On a recent Monday, New York City inspectors were out in full force in Harlem. A Department of Buildings officer lurked around a recently constructed makeshift restaurant patio on Frederick Douglass Boulevard. He took photos, jotted down notes and was soon joined by a colleague. They conferred, pointing here, there and over there, too. Karl Franz Williams watched all this from his perch on a stool […]

Introduction Benjamin Fulford has been affiliated with VT for 12 years now. I first met him when asked to call him by a good friend who was at time director of the XYZ. He warned me that “Fulford is off the reservation.” Good for Ben! As an aside, take a look at this screen grab from Russia Today, no longer freedom loving and edgy, now more […]

Rising sentiment in opposition to racist and insensitive artwork has quickly seen companies pull their products at risk of being “canceled”. However, this phenomenon has now begun to affect progressive and anti-racist products, which can be misconstrued as the opposite. A Connecticut bar has removed a product from its beer selection after pressure from a customer complaining that the bottle resembled a Ku Klux Klan hood, […]
The leader of Spain’s Catalonia Quim Torra has called on the residents of the city of Lleida to follow his government’s home confinement orders, after a rise in coronavirus cases.

On his personal website Colin Peter Field presents himself plainly as a “bartender” and shares a list of his favorite spirits, including the ubiquitous Grey Goose Vodka and Maker’s Mark Bourbon. But don’t be fooled—Field is a visionary mixologist and is regularly hailed as one of the greatest bartenders in the world. (There’s a reason why Kate Moss wrote an introduction for one of his cocktail […]
Of the many things we’ve (temporarily) lost thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, late nights at the local bar are one of the most dearly missed—unless, of course, you’re a knucklehead in Florida, Texas, Arizona, Georgia or California who continues to visit watering holes without wearing a mask or practicing social distancing, personal and public safety be damned. For those responsible Americans pining for the beloved and […]
