The Monster Mash
The Monster Mash The sad reality is that last week’s Pittsburgh synagogue massacre is only the latest float in the long-running parade of ghastly homicidal spectacles rolling across this land and will be just as forgotten in one week as was last year’s Las Vegas Mandalay Bay slaughter of 58 concert-goers plus over 800 wounded […]
America’s Nuclear Death Wish – Europe Must Rebel

U.S. Completes Largest Ammo Shipment To Europe Since NATO Bombing Of Yugoslavia Is something big coming related to heightened tensions either with Russia, Iran, or Syria?

The biggest of big pictures
The biggest of big pictures I have had a request from Mrs Macleod to write down in simple terms what on earth is going on in the world, and why is it that I think gold is so important in this context. She-who-must-be-obeyed does not fully share my interest in the subject. An explanation of […]
Avoid the Slippery Slope
Avoid the Slippery Slope Everything government touches turns to crap. Ringo Starr Social media companies, search engines, and payments platforms are excising conservative, libertarian, and assorted anti-government voices. SLL argued in “The Friendly Faces of Fascism” that the largest and best known of these companies were essentially arms of the government. They are mechanisms for […]
