Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.

OK, Turkey experts, oil experts, historians, sleuths. I'm looking at a 1945 US intelligence document about a clandestine source in "Oil City." This source is being paid in Turkish lira. What do you think Oil City is and why?

I do not know the answer to this.
