Don’t Be So Easily Fooled Welcome to Conspiracy Theories & Debunking I can handle the truth—can you? Critical thinking is in short supply, but here you’ll get honest answers. What’s nonsense, and what’s actually true? Let’s find out. Do you see this image and immediately assume it must be true? That’s exactly how conspiracy theories work—a repeated idea gets visualized and, eventually, widely accepted without anyone actually checking the evidence. People believe all sorts of things. Some think the Earth is flat, that vaccines contain tracking chips, or that a secret elite runs the world from the shadows. Others blindly trust whatever the news and authorities tell them without question. But how many actually take the time to verify whether their beliefs hold up? This blog series is all about distinguishing fact from fiction. We’ll examine conspiracy theories and myths, tear them apart, and see what’s pure nonsense and what has substance. Some theories are easy to dismiss, while othe...

People Are Fed Up with Woke and Climate Politics People want stability, not experiments. The radical left’s ideas on gender, climate, and open borders have had their time in the spotlight. Now, voters are shifting hard to the right to restore order. Identity Politics Is Burning Itself Out – People Are Moving On People are done with woke nonsense and chaos – now the right-wing wave is coming like a tsunami. The left’s obsession with gender, climate, and borderless policies has pushed working-class people to the edge. They want security, not social experiments, and they’re responding by shifting decisively to the right. This isn’t a minor change; it’s a massive wave sweeping across the West, from Ohio to Oslo, growing stronger by the day. Identity politics is burning out – people are over it. "Woke" is when everything revolves around forcing diversity and gender nonsense, while the right-wing wave is ordinary people saying, "No thanks, we want order." For those of us ...

- Or Does He Just Not Know Better? Trump claims a lot about Zelenskyy, but where’s the evidence? I started digging myself. Trump tries to piece together the puzzle – but key pieces are still missing. (Image generated by Grok , created by xAI.) When I read that Donald Trump called Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator, claiming he’d been in power too long without elections and lost the people’s support, I got curious. These statements were popping up all over the media, clearly stirring plenty of debate. But the more I read, the more it felt like something was missing – there were tons of opinions, but few actually explained what’s behind it all. Is Zelenskyy really a dictator? Could he have held elections? Where does he actually stand with the people? I decided to investigate myself, not because I have any special insight, but because I wanted to find facts amid all the noise. I’m no expert on Ukrainian law or politics, so this is my amateur attempt at finding answers. To get to the bottom of...

Yet We Fear the Natural Amount of Vitamin D In early February 2025, a bizarre food scandal rocked Norway—what locals dubbed "the egg scandal." A major agricultural supplier accidentally delivered feed laced with extreme levels of vitamin D to chickens and pigs in a central region of the country. The result? Eggs containing up to 300 micrograms (12,000 IU) of vitamin D each—enough to send food safety authorities into a tailspin. Your body makes it naturally, but in food, it’s suddenly dangerous? (Image generated by ChatGPT , created by OpenAI.) Over 10 million eggs—roughly 600 tons—were recalled from stores, and more than 700 pigs had to be destroyed due to the contaminated feed. Officials labeled it "dangerous," urging people to toss their eggs in the trash. But was this really a threat to public health, or did we just throw away a golden opportunity out of sheer panic? Vitamin D – Essential, Yet Misunderstood Vitamin D isn’t just a nutrient; it’s a hormone that reg...

When Trump negotiates, there’s no soft diplomatic fluff—just a deal you’ve got to accept. (Image generated by Grok, created by xAI.)A possibility no one wants to talk about! NATO is trembling, the EU is protesting, and the media is raging. What happens when Trump decides to restructure the world order—without asking Europe first? They laughed at him—now they’re watching him create peace. (Image generated by Grok , created by xAI.) Trump has always been an unpredictable player on the international stage. But one thing he’s been clear about: He wants an end to wars. Now that he’s showing signs of negotiating with Putin, Europe’s elite are reacting with panic. What exactly are they afraid of? Are We Witnessing a Political Earthquake? Something interesting is happening right now. Something that’s sent shockwaves through the corridors of European power. Trump is back in the spotlight, and rumors are swirling that he wants to negotiate directly with Putin—without giving Europe a central role...
