I must confess that, these days, I haven't been able to get a certain woman out of my mind. No, it's not what you think. You may have heard of her.

To get this disturbing concept into your brain, think of a shark frenzy. At first, there's this one shark chewing on a freshly killed tuna.

There are two levers of power that governments never consider giving up - and these are:1. The state controls education. It is compulsory. It teaches what the state mandates (whether delivered by public or private schools). It is a means of ensuring all citizens grow up with the right mindset - ..

According to the Ka-Poom Theory, bubbles always find black swan events -- “pins" to pop them and cause a market panic. And as John Mills, a historian of market panics, said, “Panics do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has been destroyed by its betrayal into .
