Anybody who has used a de-humidifier knows how this works. The add-on goody to this machine is a water filtering element. I’m skeptical though.  How long will it be before the Eco-Fascist-Squads make it illegal to pull water out of the air?  Oh, that’s right.  Just make sure it’s not air collected from your roof, or any outsi...

Better yet, it is being disseminated amongst ...

“U.S. economic and political clout will decline over the next two decades and the world will be more dangerous, with food and water scarce and advanced weapons plentiful, U.S. spy agencies projected on Thursday.” So, adding a little deductive reasoning to the above I will say: “The United States’ health as a super-power si...

More police-state madness from our friends in the UK: Motorists could be automatically banned from the road after two speeding tickets under government reforms unveiled today.
