It is a commonly accepted view in mainstream archaeology that civilization started in Iraq, in ancient Mesopotamia with the great civilization of Sumeria. However, there is an archaeological discovery at the Al Ubaid archaeological site, where many pre-Sumerian 7,000-year-old artifacts were found, depicting humanoid figures with lizard characteristics. The Ubaidian culture is a prehistoric culture in Mesopotamia that dates between 4000 and 5500 BC. As with the Sumerians, the origins of the Ubaidian people is unknown. They lived in large village settlements in mud-brick houses and they had developed architecture, agriculture and farmed the land using irrigation. The domestic architecture included … Continue reading

We are one week away from the EU referendum, the moment when the British people will be called upon to make a historic decision – will they vote to “Brexit” or to “Bremain”? Both camps have been going at each other with fierce campaigns to tilt the vote in their direction, but according to the latest polls, with the “Leave” camp’s latest surge still within the margin of error, the projected outcome is too close to call. It is a rare moment in history. The British haven’t had their say since they voted to join the European Community back in … Continue reading

Here’s how to make sure you (and your vehicle) can go the distance. 1.

I did a radio interview Thursday on The Kate Dalley Show and we talked about the Orlando article I did here on Lew Rockwell this week. Kate asked the thought-provoking question of what the government might seek to gain or try and do after this event. Well, last night, I  pondered this some more, and I’ve come up with some theories on what we might see next. 1.) GUN CONTROL: I would actually be more surprised if the federal government did not attempt to pass a total ban on certain firearms, specifically the AR-15 and all variants of it. I … Continue reading

Today the Bank of England announced that it would follow the lead of the Federal Reserve and maintain interest rates at .5%. The bank didn’t stop there, however, warning voters that next week’s Brexit referendum posed “the largest immediate risk facing UK financial markets, and possibly also global financial markets. “ Considering the growing public support for the UK’s separation from the EU, the statement can be seen as a last ditch effort by the BoE to push back against the effort and the move has been strongly criticized by British politicians skeptical of the EU. Of course, central bankers using … Continue reading

If you’re like many Americans, you might have a box in your pantry for baking, one in your refrigerator to absorb odors and another under your kitchen sink to use for cleaning.

The US Navy has held meetings to discuss highly controversial technology which could one day allow the government to track the movements of every single citizen in the country, The Sun has learned. A number of naval officers visited the home of an American presidential candidate and “transhumanist” called Zoltan Istvan, who believes human beings should be fitted with technology to boost their brain power or enhance physical attributes. Istvan said they discussed the possibility of implanting humans with chips fitted with global positioning (GPS) technology. We have seen the correspondence between  Istvan and Vice Admiral James Wisecup, who has retired from full-time service to work … Continue reading

Is honesty always the best policy – even when it might offend a friend, seem discouraging to a child or create an awkward moment? Mindy Mackenzie, the author of new book The Courage Solution, believes so – even when a little white may seem like the easier response. ‘It can be very tempting in each circumstance to dodge potential discomfort by telling a little ‘white lie’ or to deflect and not really answer the question, but in most situation, it is far more helpful if you tell the truth,’ says Mindy, who specialises in corporate training on the efficacy of … Continue reading

From “Positano,” a 1953 article by John Steinbeck: About ten years ago a Moslem came to Positano, liked it and settled. For a time he was self-supporting but gradually he ran out of assets and still he stayed. The town supported him and took care of him. Just as the mayor was their only Communist, this was their only Moslem. They felt that he belonged to them. Finally he died and his only request was that he might be buried with his feet toward Mecca. And this, so Positano thought, was done. Four years later some curious meddler made a … Continue reading

Sometimes I read stuff and think, this has to be satire. Over the past few years, I can’t believe how many articles I’ve prefaced with, “I know it seems like satire, but it’s not.” Today is no different. If you need more reasons to homeschool your kids (and you’re not doing so already) then read on. We all know that the education system has been on the decline for years. Folks aren’t as worried about academic achievements as they are the feelings of the children, creating a crybaby culture that gives everyone a trophy just for showing up. Schools are indoctrination … Continue reading
