BY: William Holmes PEJOURNAL - News and information obtained from the latest anti-Iranian activities of the American think tank "Foundation for the Defense of Democracies" (FDD) indicate new measures that provide the necessary basis for the continuation of the "Donald Trump" administration's approach to the Iranian nation although in a winning face for Joe Biden.

BY: Andrew Rupp PEJOURNAL - Since the 1970’s, most member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have shown rising levels of income inequality (d’Agostino et al., 2020). In the USA the existence of income inequality is widely known, yet many remain unaware of the current, colossal levels of inequality (Norton and Ariely, 2011). Indeed, as recent as 2016, the combined global wealth of 99% of the world’s population was still less than that owned by the richest 1% (Oxfam International, 2017). In America in 2016, the wealthiest 10% owned nearly 80% of the nation’s wealth while…

Let's remember that in 2016, Trump invested 60 million of his assets to win the elections. Although…
