September 8 2018 Sanctions in a modern world I don’t know maybe it’s just me but lately it seems like the West wants to sanction the planet. Venezuela and Argentina are just two of many examples that flash to mind. While sanctions on smaller countries may still prove to be effective its effects on superpower [...]
September 6, 2018 One Of My Most Memorable Interviews Over the years I’ve had the privilege of interviewing some prominent thinkers considered by many to be experts in their field. It should come as no surprise that these people have large followings they retain huge numbers of subscribers. While each of these encounters proved memorable [...]
Life through the eyes of a Centenarian I’m at the ripe middle age of 61 and still I connect with my mom every day. Whether it’s a quick email or a message even a call we somehow manage to link on a daily basis. For some this might sound a bit strange coming from someone [...]
Sept 5 2018 Pension Debt and Your Free Will As a species since the beginning of time we’ve possessed what most term free will. I’ll agree as human beings free will is one of our natural inherent properties. While I couldn’t agree more on the above there is another side to this statement and rarely [...]
Continuing on our trip through the mountains we pass through the one horse town of Orma. Still over three hours away from Constanza we begin to hit some lower lying clouds. Enjoy some of the views as Johnny and Alduino discuss the various plantations, the fruits and vegetables grown in the cooler temps. As Johnny [...]
August 2018 2018 What a 20 Trillion dollar debt looks like. Because of our devalued currencies over the past decade some terms kind of changed a bit. For example what used to be Billion has now become Trillion. No big deal right? It’s a close enough replacement in fact the word even rhymes. Before continuing [...]
Leaving San Jose de Acoa we approach the beginning of what will be in excess of four hours of backroads eventually arriving to Constanza. Ride along while Johnny and Alduino catch up on the events of last night in Barahona. We lucked out on a weekend, finding a triple room including dinner and breakfast the [...]
August 28 2018 When it comes to possessing the skills to tame any beast I know of no better source than Jim Rogers. On multiple occasions I’ve watched Jim take over the reins and tame the most belligerent interrogator and effortlessly coax them back to reality. I understand we’re currently living in what you might [...]
Welcome back to day three of our four day venture. By the time we departed Rancho Tipico de Las Aguilas we didn’t arrive into Barahona till past 6:00 P.M. Two full days have caught up with us, so we decided to spend the night in Barahona. We were lucky to find a place for whatever [...]
After enjoying an excellent lunch we realized that the hours are fast ticking away and we still needed to cover a fair amount of ground before the end of the day. We took the old beach road and while filming the natural beauty began discussing the changes since last being there. One major option that [...]
After a long drive we finally arrive at our next stop along the way. It’s a place where I’ve visited two prior times called Rancho Tipico Cueva de las Aguillas or Typical Ranch Cave of the Eagles in English. In fact my last time here Johnny was with me and because of its natural beauty [...]
Perhaps the greatest gift I ever encountered was one I bequeathed myself. More accurately “allowed myself to receive.” For a time period well exceeding three decades I started to sense things were not as I’ve been taught they were. The time frames, geography, archaeology and the numbers all don’t line up and not by a [...]
Recently I had the opportunity to spend a week with Juan and his family. Juan and I first met about five years ago when unannounced he happened to be in Cabrera and initiated an invite to meet in person. Apparently Juan’s been following our blog for several years and always wanted to bring his family [...]
We met Joe and Maggie almost nine years ago. In fact it was Johnny who introduced us to begin with. Several year’s prior they both left Cabrera to pursue business options State side and eventually a percentage of these options blossomed. Turns out they’ve built an elegant second home in Cabrera. After quite a long [...]
