In January 2010, I barely followed the scientific and popular discussions around the world concerning whether the Apophis Asteroid will hit the earth--either in 2029 or 2036.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010Well, let's put up some NGO's for office against the Great Corporations of the World? I just saw the video clip of a Maryland corporation running for Congress.

Friday, January 22, 2010Dostoyevsky and the Rhine Society in and around Wiesbaden circa 1865 In literary circles, it has been well-noted that in despair, very lonely, and already in trouble for gambling too much, Fyodor Dostoyevsky fled his many debts in Russia and came to Wiesbaden around 1865.

While the USA is well aware of a major BLACKWATERGATE scandal worldwide in January 2010, in which Blackwater and it's newly named shadow firm has been involved in crises and crimes in Germany, Iraq, and Afghanistan in recent years, the overall silence of German popular media to a USA sponsored assassination ring operating within its borders is astounding.
