INFORMAVOREs SUNDAY NO. 447

Dear readers,

It is my pleasure to offer you the 10th information newsletter in a new form- lots of interesting things here.
Nothing about the Japan tragedy- its nuclear aspect, the best source for that, in my opinion is Steve Krivit's
New Energy Times- fast, objective, based on facts.
My blog is not dedicated to politics, however I am worried and confused about what happens just now
Lybia. Lybia was a tyranny for many years and tyranny has some very strange effects as shown ithis poem
of Illyes Gyula: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTNtC5jiSuE- the lybians belong to tyranny. Human nature is strange, many victims love their oppressors. Tyranny is internalized by the oppressed, dictators are skilled in implanting memes in their victims' brains
