WORLDRETHINK: Twitter tour on Saturday, September 28, 2019 - The Ukrainian President!

Domingo Trassens

@trassens

#WR: Who really is Mr. Zelenskiy? According to @dwnews the Ukrainian President is a political neophyte. In his call with US President, he criticized the EU, France and Germany; asking to Mr. Trump for protection against Russia, like a child acts when he fears a bully. #Zelenskiy

WORLDRETHINK: Special Twitter tour on Sep. 27, 2019 - After a week of Clima speeches!

Domingo Trassens

@trassens

#WR: After one week of “Climate Change” speeches… (Some of them with the hysteria of Greta), we have to say that we agree that the #ClimateChange is a real problem. But it doesn’t start in the "top of the hill". It starts in everybody of us who throws #trash in the wrong place.

 

#WR: Greta Thunberg in the UN's theater! What authority she has to accuse world leaders of “empty words” in the combat of climate change? She is a teenage. daughter of a Swedish family of artists and movie makers. What are her scientific roots? #GretaThunbergShow #ClimateHysteria

WORLDRETHINK: Twitter tour on September 26, 2019 - Impeachment in elections time!

Domingo Trassens

@trassens

#WR: Impeachment in elections time! After the White House released the transcript of President Trump call with the Ukrainian President, everybody is talking about it. Personally, I think only lawmakers have the power to go ahead with the #impeachment. And the Congress is divided!

• When I studied  historiography, philosophy and economy in the university, I learned to read what are the "sources" the author references in the book. In some books, the references are in the last part of the book. In other cases, you have to search in the bottom line of each chapter or page. A book without explicit "sources" has not bibliographic value. I have my own method to evalue books with economic and historic information.
