The Genetics of Bill Gates: Treason, Decapitation, Exile, Slavery, and Hiding the Links to Israel
I enjoy researching family histories. I’m always fascinated by how genes express themselves from generation to generation. We are the same creatures as our ancestors were. Even though we may have become healthier, more savvy, and live in a very different reality from our distant relatives, doesn’t mean we can’t learn anything from their journey. In fact, the process of researching your own family tree will often leave you feeling as though you’ve been looking in a mirror. If you go back far enough, you may even come across yourself.

Your London Will Never Be The Same
The UK's economic model has, at least for the past three decades, funnelled people towards the capital. London, together with all the big cities around the globe have benefited from, what economists have called, "agglomeration effects". Strong global economic headwinds that have encouraged businesses to be as close as possible to each other.

The meaning of words
The meaning of words. The political meaning of words. Many words in common use appear to mean different things to different people and this can cause confusion, which can be used by unscrupulous political zealots, to twist and doctor public opinion.

The Matchsticks
I reside in a city, cities are often called ‘concrete jungles’. These two words are one of the most accurate representations of humankind’s need to advance, to invent, to innovate. We deplete what we find around us and then try to replicate it using technology. We are in a sense invaders, seeking to disturb the equilibrium found in nature to further advance. We were surrounded by wood and so we built industries utilizing it, conveniently forgetting that it was a finite resource, and then realization struck, depletion of this ‘resource’ had negative side-effects but the damage was already too far spread and the reversal has to be quick, there can be no ‘baby-steps’. According to Greenpeace, 80% of our forests have been destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Something that used to surround us has been isolated, driven to, for lack of a better term, extinction. At the rate at which forests are disappearing, the only way for the future generation to ever experience it would be through Virtual Reality headsets. To experience what we have before it’s gone I decided to head down to Cooks Forest, Pennsylvania. Cooks Forest is known for its variety of evergreen trees and hence it has also acquired the name, Black Forest, due to the sun never reaching the forest floor due to these trees.

What Is Trump Doing In Trying To Cut Payroll Taxes?
July 23rd, 2020 The news first, and an apology for the photo, it sears me to my soul as well (if the Surgeon General put that picture on tobacco and vaping products, nicotine addiction would nose dive in short order). It was widely reported this morning that after significant resistance from members of his own party, President Donald Trump is dropping the demand for a payroll tax cut to be part of the upcoming corona virus aid bill congressional republicans are working to put together now. To be clear, it was not said that he was dropping the demand altogether but Steven Mnuchin was quoted as saying “it won’t be in the base bill”, when interviewed by CNBC about the payroll tax cut, but he did later say the White House may seek a payroll tax cut in future legislation.

Black People Are Racist Too
The amount of times per day that I see my right-wing, conservative, facebook friends sharing the phrase "black people are racist too" is infuriating, but it's also not entirely false. People, especially now during the Black Lives Matter movement, are taking every chance they get to post photos and news articles about the racist things that black people have done or are currently doing, even the ones who run the BLM movement. These people, posting these stories and articles and photos, are not wrong. You cannot tell me they are because 1. there is proof and 2. it's human nature at this point. Black people are racist too, fact. Don't try to "if, and, or but" me because you're in denial if you try to argue that. It's a fact.

After Huawei, TikTok also goes to the ban: so Trump attacks China
It is written Huawei, but basically it reads China. That behind the now famous ban imposed by Donald Trump against the Shenzhen technology company there is a plan to break China's wings seems now the secret of puffin. And in the last few hours a hypothesis is taking hold that would reinforce this scenario. According to reports from the Financial Times, in fact, the White House is considering very seriously the possibility of adding ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, to the famous "blacklist" (which already includes Huawei). The short video social network, with over 2 billion downloads across the West and around 800 million daily active users, is probably the digital platform with the highest growth rates in the world. And the fact that he is Chinese is seen by Trump as a major threat to the United States.
