It is time to take stock of what to date has been a mind-blowing third decade of the 21st century.
A lot of you are too busy to get into the weeds, but my incredible editorial team takes a machete to the nuisance material every day to shine a light on the roots of the big issues.
Because 21st-century attention spans have the longevity of a lightning bolt, I will present the summary through a series of brief statements. For those interested in details, I provide evidentiary links for each statement.
If you are skeptical after reading the linked articles, please challenge us. Our ultimate goal is to find common ground through intellectual empowerment and constructive, solution-oriented dialogue.
The overarching theme of the last 6.18 years has been recognition that you have been lied to.
- You were lied to about COVID… unless you were getting your news from BIG Media. While our media rivals opted to trust experts blindly rather than conduct proper investigative journalism, my team was documenting the relative lethality of COVID-19 (Assessing the relative lethality of COVID-19: a Canadian case study), causes of death during the pandemic by gender and age group (A look back at causes of death in the first year of COVID-19), disturbing findings related to excess deaths (Detailed analysis of 2021 death data reveals disturbing trends), fundamental principles of biomedical ethics and triage (Mounting COVID frustration is no reason to abandon fundamental principles Examining the ethics of triage in a pandemic), incidence and severity of vaccine injury (Analysis of severe events following COVID vaccine shows increased incidence of myocarditis and lymphadenopathy), how agenda-driven science produced misleading information (Higher rates of adverse events after mRNA vaccines interpreted poorly by study authors), and many other articles that helped readers successfully navigate the public health crisis. Each of our articles was reviewed for accuracy by a panel of four that included three accomplished data scientists, one of whom is an epidemiologist.
- You were lied to about climate change … unless you were getting your news from BIG-Media.ca. While our media rivals have been telling you that we are in the throes of a human-caused climate catastrophe, my team has been helping you understand that climate change and environmental science are deeply nuanced (Real climate science – uncertainty and risk), facts should not be ignored (Climate change and energy: context for the great debate Optimal holocene climate is in our rear-view mirror), expert testimony on sea level rise is often laughable (Portuguese comic rising even faster than global sea level), as is a group of scientists holding a funeral for an Icelandic glacier (Funeral for a glacier), global temperatures are not what they are made out to be (Full of hot air – global temperatures are usually not what they are made out to be), the supply of frozen water in Antarctica is NOT on thin ice (The Great White Shell Game – Antarctica’s frozen water supply is NOT on thin ice), “net zero” policies are fantasies focusing on unattainable emission targets with no regard for fundamental energy trends (https://big-media.ca/why-do-net-zero-advocates-continue-to-believe-humanity-will-achieve-2050-emissions-target/), the climate crisis narrative is controlled by three institutions (The climate cartel – how three institutions control the narrative), and planet Earth is no stranger to rapid climate change (Medieval vineyards and the question that shall not be asked).
- You were lied to about artificial intelligence. No, AI is not a benign, objective plaything that makes everything easier – AI’s regulatory landscape – who is watching the watchers? AI’s overhype cycle – separating reality from marketing How AI is going to terminate us.
- You were lied to about the Epstein files. But we have learned recently that government leaders were working with a convicted pedophile to compromise world leaders in business, politics, royalty, and academia. Oh, the power one wields when willing to put underage women in harm’s way in order to achieve political goals – Epstein tried to cozy up to Russian officials, including Putin, documents show Epstein: Recruitment of girls detailed in second document batch.
