Transition of the industrialised countries of the temperate zone into a post-fossil-fuel world "The first half of the oil age now closes...It lasted 150 years and saw the rapid expansion of industry, transport, trade, agriculture and financial capital, allowing the population to expand six-fold. The second half now dawns, and will be marked by the decline of oil and all that depends on it, including financial capital." - Colin Campbell, co-founder of the Oil Depletion Analysis Centre The Human Animal has burnt most of the black sunlight from long ago For the last 2,000,000 years or so we were literally wild animals, gathering and hunting food, living in rock or vegetation ...

St. Patrick's Day – Celebrating the Green St. Patrick is believed to have driven the snakes from Ireland. Once a pagan himself, St. Patrick is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. The modern secular holiday is based on the original Christian saint's feast day also thought to be the date of the saint's death. In 1737, Irish immigrants to the United States began observing the holiday publicly in Boston and held the first St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City in 1766. Today, the tradition continues with people from all walks and heritages by wearing green, eating Irish food, and attending parades. St. Patrick's Day is bursting with folklore; from ...

The site of the single bloodiest day in American history is under siege — threatened by a 120-foot cell phone tower, says a preservation group. The vast field in western Maryland is where the Battle of Antietam was fought on Sept. 17, 1862. It's one of the 10 most endangered Civil War battlefields, according to an annual report released Wednesday from the Civil War Preservation Trust. The list includes other historic sites in Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee. "In almost all cases, it is suburban sprawl that threatens these battlefields," said Jim Lighthizer, president of the trust. "We're not against development, but ...

Mysterious pits shed light on forgotten witches of the West Simon de Bruxelles Evidence of pagan rituals involving swans and other birds in the Cornish countryside in the 17th century has been uncovered by archaeologists. Since 2003, 35 pits at the site in a valley near Truro have been excavated containing swan pelts, dead magpies, unhatched eggs, quartz pebbles, human hair, fingernails and part of an iron cauldron. The finds have been dated to the 1640s, a period of turmoil in England when Cromwellian Puritans destroyed any links to pre-Christian pagan England. It was also a period when witchcraft attracted the death sentence. Jacqui Woods, leading the excavations, has not traced any ...
Inflation Fools a Lot of People

"Inflation fools a lot of people. Like the proverbial frog in the pot set to boil, they don’t pay attention to the slow, inexorable erosion of their buying power over time. If you earn $100,000 per year today, you may feel OK about your middle-class lifestyle, but that pre-tax money only had the buying power of $39,037 in 1980, and $16,486 in 1968, roughly my father’s gross earnings that year."
Poster Comment:My parents were high-school dropout, although they later got their worthless GEDs. My father was a general contractor who built houses, and my mother an admitting clerk in the ER. I remember my dad making $14,000 in 1968, and the house cost $14,000. I never lacked ...

The allied also used postcards and feldpost for their purposes. You can see examples in this slide and the next. Here you see the front and back of a postcard with the face of Party member Dr. Walter Scheiber. The title under it is 'This german man is free'. On the back a description is given of the meaning of the title. It states to the normal German citizen that party members like Scheiber are free from front duties, free from rationing, and so on. All things the 'normal' Germans were suffering from. Very special of this card is the affixed 'FORGED' stamp. In fact, Delmer and his men made different types of forged stamps of which this is a good example. These ...

The Original Taiwanese Until just four centuries ago, the main island of Taiwan was home to mainly Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) peoples. Although they have left no written records or reliable oral history of their origins, archeological evidence indicates that their ancestors came to the main island of Taiwan several thousand years ago (see chapter 2, "People and Language"). Beginning in the early 17th century, lowland tribes were inexorably driven into the island's mountainous interior, overwhelmed by alien conquerors from both Europe and Asia, and by wave upon wave of immigration of Han peoples fleeing poverty and war in China. Over the centuries, many indigenes have ...

Hillbillies and Arabs

One of the few ethnic groups people still feel free to make fun of without being instantly banished to outer un-p.c. darkness is hillbillies - i.e., the descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants who still hang their (worn out, floppy) hats in rural Appalachia. Wikipedia's "Hillbilly" article even includes an amusing (and rather affectionate) section on "the hillbilly stereotype." Consider, if you will, a couple of the entries under that heading: (1) Inbred and incestuous. (2) Often fight each other along family lines. This is known as a "feud." [thanks for explaining that, Wikipedia!] Now, obviously, (1) and (2) are related. When everybody's marrying ...
The Golden Age of Islam is a Myth

The hatred of Western Civilization, and the corresponding urge to glorify anything outside it, especially if it can be depicted as a victim of the West, is a well-known phenomenon of the contemporary liberal mind. One of the forms it has taken in recent years is the attempt to artificially inflate the historic achievements of other civilizations beyond what the facts support. The noble savage myth is a commonplace; what is more complex is the myth that has been bandied about concerning the supposed "golden age" of Islamic civilization during what we know as the Middle Ages. The myth of an Islamic Golden Age is needed by Islam’s apologists to save it from being damned by its ...

Cultural critic Jim Goad explains that the redneck and white trash stereotypes fit all of the traditional scapegoat requirements: rednecks and white trash have biological differences (buck toothed, inbred, and stupid); geographic and regional differences (rural areas and trailer parks); economic differences (sick, lazy, and dirty); cultural differences (loud, superstitious, and excessive); and moral differences (racist, violent, and alcoholic).

A new play suggests John Amery rebelled against his father's concealment of his Jewishness Vanessa Thorpe, arts and media correspondent Sunday February 17, 2008 The Observer The Oscar-winning writer Ronald Harwood is to re-examine a wartime story of treachery at the heart of the British establishment. Using fresh documentary evidence, his play will tell of the fate of the privileged Nazi sympathiser John Amery, the son of a Tory cabinet minister, who was hanged for treason in 1945. Harwood, who won a Bafta last weekend for his Oscar-nominated screenplay The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, has tried to solve the puzzle at the centre of the Amery case - a mystery that had troubled the ...

Canada sends ex-SS guard to Italy Seifert was an SS camp guard in Bolzano An 83-year-old former Nazi prison camp guard has been transferred to Italy to serve a life sentence for murder. Michael Seifert arrived in Rome from Canada where he had been fighting a battle against extradition. An Italian military tribunal convicted him in absentia in 2000 of 11 murders at a prison camp in the northern city of Bolzano. Seifert admits to having been a guard at the camp but denies being involved in atrocities. Seifert arrived shortly before dawn from Toronto on a military jet. The military prosecutor behind the case, Bartolomeo Constantini, described him as "a ...
Scots-Irish Shaped America, But Did They Make It Free?

Long dismissed as rednecks, crackers, and hillbillies, the Scots-Irish--also known as Scotch-Irish, Ulster Scots, or Borderers, because they hailed from Northern Ireland and the border counties of Scotland and England--have provided a disproportionate share of America's political leaders, military brass, writers, and musicians. As an ethnic group, James Webb argues in Born Fighting, they "did not merely come to America, they became America, particularly in the south and the Ohio Valley, where their culture overwhelmed the English and German ethnic groups and defined the mores of those regions." For Webb, a descendant of Scots-Irish immigrants who has written novels, fought ...

APOCALYPSE AT DRESDEN

The long suppressed story of the worst massacre in the history of the world.
If the British Commonwealth and the United States last a thousand years, men may say that this was their darkest hour.
Were all the crimes against humanity committed during World War II the work of Hitler's underlings? That was certainly the impression created by the fact that only Germans were brought to trial at Nüremburg. Alas! It is a false impression. We all now know that in the terrible struggle waged between the Red Army and the German Wehrmacht, the Russians displayed their fair share of insensate inhumanity. ...

You may not meet them among your circle of friends, but there are millions of Americans who fiercely believe we should nuke North Korea and Iran, seize the Middle East's oil, and replace the U.S. Constitution with the Christian Bible. They believe the United States will conquer the entire world and convert it to our notions of democracy and fundamentalist Christian religion. And that will happen says my Christian neo-conservative friend Dave Henderson, "when we elect a man with the balls to use our nukes." You may not believe me, and if you don't I cannot blame you for never having been exposed to such folks. Only an idiot or a masochistic observer of the American scene ...

How The Banksters Ensured US WWII Intervention (How Americans Were Hoodwinked Once Again) By Henry Makow, PhD 2-10-8 After Britain's humiliating retreat from Dunkirk June 4, 1940, Winston Churchill defiantly declared, "We shall fight on the beaches...we shall never surrender..." His confidence was based on his certain knowledge the United States would back Britain to the hilt.The vast majority of Americans were against intervention. But a covert British propaganda and "dirty tricks" campaign, employing almost 1000 people in NYC (mostly Brits and Canadians), had hijacked democracy with the full cooperation of the FDR administration. It illustrates how London-based ...
