Test your understanding of the living world with this simple question. What kind of biomolecule is found in all living organisms? If your answer is “DNA”, you are incorrect. The mistake is very forgiveable though. The standard English-language biology education casts DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) as the master molecule of life, coordinating and controlling most, if not all, […]

Modern science strongly influences people. Today, people enjoy modern civilization while suffering from new diseases. The basis of modern science is direct observation. Founded on tangible objects that we can see, modern science applies qualitative and quantitative methods of examination. As advanced as we are today, if we calmly look at the history of human […]

“This welding of public health with digital technologies of surveillance and control and the police powers of the state allows for intrusions on our privacy, on our bodily autonomy that are unprecedented in history.” I sit down with psychiatrist and medical ethicist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, chief of medical ethics at the Unity Project and fellow […]

Commentary  Mendacity is worse than dishonesty. According to one essay on mendacity, “Mendacity connotes a mixture of dishonesty, hypocrisy and audacity.” Mendacity is an important theme of the play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” by Tennessee Williams: “What’s that smell in this room? Didn’t you notice it? Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of […]

“Most of the public do not understand the behavioral psychology techniques that are used on them. … We certainly haven’t signed consent forms.” Over the last two years, governments, in the United Kingdom and beyond, used subliminal methods to secretly manipulate the public, says writer and filmmaker Laura Dodsworth. In the United Kingdom, there’s a […]

Commentary If there’s a stain that has remained on America’s proverbial white linen, it’s the stain of slavery. A country founded on the principle that “all men are created equal” struggled mightily to live up to that standard until it did as Abraham Lincoln stated, where “every drop of blood drawn with the lash [was] […]

Previously, in part one of our interview with Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist, we discussed the full body of evidence on COVID-19 treatment, including a preventative method that may have stamped out COVID-19 in Bangladesh. McCullough was the principal author of the first paper on early COVID-19 outpatient treatment involving multidrug regimens. […]

“There’s been no monthly review of new therapies. There’s been no monthly review of data safety and efficacy for the vaccines. Nothing. Americans for two years have been stonewalled on any scientific information on COVID-19.” In this two-part interview [Part 2 can be found HERE], we sit down with Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist, cardiologist, […]

“I’m going to be a little bit radical here and say there is no racial reckoning to be had … I don’t know what further reckonings would look like short of tearing this country apart,” says Dr. Jason Hill, a professor of philosophy at DePaul University and author of “What Do White Americans Owe Black […]

VATICAN CITY—A Vatican round table and online conference focused on combatting “vaccine hesitancy” by countering disinformation, but neglected to include views critical of COVID-19 vaccines. A future conference will address the oversight. Throughout the conference, held on July 1, several of the experts admitted to frustration in addressing disinformation on vaccines—often, they said, propagated by […]

Commentary The following is a review of the Supreme Court’s constitutional decisions during its October 2020 term—so-named due to it beginning in October—which ended on June 30. This review shows that, contrary to the mainstream media narrative, the court doesn’t have a “conservative majority.” In constitutional cases, at least, it leans toward the liberal side. […]

Commentary I had previously written about the problems of the global warming hypothesis. This article is a continuation of the same topic. I will elaborate on how some people identified a stand-in for the global warming hypothesis, and how they fool governments and the general public into paying for their so-called climate policy. “Global warming” has […]

The Australian Liberal Party has not decided whether to go with gender quotas for its preselection of political candidates, despite the call from Prime Minister Scott Morrison and other members of Parliament over the past week. The call by some Liberal politicians comes as the Morrison government is under increasing scrutiny over its handling of […]

Commentary The U.S. Civil War was an extraordinary and unique event in world history. For the first and only time, a country sacrificed hundreds of thousands of its own citizens in a righteous fight to end the evil of slavery. That fight had begun years before with many heroes risking their lives, but the war […]

A review of data from 87 regions worldwide found that in about 98 percent of the comparisons, there was no evidence that lockdowns reduced the number of COVID-19 deaths. The locking down of healthy people in their homes in order to prevent the spread of disease is an unprecedented public health move that has had […]

Commentary Since ancient times, observers have remarked on the rapid deterioration and debasement of language during wars and revolutions. In his “History of the Peloponnesian War,” the Athenian general Thucydides (c. 460–400 BC) remarked how, “to fit in with the change of events, words, too, had to change their usual meanings.” In Tacitus’s “Agricola” (c. AD 98), Calcagus, […]

Since then he’s been serving homeschooling families with resources to learn math and language arts using a Montessori approach.   I asked Mr. Shiller about his curriculum company and for advice for the many homeschoolers who are just stepping out along this journey. Here’s what he said. […]

The United States recently banned the Chinese-owned WeChat and TikTok apps, sanctioned officials and a giant PLA-affiliated company for human rights abuses in Xinjiang, and made moves to crack down on Chinese companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges that don’t comply with U.S. audit standards. By linking trade with human rights, the United States is […]

Commentary The cause of racial equality has advanced exponentially since I was a boy. In those bad old days, African Americans were ubiquitously discriminated against and denied equal opportunity—sometimes by law, often by custom—based simply on the color of their skin. The harm caused to individuals and families was unquestionable and unquantifiable. As the Supreme […]

How has the Chinese Communist Party used unconventional tactics to wage war on the US for the past several decades? And why did almost nobody notice? What is asymmetric hybrid warfare, and how is it central to the Chinese Communist Party’s strategy of attack on the West? And, how can companies, universities, and governments effectively […]

Commentary This article is part 5 in a series examining the origins of public education in the United States. Widespread illiteracy and the ignorance it produces represent an existential threat to the United States today. But it wasn’t always this way. And it can be fixed. Fortunately, neither the cause of this crisis nor the solution […]

News Analysis Numerous YouTube channels that express conservative viewpoints, or criticize socialism, have recently reported that they’ve been demonetized. Censored channels include those of popular YouTube comedian Steven Crowder and a history teacher who posted videos on World War II that included clips of Nazi speeches. The New York Times reports that thousands of channels […]

For James O’Keefe, the American system of government depends on an informed citizenry, and it’s the responsibility of journalists to get out the facts. O’Keefe sees much contemporary media as having deviated from that responsibility, focusing instead on providing opinion, and plenty of it, often without transparency. In his quest for truth-telling, O’Keefe founded Project […]

What is really behind the apparent boom in the American economy? Against all odds, manufacturing jobs have grown at the highest rate in 20 years and what is the role of the Trump administration’s reset of China related policies in all of this?  This is American Thought Leaders and I am Jan Jekielek. Curtis Ellis […]

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claims that tens of thousands of people die annually from the flu, but what the public isn’t told is that these numbers come from controversial models that may greatly overestimate, which happens to align with the CDC’s stated aim of using fear marketing to increase demand for […]

Pollsters, stock pickers, and political prognosticators have been spectacularly wrong in their predictions in the recent past—so frequently that doing so has become the norm. Their overreliance on historical performance to attempt to predict the future has often proven to be fallacious. Twenty years ago they might have been justified in presuming that what happened […]

While it is widely believed that saturated fat, found in full-fat dairy, is detrimental to your health, no significant evidence has been found to prove this.
