Debt, Taxes, Growth

During more than four decades in Washington and on Wall Street it is quite possible that we never picked up any useful skills. But along the way we did unavoidably acquire what amounts to a survival tool in those fair precincts—-namely, a nose for the con job.

And what a doozy we have going now as a desperate mob of Capitol Hill Republicans attempts to enact something—anything— that can be vaguely labeled tax reform/tax cut. And for a reason that lies only slightly below the surface.

In a wor...

Poison the Planet

Merry Christmas to one and all from North Korea.  Glorious Leader Kim Jong-un unwrapped a wonderful new intercontinental missile, the Hwasong-15, which experts believe might be capable of reaching Los Angeles, New York and Washington, depending on the weight of its nuclear warhead.

This was the big, earth-shaking story until Gen. Michael Flynn’s guilty plea in Washington seemed an even bigger bombshell than North Korea’s nukes.  As of now, the Flynn scandal looks like a tempest in a teapot –...

Should You Skip Your Afternoon Nap?

Are you one of those people who wake up and already look forward to your afternoon nap? Don’t be ashamed, sleep is a beautiful thing. Some of us can’t get through a day without a nap just because we are so busy and left exhausted. For others, we nap simply out of boredom. Although napping feels good, is it good for our health?

Depending on who you ask, you will receive a different answer. Some big companies are so convinced that naps help improve productivity that they give their employees na...

Natural Anti-Cancer Therapies

The Budwig Protocol is our most recommended anti-cancer therapy; although other effective alternatives exist. We covered the best of them in detail within our documentary, The Cancer Report. What follows is a brief listing of the natural anti-cancer therapies which we consider to be the safest and most effective.

Essiac tea Vitamin B-17 (laetrile) Oxygen/ozone therapy possibly including intravenous hydrogen peroxide High-dose vitamin C therapy The Hoxsey Regimen Gerson Protocol

Should You Grow Spuds in a Tub?

I have never met a potato I did not like.  Seriously.  There was period during the 80s that I refer to as my potato years.  I shunned meats of any kind and pretty much subsisted for weeks at a time on baked potatoes, asiago cheese, and apples.  That, plus my morning latte was it.  I would go weeks and weeks on a steady diet of potatoes and little else.

Somewhere along the line,  I gave up such foolishness and started eating a bit more normally.  Well, maybe not normally but certainly with a l...

Terracotta Army Weapons

It was 1974, Xi’an, China and one of the most phenomenal archaeological discoveries ever occurred.  It was the moment when more than 8000 full scale warriors cast of clay were reintroduced to the world after hiding for over two millennia.  The vast army in waiting would become known as the ‘ Terracotta Army’.

The warriors themselves were skillfully sculpted from clay. It was not until almost three decades after the initial discovery that research revealed that the weapons the army had been pr...

If You’re an American

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard something along the lines of the following from traditional bankers, slightly innovative money managers, and even some of the staff of cutting edge bitcoin exchanges alike: “We can take clients from everywhere in the world except for Iran, North Korea, and of course the United States. Those are the three we refuse to make any exception for.”

The three rogue nations. The nations that don’t get along with other nations – two of which were put on the list o...

Chancing It

It is increasingly tempting to just go for it.

Scratch that. It is increasingly reasonable to just go for it.

Traffic stops are not what they once were. The fines have become disproportionate, abusive – hundreds of dollars for crimes-agains-no-one such as “speeding” and not having various government stickers, all of them up to date.

Many people cannot afford to pay these fines – not to mention the additional fines they face in the form of higher car insurance premiums, which they’re forced to...

Big Conservatism (The Big Con)

Ever since Barack Obama infamously announced his intention to “fundamentally transform” America, the merchants of Big Conservative media, i.e. The Big Con, have seized upon this as proof of Obama’s disdain for America as it has traditionally conceived itself.

It’s true, of course, that this assessment of the 44th POTUS couldn’t be more correct: It is inconceivable that, being a proponent of Blackism and socialism, Obama could find anything worth conserving, much less loving, in the predominan...

The Most Corrupt Government in History?

Robert Mueller, a former director of the FBI who is working as a special prosecutor “investigating” a contrived hoax designed by the military/security complex and the DNC to destroy the Trump presidency, has yet to produce a scrap of evidence that Russiagate is anything but orchestrated fake news. As William Binney and other top experts have said, if there is evidence of Russiagate, the NSA would have it. No investigation would be necessary. So where is the evidence?

It is a revelation of how...
