Criminal: The Rich & their politicians have used lies of omission in mainstream media to destroy global biosphere together with what will be 100s of millions of lives, all for their profit.
Due to the other big lie - a lie of omission committed by a mainstream media owned and controlled by the rich and their politicians, whose position insulates them from the horrifying outcome they damned the rest of to experience as a result their pursing selfish goals:

“"To the American Youth" by Alexander Berkman”
“Tyranny must be opposed at the start. Autocracy, once secured in the saddle, is diffucult to dislodge. If you believe that America is entering the war "to make democracy safe," then be a man and volunteer.
But if you know anything at all, then you should know that the cry of democracy is a lie and a snare for the unthinking. You should know that a republic is not synonymous with democracy, and that America has never been a real democracy, but that it is the vilest plutocracy on the face of the globe.”

Their findings suggest that all organisms release methane.”

“Fish deaths north of Brisbane.
Following significant flood events like we’ve just seen, environmental conditions can change rapidly, which can lead to mass fish deaths.
We are currently seeing these impacts across Southeast Queensland and while this is a natural occurrence, our team will investigate instances to ensure fish kill events are not caused by pollution or contamination.
The most common cause of fish kills reported to the Pollution Hotline is low dissolved oxygen. Low dissolved oxygen can occur when heavy rain and flooding washes large amounts of organic matter, such as leaf litter and woody debris, into waterways. The rapid decay of this organic matter can consume dissolved oxygen from the water. Very few fish species can survive long-term exposure to low levels of dissolved oxygen and this leads to fish mortality.
Unfortunately, there can be other causes of fish kills too. That’s why our officers across the state are on hand to respond to any fish kill reports and investigate to determine the likely cause. Please continue to report any suspected fish kills or pollution incidents by calling 1300 130 372.”

The second image shows the Jet Stream on the Northern Hemisphere on March 16, 2022. The third image shows that, on March 16, 2022, the temperature in the Arctic was 3.5°C higher than 1979-2000, while temperatures in Antarctica were also much higher.

BOYCOTT WOLF KILLING STATES
“Bonnie Rice saying it well:
"State wildlife management agencies have a responsibility to manage wildlife for the broader public — not just those who benefit from killing wolves and other species.
... our system of wildlife management is severely skewed and outdated. Even more troubling is the trend in Montana and other states toward privatization of wildlife and managing species for the benefit of commercial hunting and trapping outfitters and wealthy landowners who get special treatment — not even the average resident hunter."

“The civil war in Yemen represents the greatest, humanitarian crisis of today. Completely ignored by the world public and media. It's been more than six years, and the invasion of that country was carried out by Saudi Arabia, wanting to put "their people" in power in that country. It is an understatement to say that this is a total humanitarian and human disaster as more than 2 million children are starving and starving on the streets of ravaged cities and villages. Saudi operations in Yemen have been supported by their allies, the United States, UK and United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia's propaganda is so strong, that this, to say the least, disaster, is completely disregarded from the eyes of the world public.”

2008: “Pre-emptive nuclear strike a key option, Nato told”
John D. Vedilago Sr.:
“The reason The Ukraine and the expansion of Nato to Russia’s borders are such concern for Russia and the rest of the world is that the Placement of Nukes on their borders are designed to give America and Nato a pre-emptive first strike capacity. Something they literaly have been preparing for and running real life simulations for.
Avoiding That has been the basis of every nuclear disarmament treaty that the US has now unilaterily withdrawn from and the basis for Obama’s retooling of America’s nuclear weapons.
For the first time, since the age of 15, sitting in darkened hallway with my head between my knees, during the Cuban Missile Crises, waitng to be vaporized by one of the 16 nuclear warheads aimed at New York City, I’m actually worried, with the same gut feeling, that there is something far more sinister going on here than meets the eye.
Especially since NATO has been been spending the whole year conducting offensive exercises with every nation in Europe. It even had Swedish fighter squadrons escorting America’s strategic bombers a ross the Baltic sea in exercises from Sweden, who is not even a member.
We should all be afraid very afraid... there is something seriously not right here.”
