When doctors publish lies ~ and peer review in medical journals fails

What's the future of peer review? Bad peer review processes are finally catching up with the scientific research industry; recent high profile cases of scientific misconduct have rocked the boat--big time!

Obama = Hitler // VIDEO // GOP Psychosis + Sociopathy Threaten World

This video was created by U.S. organizations central to the Republican establishment. They are respected by the GOP mainstream.

Dark dark times are upon us, if normal folks don't speak against videos like this one.

It violates every ethical standard required for democracy.
