Alternative Media Insights

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

GROK is a Crock.

The list is about ten years old. The SaidIt list lacks credible evidence, and the rhetoric of Makow may amplify these narratives. The United States is a colony of Israel. 30-50 members of Congress are Israeli citizens. The number is being kept under wraps. Artificial intelligence can be added to the list of oppressors. Despite the evidence on the left, GROK discounted this information when I asked how many members of Congress were Israeli dual citizens. The number of dual U.S.-Israeli citizens in Congress is zero if there is no data....

Should children take care of their elderly parents?

News from Russia

NOTE: By giving readers a glimpse into the Russian narrative, this section strives to humanize the country and its people, revealing that there is more to Russia than the sensationalized headlines and simplistic caricatures that frequently dominate Western news cycles. This nuanced perspective enables European readers to better understand Russia's complexities, interests, and concerns, ultimately fostering a more informed and balanced discourse on international relations and global affairs.

The hero of genetics is a fruit fly.

The fruit fly plays a critical role in scientific research and is often seen as an annoying kitchen visitor. The insect has proven to be indispensable in studying complex diseases. The fruit fly is one of the most studied organisms on Earth because of its genetic similarity to humans. Roughly 75% of the genes linked to human diseases are found in this small insect. Thanks to the fly's rapid life cycle, scientists can examine processes such as aging, neural degeneration, and cell proliferation in just a matter of days. Specific genes can be turned on or off in a laboratory setting. The fruit fly has the shortest path to understanding complex biological mechanisms, one that would take months and more resources to study in humans or rodents.

After Trumpism, the Post-American New World Civilization came to an end.

Donald J. Trump exploits the super power of the U.S. and uses it to skillfully but desperately play with the hopes and fears of people in the socio-political world of our era. The phenomenon of Trumpism is indicative of a historical point from the last stage of Pax Americana to a rapidly changing post-American new world order. "My whole life I've been greedy, I've grabbed all the money I could get," Trump said in a January 2016 rally. I'm greedy. I want to be greedy for the United States. Trump's economic strategy is based on greed and extortion. He uses "tariffs" against the rest of the world in trade. He blames the massive U.S. trade deficits on the rest of the world, just as a consumer would blame a supermarket for not buying enough from him....
