Can the Catholic Church just no longer be bothered to make a token effort to hide the obvious? The Vatican’s department of missionary activities recently paid $35 million to house its officials within a building that also contains Europa Multiclub, an anonymous men’s hookup club that claims to be the “number-one gay sauna in Italy,” the BBC reports: A historic palazzo in Rome that houses a key Vatican department is also the home of a well-known gay sauna. The Vatican...

I’ve likened my gastronomic habits to that of a catfish: If I’m hungry, I’ll be happy to eat just about anything that floats by. I credit my lack of pickiness to growing up in a home where there weren’t a lot of home-cooked meals, so it was catch as catch can. (I also developed terrible eating habits, which I’m still addressing, but that’s a story for another time.) Anyway, I’d cheerfully eat an insect-based meal – especially if it’s nutritious...

(Note from the editor: I regret that we weren’t able to run this on April 9 due to site upgrades, but it’s still an important story and worthy of your consideration.) Tell me this doesn’t reek of abuse victims becoming perpetrators. Raouf J. Halaby writes in Counterpunch: Even though April 9, 1948, is a day of infamy for Palestinians, few commemorative ceremonies will be held. Sixty-Five years ago today organized Jewish terrorist groups, including the Irgun and Stern gangs, attacked...

Could parenting difficulties be attributable to Satanic possession of your children? Top anti-demon website DemonBuster reveals: We received the following email about a woman learning DELIVERANCE, and practicing DELIVERANCE on her young child: “Well my baby boy has been difficult to potty-train. I would sit him in the toilet for a long time and nothing would happen. So I got really mad, sat him in the potty and told him he had to “go”. The baby started screaming and I...

How does it work? Algorithms, duh. Via the Telegraph: Ali Razeghi, a Tehran scientist has registered “The Aryayek Time Traveling Machine” with the state-run Centre for Strategic Inventions. The device can predict the future in a print out after taking readings from the touch of a user, he told the Fars state newsagency. Razaeghi, 27, said the device worked by a set of complex algorithms to “predict five to eight years of the future life of any individual, with 98...

As you all know, we’re not scared of a conspiracy theory or two here at disinformation, but we’re also skeptical, wanting to hear multiple views. Not so Jeff Nesbit of US News: There’s just no polite way to put it. There are big, entire parts of American society that believe in things that just aren’t true – and a recent national survey by Public Policy Polling only confirms it. Name your conspiracy theory, and some segment of America believes it,...

Maybe. Russ McSpadden writes at Earth First! Newswire: Pollinators participate in the sexual-reproduction of plants. When you eat an almond, beet, watermelon or sip on coffee, you’re partaking of an ancient relationship between pollinators and flowers. But since the 1990s, worldwide bee health has been in decline and most evidence points to toxic pesticides created by Shell and Bayer and the loss of genetic biodiversity due to the proliferation of GMO monocrops created in laboratories by biotech companies like Monsanto....

Wikipedia on depressive realism, the theory that those with depression are free from the “optimism bias” that skews most people’s perception of the world: Depressive realism is the proposition that people with depression actually have a more accurate perception of reality, specifically that they are less affected by positive illusions of illusory superiority and optimism bias. Studies by psychologists Alloy and Abramson (1979) and Dobson and Franche (1989) suggested that depressed people appear to have a more realistic perception of...

Via orwellwasright: If there’s one thing the British government and its media mouthpieces can rely on it’s a general public who are quite happy to spread their propaganda for them – not since the riots of 2011 have I witnessed such a degree of slavish, unthinking repetition of falsehoods and lies as can be seen on forums and social media networks in response to the recent wave of cuts to the welfare system. It’s as if people have lost the...

Cynthia McKinney speaking at a the Atlanta Music Liberty Fest this past Saturday April 6th, 2013 Cynthia candidly presents on the need to declare independence from the bi-partisan political machinations which ensnare all of us via a return to constitutional precepts, the sordid history of COINTELPRO in fighting against populist uprisings and the manufactured divisions which we must surmount through open communication, compassion, understanding and love. Here is to building bridges between all who seek truth, liberty, and justice for...
