Globalization is a fact. Question is how. A number of years ago there was this naive theories that everything was going to be nice and neat and that we will all be equals and happy ever after.\n\nNow we know that those visions were naive and to make globalization better then we should work a lot. First of all, controlling the speed of globalization to give people time to adapt themselves should help.\n\nYou can't ask iraqies to became westerners in one week, or ask chinese to abolish any censorship in three days and embrace the internet as it is, and you can't ask americans to happily deal with the fact that jobs exportation and immigrations are reducing their average real income every year.\n\nWe people are not good dealing with differences. We need time to adjust, and then... well... new problems will emerge.

I have that book too,and I think it was written in the 70s.It sounded far fetched when I read it about 5 years ago but it does seem real now.

who did it? well it wasnt the butler in the hallway wilh a candlestick. how many different arab leaders are there in U.A.E.?i wouldnt know.however, it had to be a terrorist group of the arab world. look at the names listed they were all arabic.as for the official story, what we read and saw on the tube was as official as it gets.information concerning this tragic day possibly was edited just to be on the safe side. what i mean is that the story probably had more to it than what was said ,but with the turmoil in the world today, the increasing price of oil and fingers pointed at everyone, why say anything to start trouble? personally i dont think our country is the most advanced in defense or technology.our computers are made up of japans experts and as far as i know our defense systems are made with the same technology. i think there a a few small nations in the world that have come a long way as we have but secrets must be kept.hopefully im wrong but,i have read and surfed the web,i had found many items of interest that are questionable.im not a trouble maker and i think any information gotten will be sufficient enough to sustain my curiosity. i served during vietnam and i enlisted and would do it again. this country is my home and i was proud to serve.

Here are lots of things that happened.  I don't think they are called current events when they happened thirty years ago though!

I don't understand the 'what if' part... this country has been run by transnationals for a long time.

Could this be it? It was written on the right date and has the words "shortage" and "oil" in the title.\nhttp://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/apr2003/nf2003041_2516_db053.htm\nHope I've helped.

Bravo!  I commend you for opening your eyes to the situation.  Prisonplanet should provide you with excellent links to great websites regarding building 7.  I also suggest watching "Loose change".  You can view it for FREE on Google video.

I just asked a question about the Montauk Project myself.I read the books.They seem to be very technically correct about a lot of the  things they talk about.So who-ever wrote them wasn't an idiot or a nut making up a story. I believe that the things spoken of in the stories are more than likely possible.Whether or not they actually happened as it is written,or if we really do possess this secret technoIogy, I don't know.In a way though,I kind of hope it isn't completely true,because the story of these projects are filled with abuse and inhuman treatment of human beings in the name of scientific developement and whatever else.

Now that is something!?! Read Orson Wells's "1984" to see what happens when you start removing words from the language.... It is not the word that is to blame. It is greedy and senseless people that need to be strangled at birth if we could only know.

I read that book last year. The king and the duke were scam artists. They met up with Huck and Jim somewhere along the way on his trip. They weren't really a king and a duke. They just pretended to be.

Tough to believe I agree. I just spent the last couple hours surfing for other information and opinions. I find the time travel theory plausible. My first question was if his mission was to go to 1975, what is he doing posting in 2000-1? The personal request from his grandfather strikes me as checking on a change to the timeline. So true or false? I am leaning towards true, but if he changed this timeline then future as he describes it is moot. Check out the site below, I found it interesting.

Very screwed.  Oil will only go up as we approach (or have already suprassed) the peak oil supply.  At some point, there won't be enough oil to power machinery, to use as pesticide or to make the materials for a modern life. The deficit is insane (thank you Republicans) and will not be gone until another 20 years, if we are lucky.  Our Social Sercurity and all safety nets will be destroyed by the free-marketeers who have enough money so they'll be fine. The government along with the loyal and enthusiastic help of conservatives and spinless liberals is turning us into a police state so get ready for camps. China owns us through Treasury Bonds though that won't stop the U.S. from nuking it in a couple of years. The world will eventually stop putting up with our sh*t and then trade goes down. Basically, we're all f***ed so move out.  I hear Western Europe is nice.

Big Nooooooo.  He was, not any more.  Check his stock's performance VS. the indices in the last 3 years.  This stock has been spanked by the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and the NASDAQ Composite each and every year for the last 3.\n\nYear           2003       2004        2005   $ 100,000.00\nBRB.B         16.18%      4.29%      0.00%   $ 121,164.12\nNASDAQ        50.01%      8.56%      1.37%   $ 165,081.90\nRussell 2000  45.37%     16.95%      3.32%   $ 175,654.54\nS&P 500       26.38%      8.97%      3.00%   $ 141,847.76\nWhich account would you rather not have, assuming investing $ 100K since beginning of 2003 until the end of 2005?
