...and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
set you free...

knowledge is NOT power, it is empowerment. information is power, the power to make informed decisions, or just maybe to make your life a little easier. our world is data. there are things out there that have happened, will happen, and are happening - and lots of interference obscuring the view. investigation is the art of applied research, and opens a window as to the Truth.

note that there is a signifigant overlap between this directory and the technical directory, so be sure to check them both out. someday we will get around to having these searches cgi'd off this site...patience, grasshopper.

"Information does not just want to be free, it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin; information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and understands less than Rumor." from A Cypherpunk's Manifesto, by Eric Hughes
