Richard Harlan

Independent researcher, author, and educator dedicated to making complex, evidence-based knowledge accessible and actionable.

Researcher. Writer.
Truth-Seeker.

Richard Harlan is an independent researcher and author who writes practical, evidence-based guides on subjects that are too often buried in jargon, obscured by institutional inertia, or drowned out by misinformation. His work spans four fields most authors would never combine: lie-detection science, repurposed-drug cancer research, counter-surveillance, and traffic-law defence. What unites them is a single conviction — that ordinary people deserve access to accurate, source-backed knowledge, presented clearly enough to act on.

Publishing under the Information Station banner, Harlan brings a rigorous, citation-heavy methodology to every title. He builds each guide the way a good analyst builds a brief: start from primary sources — peer-reviewed journals, clinical-trial registries, declassified government documents, court records and published statutes — and refuse to make a claim that cannot be traced back to one. There is no conjecture dressed up as fact, no anecdote standing in for evidence, and no agenda beyond clarity.

His writing occupies the space between the academic paper and the practical manual. A dense oncology study becomes a readable summary of what the data do — and do not — show. A 400-page national-research report on the polygraph becomes a plain-language account of why the science is contested. A tangle of provincial traffic statutes becomes a step-by-step playbook a self-represented driver can actually follow. The goal is never to tell readers what to think, but to give them the documented facts and the tools to decide for themselves.

“Knowledge that stays locked in journals and classified archives serves no one. My mission is to make it accessible, accurate, and actionable.”

— Richard Harlan

The four pillars of the Information Station series

🧬

Repurposed-Drug Research

What the published literature on ivermectin, fenbendazole and mebendazole actually shows.

🔬

Lie Detection

How the polygraph works, why its validity is disputed, and what the research concludes.

🛡️

Counter-Surveillance

Detecting and evading digital, vehicle and physical tracking from public tradecraft.

⚖️

Traffic-Law Defence

Fighting radar, lidar, DUI and traffic-court charges, province by province.

Approach & standards

Every Information Station guide follows the same discipline: claims are sourced to primary, publicly accessible references; complex material is translated without being dumbed down; and readers are treated as capable adults who can weigh evidence when it is laid out honestly. Harlan writes explicitly for the informed reader who demands accuracy over sensationalism — and who would rather understand a subject than be sold a conclusion.
