The Virus that Dare not Speak Its NameThe most glaringly obvious and the single most unheard thing about the mRNA products (but something that explains virtually all the adverse events, both in kind, degree, and combination) is that each of those products is, at the very least, the functional equivalent of a virus, with a few notable but still very serious distinctions. I came to this conclusion by considering the nature of the therapeutic vehicles they are using. I had been reading about most of these at least since starting grad school over 25 years ago. I remember talking with...

Cui Bono? Who Benefits?If It Waddles and Quacks like a Global Warming, Computer-Modeling, Impeachment-Pursuing, Disaster-Yearning, Public-Oppressing, Data-Padding, Vaccine-Linked Travel Document-Pushing, Dictatorial Lying Duck, then It’s Most Likely the Same Old Deep State CrewThe First Four Strings of the ApocalypseThe following is my sum-up what I would call a combination of Fauci-Gates-gate, some foreign help, and bringing in the fifth string of the Deep State, since these, the first four, were completely blown to hell:1. The first string: Obama and his use of US and foreign intelligence agencies illegally trying to dig up stuff then, failing that, to make up stuff...

WASHINGTON — President Trump has rolled back environmental regulations, pulled the United States out of the Paris climate accord, brushed aside dire predictions about the effects of climate change, and turned the term “global warming” into a punch line rather than a prognosis. Now, after two years spent unraveling the policies of his predecessors, Mr. Trump and his political appointees are launching a new assault.

Every major social, economic, and political problem in the US was either created or deliberately exacerbated by the progressive socialist movement. It all started in the late 1800s with the progressive socialists, newly arrived from Europe, setting their sights on taking over and taking down the United States from the ground up. They weren’t anything new. In their European form, they had long been known to the founding fathers. John Adams referred to their grands-pères in the French genesis of “ideology” as the “science of idiocy,” the art of sinking deeper than any diver had ever gone into the depths...

I know a young refugee who filled out a card for one of those "You can win this car!" at the local mall. Several weeks later he got an Award Verification Center bulk rate blue card saying that he had WON a BMW or a Mercedes or something else exotic or $40,000 or a vacation and had 72 hours to call. I heard about this when his brother told me that he had won a car and was on the home phone with the guy who was going to give him the car. I told him it was a scam...

In a gutsy move, Newsweek has released the cover of their next issue, on the cover of which they depict President Obama with a rainbow halo and the title of 'The First Gay President'. The news-magazine, which hits stands Monday, is using the shock factor of labeling the straight, married, father-of-two President to draw attention to itself. Tina Brown, who heads the magazine and it's sister website The Daily Beast, is known for her appreciation of controversial covers to help boost public interest and sales.

The CIA and the Office of the Director for National Intelligence (ODNI) recently hosted the first Intelligence Community (IC) Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Summit. Participants included members of LGBT employee groups from nine IC agencies and CIA and ODNI leaders. The Summit was designed to ensure the Agency maintains a high performing, engaged, and diverse workforce. CIA Associate Deputy Director (ADD) Sue Bromley welcomed participants to the February event, highlighting the importance of inclusion in mission success: “When I look at our mission and our challenges, what I look to is my single greatest resource at the CIA—our...

Climate-change scepticism must be 'treated', says enviro-sociologist Dubious on warmo peril? You're the kind who'd own slaves Scepticism regarding the need for immediate and massive action against carbon emissions is a sickness of societies and individuals which needs to be "treated", according to an Oregon-based professor of "sociology and environmental studies". Professor Kari Norgaard compares the struggle against climate scepticism to that against racism and slavery in the US South. Prof Norgaard holds a B.S. in biology and a master's and PhD in sociology. "Over the past ten years I have published and taught in the areas of environmental sociology,...

A mailer landing in Downstate mailboxes promotes Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Mike Labno as “the only pro-Life, pro-Gun candidate for U.S. Senate.” Only the mailer doesn’t appear to come from Labno’s campaign. A line on the flier claims it’s paid for by “Illinois Victory, a project of the Lake County Democratic Party.” State Sen. Terry Link (D-Vernon Hills) heads up the Lake County Democratic Party, which he said has no “Illinois Victory” project. Link said he had never heard of the mailer until told of it by the Sun-Times Tuesday night. Supporters of Democratic Senate nominee Alexi Giannoulias have unofficially...

NEW YORK: It's unusual. But, it's a fact. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic party's presidential nominee, is seeking the blessings of Hanuman in his battle for the White House. The 46-year-old senator from Illinois, who defeated his rival Hillary Clinton in an epic 17-month long electoral battle for Democratic party nomination, carries a "tiny monkey god" apparently representing "Hanuman" with him for good luck. A recent photo posted on Time's White House Photo of the Day collection shows the first ever Black-American nominee of a major US party for the Presidential elections carries with him a bracelet belonging to an...

CHICAGO - Artists, sculptors and photographers knew Abraham Lincoln's face had a good side. Now it's confirmed by science. Laser scans of two life masks, made from plaster casts of Lincoln's face, reveal the 16th president's unusual degree of facial asymmetry, according to a new study. The left side of Lincoln's face was much smaller than the right, an aberration called cranial facial microsomia. The defect joins a long list of ailments — including smallpox, heart illness and depression — that modern doctors have diagnosed in Lincoln. Read MORE.

Halting the March of Unreason reviewed by Henry I. Miller "Drunk as a lord" hardly applies to Lord Taverne of Pimlico, the sober, polymathic and persuasive author of "The March of Unreason" (Oxford University Press). Although not a scientist himself, Taverne, a Queen's Counsel (an especially learned barrister appointed to advise Her Britannic Majesty), former member of the British Parliament and currently member of the House of Lords, offers a spirited defense of science and its evidence-based approach to public policy. He argues that "in the practice of medicine, popular approaches to farming and food, policies to reduce hunger and...

Ancient Amazon Settlements Uncovered Thu Sep 18, 7:26 PM ET Add Science - AP to My Yahoo! By PAUL RECER, AP Science Writer WASHINGTON - The Amazon River basin was not all a pristine, untouched wilderness before Columbus came to the Americas, as was once believed. Researchers have uncovered clusters of extensive settlements linked by wide roads with other communities and surrounded by agricultural developments. The researchers, including some descendants of pre-Columbian tribes that lived along the Amazon, have found evidence of densely settled, well-organized communities with roads, moats and bridges in the Upper Xingu part of the vast...

By HARRY DUNPHY, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Finance officials from the seven richest industrial countries agreed Saturday to support a new U.N. Security Council resolution as part of a global effort to rebuild Iraq (news - web sites). The deal settles a dispute that had threatened to delay postwar help that the United States had insisted could go ahead without a further U.N. resolution. But the finance leaders, in a joint statement, endorsed a resolution as part of a reconstruction plan that will involve the International Monetary Fund (news - web sites) and the World Bank (news - web...

A caller to the Don Wade and Roma show suggested: 1. that spending for NASA be increased, 2. that a replacement shuttle be built, and 3. that it's name be Courageous. He asked Don and Roma if they could help get the ball rolling. I thought that if any place could get it rolling, it would be FreeRepublic.

My title: But How Would This Play in Peoria? When I went over to the bookstore to get coffee in preparation for many hours ahead tonight on the microscope, I glanced across the rack of newspapers and saw a picture of the two IL Democrat candidates for governor and attorney general. They were on the front page of The Windy City Times, a gay/lesbian newspaper. From the story on Rod, Rod: 100% Record on Gays: For progressive groups of all kinds, from Equality Illinois and HRC and Personal PAC and NOW, Blagojevich is their man for governor. He also scored...

On 30 June 1908, in the remote Tunguska forest of Siberia, a vast explosion charred and flattened trees across an area nearly as large as Rhode Island. Scientists have long been mystified as to the cause, although prevailing wisdom has it that it was an extraterrestrial chunk of ice or rock (Science, 20 August 1999, p. 1205). Tunguska epicenter today. CREDIT: VITALII ROMEIKO But two scientists last week rejected the "E.T. hypothesis" at a conference on environmental catastrophes in London. Andrei Ol'khovatov, formerly of the Soviet Radio Instrument Industry Research Institute, noted that no one has ever found definitive traces...
