened to the entire video all 1.40.05 as painful as it was. I didn't learn anything from this video but I am all ears if you care to enlighten me. I don't have a clue what it means for this election or how it will shine a light on the Never Trump view. I never heard Trump's name mentioned in the video unless I nodded off for a few seconds which is possible.

"IF" you listened to the tape and did not come away knowing how dangerous  a Clinton administration would be, not only to the United States, but to Israel, and the World, then you are a lost cause. The Bushes and the Clintons are stooges of Islam, bought and paid for. Islam wants Israel destroyed. You may think that ciaos in the middle east is good for Israel but the master plan is  for the Islamic Brotherhood to unite all of the middle east and then turn on the Jews and the West.

lol...I just sent out some text`s with that...GOOD ONE.
