THROWBACK THURSDAY: Science Sold Out
I started producing article-length content back in 2020 (after several years' prerequisite angry Facebook rants first...), and, as my audience has grown quite a bit since then, this is the first in a new series of 'throwback' pieces, to introduce newer readers to pieces of interest they might have missed the first time. Today's article […]
What can we expect as we enter 2024?
An update from my health resource, Informed Consent Matters A very Happy New Year to you from Informed Consent Matters, and we hope you've enjoyed a relaxing festive season, undisrupted by the waves of illness that seem to have plagued many households. The Telegraph newspaper reported that, this year, "everyone" would be getting "Covid for Christmas", and sadly, […]
Vital (real) public health information
(First published March 1st, 2023. Republished today to help alleviate the symptoms of SAD season and festive family feuds...) You should never live with a writer. I mean, that's not the public health information I was referring to, but it's good advice anyway, because writers get writers' block, and then they become really, utterly intolerable... […]
Christmas Quackery
"Good morning siblings," began my aunt's Christmas Eve message to her brother and sister. "Bad news from our family - we're not well. [Our daughter] has had a cold and had an emergency appointment with the GP on Thursday as her asthma had kicked off. She has a chest infection and is on antibiotics and […]
Reclaiming a response...
Just over seven months ago, I sent an open letter (co-signed by Vote Freedom Project's Jonathan Tilt) to former Conservative MP, Andrew Bridgen, regarding his recent apparent conversion to all things conspiratorial (a conversion I was, shall we say, less than convinced by...). In this letter, I asked him a number of key clarifying questions, […]
Deciphering the deception...
... along with a distinct sense of deja vu, as the headlines blare: "Child pneumonia cases surge in Europe, Netherlands the new victim." (source) "Pneumonia outbreak in children in US raises 'alarm'. Is it linked to China?" (source) And inevitably: "Fears Britain could be hit by own outbreak of China's 'mystery' pneumonia." (source) We knew […]
You know their name: but what's the game?
You may recall, a few months ago, the papers were buzzing with the news that "Madeleine McCann had been found" (possibly), courtesy of a German girl named Julia Wendell, claiming to be her. Julia's story was that she had been kidnapped as a young child, could not recall her earliest childhood, and had been a […]
I promised we would go there and we will...
A few articles ago, I alluded to the fact that I had pilfered my article's title from another, far more contentious area of debate than the one I was covering on that particular occasion. And as the one I was covering on that particular occasion was one of the most tempestuously debated in all of […]
Well, it had to happen
After seriously entertaining more or less the whole splendid compendium of 'conspiracy theory' out there, from aliens (are they real?) and astronauts (are they not?) through to Zionism (are ISIS Mossad?) and zoology (are pandas a hoax?*), I finally found a fringe theory I think is a shade of silliness too far... (*For reference, the […]
To discover the truth, discover the Overton Window...
Then defenestrate yourself through it, board it up, and run a long way away from it forever. For those who are new to the concept, the Overton Window is one of the most successful tools of political and cultural control in all of history, and it is defined as: "an approach to identifying the ideas […]
