College Days, Then and Now

I’m sitting in a parking garage in Auburn, Alabama, and as I write, it’s pouring. Just before this deluge, I finished a five-mile walk around a campus that was the birthplace of so much good in my life. It’s a joy to walk its familiar paths now that I’m several chapters into the story—well past the youthful intrigues and romantic speculations of college life.

When you’re a college student, life’s every possibility lies ahead, and if you’re the brooding type, it’s all documented. My generation bo...

Terror by Night: Who Pays the Price for Botched SWAT Team Raids? We Do

“We’re all potential victims.”—Peter Christ, retired police officer

Sometimes ten seconds is all the warning you get.

Sometimes you don’t get a warning before all hell breaks loose.

Imagine it, if you will: It’s the middle of the night. Your neighborhood is in darkness. Your household is asleep. Suddenly, you’re awakened by a loud noise.

Barely ten seconds later, someone or an army of someones has crashed through your front door.

The intruders are in your home.

Your heart begins racing. Your sto...

White Liberals Are Destroying White America

The Biden Regime’s threats to Texas for daring to protect America’s borders leads me again to thoughts about the so-called “civil war,” which was an invasion of a country, the Confederate States of America, by the United Stares of America, a false name as the states were disunited by the Morrill Tariff.

What was at stake was economic interests.  The North intended to use the South to bear the tax burden of northern development and prosperity at the expense of the South’s impoverishment. The batt...

WEF Totalitarians Seek to Euthanize the West

Totalitarianism is the warm bath in which civilization slits its wrists.  It envelops the people with petty rules, strange dogmas, immoral duties, and forced sacrifices.  It warms its victims with intoxicating promises of the government’s false love.  It leaves the citizen naked — stripped first of his free will, then the thoughts in his head, and finally anything he once called his own.  It slowly dispossesses each person of his personhood, until the population withers into frail, colorless fac...

The Hidden Agenda of Davos

International Man: It’s that time of the year when a bunch of out-of-touch, self-anointed elites gather at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

It’s where they discuss the big issues of the day. The most influential world leaders attend, as do the CEOs of the largest companies, leaders in the mainstream media, and top academics. Central bankers attend, too, along with a wide assortment of celebrities.

What do you make of Davos and the people who attend it?

Doug Casey: It is unquestion...

Israel’s Day of Reckoning

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued its Order yesterday (26 January 2024) on the South African case against Israel involving possible genocide in Gaza.

Predictably, the coverage of the Order in the mainstream media in the West aims to spin the story in ways that are most favorable to Israel, which means minimizing or omitting those elements of the story that make Israel look bad and emphasizing that the ICJ did not order Israel to cease all military operations in Gaza.

Hardly anyone ...

The Discovery of Civilization

I landed in London in late 1991 to pursue my MBA, using it to obtain a British visa and depart from India. There was a peculiar allure, a charm that felt almost erotic, drawing me towards the West. I was filled with curiosity, eager to understand what contributed to the West’s success and why the world held it in such a high regard. It was impossible to quantify what I was after—if I knew what was on the other side, I would not have needed to go there to find out.

The British immigration officer...

Lincoln’s Tariff War ~ March 2, 1861

When Charles Adams published his book For Good and Evil, a world history of taxation, the most controversial chapter by far was the one on whether or not tariffs caused the American War between the States. That chapter generated so much discussion and debate that Adams’s publisher urged him to turn it into an entire book, which he did, in the form of When in the Course of Human Events: Arguing the Case for Southern Secession.

Many of the reviewers of this second book, so confident were they that...

Are You the Smartest Guy in the Room if You Believe This Whole Border Situation Is a Fraud?

I know there are people out there who believe there is no way out of the mess we’re in, as a nation. That’s their story and they’re sticking to it, no matter what.

So the border standoff between the feds and the states looks, to them, like another con, another piece of The Plan to cause more chaos. To chew the country to pieces.

They’d bet the farm that the border crisis will never be solved. The flood of illegal migrants will never end.

For these “smartest guys in the room,” whenever the whispe...
