BIG Mouth

By now, most in my network have noticed that the unique form of journalism at BIG Media is superior to that of our news media rivals in terms of accuracy and integrity. Having accomplished scientists and engineers do the research and present their findings logically, transparently (fully cited), and without sensationalism or expert testimony, is simply a better way to cover the big issues. For now, we are just a diminutive David aiming an under-sized slingshot at the...

In putting a bow on an amazing year of coverage from the incredible editorial team at BIG-Media.ca, I present my Top 10 Lessons Learned in 2024 (for each point, I have included a link that allows you to learn quickly if this is new information) ... 10. The U.S. government is finally starting to acknowledge government-directed COVID disinformation and the great harm done by the "lock-down-and-vaccinate" response to the COVID-19 pandemic – FINAL REPORT: COVID...

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… Twelve years of civil war ended…? This year we finally saw the fall of Syria’s Assad regime, which had been sought my millions since Arab Spring uprisings in 2011 devolved into outright civil war by 2012. Russian and Iranian military, as well as disastrous diplomatic efforts, kept Assad in power despite devote opposition.  The advance of rebel group Hayat Tahir al-Sham (HTS) took mere...

The BIG boss at BIG Media messaged me the other day looking for a story to wrap up 2024, perhaps giving our readers something to think about over the holidays when we (at least for those of us without small children or grandchildren) have a few spare moments to reflect. He suggested that I summarize some of the biggest lessons learned from my research this past year. As a consultant, I research a lot of different...

(Editor’s note: We asked our main editorial contributors to write about a key lesson – or lessons – learned in 2024. BIG Media Ltd. has a policy precluding promotion of individual businesses, so you will have to do the research if you wish to see which company Mr. Wilde has been leading.) Involvement in a successful employee-owned organization for over 30 years has taught me many things about the benefits to all involved in the...

All I want for Christmas this year is for the millions of people suffering from Stockholm syndrome to overcome an ailment that is agonizing not just for those afflicted, but for everyone around them. Wikipedia defines Stockholm syndrome as "a proposed condition or theory that tries to explain why hostages sometimes develop a psychological bond with their captors." The Grinches across the globe who gobbled up the grey matter of the gullible have been having their way with way too many...

In the action drama that is our modern life, far too many people have been consuming a steady diet of blue bills. And I am not talking about the blue pills that inspire aging leading men to reach the climax before their character is removed from the script. Rather, I am referring to the blue pills that allow people to continue living in (sometimes) blissful ignorance under the illusion of the Matrix. Those unwilling to take the other pill should stop reading...

Many assume that because I often publish articles criticizing and debunking climate alarmism, I must not care about the environment. This is simply not the case; I care a lot about the environment. In fact, technically, I qualify as an environmental activist. My activism starts with my personal life: I use my legs instead of an automobile to get around town, I purchase minimal packaging, I live in a small home, I have few possessions, and at least 90% of...

Dear gentleman at the restaurant who told me that he is instructing his children to avoid having kids because "It's unfair to have kids with the soaring temperatures and the climate catastrophe": Our weather here in Vancouver continues to be beautifully unpredictable in the short term but pretty darn steady – as documented in the adjacent chart using data from Environment and Climate Change Canada – when you look at the big picture. And the global...

If you believed that the U.S. election was a case of Good vs Evil, you received information from unreliable sources. Some of those sources are now busy sticking microphones in the faces of hicks from the sticks in an effort to make it look like the U.S. simply has too many dumb people who don't understand left from wrong. The truth is that millions of U.S. residents lost faith in a Democratic Party that portrayed itself as morally...
