I’ve been a fairly keen amateur astronomer for much of my life, certainly since my parents gave me my first telescope (a 3” Newtonian reflector) in my pre-teens. So it’s almost a reflex for me to at least glance up at the sky nearly every night (I’m
“Trust the science!” is the great conceit of the contemporary left. But – leaving aside that the left are awfully picky about science when it comes to, say, gender ideology – how can we “trust the science” when Australia’s peak science body is so obviously trying to baffle us with bullshit?
We cynics who refuse to subscribe to “progressive” ideology often dismiss leftists as addicted to victim mentality. It turns out that “victim mentality” may well be a very real thing. Two of its key characteristics are moral elitism, coupled with attention-seeking and a lack of empathy. Those who suffer from
F. William Engdahl globalresearch.ca Bill Gates is actively financing and promoting new untested vaccines supposed to keep us at least somewhat safe from a ‘ghastly” death from the novel coronavirus and supposedly to allow us to resume somewhat “normal” lives. The Pharma giant Pfizer has now announced what they
Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola articles.mercola.com STORY AT-A-GLANCE * According to Dr. Roger Hodkinson, one of Canada’s top pathologists and an expert in virology, the COVID-19 pandemic is the “greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public” * Hodkinson stressed that PCR tests cannot diagnose infection and mass testing
Simon Black Sovereign Valley Farm, Chile sovereignman.com If there were a Mount Rushmore to memorialize the greatest scientists in US history, Richard Feynman’s face would almost certainly be on the monument. He was only 24 years of age when he was recruited into a secret research group that
Commercial fusion generation has been “just around the corner” for almost as long as I can remember. As far back as the late 70s, fusion was a mere 20 years away…and there it’s stayed, always just out of reach. No matter how many “breakthroughs” are announced. So, you’
Cybathlon 2020 was a recent cyborg Olympics in which people with physical disabilities competed using exoskeletons, bionic limbs, and other technology. In one race, competitors with quadriplegia wore scalp sensors that detected their brain waves and allowed them to steer vehicles on the screen. From IEEE Spectrum: Pilots controlled the
Viv Forbes Washpool Qld, Australia Wandering recently through an arcade popular with the green smoothie set, I saw a sign boasting: “Plant Based Meat”. Someone should advise those nutritional dunderheads that all real meat is plant-based. Real beef and lamb are built from live plants like grasses, lucerne and mulga,
It sounds like something from a ’50s b-grade science-fiction movie: The Claw from Outer Space! But, in fact, a very real giant claw in orbit around the Earth is being proposed by the European Space Agency. Why not? It’s 2020, after all. Unlike some rampaging alien monster of Hollywood,
This video provides one of the most erudite and informative looks at Covid-19 and the consequences of lockdowns. As AIER notes, it was remarkable this week to watch as it appeared on YouTube and was forcibly taken down only 2 hours after posting. The copy [above] is hosted on LBRY,
Ageing is the new frontier in medicine. Although it may not seem that way as we face continuing global hysteria over the Wuhan plague, medicine has largely conquered the worst maladies that have afflicted humans since time immemorial. Now, medical science is setting its sights on the big one: ageing.
A recent anthropological study both provides a fascinating insight into how one group of people lived 9000 years ago – and a depressing example of how degenerate science reporting has become. Worse, the statements from the study’s authors themselves, which make spurious and long-reaching claims based on the slimmest evidence,
Facebook’s megalomaniacal arrogance seems to know no bounds. With its notorious “fact-checkers” (so-called), Facebook is declaring itself the final arbiter of truth. Especially scientific truth. A core tenet of science is freedom of inquiry. Scientists must be free to publish and, more importantly, to discuss what others publish. As
We live in such a time as Theodore Dalrymple described in Soviet society, where the purpose of state propaganda was “not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better”. Like Soviet citizens, we are forced to assent to
