Many who live in the desert southwest have seen local and state governments promoting “natural,” or “desert” landscaping as a replacement for traditional western-style green lawns and flower gardens. The campuses of most government universities in the southwest have replaced vast areas of green lawns with desert plants and weeds such as yucca. Now some …

Satellite data show thick ice has grown massively in the Arctic in only a year
Media experts continue to spread the myth that Arctic ice is rapidly melting.

Here is a story from the state of Washington about a true believer who found that “big green” groups weren’t supporting his carbon-tax ballot initiative.

Increasingly, government “services” are security checkpoints for the police state
Interesting essay by L. Reichard White on Lewrockwell.com. It seems that police departments are increasingly using the admissions counters at clinics and hospitals as warrant/security/background check stations.

Update on the Ship of Fools (2nd ed.): Crew Now Noticing that Government Maps are Lying about Arctic Ice
Virtually every government (and, consequently, every major newspaper) in the world has been promoting a narrative that 2016 is the “hottest year on record.” This collusion furthers and fosters a worldwide push for more powerful, centralized, socialistic governments.

AP reports that PAYDEX, an index that tracks how much time small businesses take to pay their bills, shows businesses are paying debts later and later. Small businesses are increasingly paying bills 30 or 45 days late. A 2014 study by Georgia Tech found that companies are taking …

Montana health insurers seek major rate increases for 2017
Obamacare and Medicare were pushed with claims they would bring health insurance prices down for poor people. Yet health care costs have increased faster than inflation every year for 30 years.

Democratic convention crowd chants ‘no more war’ at former CIA director Leon Panetta
Both of America’s government-supremacist parties have been led by overt warmongers for decades. The recent release of previously secret emails between high-level Democrats reveals that the Democratic Party rigged the Democratic Primaries to install yet another warmonger (Hillary Clinton) as the Party’s presidential nominee. Also, at this week’s Democratic National Convention, the Democrats gave a …
