Quit the EU.

To those who didn't know, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and European Union have said that it is a violation of human rights to 1) give life sentences (forget about death sentences), 2) bar convicted criminals in prison from voting, and 3) deport criminal illegal immigrants with families in the country.

Imagine someone murdered your children in front of you.  Now imagine that not only can you not seek the death penalty, but you can't even seek life in prison.  Wow!

Some in the UK are upset about this, as they should be, but it seems like most of the government is going along with all of this BS.  I used to respect the UK.  I have very little left for it now (as a general concept.  Of course there are many great individuals who live there).

The EU is a crock, and I see it more and more.  And the UK has become a follower.  It's quite pathetic what a century has done.  It's like after WWII, people said to the UK, "You've owned much of the world for quite a while.  But how would you like to have control of your internal affairs dictated by a government overseas?"  Then, the UK responded, "Well that's a jolly good idea!" and decided over the next few decades to not only give up its colonies, but to also give up its own sovereignty and become a colony.  That's how I think of the UK now.

To European countries that haven't joined the EU yet such as Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Turkey and some former Yugoslavian countries, I say stay out...for your own good.  The EU does not equal Europe.  You might think that you're "cool" if you're part of the club, but I think it's best to stay out.  Don't give up your sovereignty.

 Below is a link to an article about some of these things:

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...

It's Probably Time to Buy Silver

I believe that now is a good time to start buying silver (or to buy more if you already have some). From around 2000 to 2008, silver had a huge run up in price.  Then, in mid-2008, the price fell until the end of the year, when it started to rebound.  From late 2008 until 2011, it had a huge run up, going from around $10 to nearly $50.  But from May 2011 until the present, the price has fallen again to about $20. It seems like a silver bubble has burst.  However, there are reasons why silver should outperform other investments in the future. Right now, the price of silver is at a "support level".  This is a price which was hard to break through on the way up, and is also hard to break through on the way down.  I don't believe that it will go down (substantially) from here.  Instead, I think that it will be pretty much all up.  (This price increase may start next month or later, but it will occur.)  Why do I think so? Mining prices hav...

The Dark Side of the Women's March

The recent Women's March, which took place in Washington and numerous other cities one day after the inauguration of President Trump, may go down as the largest protest in American history. Millions showed up to these events to advocate for women's issues and to protest against Donald Trump. While very few would find fault in a women's march in and of itself, upon inspecting this women's march further, some disturbing information comes to light. The Women's March was thankfully quite peaceful, unlike Inauguration Day when the group Antifa (the "anti-fascists"), although stymied by the police, were ironically able to carry out their own mini "Kristallnacht" (or rather, "Kristalltag"), smashing windows and setting fires in broad daylight. The Women's March appears to have been non-violent and there were apparently no arrests. However, problems start to manifest themselves when we look at the people who set up and spoke at th...
