Mr. Freshwater’s Classroom Crusade

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0800

AU.org - By Rob Boston - Mar. 01 (Special Report) - Jenifer Dennis remembers the shock she felt when she looked at her son Zachary’s arm one night in December of 2007. A section of the 13-year-old’s arm was covered with welts and blisters in the shape of a cross. “I compare it to a sunburn, curling iron burn or an oven burn,” Dennis said. “It was a red raised area that was swollen…. He had trouble sleeping that night.” When Dennis found out how her son was injured, her shock turned to anger: Zachary told his parents he had been burned at school by John Freshwater, an 8th grade science teacher at Mount Vernon Middle School in Mount Vernon, Ohio.

Déjà vu All Over Again

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0700

csicop.org - By Chris Mooney - Sep. 13 (News Analysis) - This is how it begins: Proponents of a fringe or non-mainstream scientific viewpoint seek added credibility. They're sick of being taunted for having few (if any) peer reviewed publications in their favor. Fed up, they decide to do something about it. These “skeptics” find what they consider to be a weak point in the mainstream theory and critique it. Not by conducting original research; they simply review previous work. Then they find a little-known, not particularly influential journal where an editor sympathetic to their viewpoint hangs his hat. They get their paper through the peer review process and into print. They publicize the hell out of it. Activists get excited by the study, which has considerable political implications.

Scientists in a flap over dinosaur nesting

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

bozemandailychronicle.com - By Gail Schontzler - Aug. 11 (News Report) - The science of the living and the science of the dead clashed Monday at a Museum of the Rockies symposium on dinosaur nesting and whether the creatures brooded on their nests like gigantic chickens. It was all very civilized, but it was hard not to miss a few feathers flying.

Most Scientists Politically Liberal (Reality Must Have a Liberal Bias)

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

AlterNet - By Steve Benen - Jul. 13 (Poll) - Only 9% of the scientists, meanwhile, consider themselves conservative, while fewer still (6%) identified themselves as Republicans. It's just speculation, but the party's hostility towards the basics of modern biology, global warming, and evidence-based reasoning may have something to do with this. Call it a hunch.

The Serpent and the Platypus

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0700

southernfriedscience.com - By Southern Fried Scientist (Andrew) - Apr. 19 (News Report) - Pound for pound, convergence is the most persuasive evidence for the truth of evolution out there; different lineages finding novel paths to the same solution. While I mostly talk about convergences in morphology, genetic convergence is often even more fascinating. Enter the bizarre case of the serpent and the platypus.

The New AgeThe New Age of Reason & Enlightenment:

Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Global Unity - By By John Webb; the ‘Host’ & Zhan: A messenger from the 24th Century. - May. 19 (Special Report) - Now that NewsTrust has done all the Political, Economic & Environmental stuff, here is something that will really 'shake up' the issue. This is a message from the 24th Century, which explains were we have gone wrong, and the solutions to surviving the consequences. In any other age, this message would be hailed as the 'Voice of God'. In truth this is what it has always been: Intuition, the voice of the Global Collective Mind: the Ghia, a voice from the future, the voice of Commonsense & Reason, which is accessible, through the subconscious, to every human & animal.

Global Warning! Waste Heat causes Global Warming, not CO2

Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Global Unity - By By John Webb; the ‘Host’ & Zhan: A messenger from the 24th Century. - May. 19 (Special Report) - Global Expansion is a prime example of mainstream science & quantum mechanics ignorance (to ignore & neglect) of the 'Conservation of Energy', the first law of thermodynamics, and the misconstruction of Einstein's Theories of Relativity. This 'corruption of the laws of physics' has also created a great impediment in he search for the holy grail of science: The Unified Theory. The fallacy of quantum mechanic's 'mathematical fantasy' has seriously 'infected' & influenced mainstream science, with disastrous affects we know as Global-Warming. Global-Unity & Cosmic-Dimension provide clear evidence that Global Warming is due to 'Bad Science' based on Quantic principles.

The Prophecies of Mitar Tarabich:

Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Global Unity - By By John Webb; the ‘Host’ & Zhan: A messenger from the 24th Century. - May. 19 (Special Report) - Predictions are not Prophecies until they 'come-to-pass', by which time it's too late to act-upon, usually resulting in much 'Lamentation' & suffering by people claiming that they had no Warning! The virtually unknown Prophet: Mitar Tarabich; an illiterate Serbian peasant who died in 1899, made some uncannily clear & accurate predictions up till around 2015. There are many prophets, including the Mayans & Nostradamus et al, who predicted a Global Apocalypse around the years 2000-2013. I discovered Tarabich's prophecies around Feb 2008, 13-years after Zhan's first contact. I was amazed-shocked at the 'frightening' similarity of Zhan's & Tarabich's prophecies.

Global Warming: The Nazi Conspiracy - Legacy based on Heisenberg's 'Uncertainty Principle'

Mon, 19 May 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Global Unity - By By John Webb; the ‘Host’, Zhan: A messenger from the 24th Century. - May. 19 (Special Report) - After more than 100 years, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, although totally misunderstood, is still the best basis of our understanding of classical & atomic physics. Einstein's and his theories have been denigrated and misconstrued, initially as part of the 'Nazi Conspiracy', later to satisfy the mathematical fantasies of quantum mechanics. The 'Nazi Conspiracy' is a factual story of the consequential Chaos and Scientific corruption, which is the real, fundamental cause of Global Warming, and an imminent Global Apocalypse. The 'American Dream' and blatant encouragement of waste and over-consumption is another 'spin-off' of the Nazi Conspiracy and cause of Global Warming.

Darwin Was Right: Natural Selection Speeds Up Speciation

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700

ScienceDaily - Apr. 08 (News Report) - In the first experiment of its kind conducted in nature, a University of British Columbia evolutionary biologist has come up with strong evidence for one of Charles Darwin's cornerstone ideas -- adaptation to the environment accelerates the creation of new species. "A single adaptive trait such as color could move a population towards the process of forming a new species, but adaptation in many traits may be required to actually complete the formation of an entirely new species," says UBC post-doctoral fellow Patrik Nosil, whose study is just published.* "The more ways a population can adapt to its unique surroundings, the more likely it will ultimately diverge into a separate species."
