Ponzi World (Over 3 Billion NOT Served)

The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

The Middle East: Graveyard of Egos And Empires

The U.S. overthrew the Iranian government in 1953. Twenty-seven years later, the Iranians threw out the U.S. puppet government. In retaliation, the U.S. supported Saddam Hussein during the Iran Iraq war (1980-1988).

Around that same time, the Soviets Union went into Afghanistan, and then collapsed nine years later. Afghanistan was already known as the "graveyard of empires".

That seemed like such a great idea, the U.S. tried it as well. Attacking former ally Iraq at the same time for good measure, based upon fake and contrived "intelligence". The two biggest blunders in U.S. history, after Vietnam. Sadly taken up by the same armchair generals who had dodged the 1960s draft.

Now, both flagging empires are converging in Syria, which is seeing the largest human migration in modern history.

ISIS loves these keystone cops.
