By nations, I'm guessing you mean "nation-state". Some elites ( globalists ) want to destroy nations today for the same reason elites in the past destroyed tribes to form nations. They create a bigger "slave and land…

Neither party is for stronger US labor unions. Both parties are pro-globalism and pro-free trade. It was under a democratic president that China attained Most Favored Trading Nation status. It was Clinton, in the 90s,…

It isn't just social media. Google's censorship of their search results predates censorship on social media by a few years. It feels like a century ago, but traditional media and the elites attacked Google until Google…
