Officials Declare ‘Eating Healthy’ a Mental Disorder

"In short, if you turn your back on low quality, corporate food containing known cancer causing toxic additives and a rich history of dishonesty rooted in a continuous 'profits over people' modus operandi, then you may suffer from a mental illness. The cherry on top is that if you have the pseudo-science labeled disorder of orthorexia nervosa, you will be prescribed known toxic, pharmaceutical drugs from some of the same conglomerate corporations that you are trying to avoid by eating healthy in the first place."

Pro-Vaccine Propaganda Setting Stage For Ugly End-Game Scenario

"The issue is not about whether vaccines work. Vaccines can be a great tool to control disease if used properly. The issue is about ethics. Know that in modern medicine ethics is highly emphasized, and violating a patient's basic rights is at the heart of this matter. Anyone can research a pharmacology book and confirm that there are no medicines or vaccines available in these modern times that are so flawless that they justify forceful administration."

The sinister treatment of dissent at the BBC

"The scandal is simply this: the BBC is forcing out or demoting the journalists who exposed Jimmy Savile as a voracious abuser of girls.

Well done mainstream media. Well done."

Anti-science advocates are freaking out about Google truth rankings

"'They’re very good at debunking myths if they upset liberals,' he said, 'but if it’s a liberal or left-wing falsehood, the fact-checkers don’t seem as excited about debunking it.'"

Narrative and the New Nihilism

"This isn't an argument for that old time religion. I realize that we've reached the same point the Romans did when Jupiter no longer made sense. But I don't think Scientism is a viable replacement, especially given that it seems to be just a stop on the road to full-bore nihilism.

I realize we are one of those great turning points in history. But these are the times when empires fall. The media and the educational system - more totalitarian than any previous regime dreamed of being - has raised a generation with no loyalty to anything but its own reflection. To what end? I don't think that's truly been thought through."
