And then there were none: Australia’s only shrew declared extinct

The tally of Australian mammals extinct since 1788 is now 39 species – far more than for any other country It’s official: the only Australian shrew is no more. The latest edition of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Red List, the world’s most comprehensive global inventory on extinction risk, has declared the Christmas Island shrew is extinct. This little animal is extremely common all over the island, and at night its shrill shriek, like the cry of a bat, can be heard on all sides. Continue reading...

Viewers of mainstream news and social media clips have seen high rise building after high rise building demolished in Gaza City over the last few weeks.

Many of their former inhabitants are only seeing the results now as they walk north.

I wouldn't go that far - but it certainly looks like the penny is finally dropping for MTG. Some little clink of the light of awareness is seeping in.

They will restart: they do this every time since President Carter; Get what they want and begin the Genocide again! The Zionists have been Terrorizing and Murdering Palestinians since 1946, or earlier!

After Gaza Ceasefire, “Massive Political Pressure” Needed to Prevent Israel from Restarting the War

A ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on Friday after the Israeli government approved the first phase of the U.S.-backed plan to end two years of war in the Palestinian territory. The deal calls for a ...

I give it a week after the hostages are released. The Israelis will find some excuse. They've not held to a ceasefire yet, why would they start now?

Hard to say since these flights go through a contractor, CSI Aviation. Another company similar to Journey charged $9,000 an hour + expenses. CSI’s current award is for $585 million and is almost all spent.

Michael Dezer was born in Tel Aviv in 1941, came to the US in the 1960s after serving in the Israeli Air Force. He and his son keep close ties and lost a number of Zionist groups as “charitable” causes.

They gave hundreds of thousands to Trump PACs in 2016 and 2020.

Michael Dezer and his son Gil Dezer built six Trump-branded properties in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, which is now known as “Little Moscow” due to all the luxury condo buyers — people who found themselves suddenly mysteriously filthy rich.

“Russians love the Trump brand,” Gil Dezer said in 2017.

The jet was operated by Journey Aviation, who also participated in the South Sudan, first Eswatini and second Rwanda third-country removals.

Rich people lease their private jets part-time to companies like Journey in order to get a huge tax break from Trump’s first term.

It was great working with Zeteo’s editors and rigorous fact-checker.

And I’m most grateful they let me say this in the last graf, something I’ve been try to get at with these ICE flights for awhile.

The disparity between the luxurious aircraft and its shackled, vilified passengers must have been quite a sight, but they are not unrelated. Corrupt officials transferring state funds to personal accounts, governments with empty treasuries and desperate citizens, luxury highrises, the criminalization of the unhoused and undocumented, billions spent on political campaign pageantry, aiding genocide from a faraway ballroom and calling it "charity," tax breaks for flying masked agents and nameless prisoners under cover of darkness - all are the spoils of oligarchy.

NEW: The private jet that flew 10 shackled migrants to an Eswatini prison last weekend is owned by Israeli-American billionaires with close ties to Trump.

It’s oligarchs all the way down.

Thank you for sharing that, I had never heard of him. Sometimes Christians could actually act like Christians. A heartening story.

“My ancestors treated their slaves like family.” Oh yeah? Like the Austrian guy who kept his family locked in a basement for 24 years and occasionally raped one of them? That kind of family?
