The ancient Greeks are widely seen as having been the founders of Western medicine more than 2,000 years ago. But since then our understanding of the human body and how to treat it has changed beyond recognition. So what would be the point of studying ancient Greek medicine today? It’s part of a more general question: why bother studying medicine from times before people knew about germs, antibiotics, the circulation of the blood, or anesthetics? Although we now have a far more detailed and accurate picture of medicine, I think the ancient Greeks can help us think through a number … Continue reading

The Paleo diet could cut your risk of a heart attack in just eight weeks, new research claims. Within two months of living off food that a cave man could eat, participants in a new clinical study saw a dramatic improvement in their health. The findings will be presented at next week’s national heart disease conference. Though the study was small, it has been hailed by experts in the field as a sign that small dietary changes can have a staggering impact on our well-being. And it would be the first major study to show concrete benefits of the diet, … Continue reading

When a laceration occurs, our body’s natural armor is breached and bacteria, even species that are normal inhabitants of our skin, get a free ticket into the rest of our body. Microbes that are harmless outside the body could be life-threatening inside the body. It only makes common sense that we want to close a cut (also known as a “laceration”) to speed healing and lock out infection. There is controversy, however, as to whether or not a wound should be closed. When and why would you choose to close a wound, and what method should you use? A laceration … Continue reading

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The financial world loves focusing on some future event that they think will change everything. There is always some economic data, an important meeting like G20, the Fed, the ECB or a speech by Yellen or some other central bank head who hasn’t got a clue what is happening or what will happen. So now at the end of August, markets have all been focusing on Yellen’s speech at Jackson Hole Wyoming. Jackson Hole is, of course, a very befitting name since what the Fed is starring into is a … Continue reading

After my article on the government execution of Mary Surratt, I have been reflecting on the entire concept of execution by the State, Up front, I haven’t got any answers. All I’ve come up with are more questions. But I think we are at a point in time where we need to start asking these questions. We need to start asking where the State has now gone with the entire concept of execution. Let’s talk about another government execution: The execution of Japanese military leader Hideki Tojo, convicted of war crimes. Now, when American military police were battering down his … Continue reading

“Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.” ― Herbert Marcuse The FBI is worried: foreign hackers have broken into two state election databases. The Department of Homeland Security is worried: the nation’s voting system needs greater protection against cyber attacks. I, on the other hand, am not overly worried: after all, the voting booths have already been hacked by a political elite comprised of Republicans and Democrats who are determined to retain power at all costs. The outcome is a foregone conclusion: the police state will win and “we the people” will lose. The damage … Continue reading

Global Supply Chains Paralyzed After World’s Seventh Largest Container Shipper Files Bankruptcy and it’s Assets Frozen

Melania Trump’s lawsuit against me is without merit. Mrs. Trump is a public figure actively engaged in the Trump for president campaign. We are confident that Mrs. Trump will not be able to meet her high burden of proving the statements published about her on my website […]

A new, peaceful world order, dedicated to scientific progress, real economic advancement, and an all-out effort in space exploration, is being woven together at a series of four international summit meetings during September and October.  All four summits complement each other, but the single most important of them is the Group of 20 Summit in China, September 4-5.  If Americans show the intelligence and courage now, in September, to shake off the dying system of Obama and his like, we can begin to revive our nation’s morality, and with it our science and industry.  For those who are old enough to remember it, the effect will resemble what was only promised by the brief administration of the murdered John F. Kennedy, who brought us into space and onto the Moon, where a plaque has lain since 1969 with the words, “We came in peace for all mankind.”

We must return there!  We will return!  The Moon is the irreplaceable gateway to the Solar system and beyond.

The impetus that John Kennedy gave to the U.S. economy during the few short months he was allowed to serve, was not completely exhausted until the beginning of the 1970s.  Now, it is Barack Obama who has finally killed off everything left of the U.S. economy by shutting down our space program.   And the torch that John Kennedy dropped when he was killed, has been picked up by,— Vladimir Putin!  Along with the President of China, Xi Jinping, who is about to open the summit of the Group of 20.

What Russia and China are offering us is, on the one hand, membership in a vast, growing Eurasian system of interdependent infrastructure and growing science-based economy.  This concept was pioneered by Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche beginning in the 1980’s.  Now it has become reality under the name of China’s policy of the New Silk Road adopted in 2013, called, “One Belt, One Road.”

The other, complementary part of their offer is what is called a “New Financial Architecture.”  The present doomed financial system is at the verge of another blowout, which will choke off the means of livelihood throughout the entire trans-Atlantic area.  Economic development based on science, space exploration, and infrastructural “development corridors,” demands a return to the financial system invented by Alexander Hamilton, as Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt also returned to that system later.

Most immediately, we must take action now to insure that the estimated 2 quadrillion dollars of world derivatives (gambling) claims, does not implode and crush us immediately, as was threatened already in 2007-08.  This demands an immediate return to Franklin Roosevelt’s Glass-Steagall law, to separate commercial banking from gambling speculation while there is still time to do so. There is legislation to revive Glass-Steagall, with multiple bipartisan sponsors, in both Houses of Congress. What are our Congressmen and Senators doing?  Do they have any idea how many deaths will result among our citizens, if these vital protections are delayed further?

If you wait to act until Nov 8, it will probably be too late.  Inform yourself and act today, and seek out and make contact with everyone else who will act with us.  The governments of the world’s largest nations are appealing to us to do this, and they are right.

I’m ready to act.
