Pyramids found in Poland...and Bosnia?

USA has pyramids, but no one seems to know it.
.
Polish archaeologists have found two megalithic tombs over 5,500 years old that teach us more about the burial practices and engineering abilities of one of Europe’s earliest agricultural societies.

The structures—sometimes called “Polish pyramids” or “giants’ graves” due to their triangular, monumental shape—were uncovered in the village of Wyskoć, in General Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park in the Wielkopolska province.
The discovery was made by archaeologists from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań during a field survey regularly conducted using remote sensing technology.

The tombs, whose existence was confirmed through excavations, were constructed by the Funnelbeaker Culture, a Neolithic society characterized by pottery and monumental burials.

The new findings are the second of their kind to be identified in the Wielkopolska region, the first being in 2019. More: archaeologymag.com

Pope declares, ‘I am [Peter the] Roman!’ slams Israel, related to Beyonce?

Pope Leo’s plea: [Bibi,] open Gaza for humanity’s sake| DRM News | AK1B

ROME — [The new Black American (Creole)] Pope Leo XIV declared himself a Roman on Sunday as he completed the final ceremonial steps cementing his role as the bishop of Rome.

He speaks perfect U.S. English like no pope in history
  • [Is Pope Leo unaware of the prophecy of Saint Malachy, The Prophecy of the Popes, or is he admitting his identity as an antichrist figure, or is he shoving it in the faces of conspiracy theorists to mock them because he's actually the nicest guy anyone would ever want to meet, particularly at a ballgame in Chi Town or a Peruvian temple in the former Incan Empire?]
  • Petro, you are my Rocko; I make you 1st Papa
    COMMENTARY
    : A "Peter" is a Rock (Petra), which is the foundation of the Church, which is a pope, as the first patriarch (pope) was. Perhaps to be a Peter is simply to be a Pope, so to say, "I am a Roman" is tantamount to teasing the world by saying, "I am Peter the Roman"(Petrus Romanus).
  • Who's next Pope? Trump or Peter the Roman?
  • VIDEO: What to know about BLACK (Louisiana Creole) Pope Leo XIV's ancestry (CBS)
New Orleans Creole is more than Black. It's color mixed.
.
I would of done a bester job then thiz Black Guy
The first American pope formally took possession of the St. John Lateran Basilica, which is Rome’s cathedral and seat of the diocese, with an evening Mass attended by Roman priests and faithful.

In his homily, Pope Leo said he wanted to listen to them “in order to learn, understand, and decide things together.” One of the many titles that Leo assumed when he was elected May 8, 2025, was "bishop of Rome."

No, Sinead, give this one a chance first!
Given his responsibilities running the 1.4-billion strong universal Catholic Church [or what remains of the Holy Roman Empire], popes [who serve as CEOs of the corporation] delegate the day-to-day governance of running of the diocese of Roman to a vicar.

Sunday’s ceremonies at the St. John Lateran and a stop at St. Mary Major basilicas follow Pope Leo’s visit last week to the St. Paul Outside the Walls Basilica.

Together with St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, the four papal basilicas are the most important basilicas in the West. [The Vatican is its own country within Italy's Rome, called the Holy See or sometimes Vatican City, a powerful city-state that owes no allegiance to Italy.]
Who rules Rome rules the world.
Rome’s Mayor Roberto Gualtieri welcomed Pope Leo first at the steps to City Hall, noting that his May 8th election fell during a Holy Year, an event occurring every 25 years to invite pilgrims to Rome.

The city underwent two years of traffic-clogging public works projects to prepare and expects to welcome upward of 30 million people in 2025. More:

Deep South deep freeze; forest found


It is snowing in Florida, North America's dangling participle, dripping into Trump's Gulf of Mexico America. This used to be the Deep South. (CBS Miami) A major winter storm is moving into northern Florida on Tuesday, bringing what will potentially be record-breaking snowfall totals.

Scientists baffled after finding fossilized frozen forest under ice patches on Beartooth Plateau
Scientists were recently left stunned when they unveiled the remains of a 6,000-year-old forest on the Beartooth Plateau.

The forest was buried in ice and came to the surface because of warming, Earth.com stated. Researchers believe that the forest retreated under ice 5,500 years ago due to a change in solar radiation and volcanic cooling which followed the phenomenon. Findings regarding the long-buried forest have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

On examination, the fossils were identified to be the remnants of a mature white bark pine forest. As per experts, the forest was once situated at an elevation of 10,000 feet.

Researchers cited the forest as an example of how ecosystems transform due to alterations in the atmosphere. “This is pretty dramatic evidence of ecosystem change due to temperature warming.

It’s an amazing story of how dynamic these systems are,” said David McWethy, one of the study’s authors and an associate professor at Michigan State University's (MSU’s) Department of Earth Sciences. More

'Crazy to see': Parts of Gulf Coast get first-ever blizzard warning

.
LAFAYETTE, Louisiana (Gulf of Mexico) − Portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast saw a first-ever blizzard warning, a wide swath of the Deep South was targeted by a major winter storm, and brutal cold temperatures gripped much of the nation today (Jan. 21, 2025) as the U.S. grappled with wild winter weather.

Stacey Denson, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Lake Charles, told USA TODAY the blizzard warning was a first for Louisiana. A blizzard warning means frequent wind gusts to 35 MPH and snow reducing visibilities to 1/4 mile or less is expected.

"It was pretty crazy to see," Denson said. "It is actually improving a bit, but we had whiteout conditions." More

Stormy Daniels molested, stripper, porn star

CNN, 4/1/23; Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Mad Magazine made a "Mad About the Trump Era/Error" comic book (walmart.com)


You can't believe her!
The life of "Stormy Daniels" (Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford, born 1979) has not been easy. While most of the country was enjoying seeing Trump get a long-awaited taste of justice, The Don was actually winning in another court: He prevailed in a lawsuit brought by Daniels, and the judge has ordered her to pay Trump $120,000.00 in legal fees. He must get tired of winning even if he was all about losing for the country during his time in the modest White House compared to his gaudy mansion. He surrounds himself with gavones, mouthpieces paid to repeat his latest story to cover up what really happened. It's not just Rudy Giuliani, Manafort, but all the gaudy guys and lawyers he's introduced since making it down to DC.
Hear Stormy Daniels' first comments since Trump indictment
(CNN) April 1, 2023. In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, not-too-bright adult film actress, former stripper, and victim of child sexual abuse at the age of 9, Stormy Daniels made her first public comments about the indictment of former Pres. D. Trump. CNN's Kyung Lah reports on Daniels' response to her role in the case. #CNN #News

Is That BLACK Enough for You? (film)

Not Black enough: cultural scapegoating
(The Situational Therapist) Aug. 15, 2021. I have grown up hearing from friends, family, and others that I was not Black enough. Black and white people always said I was "acting white, dressing white, and talking white." I have always felt this experience of othering in the Black community left significant emotional scars, but I was not able to articulate it until I became a therapist. People who feel they are too Black for white people and too white for Black people all have experienced some form of being scapegoated by their family. Like this video?

Hurricane Laura thrashes Louisiana (video)

ABC News; Reuters; AP.org/mail.com, 8/28/20; Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly


Bigger than Katrina, Laura thrashes Louisiana, as nearby states face tornado threats
Who cares? I'm trying to beat Blue and Black.
LAKE CHARLES, Louisiana — One of the strongest hurricanes ever to strike the U.S., "Laura" barreled across Louisiana on Thursday, shearing off roofs and killing at least six people while carving a destructive path hundreds of miles inland.

A full assessment of the damage wrought by the Category 4 system will likely take days, and the threat of additional damage looms as new tornado warnings were issued after dark in Arkansas and Mississippi even as the storm weakened into a tropical depression.



But despite a trail of demolished buildings, entire neighborhoods left in ruins, and almost 900,000 homes and businesses without power, a sense of relief prevailed that Laura was not the annihilating menace forecasters had feared.

“It is clear that we did not sustain and suffer the absolute, catastrophic damage that we thought was likely," Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said. “But we have sustained a tremendous amount of damage."

He called Laura the most powerful hurricane to strike Louisiana, meaning it surpassed even Katrina, which was a Category 3 storm when it hit in 2005. The storm toppled trees and damaged structures as far north as central Arkansas.

Laura’s top wind speed of 150 mph (241 kph) put it among the strongest systems on record in the U.S. Not until 11 hours after landfall did Laura finally lose hurricane status as it plowed north and thrashed Arkansas… More + PHOTOS

Mardi Gras 2020 live in New Orleans (video)

Mardi Gras 2020 in New Orleans: Parades, WWLTV live coverage


I don't eat meat during Lent. Flesh is bad.
Revelers dressed in costumes, exposing their breasts, and reaching for beads thrown from floats to entice them take to the streets on "Fat Tuesday" (mardi gras) in the New Orleans area when Carnival (Brazilian Carnaval, or "flesh festival," the Christian/Catholic carnal lust celebration of popular hedonism Roman-style) season reaches its climax.

Who was the historical Jesus of Nazareth?
Carnival season begins on Jan. 6 and ends on Fat Tuesday after weeks of balls, parades, and merriment. That solemn end is known as Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of imperial Roman Lent, a time of fasting. This does not mean no eating but no meat-eating: vegetarianism (now most weakly defined as non-red-meat-eating just on Fridays) used to mean a time of total vegetarianism and abstention from all other sin (or at least one sin) for 40 days in commemoration of the role model of the Christian world religion.

Going without flesh
Acceptable lust? No meat but sexual food images
Universal vegetarianism: The absence of "meat" (carne) is actually key to this Christian festival. The Carnival of Brazil (Portuguese Carnaval do Brasil) is an annual Brazilian festival held between the Friday afternoon before Ash Wednesday and Ash Wednesday at noon, which marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter.

During Lent, Roman Catholics and some other Christians traditionally abstained from the consumption of meat and poultry, hence the term "carnival," from carnelevare, "to remove (literally, raise) meat."

Mardi Gras ("Fat Tuesday") Meditation, Time...

(Terry Gross/NPR) Can Buddhist practices help us overcome the biological pull of dissatisfaction? Science journalist and author Robert Wright says that Buddhist enlightenment might help counteract our natural tendency towards unhappiness. His new book is Why Buddhism is True.

 
Dan Harris is a correspondent for ABC News and the co-anchor for the weekend edition of Good Morning America. He is on Coast to Coast tonight (Feb. 13, 2018) to talk about what he learned on his cross-country trip on a rock-star tour bus: He was helping average people maximize their potential using what science is finding:

MEDITATION can lower blood pressure, relieve depression and anxiety, and rewire key parts of the brain.

Intuitive Geoffrey Jowett is also on the show helping others on their journey to enlightenment by recognizing that each of us is part of "GOD" -- unlike what the Buddha taught -- and that our sole purpose in life is not to become enlightened and free ourselves and others from suffering but to perpetuate "divine love."

A real TIME TRAVELER?

 
Happy Black History Month - love, God
A self-proclaimed time traveler hailing from the year 2030 purportedly took a lie detector test to prove to skeptics that he is telling the truth.
 
Dubbed "Noah," the young man made headlines late last year when he "emerged from hiding" to share his fantastic story of journeying from the not-too-distant future back to our present day.

Angelic (deva) black babies of God
As one can imagine, his tale was met with considerable skepticism, leading to Noah making yet another video where he allegedly submits to a polygraph test.
 
However, much like his account of traveling through time, the update is also rather dubious since the video conveniently does not show the device which is supposedly testing him....is it confirmation that the young man really is from the future or a not-so-clever hoax?
Today is Fat Tuesday before Ash Wednesday


If one is Catholic (or many types of Western Christian), particularly French or French-colonial Catholic, today (Mardi Gras) and tomorrow (Ash Wednesday/Valentine's Day) are a big deal. South America (think Brazil) and the U.S. state of Louisiana really know how to party...and how to experience penitent guilt afterward.*

Costumes, beads, and music: Mardi Gras
Ash Wednesday? Ash everyday, tilaka (forehead mark) applied at Anu's wedding (A. Nijda)
.
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana - Families camped out from early morning to catch beads and stuffed animals thrown from float riders. Revelers took to the streets in elaborate or funny costumes evoking Marie Antoinette, Pres. Donny Trump and other glamorized "vampires" [parasitic demons]. Amused bystanders took in the chaotic scene and annual American ritual from lawn chairs. More

Hindu custom appropriated by Catholicism
*ASH WEDNESDAY
This is a fasting (Christian vegetarian) day, the first day of Lent in Western Christianity.

It occurs 46 days (40 fasting days with six non-fasting Sundays) before Easter (the Dionysian worship of the fertility Goddess Ēostre and  searching for mushrooms/rabbit "eggs" all over the ground).

It falls as early as Feb. 4 and as late as March 10. Ash Wednesday is observed by many Western Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, and some Baptists.
 
Why? According to the canonical Christian gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus Christ (the Bodhisattva Issa) spent 40 days fasting in the desert, where he endured temptation by his enemy Satan/Mara. Lent originated as a mirroring of this, fasting 40 days as preparation for Easter. More

Warrant: Officers kill, lie on documents
Paramilitary sheriff: obey or else (AP)
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana - A search warrant for surveillance video from the Triple S Food mart store where a black Louisiana man, Alton Sterling, was killed by white police officers a week ago says that officers saw "the butt of a gun" in Alton Sterling's pocket during the arrest and that he tried "to reach for the gun from his pocket."

[This and such statements allows police to kill civilians with impunity. As long as they tell the court or fellow police investigator that they believed they saw that, no crime has been committed. They have not only the right to kill nonwhite innocents but the duty so that they "make it home to their family that night."]

Although ALL lives matter, the U.S. treats black lives as if they don't. But they do (AP).

The Justice Department has opened a federal civil rights investigation of Sterling's death in Baton Rouge.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said in a statement that he won't have access to the federal investigation on the shooting until it's completed and a decision has been made on potential federal charges.

DC: We're soldiers not mere police (AP)
Moore, the local district attorney, said the Justice Department would rather not have "parallel investigations." "It's better that DOJ do their work. They're completely independent [wink-wink], from nowhere around here [because if they're from elsewhere they would never side with police]," he said.

Moore also said he's recusing himself from any state criminal investigation into the shooting death of Sterling. More
