"C.S. Lewis’ Fantasy is Our Reality"
*"C.S. Lewis’ Fantasy is Our Reality"* by William Kilpatrick "George Orwell’s prophetic novel "1984" has often been invoked for its ability to predict the increasingly arbitrary and tyrannical nature of our present society. But three years before the publication of "1984", another dystopian novel which was in some respects more prescient than Orwell’s appeared in English bookstores. Like "1984", only on a smaller scale, C.S. Lewis’s "That Hideous Strength" describes a descent into tyranny that bears an eerie resemblance to our current situation. However, Lewis foresaw a few things ... read more

The End Game for Silver Shenanigans…
I do not think most of you care to much about the silver market. Or that it may be rigged. We can observe that regulators who investigate do so until they get a better offer and soon become insiders. Really just business as usual. This does mean the the whole gag ends up been run with the intelligence of an amoeba and someday we will see failed deliveries. After all it is wonderful to sell something you never own and keep the money forever. The problem is that silver and gold cannot really go out of business so that open interest never disappears.

Does dew provide water to plants?I had hoped for some new measurements here but no luck. What i am consious of is that plant life puts a huge amount of water directly into the atmosphere and generally gets it back through rain and dew. So absorbing the dew is something that always mattered and more so even in the beginning. Also anyone who has walked through a grass field with the dew on the ground knows just how wet you get. My point is that dew alone can sustain a soil microclimate at least. Maybe not the trees, but pou get my point. So it is not too hard to imagine the Sahara becoming another Amazon by ev... read more
