The Shroud of Turin is the most studied object in the world – and for good reason. If authentic, this linen cloth would constitute physical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Not so fast comes the gut reaction from many Christians, concerned that such a theory skirts dangerously close to venerating a spurious relic. Besides, hasn’t the science concluded this is simply a medieval forgery?But the truth is, there is little consensus on the Shroud’s authenticity. After thousands of hours of research, study and tests, opinion is still divided among both scholars and enthusiasts. And so the intriguing possibility remains...

A jury has found that Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll. The panel of six men and three women also found that Trump injured advice columnist Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and defamed her, ordering the former President to pay her $5million in damages. Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct or assault by more than two dozen women, but this has so far been the only case to end up before a jury. Carroll, 79, sued for battery under the Adult Survivors Act, a law passed in New York that allowed a one year window...

"Death inevitably follows pandemics, and it has been especially prevalent throughout the past two years, thanks to the Fauci-funded genetically modified virus that escaped from the Wuhan Lab in late 2019. Despite the mass rollout of a vaccine, in which the majority of the population was compelled into taking the jab, excess deaths in the US remain at all-time highs over a year after the “cure” was introduced, and the numbers continue to get worse – especially for young Americans."

For clarification, we are not anti-vaxxers, I’m not at the very least. Vaccines can help irradicate viral scourges, and the benefits, more often than not, outweigh the risks. But we also accept the need for informed consent. The critical part of that is “informed.”Especially when the message blasted at us for months has been fear and censorship when we challenge them with contradicting data. Never a good combination.So, yes, institutional – political denial is baked in the CVODI19 cake.The Sad NewsThe source has asked to remain anonymous but they are reporting that two patients in a Dover, NH, Long Term...

On Friday morning the United States killed General Qassim Soleimani, a top commander of Iran’s al-Quds Force, in an airstrike at Baghdad’s International Airport.

On Sunday Iranian-backed militias opened fire on civilians who refused to attend a ceremony for the dead terrorist Soleimani. Via Heshmat...

cult: n. Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing. Four men who are “called to lead a special mission”. Four groups of people who insist that their leader has found the true way; either to happiness, truth, safety, or all three. Four leaders, one method: all preach destruction that will surely be the outcome if others do not heed him and his One True Way.
