Our world, our old world that we have inhabited for the last 12,000 years, has ended, even if no newspaper in North America or Europe has yet printed its scientific obituary

www.countercurrents.org/kishner260608.htm

To a few individuals in the civilian and defense communities, Divine Strake was more than just an exercise to determine the lowest nuclear calibration needed to destroy a hardened underground bunker in limestone geology. The ‘other’ purpose of Divine Strake, one that I personally never had much belief in, was to conduct a ‘dry run’ on an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Such an event would have disastrous radiological consequences not just for Iran, but also Pakistan, China, and other nations in that entire region

Between 2001 and 2006 when India’s economy grew by almost 50%, the child nutrition rate (a number that measures the percentage of children under three who are moderately or severely underweight) dropped by just a single point, to 46%. Almost 25% of women who give birth do not receive proper antenatal care. These shameful figures are from the National Family Health Survey
