The Coup, Then and Now

The Anglo-American oligarchy began a coup against President Donald Trump after his surprise 2016 election. They were in a panic to block his announced aims of partnership with Russia, the end of permanent war, the overturn of predatory Free Trade, and the return of Glass Steagall to break Wall Street’s power. The panic turned into a frenzy on the Russian angle, as it emerged that Trump had been working with strategic advisors who were prepared to return the United States to its traditional su...

10 Things I Would Do

Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from The Business of Living by Frank Crane. It has been condensed from the original. Published in 1920, it’s a real gem. Enjoy the read.

The voyager entering a new country will listen with attention to the traveler who is just returning from its exploration; and the young warrior buckling on his armor may be benefitted by the experiences of the old warrior who is laying his armor off. I have climbed the Hill of Life, and am past the summit, I suppose...

The Real Noriega Story

The death of former Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega on May 29 elicited few if any tears. But it should have sparked more reflection in the United States on his ugly history of service to the CIA, the hypocrisy of Washington’s sudden discovery of his abuses once Noriega became an unreliable ally against the Nicaraguan Sandinistas, and the George H.W. Bush administration’s bloody and illegal invasion of Panama in December 1989.

In fairness, many progressives and mainstream journalists have...

Rockefeller/Rothschild Hub Meets

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. . . .  The supranational sovereignty of an intellect...

Remember the Liberty

The astounding story in this new book is about one of the most explosive and hidden secrets in U.S. history – one that has never been previously told in such a transformative way.  It is a story that has been kept so secret from most Americans that it is completely unknown by the vast majority, and those who have even heard of it have accepted the lie that it was an accident, a case of “mistaken identity.”  But the very reason it was kept as “Top Secret” by the government and embargoed by the...

Ancient Egyptians Weren’t African

From Nature:

Mummy DNA unravels ancient Egyptians’ ancestry

Genetic analysis reveals a close relationship with Middle Easterners, not central Africans.

Traci Watson30 May 2017

The tombs of ancient Egypt have yielded golden collars and ivory bracelets, but another treasure — human DNA — has proved elusive. Now, scientists have captured sweeping genomic information from Egyptian mummies. It reveals that mummies were closely related to ancient Middle Easterners, hinting that northern Africans mi...

Books on Austrian Economics

This was posted yesterday on a forum. It begins with one of my observations on what I must re-read before I finish writing the manuscript of my projected magnum opus, Christian Economics: Scholar’s Edition.

“Then I will have to re-read the basics of Austrian economics. There are at least a dozen major books.”

Predictable question! What are they?

The list begins with books that are easier to read. The list gets progressively more rigorous.

From Anti to Advocate

But there is also a clutch of extraordinary individuals who, when confronted with real evidence about the cannabis plant’s therapeutic potential, have done a 180-degree turn, transforming themselves from herb hater to cannabis campaigner.

1. The Doctor

Dr Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent for CNN, is perhaps the most high-profile cannabis critic to come out in favour of the plant.

After years opposing cannabis legalization, he made a startling apology in an article titled “Why I chang...

Never Ignore These

As we get older, bone health becomes a serious concern. This is because, over time, our bones become weaker, which increases our risk of fracture and disability. It’s even more detrimental for seniors because disability and other injuries can negatively affect a person’s quality of life.

The problem is that bone weakness and damage can occur without many signs or symptoms. By the time a person sees their doctor, the damage may be too far gone. But there are a few signs and symptoms you can lo...
