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

News denier that's me.

Most people do not know how Putin played Obama. Even Obama does not see it.

Is this a reliable source?
"the NSA hacked the DNC to stop Hillary from becoming president. "

Let's back up a minute!

WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange Denies Russian Role in DNC Hack: ‘No Proof Whatsoever
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Monday told NBC’s Richard Engel that there was “no proof whatsoever” that Russian intelligence was involved in a recent hack of over 19,000 emails from the Democratic National 
The emails, which were released by WikiLeaks last Friday, revealed the committee’s bias toward presidential candidate Hillary Clinton over rival Bernie Sanders and led to the resignation of DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Sunday.

Prior to his interview with Assange, Engel had spoken to several leading U.S. cyber security experts who said that Russian intelligence was responsible for the email hack. But when asked by Engel to comment on those claims, Assange denied any Russian involvement.

The CIA was founded to undermine democracy overseas, to overturn elections, to influence internal politics of sovereign countries, to destabilize governments. And to lie to us about it.
Just sayin!

All the Democrats did.

Do they all worship Satan?

No.. Most Christian Democrats are just ignorant of what they do. Many young people are liberal because they care . That is proof that they have hearts. But when they get older and still have liberal agendas , shows that their brains never developed. But the liberals that are actually smart , are the ones with evil in their blood.
