Our country is beset by a large number of economic myths that distort public thinking on important problems and lead us to accept unsound and dangerous government policies. Here are ten of the most dangerous of these myths and an analysis of what is wrong with them. Myth #1 Deficits are the cause of inflation; deficits have nothing to do with inflation. In recent decades we always have had federal deficits. The invariable response of the party out of power, whichever it may be, is to denounce those deficits as being the cause of our chronic inflation. And the invariable … Continue reading →

Perhaps Fox TV viewers and readers of his bestselling books think that Bill O’Reilly is a Renaissance Man. However, there is a far more intelligent and profound voice we can all listen to that thanks to Lew Rockwell I discovered; that voice belongs to Joseph Sobran. And his opus is available not only at LewRockwell.com but also published in books by the Fitzgerald Griffin Foundation, which also has archives of his writings. And so I’d like to share with you examples of Sobran’s unmatched quality of thought, thought that is profound yet eminently readable, a true pleasure to ponder and … Continue reading →

If you long to live until 100, then you’re in the right place. We have some of the most common health tips that centennials around the world follow. As you will soon see, it’s easier than you’d think. Dan Buettner, the author of The Blue Zones and The Blue Zone Solution, identified parts of the world that have the highest concentrations of centennials and named them blue zones. Not only do these places have the highest concentration of people over 100, but they also have extremely low rates of chronic diseases. There are currently five blue zones: Loma Linda, California; … Continue reading →

FOR ASPIRING JOURNALISTS, historians or politically-engaged citizens, there are few more productive uses of one’s time than randomly reading through the newsletters of I.F. Stone, the intrepid and independent journalist of the Cold War era who became, in my view, the nation’s first “blogger” even though he died before the advent of the internet. Frustrated by big media’s oppressive corporatized environment and its pro-government propaganda model, and then ultimately blacklisted from mainstream media outlets for his objections to anti-Russia narratives, Stone created his own bi-monthly newsletter, sustained exclusively by subscriptions, and spent 18 years relentlessly debunking propaganda spewing from the U.S. Government … Continue reading →

Over the past year, an organization called the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has been surveying college campuses around the country to assess how the liberal bastions of safe spaces handle reports of “hate speech” (a.k.a. “any opinion, or fact for that matter, that runs contrary to the widely accepted views of leftist professors and administrators”).  Apparently, and to our great shock no less, hundreds of college campuses all around the country have established so-called “Bias Response Teams” tasked with the crucial responsibility of scrutinizing campus speech that may be deemed “hateful.” While FIRE published a very comprehensive, … Continue reading →

This article you should not only save, but also burn it into your memory for the finer points mentioned.  As you Guys and Gals out there in ReadyNutrition Land have deduced from the title, situational awareness is a topic covered before in many different articles and it is important all the time. You must blend that situational awareness with actions to take immediately upon the perception that a situation has arrived.  Notice I said “perception” and not confirmation.  Know why? Because you need to react accordingly with the perception: the confirmation may be too late. Scoffers are already picking this one … Continue reading →

I have plenty of experience in publishing. I’m the author of 12 books, including two New York Times bestsellers. The most recent of my 12 was self-published, and I was very pleased with the experience. I’ve also published five free eBooks. I’m going to share with you what I’ve learned, and how you can use my experience to your advantage. Most of what I say will have to do with eBooks, but I’ll have some recommendations for print books as well. First of all, understand that although self-publishing yields an author much higher royalty percentages, it also involves costs. You … Continue reading →
