The Revolutionary War, Branch Davidians Tragedy, Population Collapse, Cloud Seeding, China and Much More...

Doug Casey's Take [ep.#317]

In this podcast episode, Doug and I tackle a broad spectrum of topics, weaving together current events and historical context.

From the U.S. Revolutionary War and the misconceptions surrounding it, to Charles Darwin's death and Mae West's imprisonment, and the tragedies involving the Branch Davidians and the Oklahoma City bombing.

We also touch on government incentives for childbirth amidst ongoing population decline, China and the advantages of small 19th-century European coins as an investment.

We wrap up by discussing Argentina's foreign policy decisions and its formal request to join NATO.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
