Why is the Media and Mob so Anti-Israel? (3/3/2026) by David Anderson, J.D. - How the anti-Israel narrative has become so dominant in our era needs explaining, whatever our feelings on the Middle East. Even if you dislike Israel, what if your cause or people are twisted by liars?

On Religion, Authoritarianism and Technology (1/19/2026) by Jenny Oak Tree - Once a lie goes viral, it is truth. Efforts to dispel the lie leave less of a viral imprint. We are basically a populace at the mercy of humanity's impulse to lie and create outrage.
