The location for the 2015 annual conference of the Bilderberg Group has been confirmed. … Continue reading →
What do past events in Nigeria have to do with current actions of U.S. government employees? Everything. Muhammadu Buhari was just elected president of Nigeria after running unsuccessfully for the office in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections. He previously ruled the country as a dictator for 20 months in the mid 1980s after coming to power in a military coup. This was after he, while holding the rank of colonel, attended the U.S. Army War College in Pennsylvania and graduated in 1980 with a master’s degree in Strategic Studies. He himself was overthrown in a coup in August of … Continue reading →
Just when I thought an American presidential campaign couldn’t be kicked off any dumber, Hillary Clinton went and proved me wrong. Hillary has taken to the great American highway in a minivan for a whistle-stop tour to spread the word to the American people. At first I thought this was some kind of a prank, but then I saw she’s already started. What is this, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters? Yeah, well, you’ll need to take the “electric Kool-Aid acid test” to believe the crap she’s selling. Hey Hillary, if you want to see how the American people really … Continue reading →
Militarism and military spending are everywhere on the rise, as the new Cold War propaganda seems to be paying off. The new “threats” that are being hyped bring big profits to military contractors and the network of think tanks they pay to produce pro-war propaganda. Here are just a few examples: The German government announced last week that it would purchase 100 more “Leopard” tanks – a 45 percent increase in the country’s inventory. Germany had greatly reduced its inventory of tanks as the end of the Cold War meant the end of any threat of a Soviet ground invasion … Continue reading →
With the passage of House Bill 195 into law, the State of Louisiana has banned the use of cash in all transactions involving secondhand goods. State representative Ricky Hardy, a co-author of the bill, claims that the bill targets criminals who traffic in stolen goods. According to Hardy, “It’s a mechanism to be used so the police department has something to go on and have a lead.” The bill prohibits cash transactions by “secondhand dealers,” defined to include garage sales, flea markets, resellers of specialty items, and even non-profit resellers like Goodwill. Curiously, it specifically exempts pawnbrokers from the ban. … Continue reading →
What happens inside your body when you eat processed junk food? We all have a vague idea, and we certainly see what it does to the exterior portion of our bodies — but most of us have never seen the actual digestion process take place. Now, thanks to a ‘smart pill’ camera setup by TEDxManhattan fellow Stefani Bardin, we can see what really goes on. Check out the video below: Reprinted from Natural Society.
One of the wonders of modern times is that reality is often seen as a social construct and therefore optional. Thus, if one finds a particular reality offensive or inconvenient, he just “changes” it. Say that one is born a male or a female but believes that nature made an error. Some believe that nature’s “error” can be corrected by calling oneself another sex. Possibly a medical procedure on one’s genitalia can correct nature’s error. However, Mother Nature is ruthless. Sex determination is strictly chromosomal. Females are XX, and males are XY. There is no medical procedure that can change … Continue reading →
“What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.”—Author Tom Clancy The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet no matter who wins this next presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters, public and private. Indeed, as I point … Continue reading →
Ronald H. Coase’s 1960 article, “The Problem of Social Cost,” has misled more free market economists than any scholarly article ever published. It has been cited in footnotes more than any other law review article. I published my refutation in 1990. I also refuted Coase’s disciple, Gary Becker. Coase won the Nobel Prize in 1991. Becker won in 1992. This indicates my degree of influence with the Nobel committee. Coase died at the age of 102 in 2013. Coase’s article rests on a specious ethical neutrality. It also invokes a world of zero transaction costs: human omnisciece. He made the … Continue reading →
Citi Group’s top economist, Willem Buiter, sees a big problem with cash. He is of the opinion that becasue interest rates are so low, the Federal Reserve is not able to pump sufficient quantities of money into the economy. He holds this view despite the fact that the money supply has grown by near 50% , since the interest rate controlled by the Fed, the Fed Funds rate, has been near zero. Buiter somehow views this money growth as not sufficnt, despite the fact that sound economics teaches that it is increased production of goods and services, not increased money … Continue reading →
By Dr. Mercola In a survey of at-home spending patterns on food among US households, the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the US Department of Agriculture revealed Americans are throwing a lot of their food budgets toward very unhealthy foods. The average US household spent most of their food budget (nearly 18 percent) on refined grains followed by sugar and candies (at nearly 14 percent). The next highest category was red meat (mostly from concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs), followed by frozen or refrigerated entrees and beverages.1 In stark contrast, Americans spent less than 0.5 percent of their food … Continue reading →
It is one of history’s ironies that the Lincoln Memorial is a sacred space for the Civil Rights Movement and the site of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Lincoln did not think blacks were the equals of whites. Lincoln’s plan was to send the blacks in America back to Africa, and if he had not been assassinated, returning blacks to Africa would likely have been his post-war policy. As Thomas DiLorenzo and a number of non-court historians have conclusively established, Lincoln did not invade the Confederacy in order to free the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation did not occur … Continue reading →
