Don’t Go to Europe
No one should visit Europe. Certainly, no one from North or South America should go. You will not become more enlightened. In fact you may become more stupid. What you will get courtesy of the travel industry is a romanticized sweet tasting milkshake. What’s that you say? You’re going to Spain next week. You say…

Brexit Exit
What the British can do and must do is use this Brexit mess as an opportunity to reform Brussels. That’s where the smart money lies. There is a brilliant opening to do so. It works as simple as this: Dear EU, We the British would really prefer to stay, but we want a revised governmental…

Brexit Requires Courage
It is clear that this Brexit deal was badly managed.

Why We Lose
Have you ever wondered why we the regular people usually lose? We lose because a) so many of us don’t care, b) we aren’t organized, c) we underestimate our opponents, but mainly d) we are always reacting to what the elites are doing. Let’s take Brexit as an example. The LEAVE camp won the referendum…

Greek Love
The fallacy of the EU and why it was constructed – to make oodles of cash for the elites – was highlighted by the financial woes of Greece just a few years ago. The Greeks, like the people of New Orleans, are not known for savings and parsimony. We have the Germans for that. The…

The EU Will Fail
Ultimately this EU will fail. Brexit may not be the precipitating cause, but ultimately this EU will fail. It will do so for the same reason that all governments fail: failure to respond to the needs of the people. Whether a government be monarchy, democracy or theocracy, the leadership must respond to the needs of…
