By The Siberian Times reporter Locals have heard ‘booms from the underworld’ in a giant ravine but now scientists say it holds secrets of the planet’s past. Many Yakutian people are said to be scared to approach the Batagaika Crater – also known as the Batagaika Megaslump: believing in the upper, middle and under worlds, they see this as a doorway to the last of these. The fearsome noises are probably just the thuds of falling soil at a landmark that is a one-kilometre-long gash up to 100 metres (328 feet) deep in the Siberian taiga. Batagaika started to form in … Continue reading →

On May 19, I posted an article that I wrote in 1980. It was on how to defend private education against the state. You can read it here. Lew Rockwell ran it on May 23. Early in the morning on May 23, I received a letter from a stranger. Its tone was typical of a purist. It seems that I have sold out to the state. I never receive such letters from published authors or experts in the field. But I have been receiving them for about 50 years from strangers with no background. My problem is this: I am … Continue reading →

I know it isn’t just me. Every prepper I know loves a good disaster flick.  Heck, it doesn’t even have to be that good for some of us to watch them.  We just enjoy sitting back and watching a fictional disaster unfold so that we can strategize how we would handle it, mock the hero for his or her poor decisions (you know, those dumb moves that a prepper would never make), and feel absolutely justified with regard to our lifestyle choices.  A movie is like a prepper version of a sporting event, where we can cheer, jeer, and scheme our ways … Continue reading →

To declare war means to state one’s intentions to attack another until the death or surrender of one or both participants. Some wars, like World War I, are the result of foreign entanglements that spin out of control. On the eve of the bloodshed, every side stands and watches thirstily for someone else to make the first move so that they’ll have an excuse to punch the other side in the mouth. In this incarnation of war, each tribe has their own side that waits anxiously to sink their bombs into each other’s civilian populations. We would all agree that … Continue reading →

Whether it’s an upcoming wedding, graduation, or simply another day at the office, a pair of shiny shoes can set you apart as a man who cares about the details. Not only does shining your shoes look good, it is a necessary part of properly caring for and maintaining a nice pair of leather shoes or boots. The polish itself helps moisturize and waterproof the leather, lengthening the lifespan of your shoes. And the buffing and shining ensures a clean, pulled-together look no matter the occasion. This article provides the complete multimedia guide to shining your shoes. There are a number … Continue reading →

The right to vote I think the “right” to vote (in government elections) should be taken away from women. It should be taken away from men too. (The NYTimes will undoubtedly quote me only on the first of these two preceding sentences).  We should only vote on occasions in which we have all agreed to be bound by the decision of the majority. The next major U.S. election will take place on November 2016. But, have we all agreed to be bound by its results? Hardly. (Anyone who doubts this should read Lysander Spooner’s “No Treason”). In sharp contrast when … Continue reading →

In addition to this being Memorial Day, the month of May is Military Appreciation Month. This follows Month of the Military Child in April. Upcoming in November is Month of the Military Family. I suppose that soon enough every month will be designed something related to the military. I didn’t celebrate Military Appreciation Month. I didn’t read President Obama’s proclamation. I didn’t thank any soldiers for their service. I didn’t knowingly shake the hand of anyone in the military. I didn’t visit anyone in a VA hospital. I didn’t visit a war monument or memorial. I didn’t visit a military … Continue reading →

Beggar, thief, or trader? The choices are narrowing. Guest Post by Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic There are three ways for a person to obtain something of value from another person: receive it as a donation, steal it by force or fraud, or exchange for it. It’s not much of an oversimplification to say that the advance of civilization has hinged on its movement from the first two methods to the third. The right to exchange, and the right to promise as part of a future exchange—the right to contract—are now taken for granted, but those rights are delicate … Continue reading →

Many Americans will be firing up the grill over the next few days in honor of Memorial Day weekend. This age-old human tradition of cooking meat with fire is said to have started by our ancestors one million years ago. What was once done with twigs, has evolved into a science that requires the perfect temperature, right humidity, and different cooking techniques in order to cook up a juicy piece of meat. The first discovery of using fire to cook meat was unearthed in 2012. Archaeologists discovered evidence of burned bones and plant ash inside Wonderwreck Cave in South Africa, … Continue reading →

Our interview with Jesse Hughes from Eagles of Death Metal blew up the Internet this week. I’ve appeared on Greg Gutfeld’s show as well as Red Eye, Dana, The Buck Sexton Show, and even Alex Jones’ Infowars. Virtually every major news source has written about it and the American press seems to get it right the most. The New York Post called the PC police “cowards” and asked, “who wants to listen only to music that has been OK’d by a bunch of spineless liberals and their culture of censorship?” At the other end of the spectrum, we have U.K.’s … Continue reading →
