The Sahara Desert hasn’t always been a desert.
Around 7,000 years ago, the world’s largest arid desert was green – filled with grasslands, rivers, and enormous lakes. Hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, elephants, and antelopes roamed the savanna, while early humans hunted, fished, and painted rock art of the animals around them.
Scientists call this period the African Humid Period, when changes in Earth’s orbit shifted the monsoon northward, drenching North Africa with rainfall. Lake Chad swelled to the size of the Caspian Sea, and the Sahara supported thriving ecosystems and human settlements.
But this “Green Sahara” didn’t last.
About 3,000 BCE, the rains stopped. In just a few centuries, lush savanna turned to sand. People living in the interior were forced to migrate – many toward the Nile Valley, where new farming communities helped give rise to ancient Egypt.

⚠️ Talk to long range target shooters and they will discount Flat-Earthers with hard facts
“Line of Sight: The curvature of the Earth means that over great distances, the target will appear lower than it actually is. This is because the Earth drops away beneath the line of sight. For example, over a distance of 2,000 meters (about 1.24 miles), the Earth’s surface curves approximately 31.4 centimeters (about 1 foot). Marksmen must account for this drop to maintain accuracy….”

John Homeston, a retired CIA agent, admitted that hip-hop was a psychological operation invented by the CIA in the 1980s, and that the agency directed and funded famous performers including NWA, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and Kanye West.
The government at the time spent "serious money" on the operation, designed to "corrupt young people and 'sow division.
"At the time, we understood that music was a powerful propaganda tool for young people. We even infiltrated mainstream radio to promote their music and get the word out to millions of people every day," he admitted
Famous songs by the iconic NWA band were even written by a team of military propagandists and CIA psychologists.
Homston claims that the psychological operation was "extremely successful." It's hard to argue with that.

Russia's New JFK Assassination Dossier
The official document that the Russian government gave to Rep. Luna, with KGB documents and background
"NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced Monday that it will cut around 550 jobs — around 10% of its staff.
"In a statement posted online, the lab’s director, Dave Gallagher, said the layoffs are part of a broad “realignment of its workforce” and not a result of the government shutdown.
"The cuts will affect positions across the NASA center’s technical, business and support areas, he said.
“This week’s action, while not easy, is essential to securing JPL’s future by creating a leaner infrastructure, focusing on our core technical capabilities, maintaining fiscal discipline, and positioning us to compete in the evolving space ecosystem — all while continuing to deliver on our vital work for NASA and the nation,” he said."

Ancient artifacts returned from Australia to Ukraine
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has transferred a 3rd millennium BC temple pendant and a 12th–13th century arrowhead to the Ministry of Culture. These items were illegally exported from Ukraine and intercepted in Australia at the end of 2023.
“The return of Ukrainian artifacts is an important step in restoring historical justice and confirming the historical continuity of Ukraine. This is especially significant as Russia wages a genocidal war against Ukraine and attempts to erase our history,” Foreign Minister Sybiha stated.

TIL the three actors in The Blair Witch Project signed a contract with a clause that allowed the studio to use their real names "for the purpose of this film". So when their identities were used again in the sequel without their permission, they sued the studio and won a settlement of $300,000 each.

"This cancellation was feminine, the essay argued, because all cancellations are feminine. Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field. That is the Great Feminization thesis, which the same author later elaborated upon at book length: Everything you think of as “wokeness” is simply an epiphenomenon of demographic feminization.
"The explanatory power of this simple thesis was incredible. It really did unlock the secrets of the era we are living in. Wokeness is not a new ideology, an outgrowth of Marxism, or a result of post-Obama disillusionment. It is simply feminine patterns of behavior applied to institutions where women were few in number until recently. How did I not see it before?"
