Midweek Reading: Exorbitant Privilege Edition
I’ve been reading some really interesting posts on FOFOA’s blog, namely Inflation or Hyperinflation? and Peak Exorbitant Privilege. These posts go over the banking system, the role of the US dollar in the world economy, and the gradual withdrawing of political and ancillary support from the USD as the world’s reserve currency. Based on the latest numbers, the [...]
Why Are Environmentalists Against North American Oil & Gas?
I don’t understand why environmentalists are supporting regimes that are well-known for their corruption and human-rights abuses, like Iran or Venezuela.

Perhaps excessive regulation and cronyism has something to do with it. My host, a NASA engineer turned Silicon Valley entrepreneur, has just conducted a fascinating tour of [...]

Most people probably have not heard of American Samoa, or what has been happening there. It is a small island located tens of thousands of miles away from the continental United States, and has a small economy with a high rate of unemployment and a low level of income per capita.

Media Censorship and Ignorance of Ron Paul
One of the more disgusting behaviors on the part of the media regarding Ron Paul has been their consistent bashing, slandering, distorting, lying, and outright censorship of Dr. Ron Paul and his views, with few exceptions. Check out this video. The Iowa caucus 2008 was huge news, and regarded as political history and as a [...]

It is now 2012, and the ban on incandescents in the United States has started. Many other countries have their own bans either already in place or planned. Canada was planned to start in 2012, but has delayed the ban due to environmental concerns over the disposal of compact fluorescents (CFLs). What are the phase-out [...]
