One Quarter of a Million Preventable Water Main Breaks Kill Us and Will Cost $1 Trillion in the Next 25 Years (3 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Robert A. Leishear, PhD, PE, ASME Fellow)
       Figure 1: E. coli infections kill 73,000 people in the US every year.       'Water Main Breaks Can Be Stopped - Period!       Every American city suffers from preventable water main   breaks. Every year, 250,000 US water main breaks cost taxpayers $60 billion. To   this day, water main breaks are responsible for E. coli and Listeria infections   along with copper and lead contaminations.    We are misinformed that water main breaks are caused by   cold weather, road traffic, or oldness. Southern cities claim that cold weather   breaks their pipes, where pipes are buried feet underground, and frost lines are   only a few inches deep. Forces from road traffic are woefully inadequate to   break pipes. Oldness does not break anything - otherwise - New York skyscrapers   would collapse.    We have been provided such nonsensical causes for water   main breaks for a century. The time has come to apply science rather than   fiction to stop our water main breaks.    To this end, I proved and published that a phenomenon   called water hammer breaks water mains. When valves, fire hydrants, and water   pumps are operated, repeated high pressure water hammers crack water mains.   Geysers then rip upwards through our roadways, or leaks scour out dirt under   roads to cause road collapses.    Simplified recommendations are available. See 'Water-Main Breaks in Mississippi and Across [the] U.S. Can Be Stopped'   (https://www.mississippifreepress.org/30418/water-main-breaks-in-mississippi-and-across-u-s-can-be-stopped).'  

Govt. Report on ways to perpetuate itself in power and control citizens and prevent them from rebelling (3 articles.) (# of views) (Created by )
   It was stated at the beginning of   the report that morality was not an issue. The study did not address questions of right or wrong; nor did it deal with such concepts as   freedom or human rights. Ideology was not an issue, nor patriotism, nor   religious precepts. Its sole concern was how to perpetuate the existing   government. The report said:       Previous studies have taken the desirability of peace, the    importance of human life, the superiority   of democratic institutions, the   greatest 'good' for the greatest number, the 'dignity' of   the individual, the desirability of   maximum health and longevity, and other   such wishful premises as axiomatic values necessary for the justification of a study of peace issues. We have   not found them so. We have attempted   to apply the standards of physical science to our thinking, the principal characteristic of which is   not quantification, as is popularly   believed, but that, in Whitehead's words, '... it ignores all judgments of value; for instance, all esthetic   and moral judgments.'   5 articles dealing with new definition of peace, sophisticated forms of slavery, creating a creditable global threat, using environmental pollution model model, report authenticity, enviromentalism as substitute  for war, humanity itself as the target, Gorbachev as ecological warrior, U.S. as ecological Aggressor, creating economic crisis, and such other means as would serve the purposes of perpetuation of control

A Confederacy of Hegemons: The Project for the New American Caliphate (3 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Greg Maybury)
With   the empire du jour embarking on further 'Groundhog Day' military adventures, in   this sweeping three part essay on the post-9/11 geopolitical milieu, Greg Maybury reflects   on how America arrived at this point, what insights might be gained by looking   back in time, and ponders what might have been and what could be.                                                                      Oh,   and who the real enemy might be after all. Depending on your viewpoint, a brave   and/or foolish undertaking. But, he argues, around 50 years after the fall of Saigon, 25 years after the Fall of the Wall signalling the end of the Cold War, and 100 years after the opening salvos of   the Great War to End all Wars (at   least until the next one arrived), Uncle Sam needs all the help he can   get.   

Our Collective Predicament (3 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Blair Gelbond)
  A shift in inner values and an expanded consciousness is needed for positive external social change. How this shift can occur remains to be seen, but will need to occur on multiple levels at once. Fortunately, this change is already underway. However, given the stakes and the initial collapse of many systems,it also must occur as soon as possible. This can be seen as an initiation for our entire species into the next level of maturity.

Climate's Deadliest HIDDEN Enemy: The Clinton Political Machine (2 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Patrick Walker)
  The   series covers perhaps the most important news story of our day--one completely taboo in mainstream media. It explains how Hillary Clinton's political machine, if unchecked by   climate-activist revolt, will undemocratically crush Bernie Sanders'   presidential chances and will foist on us a candidate, Hillary Clinton,   provably inadequate by policies and character, to address our planet's climate   emergency. Part 1 is titled 'Sanders Correctly Rattles Sabers--at the Climate   Change Enemy'; Part 2, 'Clinton's Updated Tammany Hall: Destroying Democracy   AND Climate Too'; and Part 3, 'Wake Up Zombie, Kick Up a Big Stink.' The first   two parts establish the case for revolt against the Clinton machine urgently pleaded for in Part 3--the call-to-arms finale of the series.
