"It means wars. It means famines. It means raging forest fires and the death of grasslands. September 26, 2013 | Three quarters of a billion people is a lot of people. And that's how many people, within the next 22 years, will almost certainly run low on water - a necessity of life - in just the regions whose rivers are supplied with water from the glaciers in the Himalayas.

"Matrixology: fact vs. fiction Sep2 by Jon Rappoport Matrixology: fact vs. fiction by Jon Rappoport September 2, 2013 www.nomorefakenews.com I've made this point several times: fiction is often a better way than fact to gain insight into the Matrix.

Introducción al Ciberfeminismo Marisol Salanova ¿Qué vamos a ver? La ponente Apúntate a la actividad Cabecera_agenda_madrid_blog Las luchas históricas del feminismo han encontrado en la tecnología alianzas útiles para amplificar las denuncias de estereotipos femeninos sexistas, así como para coordinar estrategias y acciones por los derechos de la mujer, pero también de las identidades queer o de género indefinido.

[ By Patrick J. Michaels This article appeared on The Daily Caller on February 10, 2011. In a recent and wonderful New York Times essay, John Tierney documented the pervasive left-leaning bias of the social sciences in particular and academia in general, which he persuasively painted as the home of tired ideological groupthink.
