THE NEW DEBATE OVER THE KT BOUNDARY LAYER EVENT

Here’s one that I think you’ll enjoy, and which I find almost endlessly fascinating. But first, a little background. In my book The Cosmic War I outlined the Exploded Planet Hypothesis of the late astronomer Dr. Tom Van Flandern, who published a fascinating book on the subject (dark Matter, Missing Planets, and New Comets). Briefly, [...]

TIDBIT: JON RAPPAPORT COMMENTS ON COLLECTIVISM, THE “LESSER OF TWO EVILS,” AND AYN RAND

This I had to share, because it is the sort of cultural critique and analysis that I think is timely. Regardless of where one stands on Ayn Rand and her two masterpieces (and I freely confess, I’ve long been a Rand fan, though certainly wouldn’t endorse everything in her philosoohy), The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. [...]

THE AMALEKITES….AGAIN….

Well…this one truly scares me folks, because the implications are that a little home-grown, “bible-believing” Schutzstaffel is being created before our very eyes, if this article from the United Kingdom’s Guardian is to be believed(and, having moved in evangelical circles – though never identifying with it – earlier in my life, I, for one, can [...]

GENETICALLY MODIFIED HUMAN BABIES: EARLY REPORTS OF DISORDERS…AND PATENT POSSIBILITIES

Both alchemy and transhumanism aim for the transformation of mankind. There, perhaps, all resemblance ends (though, as my co-author Scott D. de Hart and I point out in the forthcoming Transhumanism book, there is more of alchemy in it than one might at first suspect). The resemblance ends because in its most basic sense, esoteric [...]

SOME MUSINGS ON SANDUSKY, PENN STATE, AND THE FRANKLIN COVER-UP

By now we’ve heard of the sex abuse scandal at Penn State that has now landed former football coach Jerry Sandusky in jail, and which apparently engulfed even the late and legendary coach Joe Paterno. Now, anyone who knows me well will tell you, I could care less about professional – or college – well, [...]

ON SPECIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH ISRAEL

During the past months I’ve been commenting about the geopolitical realignment taking place in the world, but there is one stable feature throughout all this transition, and it is the “special relationship” that supposedly obtains between the US and Israel. After all(we’re reminded time and time again), the USA is allied to the only real [...]

BIG BANG THEORY JUST A DULL THUD? SOME PALEOPHYSICAL SPECULATIONS

People know I’m fascinated with physics, and those who’ve read between the lines of my books, or followed some of my blogs on physics topics, know I have a few problems with aspects of the standard model of physics, one of them being The Big Bang. Well, an Oxford mathematician and scientist is now saying [...]

HILLARY THREATENS RUSSIA AND CHINA

Remember that geopolitical-economic realignment I’ve been talking about in the past few months? Well, apparently, the light bulb went on – well, it probably just flickered – in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cackling head. Here’s an interesting article about her comments regarding the Chinese and Russian cores of that realignment at a recent summit meeting called [...]

NEW HAMPSHIRE AND JURY NULLIFICATION

Many years ago I used to be a college professor, and one of the subjects I professed was mediaeval history. In that course, I took a great deal of time to go through the details of mediaeval jurisprudence, and in particular, English jurisprudence, and spent a great deal of time on the subjects of the [...]
