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

Well they will try but it seems power is slipping away from them.
I still maintain there will be December as well as January surprises so to speak as I just do not see how they can allow themselves to be out of power just for simple self preservation.

There may not even be a fat lady to sing at this rodeo.
Literally anything can happen now.

Obama will be easier to prosecute for hate crimes if he is local.

Hannity Exposes Obama’s Sick Plan To Steal Election From Trump On Monday, It Could Work
Stated Hannity, “The alt-radical left is doing everything it can to try and convince these electors not to do their job and not vote for Donald Trump. It even gets worse. We’ve recently learned that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are directly tied to this plan. Now, the DailyCaller is reporting that a public relations firm that represents some of these “faithless electors” was co-founded by former White House adviser Van Jones.”

NWO agenda is WW3. A huge war will set the stage to usher in a New World Order. But Trump understands this.. CNN is the propaganda network for George Soros and the elite inner circle of the Bilderbergs. CNN has over taken MSNBC as the progressive main news network. CNN is world wide. Trump is loved in many countries because of his stance against Globalism.CNN will be relentless in their attacks of Trump.We need to point this out to ignorant liberals.If we can open their eyes to the truth. Then most will become helpful in defeating the NWO movement. I have been talking about it for years . I have been called crazy many times. Over recent years I do not get called crazy near like the old days. Many people are willing to listen when you speak intelligently about the subject. When they ask a question you must have the answer....We are winning because more and more people are understanding the truth of it...The more teachers we make, the more winning we do....Just keep teaching all the time.

Reminds me of the fake Syrian kids allegedly gassed and Obama needed to go in and save them.

Has anyone noticed that not one word has been said about the illegal activity disclosed by the DNC and Clinton E-Mails??  It all about Russia?
