Surviving and Thriving in the Coming Crisis With Modest Means

International Man: There’s no question the years ahead will be turbulent.

Wealthier people have a leg up and will be better able to insulate themselves from the coming chaos.

For those without significant wealth, how would you recommend they allocate their limited resources in the coming chaos for both protection and profit?

Doug Casey: First, let me draw your attention to one of my favorite quotes from Ayn Rand. When asked what should be done about the poor, she answered: “Don’t be one of them....

The CIA & Mossad; Algorithms, Rhetoric, & Fakery

RAMPING UP RHETORIC Regarding Abortion:

How prevalent is Rape?   The CDC reports data compiled by the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey.   They collect their data via random telephone interviews.  The means of collecting and analyzing the data changed in 2016, therefore comparisons are useless according to NIPSV.  Because people were not too keen on providing this information over the phone to a stranger, NIPSV began offering compensation.  The last survey conducted was 2016 –...

The Ground Is Fertile For The Seeds Of Liberty

The world appears increasingly ominous in various respects, seemingly descending into deeper gloom with each passing day. Reports of imminent wars, escalating political turmoil, the harsh realities of rising inflation, and a palpable sense of an impending economic recession all contribute to this unsettling atmosphere. Libertarians may find their fervent advocacy for liberty as the cure, falling on deaf ears beyond their existing communities. The sheer volume of work required to reach a consensu...

‘Stand Courageously For What You Believe in’

Tyrants have always flourished during times of turmoil, when people are frightened and crave security. Likewise, those who wield state power have always invoked emergencies in order to extend their power at the expense of constitutionally-protected liberties.

When fear is in the air and people are blitzed with propaganda, it has always been a small minority of men and women who retain their reason and discernment and see through the lies.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is just such a ma...

Carpe Culturam

Here on the Far Side, we refer to the “elite” or “powers that be” as Bumbledicks. We don’t want to ascribe any form of power or privilege to those bastids. I got the term from the great Preston Jones play “The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia,” part of his Texas Trilogy. The character Horace Taylor uses the term to deride incompetence and stupidity, and it fits quite well in our context.

On the Far Side, we use terms like Bumbledick, Buckethead, Numbnut, Scientidiot, and GeezerM...

A US Army Composed of Immigrant-invaders?

California’s Democrat Government Permits illegal immigrants to be police officers.  It is only a logical step to put them into the US Army.

First Democrats demonized white men, forced white soldiers to take “sensitivity training,” and then refused white men promotion because “there are too many white officers.”  Consequently, white men stopped signing up for military service that they found to be oppressive and humiliating.  Now Democrats want to give immigrant-invaders citizenship for serving i...

More Churches Need To Support a Secular One-State Solution for Palestine-Israel

After the Holocaust, the idea of creating a safe homeland for the Jews in Palestine through  Zionism  became more popular.  Then  the  State of Israel  in Palestine was officially established in 1948.

Beginning in the 1920s, Jews mostly from Europe started immigrating into Palestine increasingly.   The ethnic cleansing or removal of Palestinians from their homeland started becoming systematic in 1948 with  Plan Dalet (or Plan D).  The current Israel-Hamas war and the impending destruction of Ram...

Remaking America Is Like Building a House…

Politico/NYTimes Headlines abound every single day with a litany of ‘stunning rulings’, ‘embarrassment’, ‘face=offs’, ‘voting today’, ‘speeches’, ‘threats’ – ALL within the guise of Congress & politics.   Minute by minute – second-by-second – blusterings of nothingism.   Hamsters spinning wheels.   Bills that won’t get passed, lawsuits that will die on the vine, all to support an illusion that Congress is a valid entity.  

Trump is visiting the border.  Biden is visiting the border…  Who gives a...

Worshipping Gaia

Last month, the redoubtable Jordan Peterson sat down with reporter Colm Flynn of EWTN (the Eternal Word Television Network) to discuss a variety of topics, including his wife Tammy’s miraculous recovery from cancer, the widespread loss of faith in the Catholic Church since the 1960s, and Pope Francis’ “fixation” on “climate change.”

The term “fixation” is a word used by psychologists to indicate a mental abnormality. Dr. Peterson is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Toronto. ...

Agenda 21 and the Reorganization of Human Society

According to Wikipedia– Agenda 21 is a non-binding action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. It is a product of the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. One major objective of the Agenda 21 initiative is that every local government...
