‘ROCK HARD SKELETONS RESIST CLIMATE CHANGE, according to articles in Rutgers University News 8 April 2021, SciTech Daily 18 April 2021 and, Journal of the Royal Society Interface, 24 February 2021, doi: 10.1098/rsif.2020.0859. Coral reefs are formed as coral animals lay down a hard rock-like material that consists of the mineral aragonite, a type of calcium carbonate, along with various organic molecules including proteins, lipids and sugars. The process of making this combination of minerals and organic molecules is called biomineralization. Scientists at Rutgers University carried out detailed studies of proteins in the mineralised skeleton of a coral named Stylophora pistillata and found they were not just a random mix in a mineral matrix. They found over 20 different proteins forming a highly organised intricate network, consisting of a framework built by collagens, fibronectin and laminin that supports calcium binding proteins that form the aragonite crystals.
They concluded: “These spatial arrangements clearly show that protein–protein interactions in coral skeletons are highly coordinated and are key to understanding the formation and persistence of coral skeletons through time”. Manjula Mummadisetti, who led the study, explained “It’s important to understand the mechanisms of coral biomineralization and how these invaluable animals persist during the era of anthropogenic climate change”. Another scientist in the study, Paul Falkowski commented: “Our findings suggest that corals will withstand climate change caused by human activities, based on the precision, robustness and resilience of their impressive process for forming rock-hard skeletons.”

ED. COM. The process of forming coral skeletons is certainly impressive. The minerals give them hardness, fibrous proteins such as collagen which give them resilience, but these must be organised in a way that make best use of the properties of both. We have long known that mineralised organic structures, such as shells and our own bones, get their strength from the way the components are organised as much as from the substances they are made from. The result is a structure that is hard and rigidly holds its shape, but resists being cracked and broken by strong forces acting on it. It is no surprise that coral skeletons have the same highly organised robust structure as they live in an environment of where they are constantly exposed to strong forces from moving water. Anyone caught in a rip or knocked over by a wave in the surf knows what a powerful force moving water can be. This is why coral skeletons and fossil corals resist erosion and weathering long after death.
It seems that to get anything reported in the popular media these days it has to be linked with climate change. The original scientific report has a passing reference to climate change in the introduction, but nothing in the results or conclusion, which concentrate on describing the brilliant organisation of the coral skeleton proteins. However, the news released all revolve around climate change, with the inevitable claim that it is caused by human activity. In their obsession with climate change these researchers and media reporters are missing the real point – an intricately organised structure needs an organiser. The Creator who made the first coral animals programmed into their DNA the information for making the proteins and the control functions for laying them down in the right spatial arrangement to give the mineralised skeletons the strength and resilience needed to live in the environment He placed them in. Coral reefs, living and fossil, are more rock-solid evidence of creative design.’https://creationresearch.net/

‘Moderna currently has a trial ongoing with children between the ages of 12 and 17 with about 3000 participants, and apparently one of those participants, a 12-year-old girl named “Maddie,” is now paralyzed from the waist down, and reportedly is now suffering from an inability to urinate on her own, a bowel obstruction, excruciating pain, fainting episodes and other neurological problems.’https://rumble.com/vftyc5-12-year-old-girl-paralyzed-and-injured-in-moderna-covid-19-vaccine-trial.html?mref=6zof&mc=dgip3&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=HealthImpactNews&ep=2
Was Police Officer Derek Chauvin ever going to get an unbiased fair trial? Consider, what is a fair trial? ‘In the U.S., the right to a fair trial is secured by the Fourteenth Amendment as a fundamental liberty. A fair trial is a legal trial conducted according to the rules of common law. In a fair trial, the accused’s legal rights are safeguarded and respected. A fair trial hears before it condemns. The trial proceeds on inquiry and renders judgment only after trial. In a fair trial, jurors are to be entirely indifferent as to the parties at the outset. The necessary elements of a fair trial are an adequate hearing and an impartial tribunal, free from any interest, bias, or prejudice. A fair trial presupposes full justice within human limitations. [Box v. State, 74 Ark. App. 82, 88-89 (Ark. Ct. App. 2001)].’https://definitions.uslegal.com/f/fair-trial/
When Fake President Biden, Out of the Swamp Waters and other Leftists spewed forth their vitirol hatred Pre-Trial was it ever going to be FAIR?
‘Everything about the Chauvin trial and the media coverage of it showcases the subversion and transformation of our justice system into one of a third-world banana republic.
We can’t have a justice system that is ruled by threats of violence, doxxing, and harassment from the domestic terrorists in the mainstream media, on the streets, and in the Democratic party.
That’s not how civilized societies function, it’s how third-world countries function. If you import the third-world, don’t be surprised when your country becomes the third-world.
If you are caught in the censored echo chambers of Big Tech platforms, chances are you missed most of the stories I’ve gathered below. If you are trapped inside the Big Media echo chambers, you’ve been spoon-fed what the oligarchs want you to see and hear about the trial.
That’s why I’ve taken the time to curate a collection of stories for you so you can save them and never forget how this all played out.

Compare what is happening in our streets right now and what is being said by our “leaders” to what happened with peaceful protestors at the Capitol on January 6th. Compare the media coverage and the reaction to it. Compare how the Officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt was treated by both the media and our “justice system.”
We still don’t even know his name!
Half of the country lives in reality and the other half lives in a bubble world of fear and loathing handcrafted by the oligarch elites. One side plays by one set of rules, the other plays by no rules at all.
This is a serious problem and it’s not getting better anytime soon. Our nation needs prayer and we as individuals must cling to the hope, peace, and Biblical justice of the Holy Spirit.
“Conservative” courts and judges mean nothing if our justice system is ruled by a mob of domestic terrorists. The rule of law means nothing if there are one set of rules for half of the country and a different set of rules for the other. Nothing about what we are seeing unfold right now is “justice” in any sense of the word and it certainly is not “normal.”
It’s anarcho-tyranny.
How long are we going to put up with it?’https://news.gab.com/2021/04/20/the-new-normal-a-justice-system-ruled-by-the-mob/
‘Today Apple announced that they would be allowing Establishment Oligarch-owned Parler back on the Apple App Store. This comes after Parler ousted their pro-free speech CEO and Founder John Matze, who claims that his 40% stake in the company was stolen from him. After removing Matze Parler implemented a “troll filter” to censor “trolling content,” whatever that means.
Bloomberg reported that Parler is working with third-party artificial intelligence software company Hive to automatically censor and remove content that Apple doesn’t like. Hive works with other Big Tech companies like Reddit to leverage artificial intelligence to censor content at scale.
Shortly after this news, conservative firebrand Dan Bongino announced on his show that he is “no longer involved in the day-to-day” of Parler, which left the company at the whims of Billionaire Oligarch Rebekah Mercer.
The same Mercer family behind the atrocious privacy nightmare of Cambridge Analytica. The same people who threw Milo under the bus. The same people who threw Steve Bannon under the bus. The same people who threw Parler Founder and Former CEO John Matze under the bus. The same people who threw President Trump under the bus.
So in essence Parler is now a smaller version of Twitter for Fox News pundits to “echo” each other into oblivion and for the Mercer family to gather data on you.
“Conservatives” are celebrating Parler’s capitulation to Apple and transformation into a de facto Big Tech-controlled social network as a “win.” Big Tech’s arbitrary censorship standards are now being applied across Parler by the same artificial intelligence company that Big Tech platforms use, but you won’t find any “conservative” pundits bringing this fact up.
This is why the right continually gets steamrolled in the culture. Conceding to the Enemy’s demands in order to participate in the Enemy’s app stores is not a win for conservatives or the right in general. It’s a PR win for Apple, who hopes to get Republicans in Congress off their back. The Mercer’s may see this as a win, but The People will not. Not the smart ones who see through the grift and pathetic weakness.
The People want one thing: to speak freely online without permission from some billionaire oligarch–be it the Mercers or Mark Zuckerberg. They certainly don’t want to be policed by AI.
Parler had all the money in the world, all the “influencers” in the world, all the mainstream support from Fox News, members of Congress, and the Conservative Inc Machine. None of it mattered. Getting back on the App Store won’t matter either.
Parler bent the knee and Big Tech has them under their thumb. No amount of shilling by Fox News pundits is going to change that fact. No amount of money spent trying to bring people back to have their speech policed by some robot is going to work.
Gab stands alone in the market as the leader and home of free speech online. Not only was Gab’s app banned from both App Stores, but our entire Developer Account was banned from ever submitting apps to those stores ever again. So be it, we wear that as a badge of honor and it should be a sign to those of you reading this that we are and always have been serious about our mission.
Our mission is a simple one and has remained unchanged for almost five years now: we want everyone on this planet to speak freely on the internet without permission from Establishment Oligarchs.
We refuse to bend the knee to Big Tech and never will.’https://news.gab.com/2021/04/19/parler-bends-the-knee-to-big-tech/
Australia’s Federal government is supposed to be conservative and the PM a Christian! However, neither seem to be what they claim for if they were they would not throw money down a bottomless hole that is simply a foolish WOKE ‘…federally funded campaign to educate students about consent using bizarre analogies – including a milkshake- has been widely criticised, including by the Victorian Education Minister. The $3.7 million federally funded program is all about teaching school-aged students about consent, however, it has been widely panned.

Will any of the China virus vaccines stop you from getting the China virus? Doesn’t seem like it! The so-called bubble between Australia and NZ just opened and ‘New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the infection of a Kiwi border worker is a COVID-19 event anticipated by both her government and the Australian government as two-way travel resumes between the two nations. An Auckland airport worker tested positive for COVID-19, but the New Zealand government has reassured Australia is it confident the trans-Tasman bubble will remain open. “When we opened on both sides we of course knew that we would continue to have cases connected to our border,” she said. “We accept that’s going to be part of our journey together, I think Australia accepts that and I think for both sides we’re always looking for clear connection to the border, in this case there is.” She said while she had not spoken to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the countries’ health ministers had been in contact. Ms Ardern also confirmed authorities had established the worker was a cleaner on board aircraft that had flown into New Zealand from “coronavirus countries” labelled “red zones.” The worker was fully vaccinated.‘https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6249435498001?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter&utm_content=Daily%20Sky%20News%20Australia%20%20Newsletter+CID_4333a8261f2490a2ccad1d26734eb96c&utm_source=Daily%20newsletter&utm_term=Border%20infection%20anticipated%20by%20NZ%20and%20Australian%20governments

‘Publishing tycoon Jimmy Lai Chee-ying was jailed for 14 months on Friday in back-to-back sentencing for his role in two illegal protests during Hong Kong’s anti-government unrest in 2019, while four former opposition lawmakers who joined one or both demonstrations were also sent to prison.
Democratic Party founding chairman Martin Lee Chu-ming was given an 11-month suspended sentence for joining one of the protests, an unauthorised march on August 18, 2019, while veteran democrat and barrister Margaret Ng Ngoi-yee was also spared jail in a 12-month suspended sentence.
The jail sentences of eight to 18 months for five out of 10 opposition figures who appeared at West Kowloon Court marked the toughest punishments to date for Hong Kong’s most prominent pan-democratic politicians over the mass protests that rocked the city for a year.’https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3129844/hong-kong-protests-jimmy-lai-jailed-one-year-over-2019?utm_medium=email&utm_source=mailchimp&utm_campaign=enlz-gme_national_security_law&utm_content=20210419&tpcc=enlz-national_security_law&MCUID=6ece799d24&MCCampaignID=5fca66c286&MCAccountID=7b1e9e7f8075914aba9cff17f&tc=1

Sadly, many universities in the West are doing exactly what the CCP wants its universities to do. What’s that? ‘China’s universities should aim to train a new generation loyal to the socialist cause and with an inquisitive and innovative mindset, President Xi Jinping said on Monday.
“This year will mark the centenary of the Communist Party … the party and the state’s need for higher education, for knowledge and science and great talent, is greater than at any time before,” he said during a trip to Tsinghua University in Beijing, according to state news agency Xinhua.
He added that the aim of China’s education system is to train the “builders and successors” of socialism.Xi, an alumni of the university, made the trip as the Communist Party ramps up its preparations for the celebration of the party’s centenary on July 1.
The anniversary is Beijing’s most important political event this year and Xi has promised a “grand celebration” to mark the occasion.
