Science and religion why the political conflict?
Science and religion why the political conflict? Science and religion can co-exist There seems to be such conflict, especially at the extremes of various belief systems, that science and religion are in opposition, so you can not consider both valid. Reading a fictional book by Raymond Khoury called The Sign, a fictional thriller with a complex plot that involves manipulation of religious fervor by use of a futuristic, and rather unlikely, scientific invention; the suggestion that religious fundamentalists do not accept science in any way is brought to the fore. So let us consider both and how politics gets involved.

The Price of Human Life
How long must we weep at the altar of logic and reason before the world makes sense again? As a purveyor and lover of dystopian fiction and weird obsession with tyrannical governments of history, I can't help but feel this is the catalyst to the apocalyptic fallout looming over the horizon. Economic turmoil, civil unrest, groups of people wrongfully blaming other groups of people for the nation's problems, systematic maiming and murdering of political dissentors, a plague wreaking havoc faster than research can be conducted for a vaccine...the checklist has more checks than empty boxes.

Why I Support The Police.
I am going to say it here and now: I back the blue. Regardless if they are county police, sheriff's officers, or highway patrol, I support our law enforcement officials with a passion. And this is not limited to American officers of the law either, this goes out to police around the world.

'Covid' Ops: A great Gates deception?
From predicting a global pandemic, including a World Economic Forum simulation of such an event, to a patent for coronavirus, plus the funding of the most likely source of its release were it not to have developed naturally, the mark of Bill Gates is written all over the Covid19 chaos unfolding around the world.

Racism is not manufactured
Click open any social media platform today, and you will see a plethora of opinions on today's racially charged environment. Some claim it is systemic and has just been well hidden until our current leadership allowed it to be "okay". Others claim that it is just a construct of the so-called "liberal media", and is being manufactured to create a reason to riot, pillage and destroy.

DOWN COMES CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
Christopher Columbus lived during a time where racism was not heard of . Slavery was something that was the norm . It was not considered wrong at that time, it was just something that you did. Columbus is a very controversial part of history . It is said that one of the controversies was his treatment of the indigenous people, which where the Indians , he had as slaves, and the violence he shed on them. Others say he was a hero who set out to discover if the word was round and ,in his adventures accidentally discovered America. So was Columbus a hero or a villain, I don't really know. What I do know is that he is part of history. And that is what his statues symbolizes for me. History is very important. If we don't study it and learn from it , we are certain to repeat it.

This A Photograph Of The Toxic Media Culture In Britain
We remember the three-year-old girl who would now be a teenager—probably planning another family beach holiday. In a year time, she would be off to university. Maybe she would follow her parents' path to medical school. Instead, she is frozen in time—the blonde three years old girl who vanished from the holiday apartment she was staying with the rest of her family on 3 May 2007.

One Flew Over the Cuckold Press: A Lifetime of Fake News Backfires!. Top Story - June 2020.
The big mainstream media organisations and all of their many collaborators are in imminent danger. The many years of spinning and falsifying news stories for the police, national intelligence services, big corporations, and the various western governments, have caught up with them. Most of the so-called “professional journalists” today are little more than parrots repeating the official establishment lines and avoiding conflict with any official body by complying with all their wishes without any questions asked.

I Will Not Grieve if Covid-19 kills Neoliberalism.
The old world we know seems so long ago. We who have been furloughed or can work from home have adapted to a new quasi monastic order where we are allowed out to exercise, attend a doctor or service the economy by buying food and alcohol.
