Information Clearing House

news you won’t find on CNN or FOXnews.

  • This website does not suggest that it contains the « truth ». The truth is a combination of all information and all facts relating to a topic. It is therefore unachievable (in my opinion) for anyone to say « I know the truth. »
  • If you came to this site in search of « the truth » you will be disappointed. That is also true of CNN, FOX , ABC etc. If you came to gather information you may find it a useful resource … //
  • … This means that each citizen has a civic responsibility … //
  • … Truth is indefinable. Information is unlimited. (full text Purpose and Intent of this website).

Shamanism predates all other religions and survives today after over 20,000 years, because it is a sustainable philosophical way of life.
