Both the US and Russia have developed capabilities to manipulate the climate for military use Peak Oil And Dunbar’s Number – By Peter Goodchild Within modern capitalism there is no solution to the problem of oil depletion. Oil energy cannot be replaced with the equivalent amount of "alternative" energy in the required time, so the consequences of oil depletion will be disastrous. Those disastrous consequences are beyond the range of the normal or acceptable issues of political debate. No political contender can win votes by saying that the world is coming to an end.

Top Ten Signs Your Country May Be Going Fascist Ron Paul Speaks On The Problems With The U.S. – Pakistan Relationship The Hidden Story of Jesus Video – Broadcast UK – Channel 4 – Dec 26, 2007 Theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates amazing parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years. The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth and visited by wise men bearing gifts. Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one. Even the Old Testament copied other stories.
