Free speech and freedom of expression are often assumed to be inherent qualities of being a modern human being.

However, modern life is also very much aligned with technology, where freedom has very limited currency, because it gets in the way of the larger project of the entire Internet which is the establishment of vast communities that, hive-like, depend upon like-mindedness.

Researchers at USC used federal funds to compile a “corpus” of “hate speech” on Gab, the First Amendment-friendly social media network that provides an alternative to increasingly censorious platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

The Hong Kong government and corporations reacted late to the coronavirus but when they did act, the actions were borderline extreme.  More than a month later there are still questions.  The overall damage of the virus is not nearly as severe as originally feared.

The coordinated and stepped-up effort to eliminate vaccine exemptions and impose new vaccine mandates was, without a doubt, one of 2019’s top stories, both nationally and internationally.

One of the primary weapons in the anti-vaccine-choice arsenal was measles hysteria—whipped up by a biased media willing to use false talking points to demonize the unvaccinated while ignoring or glossing over measles vaccination’s flawed track record.

A well-defined ocean warming trend originating off the United States East Coast is likely from super-heated and methane-enriched fluids emitted from numerous seafloor hydrothermal vents/hot springs (see figure 1 after the jump).

Former Iceland Prime Minister fed up with climate tourism: Glaciers used to be smaller than today

Many glaciers are currently shrinking, as they have always done in the past when the climate warmed up. What’s the news on the glacier front?

According to many governments and the mainstream media there is no association of ASD and Aluminum Adjuvants in vaccines, because “any link between immunization and autism has been completely discredited” [1].

A few commentators have begun to stumble towards the fact that the policy of becoming “carbon neutral” by 2050, as adopted by the UK and the EU, would undo modernity itself.

On Unherd, Peter Franklin observes that, if carried through, the policy will have a far greater effect than Brexit or anything else; it will transform society altogether.

Review: The new The Sky Dragon Slayers Victory Lap is the follow up to Slaying the Sky Dragon (2011) which I previously reviewed (see here), the foreword written by Dr. Tim Ball, I have also reviewed some of Dr Ball’s books.

An editorial published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine speculated that the coronavirus currently causing panic in world markets could turn out no worse than “a severe seasonal influenza” in terms of mortality.

Relying on hackneyed talking points and junk science from climate alarmists, UK politics Professor Catriona McKinnon makes her case for locking up man-made global warming deniers. She writes:

The “greenhouse (GH) effect” is the IPCC’s basic concept in global warming. The anthropogenic (man-made) global warming theory is based on the enhanced GH effect caused by GH gases.

There have been many comments on net pages that how carbon dioxide having only 400 ppm concentration can lead to so much warming as proposed by the IPCC.

Lately, we’ve been hearing reports of how Arctic sea ice has (unexpectedly) reached normal levels this winter.

This is a bit of good news that the media avoids mentioning.

To begin this article, I would like to give you a brief introduction to Dr. Jerry Tennant, his background and journey from chronic disease to good health. I will continue to quote excerpts from his book as he explains how voltage relates to pH and why pH is very important to the health of ALL living creatures.

From a comment:

m: “Three up to date alarmist arguments for GHE:

1. Absorption spectrum of CO2 seen from satellites proves heat is “trapped”
2. Increase in “effective radiating level” from more CO2 causes surface to warm
3. IR cameras like FLIR prove back radiation effect

It’s hard to keep up with all the nonsense.”

What sank the lost continent of Zealandia? If you said its crust was too thin to support this land mass – only recently (2017) confirmed to be a continent and not a piece broken off of the ancient supercontinent original continent of Gondwana – then you’re a follower of the conventional wisdom shared by most modern geophysicists (a good crowd to be in).
