A revolution is part of the political world. A revolutionary’s approach is through politics. His understanding is that the structure of society is enough to change the human being.

A rebel, as I use the term, is a spiritual phenomenon. His approach is absolutely individual. His vision is if you want to change society you have to change the individual. Society in itself does not exist. It is only a word, like “crowd”.  Society is a collective name; just a name with no reality, no…

The Treasury Department released its semi-annual FX Report, which they say shows that no country in the world is at present manipulating currency and that is including China. This would be laughable if the American taxpayer had not paid for the report. The one thing that is confirmed is that the Chinese have established significant control over the US Treasury…

Generally speaking on life and human relations whether personal or business matters, I have come to believe that those who spend their time destroying the reputations of others in the shadows to make themselves look relatively superior will often find that their own house is on an unstable foundation. Do things the right way, create your own masterpiece and lovely home, and represent by example and if you truly live a great lifestyle then none of the other things matter and people will take…
