Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan is an 1898 novella written by Morgan Robertson. The story features the ocean liner Titan, which sinks in the North Atlantic after striking an iceberg.
The Titan and its sinking have been noted to be very similar to the real-life passenger ship RMS Titanic, which sank fourteen years later. Following the wreck the novel was reissued with some changes, particularly in the ship's gross tonnage.[1] Plot[edit] The first half of Futility introduces the hero, John Rowland. Similarities to the Titanic[edit] Although the novel was written before the Olympic-class Titanic was even designed, there are some uncanny similarities between both the fictional and real-life versions. Beyond the name, the similarities between the Titanic and the fictional Titan include:[4] Popular culture[edit] In audio plays[edit] In games[edit] Akane Kurashiki (a.k.a.

The US Senate and Obama claiming the right to murder and imprison Americans without trial was a fatal mistake. The word is that the Pentagon, the agencies and the militias are on the brink of taking violent action against President Obama and the Senators who claimed the right to kill and/or indefinitely imprison Americans without trial. The criminal cabal in Washington D.C. and Wall Street may be able to pretend they are setting up a fascist/totalitarian dictatorship in the US for a while longer but no serious armed group is going to support them.
The same is true in Europe were Freemason P2 lodgers and Bilderbergers will make a move towards fascist control this week and will seem to be on the offensive but will ultimately fail. The simple fact of the matter is that these fascists simply do not have any reality to back up the numbers they are putting into their financial computers to bribe people and hire bully boys. Cabal struggles desperately to create fascist world government as multiple criminal investigations zero in on them.
The fascist cabal known as the Bilderbergers, CFR, committee of 300 etc., is desperately and without hope trying to start WW3 and install a fascist world government in an attempt to pre-empt criminal investigations closing in on them from all sides. Their efforts will fail because the Pentagon and the agencies in the US (with the exception of homeland Gestapo) are preparing to remove them from power, according to CIA and other sources.
For example, multiple investigations are closing in on alleged President Obama, including one for illegally declaring war on Libya. A count among US representatives show the votes necessary to impeach him are there, US law enforcement officials say. In addition, evidence of bribery and other forms of illegally tampering with government is being compiled against George Soros, among others.

Journal of Scientific Exploration, 22(4), 481-493. An experiment tested the hypothesis that water exposed to distant intentions affects the aesthetic rating of ice crystals formed from that water. Over three days, 1,900 people in Austria and Germany focused their intentions towards water samples located inside an electromagnetically shielded room in California. Water samples located near the target water, but unknown to the people providing intentions, acted as "proximal" controls.
Ice drops formed from samples of water in the different treatment conditions were photographed by a technician, each image was assessed for aesthetic beauty by over 2,500 independent judges, and the resulting data were analyzed, all by individuals blind with respect to the underlying treatment conditions.

Biography[edit] The early years[edit] Bad Boy Entertainment[edit] The Madd Rapper[edit] Production Discography[edit] 1990-1996[edit] 1997[edit] José Luis Blasio, author of Maximiliano íntimo (Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico)-- a few notes and reflections. Read this same post on the new Maximilian and Carlota blog here. Having just finished reading María del Carmen Cuevas Pérez's splendid 1998 thesis for the Universidad Nacional Autónomo de México's Department of History, "Don José Luis Blasio y Prieto: Historia de vida a través de documentos personales", a few notes and reflections: José Luis Blasio (1842 - 1923) was the author of Maximiliano íntimo, a memoir of his years as the Emperor Maximilian's private secretary (and also, an intermediate period, serving the Empress Carlota in Europe in 1866, which coincided with her spectacular psychotic breakdown).
Published in Mexico City and Paris in 1905 and in English nearly three decades later as Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico (Yale University Press, 1934), Blasio's lushly vivid memoir is, without a doubt-- and never mind its less-than-correct political stance-- one of the literary treasures of Mexico. But this is a mere quibble. "He was affable, with great political and social tact. More anon. Maximilian and Carlota: the "Archdupe" and his tragic lady (1832-1867) Jim Tuck In any political struggle, the spectator's first instinct is to look for a hero and a villain. But you don't always encounter a good guy-bad guy matchup. Though the Soviet Union was our ally in the war against a mega-meanie like Hitler, Stalin was later unmasked as a paranoid tyrant and mass murderer whose malefactions in every way matched those of his German counterpart.
Conversely, you can also find a political rivalry in which both contestants wear white hats. Superficially, no two men could have been less alike. But ideologically it was a different story. So how did they come to be pitted in a struggle that could only be resolved by the extermination of one or the other? Who were these men who lured Maximilian to his doom? The emigrés' representative, a Yucatan lawyer named José Maria Gutiérrez, went to see Maximilian in October 1863. Gutiérrez and his associates then launched a Potemkin operation designed to deceive the gullible archduke. Colonisation of Africa. The history of external colonisation of Africa can be divided into three stages, Classical antiquity, Arab conquest, and European colonialism.
In popular parlance, colonialism in Africa refers to the latter of these three waves. In nearly all African countries today, the language used in government and media is a relic inherited from one of these waves of colonisation. The existence of a vast African diaspora is a legacy of the practice of transporting millions of African slaves out of the continent by these external colonisers. Chronological overview[edit] In Ancient times, peoples from Southern Europe and Western Asia colonised North Africa, while peoples from Southeast Asia colonised Madagascar.In the Middle Ages, North and East Africa was further colonised by peoples from Western Asia.In the Modern Era, Western Europeans colonised all parts of the continent, culminating in the Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century.
Ancient and Medieval colonisation[edit] Independent Notes[edit] Scramble for Africa. Areas controlled by European colonial powers on the African continent in 1913, shown along with current national boundaries. Independent The Scramble for Africa (also known as the Race for Africa or Partition of Africa)[1] was the invasion, occupation, colonization, and annexation of African territory by European powers during the New Imperialism period between 1881 and 1914. The Berlin Conference of 1884, which regulated European colonization and trade in Africa, is often cited as a convenient starting point.[2] Consequent to the political and economic rivalries among the European empires, in the last quarter of the 19th century, the partitioning of Africa was how the Europeans avoided warring amongst themselves over Africa.[3] The last 59 years of the 19th century saw the transition from "informal imperialism" (hegemony) by military influence and economic dominance, to the direct rule of colonies.[4] Background[edit] Technological advancement facilitated overseas expansionism.
Axum. Axum or Aksum (Tigrinya:- አኽሱም ˈaĥsum, Amharic:- አክሱም ˈaksum) is a city in northern Ethiopia that was the original capital of the kingdom of Axum. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Africa. It has a population of 56,500 (2010) and is governed as an urban woreda. Axum was a naval and trading power that ruled the region from about 400 BC into the 10th century. The kingdom was also arbitrarily identified as Abyssinia, Ethiopia, and India in medieval writings.
In 1980 UNESCO added Aksum's archaeological sites to its list of World Heritage Sites due to their historic value. Located in the Mehakelegnaw Zone of the Tigray Region near the base of the Adwa mountains, Axum has an elevation of 2,131 meters (6,991 feet). Axum is surrounded by La'ilay Maychew woreda. It is served by Axum Airport (ICAO code HAAX, IATA AXU). History[edit] Axum was the center of the marine trading power known as the Aksumite Kingdom, which predated the earliest mentions in Roman era writings.
Rashid ad-Din Sinan. Rashid ad-Din Sinan the Grand Master of the Assassins at Masyaf successfully alarmed Saladin not to assault the realms of their sect Rashid ad-Din Sinan, also known as The Old Man of the Mountain (c. 1132/1135 – 1192), was a leader of the Ismaili religious sect (Nizari branch) in Syria, and a figure in the history of the Crusades. Latin sources from the Crusader states call him Vetulus de Montanis, derived from the Arabic title Shaykh al Jabal, which means "wise man or elder of the mountain". Biography[edit] His chief enemy, the Sultan Saladin (1137/1138 – 1193), ruled over Egypt and Syria from 1174 to 1193. Saladin managed twice to elude assassination attempts ordered by Rashid and as he was marching against Aleppo, Saladin devastated the Nizari possessions.
Rashid's last notable act occurred in 1191, when he ordered the assassination of the newly elected King of Jerusalem Conrad of Montferrat.
