The Russian leader, in a seven-minute televised address to the nation aired Wednesday morning, also warned the West that he isn't bluffing over using all the means at his disposal to protect Russia's territory, in what appeared to be a veiled reference to Russia’s nuclear capability. Putin has previously warned the West not to back Russia against the wall and has rebuked NATO countries for supplying weapons to help Ukraine.

Seeley addresses the subject in the last chapter of his book “The Lives of Bees: The Untold Story of the Honey Bee in the Wild.” The term “Darwinian beekeeping” is a nod to Charles Darwin’s principle that natural selection over time gives species the ability to survive and reproduce.

“If you let an animal live naturally, it is able to use its full toolbox and set of skills to survive and reproduce,” says Seeley, who has been studying honeybees in the wild in the Arnot Forest outside of Ithaca, N.Y. “But when you take any kind of animal and you force it to live in a different way, those tools aren’t allowed to function very well.” 1663852556434.jpeg

Actually, the world has always been in terrible condition. Always on the brink of destruction/collapse.

In my grandfather's day they struggled through the Great Depression then 5 years of WWI, murderous trench warfare. Many millions died.

Immediately after WWI, the Spanish Flu ravaged the world, est of 30-50 million dead.

Then came the rise of Communism and Nazism.

In my father's day WWII, millions more died in war, many millions were just murdered.

Need I mention the Cold War, Korea, and Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Middle East wars?

In fact, go back throughout history and you'll find wars, slavery, poverty, disease......ad nauseum.....

So, my question is, "When has the world been in good condition?" I don't believe that you'll find any such time.

Things were pretty good for me from 2016 to 2020. Job was good, finances were good, no war, no famine, no inflation.

My question is, "What do you do every day to make the world a better place to live?" I'll narrow that down a bit. " What do you do every day to make your world a better place to live?"

My grandfather always said.

You can't change yesterday.
Tomorrow will never come.
Your life begins when you open your eyes in the morning, and ends when you close them at night. Enjoy every moment your eyes are open.

I have been helping this orphanage in Kenya. A few weeks ago they were desperate, they had no food, no blankets, and no medicine. I told them I had no money so we needed to pray. I said you have 78 kids, get them to pray the Lord will hear this cry. A few days later that same week a check was deposited into my account from NY. They said they had recalculated my retirement and realized they still owed me some money. I contacted the brother at the orphanage and asked how much he needed. He started itemizing things and I said, everything, how much do you need for everything. He came back a little while later with a number and It was how much I had been given. So I told him, you got it, tell the kids the Lord hears their prayers.

He just sent me a video today of them receiving all the stuff (I wired the money, these things take time). I'm trying to figure out how to share this video with others, if you message me I'll forward his email to your email so you can watch.

God is always there to make every day the best day of our lives. Most of the time we fail to call on Him to do so.

What about GB? King Charles probably controls more property than anyone except maybe Putin? Some few years ago Putin offered Siberian property to, suckers,..nyet, nyet, nyet, comrades' at crazy low prices. And MBS controls some nice desert property.

It appears the more rights that are stripped from the people, the worse the country (and the world) are doing. I believe one of the first shots to our liberty (in my lifetime) started with George Bush signing "the Patriot Act"... There is a trend to call an act or a bill the exact OPPOSITE of what it really is.

Welcome aboard EndQualifiedImmunity. I personally don't follow 'politics' or world events that closely and I have been on this site since the 11th of this month and see there a many viewpoints and maybe not just opposing since most folks on this site are trying to come to better understanding of what and how we should relate to the Savior Jesus Christ. I have been trying to figure it out on my own by reading the Bible and was listening to preachers on tv and internet for maybe 4 yrs and then came across this very helpful site. I made the post about the property as it seems I read a fairly believable site about the king of GB only at the time it was the Queen.

This is so ironic it is in fact HILARIOUS. It is the UN chief and his gang of thugs, along with the World Economic Forum, that has actually put the world in "great peril".

So here's the solution: (1) Totally dissolve the useless United Nations Organization and save trillions of dollars, (2) arrest Klaus Schwab of the WEF and his cronies, dissolve the WEF, and lock them up indefinitely, (3) send the Spetsnaz to arrest Biden and his gang of thugs, (4) send the Special Forces to arrest Zelensky and his gang of thugs, and (5) put Putin on notice that one more aggressive move from Russia will mean the total obliteration of the Kremlin. The world is looking at thugs on every side, and Boris Johnson was the one who sabotaged a peace deal for Ukraine early this year.

Actually Biden and his administration are directly responsible for Putin's attack on Ukraine. Ukraine had eight years to ensure that Russia would not ever move against Ukraine. So what did Biden do? He actually undermined the rule of law in Ukraine (along with Hunter Biden) and then egged Putin to attack Ukraine, in order to hide his own involvement in the destruction of Ukraine.

Most wont know who Thomas D. Seeley even is nor will they have read Honeybee Democracy so I suggest it also as a good read(first of his works I read) ... https://hadinur1969.files.wordpress...seeley-honeybee_democracy_-princeton_univ.pdf
