I have been telling people for years that the problem is sugar, not fat. That the sugar lobby is more concentrated and therefore more powerful than the fat lobby. The fat lobby is diverse and not all fats are equal.

I have also objected to “believing in the science” because science is not supposed to be a religion but an ongoing search for the verifiable truth.

I am not a scientist at all but I am a strong supporter of critical thinking. I appreciate your article so much!!

In other words, make sure it isn't the fox guarding the hen house.

Here's some wisdom to throw on the fire. Break every restraint, every limit of your thinking, always expand consciousness. Push through boundaries respectfully, gather strength and bide time. Use the correct moment to strike at the weakest point of an argument or behavior. Courage, my brethren as courage allows an override to fearful control. The rust has no defense when somebody says you know what, I will choose to suffer to know truth and defend life! Challenge everything with courage and wisdom and build your signal to the infinite. We are breaking out of this hell hole mind prison.

Thanks Ethan!

“The process where false facts are created through circular citation. A lie is planted, a reputable outlet cites it, and then the original source cites the outlet as proof. The lie eats its own tail until it becomes a “Fact.” Tell: every link points to another headline, not the original data.”

This fits the COVID deception quite comfortably and, in fact, the pseudoscience of virology as well.

It is also the root of the Russia Russia hoax, beginning with the purchased Steele Dossier and the Mother Jones publishing it.

Critical thinking is paramount. Don’t believe the source until you find the truth out for yourself. I’m tired of asking ‘did you get that from social media?’ & yes being invariably the answer! Or Fox News for that matter. Use multiple sources with a reputation for being unbiased, accurate etc. Then make your own mind up. For example - the SOTU address was 100% a pile of 💩

Can you share 1 single issue/ moment of the address which you can identify as BS?

You blanket state a toddler’s tantrum, tossing your peas all about the high chair you are strapped into. Go on, identify a statement the President made that you think is not a fact. Come on man, as the autopen dementia former president might say when challenged.

Why not instead or treating information as direct fact, you question your own sources, and look yourself. Is the burden of truth not on us all including you?

Only one? You’re making things far too easy for me. Perhaps as I’m not American I have a unique perspective from the outside looking in. I couldn’t actually bear to put myself through 1.5 hours of that droning drivel. Instead I watched the much more uplifting & hopeful People’s SOTU address organised by the Meidas Touch & Parnas Perspective. I then watched ‘highlights’ (if you could call them that) from the worst excuse of a president ever to serve the American people.

Let’s look at the whole thing shall we & then if you have any information that goes against or disproves this narrative I will prepare myself accordingly to try & endure putting myself through it.
