January 23, 2008: According to the
Dictionary of Gnosis & Western Esotericism, 2005, p. 1049: "Because
of the nature of its worldview, Scientology can be seen as belonging within
the domain of Western esotericism" (the latter topic I covered in a
seminar in 2001 see update here:)

Why some people believe the Large Hadron Collider cause the end of the world. Sept. 6, 2008:
Today Turkey's President Abdullah Gul has made a
landmark visit to Armenia. Due to Turkey’s denial of an Armenian
genocide, normally such contact would take place. In fact it is only
recently that also Germany’s historical role in the Armenian drama is emerging. And
one reason why Germany was so complacent in the matter might have been
because Wilhelm II hatched a plan where Turkey would be colonized by Germans.

Study: Sept. 8, 2008:

whether a wine was fraudulent or not-- when even definitions of what “wine”
was were not clear. Hence we researched: The Secret Wine Report. Sept. 19, 2008: While a recent book "Alexander Dugin and Extreme Right Networks" claimed

Oct. 4, 2008: Three recent books
“Healing, Hype, or Harm?: A Critical Analysis of
Complementary or Alternative Medicine”, “Suckers: How Alternative Medicine
Makes Fools of Us All" and “Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts
about Alternative Medicine” do not only critique alternative medicine, but
tells us also a lot about its history. We investigated further: Alternative
Medicine in Context. Oct. 5, 2008: But while regulations in regard to alternative therapies are now being considered, it might be time to do the same with mainstream medicine today. For example when do new treatments stop being experimental? We all have a tendency to think that "newer is better" and "more is better" when it comes to medical care. We want to believe the marketing and media hype that describes many modest scientific steps as "lifesaving new technology." Case Study: Medical Advancements to the Test.

that Turkey and Armenia are preparing to sign a historic agreement

Brief History of the Jerusalem Problem: 10 April, 2010: While it will have little effect on the permission for the US to
have a transit bases there, it is clear from the April 7 revolution in

China might be concerned, plus Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan,
Georgia, Azerbaijan, The Baltic States. Continue: 23 April, 2010: Eurozone’s
