Alexander the Great is one of the most extraordinary individuals in history. He became king of the fringe Greek kingdom of Macedonia in 336 BC at the age of just 20, and before his death twelve years later, had imposed Macedonian overlordship on Greece, destroyed the mighty Persian Empire and led an army deep into modern Afghanistan and to the Indian frontier. At Opis he faced a mutiny by his Macedonian troops, angered that he wanted to send some of them home, while appearing to give preference to his new Asian subjects, and adopting many of their customs. Alexander dealt ruthlessly with the ringleaders, before (according to 'The Anabasis' by Roman historian Arr…

Professor Klaus Schwab in Davos, Switzerland has an almost evil sounding voice for this plan..... The Fourth Industrial Revolution.... human augmentation and genetic editing?

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has announced a $23.56 million endowment to a trust that will fund the development of Bitcoin in Africa and India. The fund will be set up as a blind irrevocable trust and take zero directions from the board members. Dorsey also called for three board members to start the trust, whose stated mission is to "make bitcoin the internet's currency."

Most posts from a previous topic that dealt with organ transplants/harvesting have been moved here. The previous topic is linked below: https://www.theworldnewsmedia.org/topic/87833-the-wests-war-of-words-against-china-starting-with-the-uyghurs Another new topic about Socialism and Communism will be posted elsewhere, in case anyone wishes to discuss those political ideas, too.

One female truck driver, she said, told her how she'd been unloading at a facility for six hours without being allowed to use the facilities — and when she asked a third time, was given a roll of toilet paper and told to go behind the building. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/truck-drivers-denied-washrooms-1.5876587?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar Why can't she just work from home like me instead of working a job that spreads the virus?!? Now let me just place this grocery delivery order... or "She should learn to code"

"I've always thought this a terrible precedent. Bodily Autonomy, the idea, that you get to decide what happens to your body, is one of the most inalienable rights I can imagine. While this does not completely negate that concept, it introduces the idea that the government now has that right, unless you assert it." comment on: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/organ-donation-nova-scotia?fbclid=IwAR0Fv4Uv48pw1GygEHZb-9dY0dkcWJJyIWPgYt9lMfv0RK5VWHYVU-xxIlI WHY DOCTORS WILL NOT LET YOU DIE IF YOU’RE A REGISTERED ORGAN DONOR THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH: A common abbreviated interpretation of the Hippocratic Oath is “First, do no harm.” In other words, the patien…

The strength of the relationships between personality traits and conspiratorial ideation were modest to weak. “A major caveat of our study is that the results are correlational, precluding causal inference. It is still unclear what temporally precedes conspiratorial ideation and what follows from it. For instance, anxious individuals may turn to conspiracy theories to find comfort but conspiracy belief may also increase anxiety. We still need to unde…

Footprints believed to have belonged to a crocodile-like prehistoric reptile have been found in the Italian Alps in an extraordinary discovery that scientists say proves there were survivors of a mass extinction 252m years ago. The first footprints were found in rocks in the area in 2008, with the scientists continuing their exploration over the following years until they had the complete set of prints needed to identify the animal. "The fossil footprints were found in a kind of very wet sediment in which they could be preserved," said Massimo Bernardi, a palaeontologist at Muse. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/15/footprints-of-crocodile-like-pre…

Men are a misunderstood lot, which all in all is probably for the best. Women are better off not knowing that we eat with our hands the minute they leave the room or that we use their nail clippers to trim our nose hair. Better for them, better for us. Still, it's annoying that women spend more time and money trying to understand the minds of cats than they do wondering about what makes men tick. Which is why they'll never understand...Our consuming need to own the biggest and most expensive version of just about everything.Our compulsive desire to drive off-road vehicles in cities and use corkscrews that resemble offshore drilling equipment is well documented. As marketi…

You can tell it's from a few decades ago because it doesn't mention WWII and lists the USSR as a power at the end. The width of the color blocking is relative power at that time.

The rapid spread of a new variant of coronavirus has been blamed for the introduction of strict tier four mixing rules for millions of people, harsher restrictions on mixing at Christmas in England, Scotland and Wales, and other countries placing the UK on a travel ban. So how has it gone from being non-existent to the most common form of the virus in parts of England in a matter of months? The government's advisers on new infections have "moderate" confidence that it is more able to transmit than other variants. All the work is at an early stage, contains huge uncertainties and a long list of unanswered questions. As I've written before, viruses mutat…

By now, most people have heard about the "Weeger" issues in China. There are supposedly concentration camps, torture camps, medical experiments, thousands imprisoned, etc. When someone changed thousands to "for all we know, there might even be millions" the new number changed to "millions" without Western media even batting an eyelash. So here's an opinion about it, which focuses on Xinjiang Province (also known as the “Uyghur Autonomous Region”)...There’s a lot of background to this, but the basic problem is geopolitical: The US wants to sabotage the growth of China as a world power in favor of the Western model of capitalism and imperialism.What imperialist Weste…

Grab your metal detector! For several months gold and silver jewelry, ornaments, and golden nuggets have started washing up on the shore of a small Venezuelan fishing village that had been devastated by the country’s economic crisis and COVID-19. Yolman Lares was the first to find treasure on the beach in Guaca in September when he found a gold medallion with an image of the Virgin Mary. “I began to shake, I cried from joy,” Lares, 25, told The New York Times. “It was the first time something special has happened to me.” Read more: https://nypost.com/2020/12/12/mysterious-gold-jewelry-washes-up-on-venezuelan-beach/

As the news talks about enforcing mandatory lockdowns, and handing out money to citizens… There has been a problem that has been rapidly expanding in the background of all of this news. … And It is a problem that the world has never really seen before. In fact… it might create a crisis that won’t just be felt in the next week, the next month, or even the next year... but it might be felt for several decades to come… During World War 2, Britain was in the thick of war against the axis powers. However, Britain ran into a roadblock…they were quickly running out of money. So, they began looking to borrow money from both their own future taxpayers, as well as the Uni…
