More than 2,000 documents and sketches have been released by the Munich authorities dating from the days of Nazism which detail Adolf Hitler’s plans to build a colossal new metropolis on the site of the city. Munich always held a special place in Hitler’s dark heart. It was where he joined the Germany army to fight in World War One and where he founded the Nazi Party after it ended. Hitler proposed a City Of The Movement with gargantuan buildings and roads destined to last 1,000 years. The newly released documents show that he expected the major construction projects to … Continue reading →

Marc Faber, aka Dr. Doom, believes the worst of the oil price dive is over with only a $10 dollar dip at most likely to come to pass. Faber, who is editor and publisher of ‘The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’, made the comments in response to the meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC members on April 17. This saw oil producing nations negotiate on stemming further price drops. However, a failure to agree on a freeze led the oil price to drop 7% to around $42-per-barrel. Ahead of the meeting Iran had said that it would not participate as it … Continue reading →

Want to put the spring back into your step and get set to sizzle in summer? Then now’s the time to take stock of your diet and make sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need for maximum health and vitality. In an earlier era, when our diet was dictated by the seasons, spring brought an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables after the long and gloomy winter, and an opportunity to replenish reserves of important nutrients. Back then, there was a clear link between nutritional status and the availability of fresh foods. But even now, when food miles mean … Continue reading →

The language of scams and flim-flams is colorful. No one likes to get bamboozled, but the words for getting duped are creative and vivid. This creativity extends to out-of-fashion words for dastardly swindles. Make sure to use one of the following the next time you get hornswoggled. 1. CANOODLE This day, when we hear about canoodling, it’s usually two celebrities playing tonsil hockey or enjoying a wholesome hug. But this word has a more disreputable history. Canoodling has always had a sense of two people getting close, but originally one was trying to rip the other off. An Oxford English Dictionary … Continue reading →

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Gov. John Kasich are apparently working in concert to keep the Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, away from the GOP nomination. This game of ‘keep away’, or as I knew it growing up – ‘Piggy In the Middle‘ – is going on all around the Western world at the moment as populations fall out of love with their ruling classes. Cruz and Kasich are apparently planning to undertake this strategy across Oregon, New Mexico, and Indiana – with Kasich being allowed by the Cruz campaign to focus on the first two while Kasich will move out of the … Continue reading →

Under London’s streets lies a hidden gold mine. It stretches across more than 300,000 square feet under the City, the finance quarter in the heart of Britain’s capital. There, beneath the pavement and commuters of Threadneedle Street, lies a maze of eight Bank of England gold vaults – each stacked with gold bars worth a total sum of around £141 billion ($200 billion). The bars sit on rows of blue numbered shelves. Every bar weighs precisely 400 troy ounces (about 12kg), making each currently worth some £350,000 ($500,000), comfortably more than the average price of a house in the UK. … Continue reading →

“I was seeking for a fool when I found you.” Or so says Jacques in Act 3 of As You Like It. The great William Shakespeare died 400 years ago this week, so in honour of his quadricentennial, here are ten of the Bard’s best barbs. 1. “Scurvy politician” King Lear, Act 4, scene 6 “Get thee glass eyes, and like a scurvy politician seem to see the things thou dost.” Shakespeare’s scurvy means “contemptible” or “despicable” while he used a politician to mean a crooked plotter or schemer who, in this quote from King Lear, only chooses to see what … Continue reading →

Ray Bradbury once said, “I wasn’t trying to predict the future. I was trying to prevent it.” Really, that’s the whole point of science fiction. The genre has never been about predicting new technologies. Instead, its purpose is to warn us about the dark future to come, if we don’t change our path. Occasionally, we listen and learn, and then society improves. But other times, we don’t. And while the present day seems quite ordinary to us, the reality is that our modern era was once a horrible, terrifying nightmare that sci-fi writers desperately tried to stop. 10 ‘Number 12 … Continue reading →

There is nothing as beautiful as a shiny white smile. Yet many of us fail to give our teeth the attention they deserve – or are unwittingly brushing our them in the wrong way. Failing to do this properly can lead to a build-up of plaque – which causes tooth decay and can lead to gum disease. And gum disease – known as gingivitis to dentists – has been linked with other health issues including heart problems, kidney disease, diabetes and even certain types of cancer. Just yesterday, scientists revealed a link between harmful bacteria in the mouth and pancreatic … Continue reading →

Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases its “Dirty Dozen” list of the fruits and vegetables that rank highest in pesticide residues. This year, strawberries top the list. For the first time, strawberries outrank apples, which previously headed the list for 5 years running. For the report, the EWG analyzed test results of more than 35,200 samples of fruits and vegetables taken by the USDA and the FDA. Nearly all of the non-organic strawberry samples – at least 98% – contained detectable levels of pesticides, with 47% having residues of 10 or more pesticides. Some of the strawberries were … Continue reading →

SCHIFF TAUNTS GOLDMAN Peter Schiff on CNBC Friday discussing his near-term outlook for gold prices, and Goldman’s recent failed recommendation for investors to sell gold holdings. “They are still wedded to the old narrative. They still expect the Fed to raise rates three times this year. They will believe in this phony recovery. They still expect the dollar to continue to go up and they’re wrong. Goldman is just as sure that gold is going to collapse now as they were back in December.” Goldman’s commodities team has long been predicting that gold would fall below the $1,000 mark within … Continue reading →

Philadelphia-based feminist Camille Paglia won’t be voting for Hillary Clinton in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, even going as far as suggesting something shady is going on with the former secretary of state’s hacking cough. ‘My tentative theory is that Hillary may have sporadic flare-ups of goiter, worsened under stress. Coughing is a symptom,’ Paglia wrote in a column taking down the Clinton candidacy on Salon.com. Clinton has had a noticeable cough throughout the primary season explaining to a New York radio host this week that it was due to ‘allergy season.’ But Paglia didn’t buy it. ‘I’m just a Ph.D., … Continue reading →

While there actually is a human being named Rand McNally—he happens to be a management consultant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin—the most famous name in cartography wasn’t a solo venture. A printer by trade, William Rand moved to Chicago in 1855 after some time out West during the California Gold Rush. Establishing his own printing shingle in 1856, he quickly found a major client in the Chicago Daily Tribune, a precursor to the Chicago Tribune. The paper wanted him to manage the business they struck up when the presses weren’t rolling. It was at the Tribune where he met Andrew McNally, a … Continue reading →
