A CONFIDENTIAL, 120-PAGE catalogue of spy equipment, originating from British defence firm Cobham and circulated to U.S. law enforcement, touts gear that can intercept wireless calls and text messages, locate people via their mobile phones, and jam cellular communications in a particular area. The catalogue was obtained by The Intercept as part of a large trove of documents originating within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, where spokesperson Molly Best confirmed Cobham wares have been purchased but did not provide further information. The document provides a rare look at the wide range of electronic surveillance tactics used by police and militaries in the U.S. and abroad, offering equipment ranging from black boxes … Continue reading →

By Dr. Mercola There’s emerging scientific evidence that a high-fat, low-net carb, moderate protein diet is an ideal diet for most people. However, compliance tends to be low for a number of reasons. Discussing this is Randy Evans, who has a master’s degree in nutrition and works with Dr. Jeanne Drisko at the University of Kansas Integrative Medical Center. I recently interviewed Drisko on her clinical use of nutritional ketosis. Evans grw up on a dairy farm in Southern Iowa at a time when agriculture was largely still organic. “I actually grew up eating mostly real whole foods,” he says, … Continue reading →

If there’s one core belief that has guided and inspired me every step of the way, it is this. The United States is an exceptional nation. –        Hillary Clinton, from her recent speech at the American Legion’s national convention in Cincinnati. A lie, falsehood, or misrepresentation to be found in every sentence. And it’s not just that we have the greatest military or that our economy is larger than any on Earth. Well, I will give her that one.  It is true that the US has the largest economy when measured by GDP.  That’s about it…. The United States certainly … Continue reading →

There are several movies I will watch every time they are aired on one of my generally useless 600 cable channels. They all have the same thing in common – a compelling character portrayal which keeps you riveted and mesmerised by how the protagonist deals with adversity and circumstances beyond their control. The movies I can’t resist include:The Godfather I & II, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption,Apocalypse Now, and Patton. Another captivating movie, which didn’t do well at the box office, is Cinderella Man. The portrayal of Depression-era heavyweight boxing champion James J. Braddock by Russell Crowe is inspirational, with … Continue reading →

When an animal catches rabies, in the end, stages, it manifests bizarre, aggressive behaviour. A normally shy racoon will charge a human, growling and frothing at the mouth. There is only one treatment for a rabid racoon. How about humans afflicted with the disease called “environmentalism”? It is a form of rabies – and much more dangerous. California Assemblywoman Autumn Burke, for instance. This “environmentalist” (what’s the credential, exactly?) is pushing legislation that would require 15 percent of all new cars sold in California be “emissions free” by the model year 2025. This means electric cars, as only electric cars qualify … Continue reading →

Over the summer of 2016, certain websites forecasted a string of protests around the United States. As it turned out, these protests often lead to riots. In most cases, there is no warning for such events, but this time, we were paying attention to the news and knew where and when many of these protests would take place. I was chatting with 3 of my friends, also Survival Moms, and we reviewed our situations. Not knowing if any of these protests would turn violent, we needed a guide for preparing for civil unrest. Each of us came up with a … Continue reading →

Nick Giambruno: Doug, I know you’ve been thinking about how the Greater Depression will unfold. It’s no secret the government has created the biggest credit bubble in history through endless money printing—euphemistically called QE—and now “NIRP” (negative interest rates). But I understand you’ve had a different “bubble” on your mind lately… Doug Casey: Yes. I’ve been thinking about the gigantic bubble in military spending in the U.S. And how it’s one of the worst things that can happen, and at the absolute worst time. The U.S. Government is bankrupt, we’re about to go into the trailing edge of a monumental economic hurricane, … Continue reading →

Since Hillary Clinton made her speech regarding the so-called “alt-right,” there has been much effort on the part of some media observers to define this enigmatic phenomenon. Some, however, like “conservative” pundit Jonah Goldberg, aren’t so curious.  At bottom, Goldberg recently assured radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt, the “alt-right” is nothing more or less than but another manifestation of “racism.” The “alt-right” consists of people who, in spite of whatever other differences they may have, “agree…that white culture is inherently superior” and that there should be “no race mixing with the lower brown people.” Both Hewitt and Goldberg insist … Continue reading →

This is a really good presentation. He recommends apprenticeship. So do I. He recommends learning a skill. So do I. He recommends community colleges because the teaching is better. So do I. He does not recommend online accredited schools for under $15,000. He warns about the Ph.D. glut. I knew this was coming in 1966. I knew it would hit in 1969. I was warned by the president of the University of California, Clark Kerr. He knew. This is old information. But it never gets out. Parents just refuse to hear it. Physical Gold & Silver in your IRA.

Originally appeared at Orthodox England This article gives an excellent account of the revisionist view of the story of Rasputin, which is now widely accepted in Russia.  It is 180 degrees different from what is generally known about him in the west.   Instead of being a “mad monk”, evil, and debauched, he is thought to have been a good, holy man, a Russian hero who was practically single-handedly saving the country and the monarchy, and causing the evil British government to assassinate him, with disastrous results for Russia. An excellent Russian 7 hour TV series with this interpretation was … Continue reading →

The Free Market 9, no. 12 (December 1991) Labor unions are flexing their muscles again. Last year, a strike against the New York Daily News succeeded in inflicting such losses upon the company that it was forced to sell cheap to British tycoon Robert Maxwell, who was willing to accept union terms. Earlier, the bus drivers’ union struck Greyhound and managed to win a long and bloody strike. How were the unions able to win these strikes, even though unions have been declining in numbers and popularity since the end of World War II? The answer is simple: in both … Continue reading →
