The discovery of pottery from the ancient Lapita culture by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) has shed new light on how Papua New Guinea (PNG) served as a launching pad for the colonization of the Pacific—one of the greatest migrations in human history.The new study makes clear the initial expansion of the Lapita people throughout PNG was far greater than previously thought.The study... is based on the discovery of a distinctive Lapita pottery sherd, a broken piece of pottery with sharp edges, on Brooker Island (200km east of mainland PNG) in 2017 that lead researcher Dr. Ben Shaw...

A 95-year-old Tennessee resident, who was part of acts of persecution in Nazi Germany, has been deported to Germany, the U.S. Department of Justice said Saturday. Friedrich Karl Berger, of German citizenship, was deported because of his participation in Nazi-sponsored persecution while serving as an armed guard of the Neuengamme Concentration Camp system in Nazi Germany, in 1945, according to the statement. "Berger's removal demonstrates the Department of Justice's and its law enforcement partners' commitment to ensuring that the United States is not a safe haven for those who have participated in Nazi crimes against humanity and other human rights...

So, I keep hearing this idiotic rant "Make America Mexico Again". If frickin MehCheapoH were so great, how come they keep coming to uhmmm America? they are not here to invade, rather, they are here to make a life for themselves they could never hope for in MehFauxco. Mexico and America are not places with borders defining a race. Both countries are multi-racial and multi-cultural. The differences between Mexico and America are stark. To start with; anyone can become anything they want in America and live to tell about it...for a time. Heck, you can even be born a poor...

" Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter.  The man who lets a leader prescribe his course is a wreck being towed to the scrap heap.  It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.  A government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal...

Target any white person: the chilling guidelines for Bali suicide bombers By Anton La Guardia, Diplomatic Editor (Filed: 04/07/2006) Any white person is a target. Avoid hotels because they are too well protected. Carry the bombs in small knapsacks to avoid suspicion. And don't worry about your escape route because you will become a "martyr". These guidelines for suicide bombers were found on a computer captured by Indonesian police during a raid in November, and are believed to have been written by the British-educated bomb-maker Azahari Husin, who died during the attack. Azahari, in his mid-40s when he died, studied...

From the Maha - CLINTON: I think handling the aftermath of a natural disaster is different than preventing a terrorist attack. I actually believe that the federal government has been quite good about that, in spite of the breakdowns that led up to 9/11. There were any number of terrorist attacks prevented in the 1990s and there have been a lot of terrorist cells broken up -- CLINTON: Well, I would repeal the tax cuts for upper income people. I myself have gotten four tax cuts while young Americans have gone off to risk their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan,...

Do cows and tennis balls boost global warming? February 21, 2005 Cows and sheep grazing in fields, joggers' shoes or even refrigerators could all be targeted under a new United Nations pact meant to rein in global warming. The Kyoto protocol, which came into force last week, is an attempt to put the brakes on a build-up of heat-trapping gases that many scientists fear will trigger more heat waves, droughts and floods and could raise global sea levels by almost a meter by 2100. And tennis balls may be an infinitesimal part of the problem. Kyoto focuses on cutting carbon...

Anti-Semitism in Solidarity Movement Conference at Ohio State By Diana Appelbaum, Guest Columnist, October 27, 2003 Home   Search   Forum   Terms A plan to eliminate a population of five million Jews, by murdering some and, presumably, so terrifying the rest that they flee in fear of their lives, is properly called anti-Semitic.   But what if a Jew proposes such a plan?  And not an apostate Jew.  What if a professing Jew proposes such a plan?  Is it still anti-Semitic?   This is neither an historical nor a hypothetical question.    The International Solidarity Movement, its American, student affiliate the Palestinian Solidarity Movement,...
