About The Rum Rebellion
Welcome to The Rum Rebellion! You’re probably wondering what the name is all about. Well, there is a very good reason for it. I’ll explain it all in a moment. First, I want to tell you what you can expect from your daily shot of rum, so to speak… The Rum Rebellion is a uniquely Australian voice commenting on the nexus between money, stocks, politics and economics.

We therefore seek to tell you about how the world IS, not how we wish it to be.

America is Doomed: People Are Greedy
