Collapse begins when real reform becomes impossible. We all know why reforms fail: everyone whose share of the power and money is being crimped by reforms fights back with everything they’ve got. Reforms that can’t be stopped by the outright purchase of politicos are watered down in committee, and loopholes wide enough for jumbo-jets of cash to fly through are inserted. The reform quickly becomes “reform”–a simulacrum that maintains the facade of fixing what’s broken while maintaining the Status Quo. Another layer of costly bureaucracy is added, along with hundreds or thousands of pages of additional regulations, all of which … Continue reading →

1. As you think, so shall you become. 2. If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of. 3. A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. 4. A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. 5. The successful warrior is the average man, with laser focus. 6. Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them. 7. Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. 8.

One of the most iconic images of the European Middle Ages is the castle. This defensive structure was often heavily fortified and provided its inhabitants with much-needed safety. It was usually quite difficult for an enemy to capture a castle, and for that, an attacking army needed siege engines. One of the most important and efficient siege engines was the catapult. The Roman Onager The catapult was a weapon used since ancient times. In its most basic form, the catapult may be described as a “one-armed stone thrower”.

“Racist Rant Shelves Shock Jock,” screamed the front page of New York’s Daily News in July of last year. Anthony Cumia was fired from his twenty-year gig with The Opie & Anthony Show. He had been attacked by a gigantic black woman for taking her picture and was subsequently approached by a mob of black men. He had a gun on him but managed to bark them all away without brandishing it. He later tweeted hurtful comments such as “It’s a jungle in our cities after midnight” and “Violent savages own our streets.” It is and they do. Sirius cut … Continue reading →

LEAKED INTERNAL EMAILS from the powerful Democratic think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) shed light on several public controversies involving the organization, particularly in regard to its positioning on Israel. They reveal the lengths to which the group has gone in order to placate AIPAC and long-time Clinton operative and Israel activist Ann Lewis — including censoring its own writers on the topic of Israel. The emails also provide crucial context for understanding CAP’s controversial decision to host an event next week for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That event, billed by CAP as “A Conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” will feature CAP President Neera … Continue reading →

Whoever bombed the Russian airliner that was destroyed over Sinai last week must be having a hearty laugh watching the ensuing chaotic reaction of the great powers. As of this writing, it increasingly appears that the Russian Metroliner A321-200  Airbus was indeed downed by an explosion.  Curiously, no traces of explosive residues have yet been found –or at least yet reported.  There remains the much smaller probability that the aircraft’s tail may have fallen off as the result of metal fatigue caused by a ground collision over a decade ago. Egypt, whose vital tourist industry has been battered this year … Continue reading →

There is a primal link between man and fire. Every man should know how to start one. A manly man knows how to start one without matches. It’s an essential survival skill. You never know when you’ll find yourself in a situation where you’ll need a fire, but you don’t have matches. Maybe your single engine plane goes down while you’re flying over the Alaskan wilderness, like the kid in Hatchet. Or perhaps you’re out camping and you lose your backpack in a tussle with a bear. It need not be something as dramatic as these situations — even extremely … Continue reading →

Now is a good time to start building your IMMUNE SYSTEM for flu season. Whether you are concerned about colds or flu, there are some great natural strategies for you to use to build your immune system. Let’s review a bit about viruses and immune function. VIRUSES are opportunistic and function like scavengers. If the host is healthy and there is nothing to scavenge, the virus will not be successful. An average body is somewhat easy to bring into balance and KEEP WELL. You want to make sure you are eating well balanced meals, getting plenty of sleep, exercising, and drinking plenty … Continue reading →
