Vladimir Putin Escapes New World Order Assassination Attempt
Brave Vladimir Putin was the subject of a failed assassination attempt in Moscow as the New World Order attempted to silence their most formidable enemy. Putin’s favorite driver was killed instantly after a Mercedes crossed from the other side of the road without warning and struck the Russian President’s official car head-on. The deadly collision occurred just before President Putin was due to fly to China for the G20 summit where he has had meetings with various world leaders, including Theresa May, US President Barack Obama and Chinese president Xi Jinping.

Rodrigo Duterte, Donald Trump-- Separated At Birth?
I've been saying for some time now that to grasp what a Trumpanzee presidency would be like it's important to just go beyond Mussolini, Hitler and even Putin. I've suggested looking at how quickly Turkish autocrat Recep Tayyip Erdoğan moved to consolidate power in the aftermath of a half-assed coup attempt-- seizing control of the media, the judiciary, the army and any other institution that could be the source of dissent. Over 60,000 people have been detained or suspended from military units (including 40% of the country's generals), the judiciary, universities, newspapers and t... more »
Outrage As California Announce Segregation Of Black Students
Universities across California are implementing a controversial segregation policy, separating black students from everybody else, in an attempt to be “politically correct”. California State University Los Angeles has become the latest institution to offer segregated housing for black students.

One such demand was for a “CSLA housing space” for black students. Thecollegefix.com reports: “... more »
Privatizing the Kill List
Facing a shortage in credentialed military personnel, the Obama administration is outsourcing part of its drone assassination program to unaccountable corporations. What could possibly go wrong?

Hill Star Map - Badly Out of Date
Given some recent astronomical discoveries, I thought it time to revisit the Hill abduction and the connection to Zeta 1 and Zeta 2 Reticuli. These stars were identified by Marjorie Fish as the home of the aliens who abducted Betty and Barney Hill decades ago and have become so embedded in UFO lore that it is accepted with no proof whatsoever. But the information and criterion used to Hill Star Map create the three-dimensional models Fish used to identify the home world of the aliens is now badly out of date. In creating those models, Fish made ten assumptions. I had always worried ... more »

*Governments Shouldn’t Even Certify Schools, Much Less Run Them* In his famous 1955 essay, “The Role of Government in Education,” the venerated economist, Milton Friedman, proposed replacing our government-run system of schooling with a school choice voucher.

Most critics of Friedman argued against his conclusion, preferring a centrally-planned school s... more »
Rising Prices Lead To Highest Oil Revenue of 2016 For Iraq
Iraq’s oil exports have been on a steady pace for most of the year, but a slight increase in prices led to the highest monthly revenue for the country in August 2016. In August Iraq maintained its pace for exports. It averaged 3.23 million barrels a day, which kept pace for the rest of the year where it has averaged 3.244 million barrels a month. In April Iraq reached 3.363 million barrels tying it for the highest level since 2003. It has not been able to meet that mark again, because the Oil Ministry has diverted some of its production to power plants to produce electricity duri... more »

As Muslim women, we Actually ask you not to Wear the Hijab in the Name of Interfaith Solidarity
I am pleased to see Muslims speak out and doubly so to see Muslim women speak out. First there is zero support in the Koran for sumptory laws whatsoever. All claims otherwise are outright lies. The purpose of sumptory laws is that it allows and promotes petty bullying to induce abject submission. This has been exploited by men to assert direct control over women generally. It creates a point of weakness for the slave. After all the military does the same thing by demanding often impossibly perfect kit. This allows NGOs to constantly bully soldiers and to natura... more »

New World Order's Stealthy Tool of Subversion: NGOs
What is curious is that NGOs are not necessarily pursuing American interests at all. They appear to be the tools of idiosyncratic individuals who possess immense wealth.

Yet even if their interests then received favorable treatment, the money did go outside their control. What we have is an independent board pursuing foreign policy of their own and often doing it successfully through mostly media manipulati... more »
Why didn't the Latin language Thrive?
A very good question best answered in the item below. It just is not dead. Languages do devolve into dialects, but always retain their core vocabulary while shifting sounds somewhat. It took public radio to recenter English everywhere from this phenoena. English is actually an unusual hybrid of the two core languages of Latin and German and both are Indo European derived with much in common with Sanskrit. Sanskrit has deeper roots than any.. Thus Latin is today archaic versions of several modern dialects of Latin. Recall also that written Latin changed seriously during r... more »
Scandinavian Ancestry.
This is worth commenting on. What needs to be understood is that pre Roman and Roman times saw scant agricultural development in the forests of Europe. That had to wait until the advent of the steel axe and the deep steel plow in the Late Middle ages. That led to the first industrial revolution along the Rhineland and saw the German colonization of lands to the East. To put this in perspective, my father's ancestors founded a village in the Carpathians around 1250 AD and named it Neuhau ( literally 'new clearing'). That at least shows us the end of the ph... more »

I submitted my first GitHub pull request for Roll20 this evening - an update to the Ghostbusters character sheet to support ghost characters (making this Ghostmaster's life easier).

Now it seems to be the beginning of the final stretch of a campaign that's been raging for a year. We hope no Blue America members are focussing solely on the presidential race.
