Now with verified video of UFOs from military sources, it's time to explore the truth and why the ruling factions have been deceiving us since the early '40s, even before Roswell.

Die Audio-Dokumentation mit bislang ungehörten O-Tönen der jungen Christiane F. (15): "Auf der einen Seite wusste ich, dass irgendwann einmal ein Wendepunkt in meinem Leben kommen wird. Das heißt aber auch, dass ich eben vielleicht noch ein paar Mal auf die Schnauze fliegen muss bevor es soweit kommt."

[Contains explicit content] In this 2005 show, Susie's guest is Andi Zeisler, co-founder and editorial director of Bitch, a quarterly magazine dedicated to the "Feminist Response to Pop Culture".

The news media is filled with reports of mass shootings, child molestation, road rage, vandalism, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. We instinctively assume that men are the likely perpetrators, and in the vast majority of cases, they are. The incidence of war, rape, crime, torture, genocide, and terrorism are mostly at the hands of men.

IRL, Chris Stedman's personal and searing exploration of authenticity in the digital age, shines a light on how age-old notions of realness - who we are and where we fit in the world - can be freshly understood in our increasingly online lives. Stedman offers a different way of seeing the supposed split between our online and offline selves: the internet and social media are new tools for understanding and expressing ourselves, and the not-always-graceful ways we use these tools can reveal new insights into far older human behaviors and desires.

Taking the provocative first step toward understanding the nature of heroes, this book explains what heroes are and why mankind needs them.

The rise of the truly "toxic" fan in community circles has come. The Fandom Menace is the push-back to that toxicity.
