This documentary was produced in 2007-8. The information that it presents is somewhat better known today, but not much. Its title: “Demographic Winter.” The humanist Left despises this documentary. Why? Because it lays a tombstone on Paul Ehrlich’s preposterous book, The Population Bomb (1968). Let us be reasonable about this. Population implosion is inevitable. Those who predict a population implosion are correct. But they usually are afraid of this implosion. I am not. Here is the inescapable reality of population growth: it cannot continue indefinitely. Why not? Because of this word: “finite,” as in “indefinite.” Nothing in a finite universe … Continue reading →

We hope you keep your eyes healthy and … Continue reading →

[The Daily Bell, exclusive interview, March 27, 2011.] DAILY BELL: Please answer these questions as our readers were not already aware of your fine work and considered opinions. Let’s jump right in. Why is democracy “The God That Failed?” DR. HANS-HERMANN HOPPE: The traditional, premodern state form is that of a (absolute) monarchy. The democratic movement was directed against kings and the classes of hereditary nobles. Monarchy was criticized as being incompatible with the basic principle of “equality before the law.” It rested on privilege and was unfair and exploitative. Democracy was supposed to be the way out. In opening … Continue reading →

With an estimated 250,000 to 600,000 guns stolen per year in the U.S., gun storage has always been one of the basic tenants to firearm ownership. However, modern day gun owners don’t want to just store or protect their guns in any old box. Within the past few years a new trend in gun storage has emerged, providing quick access to weapons while offering more style than traditional gun safes. Though there are a range of small, ma-and-pa shops serving up hidden compartment, home defense furniture, and decor, Tactical Walls’ products were among the first to go mainstream. Touting the ability to safely … Continue reading →

One of the cornerstones of being prepared is to identify items that multitask and to embrace their use during normal times.  Doing so not only saves money but also saves storage space and eliminates having to choose which product or item to use for what. A good example is the common Mason jar.  Another is the flour sack dishtowel. I was chatting with Backdoor Survival reader, Susan Perry, about this very same thing when she offered to share her top twenty-five uses for flour sack towels.  How cool is that? I grew up around flour sack dishtowels.  I remember how … Continue reading →

You won’t just be receiving a call from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) moving forward, but also from debt collectors. The tax collection agency has contracted out the task of pursuing unpaid taxes. The IRS announced earlier this month that it has hired four debt collection agencies to get their hands on outstanding payments from taxpayers. With the increasing backlog of unpaid taxes, the IRS employed private debt collection firms to contact taxpayers who still haven’t paid previous years’ taxes. As part of the new debt collection program, a few hundred taxpayers will be receiving phone calls and mailings. In … Continue reading →

The Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Friday the 14th, that 75 cities will be designated cashless/less-cash townships, with an overwhelming 56 of them being in Gujarat. Modi is determined to bring India into the 21st century. He is being cheered behind the curtain and every government is keenly watching the results. The townships were actually selected on the basis of a recommendation by none other than Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) furthering the G20 agenda to stamp out tax evasion worldwide. We should be paying close attention to this effort for it is really a global effort to desperately try to … Continue reading →

The realized truth of modern history is crystal clear. Washington had no business intervening in a quarrel between two no-count wanna be dictators (Syngman Rhee and Kim il Sung) on the Korean peninsula in June 1950, and surely has no business still stationing 29,000 American soldiers there 67 years latter. Yet owing to the institutionalized albatross of that mis-vectored history, the world is now much closer to the brink of nuclear war than at any time since the dark days of the early cold war. And the Donald has become just the latest political tourist in the Oval Office to … Continue reading →

Review of Gordon L. Heath, ed., American Churches and the First World War (Pickwick Publications, 2016), x + 213 pgs., paperback. It is fitting that American Churches and the First World War was recently published since it has now been 100 years since the United States foolishly entered World War I in total disregard of the warnings of the Founding Fathers to stay out of European wars.  As the author of War, Christianity, and the State: Essays on the Follies of Christian Militarism, the subject matter of this book is near and dear to my heart. Yet, it is generally … Continue reading →

It must be spring. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming, temperatures are rising, and gas prices are going up. All are telltale signs of summer being just around the corner. In some parts of the country, like Los Angeles, gas prices are averaging $3.03 per gallon, passing the $3 mark much quicker than even last year. The current national average is $2.40 per gallon, up from $2.06 at the same time last year. When gas prices escalate, people always start to ask the question, do I REALLY have to put premium fuel in my car? It is a legitimate question, especially … Continue reading →

Audit the Fed recently took a step closer to becoming law, when it was favorably reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. This means the House could vote on the bill at any time. The bill passed by voice vote without any objections, although Fed defenders did launch hysterical attacks on the bill during the debate as well as at a hearing on the bill the previous week. One representative claimed that auditing the Fed would result in rising interest rates, a stock market crash, a decline in the dollar’s value, and a complete loss of confidence … Continue reading →
