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

Yes, and this does appeal to me. However, I have too much stuff now. So : Choice: make up a trust for the land so kids can benefit and I can protect the cats and perhaps provide a farmette for others - like those in need. Keep my kids from fighting over everything - course with only one child left, not really a problem.  The grandies and great-grandies aren't all that old.  Can't get my hubby to consider that, though. Oh well.

Ron Paul: Why Obama Wants to Protect Saudi Arabia
April 19, 2016—Former congressman Ron Paul used his latest Liberty Report segment to discuss Saudi Arabia’s alleged threats concerning the $750 billion in Treasuries in its possession.

If the reports are true and Congress votes to strip the Saudi kingdom from its immunity from prosecution over the royal family’s alleged ties to the 9/11 attacks, what would it mean for the US dollar? While the threat could have serious financial ramifications, Paul argues, there’s more to this issue than meets the eye.

Ron Paul begins by going over the basics:

Hillary sold ARMS to ISIS

[Hankelvis]

And Eric Holder sold weapons to Mexico where ISIS was trained. This is what happens when organized crime takes over governments. http://click.email.aclj.org/?qs=8895edb6c254c0d5cd9ecdbcdc0c36bf4a7...

The debate was so rigged..Only ignorant  Liberals are blind to the truth. Liberals are making this election a total scam....It might be time for bullets to fly. Trying to use common sense and intelligence is not working because evil is evil.

I was reminiscing about being asked a standard question for a security clearance in the mid 70’s had I answered yes to this question I would not get a clearance.  “Have you ever worked with or for a group that was dedicated to overthrowing the United States of America?” Of course, the groups dedicated to overthrowing America had been Lenin’s group, Stalin’s group, Khrushchev’s group, Brezhnev’s group and the Communist Party USA. Today The democrat party nearly nominated an admitted Communist, Burney Sanders to be President of the United States. I find it incredible that 48% of the Democrat party supported him.  But then Barack Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan admitted that he voted for Gus Hall, Communist Party USA’s longtime general secretary in 1980. Has everyone forgotten why there was a Cold War? The Iron Curtain, the Bamboo Curtain, walls not to keep people out but to keep people in. Have you forgotten the purges that killed millions of people when the communist took over Russia, China, Cuba, Cambodia, and Eastern Europe?  You might say Oh: we are not going to Over through the USA but that task is not as difficult as you might think. It involves ignoring our laws, our Constitution, deny our unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness or Property. And again you will say no one is going to do that. But Obama never had any intention of taking the Constitution seriously. Instead, he has violated its core provisions at every turn, launching unauthorized wars, rewriting legislation without Congress’ input, and even creating brand new laws without legal precedence or consent of congress.

When Obama first uttered the phrase, “If Congress won’t act, I will,” he functionally declared war on the U.S. Constitution. 75 times he has attacked he Constitution with executive orders.  “Obama was already an ardent Marxist in the fall of 1980 when he attended Occidental college,” as stated by Dr. John Drew head of the campus Marxist organization at the University. “I know it’s incendiary to say this, but Obama is basically a Marxist-Leninist.” Obama, in Dreams from My Father, candidly recalled attending “socialist conferences” and how he “hung out” with Marxist professors, but what Obama did not explain, noted, is that he “was in 100 percent, total agreement with these Marxist professors.” So my dear family and friends who so defiantly defend the Democrat party and President Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Think about what has been presented here, I would like to think that if you do not support Trump then you are simply knave and not Communists.
