News and commentaries that reveal historical facts and trends that place current events into perspective and make it possible to anticipate future events.

The following remarks are taken from a 2002 speech by Michael Crichton, internationally acclaimed author, physician, producer, director, and screenwriter, best known for his works in science fiction, such as Jurassic Park and Andromeda Strain.

Media carries with it a credibility that is totally undeserved. You have all experienced this…. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well…. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know….

In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say. In court, there is the legal doctrine of falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, which means untruthful in one part, untruthful in all. But when it comes to the media, we believe against evidence that it is probably worth our time to read other parts of the paper. When, in fact, it almost certainly isn’t.

Migrants displaced by war, failing economies, or social hardships are seen as having ‘rights’ in foreign lands, including your hometown. Hillary Clinton’s ‘breaking every barrier’ plan to transform American cities is the embodiment of this UN agenda.
