🇺🇸🇷🇴📣 Prof. Dan Dungaciu:
How has the parallelstate undermined America? Adam Lovinger was asking in his explosive book “How the Deep State Undermines America.” But… Romania?
Adam Lovinger is in Bucharest, part of the delegation from the prestigious Gold Institute for International Strategy, which is visiting us. A new American-Romanian institute has emerged, laying the foundations for an institutional partnership and some joint projects.
The Gold Institute for International Strategy is patronized by General Michael Flynn, former national security advisor to President Donald J. Trump. Adam Lovinger held the position of strategist in the Pentagon’s Office of Net Assessment, tasked with drafting the US National Security Strategy.
Keep your eyes on us!

Neste blir kanskje egen strøm, egen valuta og egen governance pipeline.
