The Holocaust Remains an Enduring Reminder for Future Generations

There have been many tyrannical rulers throughout history. Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, had killed many people during the Great Terror, coolly dispatching with his political opponents and other Russians, and also as a consequence of his economic policies, caused the famine in the Ukraine which claimed many more lives. Approximately 23 million died during his tenure. Indeed, to this day many Russians remain divided on their opinions of whether Stalin was a hero or a villain.

Has Education Today Become a By-Word for Our Indoctrination?

It was Albert Einstein who once had this to say about education, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” The education system remains an exercise in micro-management that provokes memories of the music video to Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick in the Wall‘, of school children being fed through a meat mincer by their overbearing headmaster.

Media-Ocrity: Why impartiality is not their conce

The late Terence McKenna, the American ethnobotanist and mystic, once exclaimed, “We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are dis-empowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking.

We often learn more valuable lessons from our failures than from our successes.

An interview on LBC radio in London with the Green Party leader Natalie Bennett raised many eyebrows for all the wrong reasons. Nick Ferrari, the radio interviewer, questioned Ms Bennett on the issue of housing, and the Green Party’s proposal to build 500,000 new social rent homes funded by mortgage relief from private landlords.

Do Numerology and Astrology hold the key to our deepest questions?

Followers of Christianity have been falling away over the past century right across the world, with many societies becoming more and more secular. For many, religion simply has not been able to satisfy their conce s and answer those fundamental questions: Why are we here? If there is a God, why do so many appalling events continue to occur? As these questions go unanswered this can leave us feeling more empty and disillusioned. Perhaps we have reached a point collective conscience that many people now just require more, and are unwilling to accept religion on pure faith alone.

Making the Case for the Existence of Extraterrestrial Life

Are we alone in the universe? This is a question that has always remained a source of unending intrigue, which is understandable when you consider the enormous distances across the far reaches of space and time, of which we are but a fraction.

Why we may Never Stamp out Racism

The scene in Paris where a black man was prevented from boarding a train on the Paris Metro by a number of Chelsea football supporters was proof that despite being 2015, very little has changed. A bystander at Richelieu-Drouot station recorded the event on his mobile phone, capturing the moment the rowdy supporters pushed the man named as Souleymane S., 33 years old, away as he tried to step off the platform and onto the train. They chanted, “we’re racist, we’re racist, and that’s the way we like it”. Overwhelmed and humiliated he gave up and walked away.

The UFO and Crop Circles Mystery: Have we bee Contacted?

It takes courage to deviate from the most accepted world-view. Anything that appears to fly in the face of our mundane daily reality is usually dismissed as a hoax or fantasy in our majority rule society. Many people will simply not consider other possibilities, seemingly outlandish at first, yet will tend to believe unquestionably information derived from news bulletins, heavily laden with propaganda and untruths that suit the underlying agenda.

Is there Definitive Proof Alien Life really does Exist?

Paul Hellyer was the former Minister of National Defence for Canada who sensationally announced that world governments were deliberately covering up ‘secret files’ that reveal aliens have been visiting Earth for thousands of years, and are already integrated into society. These aliens he claims would be unrecognisable as extraterrestrial if you happened to pass one in the street. Hellyer was the first high-ranking official to go public with his beliefs in his historic speech at the Toronto Exopolitics Conference in 2005.

Great Britain? Welcome to Egocentric UK

Anne Leitrim’s mummified remains were recently found at her home in Bou emouth, Dorset. The 58 year old former neonatal nurse had been laid beside her bed for 7 years.

Remembering a Reluctant Hollywood Star

The 1960’s was a decade that heralded a new wave of film stars such as Paul Newman, Sydney Poitier, Audrey Hepburn, Clint Eastwood and many others. But for a twist of fate, one actor may well have ranked amongst such prestigious talents had he not made the decision to forgo his acting career whilst on the verge of international stardom. Rising star Christopher Jones was tipped to be a worthy successor to James Dean with a body of work in TV and film including David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter (1970).

The Crop Circle Hoax just doesn’t Ring True!

Crop circles have been appearing in fields across the world as far back as 1667, “Strange News Out of Hertfordshire” ran the headline of the earliest find, now known as ‘The Mowing Devil’. The crop circle phenomena has been increasing exponentially since the 1970’s and the response from the general media and governments has been to launch a campaign to dispel any truth to the suggestion that some of these may in fact be genuine.

Robbed of Womanhood: The Silent Pain of Childlessness

Childlessness, or the inability to conceive, is an often unappreciated source of pain amongst much of the general public. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found the number of women aged 15-44 with impaired fecund city (impaired ability to get pregnant or carry a baby to term) was 6.7 million in America, which equates to 10.9% of the population. This natural function, one of the greatest of gifts that life has to offer, remains an unattainable dream for some women, who through no fault of their own find themselves fighting this lonely battle.

A Scarlet Letter of a Sex Worker

The sex industry is an often misunderstood profession that in all actuality can be a lucrative, convenient and viable career option for those brave enough (or fool-hardy depending on your point of view) to pursue this line of work. We have all heard of the time-wo cliché that prostitution is oldest trade, however, by and large the stigma and judgement still persists for all those who work within it.

Who Exactly are Fanning the Flames of the Syria Crisis?

The ongoing Syria crisis, described as the ‘greatest humanitarian disaster since WWII’ continues to shock and appal in equal measure, and it’s not hard to see why. As the world wakes up to the realisation that these refugees are not freeloaders after all, but are literally fighting for their very existence, and are willing to risk life and limb to be allowed settlement in Europe. Since the Arab spring in 2011, the Assad regime has struggled to maintain control with the rise of the various rebel groups such as the Free Syrian Army and ISIS among them.

Inside the Benighted Regions of the Arab World

There have been many adjectives used to describe the region we call the Middle East. One such description given by David Keyes, the executive director of Advancing Human Rights, a non-profit organization promoting human rights around the world, was the ‘Kingdom of hate’. Harsh perhaps, but be in no doubt, the Arab world remains a benighted place at this time where the harshest of punishments are feted out to its citizens for often minor transgressions, and where women’s freedoms are closely monitored and even revoked by their rulers.

Denials Recriminations and the Bloated Fat Cats of Fifa

Sepp Blatter, who was once reluctant to incorporate goal line technology into football despite already being an established and successful addition to other sports including rugby and tennis, was quoted as saying, “Other sports regularly change the laws of the game to react to the new technology…we don’t do it and this makes the fascination and popularity of football”, appearing to suggest that the drama and chaos this created was somehow good for the game. Which is ironic really because drama and chaos is where he finds himself right now.

Game Set and Mismatch: Disparities in the Drive for Gender Equality

The Tennis clay court season is almost upon us, so a good time perhaps to revisit one peccadillo and often debated issue, that of prize money, specifically the correct amount that should be awarded to both men and women within the higher echelons of the game. With equal prize money in Grand Slam tou aments awarded to both genders, despite the clear disparities between them, it is starting to become an elephant in the room, with men the biggest losers in this arrangement, and who may have due cause to feel slightly aggrieved.
