Ha! Germany repatriating all their Gold is a sign of the times, isn't it? It just goes to show that the hyper-inflationary us dollar is ultimately going to take down the global economy. See how mighty the US army is when the debt ceiling can't be raised anymore.

I think this Nepinak is a radical. This kind of thing should be strongly discouraged. They are given way too much slack when it comes to tolerating their rhetoric.

This article definately relates to the content of this thread. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/dear-canada-first-nations-dont-want-to-be-wards-of-the-state/article7028879/ "I am the chief of the Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band.

Ya its like they think standards of whites is so high.

Solidarity is always good.

Fasting is actually very healthy

What about CEOs of large corporations????
