The Implosion of the House of Saud

Have you put some thought into what would happen if your world went dark for a week?  I mean really thought about it, starting with day one and going out a week, a month or even longer? I don’t know about you, but when I first started prepping, I heeded the warnings from NASA and considered the possibility of an EMP caused by solar flares, a coronal mass ejection, or even a meteor strike.  These days, the concern is as much for a human-induced attack on the grid as it is a natural phenomenon. It would be an understatement to … Continue reading →

Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an article on rising student loan default and delinquency rates on the same day Ryan McMaken posted about rising tuition and fees at universities across the country. The statistics are harrowing. Per the Education Department and the New York Fed, 43 percent of federal student loans are in postponement, delinquency, or default. And, while credit card and mortgage debt have fallen since the peak of the housing boom, student and auto loans have soared. Student loan delinquency rates have surpassed the 2010 peak mortgage delinquency rate of the housing bubble and credit card … Continue reading →

“Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors, and U.S. senators and congress members.” – Former President Jimmy Carter Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on … Continue reading →

Compelling evidence is mounting daily of egregious war crimes committed by Azerbaijan’s military in the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (NK). Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev launched an unprovoked large-scale military offensive during the early morning hours of April 2nd attempting to break through the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army’s contact line in attacks coming from three separate directions using mortars, rocket launchers, tanks, armored personnel carriers, surveillance and kamikaze drones and helicopters. Heavy Azeri shelling of Armenian residential areas destroyed civilian homes in several villages in both the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh as well as the Republic of Armenia. In NK’s Martuni region a 12-year … Continue reading →

Have you ever set (or paid to have someone else set) point gap? The answer dates you. If the answer is yes, then – probably – you’re old enough to buy beer. Back in the ‘80s. Otherwise, you probably have no idea what “points”  – in the mechanical sense – are. Much less how (and why) “gap” is an adjustment that must be made every now and then. If you happen to have a car that’s at least 40 years old… . Your vintage may be a bit more recent if you remember what the first thing you needed to do in the … Continue reading →

The great, long-awaited counterattack against ISIS has finally begun. The offensive that spans Syria and western Iraq is targeting the ISIS-held cities of Raqqa and Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. For a variety of reasons, the much ballyhooed “final offensive” against ISIS is moving with all the speed of a medieval army of drunken foot soldiers and all the audacity of a lady’s garden party. As a former soldier and war correspondent, I find the spectacle both pathetic and weird.  Back in my army days, our tough sergeants used to call such behavior “lilly-dipping.” There’s no risk that this pathetic campaign … Continue reading →

You’ve found the hidden panda and sussed out the image contained in a seemingly solid red dot, but now there’s a new head-scratching riddle sweeping the internet. Tim Urban and Andrew Finn of the website butwaitwhy.com have created a fiendishly difficult puzzle based around three jelly beans. The premise of the puzzle is that you have to choose to eat one of three jelly beans laid out on a stump, two of which are poisonous. ‘Two of the jelly beans on the stump are poisonous—you’ll die within 30 seconds of eating either one of them,’ the riddle explains. ‘But one … Continue reading →

Woman sues P&G, says she was fired for being pregnant, looking ‘not perfect’

By Dr. Mercola When you’re in the midst of your daily grind — to-do lists, work deadlines, cooking, cleaning, children’s activities and the like — you’re probably not thinking about what you could do to feel happier. There’s no time for that, and your mind is probably occupied with more important, or at least more pressing, matters. But if you do stop to think about it, few things are more important than happiness. If you’re living day to day simply by going through the motions, you’re missing out on living — you’re missing out on life. The good news is that … Continue reading →

“Equal pay for equal work should be a fundamental principle of our economy,” bellowed President Obama on Tuesday while commemorating Equal Pay Day. “It’s the idea that whether you’re a high school teacher, a business executive, or a professional soccer player or tennis player, your work should be equally valued and rewarded, whether you are a man or a woman.” Somebody get this guy an editor. He could do with a researcher, too if the soccer mention was a shout-out to the complaint the U.S. women’s soccer players brought to the Equal Employment Commission. They have had enough of getting … Continue reading →

The  U.S. is a Failed Empire in free fall financially, economically and politically at home and around the world, very similar to the U.K  Global Empire a century and more ago. The U.S. is  using stupid war drums, political pronuncio BS and so on in its Monopoly Media to deceive its captive ignoramuses into believing that the U.S. Global Empire is powerful and growing at no risk to the captives. China and Russia and their growing Global Alliance are arming themselves to fend off any last-ditch desperate attacks by  the dying U.S. Giant. They are also reordering their vast societies … Continue reading →
