I wonder why the press is not informing about citizens of Africa and India being discriminated and mistreated at the Polish Ukranian border.. I only saw Yahoo news informing and showing videos about this facts. I think every citizen from any country with any color pigmentation should be given equal treatment at the Polish border. I think is everyone's duty to repudiate this kind of treatment.

Putin is very isolated and lonely. There is no one he can trust or count on to follow his orders.

There are basically "Russian" agents serving Rome operating all over America right now ITALY, RUSSIA, & GANGSTERS Romanov translates to "Roman Of" or "Of Roman" Russia is basically a proxy of Italy which is heavily communistic. Russia redeveloped their communist government into a facade of a parliamentary republic ran by former communist mobsters who use violence, threats, bribery, blackmail, and murder to control. This is exactly what Italy is. They reformatted their communist and fascist parties into social democracies which are run by mobsters like Berlusconi. The various Italian crime syndicates like Cosa Nostra, Camorra, and Ndrangheta collectively make at least a half of trillion per year on a global scale. Don Fabrizio Massimo Brancaccio the Prince of Triggiano is a top authority over Italy and Russia through organized crime and militants. Jesuits were founders of modern communism known as Jesuit Reductions. Mario Draghi was Jesuit educated at the Massimo's Massimiliano Massimo Institute and he was president of the EU bank for a decade before recently becoming Prime Minister of Italy. Prince Fabrizios friend the former Russian speaking head of Italian intelligence Giampiero Massolo who worked at the embassy of Moscow is the head of Fincantieri a ship building company in contract with the Russian government in building submarines. Prince Carlo Massimo is the head of the Italian Knights of Malta which Putin serves through Prince Albert II of Monaco a Knight of Malta. Monte Carlo is a primary headquarters for both the Russian Mafia and the Sicilian Mafia. This is well documented. Don Fabrizio Massimo Brancaccio is the primary owner of the Sicilian Mafia through the Graviano mafia clan of hitmen located in Brancaccio area of Palermo, Sicily ruled by Don Fabrizios relatives the Brancaccios who merged with the Roman Massimos. The Gravianos take their orders from Rome not Sicily and that has documented through investigations. Russian and Italian criminals are known to work together including in their WhiteRock stock market scheme with Felix Sater a Russian mobster and associate of Donald Trump. More recently the Russian Nikitin along with the Italians Villone and Caparini were charged with violating United States sanctions on Russia along with charges of wire fraud and money laundering. The Russian Mafia pay taxes to the Lucchese crime syndicate in NYC because Cosa Nostra allows them to operate there under a tax. The Luccheses even provided protection to the Russian Mafia when they were threatened by rivals. The Massimos are the primary owners of the Gambinos and the Massimos are married with the Lucchesi noble family who are the owners of the Lucchese crime syndicate which the Russian Mafia operates under. The Massimos are interconnected with the Gaetanis also owners of the Gambinos and Philly Mob through marriage with the Lucchesis. The Gaetanis are married with the Gherardescas who married with the Russian Romanov branch who settled in Italy. The Massimos and Gaetanis were the ancient Massagetae Scythian tribe in lower Russia and they invaded Europe and Rome after the fall of the Empire. Prince Roffredo Gaetani D'Aragona Lovatelli dated Ivana Trump and is a friend of Donald Trump who has extensive connections to both the Italian and Russian mafias. Prince Fabrizio's sister Princess Barbara Massimo is married to Don Scipione Borghese the Prince of Sulmona whose family married with the Cavazzo family who inherited their private island. The Cavazzos are married with Russian royalty. The Borgheses founded the Bank of the Holy Spirit which absorbed into UniCredit and the Massimos relatives the Gabriellis which the Massimos directly inherited from founded Banco di Roma which absorbed into Unicredit. UniCredit has a bank branch in Moscow. www.dagospia.com/mediagallery/dago_fotogallery-76137/443528.htm Prince Fabrizio Massimo Brancaccio 1.bp.blogspot.com/-RZLtC2HoGEE/XqeMWKjp6UI/AAAAAAAADV4/Fn8xb0wWffIm2a6Wl9r1Rehrn0IeiNCFgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-04-27%2Bat%2B9.27.40%2BPM.png Prince Scipione Borghese and Princess Barbara Massimo www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/roffredo-gaetani-ivana-and-donald-trump-discuss-betsey-news-photo/635761555 Prince Roffredo Gaetani with Trump en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Slavic/-ov%D1%8A ovъ of, belonging to Descendants East Slavic: Belarusian: -аў (-aŭ) (unstressed), -оў (-oŭ) (stressed) Russian: -ов (-ov)

Who is God in Islam ? Muslims believe that God has no partners or associates who share in His divinity or authority and that God is transcendent, unlike His creations, and thus has no physical form. Nor is God believed to exist in (or be represented by) any material object. A number of divine attributes or “names,” which serve to describe God, are found in the Qur’an. Some commonly known attributes include the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving, the Most High, the Unique, and the Everlasting, among others.....

War Chess, post #2 The Russian legislature made it illegal for reporters to reference their "Special Military Operation" as anything else, especially war, so they would be able to call any defense of Ukraine, by shooting down murderous planes, an act of aggression, by NATO. This is how the Russian legislature saw the need to impose fifteen year prison terms for the honesty and integrity of journalists.

[@heartdwellers3514]

The harvest has begun! (Matthew 13:30) "... repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:1-2) God demands repentance from everyone, for "there is no righteous man on earth who does good and does not sin" (Eccl. 7:20)..." “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”(Rom. 3:10-12). "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: they ate, drank, married, married, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed everyone. Just as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, drank, bought, sold, planted, built; but on the day that Lot left Sodom, a rain of fire and brimstone fell from heaven and destroyed everyone; so it will be on the day when the Son of Man appears. On that day, whoever is on the roof, and his things are in the house, do not go down to take them; and whoever is in the field, also do not turn back. Remember Lotova's wife. Whoever saves his soul will destroy it; and whoever destroys it will revive it. I tell you: that night there will be two on the same bed: one will take, and the other will remain; two will grind together: one will take, and the other will remain; two will be in the field: one will take, and the other will remain." (Luke 17:26-36) "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour at which the Son of Man will come." (Matthew 25:13) 10 And he said to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one be sanctified still. 12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my retribution is with me, to reward everyone according to his deeds. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last. 14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through the gates. 15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to witness these things to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is willing take the water of life for free. 18 And I also testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will put on him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his participation in the book of life, and in the holy city, and in what is written in this book. 20 He who bears witness to this says, "To her, I am coming soon!" Amen. To her, come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen." (Revelation of John the Theologian, 22:10-21) "If we say that we have no sin- we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8) "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19)

WW3 casualty breakdown estimates: Total nuclear exchange between belligerent powers could potentially involve in it’s entirety detonations in excess of 5k megatons over significant portions of the northern hemisphere. Initial death toll within 24 hours is estimated at 300-500 million with variances dependent on use of fallout shelters and evacuation procedures. Past this point casualties would continue to increase as a further 1-2 billion are expected to succumb to radiation poisoning and cancer in the proceeding weeks and months. A substantial number of these fatalities are expected outside the belligerent powers as radioactive particles are spread globally via atmospheric currents. Secondarily a nuclear winter resulting from the injection of soot particularly black carbon entering the upper atmosphere is expected to lower global temperatures between 11C to 22C for a period of 3-5 years under optimistic projections with some modeling showing global temperatures being affected for periods extending several decades. The result of this drastic temperature change is expected to deplete farm yields in excess of 80-90% causing a further 4-6 billion global fatalities due to starvation. With the casualty variation being highly dependent on proper use of food stocks and rationing from the remaining populace. Further still the majority of industrial fertilizer and farm equipment manufacturing that is responsible for the consequential increase in farm yields of the past century is located within the belligerent countries territories. Studies estimating planetary carrying capacity using preindustrial farming techniques provide a range of 600-800 million as sustainable in terms of global population. And with the majority of arable farmland located within the impacted northern hemisphere. Along with the effects of nuclear winter, planetary carrying capacity would be reduced further still. With some modeling predicting as few as 50-100 million being sustainable. In addition ocean fauna would also be dangerous to consume as rain/snow runoff funnels radioactive material along with debris containing large concentrations of lead and other heavy elements into coastal waters. With the destruction of much of the northern hemisphere global trade would for all intents and purposes cease to function. As all major ports, navigable rivers and highways within the belligerent states intersect economic zones that would now be impassable due to radioactive contamination and debris. As per UN food sustainability studies between 58%-62% of countries are dependent on food imports. Even within countries classified as food sustainable estimates put 70%-74% of populations farther than 200km of their respective food producing regions. A further strain on food distribution would be the loss of major fuel refining facilities based in the impacted countries. Fuel shortages would compound already strained food stocks leading to a breakdown in the supply chain. Under these conditions remaining governments would face a monumental task in attempting to maintain law and order. Possibly resulting in the breakdown of civil society and extreme lawlessness in most of the world. Rate of homicides during this period can't be calculated with certainty but expected to be significant. Lastly the majority of pharmaceutical manufacturing for both antiviral and antibiotics, along with medical equipment is produced by the belligerent countries. Loss of these facilities would compound the spread of disease along with the subsequent conditions. Further adding to the substantial number of unpredictable deaths. It is outside the scope of this summary to predict a time frame for the reemergence of civilized societies and or nation states. Final estimate for a total nuclear exchange is between 5.3 to 7.7 billion casualties. With a moderate chance of complete human extinction. A strange game, the only winning move is not to play. -WOPR

[@silviashefa4097]

Why We Do Need So Many People in the World At the start of the 20th century, the world population was roughly two billion people. Today, it is roughly eight billion. Of those eight billion, most are poor, and over a billion people are hungry to the point of starvation. Providing for so many people at a decent level seems too formidable a task for Earth. Moreover, each day, more bots, robots, and automatic machines are replacing human jobs. Humanity is producing enough to provide for everyone, so the question is why we need so many people. Would Earth, and humanity, not be better off if we were only four billion, for example? The truth is that we wouldn’t be better off; we would be much worse off. There is a good reason for the exponential growth in humanity’s population over the past century or so. When we look at people, we see faces and bodies, human beings, and nothing more. But the truth is much more complicated and intricate than that. Try to imagine any animal without relating it to its environment, and you will realize that it is a lost cause. The shape, color, behavior, size, longevity, and every other aspect of its existence derives from the environment where it exists. Animals are not isolated from their environment; they rely on it, follow its laws, and at the same time make up the environment that sustains them and of which they are a part. Humans, too, make up a system. We think of ourselves as isolated individuals, but we are actually parts of a global human society. We influence it, it influences us, and almost everything that is true for the animal kingdom is true for us. There are only two differences between animals and people, though they are fundamental differences. The first is that people are inherently mean and selfish, while animals are not. The second is that our desires grow and intensify, while those of animals remain largely the same. While we want more money and power the more we have of them, animals settle for what they have once they have had their fill. Worse yet, from generation to generation, we are becoming more greedy, domineering, and narcissistic. Conversely, animals’ “aspirations” do not change from generation to generation: Give them enough grass, or enough game, and they are happy campers. The reason why our desires grow while those of animals remain the same is that an increased desire makes us accelerate our development. Eventually, humans are not intended to perceive only the physical existence, but to penetrate through it and perceive the connectedness and interdependence among all of us not only intellectually, as I am explaining it here, but in the senses, just as we perceive the physical world, if not more so. Our constant desire to search, explore, discover, and learn stems from our aspiration to know the deepest levels of reality. That knowledge is the sole prerogative of humans since only people develop such profound desires. As our desires grow, we must learn to direct them toward discovering the purpose and structure of life. New desires first appear on the crassest level, and we must cultivate them, raise them to the level where they enhance our perception of reality. Because these desires are so intense, we need more people to “share the load.” As just said, although we feel isolated, we are in fact one system. Everything we think is ours is actually part of the system of humanity and all of humanity shares it. Therefore, our desires are also not personal, even though they feel as such. Every time we elevate one desire from the corporeal level to the higher levels of perception, we influence all of humanity. And every time a person dies, the burden of elevating our common desire grows heavier on all of us. This is why the life of every person is precious. It determines the pace of advancement of all of humanity. If we realized how deeply we are connected, and what harm we cause by mistreating other people, if we felt it as it really is-that we are torturing ourselves-we would not dare mistreat each other or leave one person uncared for.

That teacher is lucky for indiana law because if not for it he shouldn't get paid anything. You don't put your doggone hands on anyone else's child unless you're saving that child's life. And all he's getting is battery...child abuse.

To bomb Russia by using a very highly-tech, American made nuclear weapons, might be hard, and this needed a creative expertise to do so.

That was the one thing I have ever agreed with that Lindsey Graham said. He shouldn’t have said it as an American official, but the words are correct.

[@QTEPYE]

What is the health status of student slapped by teacher and who immediately collapsed? Lawsuit in conjunction with criminal sanctions?

[@seanbrown2341]

WHEN will they report the war. Good and bad we need to know why Ukraine lost so much important ground.

[@yghiozzi]

Men from 18 to 60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine. That have to stay and fight. Not really their choice.

[@CaseyKCRichards]

Sorry but at this stage it’s a no win . Citizens should not be used and slaughtered on the front lines . Retreat to fight another day, save lives.

At this rate Ukraine without back up is in a pre destined slam dunk roulette, they should think it twice risking their heads, unless real help comes to rescue

[@renicherian2415]

Energy independence is what we need right now. Old man Biden wake up and end the suffering of the Ukrainian people
