By now, people know that I say some controversial things. I can’t help it; it’s who I am. Ok, so, try this one on for size: Democracy is a scam. What?! Did he really just say democracy is a scam?! Yes, he did. And he shall explain. Now, I walk around the great city of Tucson here because I am on foot most of the time. I am a wayfarer. It seems that Political Season is in the air here. You know this time of the year: Severe BS allergies acting up, big piles of fallen lies littering the ground, the Dumbocracy … Continue reading →

One of the people I genuinely enjoy listening to at investment conferences is James Rickards, bestselling author of The Death of Money and Currency Wars. Well, he’s out with a new book to be released in another three weeks titled, The New Case for Gold. I’ve read his first two books and, by and large, I agree with his conclusions. He believes that gold will be a major part of a new international replacement for the Bretton Woods agreement. On that, we agree. But he believes a gold linked version of the SDR, the Special Drawing Rights will be the … Continue reading →

Big purchases aren’t always something to feel guilty about. After a few decades, years, or even months, there are plenty of items that will begin to pay for themselves and then some. Here’s when to expect to see a return on 11 major investments. 1. TUXEDO // 3 TO 4 WEARS A standard tux can easily go for $500 or more, which makes renting a tempting option. But if you plan on attending, at least, a few weddings in your lifetime, you’ll be glad you made the investment early on. According to one recent report, the average cost to rent … Continue reading →

Folks, Today, Allison and I are travelling from Nelson, NZ to Auckland, NZ.  Therefore, I have some time to write you. Tuesday is election day in Michigan.  Again, as in past elections, I am unhappy with the choices presented to me. As for my politics—I dislike both major parties and feel they have failed our country terribly.  We are in desperate need of a third party where healthy, normal citizens can run for the major offices. Although I am in New Zealand, I just discussed the election with Allison.  Here are my thoughts. In the U.S., as in other countries, … Continue reading →

It’s like a Monty Python skit – except it’s not funny. The Covert Joint Mobile Mission. Sounds all rugged and special ops, doesn’t it? But these body-armored geeks are just jacked-up traffic cops looking for seatbelt violations and such. In a blacked-out tour bus, these low-rent Rambos prowl the North Texas highways looking for offenders. The height of the coach giving them a bird’s-eye view inside your car. And if they see you’re not buckled up for safety or texting then – Hut! Hut! Hut! – they radio to a colleague in a car who Hot Pursuits the dangerous scofflaw. All … Continue reading →

The Republican Party appears to be thrashing about like a wild beast in the final stages of its death throes. For those of us who are repulsed by politicians, political parties, and the odious political process, it’s quite entertaining to watch. (Before proceeding, it’s important to point out that what people think of as the Republican Party is really just a wing of what I have been referring to since 1979 as the Demopublican Party — an oligarchy with two wings, the Democratic wing that sets the agenda and the Republican wing whose main function is to help implement that agenda.) … Continue reading →

“We want no Gestapo or secret police. The FBI is tending in that direction. They are dabbling in sex-life scandals and plain blackmail. J. Edgar Hoover would give his right eye to take over, and all congressmen and senators are afraid of him.”—President Harry S. Truman “Don’t Be a Puppet” is the message the FBI is sending young Americans. As part of the government’s so-called ongoing war on terror, the nation’s de facto secret police force is now recruiting students and teachers to spy on each other and report anyone who appears to have the potential to be “anti-government” or … Continue reading →

Los Angeles–Back from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, which has ushered into this veil of whatever it is a veil of the world’s most advanced and meritorious granddaughter, the only credible evidence for Darwin. Helluva baby. A military-minded friend said I should regard her as “a howitzer round fired eighty-five years down-range.” See below for specifications. Ava Carlyle Vernier, her own self. Eight pounds seven ounces, all systems go. A major advance in biology. The evolutionary progression: Al Sharpton, the Great Apes, Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, Ava Carlyle. Estimated IQ: Low four figures. Nobility: Obvious. Does not look like every baby ever born. If respiratory capacity may … Continue reading →

It’s bad enough depositing your money into a bank account and earning essentially zero interest on it, or in some countries, having a negative interest rate. It’s even worse knowing that once you deposit your money in a bank, it’s not really yours anymore. You have turned over your property to the bank in return for a debt claim. You become an unsecured creditor holding an IOU. Worst of all, there’s the “bail-in,” which we all became familiar with during the 2013 banking collapse in Cyprus. Some uninsured depositors got half of their money back, although, at one bank, customers received … Continue reading →

Spurinna was a haruspex. His calling was vital, if a little unusual, requiring him to see the future in the warm entrails of sacrificial animals. At the great festival of Lupercalia on the 15th of February 44 B.C., he was a worried man. While priests were running around the Palatine Hill hitting women with thongs to make them fertile, Spurinna was chewing over a terrible omen. The bull that Julius Caesar, Dictator of Rome, had sacrificed earlier that day had no heart. Spurinna knew it was a terrible sign: a sure portent of death. The following day, the haruspex oversaw … Continue reading →

Donald Trump is evil! He is a racist. He is divisive. He is the cause of violence. He is (your complaint here). So what? Is he any worse than any other of these scumbags that are running for president? You have to be a scumbag to be president. Hillary is evil incarnate and a scumbagette. That’s why she is the perfect candidate for president. But Hillary isn’t funny or entertaining, so I don’t like her. Don is very entertaining. If I voted, I’d vote for Donald Trum……. Er, no, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t vote… I don’t vote. Ever. But I … Continue reading →
