Julian Assange has said that there are references to UFOs in some of the documents he is still holding, but he has not said what these documents may contain. Personally, I would be very surprised if any diplomatic documents contained more than a passing reference to UFOs, perhaps a disparaging comment about a world leader or other official who believed that they were real.

In fact, just as the original mortgages were worthless when bundled into securities because there was no way to determine their actual value, the foreclosed properties are worthless because there is no way to determine whether or not they have clear titles. So the inflated valuations cannot simply be lowered to more realistic levels. There is no realistic level.

Or explain it at all to a chimpanzee, but let’s hope that the gulf between us isn’t that great!

Western civilization is in the doghouse. Its popularity among intellectuals has dropped to an all-time low. To the far left, it’s invalidated by its historical prejudices. To the far right, it’s annoyingly insistent on freedom for all–even the far left.

Politicians give lip-service to freedom, but the enormous government bureaucracies that are characteristic of the developed world would prefer to replace choices with rules, which is actually a decivilizing process.

The most repressive western governmental bureaucracy was the National Socialist state of Germany. Under the Nazis, the rules even entered the bedroom.
