Germany is smaller than California. Within the last two years, it has allowed in roughly two million Muslim refugees and immigrants, all by fiat. Having no voice in this radical demographic change, many Germans are fuming. Last year, I wrote from Leipzig that Germany has lost its autonomy and sanity. Teaching at the university, I registered that all my students were openly sympathetic towards Muslim refugees, so I suggested they look harder at their government’s complicity in the US’s endless war against Muslims. The best way to help Afghans, Iraqis, Libyans and Syrians is to not kill them and destroy … Continue reading →

Gold prices “are going up” whether Trump or Clinton are elected according to most analysts in the gold market including former Libertarian and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. Even Goldman Sachs, the primary significant bearish voice regarding gold prices is now bullish on gold in the medium and long term. Ron Paul, an astute observer of the markets, warned in a CNBC interview that “if investors are looking for the next U.S. president to create stability in the markets, it’s not going to happen.” Along with jitters about the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates, investors are weighing whether … Continue reading →

[Debating Gun Control: How Much Regulation Do We Need? By David DeGrazia and Lester H. Hunt. Oxford University Press, 2016. Xvi + 269 pages.] The authors are well-qualified for a good debate, and the book does not disappoint. Hunt is a philosopher of libertarian inclinations who has written books on Nietzsche, human character, and Robert Nozick. In my view, he is a thinker of genuine depth. DeGrazia is best known for work on animal rights and on bioethics. “Debating” in the title is a misnomer, as each author presents only his own case and there are no responses. DeGrazia mentions … Continue reading →

A maths-based puzzle – which seems relatively simple at first glance – has been driving people up the wall. The equation asks people to solve the values of a particular shape – four straight lines which form a rectangle. Some have guessed the answer to the Playbuzz question to be 8 – as adding the shape to the cross equalling 1 would create a shape similar to the one which equals 9. Current Prices on popular forms of Silver Bullion Can you solve the value of the third shape? It may not be what you first think… Read the Whole Article

Prohibition kills a massive number of people in the United States every year. It does help make a few people extremely wealthy, but at the same time, it impoverishes the rest of us. This dire situation is mostly unknown, but it is not due to a simple misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about prohibition. It is because prohibition is nothing but a scam. Steve Kubby’s foreword to the book demonstrates that the state has no moral purpose for enforcing marijuana prohibition. Rather, the state is actively covering up the fact that marijuana is not highly dangerous and marijuana has well-established … Continue reading →

That few believe Mr. Market can possibly stumble only increases the odds of a stumble. You know how to get into crash positions, correct? Here’s your guide: Very few punters expect a real downturn here in stocks. The reasons for confidence are many: the Fed has our back, buy the dip has worked great and will continue to work great, the Fed won’t raise rates until December (if ever), the Powers That Be will keep the market aloft lest a plunging market upset the election of the status quo candidate, and so on. Current Prices on popular forms of Gold Bullion This … Continue reading →

When most folks hear the words “Agenda 21” they have one of three responses: Huh? What’s that? Oh yay! It’ll turn the world into Utopia and global warming will stop and life will be rainbows and unicorns again! It’s a plan to remove personal liberty and move us closer to a one-world government. Where the heck is my tinfoil? Some folks don’t even believe it exists,  others think it exists but is a good thing turned into a nasty conspiracy theory, and the majority are blissfully oblivious. Even though many people don’t realize it, we’re all being nudged toward an … Continue reading →

Nick Giambruno: Doug, you predicted the fall of the European Union a few years ago. What has changed since then? Doug Casey: Well, what’s changed is that the entire situation has gotten much worse. The inevitable has now become imminent. The European Union evolved, devolved actually, from basically a free trade pact among a few countries to a giant, dysfunctional, overreaching bureaucracy. Free trade is an excellent idea. However, you don’t need to legislate free trade; that’s almost a contradiction in terms. A free trade pact between different governments is unnecessary for free trade. An individual country interested in prosperity … Continue reading →

Being “liberal” is still generally considered a good thing. After all, the traditional definition of a liberal revolved around being tolerant, open-minded, generous and empathetic. There are very, very few Americans today who fit that definition, especially those who self-identify as “leftists.” Liberals today can better be defined as social justice warriors, as many “conspiracy theorists” have started referring to them as. SJWs are primarily concerned with controlling thought, speech, and behavior. They are interested in restricting rights and liberties, not defending or expanding them. They are authoritarian to the core, and more quick to turn to violence than the … Continue reading →
