Fresh water has been dubbed “Blue Gold” in many publications as potable water will be to this century what oil was to the last century. Less than three percent of the water on the earth’s surface is fresh water. When we deduct the amount in the ice at each pole and the rivers flowing in uninhabited areas that number is less than one percent. From this amount the nearly 4 billion people [at last count, almost 7 billion people - John N-G] on earth use to survive.
This small amount of water is the cause of the gamut of action taken by governments of the world ranging from conservation to armed conflict.
SPICEWOOD, Texas January 31, 2012, 03:59 am ETSPICEWOOD, Texas (AP) — Tanker trucks loaded with water have become the lifeline for a Texas lakefront village that came precariously close to becoming the state’s first community to run out of drinking water during a historic drought.
The freedom of our internet is at stake, 1984 is here, Big Brother is watching you, tracking your every move, and he is slowly dissolving your connections to uncensored content. Google’s actions have prompted me to write a “State of the Internet” address regarding our current Orwellian existence.
In addition to Google’s new privacy concerns, this page will seek to document any programs, software, and companies or organizations that help fund, effect, or support censorship and/or tracking on the internet; as well as ways to protect yourself and browse anonymously online. This page will be updated from time to time with no notice.
Protip: click the links in the following paragraph to see how each of these Google services cause great concern for privacy advocates.
Google is the world’s most popular search engine, and YouTube (owned by Google) is the world’s most popular video hosting site. Google also offers tons of other services, like Gmail, the world’s most popular online email service, Google Maps, the world’s most popular mapping software, who’s Street View cars recorded local WIFI’s in your homes and geolocated them. The two services of greatest concern for privacy advocates are Google Analytics and Google Safe Browsing. Google Chrome is Google’s own browser, combines all of the above mentioned services together like Voltron’s Big Brother. Google’s mantra “do no evil” is now officially riding the fail whale.
“The main change is for users with Google Accounts. Our new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if you’re signed in, we may combine information you’ve provided from one service with information from other services. In short, we’ll treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience.”
The idea is to consolidate all your online activities into a single profile that tells their marketing clients and law enforcement anything they want to know about Joe Smith, 221 Mockingbird Lane. Privacy advocates are up in arms. You should be too, read on and I’ll take you on a tour of modern day Big Brother.

Steam and radiation affected the quality of the video, but you can see gamma rays — which are detected by the camera in a manner similar to light but not focused by the lens — in the footage looking like streaks and flashes.
What the frack am I talking about? A fracking tragedy is playing out all across America, and it’s about fracking time we all learn the truth about this blatant destruction of our environment for the temporary easing of our energy needs. We all can agree that we (Americans) need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, however hydraulic fracturing of ground shale for gas extraction (fracking) is an investment in a finite resource that destroys groundwater supplies and possibly induces man-made earthquakes. This article will be an overview of the reckless destruction of personal property, environment, and quality of life for those unfortunate enough to have shale gas deposits under their homes.
I found this excellent article on the history and evolution of upper atmosphere research and weapons of mass destruction. The article is text only, with no links, so for your viewing pleasure, I will animate this history with pictures and links. Anything in a block quote or in italics was added Enjoy!

HAARP, the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program has to be (at least for me) the most fascinating device on the planet. A source of much controversy, with stories of weather modification and earthquake warfare dominating the conspiracy rings, this article seeks to piece together a thorough understanding of this amazing facility, it’s capabilities, and it’s cousins.
