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”

US used auto sales crash – more confirmation
Yesterday I put up an article titled “Vehicle sales as a bellwether for the economy“. Reader Andrew Smith added a comment linking to the video below, for which I’m grateful. The speaker calls himself the “Economic Ninja”, and certainly seems to have inside knowledge of the US auto market. He reinforces what I said… Continue reading US used auto sales crash – more confirmation
Yikes!
This graphic popped up on MeWe yesterday evening. I can’t link directly to the post concerned. Clickit to biggit. The original poster didn’t provide a source link, or any further details about where the data had come from. It’s pretty scary, isn’t it? I’d love to know how accurate those figures are. Certainly, the… Continue reading Yikes!
“Lies, Damn Lies, And Police Interrogations”
That’s the title of a recent video by the Armed Attorneys, Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor. I think it’s particularly important viewing in the light of partisan District Attorneys and police administrators in many jurisdictions in the USA. I’ve written about that problem extensively in the past, particularly in these two articles: Self-defense under… Continue reading “Lies, Damn Lies, And Police Interrogations”
I’m glad I don’t live in Germany right now…
… because the cost of living there is going through the roof. Reuters reports that last month, German producer prices rose by 45.8% compared to August last year. Producer prices for electricity rose 174.9% compared with August 2021 and by 26.4% compared with the previous month. Excluding energy, the year-on-year rise in producer prices… Continue reading I’m glad I don’t live in Germany right now…
A sobering inside look at our US hospital system
Divemedic has many years of experience working in the US hospital system. He offers this insight about what’s going on now in his Florida hospital. I’ve confirmed that much the same thing is happening in some hospitals in Texas, Tennessee and Colorado, because I have contacts in all of them. We have been short… Continue reading A sobering inside look at our US hospital system
“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”
The balance of international influence just shifted – hard
Many readers may not have paid much attention to the meeting last week of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). That would be very short-sighted, because a number of developments there demonstrate a significant, possibly permanent shift in the international perspective and alignment of the nations of the world. One of the most interesting aspects… Continue reading The balance of international influence just shifted – hard
What do you expect, after you’ve defunded the police?
Clearly, the liberals and progressives who’ve embraced defunding and inhibiting the police and other emergency services didn’t think about how – or whether – they would be able to do their jobs with less funding. New York City first responders are taking longer to get to fires, medical emergencies and crimes in progress. Critics… Continue reading What do you expect, after you’ve defunded the police?
Inflation watch: Argentina as a bellwether for what might happen here
Those of us who’ve lived in high-inflation societies are watching what’s happening today in the USA with a certain cynical sense of déjà vu. We’ve seen it all before. The current effective annual US inflation rate (forget the official numbers – they’re falsified – and look to more authoritative sources such as Shadowstats, or… Continue reading Inflation watch: Argentina as a bellwether for what might happen here
