Certainly more than at any other moment in my lifetime, I feel the palpable presence of evil. I am not alone. Related to the Covid response, Naomi Wolf has expressed a similar feeling as described here. Wolf wonders about the possible causes. Unlike many authors, she does not offer a single, simple explanation, no single culprit; no conspiracy at play. “How could otherwise nice people have come to do such evil?” she asks. “How could they have allowed the suppression of young children’s respiration or consigned friends and colleagues to eat in the street like outcasts? How could it have...
From the Tom Woods Letter: I’ll bet you’re like me: you see someone wearing a mask in 2023, and you wonder what on Earth the person could be thinking. Either the person hasn’t paid attention to anything at all, or is trying to make some kind of warped statement. It shouldn’t have been all that hard to figure out that they don’t seem to do anything. All you have to do is look around the world. There is no connection between masking and any health outcome at all. If masking were really so important, we should be able to tell, based...
Truth About Tanks: How NATO Lied Its Way To Disaster In Ukraine Authored by Scott Ritter,
Tank warfare has evolved. The large force-on-force armored battles that were the hallmark of much of WWII, the Arab-Israeli conflicts, which served as the foundation of operational doctrine for both NATO and the Soviet Union (and which was implemented in full by the United States during Operation Desert Storm in 1991), has run its course.
Like most military technological innovations, the ability to make a modern main battle tank survivable has been outstripped by the...

The stunning footage displays a high-altitude balloon, not dissimilar from the one that traversed over the United States last week, carrying three hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs) into high altitude and dropping them for testing.

New York City Dominates America's Fine-Dining Capitals Receiving a Michelin star is still the highest honor for a restaurant and more than 200 in the United States currently hold the distinction.
As Statista's Katharina Buchholz details below, Michelin-star restaurants cluster around the country's biggest metros and most can be found in New York City.
Diners there have a large variety to pick from, including Michelin-starred Mexican at Casa Enrique in Long Island City, contemporary Scandinavian cooking at Brooklyn's Aska or modern, set family-style meals at Family Meal in Manhattan. A total of...
“The world, however, is moving on from the Davos unitary world governance prescription, to de-centralisation and multi polarity – in pursuit of the renaissance of autonomy, historic values and sovereignty.” — Alastair Crooke Have you forgotten the Chinese balloon incident yet? Don’t worry, you will. It was just a momentary distraction from the slow-motion crack-up of our country. And it came along with a boffo jobs report, led by hiring in “leisure and hospitality.” Oddly, the same month saw a record car re-po number, even higher than it was in the depths of the 2009 Great Financial Fiasco — raising...
Wat heb je nodig? Steeds meer mensen vinden dat wij minder nodig hebben en moeten consuminderen. Daar is nu een nieuwe ‘reden’ bij gekomen: ‘omdat we de klimaatdoelen niet gaan halen, moeten we boven op de transitie ook nog eens consuminderen. Een biefstuk per dag is toch genoeg?’ En wat heb je nu eigenlijk echt […]

Verspreiding van libertarische ideeën is geen eenvoudige zaak. Dit is mij door de jaren heen zeer duidelijk geworden. Zelfs met zeer overtuigende redeneringen is het vaak buitengewoon moeilijk, deze tot het brein van de medemens door te laten dringen. Men ontmoet bij deze pogingen zeer veel tegenstand, ongeïnteresseerdheid en ook wel animositeit. Berekeningen, grafieken, statistieken – als […]
