4 August 2019 (Wall Street International)* — David Ray Griffin is a philosopher of religion who has written a dozen books on 9/11, all of which I have reviewed. George W Bush apparently wrote in his diary on September 11, 2001, that “the Pearl Harbour of the 21st-century happened today”, and we now know the foreign policy fallout of this event in terms of the War on Terror, along with domestic measures curtailing freedom and embodied in the Patriot Act.

By UN Environment* — In 1850, a tiger’s pawprints could be found in both the hardpacked snow of Siberian forests and the soft beach sands of Bali. Tigers roamed from the edge of Europe at the Caspian Sea to the shores of the Pacific. To walk into most of Asia’s forest at that time was to enter the domain of one of the most impressive apex predators on the planet.

Please read this (and ask your grown-ups to explain and… behave themselves)
It looks like a funny tale. But it is much more than just that—it is about nothing less than your health.
