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.

The Near-Death Experience: Evidence of the Afterlife?
The near-death experience (NDE) remains a phenomena that continues to be an object of fascination for many. There are now thousands of documented cases with similar salient features as their central theme, that of travelling through a tunnel of bright light, being reunited with loved ones, spirit guides and other entities, and an all-encompassing feeling of love.

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.
