World War III may have already begun: U.S. empire vs. Russia, China and North Korea (NaturalNews) Military historians have said that the world stumbled into World War I, while it ran headlong into World War II. How will World War III begin? It may have started already. A few geopolitical observers think World War III began when the United States and much of the West launched military campaigns against militant Islam. Both President Bush and President Obama have warned the American people that the fight against radical Islam would take years to prosecute. But what of the great powers ostensibly aligned against the West -- Russia, China and, as Sony Pictures Entertainment saw in recent days, North Korea?

Iran attack on secret US agenda' - CometBird 'Iran attack on secret US agenda' Behind-the-scene efforts by the US indicate that Washington believes that the so-called threat of a nuclear Iran will only be eliminated through a war, a political expert tells Press TV. "Clearly, sanctions are currently the only available tool in the hands of Washington but behind-the-scene efforts are being made to prove that sanctions cannot mollify the threat in the long run and that the threat of the so-called nuclear Iran will only be eliminated through a war thus justified thanks to the sinister powers long at work," Middle East expert Ismail Salami wrote in an article in Press TV. He further explained that the White House has created an atmosphere that Iran is a global threat even without nuclear arms program. To Western countries, "Iran is essentially seen as a threat with or without a nuclear weapons program as they have been mainstreamed into this ill manner of thinking," Salami said.
6 Insane Discoveries That Science Can't Explain We like to feel superior to the people who lived centuries ago, what with their shitty mud huts and curing colds by drilling a hole in their skulls. But we have to give them credit: They left behind some artifacts that have left the smartest of modern scientists scratching their heads. For instance, you have the following enigmas that we believe were created for no other purpose than to fuck with future generations. US changes nuclear strategy to first strike: Analyst A US-made nuclear weapon (file photo) The United States has changed its military doctrine in favor of using nuclear weapons for preemptive purposes, an analyst writes for Press TV. “US war doctrine has been changed.

The analyst’s article comes against the backdrop of ongoing tensions between Russia and the US over Ukraine. Washington has long accused Moscow of interfering in Ukraine by providing arms and support to pro-Russian protesters in the East European country.
Interrogating Texts: 6 Reading Habits to Develop in Your First Year at Harvard - Research Guides Critical reading—active engagement and interaction with texts—is essential to your academic success at Harvard, and to your intellectual growth. Research has shown that students who read deliberately retain more information and retain it longer. Your college reading assignments will probably be more substantial and more sophisticated than those you are used to from high school. The amount of reading will almost certainly be greater. College students rarely have the luxury of successive re-readings of material, either, given the pace of life in and out of the classroom.
Poverty in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - CometBird In November 2012 the U.S. Census Bureau said more than 16% of the population lived in poverty, including almost 20% of American children,[7] up from 14.3% (approximately 43.6 million) in 2009 and to its highest level since 1993. In 2008, 13.2% (39.8 million) Americans lived in poverty.[8] Starting in the 1980s, relative poverty rates have consistently exceeded those of other wealthy nations.[9] California has a poverty rate of 23.5%, the highest of any state in the country.[10] In 2009 the number of people who were in poverty was approaching 1960s levels that led to the national War on Poverty.[11] In 2011 extreme poverty in the United States, meaning households living on less than $2 per day before government benefits, was double 1996 levels at 1.5 million households, including 2.8 million children.[12] This would be roughly 1.2% of the US population in 2011, presuming a mean household size of 2.55 people.
