By Dr. Mercola There are plenty of medical practitioners who will repeat that eating “too much salt” will increase your likelihood of developing high blood pressure. There’s a lot of new information on that from a growing number of scientists, and it’s a salty debate; in fact, Dr. Sean C. Lucan of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine refuted the premise behind then-New York City health czar, Dr. Thomas Farley’s “war on salt” campaign as far back as 2010, calling it “misguided” and asserting: “We do not know that reducing mean population sodium intake would decrease the risk of cardiovascular … Continue reading →

Global Research has received from Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia (1981-2003) an important message, addressed to Muslims in Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States and Yemen. This message, however, is also addressed to the U.S. and its indefectible British ally which have relentlessly supported Saudi Arabia’s war against the people of Yemen, a criminal act tantamount to  genocide under international law. The U.S. has been instrumental in supporting the naval blockade on the delivery of food and medicine to Yemen’s starving children. In turn, the corporate media has payed lip service to the inaction of  Western governments and their self-proclaimed “international community”.  Both … Continue reading →

People living in homes with spotty Wi-Fi may feel tempted to throw out their routers, switch providers, or even move. But researchers at Dartmouth College have discovered a more practical alternative that costs less than a month of internet. As EurekAlert reports, a sheet of metal and plastic can vastly improve the reach of a home’s Wi-Fi coverage. The 3D-printed device is inspired by an even cheaper home hack that’s been around for a while: By placing an aluminum can behind their router, some people claim they can reflect wireless signals away from walls, furniture, and other obstructions. In place of a can, … Continue reading →

The Libertarian Forum, edited by Murray N. Rothbard; May 15, 1969. The recent secessionist referendum in Catalunya brought some strong negative reactions from several corners of the libertarian community.  The reasons to be against such a referendum varied, from the idea that any group action is, inherently, not libertarian to the idea that secession is only to be supported by libertarians if the seceding entity is, in fact, libertarian. I came out on the other side – not only was the referendum in Catalunya worthy of libertarian support, every move toward decentralization is worthy of libertarian support, regardless of the politics of the seceding … Continue reading →

Since the beginning of the war against Syria in 2011, Russia has been supporting this nation against what it considers to be an exterior aggression. While the Western Press explains this behaviour as a case of solidarity between dictatorships, Thierry Meyssan brings to light its real historical motives. He notes that the victory, which also belongs to Moscow, opens a new period for Orthodox culture in Europe. In order to build a modern Russia, Tsarina Catherine II decided to make its capital, Saint Petersburg, the world’s leading cultural centre. She rooted her country in its basic cultural foundations of Orthodox … Continue reading →

In September 2017, a mainstream publisher, Pegasus Books, released a massive volume on Yale’s secret societies entitled “Skulls and Keys: The Hidden History of Yale’s Secret Societies.” Written by David Alan Richards, one of America’s top real estate attorneys, it is the most comprehensive work yet written on Yale’s senior secret societies. With 821 pages and 1135 footnotes, it is also the most detailed work on the subject available. The book is particularly significant because David Alan Richards is a member of Skull and Bones. Plus, Richards, according to the New York Times, personally tapped George W. Bush for Skull and Bones.Richards does not mention … Continue reading →

In August, when President Donald Trump’s lawyers persuaded him to refrain from attacking independent counsel Robert Mueller publicly — he had many times called Mueller’s investigation a “witch hunt” — they also told him that the investigation was not aimed at him and not to worry because it would be over by Thanksgiving. These are the same lawyers who revealed a fissure in the strategy of the president’s legal team. On one side are presidential lawyers who want to cooperate fully with Mueller because they are convinced that the president has nothing to fear from the public revelation of truthful … Continue reading →

My son had an attack of appendicitis late Saturday night.  I knew that the Obamacare inflated prices for surgery in the U.S. would be ridiculous and that the service would likely be impersonal, involve long waits, and be nerve-wracking.  I have friends in the medical field so I inquired just for grins.  The price for the latest routine appendectomy in my area was, my jaw dropped, $43,000.  I read on-line that the average cost for an appendectomy in the U.S. is $33,000.   I am not near some of the great direct-pay medical facilities in the U.S. like the Surgery Center … Continue reading →

“When [the states] entered into the Union of 1789, it was with the undeniable recognition of the power of the people to resume the authority delegated for the purposes of that government, whenever in their opinion, its functions were perverted and its ends defeated . . . the sovereign States here represented have seceded from that Union, and it is a gross abuse of language to denominate the act rebellion or revolution.” –Jefferson Davis, First Inaugural Address, Montgomery, Alabama, February 1861. “That . . . the Union is perpetual [is] confirmed by the history of the Union itself.  The Union … Continue reading →
