FLYING BLIND: FCC Still Uses Over 30-Year-Old Exposure Safety Limits to Greenlight 6G Radiation

Updated 11:58 AM EDT, Tue March 24, 2026

The failed story of safety science surrounding human radiofrequency radiation (RFR) [think cell phones, Wi-Fi, and smart meters] exposure limits allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) goes like this: “In the late 1990s, the FCC and ICNIRP adopted radiofrequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits to protect the public and workers from adverse effects of RFR.…Continue reading FLYING BLIND: FCC Still Uses Over 30-Year-Old Exposure Safety Limits to Greenlight 6G Radiation

Phantom Army: War Without Hesitation

Updated 10:29 AM EDT, Tue March 24, 2026

When Foundation CEO Mike LeBlanc made the rounds last month pitching autonomous combat drones, he led with the argument that tends to land best in polite company: these machines will save American lives. Pilots won’t be shot down. Soldiers won’t bleed out in forward positions. The robots go to battle, and the humans come home.…Continue reading Phantom Army: War Without Hesitation

Unproven in the Field: Terrana’s RNA “Plant Vaccines” Deserve Serious Scrutiny

Updated 9:48 AM EDT, Mon March 23, 2026

World Economic Forum contributor Noubar Afeyan, the billionaire who co-founded Moderna, has launched a company that plans to use “the language of nature to give plants new instructions.” Called Terrana Biosciences, the company will manipulate the vast ecosystem of self-replicating RNAs from across the plant world, rewriting them with unique instructions to make any desired…Continue reading Unproven in the Field: Terrana’s RNA “Plant Vaccines” Deserve Serious Scrutiny

Copper vs. The Medical Machine

Back in the day, copper didn’t need a glossy ad campaign or some TV doctor promoting its many healing benefits. For thousands of years, it just did the job—straightforward and with no frills. Folks figured out early that tossing water into copper pots kept the gut-rot at bay when indoor plumbing was a pipe dream…Continue reading Copper vs. The Medical Machine

The Germ Is The Alibi

What drives disease? With roots dating back to the mid-19th century, the germs vs. terrain debate often fuels discord. Sure, many have heard the discussion, which centers on whether specific microorganisms or “germs” are the primary cause of disease, and on the terrain theory, which holds that disease arises primarily from an imbalance or poor…Continue reading The Germ Is The Alibi

Sky Spies With Feathers

Somewhere in Moscow, a pigeon is doing what pigeons do—flapping, gliding, showing off that smug “I own this city” energy—except this one is wearing a tiny backpack, carrying a camera, and taking directions from a neural implant. That’s the claim, anyway. A Russian neurotech firm called Neiry has been making headlines for a project called…Continue reading Sky Spies With Feathers

The Executive Order Everyone Misread

On February 18, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order (EO) treating elemental phosphorus and glyphosate-based herbicides like supply-chain vulnerabilities. Why? Because, in the administration’s framing, they are. Following the EO, sheer panic ensued over an order that people apparently briefly skimmed, and over one word they hate. The order, which leans on the Defense…Continue reading The Executive Order Everyone Misread

The World’s Most Dangerous Guessing Game

Three thousand, six hundred, twenty-five. That is not a case count. That figure represents the number of high-containment Biosafety Level-3 and Level-4 laboratories now identified worldwide. More specifically, there are 3,515 BSL-3 labs and 110 BSL-4 labs that handle pathogens capable of flattening cities and rewriting history. Yet, and this should concern everyone, detailed public…Continue reading The World’s Most Dangerous Guessing Game

When the FDA Finally Means NO

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) didn’t “deny” Moderna’s mRNA flu shot in the way most people associate with a rejection. The agency didn’t convene a panel or run a full review. It did something colder and more compelling. It sent a Refusal to File letter. That is the bureaucratic equivalent of sliding Moderna’s…Continue reading When the FDA Finally Means NO
