Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson to receive the National Academy of Sciences’ most prestigious honor By  Rachel Feltman The National Academy of Sciences has announced that Neil deGrasse Tyson, most widely known for hosting the recent reboot of Carl Sagan’s popular science show “Cosmos,” will receive their most prestigious award at a ceremony this April. The Public Welfare Medal  was first presented in 1914 (when it went to two men integral to the Panama Canal building project) and is intended to  recognize those who work to promote science for the benefit of humanity . Tyson will be the first person to receive the award for his efforts in science communication to the general public since Sagan himself won in 1994. The two men are connected by more than their shared awards and TV styles: Back when Tyson was a high school student in the Bronx considering colleges, Sagan  wrote him a heartfelt invitation  to visit his lab at Cornell — one that Tyson accepted. He ende...

In Regards to the Proclamations

Most people are in shock, or otherwise in confusion, regarding the facts surrounding the recent Proclamations made by the various Mayors, Public servants and offices of Public servants in various Territories of North America.  Surely the research was done prior to making these proclamations as an 'Act of Full Faith and Credit', in accord with  Article IV, Section 1  of the American Constitution FOR the United States of America, and in accord with all true and divine records regarding the human family.      . Those who are the aboriginal and indigenous people -- Moors, which means first navigators as an adjective, and first people as a Noun.  Clearly they are the first to navigate on the waters on the earth plane, after navigating in the waters of their mothers womb, and being cut from her nav-el to become a navigating el upon the earth plane – no one escapes that process, no matter what they may choose to believ...

The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America

Here I have provided you with the pdf link to the very informative and very revealing book by Mrs. Charolette Thomson Iserbyt, "The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America." It gives a detailed inside look at the educational system from it's conception to today. I'm not gonna spoil it for you by telling you to much about it. But I'm gonna tell you this "The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America" is an invaluable book that breaks the educational system down to it's core. It tells about the revamping of the educational system and the reason why. Parents send their children to school  thinking that they're children are getting a true education but, in actuality they're children are only being training. Sadly the same goes for all levels of education from preschool to college. http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com/MomsPDFs/DDDoA.sml.pdf
