“Our life savings … All this destruction,” said Hijazi, as he stepped into an apartment littered with shattered glass and broken furniture.

He was displaced again in late September, as Israel dramatically ramped up its air strikes on Lebanon after a year of exchanging fire with Hezbollah mostly along the border strip. Hijazi told Reuters he was worried about who would help him rebuild this time around. Even before…

Sauropodomorph dinosaurs feeding on newly evolved plants in a wet early Jurassic environmentMarcin Ambrozik The contents of 200-million-year-old faeces and vomit are helping show how dinosaurs took over the world at the start of the Jurassic Period. Well-preserved plants, bones, fish parts and even whole insects embedded in widely varying shapes and sizes of ancient animal droppings suggest that dinosaurs’ broad diets made them survivors in a changing ecosystem, compared with other groups of animals. That then led them to grow larger and ultimately establish their “dynasty on land”, says Martin Qvarnström at the University of Uppsala, Sweden. Fossil evidence…

The NEOCONs have orchestrated this entire Ukraine war against Russia. They have used the Ukrainian people as pawns and could care less if any survive. Every time the NEOCOs engage in their favorite pastime, the overthrow of governments and regime change, they will employ extremists to do their dirty work. The Western Media only publishes the NEOCON propaganda, and until the West wakes the hell up that this is ALL FAKE NEWS, we do not stand a chance of ever stopping World War III. Even the New York Times reported that two years ago, Gen. Mark A. Milley, then…
