"America’s Caesar"
*"America’s Caesar"* By Bill Bonner "The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit." Proverbs 18:11 ‘Render unto Caesar’ is how we began yesterday’s note. Today, we dig deeper to answer a Dear Reader’s challenge. Caesar should call the shots in trade, he says. This discussion (today and tomorrow) will help us connect a number of dots…and possibly glimpse at the future, too.

Global Climatic Event Leads To New Geologic Time Scale, The Late Holocene Meghalayan Age
Around 2,200 B.C, agricultural societies around the world experienced an abrupt cooling and a critical mega-drought. Humans had been progressing nicely since the end of the last Ice Age, and suddenly this cooling, and accompanying droughts, forced the collapse of civilizations in Egypt, Greece, Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and the Yangtze River Valley, which led to migrations and regenerations in other areas. Evidence of this period, now called the 4.2 kiloyear climatic event, has been found on all seven continents and it has become the reason for the most recen... more »

Foreign Policy After Trump: The U.S. Has Homework to Do
How, exactly, should internationalists prepare to repair the damage of the Trump era? Many of us are rightly preoccupied with trying to limit or prevent damage in the moment, and longer-term challenges may not get the analytic attention they deserve.

“Sunlight ripples through a dark sky on this Swedish summer midnight as noctilucent or night shining clouds seem to imitate the river below. In fact, the seasonal clouds often appear at high latitudes in corresponding summer months. Also known as polar mesospheric clouds, they form as water vapor is driven into the cold upper atmosphere. *Click image for larger size.* Fine dust supplied by disintegrating meteors or volcanic ash provides sites where water vapor can condense, turning to ice at the cold temperatures in the mesosphere.

“Why Space and Time Might Be an Illusion”
*“Why Space and Time Might Be an Illusion”* by George Musser "This past fall, the world of physics celebrated the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which forms the foundation of our modern understanding of the force of gravity. Einstein’s creation has been the ultimate antidote to a blasé, seen-it-all attitude that sometimes infects even scientists. It opened up a universe that never ceases to surprise — black holes, the big bang, dark energy, gravitational waves — jolting us out of the grooves of thought that we fall into all too easily. Yet the... more »
"No Way To Be..."
"Never shy away from opportunity and wholehearted living. Never be fearful of putting yourself out there. The courageous may encounter many disappointments, experience profound disillusionment, gather many wounds; but cherish your scars for they are the proud emblems of a truly phenomenal life. The fearful, cautious, cynical and self-repressed do not live at all. And that is simply no way to be in this world." - Anthon St. Maarten

The One Thing Health Conscious People Haven’t Been Told About Kerrygold Irish Butter
The popularity of butter has exploded lately as more and more people find out the truth about margarine, and how unhealthy it really is for the body. Margarine is a heavily processed, chemical-based “food” that only gained market share due to the false notion that low-fat diets are the key to health. In comparison, butter has been recognized recently as a healthy source of “good” saturated fats, when it comes from grass-fed cows as opposed to the (usually GMO) grain-fed ones that is. As far as the most popular brands of butter go, the new, unhealthy breed of “conventional” butter ... more »

Three More Shades of Grey
All things considered, I guess I should be grateful I wasn't hit by a semi. This happened last night right around the corner from our house at 6:07 last night. Don't let the pictures fool you. It was actually a lot darker at this time of night and thereby hangs a tale. I was about to make a left hand turn at a three way intersection, a turn I've successfully made literally thousands of times in the nine plus years I've been living in this neighborhood. After carefully looking both ways on a very rainy night, I finally judged it safe to turn and a second later, I saw a... more »
