100 Years in 10 Minutes (1911 - 2011 in 10 Minutes)
When you write history, you’re always confronted with the question: what facts and events will make it into your historical account, and which ones will be left out? When it comes to this viral video produced by Donolinio Studio, what makes the cut? Europe. America. Men. And a long list of downers: war, depravation, natural disaster, a-bombs, social crisis, financial crisis, genocide and assassination, all set to a dramatic soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. What gets left out? Anything that seemingly makes life worth living and (with some minor exceptions) human achievement. And, yes, Africa and Latin America too — except for the first World Cup tournament played in Uruguay. |

Colorado Springs, CO
----------------------------------------The topic of nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is very mysterious to most people, and it is quite commonly misunderstood. It is also the subject of a large amount of misinformation. (It is a persistent problem that many people want to ignore the science and make it into a political issue.) There are many additional EMP pages on this site, including separate pages on EMP personal protection, Soviet nuclear EMP tests in 1962, and on other EMP related topics including a separate page of notes and technical references. There is also an important page about widely-believed EMP myths. Much of the information here describes the possible effects of EMP on the continental United States, but the information can be used to describe the effects on any industrialized country. http://www.futurescience.com/emp.html |

US WAR ON IRAN: "THE WORST MISTAKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY":
----------------------------------------The Road to Disaster by Fidel Castro Ruz Fidel Castro ‘s latest reflections hints to the danger of a looming US Iran war. Fidel Castro warns that a war with Iran war would be the worst mistake in US history. This Reflection could be written today, tomorrow or any other day without the risk of being mistaken. Our species faces new problems. When 20 years ago I stated at the United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro that a species was in danger of extinction, I had fewer reasons than today for warning about a danger that I was seeing perhaps 100 years away. At that time, a handful of leaders of the most powerful countries were in charge of the world. They applauded my words as a matter of mere courtesy and placidly continued to dig for the burial of our species. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=29923 |

An nVidia GeForce GT220 graphics card, which costs about £30, is capable of cracking strong passwords in a matter of hours. Security experts were able to crack a 6 character password in 4 seconds, a 7 character password in less than 5 minutes, and 8 character password in four hours.
----------------------------------------"People have worked out that the processing power of graphics cards, due to the architecture of the chips, is more powerful than a normal processor for doing certain tasks," said Neil Lathwood, IT director at UKFast. http://thehackernews.com/2011/10/gpu-cracks-6-character-password-in-4.html |

Just returned from fishing in Guatamala where the locals state that the pacific ocean is 1-2 feet higher then normal! They also told me that this repeats itself ( after going back to normal levels) every 21years! Curious as I had never heard of this, if true before. Lunar cycle? Was not recently the moon the closest to the earth it had been in 800 years?

Earth Day and the Great “Sustainability” Lie Americans are paying the hangman for the rope.
----------------------------------------It is estimated that since the origin of the global warming hoax in the late 1980s, Americans have seen $50 billion of their dollars thrown down the climate change rat hole. In a January CNSnews commentary, Elizabeth Harrington noted that “A study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined that the United States (has been) funding the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations’ authority on alleged man-made global warming, with $31.1 million since 2001, nearly half of the panel’s annual budget.” http://lettingfreedomring.com/2012/04/18/eart...great-sustainability-lie/ |
