‘They Live’ Movie is Released

‘They Live’ is a science-fiction movie from the Eighties that features aliens, a WWF wrestler and a whole lot of sunglasses. What’s not to like?

Is the movie describing what we call the ...

6 years ago

Chinese authorities are now taking steps in rural areas of China to intensify the ongoing crackdown on Christian gatherings often known as house churches.

In documents obtained by Bitter Winter magazine, monetary incentives are spelled out based on the specific report and its impact. For example, a document issued by a subdistrict in Nanyang city in China’s … Read More

Socialist AOC’s Top Aide Diverted $1 Million In Campaign Funds To Private Companies In “Elaborate Scheme”

6 years ago

Is there anything a Socialist loves more than other people’s money? Apparently not— especially in the case of Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s top Harvard educated aide, 33-year-old Saikat Chakrabarti, who allegedly funneled a pretty massive sum of money into his own private companies. The former Bernie Sanders organizer seems to attach his wagon to “public servants” whose primary focus is serving the poor and downtrodden. According to the Washington Examiner – Two political action committees founded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s top aide funneled over $1 million in political … Read More

Study: Money Only Buys Happiness for a Certain Amount

7 years ago

They say that money can’t buy happiness… …or can it? A recent study showed that money can buy happiness, but only a certain amount. We can call this a baseline level of happiness. The researchers concluded that the ideal income for individuals is $95,000 a year for life satisfaction and $60,000 to $75,000 a year for emotional well-being, with families with children needing more. What happens after that level of income is reached? The study went on to conclude that once that threshold is reached, further income is actually associated with reduced … Read More

French Historian Reynald Secher Discovered Documents in the National Archives in Paris Confirming Genocide during the French Revolution

14 years ago

On March 4 2011, the French historian Reynald Secher discovered documents in the National Archives in Paris confirming what he had known since the early 1980s: there had been a genocide during the French Revolution.1 Historians have always been aware of widespread resistance to the Revolution. But (with a few exceptions) they invariably characterize the rebellion in the Vendée (1793-95) as an abortive civil war rather than a genocide. In 1986, Secher published his initial findings in Le Génocide franco-français, a lightly revised version of his doctoral dissertation.2 … Read More

‘The X-Files’ Spinoff Predicted 9/11 Six Months Before Tragedy

24 years ago

The X-Files, being a wildly popular and relatively groundbreaking show for its time, wound up spawning a spinoff — The Lone Gunmen. The spinoff received favorable reviews, which may come as no surprise given the creative abilities of both Chris Carter and Vince Gilligan. However, the show’s pilot episode wound up being a little spooky given the events that followed its airing. The Lone Gunmen effectively predicted the general thrust of the 9/11 terror attack on the World Trade Center. What was ‘The X-Files’ spinoff ‘The Lone Gunmen’ about? Throughout The X-Files, Fox Mulder periodically … Read More

The 1918 Flu Pandemic: Was It a Flu or Aspirin, Stronger Vaccines, & Other Big Pharma Cures that Killed Millions

107 years ago

On March 4, 1918 at the Fort Riley, Kansas military base, the first outbreaks in the US were reported. On October 1, 1918, the U.S. Surgeon General, Rupert Blue, decided the nationwide outbreak (of what was thought or proclaimed to be severe influenza) warranted a national response, so he telegraphed the American Red Cross (ARC) national headquarters in Washington, D.C. The message requested that the organization “assume charge of supplying all the needed nursing personnel” to combat the pandemic, and that it “furnish emergency supplies” when local authorities could not do … Read More
