It is difficult to point to a recent picture of South Korean President Moon Jae-in in which he is not beaming. This should not be surprising. Be it hosting an A-list North Korean delegation to the Winter Games, successfully navigating perilous diplomatic waters between China, Japan and the US, or benefitting from a domestic opposition that is in utter disarray, the sun is shining upon Moon. The liberal politician, a former special forces soldier, ex-human rights lawyer and key aide to the late liberal president Roh Moo-hyun, assumed office after his second presidential bid in May 2017, when he won … Continue reading

Before the Olympics US vice president Mike Pence specifically said his mission in traveling there was to prevent North Korean peace overtures. Instead all he has succeeded in showing was how petty, tone-deaf and bellicose the Empire is. The North Koreans for the first time ever sent a member of the Kim family for a visit, and invited the South Korean prime minister for a summit in Pyongyang. Koreans, north and south, moreover used the opportunity for a historic handshake, and to march under a united flag. Mike Pence instead refused to stand up when the united Korean team entered the stadium — along his wife the only person … Continue reading

In one of the world’s northernmost inhabited areas, permafrost prevents the dead from decomposing. To prevent disease from spreading, authorities have had to ban people from dying in the town. But this strange settlement, known as Longyearbyen, could prove useful to scientists. Its graveyard contains the remains of a number of victims of the deadly Spanish Flu that killed as many as 100 million people worldwide in 1918. Samples of the Spanish Flu virus have been extracted from some of the bodies so researchers can study the disease in an attempt to prevent a similar outbreak. Longyearbyen is a coal-mining town in the … Continue reading

BY JAMES LYONS-WEILER VIA THE WORLD MERCURY PROJECT  Crohn’s. Lupus. Autism. ADHD. Food allergies. Celiac disease. Sjögren’s syndrome. Polymyalgia rheumatica. Multiple sclerosis. Anklyosing spondylitis. Type 1 diabetes. Vasculitis. Peripheral neuropathy. The list goes on, and on, and on. We are being increasingly diagnosed with these conditions and diseases of unknown origin, and science has very little to say – why would autoimmune diseases and mysterious diseases of inflammation be so prevalent? When did this increase start? As an observer and participant in modern biomedical research, and a lover of deep history, I tend to focus not on the immediate or last … Continue reading

President Donald Trump’s plan to stage a mega military parade in the American capital provoked a broad swath of opposition, from conservatives and liberals alike. Part of the objection, however, seems to stem from an unspoken embarrassment – that such a military display shatters American democratic pretensions, at home and around the world. Surprisingly for a nation that repeatedly boasts about having the most powerful military force on the planet – and, indeed, ever in the whole of recorded history – there was scant enthusiasm this week for Trump’s reported proposal for a full-scale military parade to be held later this year … Continue reading

Growing up as I did in coastal New England, this old rhyme was drilled into us as children: Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; Red sky at morning, sailor take warning. Because many of the people in town still made their living on the sea, the safety of person and property depended on being able to recognize the signs of approaching danger. A notably red sky at morning is usually due to sunrise reflection off of moisture-bearing clouds, signifying an arriving a storm system bringing rain, wind and rough seas. Those who ignored a red sky warning often did so at … Continue reading

Just imagine that somebody told you that men and women are biologically different, that people ought to take responsibility for their own lives, and modern life often seems hollow and meaningless. Imagine that this person went on to say that young men often lack a sense of initiative, too many university courses have fallen victim to trendy dogmas, and free speech sometimes means telling people what they don’t want to hear. Would you shudder in horror? Would you rush onto social media to condemn him as a dangerous lunatic? Or would you, perhaps, nod in agreement at what seemed like … Continue reading

Contradictory Palaver The recent hullabaloo among President Trump’s top monetary officials about the Administration’s “dollar policy” is just the start of what will likely be the first of many contradictory pronouncements and reversals which will take place in the coming months and years as the world’s reserve currency continues to be compromised.  So far, the Greenback has had its worst start since 1987, the year of a major stock market reset. A modern-day reenactment of the famous “our currency, your problem” play that went over so extremely well in the 1970s… [PT] The brief firestorm was set off by Treasury … Continue reading

This week’s dramatic stock market sell-off has raised concerns of an impending bear market, which, according to legendary investor Jim Rogers, will be more catastrophic than any other market downturn that he has lived through. “When we have a bear market again, and we are going to have a bear market again, it will be the worst in our lifetime,” Rogers told Bloomberg. According to the veteran investor, that will happen because even more debt has accumulated in the global economy since the financial crisis, especially in the US. “Debt is everywhere, and it’s much, much higher now,” he said, adding that … Continue reading

Review by Charles H. Rosa: If you want to finally understand how the current banking system (based on the concept of the fractional reserve system – i.e., legalized counterfeiting) works, this is the book for you. Great explanation of the mechanics. Also, the book clearly demonstrates that we need to clearly delineate between loan banking (i.e., savings/investment) and deposit banking (i.e., money warehousing), and get deposit banking back to a 100% fractional reserve basis if we are ever to get out of the repeating boom-bust business cycle in which we constantly find ourselves (the world over). I would recommend this … Continue reading

With text messages between US Justice Department (DOJ) conspirators Peter Strzok and his adulterous main squeeze Lisa Page now revealing that then-President Barack Obama “wants to know everything we’re doing,” it now appears that the 2016 plot to subvert the rule of law and corrupt the US organs of state security for political purposes reached the very pinnacle of power. To call the United States today a “banana republic” increasingly may be seen as a gratuitous insult to the friendly spider-infested nations to our south. Still, don’t expect to see Barry Hussein Saetoro doing the perp walk anytime soon or even being deported back to … Continue reading

As of this week, the shale oil miracle launched US oil production above the 1970 previous-all-time record at just over ten million barrels a day. Techno-rapturists are celebrating what seems to be a blindingly bright new golden age of energy greatness. Independent oil analyst Art Berman, who made the podcast rounds the last two weeks, put it in more reality-accessible terms: “Shale is a retirement party for the oil industry.” It was an impressive stunt and it had everything to do with the reality-optional world of bizarro finance that emerged from the wreckage of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. In … Continue reading

ReadyNutrition Readers, you are all well-aware of charity…where your left hand should not know what your right does.  In survival, it is the opposite: you need to train yourself bilaterally…that is, to be ambidextrous to a certain degree.  In the manner that you lift weights and exercise, should you train in survival skills. When you do bicep curls, do you perform them with only your dominant hand?  No, of course not.  You train with both hands and both arms and develop yourself symmetrically and equally. How about things that require you to perform to survive?  Firing a rifle or pistol, for one.  … Continue reading
