Reruns: Once As Tragedy, Twice As Farce

More likely these remakes-1) media-hyped progressive sweeps the polls and 2) US military used as SWAT team against Latin country- will be tragedies again.    
 A brief reminder of recent history.

Modern Gaileos Cave Before Church Of Vaccines

We read from Aaron Siri's book 'Vaccines, Amen' about a group of scientists who did a study comparing health outcomes in vaxed and unvaxed children.   The results were heretical, so the scientists refused to release them.   Today's version of burning at the stake is just as unappealing as the previous one was.

Casting Pearls Before Swine

Last week I talked about John Snow and Semmelweis, who were pioneers in public health and paid the price for being right.   Andrew Wakefield is this century's example.

Overview of the Church Of Vaccines

We discuss 'Vaccines, Amen' focusing on the 'Original Sin',  the 1986 Act that  immunized the drug companies from liability for injuries and deaths caused by vaccines.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

The attacks by the Science Establishment on heretics are nothing new.
Men in the 19th century were hounded to death for suggesting that contaminated water and bacteria-laden hands could cause illness. 

When The Truth Hurts-The One Who Tells It

A new documentary is out about a research group looking into thousands of records to find out if vaccinated children are actually healthier than unvaxed.   Spoiler alert: No.
"An Inconvenient Study" focuses on the lead researcher, a renowned doctor and scholar, who promised to release the results no matter what, but then chickened out when faced with the prospects of being attacked, fired, and having his license revoked, like other heretical doctors.  

Pathologizing Empathy

For all the talk about the importance of empathy, teen-aged girls are drugged more than 7x than the boys for feeling too deeply.     

Venezuela And The Lies The US Tells About It

I have been moved to Friday, so that is when my show will be posted from now on.   For my first show I repeated the rebuttal of the lies Trump and the media are telling about Maduro and Venezuela.                   As Mark Twain said, “a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes”, and the US controls the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda, so they spread lies around the world multiple times.

The Blob Speaks Out

A gaggle of retired judges decided to put out an open letter claiming that perjury is free speech, at least, when done by James Comey.          This is reminiscent of the time that a herd of retired spies put out an assessment that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian in origin.                 Matt Taibbi takes them down in an article.

US Turns To Payday Loans

The US government has shut down, pleading poverty too severe to meet payroll.   Their solution is to borrow more money.                       The People of the Past had different ideas on how money should be created and distributed for the common good*.*common good (archaic)-an obscure term used by people of the past to refer to generalized peace and prosperity for all citizens.
