I was reading something today that reminded me of Sir John Bagot Glubb. After studying eleven empires from the Assyrians in 859 B.C. to the British in 1950, he outlined the seven stages of empire which always unfold in the same way, from beginning to end. These stages are… The…
Andrew Carnegie was a very smart guy. In 1901, he became the richest man in the world when J.P. Morgan (1837-1913) purchased his company, Carnegie Steel, for some $480 million. One of the traits that made him so successful was his ability to think outside of the box and to…
What is this fourth industrial revolution? I started this series with The Fourth Industrial Revolution: World Economic Forum (Part 1), where I covered the organization and drive of the World Economic Forum (WEF). If you haven’t already, I recommend reading that piece before this one. In this post, I cover…
I still have not finished Part 2 of the fourth-industrial-revolution piece. As I read through the WEF’s projects and agenda, I can see the big picture clearly in accordance with my own world view, but I haven’t figured out how to share my insights and knowledge without personal bias and…

When I was growing up, journalism was very different than it is today. Walter Cronkite, an American broadcast journalist from my youth said, “In seeking truth you have to get both sides of a story.” I agree. As a truth seeker, I never presume one side is all wrong. I…
Today, I’m taking a different approach to getting real. I interviewed a good friend of mine, Mr. G, who will remain anonymous. I decided to stream this live on my Facebook page rather than take it to a private group. Mr. G’s biography is impressive… -Ivy League college graduate (Yale)…
So I’ve been thinking about Bitcoin again… The narrative of Bitcoin assumes that the cost of commodities and utilities will stay low. This assumes a high-valued stable U.S. dollar will continue to be the centerpiece of the financial system. If this assumption is false, Bitcoin will fail when things really…
