Speaking next to visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Washington, Obama contended that the 12-country trade deal will “level the playing field” and benefit workers in the U.S. and Japan. Some officials in the U.S. and abroad—including members of Obama’s Democratic party—have voiced opposition to a potential agreement.   Continue reading “Obama: US, Japan will lead TPP partners to swift conclusion of trade talks”

Conflicting reports that a U.S. cargo ship may or may not have been seized by the Iranian military in the Persian Gulf roiled markets on Tuesday morning.

The Pentagon later reported that the Maersk Tigris did not have any U.S. citizens aboard and was traveling through the Strait of Hormuz when the incident occurred.

Al Arabiya, the Saudi news network, initially reported that a U.S. vessel has been fired on and steered to the Bandar Abbas port by Iran. Iran’s Fars News Agency also reported that an “American trade vessel” had been confiscated.   Continue reading “Iranian forces have boarded the Marshall Island- flagged Maersk Tigris- Pentagon”

Go on to any gun forum, and it won’t take you long to find people willing to tell you how great the M14 is. How accurate,like a laser, tough as tool steel with no need to baby it or clean it. Powerful as a bolt of lightening, and  how well loved it was by those early users who refused the M16 because they wanted a “real” weapon made of wood and steel…. ..     But, is all that really true?  Maybe it is a triumph of nostalgia over common sense and reality.   One truth is, it was never really liked as much as people think they remember.   Continue reading “The M14, Not Much For Fighting ( A Case Against The M14 Legend )”

In the midst of the news media coverage of the Hillary Clinton emails, her private Internet server, her thumbing her nose at government regulations and allegations that her and her husband’s “charity” was involved in shady deals, no one except for public-interest groups is asking about an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigation.

Food produced in the radioactive exclusion zone around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant could already be on store shelves around the world, experts have warned.

In March 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami triggered multiple meltdowns at the Japanese plant. Explosions ejected massive quantities of radioactive material into the air, much of which settled onto the surface of the earth around the plant. There is concern that food produced in this region could have absorbed some of this radioactive material, thereby posing a risk of cancer and other health problems to people who consume it.   Continue reading “Is radioactive food from Fukushima being sent to your grocery store?”

Paper currency, or cash, is a fairly recent man-made, really a bank made, concept. As I’ve covered previously, paper money is a convenience of a modern society, but many things have acted as money throughout history. Throughout most of history, outright bartering of goods and services was the way of the world. We’ve used feathers, gold, beads, “tally sticks”, coins, and now paper currency to transmit value from one person to another. And much like the newspaper has been replaced by the Internet version of your newspaper, paper money is getting sent to Evolution’s Scrap Yard, courtesy of your central banking system’s design on capital controls.   Continue reading “Cash Bans Grow as Central Bankers Plan Centralized Future: Bitcoin to the Rescue?”
