The Era of Abundant Oil, Resources And Food Is Coming to an End
The world is approaching a critical juncture where declining oil production, increasing geopolitical tensions, rising authoritarianism, and the accelerating climate crisis converge into a perfect storm.
These crises are not separate – they are deeply interconnected, forming a feedback loop where each intensifies the others.
Peak Oil Production
Global oil production is expected to peak in the near future (5-15 years). The shale boom that grew and sustained U.S. production for the last decade sign...
How To Sell Anything
Among the key insights of Austrian economics are that humans act and value is subjective. These observations seem obvious and uncontroversial…essentially truisms. But they’re often forgotten, neglected, or misunderstood.
Each person’s perspective is informed by innumerable variables that influence his values. An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way. An American believes a hundred years is a long time. Is either, neither, or each of them right? Who’s to say?
Would a woman rather receiv...

Wyoming Enacts Law To Establish Strategic Gold Reserve
(Cheyenne, Wyoming – February 24th, 2025) — A groundbreaking bill to establish a strategic gold reserve has just become law in Wyoming.
Senate File 96 – also known as the Wyoming Gold Act – requires the Wyoming Treasurer to diversify the state’s holdings by acquiring no less than $10 million in “specie and specie legal tender” as part of the state’s Permanent Mineral Trust Fund.
After the bill passed overwhelmingly through both chambers, Governor Mark Gordon – who once held a position at the ant...
Kite in a Tree
When I was a boy, cartoonist Charles Schulz introduced a new comic strip called Peanuts. Its central premise was children having the same problems as adults, and it was an instant hit.
There were several recurring themes and, each autumn, the cartoonist would have his main character, Charlie Brown, attempt to fly a kite. At first all would go well, and Charlie Brown would build up his hopes, only to have them dashed when a tree would snag his kite and eat it.
This theme was endlessly enjoyable, ...
Surviving Gunshots in an All Out Catastrophic SHTF Scenario- 3 Combat Lessons From a Veteran
About half the time gunshot wounds are fatal or permanently crippling even in the best of emergency care and follow up surgeries. Without good follow up treatment–especially with infections–gunshot fatalities increase to almost 90%.
Those are not ‘betting’ odds under any circumstances.
In the first part of this topic we covered bare essentials of gunshot wound first aid with a slant on the KISS principle for untrained preppers when no paramedics or professional emergency services are immediately...
On Nuclear War and Expensive Pennies
On nuclear war and expensive pennies
Trump’s assault on USAID is more than an exposure of its alignment with far left narratives. It raises the question: How far will he go in dealing with its perceived waste and abuse?
It looks like he won’t be satisfied with merely slashing jobs and the agency’s budget. Republican Representatives Chip Roy and Majorie Taylor Greene have already introduced legislation to permanently abolish USAID. And what about this proposed legislation would make it permanen...
Preparing for the Pope’s Passing
At the time of this writing, Pope Francis is in critical condition at Gemelli University Hospital in Rome with a complex case of pneumonia in both lungs and early-stage kidney failure. Before all else, we pray for his well-being and peace. But death is in the air. The Swiss Guard have held funeral rehearsals. The pontiff has shared his plan to relinquish the papal triple-interlocking casket and confided that he doesn’t believe he will survive this bout. Even before this decline in his fragile he...
