Police Seize 10 Children From ‘Off-Grid’ Homeschool Family

"Friends reported no concerns about how the children were being treated by the parents, who follow an educational model called 'unschooling' where the children decide their own curriculum based on the subjects that interest them and what their strengths are."

"Let’s be very clear about this – Joe and Nicole had done nothing to violate the law whatsoever.  All of their kids were happy, healthy and very intelligent.  But because the control freaks running things in Kentucky got wind of their 'off the grid lifestyle', they have now had all of their children unlawfully abducted from them."

Flawed Medical Research May Be Ruining Your Health

"The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue."

The Roswell Slides That Aren’t!

"This event, in my opinion, has done more damage to UFOlogy than anything else, and those behind it should be questioned on what their true motives really are. To decline interviews because they aren’t paying, speaks volumes."

 "The biggest tragedy in this utterly sorry saga is that Roswell – in my view, anyway – is still a genuine enigma of very mysterious proportions. But, the slides have done nothing but utterly damage the investigation into what really happened on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County, New Mexico in the summer of 1947. And, just maybe, the slides have damaged the investigation to a 100 percent, irreversible degree."

How to win any argument: pseudo-scientific neuro-gibberish

"Neuroscientific explanations – involving phrases such as 'prefrontal cortex' and 'neural circuitry' – were consistently rated the most convincing, even when the information was pointless and offered no further insight. The authors concluded that participants found neuroscience to be the most alluring explanation for psychological findings, even when it shouldn’t be."

Who’s Crazy Now? American Psychological Association Supported Torture “At Every Critical Juncture”

"The involvement of health professionals in the Bush-era interrogation program was significant because it enabled the Justice Department to argue in secret opinions that the program was legal and did not constitute torture, since the interrogations were being monitored by health professionals to make sure they were safe."

Night of horror at Ben Gurion airport for two French music students

"Every year, at Ben Gurion airport, numerous visitors from a variety of origins are treated similarly. Their most elementary human rights are flouted: violation of intimacy, psychological torture, dehumanization, racism, theft, trauma. Few of them present a real danger to Israel. In this way, Israel interferes with the smooth development of a great number of humanitarian, cultural, and other projects. At present, nothing is done about this. What happens at that border is unknown to all."
