Rob McConnell, President and CEO of Canada’s Relmar Media Company and host of Canada’s syndicated radio and TV show The ‘X’ Zone, has written an unexpected song in honor of a frequent guest, author, scientific thinker, and radio personality: Howard Bloom. Bloom, the author of nine books, has been called The Einstein, Newton, Darwin, and

Who the Hell Is Howard Bloom? Howard Bloom is one of those wildly eclectic thinkers who refuses to be pinned down — he’s part science theorist, part cultural provocateur, and part cosmic storyteller. Born in Buffalo in 1943, Bloom started off as a science-obsessed kid, digging into microbiology and cosmology long before most people could
This cosmos is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. Among other things, it is replete with immaterial forces that have power over material things. Yes, immaterial forces. Forces you and I can’t see. What in the world do I mean? At the very birth of the universe in a Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago, the
Visionary author, cultural theorist, and futurist Howard Bloom continues to challenge, provoke, and illuminate global conversations through his groundbreaking work and the mission of The Howard Bloom Institute—a think tank dedicated to exploring the forces that shape human behavior, innovation, and destiny. Known for connecting dots others don’t even see, Howard Bloom has spent decades examining the hidden
If you’ve ever tried to understand why civilizations rise, why movements catch fire, or why humans keep repeating the same grand mistakes and breakthroughs, chances are you’ve already wandered into Howard Bloom territory—whether you knew it or not. Bloom isn’t interested in surface-level answers. He’s after the machinery underneath human behavior: evolution, power, ideas, cooperation, conflict. Long
Frankly, I was horrified by the coverage of Israel’s retaliatory strikes on October 29th. Horrified by the headlines claiming “strikes kill more than 100 in Gaza.” And horrified by the mainstream media’s coverage of this entire Gaza war. The mainstream media has been hijacked by Hamas. Hijacked by Muslim movements that want to see Israel exterminated
This is not the same world it was on January 20, 2025. Things we are accustomed to are being yanked away. And things we were taught to believe are true are now being called false. Plus some of the things we’re being told are not true at all. The trend in governance is turning upside down. For 90 years,
In September, when Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, sat down for nearly an hour in a private session with Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly, Zelensky asked for American Tomahawk missiles. Then, two days ago, on October 6th, Trump told reporters that before making a decision he wanted to clarify exactly how the
We may be closer to World War Three than we have been in 42 years. World wars happen when giant alliances face off against each other, with each nation pledged to come to the defense of the other. World War I happened when there were two giant alliances facing off against each other. Those alliances had
Ever since 1990, China has been speaking of a New World Order, a multi-polar order that spans the globe. What does a multi-polar order mean? China wants to eclipse the United States. In the words of China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, China wants to be the new rising sun that replaces America’s old sun, a sun that’s setting. “The
The Trump, Zelensky, and Putin relationship is in play and changing hour by hour. The President of the USA met with Vladimir Putin Friday, August 15th, in Alaska. President Trump went into a two and a half hour huddle with his “friend” Vladimir swearing that he would get a ceasefire, and that if no ceasefire was
Which is out of control, crime or Donald trump? It all depends on your point of view. At 3 a.m., Sunday, August 3, in the 1400 block of Swann Street NW, near Logan Circle in Washington, D.C., an upscale neighborhood, something awful happened. A tall, good-looking nineteen year old, a former staffer for Elon Musk’s
Early in the afternoon of Wednesday, August 6th, President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement on a phone conference with the leaders of Britain, Germany, NATO, Finland, and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump said that he would hold an unexpected meeting next week: a summit with Vladimir Putin of Russia. And soon after, he would preside over
Wednesday, July 30th, at a United Nations Conference in New York, the 29 nations of the Arab League signed on to “The New York Declaration”, a declaration calling for a two-state solution for the war in Gaza. What’s a two state solution? A solution that hands the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the territory of the
Here’s the question. Has Vladimir Putin been playing Donald Trump, stringing him along, and making a fool out of him. You be the judge. On June 14th, President Trump had a phone call with Russia’s President Putin. When it was over, Trump was optimistic about achieving peace. To show Russia’s willingness to negotiate, President Trump
“We must chop off Trump’s hand, slit Netanyahu’s throat, [and] annihilate Israel.” Gen. Ebrahim Jabbari, senior advisor to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps In the past week, the Middle East has been transformed dramatically. Here’s how. Iran says it has never pursued a nuclear weapon. In fact, Iran began work on nuclear weapons over 35 years ago,
To many of us Americans, it feels as if the world has been turned upside down. Why? First of all, we are torn between two radically different truths, the MAGA truth and the Democrat truth. Those two truths are what led Newt Gingrich, a person I’ve worked with, to say on Wednesday, June 4, that there is
At 6:01 pm on the evening of May 20th, CNN published a story reporting that, “The US has obtained intelligence suggesting that Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.” The story, says CNN, came from “multiple us officials familiar with the latest intelligence.” And what was their data source? “Private messaging from senior Israeli officials,
Today’s world is driving some of us insane. Especially us liberal Democrats. Why? The realities we take for granted are heaving beneath our feet. For example, Democrats believe that standard ethical and moral norms have been swallowed by a sinkhole. On May 14th, our president openly used his Saudi trip to make business deals for his family.
On April 22nd, in a scenic valley in the Western Himalayan mountains known for its breathtaking beauty, five armed men in military uniforms emerged from the pine forest, rounded up a group of tourists, forced the men to sit or kneel, asked each man his religion, and if the answer wasn’t Islam, killed him at
Wednesday, April 29th, in New York State’s capital, Albany, Governor Kathy Hochul and the leaders of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate announced an agreement on a whopping $254 billion state budget—a budget that still requires approval by the New York State Legislature. Buried in that quarter-trillion-dollar deal was something
The evening of April 22nd at 7:08 pm the Washington news publication Axios revealed the hidden details of Donald Trump’s peace plan for the Ukraine, his “final offer.” What did our president’s peace plan require? That Ukraine recognizes as Russian a key piece of Ukrainian territory that Russia seized by force in 2014—a traditional headquarters for
The mood of us Americans right now is flat out bonkers. One measure of the mood of the nation is the stock market, which lost almost thirteen trillion dollars in value from the day of our president’s inauguration to April 2nd, when our president took to the Rose Garden and announced sky-high tariffs on 180
