Spin is Not, in fact Truth

If you’re only getting your news from one source, or from a handful of sources that publish opinion stories that you agree with, you aren’t getting the Truth. The Truth can only be confirmed by multiple, objective, independent sources. The Truth can only be confirmed with facts.

Rumors you read on Reddit or Facebook, or theory-based reporting from partisan ‘news’ outlets like MSNBC, FOX, OAN, NewsMax and others should be taken as such: they are THEORIES. That means you still need FACTS to confirm or disprove.

Being objective means you base your world view on EVIDENCE.

Because a bunch of comments on Tiktok posts say the same thing, doesn’t mean it’s true. ‘A lot of people say’ doesn’t make it true. It just means a lot of people THINK it’s true. If they’ve been lied to, and didn’t fact-check their information, how would you know?

I’m an independent. To stay objective, I read news from all around the world. I take each story in context of ‘Who Published It’ and ‘Who else can confirm it’. If I read an article in Russia Today, I take it as probable Russian spin, possible propaganda. Yet some of the stories are perfectly factual, confirmed by multiple other news outlets.

Musician & Independent Thinker, Jamie Gray

MSNBC will put a left wing spin. Fox will spin it to the right. If you watch BOTH of them and CNN, the facts will be the one’s they all agree on. Sometimes you may have to ignore one side or the other because they are ignoring the facts. Some of the ‘News agencies’ do that more than others, but that’s a rant for another time.

The bottom line is pretty fucking simple: Confirm EVERYTHING by other sources. MULTIPLE sources. Multiple OBJECTIVE sources. That’s the key. What facts are confirmable? Which ones are guesses? Spin?

The truth will set you free. It’s out there…you just have to take the time to look FOR the facts. So you can look AT the FACTS, not the spin they WANT you to believe. If they have to TRY to convince you, it’s probably bullshit. ~jg

Authors Note: All opinions expressed here are just that: opinions. If you don’t like mine, I probably won’t like yours either. Let’s just nod, and walk away. Maybe come back with solutions instead of opinions. Because of the two, only solutions actually matter.

Scientists predict when out-of-control space station will crash to Earth

Around and round and round we go
Where she drops, nobody knows.
Or when.
It could be an Easter miracle for some lucky community.

Air-Breathing Electric Thruster Paves the Way for Almost Indefinite Satellite Missions

Let’s get the President into #SpaceForceOne ASAP for his “indefinite satellite mission”. But seriously…this is the kind of thing that changes space exploration. Huge steps for mankind.
I look at Trump blathering on my TV and shake my head. We’re accepting THIS as OK.
We’re so not ready. The Universe will fuck us up.

Congress’ spending bill is a rude awakening for Sessions’ war on medical marijuana

Yes, but he still can go after recreational sales, and legal dispensary owners or even employees could be considered drug dealers, and subject to the fucking death penalty.

Twice the size of Texas. That’s…well, actually that’s about the size of Alaska…and, unfortunately also the size of the plastic island of doom in the Pacific.

Autonomous cars may soon navigate better in fog

In theory, autonomous cars could be better at driving in fog than humans…thanks to technology like this, which could allow the vehicle to “see” where a human could not. Assuming the technology can actually penetrate the fog and the software / AI properly interprets the output, of course.

Don’t Delete Facebook—Just Be Smarter on Facebook

Don’t delete Facebook…if you do, then they will still have all that data on you, but you will have ZERO control. At least while you have your account, you can control access and availability.
Here’s a better suggestion: Don’t be an idiot. That means, don’t post ANYTHING that you wouldn’t want the WHOLE WORLD to know. THAT is the rule folks. THAT is the level of TRUST that you must accept with your personal info out there on the Internet.
Accept it. Live it. Otherwise, you’re gonna get burned by trolls and hackers…and your favorite Social Networks, who do NOT really care about your privacy. Seriously…they don’t. You know I’m right.

Sessions issues memo on use of death penalty in drug-related cases

Anyone put to death by the Government for Drug Dealing will have been MURDERED by the Government, suffering a cruel and unusual penalty that does NOT fit the crime. It would be like giving bootleggers the chair for running moonshine…this is NOT China, or Putin’s Russia, or Duterte’s Philippines, where a repressionist minority dictates their right wing biased will upon the masses without consent. No, last time I checked, this was still a DEMOCRACY.
People have the RIGHT to choose their drug of choice, and they should be able to buy it without government interference. You don’t rid the streets of drug dealers by threatening them…you put them out of business, by legalizing a controlled, supply & demand driven market. If you get rid of prohibition, you get rid of the black market. Prohibition didn’t work for alcohol 100 years ago because it is a failed idea, that doesn’t work for controlling public use of ANY drug.
The BEST control is the TRUTH and the TRUTH is never found when one closes their eyes and depends on superstition and taboo, rather than science and fact. Want an example? #Tobacco. Telling the truth about tobacco use has been the SINGLE biggest reason for decreased smoking, in both teens and adults in America. #CheckIt
Jeff Sessions is misinformed and a fool at best, or he knows the truth and is manipulating it for political, racist purposes at worst. He should NOT be in a position which requires a person to be ethical…Like #USAG.
