The facts just don’t add up. US wages are falling, trade deficit is at 10 year high, debt is surging so are stocks and the US Government has again managed to publish a number of contradicting employment figures that make no sense whatsoever. A CONFIDENT BUT UNEMPLOYED CONSUMER US Consumer Sentiment is the highest in 13 years. At the same time US October Household Employment Survey dropped 484,000 and the Labour Force shrank by 765,000. But due to manipulation of the figures, October payroll increased by 261,000 and the Unemployment Rate declined to 4.0% from 4.2%. The Labour Participation Rate … Continue reading →

Here we go again. In this column on October 12, I wrote: The next shooting (and there will be another one) will be worse than Las Vegas. They will not stop until America is disarmed OR until the American people awaken to what is happening and demand that the light of truth start shining on the dark forces behind these atrocities. The church shooting in Texas is the first installment of my prediction above. But it certainly will not be the last. The narrative is always the same: a lone gunman opens fire upon a crowd of helpless, defenseless people, … Continue reading →

A deputy sheriff pays a visit to a small business. He confronts the owner. DS: I see you got a “help wanted” sign in your window. Owner: That is correct. DS: How much is the starting wage? Owner: The federal minimum wage. DS: We got a local minimum wage of $15 an hour. Time to buy old US gold coins Owner: I cannot afford that much. DS: That don’t cut it with me, boy. The city government says you got to pay a living wage. Owner: I already do. All of my employees are alive. DS: You trying to make … Continue reading →

From a young age we’re taught that eating three meals a day, plus snacks, is healthy and necessary for the human body to function normally, and this rhetoric still dominates North American food guides today. Mark Mattson, the Current Chief of the Laboratory of Neuroscience at the National Institute on Aging, once asked: Why is it that the normal diet is three meals a day plus snacks? . . . There are a lot of pressures to have that eating pattern, there’s a lot of money involved. The food industry – are they going to make money from skipping breakfast like … Continue reading →

The day after his “Silent Majority” speech on Nov. 3, 1969, calling on Americans to stand with him for peace with honor in Vietnam, Richard Nixon’s GOP captured the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey. By December, Nixon had reached 68 percent approval in the Gallup Poll, though, a year earlier, he had won but 43 percent of the vote. Contrast Nixon’s numbers with President Trump’s. Where Trump won 46 percent of the vote against Hillary Clinton, his approval rating is now nearly 10 points below that. He has less support today than on the day he was elected, or … Continue reading →

What’s going on in Saudi Arabia?  Over 200 bigwigs detained and billions of ‘illegal profits’ of some $800 billion confiscated. The kingdom is in an uproar.  The Saudi regime of King Salman and his ambitious 32-year old son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,  claim it was all part of an ‘anti-corruption’ drive that has Washington’s full backing. Utter nonsense.  I’ve done business in Saudi Arabia since 1976 and can attest that the entire kingdom with its thousands of pampered princes and princesses is one vast swamp of corruption.  In Saudi, the entire nation and its vast oil revenues are considered … Continue reading →
