by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:
Territorial disputes are a delicate thing… and potentially deadly as well.
That’s why the U.S. is backing up its positions with an ever-increasing presence of warships in the South China Sea.
China is very touchy about these territories, and unwilling to give up what they perceive as their waters, even as a UN tribunal just denied their claims and strengthened the U.S. hand.

Decline of Empire: Parallels Between the U.S. and Rome, Part I

by Doug Casey, International Man:

But… But… the folks at the “fact checking sites” said these were all being shipped overseas…. Then again, they never did have an answer for why there were guys with helmetsand construction gear in lots of the trucks… but who knows, maybe their sources told them the soldiers were stowaways…
All kidding aside… with all the credible threats from Black Lives Matter… and with the information contained in the documents linked to below… the same ones no one reads before they say, “BS!” Here’s an idea… since our country is on the line… and slipping away fast… how about everyone take a little extra effort to help one another be better informed… myself included. I welcome all the emails I’ve been getting!
