The Unjust Conviction of an Innocent Man: The Ian Freeman Case

If one googles the name “Ian Freeman” and “bitcoin,” the result will be hundreds of articles describing Freeman as a “fraudster.”

by Jacob G. Hornberger

If one googles the name “Ian Freeman” and “bitcoin,” the result will be hundreds  of articles describing Freeman as a “fraudster.” That’s because immediately after  Freeman’s sentencing in a criminal case in a U.S. District Court in New Hampshire  on October 2, 2023, the U.S. Attorney’s office in New Hampshire sent out a press  release in which Freeman was labeled a “fraudster.” 

There is one big problem, however, with that description: Freeman was never  convicted of fraud, and the U.S. Attorney’s office knew that when it sent out that  press release on the day of his sentencing…

Exodus Propulsion Propellentless Drive Gets Mainstream Coverage

They claim they can produce over 1G of thrust for a lightweight device.

By Brian Wang

Three months ago, Nextbigfuture covered Exodus Propulsion’s claim of a huge space propulsion breakthrough. They claim they can produce over 1G of thrust for a lightweight device. IF this claim is true then they could make spaceships that could go to Mars in 5 days and reach near light lightspeed in a year. They would need to constantly produce thrust in space with an array of lightweight devices.

Exodus Technology has new videos of the device rotating a lab device with visible and controlled motion on their website…

In its first official platform since 2016, the Grand Old Party (GOP) slashed all mention of its gun policy positions.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee voted 84-to-18 on Monday to adopt the new 2024 platform language after skipping the process entirely in 2020. The finalized document leans into former President Donald Trump’s “America First” outlook and parrots many of his stances on issues ranging from immigration to trade. However, it also minimized the party’s emphasis on gun policy compared to its previous platform.

The entire platform discusses gun rights just once, in a preamble statement about the party’s dedication to defending “our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.” The final product omits any discussion of tangible gun policy ideas…

And Like That, The Claim Vaccines Are The World’S Best Studied Product Dies

The world’s leading vaccinologist, Dr. Stanley Plotkin, and company have just capitulated

by Aaron Siri

Wow. After decades of Dr. Stanley Plotkin and his vaccinologist disciples insisting vaccines are the most well studied products on the planet, they just penned an article admitting precisely the opposite.

Europe's governance system is ready to destroy food production. In the US, massive operations have destroyed food quality. Time to turn this mess around.

By Meryl Nass

Farmers will pay on average $115 per cow yearly, starting in 2030, increasing to about $280 per cow yearly by 2035.
