“GWEN is a superb system, in combination with cyclotron resonance, for producing behavioural alterations in the civilian population. The average strength of the steady geomagnetic field varies from place to place across the United States. Therefore, if one wished to resonate a specific ion in living things in a specific locality, one would require a specific frequency for that location. The spacing of GWEN transmitters 200 miles apart across the United States would allow such specific frequencies to be 'tailored' to the geomagnetic-field strength in each GWEN area.” IfsStatesUnitedUnited StatesFieldsAreasAveragePopulationMilesCombinationSteadyLocationLiving ThingsCiviliansFrequencyVaryResonanceSuperbAlterationsTailoredLocalityIonsSpacingMiles Apart Author:Robert O.

“If new species arise very rapidly in small, peripherally isolated local populations, then the great expectation of insensibly graded fossil sequences is a chimera.

“There's no question at all that the population explosion will come to an end.

“As far as population size goes, big is no longer important, and it can even be a drawback. In fact, the future belongs more to second-tier cities.

“We should not be living in human communities that enclose tiny preserved ecosystems within them. Human communities should be maintained in small population enclaves within linked wilderness ecosystems.

“Not all introductions worked well. Rabbits were an unmitigated environmental disaster. Unchecked by any natural predator, they bred at a staggering rate and chewed their way across vast areas of pastureland as well as any garden that came their way. Attempts to control them by introducing ferrets, weasels and stoats did much more harm than good. Although these predators probably killed a reasonable number of rabbits, they also devastated populations of kiwi and raided the nests of flighted birds.” WayWellsNaturalNumbersBirdAreasGardenEnvironmentalRatePopulationHarmDisasterReasonableIntroducingRabbitsIntroductionNestsPredatorDevastatedStaggeringWeaselsFerretsKiwi Author:Bee Dawson

The UN is now saying they are sending reinforcements in the area, but I have no particular reason to believe that they will be any stronger than the force there.

That didn't happen. The Taliban had become deeply unpopular and were actually discarded by the Pashtun population almost as quickly as they were in the north.
