The Cold War was a period of great tension, and with all the posturing, stockpiling, and military maneuvering by the US and the Soviet Union, there came a rich history of obscure stories and eyebrow-raising tales. While the standoff between the superpowers was very much conventional, some of their top secret projects and undercover missions were incredibly bizarre. 10 The Military Liaison Missions After the end of World War II and the division of Germany into four occupation zones, the Western Allies and the Soviets signed a series of agreements, allowing a small number of military personnel from each side … Continue reading →

The time at which most workers ‘hit the wall’ has now been pinpointed – to 2.22pm exactly. A survey of 2,000 workers has been able to specify exactly when the post-lunch slump kicks in, triggering a lull in concentration and a lack of productivity. The study found that a lot of workers find themselves in this position up to three times a week. The most common reasons for the mid-day slump is attributed to a warm working environment, not enough sleep and the sheer volume of workloads. Dehydration and eating too much at lunchtime were also found to contribute to … Continue reading →

Project MKUltra, sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program, was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to identify/develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. If you’re a fan of Stranger Things, MK Ultra may sound familiar (see: Hidden Programming Within Stranger Things), and the truth is just as strange as fiction. According to Wikipedia: Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, … Continue reading →

A DNC staffer shot dead in an affluent suburb of Washington D.C. last month may have leaked 20,000 party emails to Wikileaks, Julian Assange has hinted. Seth Conrad Rich, 27, was gunned down in the street in the early hours of July 10 while on the phone to his girlfriend. In an interview with Dutch television on Tuesday, Assange said that ‘our whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks’. In the same breath, he cited Rich’s murder ‘on the streets of Washington just a few weeks ago’. On the same day, Wikileaks offered … Continue reading →

Current Prices on popular forms of Silver Bullion Highlights Jim Rogers rejoins the show from his Singapore office – he’s waiting patiently for discount opportunities in the precious metals sector. While the top US shares continue to tread water, twice as many lesser known stocks have declined over the same period. The recent Brexit may have signaled an end to the hegemony of the EU; Italy, Spain, and Portugal could be the next to leave the confederacy. Jim Rogers advocates adding agriculture based investments to every portfolio, underscoring the importance of listening to alternative talk shows. Read the Whole Article

NEW YORK—There’s some guy at the world headquarters of CVS drugstores screwing with me. I don’t know who he is yet, but he lives in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. This is where CVS Health, the largest drugstore chainin the history of drugstores, has its main offices, and where a designated marketing jerk chews on the nub of a pencil and thinks all day about how many coupons he can string onto the bottom of my sales receipt. I was thinking about this recently while having three hot dogs and a Dr. Pepper during the time it took to print out my … Continue reading →

Our youngest son Dan, born in 1987, claims socialism is good. Like many other people in his Millennial Generation born 1982-2004, despite growing up in a home with libertarian parents, he backed Bernie Sanders and thinks socialism works. A case in point, he argues: “Look at Sweden. It works there!” My wife and I have tried to dispel this notion and other collectivist views he holds since he attended and graduated from college, without effect. When I learned that Tom DiLorenzo had written a new book titled THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIALISM, for release on July 18, 2016, I pre-ordered a … Continue reading →

Is Macbeth really Shakespeare’s most cursed play? (Even more cursed than All’s Well That Ends Well?) Perhaps. Terrible occurrences have dogged performances of Macbeth ever since its premiere, when,according to theatrical legend, either an actor was killed onstage during a sword fight, or else a young boy playing Lady Macbeth died in an accident behind the scenes. (The cause of the curse, some say, is that Shakespeare supposedly included real witches’ spells in the play’s script.) But perhaps the darkest incident in the play’s long and murky history occurred on May 10, 1849, when a bitter rivalry between two competing … Continue reading →

Tiny homes have become a social movement we can’t ignore. People all over the world are choosing to downsize the space they live in for a happier life. In the U.S., for instance, the typical American home is around 2,600 square feet, but the typical tiny home is only between 100 and 400 square feet. They come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but they all have one thing in common: they allow simpler living in a smaller, more efficient environment. People have joined this movement for many reasons, whether it be concerns over the environment or their own finances … Continue reading →

NEW YORK—All over America IKEA futons are groaning with the restless insomnia of journalists—tossing, turning, cursing the impotence of their melatonin capsules—burdened with the future of the Republic. Long nights of torment, and then . . . Morning resolve! Before they’ve even microwaved their second Jimmy Dean Sausage Sandwich, they know that this will be the day of reckoning. They will fire up the Kia Sedona and take the long way to work, giving them more time to think about the epic 1,500 words that will make the difference between chaos and civilization. Yes, they tell their wives, its time … Continue reading →

We’re going to cover some of the finer points on the art of Negotiation in this article.  Negotiation does not necessarily mean between yourself and an enemy.  Negotiation is a very valuable skill that is crucial to develop and employ in the various situations you will encounter, both pre and post-SHTF.  You can use it and develop it on a daily basis until it becomes natural. When you are doing things within your family you negotiate: how to get the kids to do their chores, what responsibilities you will split with your spouse on numerous domestic issues, and what you … Continue reading →

Eddie ‘The Beast’ Hall is a strong man. One of the strongest, in fact, and he proved that so by becoming the first man to ever deadlift 500kg under the official rules of ‘strongman’. Later this year the 28-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent will attempt to out-muscle them all by adding the World’s Strongest Man title to a career CV already littered with accolades – including fourth place at last year’s tournament and three consecutive British titles. But what exactly is life like for the men who could be crowned the planet’s strongest? From eating a kilo for lunch to not fitting in plane seats, Hall … Continue reading →

It all starts with a Wahhabi-Zionist lovefest. The Saudi Foreign Ministry was forced to go on a non-denial denial overdrive about a visit to Israel on July 22 by a delegation led by retired Gen. Anwar Eshki. Eshki happens to be close to Saudi intel superstar and one-time close Osama bin Laden pal Prince Turki bin Faisal, who recently met in the open with former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) generals Yaakov Amidror and Amos Yadlin. While in Israel, Eshki met with Foreign Ministry Director-General Dore Gold, and Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the top IDF honcho in the West Bank. There’s absolutely no way the House of Saud would not have given a green light for such … Continue reading →

Following recent assertions by some investigators that the pilot of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 intentionally crashed his plane into the Indian Ocean, the act of suicide-by-pilot has come underneath the microscope once again. Although not a frequent occurrence, there is a history of suicide-by-pilot that makes for disturbing reading. 10 Germanwings Flight 9525 Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed into the French Alps on March 24, 2015. Investigators quickly determined that the plane, which was scheduled to fly from Barcelona to Dusseldorf, was intentionally flown into a mountain range by copilot Andreas Lubitz. In total, 150 people died in the crash. Shortly … Continue reading →
