Long ago in Havana,  my mother and father would take me to the  famed “Floridita” bar to join a burly, white-bearded man and drink daiquiris. He gave me his book, A Farewell to Arms, autographed to “Eric, from his friend Ernest Hemingway. Havana, 1953” Those were the old days in Cuba, even before Fidel Castro. That’s how far back I go on this lovely island on the Spanish Main. I’ve twice been in battle in the west African state of Angola against Cuban troops that had been sent by Fidel Castro to fight white South African forces. After visiting Cuba … Continue reading →

With Batman vs. Superman hitting theaters, movie goers will be treated to Zack Snyder’s new take on the legendary caped crusader. Snyder, who reported last week that he’s currently working on a new adaptation of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead, has often talked about drawing inspiration from Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns when coming up with the direction for the sequel to his Superman origin story, Man of Steel. While The Dark Knight Returns is widely considered to be one of the most iconic books in the character’s fabled history, there is another Batman story I’d rather see on the … Continue reading →

On Monday, agents from L.A. County’s Department of Children and Family Services removed 6-year-old Lexi from her family of four years because she’s 1.6% American Indian. Foster-care parents the Pages were told of the decision on Friday night and before they could contest it, authorities ripped the child from her home and gave her to a family in Utah. The video footage of this is hard to watch. Her siblings Maddie, Zoey, and Caleb are hysterical and so is Lexi. I can’t look at it without bawling like an infant. I was reminded of a similar tearjerker in Ann Coulter’s … Continue reading →

I WAS AFRAID OF THIS. The minute I learned of the double bombing at the Brussels airport check-in lobby earlier today, I knew how the conversation would go. Sure enough, even before the morning was out, we were hearing calls for tighter security in airports. First, a little history. Although airplanes themselves are historically the choicest target, attacks inside terminals are nothing new. For instance: In 1972, the Japanese Red Army killed 26 people in the arrivals lounge at Israel’s Lod Airport (today’s Ben Gurion International). In 1985, the Abu Nidal group killed 20 in a pair of coordinated ticket … Continue reading →

Louis James, the editor of International Speculator, sat down with Doug Casey to discuss the ongoing “War on Cash.” Doug reveals what people looking to protect their money should do. As the War on Cash has gone into overdrive lately, this is a timely discussion that you’ll find below. Louis James: There have been a lot of government moves recently, making it harder for people to do business in cash. What do you think, are the days of anonymous paper money numbered? Doug Casey: It’s funny. First, there was a war on gold. Now, there is definitely a war on cash. … Continue reading →

The Budwig Protocol is our most recommended anti-cancer therapy; although other effective alternatives exist. We covered the best of them in detail within our documentary, The Cancer Report. What follows is a brief listing of the natural anti-cancer therapies which we consider being the safest and most effective. Essiac tea Vitamin B-17 (laetrile) Oxygen/ozone therapy possibly including intravenous hydrogen peroxide High-dose vitamin C therapy The Hoxsey Regimen Gerson Protocol Most cancer patients react with panic upon learning of their diagnosis. This panicked reaction enables doctors to convince patients to do almost anything, including poisoning themselves with radiation. After years of … Continue reading →

[Classic: 4/5/2007] — It’s nearly Easter, and the atheists, God bless them, are writing bestselling books to prove the good Lord’s nonexistence. Truly, they have their reward. One of the most famous of them, a British professor named Richard Dawkins, says atheists are generally smarter than Christians. I wouldn’t doubt it. After all, St. Paul says God has chosen the foolish people of this world to confound the wise. I don’t know how many times some simple soul has put me to shame when I thought I was being clever. Oops! Maybe polished professors never have this experience. Of course, … Continue reading →

There is a way out. Of half a dozen (or more) air bags and seat belt buzzers and back-up cameras and narc-you-out black boxes and automatic braking (soon to be a mandatory “feature” on all new cars). Just don’t buy a car.    Buy a “motorcycle” that just happens to be a car… or close enough to be serviceable as one. Like the Polaris Slingshot, for instance. Technically – legally – it is a motorcycle. But it seats two, side-by-side. You do not ride it, as you would a bike. You drive it. Just like a car. But without all the … Continue reading →

All  the polls and Media hacks assume absolutely that our economic strangling of nations like Iraq and our invasions and annihilates of them never lead fo acts of self-defense and revenge on their part. IT’S ABSOLUTELY INSANE. THEY KEEP ATTACKING MUSLIMS MORE AND MORE IN VASTLY MURDEROUS WAYS AND THEY KEEP BEING SHOCKED THAT A FEW MUSLIMS COUNTERATTACK THEM AND US, SO THEY  DO MORE OF THE SAME AND WE GET A FEW MORE DESPERATE ATTACKS BY SUICIDE BOMBERS. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INSANE THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN, BUT THEY KEEP PRETENDING THAT ONLY TOTALLY EVIL AND INSANE … Continue reading →
