1. A Private City in Norway Has Broken Ground! Liberstad is being built. So many of these projects never get off the ground. This one is happening. There is a long way to go, but the initial hurdle has been passed. The land was purchased in June and is currently in development creating a private “anarchist” community. It is being funded by presale of cabins and building sites. 2. By 2020 There Will Be a Floating City Off the Coast of French Polynesia. The Seasteading Institute is working with the government of French Polynesia for a mutually beneficial Floating City Project. The city … Continue reading →

As a former soldier and war correspondent, I abhor demonstrations of flag-waving, militarism and nationalism. That great American, Benjamin Franklin, put it perfectly:  ‘no good war, no bad peace.’ But I must admit that my heart does beat faster when I hear the rousing strains of France’s glorious national anthem, ‘La Marseillaise.’  One must be almost dead not to respond to the hymn, first known in 1775 as ‘the war song of the army of the Rhine’ and then the marching song of volunteers from Marseille. Allons! Enfants de la Patrie!      Forward! Sons of France, Le jour de gloire est … Continue reading →

GRIFFIN INTERNET SYNDICATE, OCTOBER 25, 2001 – Back in the 1930s, when white men were preparing for another round of mutual slaughter, few of them paid any attention to the Muslim world. They assumed it to be a backward region that history had long since passed by. One man saw it differently. The great Catholic polemicist Hilaire Belloc, an Englishman of French ancestry, remembered Islam’s past and predicted, in his book The Great Heresies, that it would one day challenge the West again. As late as 1683 its armies had threatened to conquer Europe, penetrating all the way to Vienna; Belloc believed that … Continue reading →

Auto thefts are on the rise for a second year according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau and many owners have only themselves to blame. They’re practically handing thieves the keys by leaving them in their unlocked car. Here’s the NICB’s list of which cars were the hottest snatches for crooks for 2016. Tips for how to avoid being the next victim of auto theft are also below. The top two “Hot Wheels” stolen last year are both older generation model year Hondas – ones without today’s anti-theft technology. The Accord comes in first with 50,427 and the Civic second with 49,547 stolen, … Continue reading →

Scott Hamann’s anti-Trump rant, I believe, reveals not only his own beliefs and feelings but also those of many other people. I believe that what he expressed has quite wide currency because for many weeks now there has been a steady stream of similar kinds of extreme and outrageous remarks that have been made public. Many of them are divorced from reality. Take Nancy Pelosi: “California Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi said at her weekly news conference Thursday that President Donald Trump was turning his back on children and dishonoring God for withdrawing the United States from the Paris climate agreement.” … Continue reading →

Wow…what an eye opener. You would think that self-defense is a no-brainer and a slam dunk. But be very aware there’s trouble out there if you defend your life and hurt or kill the bad guy. It’s unbelievable how their rights outweigh those of law abiding citizens. It’s amazing how many Pro Gun Control politicians and law enforcement people despise the law abiding concealed carry gun lover and give the bad guys, the killers, the rapists and robbers the benefit of the doubt and cut them all the slack while prosecuting those with better sense and concern for the law. … Continue reading →

Behind the sensational Western media coverage now linking the US president’s son to alleged Russian collusion in the American election, the real euphoria stems from relief that, at last, some «evidence» has been found. For more than seven months now, the US corporate media have been running unrelenting claims that somehow Donald J Trump colluded with Russian state-sponsored hackers to get elected over his Democrat rival Hillary Clinton. The media campaign has been dismissed as a witch hunt by Trump. Perhaps more sinisterly, US-Russia relations have also become deeply toxic due to the allegations. Not even a friendly meeting between … Continue reading →

Sometimes, during the summers, I like to stay up late.  When not reading or writing, I will usually resort to watching a series on television.  I enjoy series because the character development and storylines are far more in-depth than what is viewed in a mere two-hour movie; although I do watch them as well.  On HBO, I have experienced The Sopranos, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, Deadwood, True Blood, and a few others.  On AMC, it was Breaking Bad and I still watch The Walking Dead. What I like about Netflix, however, is the ability to access a virtual cornucopia of diverse programming on any device; at home, on … Continue reading →

The Populist Explosion: How the Great Recession Transformed American and European Politics by John B. Judis Columbia Global Reports, 2016 Donald Trump’s victory in the November 2016 election for president of the United States astonished the world. Though he had never held political office, he won the Republican nomination. The leading polls predicted his loss to Hillary Clinton in the general election, but he prevailed. How was this possible? John Judis’s book was written before Trump’s ultimate triumph, but it offers an important account of the reasons for Trump’s rise to prominence. Unfortunately, this account rests on bad economics. Judis … Continue reading →

A massive eruption of the ‘Mountain of God’ volcano in Tanzania is imminent – and it could wipe out key sites in human history, scientists have warned. Also known as Ol Doinyo Lengai, the 7,650ft (2,331m) volcano is less than 70 miles away from where footprints left by our ancestors 3.6 million years ago have been discovered. And it is also close to a spot where 400 human footprints from 19,000 years ago have been found by scientists. Researchers studying the tremors of the volcano have now warned it may erupt ‘any second’, destroying the invaluable sites forever. The Ol … Continue reading →

When you are feeling sluggish and slow what do you do? Many people turn to caffeine in the form of teas, coffees, and energy drinks. These methods may provide temporary relief, but if you feel tired because of a B-12 deficiency, caffeine won’t solve the underlying problem. Lack of energy due to a B-12 deficiency is more common than you think. Nearly 40% of Americans are deficient in vitamin B-12.[1] Since this B vitamin takes part in the production of red blood cells, nerve sheaths, and DNA, you’ll benefit from more than just improved energy levels.[2] Many people have returned their B-12 levels … Continue reading →
