I can think of no other for the subjects you mention. That is probably why the political issues cut so deep here. But let's not go there ;-) Sure, there are plenty of sites populated by enthusiastic but average commentators, or else by overly-educated professorial types, where these subjects receive either zero acceptance or zero criticism, but that is not why most of us tune-in here, on occasion. Case in point: read Bill B's comments on "orgone" if it is still available online, yet transposing the word "hydrino" in places where it could fit, realizing that well over half of the online information purporting to be on orgone is totally bogus and the accurate information may relate to a real particle. This may enlighten your understanding of two very nebulous species, if you separate fact from fiction. The key trait to appreciate this forum can be call "discrimination" of the good-kind ... (plus having a good kill-filter) ... and being able to sort out the small-% of wheat from the large excess of chaff ... so to speak. Jones
