Great Capitalist Inventions: the Steam Engine

Steam engines powered the Industrial Revolution and remained the dominant source of power until the early 20th century, when electric motors and internal combustion engines gradually replaced them

Thomas Savery was an English military engineer and inventor who in 1698, patented the first crude steam engine, based on Denis Papin's Digester or pressure cooker of 1679. Thomas Savery had been working on solving the problem of pumping water out of coal mines, his machine consisted of a closed vessel filled with water into which steam under pressure was introduced. This forced the water upwards and out of the mine shaft. Then a cold water sprinkler was used to condense the steam. This created a vacuum which sucked more water out of the mine shaft through a bottom valve (video of a glass model). Thomas Savery later worked with Thomas Newcomen on the atmospheric steam engine. Among Savery's other inventions was an odometer for ships, a device that measured distance traveled.

The Incestuous Obama-Media Nexus

Team Obama has being accused of tapping and intimidating the media. Veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson has recently resigned from CBS and is lifting the veil

Any dictator who wants to wrest power from any current government, first seeks to control the media.

EU Czar Tells Us He's a Tyrant and a Statist

The tyrants of the EU are wondering how we know they are anti liberty, anti individual, anti rights and undemocratic. They are telling us themselves...

.@JunckerEU Freedom is not yours to give or take. Every human being is born free because of his nature. The state can protect or violate it.

Juncker: Your can't be in favour of the freedom of capital and against freedom for people. That wouldn't be European.

Discover the Lies About Post WWII History

The postmodern world is rife with revisionism: Russians are in denial over their oppressive and occupational role in Eastern Europe and the EU is claiming falsely the mantle of peace. It's an opportune time to revisit The Wall and the Cold War

Japanese arrested for producing 3D-printed guns

3D printing is a revolutionary technology, but never mind the hype – it will make its impact in unexpected ways. YAY! The second Industrial Revolution is under way

3D Printed Guns (Documentary). Here more about Cody's postmodern anarchist philosophy. 

UPDATE: Japanese authorities arrested a 27-year-old man Thursday for allegedly possessing 3D-printed handguns, some of which had the capability of firing and killing. Local media ANN News said the authorities found as many as five handguns made of plastic at the home of the suspect, Yoshitomo Imura, who lives south of Tokyo. The guns were yellow, blue, and white plastic according to images from the report. Kanagawa Prefectural Police also discovered blueprints downloaded from the Internet for producing the weapons, ANN News reported. "I made the guns by the 3D printer at home. I did not think it was illegal," the suspect was quoted as saying. The suspect later said on Twitter that "[g]un restrictions are a violation of human rights." The rate of Japanese gun violence is among the lowest in industrialized nations. Guns are not illegal in the country, but buyers face several background checks and other impediments. One of the first 3D-printed handguns, the "Liberator" pistol, was licensed last year from Austin-based Defense Distributed. (Source)

Condell: "We Want Our Sovereign Democracy Back"

Pat Condell is furious with the British elite that have sold the country out to the federal tyranny that is the EU. This goes for each and every member state, the closest we'd ever come to high treason

The theft of democracy: Do you want to live in a sovereign democracy or a federal dictatorship?

And while we're on the subject, this chart is what passes for 'normal' economic conditions in the EUSSR:
