Since we first turned our dreams of travelling to the moon into a reality, there has been controversy. Some believe that most of the landing footage was faked, and others believe we never even went there, despite there being plenty of evidence suggesting we did. But here’s the tricky part — some of the footage from various Apollo missions might indeed have been faked or even “refurbished.” Many insiders have also accused NASA of doing things like this, but, based on the information we have from sources like these, and many others, it seems the problem is not that we didn’t get to the moon, but rather what we found — and concealed from the public — when we got there. In fact, the Russian government has accused the U.S. of concealing film footage. Agency insiders, like Norman Bergrun (view some of his publications for NASA, where he worked for more than a decade,  here ), or   Bob Dean, United States Army Command Sergeant Major, who also served at the Supre...

It’s no joke. John Green, British ex-pat, is hawking “fresh mountain air” from the Swiss Alps online, stating, “the air in the mountains is like champagne [so] I decided I had better start selling it.” While it may be true that the air in the mountains of Switzerland is pristine, especially compared to cities like Beijing, New York, Mumbai, and others, Green’s desire to make a buck off of the sad state of the world’s environment is akin to the Nestle corporation trying to privatize water by extracting it and selling it back to citizens whom they stole it from, for thousands times it original cost. Green’s site says , “claim yours while stocks last.” He supposedly collects the air near a babbling mountain steam, and he’ll sell you some in three different sizes: a pint costs $97, a quart $167, and a 3/4 gallon jar will run you $247. He also suggests you put it in your freezer when it arrives, and open it for the “best experience.” Though Green states he plans to give 25% of the pr...

80 students were ordered out of class last week in Minneapolis, Minnesota because they didn’t provide evidence that they received vaccines. According to a local CBS News article: “Rochester Public School Board members voted last week to enforce a state law that requires students be immunized or be officially exempt for reasons such as health or religion. Students had to submit the proper paperwork to the school district in order to prove they are exempt by Wednesday. The Rochester School district said the decision to prohibit students from attending class that did not have official documentation that they received their vaccines is simply enforcing a state law.” It sounds like the school had a choice to comply with the law or not. Even if they were told by the state they don’t have a choice, they do. The school has chosen to comply with coercing students into getting measles, tetanus, mumps, and chicken pox vaccines, which contain things such as mercury or aluminum and cause m...

Turn on the TV or scroll through your social media, and I bet you’ll find yourself wrapped up in angering, saddening, confusing, and depressing news stories. Yes, they exist, and yes, we need to know what’s going on in our communities and in the world, but with so much bad in the world, it’s important to put all the good news right up there with all the bad. Constant exposure to negative news can have detrimental and long-lasting psychological effects. British psychologist Dr. Graham Davey, who specializes in the psychological effects of media violence, notes that violent media exposure can trigger or worsen the development of stress, anxiety, depression, and  post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). “Negative news can significantly change an individual’s mood — especially if there is a tendency in the news broadcasts to emphasize suffering and also the emotional components of the story,” Davey says . “In particular… negative news can affect your own p...

Four years ago, Edward Snowden accomplished one of the most significant intelligence leaks in U.S. history, confirming to the world that the government really does spy on you. Two years later, Samsung casually warned the public that their Smart TVs could record their living room banter. Now, even if you’re alone in a room, if that room contains a laptop, computer, or Smart TV, it’s possible that someone out there is listening to you, and even watching you. The worst part? You wouldn’t even know. A new technology called  TVision Insights was recently launched, allowing companies to monitor TV watchers’ viewing habits. This means that they can literally watch you as you watch TV, and the technology even records data on where your eyes are looking, when you’re distracted, and what emotions you’re conveying. How TVision Insights Watches You Watch TV I first came across the technology when Edward Snowden tweeted the following image on February 26, 2017. As you can see,...

The island of Ta-u in American Samoa has seen its setbacks. Space and resources are limited, making it difficult for human communities to thrive. The island used to rely entirely on imported diesel fuel for its electricity, but, in an effort to create a more sustainable future, hundreds of residents are participating in a new solar energy project. One of the five main islands in the South Pacific that make up American Samoa, Ta’u is very isolated, boasting just under 600 residents. The island has historically shipped in everything they can’t grow, including the fuel that powers their electricity system. “I recall a time they weren’t able to get the boat out here for two months,” notes Keith Ahsoon , a local resident whose family owns one of Ta’u’s food stores.”We rely on that boat for everything, including importing diesel for the generators for all of our electricity.” The generators burn about 300 gallons of fuel per day, which adds up to an estimated 109,500 ga...

The majority of us who attended public school probably have dreadful memories of enforced drudgery —  being forced to sit at our desks, listen to the teacher, memorize textbooks, and complete tests based on that rote memorization. As horrible as this sounds, it’s actually been getting worse. Physical education, art, and music classes are slowly being phased out of school curriculums, which inevitably means more desk time, memorization, and regurgitation. Naturally, children are acting out more than ever before. Children aren’t meant to be sitting for hours on end; they are meant to be playing, observing, and learning through experiences rather than through facts read in a book. Resistant to this type of education, children are being labelled with disorders such as ADHD at an alarming rate and then medicated to ensure their conformity. But what if these children don’t have a problem at all? What if it is the current school system that is the problem?...
