Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey was a watershed moment in filmmaking. The epic sci-fi story of extraterrestrials and higher planes of existence bridged the gap between studio pictures and art films, all because of the inimitable genius of its writer/director. Here are 12 facts about the sci-fi classic, on the 50th anniversary of its release. 1. THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE WERE DEVELOPED CONCURRENTLY. 2001: A Space Odyssey sprang from a February 1964 lunch between director Stanley Kubrick and Roger Caras, the publicist for Kubrick’s previous film Dr. Strangelove. Kubrick told Caras that for his next movie he wanted to do a movie … Continue reading →

Despite seeing it millions of times, most people are unaware of a common form of the letter ‘g’. The lowercase ‘looptail g’ is used in most novels, newspapers and email messages, yet a new study shows a surprising number of adults don’t know what it looks like. Many of those tested couldn’t pick out a looptail g from a lineup and a shocking number were unaware that two forms of the letter exist at all. According to the researchers, the phenomenon likely occurs because we don’t learn to write the letter’s looptail form at school, meaning few of us commit … Continue reading →

UK Foreign Secretary has now been called out by Russian officials, British politicians and thousands of social media users on his misleading claim on the origin of the Novichok nerve agent in Sergei Skripal’s poisoning. Boris Johnson, however, doesn’t seem to mind. The best defense is a good offense – seems to be his thinking. The leader of the Labour Party has on March 4 reminded the British public in a televised interview that Boris Johnson has “claimed on German television that this was a Russian produced nerve agent, and Porton Down then examined it and said all they could identify was as Novichok, they couldn’t … Continue reading →

Justin’s note: Imagine not being able to board a plane because you forgot to pay your water bill… or being denied access to a train because you jaywalked. It sounds like something ripped from the pages of George Orwell’s 1984. But this will soon become reality for people living in China. That’s because the Chinese government is getting ready to roll out a social credit system. Basically, the Chinese government will soon prevent people from accessing everyday services if they aren’t deemed “good citizens.” It’s one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever read. Still, most readers won’t care about this. That’s because … Continue reading →

Robert Mueller is the special counsel appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in May 2017 to probe the nature and extent of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. The investigation began in October 2016 under President Barack Obama when the FBI took seriously the boast of Carter Page, one of candidate Donald Trump’s foreign policy advisers, that he had worked for the Kremlin. The FBI also had transcripts of telephone conversations and copies of emails and text messages of Trump campaign personnel that had been supplied to it by British intelligence. Connecting the dots, the FBI persuaded a … Continue reading →

As Porton Down now confirm, here is a straightforward lie from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a lie that British diplomats around the world have been promoting to foreign governments. The key point is that the FCO knew it was lying. This was published six days after I was told by an FCO source, and published, that Porton Down scientists were refusing to say the substance came from Russia. The FCO knew this. I have now received confirmation from a well placed FCO source that Porton Down scientists are not able to identify the nerve agent as being of Russian manufacture, and have … Continue reading →

Since the February 14 shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school, the anti-gun rhetoric has flown hard and heavy. Gun owners have been demonized, and the NRA has been labeled a terrorist organization. The left has done everything it can to stigmatize gun owners, making it socially taboo for gun owners to speak up. Despite that, however, there’s been yet another increase in firearm sales based on NICS checks, a typical proxy for gun sales. In fact, the 2,767,699 NICS checks from March 2018 stand as the third most of any month, ever. The FBI launched the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) back … Continue reading →

Hillary Clinton revealed she believes things are only to get worse in the US while Donald Trump remains president. Clinton, who was speaking at women’s club The Wing in Manhattan, urged her audience to vote in the midterms because ‘I don’t think we’ve seen the bottom yet’. ‘You can march from now until doomsday, but if you don’t elect people who agree with you nothing will change,’ she said on Tuesday night. A huge line of women formed around the block to watch Clinton, who was still wearing a cast after breaking her wrist in India, speak at the women-only social club. Clinton … Continue reading →

Every day, we’re bombarded with toxins: additives in the food supply, pollution in the air and water, and chemicals in the products we put on our bodies. The overabundance of common impurities that we all encounter can overwhelm our natural ability to detoxify. Many of these toxins find their way to the liver, kidneys, intestines, and colon. Cleansing is a great way to flush your body and reboot your overall well-being, and cleansing the colon can boost your natural self-healing and detox mechanisms. The Colon & Its Function The colon is part of the large intestine. It lies between the … Continue reading →

Noor Salman, the widow of the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay Orlando nightclub has been acquitted on charges of lying to the FBI and helping her husband in the 2016 attack. (March 30) AP The FBI suffered another debacle on Friday when an Orlando jury returned a not guilty verdict for the widow of Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people and wounded 53 in his attack on Orlando’s Pulse nightclub in June 2016. The biggest terrorism case of the year collapsed largely thanks to FBI misconduct and deceit. Noor Salman was charged with material support of a foreign terrorist organization and lying to the FBI … Continue reading →

New York City could be hit with a $39 billion in damage with 30 million tons of debris clogging the streets if a long-overdue earthquake hit. The city of 8.5 million people is not thought of as a tremor hot spot, but the five boroughs are riddled with fault lines that could bring dozens of buildings down. Because the city is so dense and littered with thousands of tall buildings, even a 5.0 magnitude earthquake nearby would cause such damage, experts fear. New York City is not thought of as a tremor hot spot, but the five boroughs are riddled with … Continue reading →

The Soviet composer Dimitri Shostakovich wrote most of his symphonies under Stalin. Unlike Stravinsky and Prokofiev, he stayed in the Soviet Union until his death in 1975. Shostakovich won the Stalin Prize (100,000 roubles and a dacha) six times for his compositions; addressed letters to Stalin: “Dear Joseph Vissarionovick;” and joined the Communist Party (in 1960). Musicologists and music critics are divided into two camps regarding Shostakovich’s political leanings. One group views him as a closet dissident and the other, as a Soviet apologist and committed communist. In addition to his 15 symphonies, Shostakovich wrote 15 string quartets; 2 concertos … Continue reading →
