When interest rates are zero and it costs a bank to look after your money it becomes an unattractive asset. Banks in some jurisdictions (such as Switzerland, Denmark and Sweden) are even charging customers interest on cash and deposits. And if you go to your bank and withdraw large amounts in the form of folding notes to avoid these charges you will be lucky if you are not treated as a sort of pariah. For the moment, at least, these problems do not extend to sound money, in other words gold. There are two distinct issues involved with government-issued currency: … Continue reading →

Wouldn’t it be easier if they just hit us all with another once-annually additional “fee” (that is, another tax) that would be due Jan. 1 and otherwise left us alone on the roads unless we actually caused an accident? Instead of cops lurking in cutouts on the highway, radar guns at the ready, fleecing people at random – why not just cut ’em a check every year and end the dog-and-pony show that goes on countless of thousands of times every day by the side of the road – and later on, in a court? It’d be so much easier … Continue reading →

When the DEA is seen in a negative light by Americans, it is due almost entirely to the agency’s relatively small relationship to the domestic war on drugs. But, the reason for this agency coming into being was much broader than to knight a batch of domestic “narcs.”  The domestic aspect represented only one tentacle; the one that Americans see.  Actually, the lion’s share of investigative and “enforcement” work done in the domestic war on drugs is conducted by state and local officers.  They often act with federal funding and equipment and occasionally access federal prosecution with accompanying federal minimum … Continue reading →

There come times in our lives when we need added protection against body odor. Whether we’re at the gym or in an important meeting, it’s very likely that, without some type of deodorant, we’ll sweat and let out a little odor. Not a pleasant topic, but it can’t be ignored.

Project MKULTRA is one of the most famous undertakings relating to the CIA’s efforts toward mass mind control. There were many different tests conducted as a part of the project, including some conducted on volunteers, inmates, and unsuspecting targets.

If I were to ask you if you were healthy, you would answer based on how you’re currently feeling. So if you weren’t coughing, sneezing, dizzy or have a headache, you would probably say you were quite healthy. But having symptoms to an illness isn’t necessarily the only way to measure your health. There are many other ways our bodies try to tell us that something is wrong that, frankly, we ignore. Health is measured in numerous ways, and doesn’t just fall on the presence of symptoms. Instead of relying on symptoms to determine your health, look at some of … Continue reading →
