Disinformation

DEAD NEUTRAL, CONSTITUTIONAL, ALREADY ACCEPTED BY THE ACADEMICS

Proven and peer-reviewed methodologies for triangulating truthful news, interdisciplinary scientific impasses, and "both sides" of the filter bubble.

Plus align AI unreliability by re-establishing the already agreed-upon "reality ground wire."

Used The Daily Show to predict 2026's reality crisis in 2005 (and get a Fortune 500 + Big 10 to build the 1st multi-campus disinfo fighting network)

MANHATTAN PROJECT #2

The IDH was 20 years ahead on disinformation because Dr. McKain used The Daily Show to predict our reality crisis in 2005 and build the first "Manhattan Project" -- a multi-campus disinfo and civil civic debate platform -- in 2007 with a Big 10 university and Fortune 500

COMMONPLACE

The First "Manhattan Project" Build: Co-launched the first nationally scalable, multi-campus disinfo and peer-review platform. Connecting students across the ideological divide a decade before the "filter bubble" became a household term.

BIPARTISAN and MULTI-FAITH COALITIONS & COMMUNITIES

Civil civic 3rd- rail policy forums (medical science → trauma) for bipartisan elected officials.

Bridged MAGA/Evangelical and BIPOC/Inner-City narrative streams via post-fact journalism networks, raised $27K for Little Earth Native HUD Community mutual aid.

Runner-up, NPR Next Team Challenge.
