Dan Carlin's Common Sense

The Emasculated Rulers — 06 May 2013— Dan Carlin explains why "we the people," the supposed ultimate rulers in our democratic republic, are not at all in charge. In fact, even the people who are supposedly in charge of the United States are too fearful of "consequences" to tell us the truth about how they are running things for us, the people who elected them. In a sidebar, Carlin also comments on how the elimination of the draft has allowed most Americans to complacently nod their heads when politicians talk about needing to send troops to faraway lands to address supposed threats.

Your Body is a Corporate Test Tube — 30 Apr 2013 — Gerald Markowitz explains that increasingly we are each a toxic waste site, full of the chemicals and toxics used in pesticides, industrial processes, and consumer products. Many impacts to human health are already well understood, but good long-term studies are often not done—or have their results buried by corporations with a vested interest in continuing to sell toxic products. Markowitz begins with lead pollution, the coverup of evidence of its health effects, and the ultimate removal of lead from products and gasoline. But then he moves through a litany of similar situations with industrial chemicals that leave us all looking like human guinea pigs.

Stealing From the Future — 24 April 2013 — Mark Robinowitz of the Oil Empire web site notes that earth is over its carrying capacity, regardless of which problem—climate change, peak oil, water supplies, etc.—you wish to discuss. In this "peak everything" era, we're using everything as fast as we possibly can, with nothing but economists' assurances that there will be the same level of abundance in the future. Our most serious problem is "peak denial"—the general public is rejecting reality. He explains why the declarations of some environmentalists that extraction technologies have trumped peak oil are wrong, and he laments that climate change has come to dominate the entire discussion about sustainability. In particular, he comments that the typical environmentalist's position that we can solve climate though economic methods within the infinite growth paradigm is hopelessly wrong.

It is insane to think all solutions to planetary sustainability problems must be suggested within the current exploitative, infinite-growth economic model that caused the problems in the first place.

Beyond 50

The Myth of Autism, ADD/ADHD, and Chronic Fatigue — 17 Apr 2013— Dr. Michael J. Goldberg is considered a "lone wolf" in the medical community for his findings on autism and similar maladies. Goldberg explains why the evidence says that autism cannot be genetic, psychological, or developmental, but rather must be a symptom of a treatable neurological disease, probably due to a viral or fungal infection. The infection causes a dysfunction in the neuro-immune system. Illnesses such as autism, ADD/ADHD, and chronic fatigue syndrome all have different "labels," but are actually variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction syndromes (NIDS).
