‘A court in Bahrain has sentenced twelve people to life imprisonment and revoked their citizenship over alleged involvement in plotting bomb attacks against Al Khalifa regime forces in the tiny Persian Gulf kingdom. Bahrain’s high criminal court, presided by Judge Sheikh Mohammed bin Ali Al Khalifa, ruled on Sunday that the defendants had formed what […]

To celebrate the arrival of the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, in Britain, the Guardian newspaper reported that many eminent British writers had, in an open letter, urged the British prime minister, David Cameron, to raise the question of increasing intolerance of dissent in India under Modi’s leadership. As the Nigerians say, you might as well try to stop goats from eating yams: Mr. Cameron is not the kind of person to sacrifice the political convenience of the moment for a mere principle, however sacred. Of course, I am not in favor of intolerance of dissent, but it is always … Continue reading →

On Friday the 13th, Paris, the City of Light, was plunged into darkness and fear. At least eight young jihadists, allegedly from the so-called  Islamic State group, attacked the national sports stadium, where President Francois Hollande was attending a soccer match with Germany’s foreign minister. They also attacked  outdoor cafes, a pizzeria and a rock club. As of this writing, 127 civilians were killed and dozens wounded.  All of the attackers are believed to have died.  For the second time this year, Paris is terror-struck and shaken to its foundation.  Pope Francis aptly described the attacks as “homicidal madness.”  What … Continue reading →

Bubbles are always obvious … in retrospect. Here’s one you might not see coming. The Car Bubble. People are taking out eight-year car loans. This is – or ought to be – alarming. The automotive equivalent of the zero-down, no-doc, adjustable rate mortgage on a $500,000 McMansion circa 2004. You know – just before the housing bubble popped. New car loans used to be 36 months (three years) and then 48 months (four years). Back when the economy was sane. Today, the typical new car loan is 72 months (six years). This is almost double the formerly typical length of a … Continue reading →

The first rule of bureaucratic crisis management is: “Find someone else to blame.” This is true even in agencies as small as the Adams County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Ryan Zollman would have an insuperable conflict of interest were he to conduct the official inquiry into the November 1st killing of Jack Yantis. He could have avoided that conflict by firing the deputies, charging them as private citizens, and then turning the evidence over to a special prosecutor. This would have provoked trouble with the Fraternal Order of Police and precipitated a grievance with the Idaho State Industrial Commission, but it … Continue reading →

It seems like everyone wants to REDUCE CHOLESTEROL.  There are some great natural ways to do this, but everyone is unique – so what works for one, may not work for another.  Cholesterol is necessary for many body functions, meaning that you don’t want to reduce it completely, but you don’t want unhealthy levels either. DIET is the best place to start.  Eliminate foods full of unhealthy transfatty acids and hydrogenated oils which tend to increase cholesterol. HIGH CHOLESTEROL and HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES are symptos of either insulin resistance or diabete.   This means you are eating too much sugar or … Continue reading →

James Woolsey, former director of the CIA, said in an interview about the Paris attacks that IS has rapidly expanded from about 30,000  to about 150,000. CIA “numbers” are very dicey and political. But everything indicates that the Islamic Caliphate is growing extremely rapidly at its core[s] and with new affiliates over thousands of miles in the E.U., North Africa, the Middle East and Afghanistan. This explosive, possibly exponential growth, is part of the exponential growth of Muslim Holy Warriors in general against U.S. and European imperialist attacks of all forms on Islam. This vast explosion of Muslim Holy Warriors is … Continue reading →

My mother died on Sunday night, November 8. We had known this was likely. She would have been 98 next month. She lived across the country from me. I must now make arrangements at a distance. Her memory has been gone for several months. She did not recognize me earlier this year. It is not Alzheimer’s. Her memory has just stopped functioning properly over the last five years. The elder of her church and I are now planning the arrangements. I want the following: 1. Immediate burial 2. Memorial service held at her church whenever the four families can coordinate … Continue reading →

The 5,000-year-old Kültepe tablets: The kiln tablets, considered the earliest written documentation of life in Anatolia, were unearthed during archaeological excavations on the Kültepe-Kaniş-Karum mound in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri. Was this the documentation of kings and conquerors, the glories of an ancient warlord? “The Kültepe tablets are completely owned by the private sector, private individuals. The content of the tablets is 99 percent commercial. They are not official state documents; they are the archive of free traders. In this term, they are the earliest private sector documents. Therefore, the tablets feature the feelings of traders at that … Continue reading →

The Fracas at the University of Missouri by Prof. Walter E. Block I had a dream the other night, that I was president of Loyola University, and faced with the challenges that confronted Tim Wolfe, the now ex-president of the University of Missouri. But don’t get worried: I have no intention of taking up any such office; it would interfere with my research, writing and publication. In any case, I am not sure Loyola is quite ready for a Jewish atheist as its leader. In any case, what would I do if I were in Mr. Wolfe’s shoes?  Here are … Continue reading →

May I read you a few lines from Tolstoy’s War and Peace? When Boris entered the room, Prince Andrey was listening to an old general, wearing his decorations, who was reporting something to Prince Andrey, with an expression of soldierly servility on his purple face. “Alright. Please wait!” he said to the general, speaking in Russian with the French accent which he used when he spoke with contempt. The moment he noticed Boris he stopped listening to the general who trotted imploringly after him and begged to be heard, while Prince Andrey turned to Boris with a cheerful smile and … Continue reading →

When horrible events happen, people want to know why. Why was a random group of people targeted to have their innocent day destroyed by violence and terror? Why did the culprit choose that group of victims, that day on the calendar, that specific location? And who? Who was the mastermind behind the event? Who were the members of the group that perpetrated the horror? This is always followed by the speculation that things are not as they have been presented to us.  Most people in the preparedness world have a very valid mistrust of the corporate-sponsored mainstream media. We look to … Continue reading →

All words had to start somewhere. Through the careful work of historical linguists and lexicographers, we can usually trace a word, if not to its ultimate origin, at least pretty far back in time. We know that the word water, for example, goes back to an old Germanic source by comparing it with words from other Germanic languages: Dutch water, German Wasser, Old Icelandic vatr. We know the word fruit came to English from French because we first have evidence of its use during the period when the French Normans ruled England. Sometimes, after much searching and analyzing, no satisfying … Continue reading →
