ALBANIA IN AMERICA |

Tirana, Albania. I had a private dinner with an extraordinary
man last night (10/09) - just the two of us with one of his key advisors. Albania
is very fortunate to have Dr. Sali Berisha (he's a physician with a specialty
in heart surgery) as its Prime Minister.
He's a man of immense erudition and learning who is street
wise in the ways of the world, having dealt with every major leader on the
planet for years. The country he admires
above all others is America.
In this, he speaks for the great majority of Albanians. Albania
is probably the most pro-American country on earth today.
Yet it was a strange and scary experience to hear him relate
the recent history of Albania
- for at one point he seemed to be describing that of America's
instead. What I really hoped he wasn't
describing was the history of America's
immediate future.

HOW TO KILL PUTIN'S RUSSIA |

Varna,
Black Sea Coast, Bulgaria. I'm sitting on the veranda of my luxury suite
at the five-star Flamingo Grand Hotel with a spectacular view of the Black
Sea, and enjoying a glass of spectacularly good Bulgarian red
wine.
It seems odd that this place of such peace, beauty, and
enjoyment is where to kill Putin's Russia
- but it is, exactly right here.
With Vladimir Putin using his oil billions and traditional
Russian thuggery - murdering opponents, invading neighbors - to reignite the
Cold War and reestablish the Soviet Russian Empire, it's time to think of ways
to put an end to it.
If we got rid of the Soviet Union, it
should be child's play to get rid of Putin's Russia. And it is.
Putin's Russia has a mortal vulnerability.
Exploit that vulnerability, and he, together with his entire imperialist
enterprise is done for. That
vulnerability is not oil. It is...

TO THE BACK OF BEYOND |

Once I finish writing this, I'm off to conduct the VIP trip
discussed in Good
News From Bulgaria. Next I'll be in Albania
for a meeting with Prime Minister Berisha, followed by speaking at a conference
in Tbilisi, Georgia
along with TTP's Richard Rahn.
After that, I head into the back of beyond. The phrase became popular in the 19th
century referring to mysterious lands that were unknown and remote. I can't be more specific, as I don't want to
telegraph my presence there in advance.
You'll be getting a report from me whenever I get a secure
Internet connection, which I hope will be often. There will be a few times in the coming weeks
when I'll have to be incommunicado.
I'll be back just after the election, and the scary question
is: will America
by then have become a country that is back of beyond?

MCCAIN REMINDS US WHY WE DIDN'T LIKE HIM BEFORE PALIN |

Talk about blowing a golden opportunity.
Whenever there is danger - like the Wall Street Meltdown
this week - there is always opportunity. The Meltdown handed it to McCain on a diamond-studded platter, on
which Obambi and the Democrats lay so stunningly vulnerable.
Instead, he goes off on an anti-capitalist rant, demonizing
the "greed" of Wall Street instead of the Democrat crooks in Congress who are
the architects of the crisis. He calls
for more fascist regulation, when it was the regulatory power the Dem crooks
had that caused the crisis.
And to top it off, he scapegoats Chris Cox,
Bush's SEC Chairman, the most honest and decent guy in Washington, instead of
the Democrat crooks!
McCain is reminding us of why conservatives weren't gung-ho
enthusiastic over his candidacy. We'd
almost forgotten in the wake of Palinmania.
We're now remembering his sneering remark during the primary debates
that his life has always been motivated by "patriotism," while that of Mitt
Romney was motivated by - he spat out the word as if it were a filthy
four-letter insult - "profit."
McCain should have listened more to his friend and cell-mate
in the Hanoi Hilton, Jim Warner.
Jim once asked him, "John, would you go to a supermarket to
buy a pair of shoes?"

GLOBAL WARMING AND BLACK HOLES: THE PARANOIA CONNECTION |
|
|
|
Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Thursday, 11 September 2008 |
That the Farmer's Almanac is now predicting
global cooling is a pretty good indication that the glo-warming hysteria is
coming to an end. The "warming crisis"
the media has incessantly tried to shove down people's throats is of little
concern to voters. All polls show it is
at or near the bottom of voter concerns, and it is rarely addressed by
politicians seeking their votes.
Which may help to explain the media's current attempt at
paranoia-mongering: spreading fears
that the
entire earth may be swallowed up by a man-made black hole in Switzerland.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva is the largest
and most complex machine ever built.
Physicists hope to simulate the conditions of the "Big Bang" that
created the universe. Such a
simulation, the worry goes, could create a tiny black hole that could suck in
nearby matter, growing with incredible speed and size until it sucked in and
destroyed our entire planet.
Here are two reasons why the paranoia is misplaced and will
have to wander off to find another target.
