Miko Peled | mintpressnews.com | 2021-05-27

America's Next big Swing Towards Fascism is Much Closer Than we'd Like to Think
Rainer Shea | orinocotribune.com | 2021-05-27
In Germany during the start of the 1930s, the economic damage the country had already been undergoing throughout the last decade or so due to its imperial collapse from overconfident military adventures combined with the Great Depression to bring nationwide desperation.
