Sexual problems, snoring, and bleeding gums are typically thought to be minor health problems. And so, most people who experience the issues tend to just ignore them. However, these seemingly insignificant problems are actually some common symptoms of heart disease – the number one killer in the world. When the heart and arteries begin to fail, symptoms manifest in otherwise unrelated parts in the body, revealed Dr John Erwin, a cardiologist from Texas A&M Health Science Center. Dr Erwin revealed six of the most common – and most surprising – symptoms of heart disease that people need to be aware … Continue reading →

Jim Grant appeared on CNBC’s Closing Bell and unhesitatingly said he thinks the US economy has already gone into recession: I think we are in one…I think there’s a defensible case to be made that a recession began late last year.” Grant echoed what Peter Schiff has been saying. In his Gold Videocast last week, Peter also said he thinks the recession started last year: I believe eventually the government will acknowledge that this greater recession began in the fourth quarter of 2015, the very quarter that the Fed chose to raise interest rates.” The Daily Bell hosts didn’t seem … Continue reading →

One of the biggest viral stories on social media last week was a laughably idiotic Finnish “how to” video that ostensibly demonstrates the proper way for women to defend themselves against rapists. The video, produced by state-run broadcaster Yle, reveals the top three police-certified methods that women should use against an attacker: “No,” “Push,” and “Handbag.” In the video, a young blond woman, trudging her way down a snowy street, is accosted by a white ne’er-do-well (needless to say, the Finnish media would never dare portray the attacker as a nonwhite immigrant or “refugee”). Upon being grabbed by the unwelcome … Continue reading →

1. September 11, 2001 – Thanks to the power of the web and live broadcasts on television, the conspiracy theories surrounding the events of 9/11 – when terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington – have surpassed those of Roswell and JFK in traction. Despite repeated claims by al-Qaeda that it planned, organised and orchestrated the attacks, several official and unofficial investigations into the collapse of the Twin Towers which concluded that structural failure was responsible and footage of the events themselves, the conspiracy theories continue to grow in strength. At the milder … Continue reading →

The government is already spying on us through spying on us through our computers, phones, cars, buses, streetlights, at airports and on the street, via mobile scanners and drones, through our credit cards and smart meters (update), television, doll, and in many other ways. Spying in the U.S. is worse than under Nazi Germany, the Stasi, J. Edgar Hoover … or Orwell’s 1984. Yesterday, U.S. Intelligence Boss James Clapper said that the government will spy on Americans through the internet of things (“IoT”): In the future, intelligence services might use the [IoT] for identification, surveillance, monitoring, location tracking, and targeting … Continue reading →

In recent weeks, I kept meaning to write up a stylized history of the evolution of political ideology over recent centuries. But my examples—why Andrew Jackson rather than Alexander Hamilton will get booted off the currency, how Spike Lee learned painfully to start denouncing Hollywood for being run by whites and stop denouncing it for being run by Jews, and why democracy in Poland is undemocratic—grew into entire columns. So now it’s time to get past the illustrations to the big picture. Here’s a simple outline of four eras, each when a different political ideology seemed inarguable: (1) hereditary right … Continue reading →

The critic of anything—food, wine, art, film, music—must develop ways to describe an experience that go beyond the usual vocabulary lists. Good, bad, beautiful, ugly and a few hundred other words related to the way things look, sound, and taste, and smell might be sufficient for ordinary description, but the professional opinion-giver has to keep things vivid and fresh. To do this, they might come up with new or unusual words, or uncommon metaphors, but sometimes what’s called for is a new syntactic structure. At least that seems to be the idea behind a linguistic trend making its noticeable way … Continue reading →

The US Central Intelligence Agency has, according to multiple investigative reports from both mainstream media outlets and human rights organizations, operated numerous “black sites” across the world. These locations, according to the reports, are secret prisons used to house “ghost prisoners.” Those sent to these places are held captive without being charged with any crime and are not allowed any form of legal defense. Ghost prisoners are subject to what the CIA calls “enhanced interrogation tactics”; most others call it torture. The CIA and their operatives’ methods allegedly include waterboarding, sleep deprivation, humiliation, physical beatings, electric shocks, and worse. These … Continue reading →

It’s Extra-terrestrial Culture Day, haven’t you heard? The event takes place annually on the second Tuesday in February and was created to “celebrate and honour all past, present and future alien visitors”. It began in 2003 when Daniel Foley, a Republican from Roswell, saw his proposal approved in the House of Representatives. It said aliens have contributed to the recognition of New Mexico, with the state associated with little green men since the purported UFO crash in 1947. We take a look back at the infamous Roswell incident. What happened On July 8 1947, an object crashed near a rancher’s … Continue reading →

A staggering 25 per cent of wrongful convictions in the US are said to have been made using false confessions. Law enforcement officers have been known to deprive suspects of sleep while they carry out their investigations, and now a study has found a link between tiredness and fake statements. Researchers have found that people are more likely to own up to something they haven’t done if they’re lacking in sleep, than those who are fully rested. The study was carried out by Elizabeth Loftus and her team at the University of California, Irvine. They examined whether the likelihood of a … Continue reading →

How many people have you spoken with today? Chances are that most of them lied to you—and that they did it more than once. It’s a hard fact to accept, but even your closest friends and coworkers lie to you regularly. University of Massachusetts psychologist Robert Feldman has studied lying for more than a decade, and his research has reached some startling conclusions. Most shocking is that 60% of people lie during a typical 10-minute conversation and that they average two to three lies during that short timeframe. Most of the people in Feldman’s studies don’t even realize all of … Continue reading →

The world of secrecy is truly out of control. Most people don’t think about the fact that millions of pages of documents every year are classified and kept from public viewing, and that’s just in the United States alone. If a historian wanted to study the history of their country, how could they properly do it when a majority of their history remains ‘classified?’ It was only only three years ago (2013) when the Central Intelligence Agency finally admitted to the existence of Area 51. Although it didn’t ‘officially’ exist before the CIA made this admission, it was pretty clear … Continue reading →

With so much of our lives now conducted online, it is hardly surprising people struggle to remember long lists of complex passwords to keep their personal details secure. But it seems many of us are not learning the lessons of recent online security breaches, choosing instead to use some of the most common – and easily guessable – codes around. An annual list of the 25 most common passwords on the internet show that people are still putting their faith in ‘password1; and ‘123456’ to keep their online accounts safe. The findings will no doubt cause online security experts to … Continue reading →
