Today, we’re giving you History version 1.2.9–what we know right now about the world. Of course, history is fluid because it doesn’t represent what actually happened, but rather what people say happened. And, as we know, the gulf between historical fact and fiction can be very wide, causing different versions and revisions of history. On [...]

So many of our brains are in chains, and we cannot think beyond that which has been propagandized with us in mind. Many of the things that target us are not for our benefit, but rather are intended to provide economic gain for those who scheme to dupe us with the ultimate mind screw. Blacks [...]

Never pass up the opportunity to hear history told from the vantage point of someone who actually lived it. If our desire is to understand the “who, what, where, when, how, and why” questions about the events of today, we must understand history–what proceeded or even facilitated these events. History books never tell the full [...]

Last week’s election brought up old wounds the populace has with the Electoral College, and with good reason. The idea of the Electoral College comes from the United States Constitution, Article II Section 1. Changes to the document added the 12th Amendment, passed in 1804. Basically, it grants the states electoral delegates equal to the [...]

Summary There has been a “drug culture” since the dawn of civilization. Sumerian cuneiform tablets from 3000 BC show a poppy harvest, as do ancient Egyptian scripts and Greek statues adorned with poppy crowns. Far more recently, Freud sung the praises of cocaine, which was included in the original recipe for Coca-Cola. But since the [...]

Summary “It’s impossible not to remember the bombshell Forum press conference that autumn Thursday, and, like the JFK assassination or Challenger explosion, where we were when we heard it. “The Announcement” shows what happened behind the scenes: how Johnson learned of his illness, the anxiety over telling family and teammates and the fallout that occurred [...]

One of the things that we’re constantly challenging is the threshold for truth. What is the standard people use to determine whether something is true or not?

[...]

The Aurora, Colorado theater massacre has reignited the debate about gun control in the country. There are many people who believe that gun control would have prevented such an occurrence.

Summary Jacques Ellul was a French theologian/sociologist and anarchist. He first became well-known to American readers when his book The Technological Society was published in English in 1964. This book leveled a broad critique of technique, a term that means more than gadgets and machines – as the English word technology means. For Ellul, technique [...]

There are so many ways to be “missing a head,” yet all of them are tragic in their own way. Sometimes peoples’ minds are so filled with propaganda that they become headless. And then, there are those who become physically headless as a result of the violent conflicts the U.S. wages abroad. Heit & Cheri [...]

When you stop to take a look around at the world in which we live, how can anyone deny that there is a guilty consciousness in our midst? We mindlessly allow those who have the most money, the most authority, and the most power to abuse the least among us. The masses are far too [...]
