More Researchers See Evidence of Plant Life on MarsBy Mike Adams, August 6 2004
When it comes to examining the possibility of life on Mars, opinions vary widely and emotions run high. For many years, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, who is one of the best-known writers in the world as well as being the inventor of the modern satellite, has insisted that photographs from NASA show seasonal changes in vegetation on Mars. The pictures look like massive forests of banyan trees, says Clarke. I've seen the pictures myself, and certainly agree with this characterization. Although...
Top SETI astronomer says we'll detect alien civilizations within 20 years thanks to advances in computingBy Mike Adams, July 25 2004
The only reason we haven't yet detected communication signals from alien civilizations is because we don't have the computing power required to scan the universe for weak radio transmission signals that would indicate intelligent life. But within twenty years, advances in computing power -- if Moore's Law holds -- should give human civilization the computing muscle it needs to scan every star in our galaxy in a search for intelligent signals. This is the news from a top SETI astronomer who says...
Automobile black boxes nail speeders and dangerous drivers by recording speeds and driving habitsBy Mike Adams, July 22 2004
Although I remain a strong supporter of personal privacy, I believe that black box technology in automobiles is an excellent idea that should be used in the United States, too. Why? Because there are far too many dangerous drivers who know they can get away with unsafe driving habits simply because no one's watching. Furthermore, public roadways are not a "private" venue in my book. Public awareness of automobile black boxes surged recently when a Canadian teenager driver who collided with another...
Are book publishers going to make it illegal to buy used books and outlaw public libraries?By Mike Adams, July 13 2004
Book publishers can't stand the fact that people can buy and sell used books online at places like Amazon.com. In fact, they're downright frustrated with it, because sales of old books are starting to cut into their new book sales. So they've started comparing used book sales to Napster and the illegal sharing of music files. Huh? Yep, that's right: they're trying to brand the purchasing of used books an "immoral" activity. As if it's somehow bad that you're picking up a book at a garage sale price...
Many seeds need smoke in order to sprout; forest fires are necessaryBy Mike Adams, July 12 2004
New research is revealing how plant seeds depend on smoke and even heat from fires to get them to sprout. It's a smart strategy for the seed, of course: smoke comes from fires, and fires mean that the soil is probably fertile with new ash. Plus, if weeds and grass have been burned to the ground, a new seed will have little competition. This is yet more evidence supporting the view I've long held on forest fires: let them burn, folks. Extinguishing forest fires is a bad strategy for preventing them...
Extremophiles flourish on Earth, hint at life on MarsBy Mike Adams, July 12 2004
Despite what you may have heard, there's living, breathing life on Mars right now. NASA hasn't announced it yet, but I suspect they already know it. The evidence is overwhelming: Mars has sunlight, frozen water, an atmosphere and temperatures that can support life. Even more, gases recorded in the Mars atmosphere point to respirating organisms, and rocks and meterorites from the red planet provide further fossil clues that life once existed there.
For decades, the popular scientific belief has...
Earth isn't the only water planet in the solar system: Mars was once
awash with oceansBy Mike Adams, May 13 2004
The discovery of evidence showing Mars was once awash with oceans of
water is of tremendous importance, says NASA. Until now, it was believed
that Earth was the only planet harboring vast oceans, but now it is
known that Mars once did as well. This is yet further evidence that we
are not alone in the universe, for wherever there is water and sunlight,
we always find life. Mars will be no exception. Expect an announcement
of the discovery of "life on Mars" in the near future.
Credit card debt rises yet again, personal bankruptcy matches pattern of federal spendingBy Mike Adams, January 9 2004
Once again, credit card delinquencies have reached another peak. U.S.
families are finding themselves deeper and deeper in personal debt, and
yet they are encouraged to keep on spending to "help the economy." It's
faulty logic: spiraling debt ultimately helps no one, but don't look to
Washington for any wisdom on the subject: federal spending, too, is out
of control. So what's to blame? A culture of spending, mostly, but
part of the equation also rests on the messages from the media...
Some debt counseling non-profits are just looking to make a buckBy Mike Adams, November 9 2003
Helping people with bad credit is a booming business. There's a lot of money to be made helping people get out of debt. And where there's profit to be had, con artists are inevitably going to get involved and try to tap into the stream of cash flowing from consumers to companies.
As this story shows, there are good credit counseling companies and there are bad ones. By "bad," they mean there are companies that are primarily in the business of taking your money rather than negotiating with your...
Telemarketing still hitting consumers who opted outBy Mike Adams, October 27 2003
At one time, telemarketers were buying or collecting phone numbers as targets for sales calls. Today, telemarketers are purchasing many of the same numbers in order to avoid calling them. The implementation of the national "Do-Not-Call" registry has resulted in over 50 million households registering their phone numbers. This list helps prevent unwanted phone calls reaching those who do not wish to be disturbed.
Numerous complaints have been made by consumers against telemarketers who have continued...
As Consumers Dive Deeper Into Credit Card Debt, Banks Rake In ProfitsBy Mike Adams, October 21 2003
When you try to open an account at Wells Fargo, they work up a customer "profile" and try to figure out how to sell you every financial instrument under the sun, from company loans and house loans to higher fee checking accounts. And that's all before they take your fingerprint, which is now apparently required at all Wells Fargo branches (thumbprint, actually, which sounds less incriminating than "fingerprints").
Personally, I would never do business with Wells Fargo. But a lot of people certainly...
Personal Debt Out Of Control; U.S. Economy Awash in DebtBy Mike Adams, October 13 2003
This story by Justin Lahart nails the issue with the kind of reporting that's both uncommon and courageous. Ringing the alarm bells on the U.S. economy is, well, unpopular. But Lahart is quite correct.
He describes the debt bubble as potentially dwarfing the stock market bubble of 2000. Personal debt is one of those things we all like to forget about. As long as we can keep making the monthly payment, we seem to think we'll be okay. And yet our future earnings are being eaten away at an accelerated...
