Majestic and solemn, the Jiayuguan Fortress lies quietly beneath the Qilian Mountains, like a radiant scroll of frontier landscape.
Walking through its ancient corridors, one can almost hear the soft chime of camel bells along the old Silk Road, with the echoes of millennia carried on the desert wind.📸
RACISM: A Texas State Representative is pushing for race-based classroom assignments, claiming students perform better when taught by teachers who share their skin color.
Big Agricultural biochemical companies are genetically engineering soil microbes
2 of them are already being used on millions of acres of US farmland and documents show 8 more have been registered
This is disastrous for our health
“Genetically modifying organisms in the dirt will have far reaching effects that could be disastrous. The the arrogance of biochemical engineers astounds me. The usual ag giants like Bayer, Syngenta and BASF are manipulating yet another aspect of agriculture.
They've packaged up these new biologicals with super herbicides like glyphosate and atrazine, with genetically modified seeds, put a bow on it and called it regenerative agriculture.
Well, I like the old regenerative agriculture with seed saving, crop rotation, livestock innovation, crop overlay. People can argue about the safety of glyphosate and atrazine, but one thing's for sure, Big Ag is going to have a proprietary lock on the whole of farming. At the rate they're going, you're going to need the new GE microbes to nourish the GE seeds.
2 live GE microbes are currently being used on millions of acres of US farms, and the EPA's website states they've registered eight more. These are organisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, algae, protozoa.
Genetic modifications can move between species and national boundaries on the wind. When these are released into the environment, you can't gather them back up again.
The regulatory agencies that oversee their use have no monitoring protocols on the spread and environment effects. We don't know what genes have been modified. That's trade secret information that's redacted from most of the application documents.
Experience tells us that monsters can emerge when you mess with microbiome balance, especially their genes. The EPA and the USDA need to step up regulatory review on biologicals. Here's another good reason to buy organic”
“Why is the dirt that's been on this earth for millennia not good enough?”
Which European Country will be first to rebel against the islamification of their country, because the very minute that fightback begins, every other country in Europe will follow suit, guaranteed.
All it's waiting for is the fuse to be lit.
(Just my opinion)
Thirty four days ago, Ukraine responded positively to the U.S. proposal for a full and unconditional ceasefire. And for thirty four days now, Russia has been openly refusing to cease fire. Putin remains focused on continuing the war. Russian state propagandists are preparing their audience for the idea that diplomacy will not bring any results.
There is only one reason for this – in Moscow, they are not afraid. If there is no strong enough pressure on Russia, they will keep doing what they are used to – they will keep waging war.
We all want this to end. Peace is needed – and it must be lasting. That is why Ukraine always works constructively with its partners, in all formats that can bring security and restore peace. We are not just ready for peace quickly – Ukraine has never wanted this war, not for a single second.
And when the war ends, the world will clearly know: it happened because Russia, the aggressor, was forced into peace. The same aggressor that came to Ukrainian land in 2014 – 11 years ago. And it’s important for everyone that this doesn’t take more years.
Nearly 100 days after the fires in Los Angeles and it’s going about how you’d expect from L.A.’s leadership.
Only four permits for homeowners to rebuild their properties had been issued by the City of Los Angeles by the end of March.
Which was four more than L.A. County issued in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire.

Prayers for the people of Thailand and Myanmar who are facing unimaginable loss after the earthquake. May those who have passed rest in peace, and may comfort surround their families. 🙏💔
