Monsanto’s GMO corn has no improvement on yields or reduced crop damage, report claims
‘No surprise here, but a recent report has found that MON810, a Monsanto-made GM corn, doesn’t have the ability to thwart crop infection. What a shocker. The Franken-food company designed the corn in an effort to “help” crops by making them resistant to corn-boring pests, maintaining that the Bt insecticide in MON810 maize would be […]

One in seven Americans depends on food banks to survive … Food collapse coming
‘Around 46 million Americans now regularly depend on food banks and soup kitchens to keep themselves and their families from going hungry. That figure accounts for one-out-of-seven people in the United States, and the need for these facilities is growing – despite the alleged current ‘economic recovery’ we hear so much about in the media.

Why We Don’t Want Billionaires Like Mark Zuckerberg Imposing Their Idea of Common Good on Us
‘Almost all multibillionaire philanthropists in the United States set up tax-exempt, grant-making, private foundations when they want to make the world a better place. Not Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan. They plan to give away their fortune gradually over the course of their lifetimes, but they’ll do so through a for-profit corporation. There’s a simple […]

Mises Is Winning
As a young man Alexander Hamilton once wrote, “There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.” While it is tragic that Hamilton would grow up to advocate all sorts of government policies contrary to liberty — America would be better off had he read Cantillion — there is a power in these words that has always resonated with me. No man better embodies this heroic nature of liberty than Ludwig von Mises. My favorite example of Mises’s legendary dedication to his principles is his experience during WWI. Even … Continue reading →

The Long Hair of American Indians
Humans have ever styled their hair in a multitude of creative and symbolic ways, and the various cuts, colors and presentations reflected across the ages are nearly unlimited. But does hair serve us in more ways than providing simple warmth and good looks? There are some who believe that hair is directly associated with sensory power and it serves as an extension of our nervous system. Depending upon the time and place on earth in which one lives, the hair on one’s head (or the lack thereof) has had intense significance. Belief systems and folklore have long dictated how hair … Continue reading →

6 Ways To Lower Your Risk of Getting Sick
As many of us are quite aware, with the winter comes an increased risk of illness. And yet, even though we know that the odds of catching a cold or flu during the winter are at their highest, it still doesn’t stop us from partaking in habits that can increase these odds even more. You can catch a cold or a virus through the spread of germs or by catching the influenza virus. Unfortunately, despite the fact that these illnesses are very much preventable, we still carry on with the unhealthy habits that land us in bed for days, stuffed … Continue reading →

Precisely the Wrong Time for a Fed Hike?
Marc Faber, the editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, warned yesterday that the Federal Reserve has raised rates at “precisely the wrong time.” Speaking to CNBC just before the interest rate decision, Faber warned that it’s the wrong time because “the global economy has decelerated very badly, and many countries are already in recession, or going into recession.” The rate hike separated the Fed from other major central banks – The ECB, Bank of England, PBOC, the Bank of Tokyo and elsewhere that are all battling deflation and desperately trying to stimulate some form of sustainable economic growth. … Continue reading →

The Gunslinger’s Gait
The reduced arm swing in Russian President Vladmir Putin’s right arm may be from over a decade of carrying a handgun as a KGB agent. Before rising to power in St.Petersburg city government and later President then Prime Minister and now President once more, Putin spent 17 years as an officer in the KGB, only resigning after the end of the Cold War while at the rank of Lt.Colonel. Among his time in the Soviet spy machine, he worked both espionage and counter-intelligence in the Eastern Europe after receiving extensive training with the 401st KGB school in Okhta, to include … Continue reading →

Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
Welcome to this week’s Survival Buzz as life returns to normal after all of the Black Friday brouhaha yesterday. I woke up to over 100 so-called deals on my inbox Friday morning and as tempted as I was to let my fingers to the shopping, I did show some restraint and stuck to my monthly prepping budget. It did help that I had a few unused gift cards in my desk drawer so I was able to take advantage of some of the free shipping offers being featured this weekend. Anyhow, it is the last Buzz of the month which … Continue reading →

Oligarchs Love Equality
Review of Austrian Economics, Volume 8, No. 2 (Summer 1995). The Alleged Self-Evidence of Equality One of the great glories of mankind is that, in contrast to other species, each individual is unique, and hence irreplaceable; whatever the similarities and common attributes among men, it is their differences that lead us to honor, or celebrate, or deplore the qualities or actions of any particular person.1 It is the diversity, the heterogeneity, of human beings that is one of the most striking attributes of mankind. This fundamental heterogeneity makes all the more curious the pervasive modern ideal of “equality.” For “equality” means … Continue reading →

Should You Beware of Horror Movies?
The “bloodcurdling” horror film has long been an advertising staple in the movie industry, alerting fans to the most gruesome Hollywood releases. And now, thanks to a group of enterprising if tongue-in-cheek researchers, the effect has been proven as a medical reality. A study by doctors and academics at Leiden University in the Netherlands analysed blood samples from volunteers who had just watched either a horror film or a distinctly non-frightening documentary about the French wine industry. It found that those who sat through the horror title had higher levels of the blood-clotting protein factor VIII. The research was published … Continue reading →

No Upside Left
The upside is ephemeral, illusory or wishful thinking; the downside is real and lasting. There’s no upside left–not just in the real economy, but in jobs, politics or policy tweaks. Yes, there will be huge relief rallies in the stock market–relief that the Fed is still omnipotent, that the Fed didn’t destroy the world by withdrawing liquidity, etc., etc., etc.–but in terms of sales and profits, there’s no upside left: an increasingly nervous upper middle class is reining in profligate spending, while everyone below the top 10% is running out of credit cards, student loans, etc. to tap. Whatever surplus … Continue reading →
