Seems the book can be downloaded from the CIA website? Or perhaps it's just an article of Fritz Springmeier that relates to the book? https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC2F53710...

But humans generally like to organise things hierarchically and I would think database are not well suited for this purpose. That is, unless there exists some kind of tree structured database that I don't know about ... Many years ago

As others have mentioned the best solution is to just build a massive supply of houses, in order for supply to outstrip demand. This, however, is unlikely to happen in the next 10-15 years. Especially if The Netherlands keeps the current im

In The Netherlands I don’t think this would make a big difference around the major cities as there is a huge housing shortage and this will stay the same at least for the next 10 years, probably more much longer.

Because if people consume more, they would pay more and wealthier people generally consume more. The problem with income tax is that low income people risk being put in jail if they can't pay their taxes. And rich people can easily avo

It’s a bit unfair to label Ivermectin as horse drug while it has been used for a very long time by millions of people (very effectively) as a treatment for parasites. Which is why the inventors of Ivermectin won a nobel price for their inve

I am of the opinion that income tax is immoral, but tax on consumption (VAT) is justified. Tax on property is justified as long as a base level is tax free, e.g. the first 500.000 USD in property (including pension funds, home, car, stocks)
