I’d bet money on that guess!

To my knowledge, you’re right on all counts. I haven’t heard about any outcomes either, though I haven’t gone searching for them. I’m guessing they’re keeping it hushed up since they know the public wasn’t gung-ho on this open-air experiment.

I should’ve warned – you need to ignore most of their pronouncements and conclusions, as they’re usually very mainstream. However, what’s rare, and useful (for me at any rate), is the raw lab results when they test particular supplements. Those are found in the “Products Review” section, which is virtually the only part of the site I use.

I think you’re right about the whole Western world. It’s sad to see the dumbing down that has happened in so many places.

I second PiPoe. My observation has been that (as a general rule, not in every case) Americans are a lot less aware of, or interested in, what goes on in the rest of the world, and less attuned to geopolitics, than Europeans are. I got a degree from a U.S. university a long time ago, and later in life did the first year of an undergraduate…[Read more]

How utterly, ironically appropriate!

They’re into psychological torture too, from the looks of this demented PR campaign.

I think he got permission last year to release GMO mosquitoes, for a different purpose, in the Florida Keys (a little to close for my comfort). These were supposedly genetically engineered to mate with the wild species and–surprise!–produce infertile offspring. Now, I ask you, do you think Baal G really cares about reducing the mosquito…[Read more]

BTW, I often use this as one of my references when choosing supplement brands (small subscription fee, but more than worth it if you take a lot of supplements): https://www.consumerlab.com/
They test a whole slew of different supplements to see if they contain what’s listed on the label and test for certain contaminants as well.

Politicians’ narcissism knows no bounds.

I wish I had your optimism, Dana! But even I can see a potential bright side: more people than ever have started paying attention and questioning, or indeed challenging, the control systems.

I have a feeling psychotherapy is going to be one of the few growing professions in future (assuming it doesn’t get outsourced to AI). If parents don’t regain some sanity and backbone soon, a whole generation is going to need it.

And if you see an online article you might want to refer back to, save a copy then and there (as a PDF, a hardcopy, screenshot, whatever). Over the past year, I’ve seen several instances of no-longer-politically-convenient articles being taken down–or edited long after being first published.

Curiously, muzzling a two-legged Chihuahua doesn’t stop the barking…

I agree that religious teachings have been used at various times in history to keep the masses in submission. On the other hand, I myself like the Serenity Prayer. There are things in life a person can’t change, some of them pretty hard to deal with (e.g., a physical disability or loss of a loved one). It can be really helpful to an…[Read more]

I’m basically with PiPoe too. I wouldn’t use the downvote button to say “I disagree,” but maybe, very rarely, as a way to mark a comment as probable trolling or blatantly inappropriate. (I always assumed the downvote button got added because the software doesn’t come with an option to remove it and/or as a way to flag potential trolls.)…[Read more]

… and covert manipulations.

How about “Department of Homeland Reality”? After all, as suggested by one of the great minds published in our newspaper of record, it may be headed by a “reality czar”:

OK, Scarmoge, you’ve finally pushed me to it… I have to go find out what exactly “nominalism” is. Thanks for the extra work! 🙂
