Hello,
I’m writing with critically important news for all. In March 2023, billionaire Peter Thiel started a bank run on Silicon Valley Bank. I was suspicious, and fell into a rabbit hole of over 1,500 hours of research.
In a nutshell, cryptocurrency is history’s largest Ponzi scheme, which will soon collapse the world economy. This is because we are victims of a “secret kleptocracy:” our government has been taken over by financial criminals whose only goal is to bleed the populace dry.
I’ve put together a booklet here with much more information: https://theponzipapers.substack.com/p/dipshit-secrets-of-our-rotten-world
How many year’s has the “Campus Echo” continued use existed at NCCU?
Are there any additional studies or references that support the argument in this article?

To me, as an alumna Eagle, the statistics of Eagles registered and planning to vote are pretty impressive! Also I think the whole staff is doing an extremely good job with the Echo this semester.. I was an English major as an undergraduate, although not with a specialization in journalism.
Michelle Obama’s speech in Michigan was I think the best I’ve ever watched, and I am 61. I suppose it might appeal to drama students because of its delivery but to all of us who work with language. The Republicans were wise enough not to attack her, which would have made the speech go viral, but I imagine it is still circulating. It is a very poignant commentary on all women’s health, women of all ages, and not JUST about the right to choose.
The economy is an important issue, sure. Harris has done a lot of good work as VP in NC with small businesses. And, as they say, God helps those who help themselves, although prayer and meditation are important. I cannot conceive of anyone listening to the first joke at the Trump rally Sunday about how Latinos have sex and not voting against him. Remember the REASONS Black men were lynched, the caricature of their sexuality in white racist discourse. Sarah Melissa Packard
