  The Shocking Truth about Public...

  Public health policies are often framed as measures designed to protect the population, improve well-being, and prevent disease. Governments, health agencies, and media outlets present these policies as the result of careful scientific research, public interest, and expert consensus. However, beneath the surface, public health is not just about science—it is deeply entangled with politics, economics, and power structures that influence decisions more than most people realize.  
    
  Many assume that public health guidelines are purely based on the best available data, but the reality is far more complex. Policies are frequently shaped by corporate interests, lobbying efforts, and political agendas rather than unbiased scientific evidence. Pharmaceutical companies, food conglomerates, and other industries wield significant influence over the very institutions meant to regulate them. This raises critical questions: Are these policies truly designed for the benefit of the people, or are they tools for financial and political gain?  
    
  The illusion of safety plays a crucial role in how these policies are accepted by the public. Fear-based messaging, emotional appeals, and selective use of data are commonly employed to justify drastic measures. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a stark example of this phenomenon—governments around the world enforced lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and surveillance measures, all under the banner of public health. Those who questioned the effectiveness or necessity of these policies were often silenced, labeled as spreading misinformation, or even punished. This suppression of dissent not only limits individual freedom but also prevents legitimate scientific debate from taking place.

  The Tensaw River - Alabama's...

  The Tensaw River introduces one of the American South's richest and most fertile natural features. Author Mike Bunn is director of Historic Blakeley State Park, which is nestled in a prominent bend of the majestic Tensaw River. 
   
   
   
  Forming the eastern boundary of the expansive Mobile-Tensaw Delta, the Tensaw has had little industrial development. Left largely undisturbed, the river flows free and bountiful into the grand estuary of Mobile Bay in ways that would be recognizable to Native Americans centuries ago and to pioneers who arrived before Alabama became a state. 
   
   
   
  Bunn's unforgettable stories in The Tensaw River trace the construction and occupation of the Bottle Creek site, an important mound complex built by Southeastern Native Americans a millennia ago. Nearby Blakeley is an antebellum ghost town whose lost memories tease the imagination. During the Civil War, the boom of artillery fire in the battle that sealed the fate of the city of Mobile echoed along the bends in the Tensaw. 
   
   
   
  Located near popular travel destinations, the Tensaw's "Forgotten Cultural Heritage Corridor" is a gateway to the enchanting beauty of—and humankind's relationship to—the landscape of the American South.
