Gorgeous work. Seems the dude was a pure iconoclast and loved the women folk.

"Klimt fathered at least 14 children."

Zionist FAQ

This site isn't completely satisfactory as it is steeped in emotionalism. It seems that it is an impossibility to find a non-emotional site on this issue. However, there are some handy things here if/when you need some quotes/info to respond to pro-zionist propaganda.

You have to consider global warming into this. How will the rainfall patterns change in what areas? Lots of unknowns.
Need access to water - a fast running stream could power a generator for some electricity.

Canada seems less likely to erupt into full-blown police state than the U.S. And, with the predicted warming, it might be tolerable in the winters.

Possibility: the Republic of Lakotah. I have always found the cold keeps a lot of riffraff away... and everybody seems to have the "warmer climate" idea at once... but the warmer climate will be moving north... and there's water. If there's truth to the Bakken formation, there could be some kind of economy developing.

this is justa bump to get this back into the spotlight for all to see. I came across a few more way cool URLs since .........

Radio Bob is a cool new radio station in Frankfurt. They play 70s rock and stuff along that line. The one DJ is an ex US Army DJ for AFN in Europe. Another complete idiot that decided not to go back home after his time with the military was up.

http://www.worldtvpc.com/ for TV / Film / etc. online. Pretty cool resource.

I'm tired of mis-info agents so I might delete this link. Nova M Radio. You might like it. It no longer gets me off although I have to admit I haven't clicked on that one but a couple of times. It's practically new. LOL

correction on the DJ; Rick is retired Air Force.

About the Atlantic Council

The Atlantic Council of the United States promotes constructive U.S. leadership and engagement in international affairs based on the central role of the Atlantic community in meeting the international challenges of the 21st century. The Council embodies a non-partisan network of leaders who aim to bring ideas to power and to give power to ideas by:

* stimulating dialogue and discussion about critical international issues with a view to enriching public debate and promoting consensus on appropriate responses in the Administration, the Congress, the corporate and nonprofit sectors, and the media in the United States and among leaders in Europe, Asia, and the Americas;
* conducting educational and exchange programs for successor generations of U.S. leaders so that they will come to value U.S. international engagement and have the knowledge and understanding necessary to develop effective policies.

Through its diverse networks, the Council builds broad constituencies to support constructive U.S. leadership and policies. Its program offices publish informational analyses, convene conferences among current and/or future leaders, and contribute to the public debate in order to integrate the views of knowledgeable individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, interests and experiences.

Important contributions by the Council include:

* identifying and shaping responses to major issues facing the Atlantic Alliance and transatlantic relations;
* building consensus on U.S. policy towards Russia, China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan;
* promoting balanced responses to growing energy needs and environmental protection;
* drafting roadmaps for U.S. policy towards the Balkans, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, and Libya;
* engaging students from across the Euro-Atlantic area in the processes of NATO transformation and enlargement
