Marijuana Does Not Lose Potency By Cloning By Robert Korczynski I was watching Anton Petrov on YouTube explain how mammalian cloning starts to fail after 25 generations and cannot make it past 58 because the cells must be manipulated in a lab to reset them which introduces unavoidable mutations. He noted that plants (and there was a picture of a Russet potato) can be cloned indefinitely. Despite saying this, a clear pothead in the comments still claimed that "a certain plant" loses potency and flavor every time it is cloned. The idea that cloning marijuana repeatedly leads to a loss of potency is a myth that originated with viral infections in commercial grows, and has almost nothing to do with home grows. Mammalian cloning starts to fail after the 25th generation and hits a hard wall by the 58th because you have to force a specialized cell back into a stem cell, which introduces non-functional mutations over time. Plants are different, they grow roots from cuttings without f...

No Bells for Jesus Just Muslim Calls to Prayer By Robert Korczynski April 3, 2026 Good Friday As I sit here in West Dearborn, just a few blocks from Sacred Heart Catholic Church at Michigan Avenue and Military on Good Friday between Noon and 3:00 PM, something is missing. This is the sacred window: the Three Hours’ Agony. For over 85 years, Sacred Heart marked this time with a precise sequence of bells, and rang out the hour every day as a heartbeat for all of West Dearborn. But today, there is only silence. I just realized it has been three years since these bells were turned off. In May 2023, roughly a year after Mayor Abdullah Hammoud took office as the country’s first Muslim mayor of a Muslim majority city, the current pastor, Father Ken Chase, officially ended the tradition. He stated exactly in the parish bulletin: "The electronic carillon system that provided the sound of bells from our tower is now beyond its service life and has been turned off." This system was a le...

Artemis II Was The First Manned Attempt To Cross The Van Allen Belts ​The Soviet Monopoly on Space Flight ​Before the Artemis program, the Soviet Union was the absolute authority on the physics of the solar system. The Soviets systematically occupied every major milestone in the inner solar system, beating America to every real benchmark: ​First Object in Orbit: October 4, 1957 (Sputnik 1) ​First Dog in Orbit: November 3, 1957 (Sputnik 2; Laika) ​First to Reach the Moon’s Vicinity: January 2, 1959 (Luna 1) ​First to Impact the Lunar Surface: September 14, 1959 (Luna 2) ​First to Photograph the Far Side of the Moon: October 7, 1959 (Luna 3) ​First Human in Orbit: April 12, 1961 (Yuri Gagarin in Vostok 1) ​First to Fly By Mars: November 1, 1962 (Mars 1) ​First Soft Landing on the Moon: February 3, 1966 (Luna 9) ​First to Reach Another Planet's Atmosphere: October 18, 1967 (Venera 4) ​First to Orbit the Moon and Return with Living Beings: September 14, 1968 (Zond 5) ​First ...

Artemis II Was the First Manned Moon Mission By Robert Korczynski Wednesday, April 1, 2026 1957–1972: The Era of Deception Starting in 1957, the Soviets dominated actual space engineering, forcing the U.S. into a reactive state where they used Hollywood and aircraft technology to simulate parity. This era of deception lasted until the program was shuttered in 1972. It began in October 1957 with the Soviet Union achieving orbit for the first time with Sputnik. By January 1958, the U.S. matched it with Explorer 1, immediately hitting the Van Allen radiation belts—proving a lethal radioactive environment exists that 1950s technology could not safely shield for humans. 1961–1962: The Soviet Lead and the "Aircraft" Hull On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit the Earth, a massive technical victory for the USSR. Exactly one year later, in February 1962, the U.S. finally matched the feat with John Glenn. To catch up, NASA utilized a 1.5-inch aluminum honeycom...

​FTC Sues Apple Over Suppressed Hezbollah Synagogue Attack ​ By Robert Korczynski Date: March 31, 2026 ​The straw that broke the camel's back. ​For over six years, the 155 million people in the United States that own an iPhone have been fed a constant stream of partisan Democrat stories that demonized both President Trump and Israel. The coverup by almost all mainstream media that the Michigan synagogue attack was committed by the brother of a Hezbollah terrorist unalived by the IDF for shooting missiles at Israeli civilians over the last two weeks has now become the primary evidence for a federal dismantling of Apple’s editorial department by the FTC. ​1. The Timeline: Federal Silence and the Typical Media Coverup ​While the mainstream media spent weeks focusing on "mental health" and the actions of a distraught brother, the primary source evidence tells a different story of calculated suppression and providing support for terrorists by the American Media and Apple. ​ M...

Silver is the New Platinum for Jewelry ​By Robert Korczynski All right. So now I'm going to teach you how to get free diamonds. I’ve spent three years tracking the lab-grown diamond market, even building my own diamond lab to test everything from moissanite and sapphire to cubic zirconia and diamonds: everything that was sent to me that was supposed to be a diamond. In that time, I’ve documented a collapse where prices for high-quality stones crashed from $800 to just $200 a carat in a matter of months. With the industry in such ruins that De Beers is officially for sale, this collapse has created an opportunity that I've never seen before.  For the last year and a half, Luvansh has been the undisputed leader in selling lab-diamond jewelry online, and they have sold 1-carat total weight (1ctw) 14k white gold stud earrings for $349 pretty much continuously, usually using a 50% off sale, while every other competitor was charging $800 to $1,200 for the exact same specs. Nobody cou...
