Capitalism and Bolshevism are the two sides of the same international Jewish coin.
Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you.
It's insane how many Roman coins are being found! It's as if all Romans had holes in their pockets. They sowed coins wherever they went. Even in the fields. Maybe to grow money. . .

The combination of fear and ignorance (two sides of the same coin) can be paralyzing.
My advice is flip a coin. If you regret the way it landed, then go with your gut.
