‘From ancient Mesopotamia right down to present day London, the ascent of money has been an indispensable part of the ascent of man, but money’s rise has never been a smooth upward ride. Financial history has repeatedly been interrupted by gut-wrenching crises… The power of finance is everywhere we look and it affects all of our lives” Niall Ferguson, The Ascent of Money.

Dec. 24 (UPI) City council members in Murdock, Minn., population 273, have approved a permit allowing a Whites-only group to use an abandoned Lutheran church as a regional site to gather.
The 3-1 vote on Dec. 9 to approve a request by the Asatru Folk Assembly for a conditional use permit had nothing to do with beliefs or race, according to a statement by Murdock Mayor Craig Kavanagh. He said the council felt legally bound to approve the permit after being advised by multiple legal sources that denying the request could be a violation of the AFA s religious rights.
