The cover of Time magazine labeled the 2000s “the decade from hell.” Bookended by 9/11 at the start and a financial wipeout at the end, the first 10 years of this century will very likely go down as the most dispiriting and disillusioning decade Americans have lived through in the post–World War II era,” Andrew Serwer wrote.1 The decade was littered with recessions, stock market crashes, financial scandals, antitrust cases, and flat-out disasters all around. But the 2000s were also a decade of tremendous change for the IT industry, with disruptive technologies, market-altering mergers, and trailblazing products that transformed the economic landscape forever and drastically changed the way we live. From the Y2K bug and the HP-Compaq merger, to Apple’s rebound and an insider trading scandal, the decade saw a wealth of historic events.

Provocateur Cops Caught Disguised As Anarchists At G20
Shocking video has emerged of cops posing as anarchist protesters at the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh, in yet another example of authorities attempting to provoke chaos at global summits in order to justify a brutal police crackdown. Footage from Saturday night shows three burly older men who look completely out of place with black bandanas over their face walking alongside young protesters during a march against police brutality in a You Tube clip entitled “G20 Epic Undercover Police Fail”. The clip would be hilarious if it was not ...
2009 Video Music Awards
The 2009 VMAs was probably the most blatant occult mega-ritual ever. It featured Madonna (the grand priestess of the industry) giving a bizarre speech, Jack Black telling the audience to pray to Satan, Lady Gaga playing the role of a blood sacrifice, and P!nk re-enacting a Masonic initiation. More famously, it featured Kanye West “humiliating” a wide-eyed Taylor Swift who was wearing a virginal white dress. She then re-emerged wearing a blood red dress – confirming her initiation into the industry. In a way, the 2009 VMAs kicked off ...
Rep. Joe Wilson Yelled Out ‘You Lie’ To Obama During a Presidential Address to Congress.
On the night of September 9, 2009, a still highly popular President Barack Obama spoke spiritedly to a joint session of Congress. He had summoned the members of both parties to introduce his plan to transform American health care. The promises he made that night were many and, to most in the television audience, at least, sounded fresh. “Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have,” said the president. “Let me repeat this: nothing in our plan ...
U.N. Report Advocates Teaching Masturbation to 5-Year-Olds
The United Nations is recommending that children as young as five receive mandatory sexual education that would teach even pre-kindergarteners about masturbation and topics like gender violence. The U.N.'s Economic, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a 98-page report in June offering a universal lesson plan for kids ranging in age from 5-18, an "informed approach to effective sex, relationships" and HIV education that they say is essential for "all young people." The U.N. insists the program is "age appropriate," but critics say it's exposing kids to sex ...
Study: Aluminum in Vaccines can Cause Neuron Death plus Motor and Memory Deficits Similar to Gulf War Syndrome.
Abstract Gulf War Syndrome is a multi-system disorder afflicting many veterans of Western armies in the 1990-1991 Gulf War. A number of those afflicted may show neurological deficits including various cognitive dysfunctions and motor neuron disease, the latter expression virtually indistinguishable from classical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) except for the age of onset. This ALS "cluster" represents the second such ALS cluster described in the literature to date. Possible causes of GWS include several of the adjuvants in the anthrax vaccine and others. The most likely culprit appears ...

The former employee also alleges that Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the ...
Swedish Researchers Find Fossils From Animals And Plants Are Not Necessary For Crude Oil And Natural Gas
Abstract There is widespread evidence that petroleum originates from biological processes1,2,3. Whether hydrocarbons can also be produced from abiogenic precursor molecules under the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions characteristic of the upper mantle remains an open question. It has been proposed that hydrocarbons generated in the upper mantle could be transported through deep faults to shallower regions in the Earth’s crust, and contribute to petroleum reserves4,5. Here we use in situ Raman spectroscopy in laser-heated diamond anvil cells to monitor the chemical reactivity of methane and ethane under upper-mantle conditions ...
