Libertarians and others who seek to be left alone to run their own lives habitually ask themselves the above question regarding their government. So, what’s the answer? Are they out to get you? Well, unfortunately, the answer isn’t a simple “yes” or “no.” In fact, it’s “yes” and “no.” The secret to understanding a government’s intentions is that there’s no unified overall objective, sentiment, or approach to dealing with the private sector. Quite the opposite. With any government, it couldn’t be more fragmented or dysfunctional. At the very lowest level of any government is the civil service, which is, in any country, a catch-all … Continue reading →

“Project MKUltra” was the name given to an illegal program of human experimentation conducted by the US Central Intelligence Agency, which investigated mind control. The 1975 Church Committee hearings exposed the operation – and on July 20, 1977 a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to it. The origins of MKUltra lie in 1945, and Operation Paperclip — the secret transfer of top Nazi scientists to the US. Armed with extensive documentation on unethical Nazi human experimentation, including research into mind control, a clutch of military programs related to mental manipulation and behavioral modification were launched — including Projects CHATTER, BLUEBIRD and ARTICHOKE. Headed by former chemist … Continue reading →

The European Union cockroaches were quick on condemning strong leaderships running after terrorists and drug trafficking, yet mum on the daylight police brutality of the Spanish government against the legitimate exercise of political power by the Catalans. Over the last few days, tens of thousands of Catalans have mobilized en-masse to take part in a referendum on the future of Catalonia. Whatever your opinion on the question of Catalonian independence, there can be no doubt the response from the Spanish government has been heavy-handed and excessive. The Spanish government claimed the referendum, which looks likely to return a resounding ‘yes’ … Continue reading →

Alexander the Great’s ‘lost city’ was a magical place where people drank wine and naked philosophers imparted wisdom, ancient accounts claim. Now, nearly 2,000 years after the great warrior’s death, archaeologists believe the city may have finally been discovered in Iraq. Experts first noticed ancient remains in the Iraqi settlement, known as Qalatga Darband, after looking at declassified American spy footage from the 1960s. The images were made public in 1996 but, due to political instability, archaeologists were unable to explore the site properly for years. Now, using more recent drone footage and on-site work, researchers have established there was a city during … Continue reading →

The United States has the highest rate per capita use of anti-depressant drugs and boasts the highest consumption of opiates in the world. However, according to the World Health Organisation, the United States is not the country with the highest rates of clinical depression, in spite of US doctors tending to over-diagnose mental disorders in comparison with the global average. Moreover, there is a clear linkage between criminals who engage in mass shooting attacks and their use of psychotropic anti-depressant drugs. This relationship has been ignored for too long. The mass shooting problem in the United States is a drug problem and many in … Continue reading →

While this side of the pond is marveling at the differences on the new Gen 5 Glock series, over in Germany something really different has surfaced. The German firearms industry trade journal DWJ last week announced the new Glock 46 which company CEO Stephan Dörler described as a supplement for German police forces who already use the Glock 17 and is undergoing tests at the Polizeitechnische Institut in Munster. Following up with the highlights in English with lots of photos, Recoil detailed the new gun has most of the same Gen 5 features (no finger grooves, ambi slide stop, beveled frame nose) but that … Continue reading →

“These are, after all, the same entities who insisted the North Koreans would not be able to launch a viable rocket for 3-5 years, … that insisted Saddam Hussein was in possession of WMD, … that there was no torture at Abu Ghraib prison, … and that the government had no bulk data collection program, until Edward Snowden revealed otherwise.” This has been a long time in coming. Few people are as well positioned as Roger Stone to maul the political witch-hunters running the House hearings and their ridiculous Russia-gate charade they continue to flog, (unsuccessfully) to the American people.

JOHANNESBURG – Step away from the crowd, look, see what no-one else is noticing – and that is where you can find what everyone is searching for. This is Jim Rogers’ key to success. He should know, he is a US dollar billionaire, one of the world’s foremost financial analysts and commentators and an author. Rogers is increasingly bullish about investing across Africa and emerging markets. Rogers, 74, has investments in many countries. One of his most recent is into a Hong Kong-listed coal mine in Indonesia. He was scoffed at, while the rest of the world is moving away … Continue reading →

Morgan Freeman is used to playing God, and in lesser roles, president of the United States. These days, however, Freeman has sold his image and aura to the worst warmongers on the planet. Morgan Freeman has signed on as a front man and propagandist for an all-out military confrontation with Russia, the only country that has the power to turn the United States into a burned out cinder. In a video that Freeman’s right-wing friends are circulating on social media, the actor declares that a new world war has already begun. “Russia is waging war on the U.S. ,” says the … Continue reading →

I remember the moment I got the HPV vaccine. I was a young, impressionable teenager, and my mother was concerned about me being sexually active and the potential risks of HPV and cervical cancer. Like any concerned mother, she turned to a doctor, who of course recommended the HPV vaccine, Gardasil. Now, this was years ago, so there wasn’t as much information available to the public regarding this vaccine’s potential risks. I’m telling you this because, had I known the potential risks, I definitely would not have agreed to have the vaccine. I’m sure I’m not the only person to say … Continue reading →

“It’s all just things”, we say, until it’s our things that have gone up in smoke. A house fire can occur at any time and often happens with little or no warning. Electrical wiring, cooking grease, lightning strikes, candles, dryers, cars, chemicals, wildfires, a neighbor’s house fire or toys left on lamps can all cause a fire to start. While many fires are preventable, there are plenty that are not. Did you know that during 2010-2014, roughly one of every 338 households reported a house fire per year, according to the National Fire Prevention Association? Most of us probably know someone who … Continue reading →

The death of Lieutenant General Valery Asapov and two Russian colonels who were with him in Syria highlights the fundamentally different military command philosophies of the US and Russian militaries. Putting aside the question of whether or not General Asapov was deliberately targeted, the key point about his death is that he was a high ranking general (commander at the time of his death of Russia’s 5th Red Banner Army) who was killed whilst carrying out personal reconnaissance on the front line in Deir Ezzor in Syria, where he exposed himself to shelling. Though his death was big news in Russia, … Continue reading →

Human Events, October 6, 2010 – My friend Joe Sobran died last Thursday, and the world lost its greatest writer. To my delight, some obituaries noted that he had influenced my writing style. I only wish I had known he was so close to the end so I could have seen him again to let him influence me some more. The G.K. Chesterton of our time, Joe could deliver a knockout punch with a single line. Many of his aphorisms were so catchy that everyone repeats them now without realizing their provenance. It was Joe who came up with the apocryphal New … Continue reading →
