Porque razão os bancos centrais asiáticos estão a comprar toneladas de ouro? - Não é ouro em si mesmo que lhes importa neste momento, mas é a forma mais expedita de se livrarem de US dollars!!

PCR é demasiado célebre, famoso, para ser suprimido. Além disso, ninguém pode dizer que ele tem afinidades ideológicas com o comunismo soviético. O facto de o ter compreendido em profundidade, contribuiu para que a equipa de Reagan desenvolvesse uma estratégia que acabaria por dar frutos.
Se Roberts não fosse a celebridade que é, com o currículo bem conhecido, os medíocres «analistas», iriam apontar a dedo e clamar «Trumpista! Putinista!» etc. como «motivo» para censurar tudo o que ele escrevesse. Estamos num novo tempo de intolerância. Talvez esta seja mais um efeito da «vacina» de COVID, a somar à incapacidade de pensar racionalmente.
