What the 1918 flu pandemic can teach us about public health today
John M. Barry, author of The Great Influenza, talks about how badly the US handled a pandemic that most likely started on home turf. Secrecy, censorship, and denial prevailed during the 1918-19 flu pandemic. The public were often lied to, … Continue reading

Legal brothels: Germany’s epic fail just keeps on failing

How fascism gets normalized in Ukraine and Wisconsin
Here’s a broad hint: Yup, it’s cult indoctrination. And it starts at a young age. In Germany, it started with the Hitlerjugend, that “youth club” that you had to join, or else. My late dad went with “or else”, because … Continue reading
