An impressive year for Little Rocket Man.

The persecution of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, is now seven years old. Ecuador has protected Assange for the past half decade from being turned over to Washington by the corrupt Swedish and British for torture and prosecution as a spy by giving Assange political asylum inside the Ecuadoran Embassy in London.

Coveting and theft are the greatest threats to civilization. The latter, motivated by the former, undermines the fundamental arrangements that create civilization. Therefore, the essential function of government is to maintain the principle of “to each his own." Any time government fails to defend that principle from others’ invasions or commits theft itself, it impedes civilization.

New evidence that Washington broke its promise not to expand NATO “one inch eastward”—a fateful decision with ongoing ramifications—has not been reported by ‘The New York Times’ or other agenda-setting media outlets.

The January 11, 2018 meeting with several US Senators has been reported in many media outlets, including our own for the reported swearing and profanity the President used in the meeting. However, the real matter is what the meeting is about is quite important, and it is important to understand the direction the US President wishes to take on immigration policy going forward.
The story of refrigeration is a common one: from a task done by many servants to a luxury good, and to now a common household appliance used by all. This type of progress exists with nearly all household appliances; from ovens to irons, from washing machines to dishwashers, and from air conditioners to water heaters.
There are 5 counties-- or parts of counties-- within the boundaries of Florida's 11th district north of Tampa: Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Marion and Sumter. Retirees from Indiana, Ohio and Michigan drove down I-75 and settled here, a different breed of the retirees from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey who drove down the I-95 to Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
In the aftermath of Russiagate a group of Democratic Party Senators have published one of the most bizarre and disturbing reports ever to issue from the US Senate.
The best way to summarise it is to say that it takes every single charge which has ever been made against Vladimir Putin and Russia and repeats them whilst ignoring any evidence which contradicts them.

Economists are interested in how a monetary system based on Bitcoin compares to a gold-standard monetary system. Both Bitcoin and gold are stateless and both provide a base money that is reliably limited in quantity. However, Bitcoin and the gold standard are obviously different in other ways.

US President Trump created a DC media firestorm on Thursday, when he reportedly questioned the policy of the United States regarding bring people in from war-torn and very poor Third World nations, with very strong, and profane language.
“Why are we having all these people from s***hole countries come here?” the president reportedly barked during an Oval Office sitdown meeting that was attended by several members of Congress. Two people, unnamed, but claiming familiarity with the matter, reported this to the Washington Post.
It’s not like he hasn’t had precedent:
Let's have fun with this one. Internet commentator, Paul Romano, tells why he thinks the moon landing was a hoax. Scientists now working on a flight to Mars say it cannot be done until the problem of Van Allen Belt radiation is solved. The Van Allen Belt is a region of such intense radiation that it would be fatal for humans to pass through it without sufficient shielding. Scientists say there is no way to do that with present technology. Well, how about that! The Moon also is beyond the Van Allen Belt - way beyond.

The Scottish government is considering allowing refugees and non-EU citizens to vote in local and Scottish parliament elections. Scotland has led the way internationally by lowering the voting age to 16. Leaders say that linking citizenship to the right to vote is undemocratic. [Keep your eye on the ball, folks. These people are not stupid, but they think we are. What they really want is a one-world government without sovereign nations.
President Trump has reportedly expressed reservations about public-private partnerships, but White House economic advisor Gary Cohn is still enthusiastic about building the administration’s fabled infrastructure plan around them. Not everyone realizes, however, that there are two very distinct kinds of public-private partnerships; the good kind and the bad kind.
When bipartisan lawmakers presented President Trump with a DACA proposal that included restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries, Trump burst out, "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" He exclaimed that the United States should, instead, bring more people from countries like Norway. For that comment, Trump is being accused of being a racist - of course. [...]
A Twitter engineer says the US government pressures Twitter to take down some accounts. Another one says Twitter uses a "shadow ban", which blocks someone without them knowing it. They continue posting, but no one sees their content. Twitter prioritizes and sometimes mutes or blocks all Tweets before they are sent out. The name for this is censorship. The majority of algorithm filters are used against Republicans and those who use words like America, the Constitution, and God.

4Chan posted a document that allegedly came from the Friends of Democracy, founded by George Soros' son. The document, which has yet to be authenticated, shows that the Friends of Democracy planned the violent Baltimore protests in 2015, bused in and paid the protesters, colluded with law enforcement and tax firms, and intended the event to create conditions requiring a martial-law level of response. Click the link for my analysis to separate fact from fiction and an explanation of an old counter-intelligence trick.

The left’s fixation on reducing inequality is misguided. If they really care about the poor, they should focus on reducing poverty. Many folks on the left pursue policies that undermine prosperity and actually exacerbate inequality. I put together some examples back in 2015, and now it’s time to expand that list.
Kevin Kamps, Nuclear Waste Watchdog of Beyond Nuclear, talks with Margaret Harrington, Host of Nuclear Free Future, about the federal plan to transfer 40 years of Vermont Yankee nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is actively lobbying Congress to overturn existing law prohibiting federal interference in state medical-marijuana policy. As someone who believes in strong constitutional limits on federal power and the rights of patients to choose, I am deeply disappointed. And as a cancer survivor who wanted the choice for myself, I wonder: does Sessions have any idea what it’s like?
