Downsizing is no longer the answer, apparently. Of engines, that is. You may have noticed. Even big vehicles come – increasingly – with startlingly small engines. Two-point-oh liter fours, for example, have become the go-to engine in mid-sized cars like the BMW 4, the Cadillac ATS and Mercedes C. These cars used to come standard with sixes in the 3-liter-ish range. Several new cars (Ford Fiesta, Mini Cooper) come with three cylinder engines of less than 2 liters’ displacement. All have turbos to increase displacement (on demand) in order to maintain the power/performance levels car buyers want while also delivering … Continue reading →

Recently, I saw a lovely work by one of my favourite artists, Alexander Calder, called ‘McGovern for President’. The art was created in support of George McGovern’s 1972 US Presidential bid, one which ultimately failed against the political machine of Richard Nixon, a highly intelligent yet ethically flawed man. It is important because there are some strange similarities to the 2016 campaign.  By 1972, the American protest movement had much of the wind knocked out of its sails. The Vietnam war continued to rage and the question became not ‘would America win’ but ‘how badly would America lose’. McGovern was … Continue reading →

This is a video of Putin explaining the balance of power from the Russian viewpoint. He is absolutely correct in saying that an anti-missile system neutralizes opposition. It would certainly embolden the war hawks into believing that they could defeat Russia and rule the world at the expense of American and Russian citizens. Montesquieu, who influenced the Founding Fathers in creating the Constitution, met the political leader and soldier known as Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736). The political discussions between these two men helped Montesquieu understand the evils of government and forged the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution … Continue reading →

The human body is an amazing thing. For each one of us, it’s the most intimate object we know. And yet most of us don’t know enough about it: its features, functions, quirks, and mysteries. That’s why we’re launching a new series called The Body, which will explore human anatomy, part by part. Think of it as a mini digital encyclopedia with a dose of wow. Everyone knows that when you get cut, you bleed—a result of the constant movement of blood through our bodies. But do you know all of the functions the circulatory system actually performs? Here are … Continue reading →

Forget foreign policy, economic policy, civil liberties or “muh roads.” With three weeks to go before Election Day, discussion of the so-called “issues” is over. From here on in, the candidates seem determined to do nothing but fire volleys of character assassination at the two easiest targets who ever ran for office. Thank goodness for that, too, for as libertarian icon Lew Rockwell, wrote, “In contrast to campaign “substance” which is mostly always wrong, or skewed, the invective is mostly entirely true.” Never has this been truer, as both candidates have made compelling cases the other is unfit to serve … Continue reading →

Right now the US mainstream media is obsessing over Donald’s alleged womanizing and female groping soap opera as the Clinton’s/MSM’s pruriently entertaining smokescreen, neatly designed to cover up Hillary/Bill’s serial raping and her criminal lead role as enabler/strong armed intimidator of past victims. Meanwhile, barely noticed in a virtual media blackout in the West are at least a half-dozen high alert, significant international developments this last weekend that all strongly indicate the extreme danger of a nuclear war breaking out at any time against Russia and its Eastern alliance. Again, do not pay attention to the US deceivers behind their Oz-like curtain and their frenzied pushing … Continue reading →

The Paris you know or remember from adverts or brochures no longer exists. While no part of Paris looks like the romantic Cliches in Hollywood movies, some districts now resemble post-apocalyptic scenes of a dystopian thriller. This footage, taken with a hidden camera by an anonymous Frenchman in the Avenue de Flandres, 19th Arrondissement, near the Stalingrad Metro Station in Paris as well as areas in close proximity, shows the devastating effects of uncontrolled illegal mass immigration of young African males into Europe. If it weren’t for the somewhat working infrastructure, the scene might as well have been the setting … Continue reading →

The Euro “will collapse” as it is a”house of cards” warned Otmar Issing, the founder, and creator of the euro in an extraordinary interview on Monday. In the explosive interview with the journal Central Banking, Professor Issing said “one day, the house of cards will collapse”  as the European Central Bank (ECB) is becoming dangerously over-extended and the whole euro project is unworkable in its current form. The founding architect of the monetary union has warned that Brussels’ dream of a European superstate will finally be buried amongst the rubble of the crumbling single currency he designed. “Realistically, it will be a … Continue reading →

You grew up on this story: “Franklin Roosevelt saved capitalism from itself.” This is one of the major myths of American history. Here is how we should understand the New Deal: Franklin Roosevelt saved the big bankers from their depositors. To understand the truth, you must understand what is never mentioned in the textbooks. Roosevelt gave his famous Inaugural Address shortly after noon on March 4, 1933. It is most famous for these words: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.” But the New York banks had a great deal to fear. There was a bank run going on: … Continue reading →

If a person wants to go into business as a taxicab owner, what requirements should be imposed to protect the public? The prospective taxicab owner should show that he is honest and can operate a vehicle safely. His vehicle should pass a safety inspection, and he should have a liability insurance policy. Some cities require the purchase of an existing license, sometimes called a medallion. A medallion has cost as much as over $1 million, as in the case of New York City, and the cost has reached $700,000 in Boston and $360,000 in Chicago. There is no public protection … Continue reading →

His promise to build a wall across the border to keep Mexican migrants from crossing in to the US has been one of the most divisive components of Donald Trump’s campaign. But it seems one group is already quietly addressing the Republican candidate’s wish for increased security. A group of vigilante former military and police men and women have been patrolling the border for years. Armed with their own weapons and an unsolicited desire to maintain the US’s border security, Arizona Border Recon monitors the state’s 311-mile border with Mexico. Myths, Misunderstandings and Outright lies about owning Gold. Are you … Continue reading →
