The pentagon may be planning to bomb florida.

So here's an amerikan 'human rights' 'non government' 'organizaion' whining about 'child' marriage. Usually when an amerikan 'NGO' vomits some 'THINK OF THE CHILDREN" brain-dead slogan about some 'third world' country xxxxxx, you can be sure that xxxxxx is going to be 'liberated' and razed to the ground. But now the propaganda vomit says : "End Child Marriage In....Florida" https://www.hrw.org/EndChildMarriage "Did you know children can legally marry in Florida?" no they can't? " From 2001 to 2015, over 16,000 children under the age of 18 " Wow. Just wow. According to these sick motherfuckers, young persons younger than 18 are 'children'. Fully developed humans aged 17 and 364 days are 'children' - Now that's real american jew-christian science. But it gets a lot better : Anything involveing FUCKING ADULTS who are not yet 18 is 'child pornography' BUT, get this, the minimum age for joining the US military is 17. So any sort of 'sexual' consensual activity with anybody under 18 is 'child abuse' and 'rape' BUT those same 'children' can join the US nazi military and murder real children for fun. Isn't jew-kristian american civilization the most perfect civilization in the universe or what;

Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II

CODE GIRLS The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II By Liza Mundy https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/06/books/review/liza-mundy-code-girls-world… Describes the experiences of several thousand American women who spent the war years in Washington, untangling the clandestine messages sent by the Japanese and German militaries and diplomatic corps. At a time when even well-educated women were not encouraged to have careers much less compete with men to demonstrate their mastery of arcane, technical skills this hiring frenzy represented a dramatic shift. The same social experiment was simultaneously unfolding on the other side of the Atlantic. The British debutantes and their middle-class peers recruited to work at the secret Bletchley Park code-breaking operation came to outnumber the men. Mundys narrative turns thrilling as she chronicles the eureka moments when the women succeed in cracking codes, relying on a mixture of mathematical expertise, memorization and occasional leaps of intuition. ... At the end of the war, virtually all of the female code breakers were given their walking papers and returned to civilian life. Only a few superstars were asked to stay on (among them Ann Caracristi, who went on to become the first female deputy director of the National Security Agency). For these accomplished and resourceful women, who had been given a heady taste of professional success, it was jarring to have to fight to be accepted to top graduate programs on the G.I. Bill or embark on traditional paths as wives and mothers. Warned not to reveal their secret wartime lives, many remained silent about their valuable service. Thanks to Mundys book, which deftly conveys both the puzzle-solving complexities and the emotion and drama of this era, their stories will live on.

Many of these folks have started to see how Nexus and blockchain technology can benefit them, their industries, and humankind. The blockchain is rapidly becoming a new shift in technological advancement that is paving the way of the future and also providing real world solutions to economic uncertainty that the world is facing. Several of the industries actively working with Nexus to create real-world solutions using blockchain include insurance, real-estate, politics, music, finance, media, entertainment, and many more. In attendance were medical cannabis advocates, people seeking to find solutions to India’s currency dilemma, individuals working to understand the future of cryptocurrency and finance, and many that have been working to change the world their entire lives. They finally had a chance to speak with others of the same mindset and to start to look at how we all can provide solutions to the challenges we face now and will face in the future. Never before has such a diverse group of individuals come together in one place to make such an impact on humanity through sharing of their wisdom and ideas. http://www.nexusearth.com/ Nexus seeks to Free humankind from centralized systems. Merely being decentralized is not enough. We must decentralize the decentralization. Using software and hardware, Nexus seeks to build the foundation for the most decentralized system to ever be developed: Nexus Earth. This network will empower everyone from the first world to the third world. Not everyone has money, but everyone has time. The time has come to decentralize everything. The foundations of cryptocurrency should be built upon decentralized principles. Nexus seeks to fulfill this mission.

Public Money, Public Code.

Public Money, Public Code. # https://publiccode.eu Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as Free Software? We want legislation requiring that publicly financed software developed for the public sector be made publicly available under a Free and Open Source Software license. If it is public money, it should be public code as well. Code paid by the people should be available to the people! ------- "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life.
