Just to prove that there’s nothing new under the sun, a couple of significant electric cars are coming up for sale at auction – but they date from 110 years ago. The Historics sale at Brooklands on June 11 features an American-built 1906 Pope Waverley Victoria Phaeton and a 1907 Victor High Wheel Electric Runabout. Both are now incredibly rare, but electric propulsion was considered a sufficiently viable proposition in the early years of the 20th century to be able to sustain more than 100 manufacturers of battery-powered cars. The 1906 Pope Waverley has tiller steering and a black leather … Continue reading

NB: I understand well the NAP applied to this topic.  I also understand that just because something is allowable within the NAP doesn’t mean it is conducive toward a civil society, and therefore even conducive toward developing and maintaining a free society.  Expanding freedom is possible in the long run only within a society that understands what is necessary to maintain freedom.  I keep in mind: the less civil and the less respectful the society – while such behavior is perhaps perfectly compatible with the NAP – the more demand for more government. I know some libertarians don’t like to … Continue reading

With the Bilderberg 2016 meeting now humming along at the Taschenbergpalais hotel in Dresden, deep behind closed doors and protected by heavily-armed guards, many have wondered: just how hyperbolic are allegations that the Bilderbergs run the world. To help readers decide, here is a chart laying out the linkages and various connections – financial, political, statutory and otherwise – between the handful of people who comprise the Bilderberg core and the rest of the world. Reprinted with permission from Zero Hedge.

By Dr. Mercola One in 3 reading this likely has a serious overload of a mineral that may be more dangerous to your health than lack of vitamin D. That mineral is iron. Making matters worse, few physicians fully appreciate the danger of excess iron, which Gerry Koenig, former chairman of the Iron Disorders Institute (IDI) and the Hemochromatosis Foundation, discusses in this interview. Koenig’s personal story is a powerful illustration of what can happen to someone with excess iron. Approaching his 50th birthday, he’d lost a lot of weight, worked out, and felt healthy. By age 55, he was … Continue reading

Would Allen Dulles have resorted to assassinating the President of the United States to ensure the achievement of  his ‘Indonesian strategy’? This is the central question addressed by Greg Poulgrain in his extraordinarily important book, The Incubus of Intervention: Conflicting Indonesian Strategies of John F. Kennedy and Allen Dulles. Two days before President John Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963, he had accepted an invitation from Indonesian President Sukarno to visit that country the following spring.  The aim of the visit was to end the conflict (Konfrontasi) between Indonesia and Malaysia and to continue Kennedy’s efforts to support post-colonial Indonesia with economic … Continue reading

Every year Joseph Haydn comes for a few days to the town in which I live when I’m in England. For about five days there are two concerts daily, and for me, it is a great luxury to have a string quartet playing almost on my doorstep. I am fond of Haydn’s chamber music. But there is no disguising the fact that the little festival to celebrate the life and works of Papa Haydn has a definite atmosphere of its own, not so much fin de siècle as fin de-civilisation. Although I am myself a pensioner, I am usually by … Continue reading

By Kit, Off-Guardian.org. Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to “rule the world” if she can get around the “insane” US Constitution With the democratic nomination now officially all but certain (Sanders, quite obviously, never had a chance), the Guardian has thrown their full editorial weight – such as it is – into a pre-emptive defence of Hillary’s record and a hysterical celebration of the “progress” that the election of this particular bank-backed, corporate-bought, war-hawk would (apparently) demonstrate. First, there was Jonathan Freedland’s anaemic plea that Sanders’ voters get in line and stand with Clinton against the “true enemy”, … Continue reading

My own recent experience with prostate cancer may be useful to you in sorting out the options. I am an investment, not a medical, professional. But for that very reason, I have no biases, no axe to grind, and above all, no income that would be put at risk from progress in medicine. We live in a world of government enforced medical monopolies. The general rule is that doctors will recommend whatever they do, and either they or insurance companies will seek government help in thwarting competition from new and often better approaches. Getting up to date and objective advice … Continue reading
