An Objectivist Individualist – by Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D.

The media, even Fox News, is generally calling the 13% reduction in government spending a SHUTDOWN of the GOVERNMENT.  This is surely an exaggeration.  Perhaps in a society whose government-run and funded schools have long exaggerated student achievement with grade inflation, this is to be expected.  A society that has long inflated the ability of government to solve problems and do it much better than individuals can by managing their own lives, is bound to be terrified by a mere 13% reduction in government spending.   Continue reading “13% Spending Reduction Is Called a Shutdown?”

A wall of clouds roared into Houston today, one day after the sky had fallen upon parts of Montana, leading the Houston Chronicle to claim that “those alleged government-controlled weather machines aren’t affected by the (government) shutdown.” What is going on with our atmosphere recently? It’s great to hear the Houston Chronicle bringing up weather modification within the MSM. An interesting new video report below shares how the ‘illuminati’ are now using HAARP and weather mod to help them achieve their goals of a New World Order and more pictures also below.   Continue reading “Houston Chronicle Goes Conspiracy Theory With ‘Government Controlled Weather’ Story”

The US Forest Service, under pressure apparently from the White House, has reversed both its historical precedent as well as its position yesterday and will close over 1000 public parks and campgrounds that are operated by private companies without using one dime of public money.  Why does the fact that our landlord the US Forest Service is going on an unpaid vacation mean that tenants of theirs have to close up shop too?  We have no idea.   Continue reading “Its Official: US Forest Service Closing over 1000 Privately-Funded Parks”

With the current shortage of ammunition and the consequent high prices, it makes more sense now than ever before to learn how to reload your own fired brass casings.  I even suspect that in the future, this may well be the only way for the ordinary citizen to obtain ammunition. It’s not at all difficult, it only requires a little understanding of the process, and the ability to follow directions. This will become very important later, as each caliber requires its own set of powders, charges, primers, and bullets. No one can learn them all, there are millions of potential combinations. But the data has already been compiled for you in hundreds of tables in loading manuals(more on these later…) and on the Internet.  Continue reading “Loading Your Own Ammunition”

UNITED STATES (The Borowitz Report)—Millions of Tea Party loyalists fled the United States in the early morning hours today, seeking what one of them called “the American dream of liberty from health care.”

Harland Dorrinson, 47, a tire salesman from Lexington, Kentucky, packed up his family and whatever belongings he could fit into his Chevy Suburban just hours before the health-insurance exchanges opened, joining the Tea Party’s Freedom Caravan with one goal in mind: escape from Obamacare.   Continue reading “Millions Flee Obamacare”
