This documentary was produced in 2007-8. The information that it presents is somewhat better known today, but not much. Its title: “Demographic Winter.” The humanist Left despises this documentary. Why? Because it lays a tombstone on Paul Ehrlich’s preposterous book, The Population Bomb (1968). Let us be reasonable about this. Population implosion is inevitable. Those who predict a population implosion are correct. But they usually are afraid of this implosion. I am not. Here is the inescapable reality of population growth: it cannot continue indefinitely. Why not? Because of this word: “finite,” as in “indefinite.” Nothing in a finite universe … Continue reading →

[The Daily Bell, exclusive interview, March 27, 2011.] DAILY BELL: Please answer these questions as our readers were not already aware of your fine work and considered opinions. Let’s jump right in. Why is democracy “The God That Failed?” DR. HANS-HERMANN HOPPE: The traditional, premodern state form is that of a (absolute) monarchy. The democratic movement was directed against kings and the classes of hereditary nobles. Monarchy was criticized as being incompatible with the basic principle of “equality before the law.” It rested on privilege and was unfair and exploitative. Democracy was supposed to be the way out. In opening … Continue reading →

With an estimated 250,000 to 600,000 guns stolen per year in the U.S., gun storage has always been one of the basic tenants to firearm ownership. However, modern day gun owners don’t want to just store or protect their guns in any old box.

Though there are a range of small, ma-and-pa shops serving up hidden compartment, home defense furniture, and decor, Tactical Walls’ products were among the first to go mainstream. Touting the ability to safely … Continue reading →

A good example is the common Mason jar.  Another is the flour sack dishtowel. I was chatting with Backdoor Survival reader, Susan Perry, about this very same thing when she offered to share her top twenty-five uses for flour sack towels.  How cool is that? I grew up around flour sack dishtowels.  I remember how … Continue reading →
