During the last 18 months or so I’ve heard a lot of talk about chess. This guy or that guy is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers or some mastermind is playing 3-dimensional chess, etc. I find it odd that these statements are made given that only a tiny percentage of Americans know how to play chess with that number sitting around 5% or slightly over 14 million people. This is too bad because if the population, as a whole, had a better understanding of chess than the actions of President Trump would make perfect sense. History: The … Continue reading

One concern of retail precious metals investors is the possibility of a gold confiscation. Imagine having the forethought to buy gold to shield your finances from an economic or monetary crisis—only to have it taken away from you by your government. You’d lose not just the protective buffer you put in place but potentially a chunk of your net worth. Gold confiscation may sound preposterous to investors used to securities or real estate. But it’s happened in the past enough times to make it a reasonable concern for those uneasy about unsolvable debt levels, runaway government spending, and continual central … Continue reading

Many people know about colloidal silver and its proven germicidal and antibacterial properties. Colloidal gold, on the other hand, is not quite as well-known. This is unfortunate, since this clear, tasteless colloid – which is made from tiny gold particles suspended in water – provides us with similarly impressive health benefits. Whereas colloidal silver cleanses our bodies of microbes and bacteria, however, colloidal gold has a different purpose: it improves our mental faculties and rejuvenates our bodies. List of Health Benefits Improves cognitive function – According to a study by Dr. Joel Dill and Souhaila McReynolds for the Journal of … Continue reading

Like every other normal person in American, I watched the big game on Sunday. This year I was busy with some projects so I did not attend a party. Instead, I planned to get some work done and then settle in at game time. Some people boycott the Super Bowl, believing it makes them virtuous, but those people are idiots. The game is often fun and the ridiculous hype around it is a nice weird American tradition. Plus, having a pseudo-holiday the next day means people can have a party on Sunday in the dead of winter. The thing about … Continue reading

They hate you. Leftists don’t merely disagree with you. They don’t merely feel you are misguided. They don’t think you are merely wrong. They hate you. They want you enslaved and obedient, if not dead. Once you get that, everything that is happening now will make sense. And you will understand what you need to be ready to do. You are normal, and therefore a heretic. You refuse to bow to their idols, to subscribe to their twisted catechisms, to praise their false gods. This is unforgivable. You must burn. Crazy talk? Just ask them. Go ahead. Go on social … Continue reading

Retreat from globalization will only result in trouble, warned China’s second richest man Jack Ma during a visit to Australia. “Everybody is concerned about trade wars. If trade stops, war starts,” he said in Melbourne, where the e-commerce giant Alibaba opened its Australia and New Zealand headquarters. “But worry doesn’t solve the problem. The only thing you can do is get involved and actively prove that trade helps people to communicate,” said Alibaba’s CEO, as quoted by Business Insider Australia. The globalized economy is more than just transactions of money and goods, according to Ma. “We have to actively prove … Continue reading

As the use of technology becomes increasingly commonplace, more and more people – of all ages – are suffering from myopia, or nearsightedness. Research has shown that myopia diagnoses have increased 66 percent since the 1970s. Nearsightedness develops when the eyeball becomes larger than the normal size. As a result, the angle at which the light enters the eye changes, leading to abnormal focus on the objects that are far away. But staring at a computer screen all the time is not the only culprit of the growing myopia rates. Researchers suggest that insufficient sunlight exposure is also a contributing … Continue reading

Can you afford an emergency? Not a “must see Beyoncé live” crisis, but a 911 situation requiring cold hard cash to the tune of $1,000. Think dental surgery or bailing a relative out of jail. If you’re like two-thirds of Americans who don’t have a spare grand, start saving now–like your life depends on it. How robust should your emergency fund be? It depends. If you own a home or a car, you’ll need more for inevitable repairs. Regardless of your assets, experts suggest saving the equivalent of several months salary, should you get laid off. This calculator tells you what your threshold of … Continue reading

The major takeaway from the US Presidential election, and from the events which have shaped the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s Presidency – both his actions and the reactions of his opponents – is that America is tired. It is not difficult to see why since the US has for decades been behaving in a way that was guaranteed eventually to exhaust it. The US government has been focused to an extraordinary degree on foreign policy since the Second World War. This is far from normal for any country, and is the factor which more than any other has shaped the present structure of the US economy and of US society, as the … Continue reading

The godfather of Britain’s “Brexit” from the European Union who presaged the the coming of the Trumpinator, Nigel Farage, has, on his way out, unleashed a barrage of condemnation on the smug, spineless sycophants who comprise the army of Eurocrats running the EU. Farage slammed the EU parliament as a spineless rubber-stamp body, and weighed into the European Commission as an unelected Politburo that has nothing to do with democracy. Current Prices on popular forms of Silver Bullion No wonder, said Mr. Farage, that these careerist bureaucrats are intimidated and outraged by Donald Trump – a man who in merely … Continue reading

The traditional way in the West of teaching history is to start with the three phases of history. There is the beginning, the middle and the end. This is based on two assumptions that are unique to the West. One is that history is a process where the past casts a shadow over the present to shape the future. History is a long chain of causation. The other assumption is history works toward some end, as if it is by design. The idea of “progress” rests on this assumption. The world is progressing toward some end point. For the student … Continue reading

Steve Bannon became obsessed with a dark theory of history predicting the rebirth of America’s institutions every 80 years – and became convinced the US was on the brink of a bigger conflict than the Second World War, a report said Thursday. Donald Trump‘s chief strategist became fascinated in the early 2000s by The Fourth Turning, a 1997 book in which William Strauss and Neil Howe explain their theory of American history, Time wrote in a profile of Bannon. The former Goldman Sachs investment banker and Breitbart executive chairman appears on the cover of this week’s magazine, on which he is … Continue reading

I have listened to Dr. Wilson enough times, I could hear his voice as I read this work. He is one of my heroes as he teaches on American History, not what is taught in the established educational (?) spouts normally called “Schools, Colleges, Universities …” is today, you will gain much understanding from this book. And, you will not get these truths from most other sources since it offers a lot of facts, logical thought, and all with refreshing non PC garbage, as only Clyde Wilson can.
