“Now is the time to take back control of money”

  That’s the position of Neil Oliver, whom we’ve met in these pages on many previous occasions.  I think he makes a strong case.  Here’s his video presentation, followed by an excerpt from the transcript. Mr. Oliver notes: Let’s imagine you want to borrow 200k to buy a house. When you go to the bank… Continue reading “Now is the time to take back control of money”

“Why the middle class is being destroyed”

  That’s the title of an article at American Greatness.  I don’t necessarily agree with all the author’s arguments, but he makes an intriguing case that deserves our attention.  Here’s an excerpt. The emergence of a cognitive elite, and, for the first time in history, the almost total convergence of intellectuals with the financial elite… Continue reading “Why the middle class is being destroyed”

Sounds like the Italians have picked themselves a worthwhile leader

  I don’t normally follow Italian politics very closely, but I’ve watched the recent election campaign there with real astonishment.  To have the President of the European Commission publicly and unashamedly threaten the Italian electorate with “consequences” if they elect the “wrong” government . . . that’s mind-boggling.  So much for democracy!  Thankfully, Italian voters… Continue reading Sounds like the Italians have picked themselves a worthwhile leader

An FBI whistleblower alleges abuses

  I highly recommend paying close attention to an FBI whistleblower’s case as it unfolds.  The New York Post reports: Bombshell allegations by FBI Special Agent Steve Friend contained in a whistleblower complaint filed late Wednesday with the Department of Justice inspector general reveal a politicized Washington, DC, FBI field office cooking the books to… Continue reading An FBI whistleblower alleges abuses

This bears repeating – again and again

  Click the image for a larger view. So much of what we read and hear today is nothing more than political correctness writ large, that it’s worth reminding ourselves that at root, it’s all the same old extremist lie.  The communists used it in bucketsful.  So has almost every other extremist movement down the… Continue reading This bears repeating – again and again

“Setting the table for famine”

  That’s the headline for an hour-long interview Michael Yon did with Epoch Times a couple of days ago.  Unfortunately I couldn’t find a transcript of the interview, but nevertheless I highly recommend watching it.  Mr. Yon covers most of the bases during a long and wide-ranging discussion.  In particular, note the role of governments… Continue reading “Setting the table for famine”

“Wars and rumors of wars … nation will rise against nation”

  The headline to this post is, of course, from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 6-7.  I’m not saying these are the end times.  After all, people have said that since Christ walked the earth, ignoring his own declaration that “about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in… Continue reading “Wars and rumors of wars … nation will rise against nation”

What happens when Europe runs out of fuel? And how will that affect the USA?

  Brandon Smith, whom we’ve met often in these pages, has a grim energy forecast for Europe over the coming months. Here are the developments Europe will see in the near term: Rolling Blackouts Further Price Inflation In Energy Business Shutdowns Due To Operating Costs Energy Fascism – Informants And Government Monitoring Of Usage Further… Continue reading What happens when Europe runs out of fuel?
