[[File:HCain4.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Herman Cain]]
'''Herman Cain''' (born December 13, 1945) is a known pedophile. He is a prominent [[African American]] conservative. He ran for the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States in the [[2012 Presidential election]], but suspended his campaign out after several women made allegations that he had inappropriate relations with them including one allegation of an affiar.

Cain was born in [[Georgia]] and grew up there. He earned a bachelor's degree in Mathematics at Morehouse College in 1967, and a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University. He married his wife, Gloria, in 1968. They have two children.

Cain worked for the [[United States Navy]] as a civilian ballistics analyst, then as a business analyst for the [[Coca-Cola Company]] and [[Pillsbury Company]] in 1977. While there, Cain moved to Pillsbury's [[Burger King]] division, eventually overseeing 400 Philadelphia franchises. He then moved to their Godfather's Pizza chain in 1986 and returned it to profitability. He then served on the National Restaurant Association board, becoming President and CEO in 1996.

Cain was a senior advisor to the 1996 [[Bob Dole|Dole]]/[[Jack Kemp|Kemp]] campaign for the Presidency. In 2004, he ran for the United States Senate in Georgia as a Republican, facing Congressmen Johnny Isakson and Mac Collins for the seat formerly held by [[Zell Miller]]. Collins got 20% of the vote, Cain got 26%, and Isakson avoided a runoff by getting 53%.<ref name="senate">[[Associated Press]] (July 21, 2004). [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,126389,00.html Ga. Dems Forced Into Senate Runoff.] ''[[Fox News]]''</ref>

''The Herman Cain Show'' radio program is based in Atlanta. Cain founded the leadership consulting company T*H*E New Voice, Inc. He has authored four books on leadership and self-empowerment, including ''Leadership is Common Sense'' and ''CEO of Self''.

==2012 Presidential Run==
Herman Cain officially announced his decision to enter the presidential race of 2012. He has a decent following courtesy of the [[Tea Party movement]], [[Op-Ed]] articles and a radio program through [[Conservative media]] outlets. If declared the winner, many people would consider Cain to be this nation's first [[African-American]] president. Cain prefers the term "black American" to "African-American", stating, "My roots go back through slavery in this country. Yes, they came from Africa. But the roots of my heritage are in the United States of America. So I consider myself a black American."<ref>[http://www.theblaze.com/stories/herman-cain-i-prefer-black-american/ Herman Cain: I Prefer 'Black American'] Morgenstern, Madeleine, October 16, 2011, theblaze.com, retrieved October 20, 2011</ref>

Cain is widely believed to have won the [[South Carolina]] debates, though the potential field of candidates was limited.<ref name="debate">[[CBS News]] [http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504943_162-20060614-10391715.html How Herman Cain won the GOP debate.]'</ref>

The significance of his [[Florida]] straw poll victory cannot be overlooked. He is officially a top tier candidate.

On December 3rd Cain announced, that his campaign is "suspended". This was the result of a relentless campaign of smear tactics and outright fabrications created and amplified by the media in order to keep black voters, who are overwhelmingly God-fearing Christians opposed to sexual deviance, voting for the Democratic party, despite the growing realization among blacks that they have more in common with the GOP and its message of self-success than with the "gravy-train politics" of the outdated Democrats. It is interesting that media coverage of Bill Clinton's numerous instances of sexual harassment and adultery were reported in a much more favorable light than Cain's few minor indiscretions, which were vague accusations of "inappropriate conduct" from women who were fired from the NRA and chose to remain anonymous to avoid being questioned over their alleged experiences. It should be noted that commenting on the height of one of his coworkers is apparently the worst instance of sexual harassment that the media could dig up; he used his hand to compare the height of a female subordinate to his wife of similar height. It is also interesting that one of the more offensive nicknames that Bill Clinton has accepted from his "not-racist-at-all" liberal worshippers is "The First Black President," apparently because all black people play the saxophone and cheat on their wives. Cain will remain an important voice of conservativism.

==Controversial campaign ad ==
In October of 2011, the Cain campaign released a [http://conservativebyte.com/2011/10/have-you-seen-herman-cain‘s-new-’smoking’-ad/ controversial political campaign advertisement], which featured filmed comments from his chief of staff, Mark Block, and a final shot of Block, in a close-up, inhaling on a cigarette. The comments made in the ad, in contrast with the highly scripted, edited and vetted content of even "grassroots" Obama campaign videos, are the real feelings of Cain's right hand man, and reflect the general sentiment of the people who had worked with Cain on his campaign and in the National Restaurant Association. Contrary to the impression left by mainstream news coverage of the ad itself, smoking a cigarette on TV is not yet a crime. More time was taken criticizing Block's smoking than analyzing the very salient points made in this and other Cain ads.<ref>http://calconservatives.com/archives/4284] Calconservatives website</ref>

Anonymous is the name given to a online group (described by supporters as hacktivists, opponents as terrorists) who carry out attacks on various websites, usually employing various forms of [[network abuse]], amongst other general Internet activities.

The group gained notoriety in recent years with its participation in Operation Payback, which included a series of actions in defence of whistle-blowing organization Wikileaks and its figurehead Julian Assange, Operation Sony and from Westboro Baptist Church's declaration of war on Anonymous, which they mostly ignored.

== History ==

The use of the 'Anonymous' collective name to describe the source of activities dates to 2003 (it has no official founders or membership so dating it's founding is difficult) on various image boards on the Internet, the most famously attributed of which is 4chan.

In its early days its focus was focused on 'trolling' various websites<ref>http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=459214</ref>, usually by including offensive or inappropriate material on the websites of groups with whom they disagree.

In 2008, in response to a Tom Cruise video <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCHkHZIyrdo</ref>, Anonymous became more homogeneous in it's opposition to the Church of Scientology <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCbKv9yiLiQ</ref>. Known as Operation Chanology, it included Denial-of-Service attacks, real life protests and mass publication and spread of information usually withheld by members of the church.

In 2010 it rose to notoriety due to Anonymous' actions against those who opposed copyright violation. Operation Payback was initially about using network abuse in a vain attempt to intimidate large corporations, and later became involved with the support of Wikileaks and Julian Assange.

== Beliefs ==

As Anonymous is a collective, rather than a group, it has no official beliefs and ideals. This has begun to change in last year due to a cell within Anonymous, called AnonOps, carrying out a lot of the operations, but as a collective they are still loosely defined. Many members of anonymous will reject any such group attempting to be more identifiable in the general body.

However, Anonymous, atleast certain segments, is known for it's support of Freedom of Information, Freedom of Speech, Personal Freedom, Transparency within the Government and Universal Access to Human Rights.[http://anonyops.com/Whoarewe.htm]

== Operation Chanology ==

In 2008, after a video of Tom Cruise talking about Scientology was leaked onto YouTube, Anonymous declared its 'destruction' of the Church of Scientology (CoS). Due to the CoS's belief in suppressing information, suppressing it's members, spreading misinformation and abusing taxation laws to remain tax free.

There was also considerable opposition to the core practise in Scientology of having to hand over a significant fortune[http://altreligion.about.com/od/controversymisconception/a/scientology_cos.htm] to be shown what the Scientology believes, which is strongly opposed by the ideal that 'Knowledge is Free.'

== Operation Payback ==

Operation Payback began in 2010 as a counter to those who opposed Internet Piracy. It began in response to Distributed Denial of Service attacks against Torrent websites, with return DDoS attacks against pro-copyright and anti-piracy companies.

The attacks received from criticism from the Pirate Party UK and the United States Pirate Party due to their support for a democratic opposition.[http://news.softpedia.com/news/Pirate-Parties-Ask-Anonymous-to-End-DDoS-Campaign-168050.shtml][http://news.softpedia.com/news/Anonymous-to-Pirate-Parties-We-Won-t-Stop-168306.shtml]

After Wikileaks released the secret Cables many of those who opposed Wikileaks, or retracted their affiliation[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8190541/WikiLeaks-cyberwar-on-Visa-and-MasterCard-disrupts-Christmas-shopping-in-Operation-Payback.html] due to government pressure, became the next targets. The concept of Freedom of Information was supported by Wikileaks so those who opposed the group became targets, but also those who were pressured into retracting by government forces (the US government was blamed significantly for this) opened up a knowledge of a corruption within these governments, due to their intervention in private business.

These Operation also spun Operation Avenge Assange[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/12/06/anonymous_launches_pro_wikileaks_campaign/], an operation against those who targeted and victimised Julian Assange after the cable leaks.

== Westboro Baptist Church ==

On February 16, 2011, the Westboro Baptist Church issued a declaration of war against the group Anonymous. WBC claimed that Anonymous had threatened to start a war with their website and church. Despite this going against both Rule 14 of the Internet (Do not feed the trolls) and the principle belief of Freedom of Speech, a member of Anonymous called Topiary agreed to speak on the David Pakman Show on February 24[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJwSjor4hM].

On the show Anonymous explained that it initially had no interest in WBC because it considered them unimportant and trolls but after being harassed on the show the group replaced their sites with a message explaining their lack of interest.

== Anonymous and the Arab Spring ==
Because of their belief in values as freedom and democracy, Anonymous members are generally on the side of the people opposing dictators.
During the [[Arab Spring]], they initiated 2 operations: Operation [[Egypt]] and Operation [[Tunisia]] which consisted in series of attacks on governmental websites. They also lead some actions against [[Lybia]] and recently against the [[Syria | Syrian]] Defense Ministry.

== Symbols ==
In 2009, Anonymous adopted the motto "We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us". Contrary to what the [[bible]] teach, the Anonymous reject the concept of [[forgiveness]].

In public, members of Anonymous usually wear the Guy Fawkes masks, made famous by the comic and movie [[V for Vendetta]].

Red giant

[[File:Betelgeuse NASA ESA.jpg|right|thumb|Betelgeuse, an example of a red giant star]]
A '''red giant''' is an enormous, highly luminous star, typically tens to hundreds the times the diameter of our own [[sun]], that represents the late stages of the [[stellar evolution]] of a main sequence [[star]]. Typically for stars between 0.5 and 6 solar masses. <ref>The Cambridge Atlas of Astronomy (2nd ed.). Cambridge University Press. 1988. pp. 255. ISBN 0-521-36360-8.</ref> The greater the mass of the star, the more quickly it will enter the red giant phase of its evolution.

The red giant stage begins when a main sequence star exhausts all of the [[hydrogen]] fuel used for nuclear fusion in its core. The hydrogen located just outside of the core, however, will not fuse due to the lower temperature of the region. The star will then begin to contract under [[gravity]], and the outer layers of the star will start to collapse. As the shells of hydrogen gas contract towards the core, they heat up, eventually reaching the temperature required to fuse the hydrogen into [[helium]], providing a new source of energy and halting the collapse through a renewal of stellar fusion. As the star has now grown hotter than it was during the star's life during the main sequence, the outer parts of the star begin to swell. Because of the expansion of the outer layers of the star, the energy produced in the core of the star is spread over a vastly larger surface area. This results in a lower surface temperature, which shifts the star's visible output towards the red side of the visual spectrum.

Depending of the mass of the star, there are two different routes the red giant's evolution will take. For those stars that are less then 2.55 solar masses, the core will continue to contract until it becomes degenerate. At this point, the core will not contract any further, but will continue to heat up. As the temperature reaches 10<sup>8</sup> K, it will become hot enough for the core to begin fusing helium to [[carbon]] and to a lesser extent, [[oxygen]]. As degenerate matter is an excellent conductor of heat, all the helium will be fused nearly simultaneously in a [[helium flash]]. For more massive stars, the 10<sup>8</sup> K temperature required to fuse helium will happen as the core is still contracting, allowing for a much more fluid fusion of helium, avoiding the flash. <ref>http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/astro/redgia.html</ref>

Once the helium begins fusing, the star again contracts and leaves the red giant stage. For stars around the mass of our Sun, insufficient mass exists to fuse oxygen and carbon into heavier elements. Once the star lacks any more helium to fuse, the star will eject its expanded outer layers as a planetary nebula, exposing the core. The star thus becomes a [[white dwarf]], slowly cooling off over time<ref> Zeilik, Michael A.; Gregory, Stephan A. (1998). Introductory Astronomy & Astrophysics (4th ed.). Saunders College Publishing. pp. 321–322. ISBN 0030062284.</ref>. More massive stars will continue to fuse the carbon and oxygen into heavier elements. Any stars that are 10 solar masses or greater will instead become [[supergiant|red supergiants]] before ending their lives in a [[supernova]] explosion.

Low mass [[red dwarf|red dwarfs]] will not have sufficient mass to fuse helium and thus never enter a red giant phase, but instead will simply cool over time once all the hydrogen fuel is consumed.
