Long ago in Havana,  my mother and father would take me to the  famed “Floridita” bar to join a burly, white-bearded man and drink daiquiris. He gave me his book, A Farewell to Arms, autographed to “Eric, from his friend Ernest Hemingway. Havana, 1953” Those were the old days in Cuba, even before Fidel Castro. That’s how far back I go on this lovely island on the Spanish Main. I’ve twice been in battle in the west African state of Angola against Cuban troops that had been sent by Fidel Castro to fight white South African forces. After visiting Cuba … Continue reading →

Snyder, who reported last week that he’s currently working on a new adaptation of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead, has often talked about drawing inspiration from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns when coming up with the direction for the sequel to his Superman origin story, Man of Steel.

I was reminded of a similar tearjerker in Ann Coulter’s … Continue reading →

I WAS AFRAID OF THIS. The minute I learned of the double bombing at the Brussels airport check-in lobby earlier today, I knew how the conversation would go. Sure enough, even before the morning was out, we were hearing calls for tighter security in airports. First, a little history. Although airplanes themselves are historically the choicest target, attacks inside terminals are nothing new. For instance: In 1972, the Japanese Red Army killed 26 people in the arrivals lounge at Israel’s Lod Airport (today’s Ben Gurion International). In 1985, the Abu Nidal group killed 20 in a pair of coordinated ticket … Continue reading →

Louis James, the editor of International Speculator, sat down with Doug Casey to discuss the ongoing “War on Cash.” Doug reveals what people looking to protect their money should do. As the War on Cash has gone into overdrive lately, this is a timely discussion that you’ll find below. Louis James: There have been a lot of government moves recently, making it harder for people to do business in cash. What do you think, are the days of anonymous paper money numbered? Doug Casey: It’s funny. First, there was a war on gold. Now, there is definitely a war on cash. … Continue reading →
