“Are you wondering why you’ve never heard of this man before? For decades, information about Pilecki was kept hidden by the leaders of the postwar, Soviet-installed regime. They couldn’t recount his anti-Nazi activities without completing the story and telling of his anticommunist work as well. With the release in recent years of previously classified or suppressed documents, including Pilecki’s own reports in their entirety, his superhuman exploits are finally becoming known around the world.”

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, and Lithuania Trip Report
“Before the end of the spring semester, I couldn’t bear the thought of spending the three weeks between the end of my junior year and the start of my summer internship bumming around at home, so I took Google Flights to the task to find the furthest place I could get away from Pittsburgh at the lowest cost per mile. The result? A four-country getaway and a story of a lifetime.”
Rare Historical Photos In Color
“A collection of some really nice photos from the past ‘come to life’. Most of the
photos I took from Life magazine, Library of Congress, Shorpy and National
Geographic. The text of the song entitled ‘Kilkelly Ireland’, penned by American song writer Peter Jones, whose great, great grandfather was John Hunt, from the general Kilkelly area. Back in the late 1970s or early 1980s, Peter found a box of old letters in the attic of his parents home in America. These were a series of letters written between
1860 – 1890, to John Hunt by his parents from their home in Kilkelly in
Ireland.”
101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire (Full Length Film)
“‘101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire’ is a documentary adaptation of the Free State Project’s list of 101 Reasons to Move to New Hampshire, which was written in 2002 by Michele Dumas. The FSP is an effort to move 20,000 liberty-minded people to a low populated state that has an existing pro-freedom culture. In 2003, participants of the FSP voted for the ‘Live Free or Die’ state, New Hampshire, as its destination. For over 12 years the 101 Reasons list has helped inspire thousands of activists and entrepreneurs to sign up for the FSP and continue New Hampshire’s reputation as a beacon for liberty.”

A Visit to the Libyan Stock Exchange [2013]
“Under the ‘Great Socialist Republic’ of Qaddafi’s regime, shares were routinely provided to the people. By management’s estimate, approximately 260,000 Libyan citizens own shares but are not yet authorized to sell them. Under the current government, this will change beginning in August 2014. If this holds true, expect to see a significant drop in prices across the LSM as the ‘main street’ Libyan sells his shares en masse for a quick payday. Most people here don’t place much value in stocks; it is likely that many do not even understand what a stock is. Forty-two years of socialism cannot be undone overnight.”
