Today, we are proud to announce the unveiling of The Freedom and Power Forum. That's right! A place where all refugees from political nightmares can gather and share their thoughts without being afraid of prosecution, persecution or simply poor taste.
This is the culmination of 10 years of R&D, billions of SEK spent, millions of man/woman-hours, hundreds of people and a few untimely deaths (not our fault).
Well.... not really,…

You have been warned. Repeatedly. The world is full and we are very sorry but you will have to get off in the next station. Where you go from there is none of our business.
This seems to be the mantra of many ecological groups nowadays, groups that, surprise, surprise, advocate for "responsible" and "sustainable" growth in order to avoid (or at least delay) the inevitable catastrophe. And how do…

Yes, it sounds like the title of a cheap low-budget movie, alas it is not. We are deadly serious. As you may remember (probably not), in our article Solving Country Defaults Through Printing, we stumbled across a debt limit (the Default Point) which empirically indicates a debt level at which countries seem to begin to default. This number expressed as Debt over Real GDP is about 1500%. This discovery spawned…

A few days back, a glorious new budget was introduced in New Zealand by the fearless leader Mr. John Key. Luckily enough, we don't reside in New Zealand so we are not forced to use his political title of "The Right Honorable" even more because we have no proof that he is either "right" or "honorable" (for all we know he may be "left" and "not-so-honorable", but will reserve judgment…

A report from the newspaper The Morning Paper-Iceland indicates that an abuser of a minor was caught and sentenced. The article is short and it is called "Violated twice a 12 year old girl". We can already see all the spinning wheels from different political spectrums; so predictable:
The Right:
Too lenient. Current judges and laws are ridiculous. Nothing is too bad for this scum. They should be taken out and shot.…

The title of the article was "Job creation, equality top agenda of high-level conference" as published by The Jordanian Times. Every time you see the words "job creation" or "equality" or "high-level conference", you can rest assured it is going to be a gigantic waste of taxpayers' money for the benefit of current politicians and bureaucrats.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT
This meeting could not have turn out otherwise. It would seem that

A PERSONAL WAY OF LIFE
The contents
At a personal level, we do have a way of like we would like to preserve, even if only a small piece of it. So, at a personal level, what does "our way of life" mean? It means one, many or all of the following items:
- Our current beliefs
- Our current economic or financial conditions
- Our current education
- Our properties
- Our family
- Our…

Today we are going to explore (briefly) what is the meaning of the term "our way of life" and how far are we willing to go to defend it.
Every time politicians attempt to justify an aggression (be it internal or external), they invariable use "our way of life" as excuse. They were "threatening our way of life" or "our way of life was at stake" or "we had to…

THE COMMENTARY - CONT'D
The PA and the NIC
Knowing that politicians want to increase the population and also knowing that economic conditions will "deteriorate" (i.e. go down the drain), what are two useless government organizations to do? Well, to step-up of course!
Yet another basic rule of all government bureaucracies states that;
A busy organization is a useful organization.
It is not whatthey do what matters; is that…
