John Avery Emison, Martin Luther King Congressional Cover-Up, The: The Railroading of James Earl Ray. Gretna, LA: Pelican Publishing Company, Inc., 2014. The assassination of Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968, has its various storylines that continue to this day. The recently disclosed 1964 FBI letter to King manifests the establishment’s disdain for King and its attempt to relegate him to a minor role, or none at all, in the civil rights and antiwar movements of the mid-1960s. The enigmatic role King played and plays in American political lore is dwarfed by the convincing thesis of Emison’s book. The … Continue reading →

The best thing about doing climate science the way I do it is that I can study anything I want, and there is always so much more to learn … in the present instance, there’s another year of Argo data, so I thought I’d take another stroll through the world of Argo. The Argo floats sleep a kilometer down, and then every ten days they dive down another kilometer and slowly rise to the surface, measuring temperature and salinity as they go. Then they drop back down a kilometer, and go back to sleep. So start with, here a movie I … Continue reading →

One of the reasons I criticize academics has been my experience in their suppression of knowledge. I use to fund important archaeological excavations that could further our knowledge of history. The First Gulf War bombing uncovered a ancient city nobody had known about in the desert of Iraq. Ancient cities contained libraries where everything was stored including court cases and disputes. Over the years, I was a known collector of ancient economic texts. Thousands of these clay tablets appeared on the black market. I was naturally contacted. I bid on the find. I then learned that my only competitor was Martin … Continue reading →

Getting off quick, successive shots on target with a pistol is all about recoil management.  Here are five things that will help all shooters conquer their weapon’s kick and allow for super fast and accurate handgun shooting. 1.  Thumbs forward grip I find the two-handed, thumbs forward grip is by far the best when it comes to making multiple, fast shots.  Having a quality, strong support hand grip in the correct thumbs forward position gives the shooter the proper amount of recoil control. Showing off the support hand for the thumbs forward grip. These four fingers lay across the strong … Continue reading →

Soon after gloating to the Business Insider about how he was proven right last week when he warned in his 2013 book “Street Smarts” that the Swiss National Bank move would end in a crisis, Jim Rogers spoke with Investment Weekly discussing how “terribly flawed” the United States dollar is. Rogers, who has been a longtime critic of the greenback, explained that he owns more U.S. dollars than any other currency because when a crisis happens investors return to the dollar for protection. Although the bestselling author of “Hot Commodities” does concede that the dollar is in for a crisis because of the national debt, Rogers expects global currency volatility … Continue reading →

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure or told you’re at risk of developing the same, you’ve likely been advised to limit your sodium intake. But new research shows that sugar – particularly the kind found in processed foods – is more closely linked to high blood pressure than salt. How much sugar are you eating? A recent study by New Zealand’s University of Otago, and published in the medical journal Open Heart, revealed that consuming high amounts of sugar increases your chances of getting high blood pressure. Through a number of randomized, controlled trials, researchers looked at sugar’s … Continue reading →

A new online test which assesses the chance of developing Alzheimer’s should be taken by everyone over the age of 50, according to experts. The 20-minute cognitive function test, launched online today, asks simple questions about lifestyle and diet and can calculate a person’s risk of being diagnosed with the brain condition. Featuring a total of 37 questions, as well as additional interactive memory tests, experts believe the online assessment will help encourage people to change risk factors in their lifestyle and provide vital information about the disease. Designed for those aged 50 to 70, it has been developed by … Continue reading →

The Prince of Wales has spent the past three decades persuading us he is not an eccentric, out of touch, talking-to-the-plants heir to the throne. And a pretty decent job he’s done of it too. But all that fine work – all those youth unemployment initiatives and frugal patching of his suits – could soon be undone. By a monocle. If reports are to be believed, Prince Charles is not keen on being seen in public wearing reading glasses. So he thought he would experiment with wearing a monocle, which he unveiled to friends at Sandringham. Unsurprisingly, it did not go … Continue reading →

Now more than six months after the shoot-down of a Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine, the refusal of the Obama administration to make public what intelligence evidence it has about who was responsible has created fertile ground for conspiracy theories to take root while reducing hopes for holding the guilty parties accountable. Given the U.S. government’s surveillance capabilities — from satellite and aerial photographs to telephonic and electronic intercepts to human sources — American intelligence surely has a good idea what happened on July 17, 2014, when Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed in eastern Ukraine killing all 298 people on-board. … Continue reading →

Chris Kyle, author of the runaway best-seller American Sniper, was a military hero who killed 160 people during his four tours of duty in Iraq and is now the subject of an Oscar-nominated blockbuster. He was also a fabulist. Before his tragic murder in 2013, Kyle told a number of extremely dubious stories. In one tale, Kyle claimed he killed two carjackers at a gas station southwest of Dallas, and that his driver’s license directed local police officers who questioned him to contact the Department of Defense. Kyle also claimed he traveled to post-Katrina New Orleans with a sniper friend, … Continue reading →

Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian state energy giant Gazprom to cut natural gas supplies to and through Ukraine to the EU in a little reported move. It took place late on Wednesday and was overshadowed by the Swiss National Bank market turmoil yesterday. Russia has shut off gas supplies through Ukraine to six EU states, ostensibly due to Ukraine’s alleged illegal siphoning gas from the pipeline. The European Union warned that the sudden cut-off to some of its member countries was ‘completely unacceptable’. The move comes just as winter begins to bite across Europe. The pipeline crossing Ukraine supplies … Continue reading →

Manmade climate disaster proponents know the Saul Alinksy community agitator playbook by heart. In a fight, almost anything goes. Never admit error; just change your terminology and attack again. Expand your base, by giving potential allies financial and political reasons to join your cause. Pick “enemy” targets, freeze them, personalize them, polarize them and vilify them. The “crisis” was global cooling, until Earth stopped cooling around 1976. It was global warming, until our planet stopped warming around 1995. The alarmist mantra then became “climate change” or “climate disruption” or “extreme weather.” Always manmade. Since Earth’s climate often fluctuates, and there … Continue reading →

The story about the parents of a five-year-old being sent a ‘no show’ invoice for £15.95 for failing to honour their word about their son’s attendance at his friend’s ‘slide and ride’ birthday party at a ski centre in Plymouth has hit the headlines. The bill senders (the birthday boy’s parents) are getting some flack for issuing the invoice in the first place – I agree, a tad weird and certainly not the correct thing – but I do applaud their courage. Especially given the Nash family had replied officially confirming their son Alex’s attendance but decided to go with, what … Continue reading →

Congratulations to the doughty Swiss, we say. The decision of their central bank to remove the cap on its currency, allowing it to soar against the Euro, is causing the foreign exchnge markets to be struck with the dreaded turbulence. It may well make things difficult for Switzerland in the short run. But it was a vote of no confidence in the quantitative easing that the European Central Bank is about to undertake. It may have put some starch into the Germans, to whom the ECB just bowed by saying it will do its quantitative easing without making taxpayers responsible … Continue reading →
