From Douma to Xinjiang to Bucha, the U.S. empire’s atrocity propaganda is the same“Humanitarianism” is the weapon that modern U.S. imperialism uses as the cornerstone in its campaigns to destabilize countries and regions. By presenting its violence as a selfless effort to save the people it targets, the empire can not just claim its hands are clean, but pose as heroic. It’s a natural evolution from the “white man’s burden,” repackaged for the modern age where the United States pretends to not be racist. And it fits perfectly into the falsely progressive and enlightened brand of liberalism in the social media age, which hides its support for oppressive systems beh... read more

Quantum Darwinism Isn't Exclusively Probabilistic, According To Generalized Probabilistic Theory PaperAt the very large and very small scale, Newtonian gravity does not work the way it should. The universe should not be expanding and forget trying to explain quantum mechanics. Trying to detail why electrons can behave as both particles and waves, depending on the experimental context in which they are observed, is challenging.

TLR7 Mutation Is A Genetic Cause Of LupusA genetic analysis found a single point mutation in the TLR7 gene and then identified other cases of severe lupus where this gene was also mutated. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease which causes inflammation in organs and joints, affects movement and the skin, and causes fatigue. In severe cases, symptoms can be debilitating and complications can be fatal. The work resulted from whole genome sequencing on the DNA of a Spanish child named Gabriela, who was diagnosed with severe lupus when she was 7 years old. Such a severe case with early onset of symptoms is rare and indicates ... read more

The Dresden Codex and the Mysterious Origin of VenusIn his 1950 book, *Worlds in Collision*, Immanuel Velikovsky posited that Venus was released as a comet or comet-like object by Jupiter in 1500 BC, and that it passed close to earth.

According to Velikovsky, this resulted in massive catastrophes on earth which have been chronicled in ancient mythologies from around the world.

Someone took a poll of law professors and, as I recall, 85% said they thought the decision was wrong. *Roe* has had a negative impact on both the Supreme Court and on American politics.

It is about interpreting what the law is. The legislatures of the states are the democratic institutions that pass laws on such matters. read more
