Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same.

Survival.

DID YOU KNOW:
Different People + Same Search =
NOT SAME [Order/Results] AT ALL?


No matter what category -- news, books, shopping, whatever.  Even if you are in the same room.  Even if you use the same computer.  But wait, there's scarier. Watch:
