Fascist America, in 10 Easy Steps
April 27th, 2007I hate it when an otherwise good article contains rat poison, but that’s just the nature of the beast nowadays. Wolf writes, “Because Americans like me were born in freedom, we have a hard time even considering that it is possible for us to become as unfree…as many other nations,” and, “Of course, the United […]
System Planning Corporation Involved with Virginia Tech Investigation
April 26th, 2007System Planning Corporation is such a profoundly spooky outfit that it creeps me out just thinking about it. But I’m sure that it’s just another coincidence that one of DARPA’s largest contractors—a private company involved with some of the U.S. Government’s blackest projects—is involved with the investigation into the Virginia Tech shooting. Update #4 on […]
The 4-Hour Workweek
April 26th, 2007This book seemed ridiculous, at first glance, but as I read more, uhh… My wife and I seem to have implemented at least some of this, more out necessity and common sense than anything else. So, how much of this is really useful? Or is it more of that frightening Kiyosaki/Robbins/”Secret” clap trap KoolAid? The […]
U.S. Department of Defense Shills: Prepare for Alien Invasion
April 26th, 2007They managed to convince people that al-Qaeda is real. Why not shoot for the stars? How many billions of dollars would Lockheed Martin get to build space weapons to defend us from “the aliens”? Blackwater USA Space Command? Oh sure. Why not? Via: Daily Telegraph: WHEN the aliens finally invade Earth, you may wish you […]
Correspondence with Paul Tustain, Director of Bullion Vault
April 25th, 2007Here’s an interesting update to the Bullion Vault post. I wrote the following email to Paul Tustain, Director of Bullion Vault: Paul, My readers (and I) are concerned with the possibility that the U.S. regime could make gold ownership illegal again for Americans. Since you require fiat money transfers in and out of Bullion Vault […]
Wal-Mart to Open 400 In-Store “Health” Clinics
April 25th, 2007Will people show up to be diagnosed for diabetes and high blood pressure and then waddle over to the in-store eatery to dine on some tasty freedom fries, reconstituted chicken parts and 100% synthetic cheeze food? Wash it all down with a slurpee? Pick up prescriptions for ineffective and dangerous pharmaceuticals from the in-store pharmacy […]
The Plot Against the First Amendment
April 25th, 2007It was painful for me to quote the bits about the so-called, “freedom of the American press,” but if you can grit your teeth through that part, this is an interesting and terrifying piece. The U.S. doesn’t need D notices, for the most part. Editors are pretty good and censoring themselves. But fascists always want […]
New Cryptogon Sponsor: Financial Web
April 25th, 2007I’d like to thank Financial Web for their generous sponsorship of Cryptogon. Financial Web covers a very wide variety of topics, many of which we all have to deal with at some point or another. With financial matters, and overall strategic planning, my advice is: Get into a situation that eliminates your reliance on luck […]
What’s Toxic In Toyland
April 23rd, 2007Via: Time: They line the nursery section children’s toy stores like brightly colored candies: rubber duckies for bathtime, chewable rings for teething, soft-covered books for pawing and mouthing. Parents shopping for their babies can be forgiven if they assume that everything on those shelves is 100% child safe. So why did the city of San […]
Oblivion: National Survey Reveals More than 70% of Americans Don’t Know Plastic is Made from Oil
April 23rd, 2007The fact that some ADM-related thing purports to have “solutions” to the plastipocalypse just enhances the sense of oblivion that pervades these issues. On the one hand you have knuckle dragging people who will trample each other for bargains at WalMart, and on the other hand, you have ADM with “solutions.” In other news, 79% […]
