The United States of America may be a vast country, but it appears that huge swathes of its land are in fact owned by a relatively small number of people. So who are these ‘land barons’ exactly? Let’s take a look. 1 King family The King dynasty has owned huge stretches of land in Texas for over 150 years, as Richard King began purchasing it in 1853 and kept expanding his holdings all the way until his death in 1885. Today, the King Ranch is the biggest in Texas, comprising 825,000 acres of land covering six of the state’s counties. … Continue reading →

So far, my recent essays have been dedicated to an anthropological analysis of the archaic sacrificial origins of the state. I’ve established that statist law is consecrated chaos as the voting crowd’s need for controlled violence against scapegoats spirals ever out of control with the criminalization of virtually every misfit act in our culture. I then explained how the earliest of our government systems frequently celebrated the inauguration of new cities, temples, and grand structures with the ritual sacrifice of humans in the cornerstones of said structures. I also linked this practice of sacred violence to ritual cannibalism. Along the … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola Over the course of a lifetime, the average American uses about 20 gallons of toothpaste,1 and even though you don’t swallow it, chemicals in the toothpaste can make their way into your bloodstream, courtesy of the fact that your mouth has an absorption efficiency rate of more than 90 percent.2 With this in mind, it’s well worth considering what you’re brushing your teeth with on a daily basis. Many popular brands contain highly questionable ingredients that are best avoided for long-term health. A recent report by The Cornucopia Institute, an organic industry watchdog, highlights many of the … Continue reading →

Hardly a day goes by without some “news” about the Russian “threat,” and in the past twenty-four hours, the hate-on-Russia campaign seems to have picked up speed. After learning from Hillary Clinton that Vladimir Putin is not only responsible for the Trump campaign, but also for the “global nationalist movement” that yanked the British out of the European Union, mainstream media are telling us that Russian interlopers are supposedly invading our electoral process by hacking into voter databases. The Washington Post “reports”: “Hackers targeted voter registration systems in Illinois and Arizona, and the FBI alerted Arizona officials in June that Russian … Continue reading →

Healthy The 2016 UEFA European Championship: I was struck with the team from Iceland.  This team made it to the quarterfinals, finally losing to host nation France.  Iceland has a population of some 330,000 people.  It was reported that up to ten percent of the island’s population were attending the team’s matches in France.  When the team returned to Iceland from their eventual defeat to France, they were greeted by what seemed to be the entire population of the island. A real feel-good story.  Which caused me to reflect: why feel good about this display of national pride? I suspect … Continue reading →

John Maynard Keynes was a crackpot. So are his followers. All of them. I can hear the shocked response. “But, Dr. North, you’re not supposed to say such things. It’s not polite. It shows a lack of etiquette. People who say such things are themselves dismissed as crackpots.” To which I respond: “Dismissed by whom?” Here is my view: “Crackpot is as crackpot does.” Also: “Crackpot was as crackpot wrote.” Here is a passage from Keynes’ General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (Macmillan, 1936). This book has remained in print in the original edition ever since. You are about … Continue reading →

Nick Giambruno: Doug, I know you’ve been thinking about how the Greater Depression will unfold. It’s no secret the government has created the biggest credit bubble in history through endless money printing—euphemistically called QE—and now “NIRP” (negative interest rates). But I understand you’ve had a different “bubble” on your mind lately… Doug Casey: Yes. I’ve been thinking about the gigantic bubble in military spending in the U.S. And how it’s one of the worst things that can happen, and at the absolute worst time. The U.S. Government is bankrupt, we’re about to go into the trailing edge of a monumental … Continue reading →

Nigel Farage and Donald Trump embody the desire of their societies for a dignified and managed retreat from empire. By contrast, Hillary Clinton represents the last frenetic attempt within the US to sustain its imperial role. Regardless of the outcome of the Presidential election, it is Donald Trump in the US, like Nigel Farage in Britain, who is closer to the deeper and longer-term aspirations and feelings of the American people. In 1969 Julian Amery, Member of the UK Parliament published the final of a six-volume study on Joseph Chamberlain and his tariff reform campaign. The campaign which began in … Continue reading →

It is no secret that earnings have gone nowhere over the past two years (and are set to decline for 6 consecutive quarters), while on a GAAP basis earnings as of 2015 were the lowest since 2010… … which means that earnings growth has not been a factor behind the stock market’s recent ascent to all-time highs. As a result, the conventional explanation to justify the S&P trading just shy of 2,200 is that the market has been the beneficiary of unprecedented multiple expansion. To be sure, as Goldman recently opined, the median stock multiple has never been more overvalue. … Continue reading →

Do you smirk when you hear someone question the official stories of Orlando, San Bernardino, Paris or Nice? Do you feel superior to 2,500 architects and engineers, to firefighters, commercial and military pilots, physicists and chemists, and former high government officials who have raised doubts about 9/11? If so, you reflect the profile of a mind-controlled CIA stooge. The term “conspiracy theory” was invented and put into public discourse by the CIA in 1964 in order to discredit the many skeptics who challenged the Warren Commission’s conclusion that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman named Lee … Continue reading →
