A crackerjack job of cold-case reporting, deft in description and detail of old assumptions and stunning new information, convincing in its final appeal to the District Attorney of Manhattan: Reopen this case, Mr. D.A. — It begs for a better understanding of the murder of the reporter who was hot on the trail of who really killed John Kennedy. Mark Shaw has given us a front-of-the-shelf JFK assassination book that really makes us wonder who dunit and why and pays some long-overdue homage to the tough woman reporter who was about to find out when she died. Five stars. ”The … Continue reading →

Linked are Part-I, Part-II, Part-III, and Part-IV , which provide updates on the rapidly encroaching police state Expect a continuation of new social engineering notifications, each sabotaging wealth-creation, confiscating people’s wealth, and tyrannizing those who refuse to be a part of the herd, in the process destroying the very backbone of the economy and civilization.

A long time ago, people did not buy or sell with money. Instead, they traded one thing for another to get what they wanted or needed. This exchange of goods or services is called barter.

Many cultures around the world eventually developed the use of money whose value was based on the value of the material from which it was made. This type of money is known as “specie money” and its … Continue reading →

Don’t trust banks to protect the money you’ve deposited? You’re hardly alone. From a legal standpoint, the money you deposit in a bank no longer belongs to you. Instead, the bank owns it. You are merely just another one of their unsecured creditors. What’s more, in the event of future bank failures, the US government has now signed an international agreement confirming that it will not pay off depositors. Instead, it will force them to submit to a “bail-in” regime, like bank depositors in Cyprus experienced in 2013. The bail-in scenario, on top of the lowest interest rates in 5,000 … Continue reading →

Winter is a busy, festive time of year. It’s also a time when more people tend to get sick. What exactly is it about this time of year that encourages aches and sniffles? “Catching a chill” has long been suspected as a cause of winter ailments and, for just as long, has been dismissed as folklore. Can You Get Sick from Cold Weather? It is true that exposure to cold temperatures constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow. Conceivably, this could weaken the immune system since it means fewer protective white blood cells make the rounds.[1] But, cold weather alone … Continue reading →
