The Lost Revolution
By Anthony Hargus
I joined the Ron Paul meetup group because he, as I do, seems to believe that we need to duplicate what American Founders did – we need to redress grievances that have been festering and accumulating for more than two hundred and twenty years.
But my observations of Ron Paul group activities have left me with a measure of disappointment. While many in the liberty movement (not only Ron Paul supporters) are suggesting another…

Supreme Court Must End Drug Law Madness – End Plant Prohibitions
By Kent Welton
March 27, 2009
The cruel idiocy of the drug war is in full view today. The carnage is a direct result of drug laws outlawing the mere possession of nature’s own god-given, unadulterated, plant substances – i.e., marijuana and coca leaves, and mushrooms, etc.
To outlaw nature in this fashion, and prohibit every other human being’s right to nature’s pharmacopeia, you first…

Wednesday afternoon, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents arrived at Emmalyn's California Cannabis Clinic in San Francisco's South of Market district, confiscating marijuana plants, lights, and other cultivation equipment as about a dozen…

Nearly everyone knows that white flour is not healthy for you, but most people don’t know that when white flour is bleached, it can actually be FAR worse for you.
It’s generally understood that refining food destroys nutrients. With the most nutritious part of the grain removed, white flour essentially becomes a form of sugar. Consider what gets lost in the refining process:
Half of the beneficial unsaturated fatty acids
Virtually all of the…

The petite Eskimo-Chugach woman gave me that you-dumb-ass-white-boy look.
"Gail, Gail. STICK YOUR DAMN HAND IN IT!"
She stuck it in, under the gravel of the beach at Sleepy Bay, her village's fishing ground. Gail's hand came up dripping with black, sickening goo. It could make you vomit. Oil from the Exxon…

Russell's DOW THEORY daily commentary

Faye read this site and said, "it's too disjointed. You're all over the place. Stick with one or two concepts." My answer, "I can't. I have too many items I want to talk about."
I've written in the past that if you want to make 'BIG' money in the market, you have to take an over-sized position and be dead right on the trend. The last time I did that was in late-1958. I was very bullish on the market at that…

Clean Coal--The Ultimate Oxymoron
By Sara Nichols
March 19, 2009
A little over a year ago, I was in West Virginia driving slowly behind my husband. He was on his bike near the end of his cross-country bike race. As you can imagine, driving behind a bike never allowed me to go much over 10 miles per hour. So I did a lot of looking around. The two lane road took us through a lush, green forest that felt almost primordial. From my interest in…

While the economic contraction is apparently slowing in the advanced industrial countries and may reach bottom in the not-too-distant future, it's only beginning to gain momentum in the developing world, which was spared the earliest effects of the global meltdown. Because the crisis was largely precipitated by a collapse of the housing market in the United States and…
