: :Barack Obama is a deeply troubled personality, the megalomaniac front man for a postmodern coup by the intelligence agencies, using fake polls, mobs of swarming adolescents, super-rich contributors, and orchestrated media hysteria to short-circuit normal politics and seize power. Obama comes from the orbit of the Ford Foundation, and has never won public office in a contested election. His guru and controller is Zbigniew Brzezinski, the deranged revanchist and Russia-hater who dominated the catastrophic Carter presidency 30 years ago. All indications are that Brzezinski recruited Obama at Columbia University a quarter century ago. Trilateral Commission co-founder Brzezinski wants a global showdown with Russia and China far more dangerous for the ... |

Ascendancies: The Best of Bruce Sterling»rank: 727380by: Bruce Sterling
: :'I'm an entertainer in the military-entertainment complex.' -- Bruce Sterling Polemicist, provocateur, futurist, 'visionary in residence', Bruce Sterling has been out there, personally sharpening the cutting edge of science fiction for more than thirty years. From his first story 'Man-Made Self' in 1976 to his latest 'Kiosk' in 2007, Sterling has written science fiction that is fast-moving, sharply extrapolated, technologically literate, and as brilliant and coherent as a laser, as he himself once said of William Gibson. His 'Shaper/Mechanist' stories were an essential part of the cyberpunk movement of the '80s, just as his 'Leggy Starlitz' and 'Chattanooga' stories wrangled the near future of the '90s better than anyone else. ... |

Kaon Physics»rank: 1028645from: University Of Chicago Press

Kaon Physics at the Turn of the Millennium presents cutting-edge papers by leading theorists and experimentalists that synthesize the current state of the field and suggest promising new directions for the ... |
