Can Kim-Jong-Un’s Outrageous Behavior Be Blamed On Poor Parenting?
Kim Jong-un’s latest outlandish claim that he has invented an alcoholic drink that doesn’t give you a hangover is the latest in a long line of fantastical boasts from a leader who has also claimed to have cured cancer, AIDS, and Ebola. But is little Kim living in the paradise of the fool or is he simply another product of bad parenting?
On the world stage, Kim Jong-un is often seen as a figure of fun. He’s not. The supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is deadly serious when it comes creating a fantastical image of himself, and like most egotistical psychopaths, he’s willing to kill in the name of perpetuating the myth.
According to the gospel of North Korea, little Kim could drive a car at the tender age of 3 and was winning yachting races before he was 10. He also conquered North Korea’s highest mountain wearing a suit and dress shoes. How suave.
As well as indulging in gout-inducing proportions of Swiss cheese, Kim is rumored to also be a massive fan of Eric Clapton, which, on face value, would make the little leader evil on an epic scale.
Like his dad, Kim also loves to drink and party like a rock star and is forever splashing the cash on new technologies and remedies to help him combat hangovers and fatigue. Currently, Kim is looking to become the toast of alcoholics everywhere after claiming to have invented a special blend of liquor that doesn’t give you a hangover.
As every self-respecting binge drinker knows, if there was a tried and tested cure to kill hangovers, then God is sure as hell keeping it to himself, and he’s not about to share it with a diminutive, portly little chap with a woman’s name and a haircut rarely seen this side of the 1980s.
So what made Kim a pathological liar prone to fantastical boasts in the first place? Was he born that way, or was the example that papa Kim set to blame for Junior’s tendency of being free and easy with the truth?
For 17 long years, Kim Jong-un’s dad, the tenacious tyrant Kim Jong-il, ruled North Korea with an iron fist. Yet, how much did anybody really know about this heavy-drinking, chain-smoking, bug-eyed shade wearing, hamburger loving, James Bond fan with a speech impediment?

Which Country Is Most Likely To Trigger World War 3?
The world’s armies have never been bigger, global tension has never been higher, and the world is perpetually on the brink of World War 3. But which countries are most likely to trigger the war that really would end all wars, and who has more troops ready, armed, and primed for conflict should the unimaginable happen and World War 3 become a reality?
The Express has kindly listed for all those potential troublemaking nations out there, the top 10 “nations you would not want to go to war with.” Heading the list of heavyweight contenders who could hold their own corner in the event of a global war is our old friend China.
With a fear-inspiring 2,333,000 troops on active duty and the same number again in its reserve forces, China is one Asian powerhouse ready to rumble at the drop of a bomb. China has a working age population of 600 million, all of whom could be called upon in the event of World War 3. The country also boasts a formidable amount of firepower, with thousands of military vehicles and aircraft at its disposal.
The U.S. slots sharply into second place with an active military force of 1.4 million. Amazingly, America has nearly double the amount of aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined. So sovereignty of the skies is sort of assured. Which is no surprise, considering in 2015, Washington’s defense budget was almost $800 billion. That’s a lot of dollars, folks.
Although never considered a real threat in terms of triggering World War 3, India should be taken very seriously indeed. With an army of 1.3 million, it’s not exactly short of troops, even if it does lack the firepower of the other big players on the list.
Up next with 1,190,000 active personnel and an army which consists of almost four out of every 10 people is North Korea. And with you know who in charge, you dismiss this country at your peril.
Although Russia is in a somewhat surprising fifth place with only 765,000 trained troops, you can bet your bottom dollar that every one of those soldiers is trained extremely well. And in case we forget, Russia boasts more nuclear weapons than any other country in the world.
The rest of the list consists of Pakistan (630,400 active personnel), South Korea (630,000 active personnel), Iran (534,000 active personnel), Turkey (510,600 active personnel), and Vietnam (482,000 active personnel).
You might well ask yourself where does the poor old U.K. fit into all of this. Well, it’s not something the British government has given much thought to. Dramatic cuts in recent years have reduced the size of the British army considerably, and it now ranks at 38 on the Global Firepower index, languishing limply beneath countries such as Greece, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.
Yet, the million-dollar question is, firepower aside, which of the above global hard-hitters is most likely to trigger World War 3?

Are The Rich Getting Richer? You Can Bet Your Bottom Dollar They Are
In an age of austerity and financial meltdown, where people are living hand to mouth and worrying how to keep a roof over their heads and feed their families, there’s only a few things that you can rely on to never change: one is death, the other is taxes, and the other is that the rich will keep on getting richer even if the world burns and the earth dies screaming.
When they’re not busy ripping people off and paying slave wages, getting even richer is what the filthy rich do, and it’s a hard habit for these craven and money-chasing souls to shake.
A recent Oxfam report suggests that a mere 1 percent of the population holds half the world’s wealth. To break that figure down into terms we can all hate, that translates as 73 million people owning just a much as the other 7.3 billion have to share.
Who are these 73 million people you may wonder. Well, they’re certainly selfish souls who never paid much attention to Jesus Christ’s parable of the five loaves and two fish, but even these greedy guzzlers and worshippers of Mammon could learn a thing or two from the 62 richest people on the planet.
These plucky 62 philanthropists one and all own as much wealth as the poorer half of the global population combined. Or as they’re so tenderly described, “the bottom half of humanity.”
Yes, sir, the rich are getting richer, and there’s none richer than the world’s richest three men. So here’s looking at you software mogul Bill Gates, Mexican telecom magnate Carlos Slim Helu, and investor Warren Buffett. These three musketeers have a combined net worth of US$230 billion, according to Forbes. The question is why do they need it, what do they need it for, and what kind of world are we living in which makes such an accumulation of insane wealth possible?
A world gone wrong perhaps, or just one consumed by greed and rampant capitalism. Of course, if you dare criticize the grossly disproportionate distribution of wealth and social ills that follow in its trail, you’ll be accused, usually by the very wealthy, of being poisoned by the politics of envy, harboring the resentment of the peasant, or being bone idle and jealous of your betters who have made a comfortable life for themselves by enslaving others to a lifetime of soul-destroying tedium and mind-paralyzing labor, for little or no reward.
Yet, the concentration of wealth is killing the world’s economy and will eventually put it six foot under. The super — let’s call them filthy — rich probably realize this but don’t care. When the revolution comes, it will be televised, but solely for their entertainment, as they watch from the comfort of their super yachts and fortress retreats, with cocktail in hand, the carnage and chaos their greed has caused.
It may sound like hyperbole, but where else is this merry go round going to end?

Are Kate Middleton And Prince William Really Work Shy Materialists?
Kate Middleton and Prince William have come under heavy fire as of late for what their critics brand as an abject lack of work ethic and flagrant disregard for royal duties. At heart are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge work-shy materialists with a craven love for power without responsibility and wealth without hard graft?
Many would snarl “most definitely,” and if truth be told you can call Kate Middleton and Prince William a lot of things but “hard-working” isn’t really one of them.
Take a recent article in The Mirror by Carole Malone for example. Obviously not a fan of the future King of England, whom she brands as a “work-shy petulant prince,” Malone goes on to slam the man who made Kate Middleton famous, as a “big soft lad who’s still hiding behind the cloak of poor persecuted, hounded Wills which protected him for so long after his mum died.”
It’s strong stuff, but to be fair, Prince William did place himself directly in the firing line last week when he raised his head above the parapet and made a speech about how important it was for Britain to stay in the E.U.
Royals should know better than to meddle in politics and speak for the common man, but perhaps taking a leaf out of his dad’s book, Wills may have felt the need to descend from his ivory tower and lecture the British population on how they should vote, before they return to their daily grind and carry on the time honored and noble pursuit of keeping the rich man wealthy.
Needless to say, such royal sentiments went down like a lead balloon. Especially with Malone who snarled like a rottweiler who’s been brutally beaten by a regal regime, that Prince William is a selfish sort who has no right telling anyone anything.

107 Man Reveals The Secret To A Long Life Is To Drink Four Bottles Of Red Wine A Day
For all you connoisseurs of the grape and aficionados of the “vino,” here’s some good news for you: guzzling copious amounts of red wine is extremely beneficial for your health — or at least it was in the case of a certain Spaniard who lived to the ripe old age of 107.
The Independent reports that recently-deceased Antonio Docampo Garcia, who passed away last week in northwestern Spain, lived a long and fruitful life, and imbibed nothing but homemade red wine throughout most of his 107 years on the planet.
Health experts recently announced that drinking more than one glass of red wine a day significantly raises your risk of getting cancer, and that nearly ruined everyone’s evening tipple, but then along comes the tale of a fearless free spirit such as Antonio, who imbibed four bottles of his own homemade red wine each and every day, and it looks very much like the party is back on for those who appreciate a full-bodied vintage.
Not that excessive binging on alcohol is ever advised, and even if it was, most of us would be hard pressed to but away four bottles of the good stuff on a daily basis. Yet Antonio’s heroic intake and warrior like attitude to booze, is testament to the old adage that sometimes you’ve got to measure the medicine to the man and not the man to the medicine.
And after 107 years of drinking two bottles of red wine with his lunch and two with dinner, the magic medicine of the grape certainly appeared to do Antonio no harm.

The Devil’s Hour: Here’s Why You Wake Up Spooked At 3 AM
Picture the scene. You awake from an uneasy sleep, drenched in sweat, heart pounding, guts churning, gasping for breath, with one foot in the world of nightmares and the other tangled in a suffocating duvet.
You look at the clock: it reads 3 a.m. You feel spooked like something terrible is going to happen but have no idea why. All you know as your mind races and you nervously eye the shadows is there’ll be no sleep for you tonight.
And it’s not because you’ve eaten something exotic, taken something you shouldn’t, or overdone it on the booze. It’s because you’ve awoken into the twilight zone that is 3 a.m., also know as the Devil’s Hour, also regarded by paranormal experts as a time when pure evil in the form of demons and entities from the spirit world really like to make their presence felt.
Of course, it could all be superstitious nonsense, but in the early hours of the morning, when reality is but a dream and you’re wide-eyed and open to suggestion, there’s plenty of things not just to make you go “mmmmm,” but to make you scream the house down in white-knuckled panic.
According to the myths of ages, the Devil’s Hour is very real, and when we awake at 3 a.m. with a fretful stirring in our soul, it’s because an evil as old as the hills is deliberately taunting us and mocking the death of Jesus christ, who, according to ancient manuscripts, died in the middle of the afternoon — at 3 p.m.
Just like turning the cross upside down mocks ridicules the Christian faith, the inversion of 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. is considered a time-honored tool used by demons to plague and torment humans with.
Psychics suggest that at 3 a.m., the veil between our world and the one beyond the grave is lifted completely, and in a state of deep slumber, our minds are very susceptible to paranormal activity.

Mysterious Road Tunnel Make Time Travel Possible
A mysterious road tunnel has made time travel possible, or so hundreds of motorists who have fallen foul of its bizarre time-bending laws claim.
In our modern utopia, driving is rarely a pleasant experience, and on a highway to hell or road to nowhere, it is all too easy to lose track of time as the monotonous sound of rubber on tarmac, the soft hypnotic roar of the engine, and the mind-numbing brutality of Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran on the airwaves lulls even the most alert and guarded soul into an unthinking haze where all sense of time, space, and self is rendered obsolete.
In other words, it’s all too easy to lose track of time when you’re behind the wheel, but very rarely do you travel through it. Well, at least not in the H.G. Wells sense.
Yet, there’s a tunnel in Guizhou Province, China, which is currently under investigation because hundreds of motorists have claimed they have gone back in time after exiting the bizarre 400-metre structure.
