We hear on the news and in the major media practically every day about global warming. Well I can't say that I believe in it one way or the other. However GE feels they have found something that they they can put themselves behind. For profit of course.
As you know GE is a major conglomerate corporation owning multiple companies and also NBC. Which is why a few weeks ago they had the "Green Week" on NBC.
GE produces components for all forms of energy products from wind turbines, to solar cells. However a little known fact is that they control approximately 60% of the production components that goes into building nuclear power plants.

This is a pretty good article I invite you to read it.
It kind of gives a broad overview of the steps that governments take that lead them into a dictatorship.
If you think we are living in scary times, your worst fears may be confirmed by reading Naomi Wolf's newest book, The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot. In it, Wolf proves the old axiom that history does repeat itself. Or more accurately, history occurs in patterns, and in order to understand where our country is today and where it is headed, we need to read the history books.
Wolf began by diving into the early years leading up to fascist regimes, like the ones led by Hitler and Mussolini. And the patterns that she found in those, and others all over the world, made her hair stand on end. In & ...

Things in Turkey have been growing quite a bit over the last few weeks. Raids into Iraq by the Turkish Military are stepped up seemingly every day. I've had a few questions from my friend in Turkey, as well as a few posts on the site about why would congress pass a resolution to define the killings of Armenians as genocide. Well to be honest I had not heard about it until a few weeks ago, and this happened almost 100 years ago. I still don't know what happened back then between the Turks and Armenians ...

For some time now Turkey has had increasing issues with a group called the PKK. This is a Kurdish group that is seeking an independent state for Kurds. However the territory that they are fighting over currently belongs to three nations Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. They have also been responsible for various terrorist attacks in Turkey and over the past few years they have continued to increase.
