“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:
Welcome to WWIII... and this time it’s the U.S. at the center of it—not Germany.
This makes it the Second American Revolution—and our Second Civil War. It’s the slaveowner corporations, the billionaires which own them, and the capitalist system from which they thrive (which has hijacked our government) Vs. everyone that has to work, eat and breathe to live.”

“How we can help coral and seabirds survive a warming world
Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial, but there are hands-on ways to protect animals from inevitable warming.”
"Global warming is not just increasing average temperatures on land, it’s heating up the oceans as well. As marine heat waves become more common, they are disrupting longstanding relationships between species that have come to depend on each other.
Corals may lose the algae living inside of them, causing them to bleach, or even die, often after being hit by more than one heat wave. Large schools of fish move to more comfortable climes, forcing the seabirds that need them to feed their young to fly much longer distances from the shores where their kind has been nesting for ages.
The only sustainable, long-term approach to these issues is to drastically reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. But while we impatiently wait for international agreements to be reached and measures to be effectively implemented, isn’t there something we can do now to help the seabirds and corals we care about to withstand the heat? Two papers published in this week’s issue of Science suggest that yes, there is"

It’s all about getting the world to spin in our favor economically, and it’s expensive in many ways:
“Excerpt from "US Troops Die For World Domination, Not Freedom":
This is all US troops have been fighting and dying for since the Berlin Wall came down. Not "freedom", not "democracy", and certainly not the American people. Just continual uncontested domination of this planet at all cost: domination of its resources, its trade routes, its seas, its air, and its humans, no matter how many lives need to risked and snuffed out in order to achieve it. The US has killed millions and displaced tens of millions just since the turn of this century in the reckless pursuit of that goal.”
