The Mark Twain House and Museum: One of the Best Historic Homes in the World

Posted on by

Mark Twain himself described his home as “something between a Mississippi steam boat and a cuckoo clock.” Built in 1874, the mansion was carefully designed by the New York architect Edward Tuckerman Potter. The Twains were much involved in the design and construction of the home where they were to spend 17 years. During that period, Twain wrote his best-known works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.

Latest Supply Chain Crisis Could Threaten Global Stash Of Food, Energy

Posted on by

Barges are a quick and easy way to export agricultural goods. One 15-barge tow can carry the same amount of freight as two 108-car freight trains or a whopping 1,050 semi-trucks, according to the American Waterways Operators, which describes itself as “the tugboat, towboat and barge industry’s advocate, resource and united voice.”

Why The World Economic Forum’s Plutocracy Should Be Dissolved

Posted on by

It is not just kings, generals, and popes who possess great power. Wherever a person, group, or institution is capable — through enticement, coercion, or brute force — of bending an individual’s free will, the structures and instruments of power exist. A local school board, after all, may well have more immediate and intimate influences over a person’s family than the United Nations Human Rights Council and its revolving door of despots who tend to promulgate international resolutions shielding their own crimes.

For citizens to reclaim power, they must not only embrace the basics of free markets once again but also rekindle a fondness for questioning the motivations of political authorities.

The Secret Scottish Pyramid in Cairngorms National Park

Posted on by

One of the best walks in the Cairngorms National ParkThis road climbs for a short time before splitting into 3, at which point you’ll head to the right (not the distillery route). Over the small bridge, take the left road past a row of pretty stone houses until you reach a small guard post. From here, the guard pointed us up the woodland path on the left. This forest path will lead you past one of the smaller cairns, and all the way to the top of the hill.  Here you’ll find Prince Albert’s cairn. This walk route is one of the most beautiful (and peaceful) in the Cairngorms, with a few natural stop points along the way to allow rest from the uphill climb. The route can be slippery during wet weather, so be sure to bring good footwear.

The ‘Great Reset’: A Blueprint For Destroying Freedom, Innovation, & Prosperity | ZeroHedge

Posted on by

Wealthy free nations are a threat to the WEF’s New World Order. If censorship must be embraced to control the “narrative,” then so be it. If citizens must be denied freedom of movement under the guise of a “health emergency,” no big deal. If private bank accounts must be seized to intimidate protesters, then such threats are the price for ensuring compliance. In this way, the WEF’s plans for a controlled economy intentionally reverse centuries of liberal progress. Political leaders today are dragging the West into the past.
