As I was working developing a website and blog for a friend’s business, something occurred to me. It was just a minor observation, but one that got me thinking and you might find it interesting. It is something that has probably, at least fleetingly, come to the mind of everyone who keeps a blog – [...]
This is an election year and there are plenty of people who at this point realize that the US President is largely a figurehead, as are pretty much all the others, and who will tell you that it really doesn’t matter who is elected, the outcome, essentially speaking, is largely the same. The same, in [...]
As a timely follow up to my recent post Against Patents, I thought it might be appropriate to show an example of how the little sister of patent monopoly, copyright, is abused. One of the worst copyrighting ideas is the idea of licensing where you as an individual pay for something but you nevertheless don’t [...]
I am continuously working to improve the pages over at illumicharts.com. To that end, I have now added new permalink “about” pages that include some explanation about each chart and/or my views about it. Check out the one for the Dow/Gold Zoom. Since the first collection of charts that went up on ridethegoldbull.com a lot [...]
A friend of mine recently sent me an article regarding a possible breakthrough in the cause of Bee Colony Collapse (Zombie Fly Parasite Killing Honeybees, Yahoo News, January 4, 2012). Some of you may remember that back in 2009 a friend and I published a paper called Honey bee colony collapse disorder is possibly caused [...]
2012 has begun. You may be prepared for disaster, but are you prepared for good fortune?
I thought this very well done video from the Corbett Report would make a good follow up to yesterday’s post The Marketing of Establishment Propaganda. James Corbett is an excellent reporter and I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen his work to check out his website and podcasts. He lists transcripts and sources for all his [...]
The Generalist has a new look! Finally! Ok, ok, it took a little goading on the part of a friend of mine, but here it is. Do let me know if you encounter any problems. I will be tweaking as I discover little issues. Also, there will be new posts and articles coming soon, too!
In addition to the usual weekly updates of the Dow/Gold Zoom, How Low Dow, How Low Dow 70s, and Commercial Paper, there are a few new charts appearing on Illumicharts.com that will be updated on roughly a weekly basis. They are: How High Gold and How High Gold 2012 (about these charts) Dow Priced [...]
I love this one from Infowars: She makes a great point, actually…. buuuuut… science by definition must be falsifiable – i.e., you have to be able to disprove it. So what exactly WOULD disprove “Global Warming”? Well… NOTHING WOULD! And that’s why, Rachel, “Global Warming” is NOT science!
Recently I wrote a quick post about the FDA in relation to a TV show on Animal Planet called I’m Alive. I received a couple of comments, but one of them requires a little more explanation so I’ve decided to answer it as a post. First, the title of that article is “Yet another example [...]
My friend Richard died this year in January. Shortly after his death I submitted a paper he had written for publication in a scientific journal called Bioscience Hypotheses. The editors were interested, but they had questions. As I had contributed somewhat to Richard’s ideas, I was familiar with them and I felt I could refine [...]
So I’ve been sick for a few days (swine flu?) and have been staying home and going stir crazy. Lack of exercise and the general misery of being sick have meant a lot of late night TV for me. Last night, for the first time, I got a chance to see the new Animal Planet [...]
On the path to enlightenment there are a lot of people who, for whatever reason, want to keep you from the truth and they have a few ingenious techniques for doing so. One of these goes like this: Present a little bit of truth along with a lot of falsehood and the truth will easily [...]
From my high school years to the years I spent at Rutgers University studying biology, I have been told that “evolution has no direction.” At first, I accepted this notion, although I always felt that there was something wrong with it. While it’s true that beings do not evolve to a specific end, they most [...]
