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.

HAGÂTÑA, Guam (PMM) - July 17, 2017 - As Guam prepares to celebrate Liberation Day this week, political leaders on the Pacific island say it is time to decide whether to remain a Fascist Police States of Amerika colony or become an independent nation.

CARACAS, Venezuela (PNN) - July 16, 2017 - Venezuela’s opposition called for a massive turnout Sunday in a symbolic rejection of President Nicolâs Maduro’s plan to rewrite the Constitution, a proposal that’s escalating tensions in a nation stricken by widespread shortages and more than 100 days of anti-government protests.

TUCSON, Arizona (PNN) - July 4, 2017 - Earlier this year, Navy SEAL Craig Sawyer blew the whistle on Elite pedophilia and revealed thousands of high-level pedophiles were being investigated by the Fascist Police States of Amerika government.

Despite a mainstream media blackout on the cases, Sawyer vowed to lift the lid on the child trafficking networks that are operating in Washington D.C. and throughout the Fascist Police States of Amerika and beyond.

TIJERAS, New Mexico (PNN) - July 10, 2017 - While there’s something disconcerting about having Big Brother listening in on family feuds, there is something to be said about smart devices alerting the terrorist pig thug cops when simple arguments turn into domestic disputes. The latter is what occurred at a home in New Mexico earlier this week, and authorities believe it may have played a life-saving role.

GENEVA, Switzerland (PNN) - July 7, 2017 - The Large Hadron Collider has once again done what it does best - smash bits of matter together and find new particles in the carnage.

This time physicists have come across a real charmer. It's four times heavier than a proton and could help challenge some ideas about how this kind of matter sticks together.

SHANGHAI, China (PNN) - July 1, 2016 - For the first time, scientists have successfully teleported a photon from the ground to a satellite in orbit.

It’s been 20 years since quantum scientists successfully teleported a photon over 10 miles, proving that quantum entanglement - a process that Albert Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” - was possible.

July 4, 2017 - As Independence Day comes around again we should spend a few moments between barbecue and fireworks to think about the meaning of Independence. The colonists who rebelled against the British Crown were, among other things, unhappy about taxation. Yet as economist Gary North points out, the total burden of British imperial taxation was about one-to-two percent of national income.

BARCELONA, Catalonia (PNN) - July 4, 2017 - Catalonia will declare independence immediately if a majority of the Spanish region's voters opt for independence in a Scotland-style referendum called for in October, its ruling coalition said Tuesday.
