Drug companies and big government can easily buy scientists and doctors to state whatever the buyer wants them to say. That's why debate and confirming studies are critical to the scientific process. For decades we have been told that the universe is 13 billion years old. Now because of better sensing techniques and equipment it looks to be 30 billion years old and rapidly increasing in age. All the bullshit about the big bang, dark matter and energy, galaxy formation, sun processes and everything else are being disputed because we can see things we couldn't before. Science is changing what we believe daily. Meanwhile back on earth we continue to kill and maim each other because stupid politicians just make things worse. Stupid voters elect stupid politicians.

TruthWiki is a website that purports to publish " truth". Instead, it is uniformly pro-pseudoscience and pro-conspiracy. If scientific consensus says X, TruthWiki will calmly explain that X is just a government plot to keep the wool over your eyes. TruthWiki is, in fact, created and run by Mike Adams of NaturalNews. [1] [2] Unsurprisingly, then, many, many of its sources are from NaturalNews or from pages that host NaturalNews posts, and its tone alone closely resemble NaturalNews's (both are anti-science conspiracy-mongering and slinging mud on people they don't like). Despite claiming to be a wiki, none of TruthWiki's entries are editable by the public (compare Wikipedia and RationalWiki; even Conservapedia pretends that the public can edit it), and it does not use wiki software. Instead, TruthWiki is essentially a collection of blog posts presented as fact. Indeed, it is run on Wordpress [3] with a typical blog format. Just five authors have written all of TruthWiki's posts. [4] Just like NaturalNews, if TruthWiki likes you, you're probably not doing something right.
