» The Quotes of the Civilization V Debut Trailer Games of State Looking at the feedback which is appearing around the internet, it seems that people are questioning whether or not the quotes in the debut trailer for Civilization V are real. I am happy to confirm that all of them are real and listed below for your contextual pleasure, but first lets recap the trailer itself, courtesy of Machinima. In order, the quotes are: A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long supressed, finds utterance. - Jawaharlal Nehru Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India and is considered one of the greatest Indian statesman.

The military deployment of US-NATO forces is occurring in several regions of the world simultaneously. The concept of the “Long War” has characterized US military doctrine since the end of World War II. In September 1990, some five weeks after Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invaded Kuwait, US President and Commander in Chief George Herbert Walker Bush delivered a historical address to a joint session of the US Congress and the Senate in which he proclaimed a New World Order emerging from the rubble of the Berlin Wall and the demise of the Soviet Union. Global Warfare We are dealing with a global military agenda, namely “Global Warfare”.
Happy Earth - Adventures in Urban Sustainability Citizen Psychopaths Lethal and in need of restraints. Boys' Club... You know they're gonna kill us It's the Boys' Club -- Parachute Club National governments have been back in the news over the past two years because of the financial crisis and the havoc it wreaked on the global economy. Yet there is a disturbing silence about the role of corporations in the world as if these private institutions are somehow immutable -- created by the heavens and something we have to live with, like the weather. Beginning late in the last century, corporations established themselves in law as "natural persons," a brilliant maneuver that gave these huge, globe-straddling giants the same rights as individual citizens. They didn't arrive on the planet like this. Natural selection But if the newest crop of CEOs contains a goodly number of psychopaths, the organizations they lead were already and remain constitutionally sociopathic. Of course, corporations are supposed to obey the laws in these areas. Killing machines
Permaculture Principles » 25 Signs That A Horrific Global Water Crisis Is Coming Alex Jones Economic Collapse Blog Saturday, September 17, 2011 Every single day, we are getting closer to a horrific global water crisis. This world was blessed with an awesome amount of fresh water, but because of our foolishness it is rapidly disappearing. Rivers, lakes and major underground aquifers all over the globe are drying up, and many of the fresh water sources that we still have available are so incredibly polluted that we simply cannot use them anymore. Just imagine what would happen if the water got cut off in your house and you were not able to go out and buy any. Every single year, most of the major deserts around the world are getting bigger and the amount of usable agricultural land in most areas is becoming smaller. If dramatic changes are not made soon, in the years ahead water shortages are going to force large groups of people to move to new areas. And yes, it will even happen in the United States too. That following are 25 signs that a horrific global water crisis is coming.
Permaculture shows us the path to a backyard revolution (NaturalNews) People nowadays are feeling like their lives are spinning out of control. They worry about being able to provide the necessities for their families as food and fuel prices soar and out of control inflation looms on the horizon. Many are almost totally disconnected from nature and that which sustains them. There is a rapidly growing and revolutionary worldwide movement of citizens taking steps that lead them out of dependence on the system and to a life of healthy re-connection and nourishment. This is the permaculture movement. There are many definitions for the holistic design system known as permaculture and the word itself derives from the combinations of permanent culture and permanent agriculture. The provision of food, shelter, water, energy and waste management are contained within permaculture design. Permaculture is the first design system in history to be based upon ethics.
Dishonoring Pat Tillman Dishonoring Pat Tillman Posted on Nov 11, 2010 By Narda Zacchino Veterans were honored all across America Thursday, while the most famous veteran of our ongoing wars continues to be dishonored. The case of Pat Tillman, whose death by friendly fire led to seven investigations, two books, two congressional hearings and a recently released documentary film, continues to vex, six years after he was killed at dusk on the unwelcoming rocky terrain of Spera, Afghanistan. Tillman’s family and friends are no closer to learning the full truth about what happened in Pat’s death and its aftermath; they know only that he was killed by “friendly fire” (terribly unsuitable words for a horribly unfriendly act) and that there was a coverup of the circumstances of his death that reached the highest levels of the military and the Bush administration. This remains an ugly mess of a tale in which deceit is king, and the so-called military code of honor has become a farce. Who gave the order for the coverup?
Construction Materials Construction Materials A sustainable home must make use of local (indigenous) materials, those occurring 'naturally' in the local area. The Nature of the Materials In keeping with the design and performance requirements of a Earthship Biotecture, the nature of the building matierials for an Earthship must have certain characteristics established. These characteristics must align with, rather than deteriorate, the environment of the planet. The requirements and characteristics below describe the nature of the ideal 'building block' for constructing the ideal building for residential and commercial applications. Indigenous: Materials are found all over the planet. Able to be fashioned with little or no energy: If a building material was found that was indigenous to many parts of the planet but it required massive amounts of energy to fashion into a usable form, then it would not be sustainable and not considered. Thermal Mass : Durability: We have built out of wood for centuries. Resilient:
