Those of us advancing in years may despair that we are becoming ever more easily distracted. But passing one’s 50th birthday often triggers a burst of creativity unparalleled in a person’s younger years, a study suggests. The findings may explain the success of older achievers such as British novelist Richard Adams, who published Watership Down at 52 after a career in the Civil Service, and American author Laura Ingalls Wilder, who was 65 when she wrote the first of the Little House on the Prairie books. Current Prices on popular forms of Gold Bullion Colonel Harland David Sanders was also … Continue reading

By Dr. Mercola Eating a balanced whole-food diet, such as described in my nutrition plan, is a foundational requirement for optimal nutrition. It can be quite difficult to get sufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals from your diet if you do not eat real food. Unfortunately, even if you do eat well, how and where your food was grown can also influence your nutritional intake. Soil quality, for example, can significantly influence the levels of certain nutrients in your food, even if you eat organic. Your age and certain health conditions (digestive issues and others) can also impact your body’s … Continue reading

Trump the Anti-Globalist Champion of the People? Many Americans who’ve been supporting President-elect Trump see him as the populist leader who will save America from ruin. Trump supporters have been unfairly marginalized and pigeonholed by the MSM broad stroke as white supremacy extremists bent on plunging America back into a new Jim Crowism era and a second Civil War along with a growing number of angry, uneducated, disenfranchised blue collar, mostly white male redneck loser types. Despite a spike in racist graffiti and vandalism since the election, this gross overgeneralization is the Hillary/Soros/Rothschild/MSM’s desperate attempt to discredit Trump’s victory while … Continue reading

The post Trump: the Anti-Globalist US Champion appeared first on LewRockwell.

What the libertarian theorist Murray Rothbard dubbed the welfare-warfare state has held sway in the US, and in the West generally, since the run up to World War II. The “welfare” part of the equation describes the growth of the State as the source and guarantor of social equity, while the “warfare” side describes the role of the State – in this case, the American State – as the source and guarantor of the “international order.” For the past half century or so this system has proved impregnable to would-be challengers. Indeed, the solidity and seeming permanence of this state … Continue reading

When Hillary Clinton delivered a campaign post-mortem to her major supporters in a telephone conference call late last week, she blamed her loss in the presidential election on FBI Director James Comey. She should have blamed the loss on herself. Her refusal to safeguard state secrets while she was secretary of state and her failure to grasp the nationwide resentment toward government by the forgotten folks in the middle class were far likelier the cause of her defeat than was Comey. Yet it is obvious that law enforcement-based decisions in the past four months were made with an eye on … Continue reading

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.” This is the famous serenity prayer, authored by Reinhold Niebuhr. It was the closest to theological orthodoxy that Niebuhr ever came. It applies to voting. VOTING AND LOTTERIES Voting is irrational, according to free market economic theory. It is like buying a lottery ticket, only dumber. There is a Wikipedia entry on this: the paradox of voting. The paradox of voting, also called Downs paradox, is that for a rational, self-interested voter, the costs of … Continue reading

If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.  – Emma Goldman I awoke on election day at about the same time that Boobus and his fellow robots were beginning their lockstep march to voting facilities in eastern states. I wondered how many were humming the statist mantra “it-doesn’t-matter-who-you-vote-for-just-vote” as they strutted to their reward of an “I voted” sticker to wear on their shirts or jackets. Does this foolish slogan continue to have any life within it? My question was soon answered when I read an online editorial from a newspaper for whom I began delivering papers when I was … Continue reading

Program Note: Lew has interviewed author Peter Janney for the podcast which will be on LRC this weekend, 11/19-20. “Mary’s Mosaic” is several things at once: an insightful and sensitive biography of both Mary Meyer and her one-time husband, CIA propaganda specialist Cord Meyer; a murder mystery; a trial drama; an expose of secret knowledge and cover-ups inside the Washington D.C. Beltway during the 1950s and 1960s; and of course, a love story about the late-developing relationship between President John F. Kennedy and Mary Pinchot Meyer, whom he had first met at an Ivy League prep school dance when she … Continue reading

Bill legalizing Jewish settler homes on private Palestinian land gets initial parliamentary approval

Following Trump’s productive phone discussions with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping this week, and the political demise of Obama’s (and Hillary’s) war plans, there is no reason that these three great nations can not collaborate to crush the British/Saudi-sponsored terrorist machine internationally, starting with ISIS and al-Nusra in Syria. “There is no other way to do it,” Lyndon LaRouche said today. “Putin is at the center of this. Prevent any kind of interference.”

The American population is rapidly coming to realize that the long nightmare of economic decay, the epidemic of drugs and suicides, the perpetual warfare, and the awesome threat of thermonuclear war, could be finally over. Sixteen years of Bush and Obama is coming to an end. Whether Donald Trump will put aside his populism in favor of implementing Glass-Steagall and crushing the power of Wall Street over the US government and economy — as he promised he would — is yet to be seen. That will depend on the American people mobilizing themselves behind a solution — not just a rejection of the evil of the past sixteen years. That solution is now before them in the form of LaRouche’s Four Laws: Glass-Steagall; a restoration of National Banking; an end to monetarism in favor of a Hamiltonian credit system to finance industrial and agricultural infrastructure, education, and health care; and a restoration of scientific development, starting with a revived NASA space program and greatly expanded fusion power research.

Teams of organizers from New York, Baltimore, and Virginia hit the Congress on Wednesday, demanding that they not wait for Trump’s inauguration, but act during this “lame duck” session to implement Glass-Steagall and the Four Laws. The Democratic Party is in turmoil after the thrashing they received in the presidential and congressional elections, but indications from LaRouche organizers across the country is that many Democrats are finally facing the fact that Obama and Hillary had joined the Republican neocons, serving not the American population, but Wall Street and the war machine. Trump’s rejection of both Obama and the Republican neocons, and their war plans, during the campaign, created a refuge for Democrats who saw the evil of the Obama killing machine.

The “unipolar world” of the neocons — as in Obama’s “we make the rules” — has proven to be in fact the total isolation of the United States and its EU allies internationally. In Europe, after the Brexit, elections are going against the EU dictatorship and in favor of restoring ties with Russia, as in Bulgaria and Moldova. Turkey’s Foreign Minister said today that his country is so disgusted with European leaders threatening to throw them out of the EU and/or NATO that they are planning a referendum on the nation’s relationship to the EU — a “Turkxit.”

The alternative is clear. Xi Jinping, with his “New Paradigm” centered on the New Silk Road policies, traveled to South America today, where he will be hosted for state visits in Ecuador, Peru, and Chile this week, and attend the APEC Summit in Peru. Ecuador President Correa praised China’s role in transforming the physical economy of his country over the past ten years, and described the current visit as “the most important visit of any head of state in the history of Ecuador.”

The same enthusiasm for a new paradigm is seen across Africa and Asia. Everywhere, people are pondering a future in which the United States no longer threatens wars and “color revolution” subversion, but joins with the BRICS, the AIIB, the New Silk Road, in building a future for all mankind. This potential must be realized, especially in the U.S. itself. The window of opportunity is before us, but it may be brief, with unthinkable consequences if we fail.
