| A Monday Morning Musing from Mickey the Mercenary Geologist"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about.

Introduction to Economic Sophisms  |
| My design in this little volume is to refute some of the arguments that are urged against the freedom of trade.
I do not propose to engage in a contest with the protectionists; but rather to instill a principle into the minds of those who hesitate because they sincerely doubt.
I am not one of those who say that protection is founded on men's interests. I am of the opinion rather that it is founded on errors, or, if you will, upon incomplete truths. Too many people fear liberty to permit us to coThursday, August 6, 2020 |

| ‘Global Warming’ In The Sahara Desert: ‘We Woke Up To See SNOW!’ |
| It snowed 16 inches in the Sahara Desert near the town Ain Sefra in Algeria after a storm hit on Sunday. This is the third time in 40 years that snow has fallen on the city.
Residents also awoke to snow in 2016 and 2017. But this time, they got about 16 inches of the white stuff. While the actual town of Ain Sefra only saw a few inches of snow, the sand dunes in the desert, which is on the outskirts of the town, were covered.
“We were really surprised when we woke up to see snow again. It stayeThursday, January 18, 2018 |

An investigation has started, but so far he has not been charged. The investigation is unlikely to conclude before the election. Should Fillon win, he will have presidential immunity.

| ‘White’ Philosophers Next Ban At College: “A Real Danger Of Political Correctness Out of Control” |
| “Rather ridiculous” … and ultimately quite dangerous.
Apparently, there is no end to the stupidity… especially at centers of higher learning.
In the quest for diversity, fair representation and perhaps payback, some racially-minded education reformers are now attempting to erase philosophers like Plato and Kant from the curriculum – because they are ‘white.’
Never mind that some of these minds are foundational to knowledge as we know it, or the direction of western society.
They are white.

| OPEC's Output Freeze: What Has Changed Since Doha |
| It's possible that OPEC is crying wolf with hints of an output freeze next
month in Algiers; but it's also possible that they are ramping up production
to take the sting out of a freeze. This is a delicate balancing act that the
Saudis need to play very carefully.
The official chatter is that the OPEC meeting in Algeria from September 26
to 28 could conclude with an agreement to freeze production by the member nations,
with even Russia joining forces in a freeze that may prevent furtheWednesday, August 24, 2016 |

| How Will Brexit Impact the Gold Market A Historical Perspective |
| We know why Britons voted to leave the EU and what the UK’s options outside the EU are. Now, let’s analyze how Brexit could affect the gold market. We covered this topic in the latest edition of the Market Overview, as well as the daily updates of the Gold News Monitor, but today we will examine how the shiny metal performed during the past disintegrations of economic unions.
There are many examples of break-ups or exits from monetary unions (since 1945, more than sixty distinct countries or terFriday, August 19, 2016 |

| First quarter 2016/17: Alstom continues its organic growth |
| 'Alstom booked only small contracts during the first quarter 2016/17. The low level of orders does not reflect the commercial activity that has been very strong and should translate into orders in coming quarters. For example, the projects for the extension of the Dubai metro or for regional trains for Italy recently announced have not yet been booked. Sales grew by 7% organically compared to the first quarter 2015/16 thanks to achievement of several project milestones.', said Henri Poupart-LafaWednesday, July 13, 2016 |
