Save One, Destroy the Other?
02-May-2008

Closing the ozone hole has been

global warming too. Now an idea is being proposed to offset
global warming by injecting reflective particles into the

Why Can't We Just Remove Salt from the Ocean? (Cont.)
01-May-2008

One of the biggest problems facing the world in the future will
be getting enough water. If we could just think of a way to
remove the salt from the ocean, we would be surrounded by
drinking water. Lots of scientists would like to figure out how
to do just
that. Now the inventor of the Segway says he has invented
a machine that can take nearly any source of moisture—even
ocean water, urine or sewage—and quickly turn it into safe
drinking water.

Million Dollar Prize for Fake Meat!

Three years ago, we reported that astronauts may eventually

Exceptional UFO Video from the Netherlands
30-Apr-2008

…and a UFO crash in Alabama? -
Fake UFO video is so easy to create that there is a
temptation to dismiss all of it, however this video from
Holland has the appearance of authenticity. There is no
indication of any tampering with the image, and it is time
consuming, although not difficult, to create a graphic with
the shaking movement that is revealed in this video. This may
be a real video. If so, it is among the best made in the past
few years. Unknowncountry.com no longer takes a position
regarding UFO videos, because of the ease with which hoaxes
can be created and the near impossibility of detecting them.
We do publish videos that may possibly be authentic, such as
this one. To view the video and learn more, click here.

Autism Breakthrough

It's heavy metals—from POWER PLANTS -
How do mercury emissions affect pregnant mothers, the

In her newest diary, Anne Strieber talks about her adventures as

their cellphones, while dressed in outlandish 'Star Trek'-type

Food

It's either almost worthless or downright dangerous…and we STILL eat too much of it! -
Global warming isn't the only reason that
food isn't
as nutritious as it used to be—and some things, like
popcorn, may be downright dangerous. Many of the foods we
eat every day, including eggs and bacon, used to be full of
essential nutrients, when the animals they came from were
eating grass, insects, and other green foods. Now that our
livestock eat mostly seeds and grains, that's no longer the

Biofuels Causing Bees to Disappear?
18-Apr-2008

Seven
years ago, we warned that this was happening in France: a
particular pesticide called "Gaucho" was causing bees to fly
away from their hives to forage, only to disappear. The
speculation was that they were becoming disoriented and
were unable to find their way back to the hive—something
unheard of in these insects. This may be one reason for the
disappearance of bees here in the US too, since the same
pesticide is being sprayed on corn, and corn is displacing
other crops in order to produce ethanol.

Because they stick to the flowery King James version, instead

The Unvarnished New Testament by
Andy Gaus, which is my favorite modern translation). This led
