The Truth 365

In less than ten years social media has taken the world by storm. We can now communicate with almost anyone from anywhere effortlessly and instantly and the ways we use social media are endless: to stay in touch, for entertainment, to express ourselves, or to satisfy our curiosity about a planet millions of miles from earth.

Seeds of Death

Every single independent study conducted on the impact of genetically modified food shows that it damages organs, it causes infertility, it causes immune system failure, it causes holes in the GI tract, and it causes multiple organ system failure.

Land of Missing Children: The Rape Trade

Teenage girls are victims of one of the fastest growing industries in the world – sex traffic. India’s north east is famed for its tea estates and Himalayan views. It’s the ancient crossroad of trading routes between Bhutan, Nepal, India and Bangladesh, and the town of Siliguri has always been at the heart of international trade.

Mutation: The Science of Survival

Monster mutants lurk in the myths of many cultures, and we’re fascinated yet fearful of nature’s mutants. But mutants are closer to home than we think. Often invisible, mutations are happening all around us, in every living thing. They’re crucial part of evolution. Now researchers are uncovering how mutations actually work and that may help us find cures for life threatening diseases. As we understand more about mutation we may discover more secrets of the history and future of life on this planet.

One Giant Leap: What About Me?

Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman travelled for 7 months through all 5 continents, and recorded in over 50 locations to create the most inspiring film and album they could imagine. Their mission was not only to gather insights on the huge universal themes of life from the most inspiring and illuminating people they could find, but also to seek out the cream of the world’s musicians and compose immense multi-layered music with them.

The Book That Can’t Be Read

Men have always tried to encode secrets, military communication, love letters, forbidden knowledge, and most secret text is eventually decoded, but among all of history’s cryptic writings one stands out. It’s the world’s most mysterious book written by an unknown author in an odd alphabet and brilliantly illustrated with puzzling images. For centuries, it defies all attempts to unveil its secrets. Now, for the first time, experts analyze the ink, pigments and parchments of the Voynich Manuscript.

Love, Reality, and the Time of Transition

All we need is love, but do we really know what love is? Love is a word that is sung about in songs, written in poems, talked about a lot, and it’s something many people long for, one way or the other, mostly in the form of a partner. We hear it a lot these days: be heart centered, be loved, love is the answer, love always wins, send love and light, and so on. People use it casually in conversations in their everyday lives. It is seen as the solution to all the world problems. All you need is love.

City of God, Guns and Gangs

It’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and also one of the most dangerous. In the slums of Rio de Janeiro violent drug gangs operate with impunity, with no regard for human life. Now after decades of chaos, Brazilian authorities are attempting to restore order. They’re using military-like force and a new approach to policing. This bold offensive is referred to as “pacification”, but will it work, and can it work in time?

10 Rules for Dealing with Police

Billy Murphy talks about how to deal with the police. He’s been a judge, but he’s best known as a criminal defense lawyer. He knows how the law works and he knows that for many people the law sometimes doesn’t work. He’s going to show you how to make the law work for you. The choices you make can have a massive impact in the outcomes of your police encounters, even if, and especially if, you’ve done nothing wrong.

American Tourists Flock to Israeli Settlement Shooting School

In an Israeli West Bank settlement bloc known as Gush Etzion, American tourists are flocking to Caliber 3 shooting school, a training camp for Israeli 'security professionals including soldiers and bodyguards', which has recently opened its services to Israeli and American civilians. The company says it offers "the values of Zionism with the excitement and enjoyment of shooting which makes the activity more meaningful."

The company offers a two-hour "tourist course", in which travelers and families take turns shooting at photos of men wearing the keffiyeh scarf worn by Palestinians.

The school was set up in 2002 and opened its doors to tourists roughly three years ago.

The Caliber 3 website promotes the experience as a "special encounter that can not be experienced anywhere else except on the battlefield."

"It's a fun experience for the whole family," Rachel Frogel, a young mother holding a baby in her arms, told Agence France-Press at the Caliber 3 school.

TSA Adult Diaper Check

Agency stands by decision to force Jean Weber’s 95-year-old, cancer-stricken mother to remove her underwear.

In the face of a potential public relations storm, the U.S. government is defending a decision by airport security officials to force a 95-year-old woman with leukemia to remove her adult diaper for a pat-down.

“We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure,” the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement Sunday.

The incident in question occurred on June 18 at Northwest Florida Regional Airport, and quickly gained media attention after the woman’s daughter, Jean Weber, went public with her complaint.

In an interview with CNN, Weber said that the incident occurred when her mother was going through airport security and a TSA agent discovered something “suspicious” on her leg. The officer then took her mother to a private, glassed-in area for further screening. According to Weber, the agent told her that her mother’s diaper was “wet and it was firm, and they couldn’t check it thoroughly.” The women then left to find a bathroom to take off the diaper, as the TSA officer had requested.

Weber said she began to cry during the ordeal—prompting her own pat down—but that her mother remained “very calm” and wasn’t bothered by the fact that she had to continue her journey without underwear.

Weber, who has filed a complaint with TSA, said that she understands the agents were just doing their job but that the procedure needs to be changed to spare others the embarrassment and discomfort her mother went through.

"If this is your procedure—which I do understand—I also feel that your procedure needs to be changed," she said.

The administration heightened airport security last year, including full-body scans and pat-downs to prevent passengers from carrying explosives onto planes. The intention was to prevent attacks similar to the so-called underwear bomber’s failed 2009 attempt. But the agency's strict inspection policies have repeatedly drawn complaints from passengers who say that the procedures can go too far.

The TSA estimates that only 3 percent of passengers are subjected to pat-downs, and that the inspections occur only after someone has triggered a metal detector or declined a full-body scan.
