Federal funding does not always directly address their needs, and their location in AmericaŐs cities mean that part of the safety net available to Native children and families living on reservations or tribal territories are un-available to them. |

February 23, 2008 4:00 pm Thunderbolts: the Tutorial (now on DVD). There are no ‘Black Holes’, there is no ‘dark matter’, comets are not ‘dirty snowballs’, the sun is not a ‘nuclear furnace’, and the origins of world mythology are not primitive invention but can be directly linked to deep space exploration and leading-edge experiments in plasma physics. The Thunderbolts theory challenges our fundamental assumptions about the workings of the universe, and then offers an alternative vision. Born of empirical science, this vision is startling in its common sense simplicity, and stunning in its reach and ability to make comprehensible both age-old and modern day mysteries. |
