Note: In the event that facts no longer matter, please contact the host so he may properly align with our new overlords. Until then - no tribalism, no ideologies, no political parties, no dog whistles, and no teams. Everyone deserves the facts. Part documentary, part historical record, each episode of Drinking From Human Skulls serves up a truth sandwich with a dash of comedy and a sprinkling of satire. Homepage: DrinkingFromHumanSkulls.com

In a world where 2 masks are better than one, we are being told to trust the science. The scientists though... are not making it easy. More and more, science is being used as a political weapon. But it's more than that. The top doctors seem to be far better at generating publicity than they are at doing science.
Should you trust the experimental vaccine? Is there proof that double masking does anything but make you look dumb? In this episode, once again, we'll follow the money and listen to some very rational alternative points of view. Fair warning: knowledge is dropped.

In mid-January, 2021, the Parler app was banned by Google, Amazon, and Apple in what appeared to be a coordinated attack. What does this mean for free speech? For anti-trust and monopolistic practices? The collusion between big tech and the democratic left grows ever-more obvious. One thing's for sure - it ain't good.
I'll give you my thoughts and we'll hear from the now former-CEO of Parler John Matze. He thinks this is a corporate takedown and many others think something is up as well. It would seem that corporate power is tied very strongly to political will. And after 2020 consolidated resources into the hands of the few, this is a trend that must be observed closely.
Saddle up and take a drink friends. It ain't good, but knowledge is power. I love you all.

About 6 months into the COVID-19 pandemic, a new buzzword was getting a lot of use: "trust the science" - and anybody who dared to ask questions? Well, they must be a right-wing, pro-Trump, dirtbag. Only one problem... Many of the people who haven't been trusting "the science" are legitimate doctors. Some of them are the best in their fields.
This is part 1 in a series of episodes where I take a look at the actual science from the most well-intentioned voices - even Donald Trump. Follow the money as I deconstruct the hydroxychloroquine fiasco, the suppression of slam dunk COVID treatment ivermectin, and speculate on why the disinformation campaign against valid medicines is so heavy-handed.
Could it be the powers that be want to sell their vaccine? Was Trump derangement syndrome making people crazy? Politics, corporations, and science don't mix. This time, the people needed to lose everything so the most powerful could win big.

Remember when they banned, canceled, and de-platformed Alex Jones? It seemed like all the social media companies conspired against him. It makes sense - his ideas are nutty. But censorship norms & free speech took a major blow when they silenced Jones.
In this episode, I get into why censoring people is almost always a bad idea. It's a violation of free speech, no doubt, but it also has other unintended consequences. Take a drink of this, friends!
