For example, which congressman spent $91,000 in 2013 for a getaway at Dorado Beach Club, a luxury resort in Puerto Rico known for its championship golf courses and plantation-style residences? That would be Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, who has lamented the … Continue reading The fabulous life of your US legislator

Is Everything in the Mainstream Media Fake? – 6 Examples of Media Manipulation

Fernando Kaskais

The world of television and modern media has become a tool of de-evolution, propaganda and social control. Since the reign of Edward Bernays and the rise of the Tavistock Institute in the early 20th century, nearly unlimited resources have been applied to understanding how to manipulate the human psyche through television and other forms of mass media. What we have today is an increasingly sophisticated full-spectrum assault on free will and psychological well-being, and we have come to a point where it is no longer even necessary for media institutions to attempt to hide their blatant work of manipulating public … Continue reading Is Everything in the Mainstream Media Fake? – 6 Examples of Media Manipulation

The Narcostate

Fernando Kaskais

Poppies grown in Afghanistan. | Stanley Greene/NOOR It’s perhaps not surprising that Tajikistan, which shares a poorly guarded, 750-mile border with opium-rich Afghanistan, has become a major global drug-trafficking hub—in fact, more than 80 percent of Afghanistan’s heroin exports to Russia and Europe now pass through Tajik territory. Over the past decade, the United States, worried that the drug trade would soon be accompanied by all the other security problems that plague Afghanistan, has cooperated closely with Tajikistan’s government to help it stem the narcotics trade. Seems reasonable, right? Unfortunately, that government is such a dubious partner that hundreds of … Continue reading The Narcostate

Maybe the brain studies will by Shruti Ravindran Heavy-set, with a soft-jowled face, King has a distinctly ursine air about him. We first meet at a Wendy’s in downtown Brooklyn, his teddy-bearishness rounded out by a plushy layer of cocoa-coloured velour tracksuit with a matching hoodie, T-shirt, and beanie hat. He is a garrulous, flirty raconteur. He leans in close over the small white plastic … Continue reading Twilight in the Box

Human Echolocation: A Story of Hidden Senses

Fernando Kaskais

by Martin Clemens How many senses do you have?  Five?  Sight, smell, touch, taste, hearing?  Sure, but what would you say if I told you that you have far more than just those five?  You might be thinking something like PSI or ESP or some kind of intangible mental power accounts for our sixth sense, and while I won’t deny that as a possibility, that isn’t what I’m talking about. Your body is literally filled with sense organs.  Biological machines that each serve a purpose related to keeping you going strong, and making sure you know what’s happening around you.  … Continue reading Human Echolocation: A Story of Hidden Senses

Here’s What Happens When You Black Out: ‘Transient Amnesia’ Blocks Short-Term Memory Formation

Fernando Kaskais

By John Ericson Hyperbole in the 2010s comes in clinical terms: Today, we are paranoid about bills, addicted to espresso, and schizophrenic about life choices. Usually, this usage is a sure way of telling that the person talking does not suffer from any of these afflictions. The hallmark of paranoia, after all, is a refusal to acknowledge that one is being, well, paranoid. But there is one instance that appears to be just as commonplace as the rhetoric would have you believe. Blacking Out People say they black out all the time: at parties, during arguments, while taking tests, and … Continue reading Here’s What Happens When You Black Out: ‘Transient Amnesia’ Blocks Short-Term Memory Formation

What Determines The Value of Something?

Fernando Kaskais

by JOSH RICHARDSON Our perception of our own self-worth is how we ultimately judge the value of anything outside of ourselves. It could be anything…a relationship, a great functional pair of shoes, or a reliable piece of technology. You never know how valuable something is until it’s gone and you rarely realize it while you have it. When we appreciate everything in our lives, we have a sense of gratitude for the simple things that make a difference. The more you are grateful, the more things will come into your life to be grateful for, and consequently value becomes a … Continue reading What Determines The Value of Something?
