BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (PNN) - August 3, 2017 - Less than half the country trusts the media. Most people consider mainstream media a bunch of biased hacks who aren't to be trusted. In this increasingly acrimonious environment, it's hard to know what to believe.

You might think I'm referring to the Fascist Police States of Amerika, but I'm talking about Argentina.

CARACAS, Venezuela PNN) - July 25, 2017 - You may recall a bizarre incident that occurred last month in Venezuela.

A rogue terrorist pig thug cop by the name of Oscar Perez, who is also well known in Venezuela for starring in several B-rated action movies, commandeered a helicopter before dropping grenades on the nation’s Supreme Court building and strafing the Interior Ministry with gunfire. It was without a doubt the strangest moment to come out of that nation’s ongoing civil unrest.

July 17, 2017 - Sometimes I wish that my soapbox was just a little bit taller.

Over the past two or three decades, I have more-or-less accidentally made a number of historically significant predictions in various of my books and essays that have turned out to be correct. For example, in 1977, in my first novel, The Probability Broach, I predicted the Internet, wall-sized computer/television screens, laptop/tablets, computer-aided forensics, and laser designators for handguns. Some time around the same period, I talked about what would become known as the “Strategic Defense Initiative” or “Star Wars” (in an article for Reason/Frontlines, and I predict now that the concept is coming around again). In 1981, in The Gallatin Divergence, I said that the Marxist regime in Russia would not survive to celebrate its 100th anniversary. My editor at the time, supposedly an expert on Soviet affairs, dismissed that as “wishful thinking”. In numerous books and articles, I insisted that Global Warming is a crooked scam, that the very notion of “peak oil” was absurd, and that our species would be far better off emphasizing travel to and exploitation of the Asteroid Belt than the Moon or Mars.

For the past few years, there has been a disturbing trend in schools all across Amerika where administration officials have attempted to silence those who want to talk about their Christian faith.
