To: Mr. Donald J. Trump 2016 Republican Frontrunner for U.S. Presidency Chairman & President The Trump Organization From: John Taylor Gatto Two-Time New York State Teacher of the Year New York City, N. Y. info@JohnTaylorGatto.com Dear Mr. Trump: I am a strong supporter of yours, with both a national and an international following and have some suggestions to help with your campaign. First, your natural speaking style is refreshing, but like all political speakers you do have a tendency to fall back on well-worn rhetorical images, grandiose locations which, over time, are merely heard as noise, but that make no … Continue reading →

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; I have read your thesis on global warming and that this is only part of a natural cycle. I admit that you have persuaded me whereas the claims are false especially that New York City should have been under water by now according Al Gore. You mentioned that there was global warming which enabled the Vikings to reach America because the ice melted. My question is rather blunt. If we are headed now into a global cooling period, what is the historical evidence that society also declines? Thank you in advance PD ANSWER: I have reported that the … Continue reading →

Marc Faber, aka Dr. Doom, believes the worst of the oil price dive is over with only a $10 dollar dip at most likely to come to pass. Faber, who is editor and publisher of ‘The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report’, made the comments in response to the meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC members on April 17. This saw oil producing nations negotiate on stemming further price drops. However, a failure to agree on a freeze led the oil price to drop 7% to around $42-per-barrel. Ahead of the meeting Iran had said that it would not participate as it … Continue reading →

Want to put the spring back into your step and get set to sizzle in summer? Then now’s the time to take stock of your diet and make sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need for maximum health and vitality. In an earlier era, when our diet was dictated by the seasons, spring brought an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables after the long and gloomy winter, and an opportunity to replenish reserves of important nutrients. Back then, there was a clear link between nutritional status and the availability of fresh foods. But even now, when food miles mean … Continue reading →

The Murray Rothbard wall poster depicts a graying professor pecking at a typewriter. His words rise magically from the machine and blend into a black flag of anarchy rippling above his head. Beneath the drawing is the caption: “Murray N. Rothbard—the greatest living enemy of the state.” The poster, like almost everything else relating to politics, causes Rothbard to laugh. He has a penchant for humor that, in his younger days, let him write an Off-Broadway play, Mozart Was a Red, which poked fun at the Ayn Rand cult of the individual. Today he still laughs very easily. If someone … Continue reading →

The language of scams and flim-flams is colorful. No one likes to get bamboozled, but the words for getting duped are creative and vivid. This creativity extends to out-of-fashion words for dastardly swindles. Make sure to use one of the following the next time you get hornswoggled. 1. CANOODLE This day, when we hear about canoodling, it’s usually two celebrities playing tonsil hockey or enjoying a wholesome hug. But this word has a more disreputable history. Canoodling has always had a sense of two people getting close, but originally one was trying to rip the other off. An Oxford English Dictionary … Continue reading →

In my previous article on reality therapy, I explained that the reality therapist does not believe it is necessary, or even helpful, to hash over the deep-rooted causes of one’s problems. Instead, he believes that fulfillment of an individual’s needs in the present, regardless of what traumas he may have suffered in the past, is all that matters. In other words, through the power of free will, we have the capacity to modify our behavior. I thought about this some years ago after watching a segment on 60 Minutes Wednesday about a remarkable man by the name of Thomas Quasthoff. … Continue reading →

On April 24, the New York Post published an article claiming to expose the “smug life” of the establishment Left. On the basis of research conducted by Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto who has been investigating the “young-adult site Vox,” author Kyle Smith concludes that “liberals have stopped debating ideas, instead dismissing their opponents and half the country as stupid.” Smith’s article tries to drive home the point that while the “conservative” side is eager to debate delicate issues, the other side is full of “liberal smugness.” Indeed, even a glance at Vox would illustrate that “liberals don’t want to … Continue reading →

The Third World War is currently being fought. How long before it moves into its hot stage? Washington is currently conducting economic and propaganda warfare against four members of the five block group of countries known as BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Brazil and South Africa are being destabilized with fabricated political scandals. Both countries are rife with Washington-financed politicians and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Washington concocts a scandal, sends its political agents into action demanding action against the government and its NGOs into the streets in protests. Washington tried this against China with the orchestrated Hong Kong “student … Continue reading →

Last month, I celebrated the beginning of my 81st year of life. For nearly half that time, I have been writing a nationally syndicated column on many topics generating reader responses that go from supportive to quite ugly. So I thought a column making my vision, values and views explicit might settle some of the controversy. My initial premise, when looking at all human issues, is that each of us owns himself. I am my private property, and you are your private property. If you agree with that premise, then certain human actions are moral and others immoral. The reason … Continue reading →

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Gov. John Kasich are apparently working in concert to keep the Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, away from the GOP nomination. This game of ‘keep away’, or as I knew it growing up – ‘Piggy In the Middle‘ – is going on all around the Western world at the moment as populations fall out of love with their ruling classes. Cruz and Kasich are apparently planning to undertake this strategy across Oregon, New Mexico, and Indiana – with Kasich being allowed by the Cruz campaign to focus on the first two while Kasich will move out of the … Continue reading →
