Washington has a long history of massacring people, for example, the destruction of the Plains Indians by the Union war criminals Sherman and Sheridan and the atomic bombs dropped on Japanese civilian populations, but Washington has progressed from periodic massacres to fulltime massacring. From the Clinton regime forward, a massacre of civilians has become a defining characteristic of the United States of America. Washington is responsible for the destruction of Yugoslavia and Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and part of Syria.  Washington has enabled Saudi Arabia’s attack on Yemen, Ukraine’s attack on its former Russian provinces, and Israel’s destruction of … Continue reading →

Admit it. You get it wrong sometimes. I don’t care how many degrees you have, how steeped you are in the highest register of formal discourse, how vicious you are with the red pen, how many children’s wrists you have slapped with a ruler. You sometimes write there when you mean their or they’re. Yes, you. You may catch it every time, correct it before pressing “send,” but you do it. The language just makes it so easy to do. Not only are these three words pronounced exactly the same, they are all constantly in use in everyday discourse. Wait … Continue reading →

Last week, Kurdish authorities rescued 16-year-old Marlin Stivani Nivarlain at the behest of the Swedish government. Like something out of an SNL sketch, she had emigrated to northern Iraq because her boyfriend joined ISIS and she thought it would be fun. It wasn’t. “In the house, we didn’t have anything, no electricity, no water,” she told a Kurdistan news channel, “nothing.” I’m reminded of the complaining millennials who regretted joining ISIS after they realized their iPods don’t work there (also a comedy sketch). These aren’t just some esoteric examples of a tiny minority of young people who go astray. It’s … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola Proteins are found in every cell in your body. These chains of amino acids are important for repair, maintenance, and growth of cells, and are essential for healthy muscles, organs, glands, and skin. As protein is broken down and used up in your body, you must replace it by consuming protein via your diet. There’s no question that eating enough high-quality protein is essential to good health, but in the US, most people eat more protein than they need. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):1 “…most adults in the United States get … Continue reading →

In last night’s debate (March 3, 2016), Trump suffered blows at the hands of moderators and candidates alike, and didn’t respond well. Some very lively exchanges occurred, just as they did last time. Lew Rockwell and I give you the details and our thoughts. Listen to the podcast For audio of the previous debates go to TomWoods.com.

Government-funded housing projects in the United States nearly all began with a common dream—to end urban slums and provide an affordable, safe housing option for low- to middle-income families. This dream has fallen so far that even many residents of some of the nation’s most infamous housing projects have called for their demolition. From gang violence to the robust drug trade to the incompetence of many local housing authority offices, large-scale government housing has seen some very dark days. Sadly, it’s the projects’ most vulnerable residents, the young and the very old, who suffer the most. They are the ones … Continue reading →

I went to Libya in 1987 to interview its strongman, Muammar Gaddafi. We spent an evening talking in his colorful Bedouin tent outside the Bab al-Azizya Barracks in Tripoli which had been bombed a year earlier by the US in an attempt to kill the troublesome Libyan leader. Gaddafi predicted to me that if he were overthrown, Libya would break up into two or three parts and again fall prey to western domination. His efforts to bring the Arab world and West Africa out of subservience and backwardness would be ended, he foretold. The Libyan “leader” was right. Today, after … Continue reading →

[Classic: 12/5/2002] — It was going to be a short, easy war. King Menelaus of Sparta had a domestic problem: his beautiful wife Helen had run off with his handsome guest, the Trojan prince Paris. So he called in his chips, summoning other Greek rulers — all former suitors of Helen who owed him their fealty — to help him recover her. Surely Troy — a rich, civilized but isolated and effete city — could not withstand their combined forces for long. It would soon see reason and give up Helen. But Troy proved unexpectedly stubborn and tough. The war … Continue reading →

“There are three types of lies — lies, damn lies, and statistics.” ― Benjamin Disraeli It’s my favorite day of the month. The Bureau of Lies & Scams issues their double seasonally adjusted, massaged to provide a happy ending, birth death adjusted unemployment propaganda, designed to keep the masses in the dark about their own dire financial circumstances. Even though the equally manipulated GDP is at 1% or below, retail sales are plunging, corporate profits plummeted by 15% in the 4th quarter and Challenger & Grey corporate layoff announcements were up 42% in January versus last year, our fraudulent friends … Continue reading →

Marc Faber from the Gloom, Boom and Doom Report gave a rather alarming outlook for companies in the oil industry during his interview with ET Now. Faber stated that oil prices have dropped roughly from $100 to $30, and most of the energy-related firms will sink into bankruptcy. He stated that the oil industry in the Middle East has been depreciating, which has negatively affected the resource sector. Some of the countries that have been hard hit include Brazil, Russia, and South Africa among others. He also added that he does not believe that the price will not drop below … Continue reading →

In a show of hands, how many of you have at least two dozen lighters set aside for survival use?  My guess is at least 50% of you have a couple of dozens and most likely 10% have 100 or more. Along with water and food, adding tools for making fire is one of the first preps most newbies acquire.  Whether the tool of choice is matched, lighters, a fire steel, Fresnel lens, or all of the above, it makes sense to have multiple ways to start a fire.  That makes sense, since after all, fire can be used to … Continue reading →
