Are bioplastics really as eco-friendly as they’re touted to be?

Approximately 165 million tons of petroleum-based plastic now pollute the ocean. Another nine million tons of plastic are added to the seas each year. Only nine percent of plastic is recycled. It takes at least 500 years for traditional plastic to decompose, as toxic chemicals break down and leach into the environment. In the rush […]

Many of us really are sheep: Experiments in social compliance show few people argue with authority figures

Many of us really are sheep, quick to follow the crowd and obey orders. Instead of standing up and speaking out on our own convictions, we often choose to fit in. Assimilating with the crowd, we find it’s easier to go-along to get-along, even if that means giving away our own power, rights, and dignity in […]

Too much testing is dangerous: Prostate cancer screening does NOT save lives, puts men at risk according to groundbreaking study

Peer review SCIENCE FAIL: Scientific discoveries suppressed due to pride of “experts” and the defense of economic status quo

The current culture of science and its peer review process does not openly embrace new discoveries, innovation, or dissent. Why would conventional scientists, invested in traditional ideas, embrace an outsider’s discovery, which would disrupt the current culture and economics of food, medicine, agriculture? Why would conventional scientists, who have invested years in their work, reward […]

No U.N. support for geoengineering: Proposal to use chemicals in our atmosphere to dim the sun is “infeasible” according to leaked report

A leaked report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reveals one of the main objectives behind the 2015 Paris Climate swindle: The world’s arrogant elite have plans to spray the Earth’s skies with chemicals to block the sun’s light and “save” the planet from “global warming.” When U.S. President Donald Trump severed ties with the […]

FAKE MEDICINE: “Randomized” drug trial protocols are frequently altered by industry sponsors who selectively remove participants that get sick

When it comes to making and approving pharmaceutical drugs, the science and procedure behind the process is readily corruptible. It can be manipulated to fulfill the wishes of pharmaceutical companies. A team of researchers from the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen has exposed widespread corruption in drug trial protocols. The research, first published in the Journal […]

New science reveals “consensus” theory of how Earth was formed is TOTALLY WRONG… but scientists are sure they’re not wrong about anything else

A new scientific discovery debunks the popular “consensus” theory of how the Earth was formed. Researchers at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris simulated the formation of the Earth’s mantle and discovered a zinc to sulfur ratio different from current thinking. The discovery suggests that the Earth was NOT made from solar system materials, as scientists have […]

Why do climate change alarmists want our planet to be cold, icy and devoid of life? A warmer, wetter planet is a GREEN planet

The infectious climate change narrative that is being drilled into the minds of the next generation isn’t about protecting the planet. The term climate change is being used to get people to believe that they are supporting science, supporting the environment, protecting the Earth, and committing to a clean future. But it doesn’t matter if […]

Latest climate change scare story: Rising oceans to produce “2 billion climate refugees” by the year 2100, alarmists claim

The church of climatology persistently drives global warming fear into their congregation, to ensure that followers will continue believing, continue submitting, and continue giving their trust. The ministers of this religion preach a doctrine of climate change doom, as they shame a fundamental molecule of life (carbon), and call for global control (and taxation) of the weather, climate, […]

Sixty percent of the public and 80 percent of doctors think drug companies are LYING about health claims from medical trials

Drug companies don’t want to hear the latest results of a survey conducted by the Academy of Medical Sciences. The survey found that 63 percent of the general public and 82 percent of general practitioners are now skeptical of claims made by drug trials. More people now trust a friend’s advice on medicine, while only […]
