Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated on June 28, 1914. THIRTY DAYS later, on July 28, 1914, World War I, the “Great War” began. It would last for more than 4 years, and some 16 million would die.

 

On January 2, Saudi Arabia executed a noted Shiite cleric, and presumed terrorist, Sheik Nimr al-Nimr. Thirty days hence, February 1st, are the Iowa caucuses.

 

A century ago, when the dissemination of news was very, very slow by modern standards; it only took one month for the world to go mad.

 

Today, only a few days after the execution, we are already witnessing the first convulsions that will likely inflame the entire middle east.

On the other hand, we have a theocracy with a lot of oil.

 

I'll bring the popcorn.

On another hand we can see gas prices very very very very high.
