^ Only because you haven’t noticed the out-dated/abandoned articles on Wikipedia yet. The forum may be dynamic, but some of the information is still stale.
“The best of times, the worst of times…” Even tho’ there is much GIGO to deal with as fallout from the information explosion, we can still surf the tsunami of enlightened minds resulting from the flood of free and unedited communication!
Many of our military aircraft are carrying, and using, EMP devices, they ARE “weaponized”. The sad part is so many Americans see any accurate information, and research to confirm accuracy, as anathema. When a “radio nut” can condense all human knowledge for you in three hours a day, he’s always right, right?
Too many “EMP” their brains. Books “feel right”, but it is possible to go WAY beyond "wikipedia’ to use the “electronic card catalogue”.
Speaking of available information and “taxpayers” and “tax money”:
ONshore federal oil production ’09-105 million barrels, 10= 108 mb. ’11= 12 mb. Offshore: ’08 = 462 mb, ’09=527 mb, ’10= 618 mb, ’11= 514 mb, can anyone say “BP is good for you”? (please note that even AFTER BP, offshore was higher under Obama, than under Bush leasing.)Natural gas from federal has been static to down, but on private, going up, so no need to increase federal.
The claim Obama is the “problem” and not the companies is totally bogus. Interesting also how hard it is to track down how many barrels of offshore oil are produced and pay ZERO royalties. The same Republicans in the House Resources Committee turning it totally “political” to attack Obama, do NOT want you to know how much they’ve been giving away, for decades! About those “tax breaks” and “subsidies” oil companies want MORE of!!
Indian Land production went from 10 million barrels in ’08 to 19 million barrels in ’11. So much for “cuts”?
Get rid of the 1872 Mining Act, charge “competitive” lease royalties on federal lands, and our debt, deficit, and “tax” problems would be well on the way to solved.
“Thank you, Barack H. Obama, for bailing out Apple, Google, Ebay and other imaginative companies with $4 trillion taxpayer money.”Do you have any verifiable data to back up your claim? Or is it just more republican lies?
He’s right. The present day Internet came into existence as ARPANET when military and industrial entities wanted a way to share information quickly and securely. It evolved into the present day iteration as a result of other (initially unauthorized) uses of the network. You could look it up in Britannica… or on Wikipedia.

Shame – prefer a book when it comes to relaxing (screens mess up your eyes over time), but it does help on trees ofc.
