So, it has tolerated a more equitable distribution of income and access to consumption purchasing power. But while the masses became...

PoliticoCheney: Use of chemical weapons is 'red line' for NATO intervention (false flag locked in? Here we go again. Syria redux. When I was serving as naval officer in the Western Pacific at the time  of the Gulf of Tonkin false flag, I smelled a rat.
