"Horseback Riding and Bronze Age Pastoralism in the Eurasian Steppes"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QapUGZ0ObjA
A lecture on the role of horse exploitation in the Bronze Age. Hint: #pastoralism #capitalism #classWar #religion #sacrifice #expansionism #paleoCapitalism #steppe #herding
Ted Trainer has made that Boyer lecture useful after all by digging it up, composting it and growing his fine article on the repurposed soil.

"A blueprint for mass deportation, marketed as development."
The new norm ?
"Prospectus proposes forced displacement of entire population and puts territory into US trusteeship.
A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population." >>

"Gaza is becoming ‘graveyard of international humanitarian law’ "
"We have made the Geneva convention[s] almost irrelevant. What is happening and being accepted today in Gaza is not something that can be isolated; it will become the new norm for all future conflicts."

"Climate change is an existential problem of planetary proportions."
"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued a historic advisory opinion that could reshape the global legal landscape for climate action, declaring that States have binding duties under international law to protect the climate system and that a failure to take appropriate measures may constitute an internationally wrongful act."
"The ICJ also addressed the oceans, affirming that anthropogenic GHG emissions qualify as “pollution of the marine environment” under UNCLOS, triggering obligations for States to “take all measures… necessary to prevent, reduce and control pollution.”

"The calamitous turning point of Israel's political culture occurred when the Zionist movement was taken over by the Russian political sect, particularly those from the Second Aliya (the 1904-1914 wave of Jewish immigration to #Palestine). Russian culture possesses noble aspects and achieved intellectual and cultural summits. But at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th, Russia underwent dramatic political upheavals that engendered a brutal political culture that scorned tolerance and enlightenment."

#Trump’s sharing of the clip to his 9M followers on Truth Social, w/no acknowledgment of its source, suggested that he was claiming it as a rendering of his #policy plans. It immediately found a wider audience: headlines, including one from NPR, described the video as “Trump’s.” In fact, it is the work of 2 Israeli American filmmakers, Solo Avital & Ariel Vromen, who run an #AI-driven studio in Los Angeles….
