what a mucked up world we are living in right now...sighhttp://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/05/16/editor-in-chief-of-worlds-best-known-medical-journal-half-of-all-the-literature-is-false/May 16, 2015 by Arjun Walia. 68 comments.
Editor In Chief Of World’s Best Known Medical Journal:
Half Of All The Literature Is FalseIn the past few years more professionals have come forward to share a truth that, for many people, proves difficult to swallow. One such authority is Dr. Richard Horton, the current editor-in-chief of the Lancet – considered to be one of the most well respected peer-reviewed medical journals in the world.
Dr. Horton recently published a statement declaring that a lot of published research is in fact unreliable at best, if not completely false.
“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” (source)
This is quite distrubing, given the fact that all of these studies (which are industry sponsored) are used to develop drugs/vaccines to supposedly help people, train medical staff, educate medical students and more.
It’s common for many to dismiss a lot of great work by experts and researchers at various institutions around the globe which isn’t “peer-reviewed” and doesn’t appear in a “credible” medical journal, but as we can see, “peer-reviewed” doesn’t really mean much anymore. “Credible” medical journals continue to lose their tenability in the eyes of experts and employees of the journals themselves, like Dr. Horton.
He also went on to call himself out in a sense, stating that journal editors aid and abet the worst behaviours, that the amount of bad research is alarming, that data is sculpted to fit a preferred theory. He goes on to observe that important confirmations are often rejected and little is done to correct bad practices. What’s worse, much of what goes on could even be considered borderline misconduct.
Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ), which is considered to another one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world, makes her view of the subject quite plain:
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine” (source)
I apologize if you have seen it before in my articles, but it is quite the statement, and it comes from someone who also held a position similiar to Dr. Horton.
There is much more than anecdotal evidence to support these claims, however, including documents obtained by Lucija Tomljenovic, PhD, from the Neural Dynamics Research Group in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of British Columbia, which reveal that vaccine manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and health authorities have known about multiple dangers associated with vaccines but chose to withhold them from the public. This is scientific fraud, and their complicity suggests that this practice continues to this day. (source)
This is just one of many examples, and alludes to one point Dr. Horton is referring to, the ommision of data. For the sake of time, I encourage you to do your own research on this subject. I just wanted to provide some food for thought about something that is not often considered when it comes to medical research, and the resulting products and theories which are then sold to us based on that research.
It’s truly a remarkable time to be alive. Over the course of human history, our planet has experienced multiple paradigm shifting realizations, all of which were met with harsh resistence at the time of their revelation. One great example is when we realized the Earth was not flat. Today, we are seeing these kinds of revelatory shifts in thinking happen in multiple spheres, all at one time. It can seem overwhelming for those who are paying attention, especially given the fact that a lot of these ideas go against current belief systems. There will always be resistance to new information which does not fit into the current framework, regardless of how reasonable (or factual) that information might be.

is this the truth now or just more BS..http://mic.com/articles/129971/nasa-wants-to-go-deeper-into-space-here-s-why-it-can-t#.RytquvM2kMax Plenke's avatar image By Max Plenke December 08, 2015
NASA Wants to Go Deeper Into Space. Here's Why It Can't.In the immortal words of Billy Joel, "I'm movin' out."
That's the gist of what NASA's chief of human spaceflight, William Gerstenmaier, said about NASA's plan to move beyond the International Space Station and pursue cislunar orbit, which is the area in the Moon's orbit.
The ISS has been NASA's low-orbit base of operations for the last 15 years, but now conversations point to leaving the station to venture farther into space. "We're going to get out of ISS as quickly as we can," Gerstenmaier said, according to Ars Technica. "Whether it gets filled in by the private sector or not, NASA's vision is we're trying to move out."
There's good news and bad news here. First, the good: The move is what you might call Phase 2 on NASA's Journey to Mars, which they presented back in October. Phase 1, the "Earth Reliant" stage, was doing the research aboard the ISS to figure out how humans will survive, eat and behave in space. It tested the limits of advanced communications systems, 3-D printed in space and ran missions outside a spacecraft.
Phase 2, called "Proving Ground," is where NASA tries to master complex operations in deep space. Its goal is to continue to be able to send astronaut crews back to Earth in days instead of weeks.
Here's where it gets exciting: This is the stage where we figure out beyond a doubt how to explore Mars. It means testing the colossal Space Launch System rocket along with the Orion shuttle in 2018, taking samples from a large asteroid, exploring better means of recycling to keep resupply costs down and building a real-deal deep-space habitat for testing long-term systems.
Now, the bad news: NASA can't afford to keep working on the ISS and venture further out into space, since its budget will probably be a space-paltry $4 billion by 2020. So all of those ISS supply-mission contracts that let the private space sector bring home the bacon — think Elon Musk's SpaceX and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin — will probably dry up in a couple years.
NASA says it wants the private space companies to get use out of the station, since letting $140 billion of human ingenuity and interstellar sportsmanship go the way of a failed amusement park seems ludicrous — though, the ISS was a joint effort between 15 countries and is larger than a football field, so it might be a touch too much machine for a single private entity.
But who knows, right?
"
We really want to open up low-Earth orbit to the terrestrial markets, and I want the private sector to explore," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, according to Ars Technica, adding that there's huge potential in low-Earth orbit for commercial industries.
hey Z I know you guys are already in this race
Whatever happens, NASA, with billions of dollars in plans coming in the next decade, can't wait around for someone to pick up the reins in its wake. It has to cut bait to move on to bigger — and celestially deeper — things.

wow even research into lies..
hey read this and then go find a nice hard wall pound your head against it for a bit and then enjoy the few minutes of blissfull unconsciousness
