National Geographic Channel’s “Mars: Making the New Earth”
Published by space and astronomy, 10 June 2017
In National Geographic Channel’s “Mars: Making the New Earth”, award winning writer/producer Mark Davis and legendary Mars animator Dan Maas collaborate with McKay on the first in depth visualization of what it would take to turn a cold, dead planet into a living world.
Elon Musk wants to build a metropolis on Mars starting in 2024.
While the eternal Kraut snubs Majorityrights for not promoting Hitler, while it tries to gaslight and smear me with anything it can for that, it can’t help itself with its mechanistic rule following ad absurdem, whether Hitler or Merkel, whether the final solution to the J.Q. that somehow includes wiping-out half of Europe, including Germany as well, or raising a million Euro with its Jewish friends for a sister ship of its NGO’s to haul genetic replacement into Europe….
Cooperation with the DNA Nations to preserve our species? No, we wouldn’t do that. You don’t love Hitler and Jesus. You are not some scientistic rule following dolt.
But help like this? Sure: The NGO Racket…

More than €1m raised for rescue ship captain detained in Italy
Two online campaigns to help the German captain of a rescue ship under house arrest in Italy have between them raised more than €1m.
Carola Rackete’s arrest on Saturday, after she forced her way into port in Lampedusa carrying migrants and refugees she had rescued off Libya, prompted a fundraising appeal by two prominent German TV stars that by Tuesday morning had raised €917,195 from more than 33,000 donors.
A second campaign, started by an Italian anti-fascist group on Facebook, had raised a further €433,993 by Tuesday, well over the page’s stated goal of €349,000, bringing the total raised in support of Rackete to more than €1.3m.
“The wave of solidarity is wonderful,” Ruben Neugebauer, a spokesman for Rackete’s migrant rescue NGO Sea-Watch, told Spiegel Online. “We certainly also need the money.”
The funds will go towards paying Rackete’s legal fees if charges are brought against her. Otherwise, Neugebauer said, the NGO would need about €1m to buy and equip a new ship if Rackete’s vessel, Sea-Watch-3, remained out of action.
The German and French governments have ramped up their criticism of Italy over its handling of the case. France accused Italy on Tuesday of acting hysterically over immigration and failing to live up to its duties.
“I think that basically the Italian government has not been up to the task,” a government spokeswoman, Sibeth Ndiaye, told France’s BFM-TV. “Mr Matteo Salvini’s behaviour has not been acceptable as far as I am concerned. This is a painful subject, a complex subject which the EU and France have previously been in solidarity with Italy over.”
Salvini, who heads the ... League party, Italy’s largest political force, responded: “My behaviour regarding immigration is unacceptable? The French government should stop with these insults and open its ports.”
German politicians have also criticised Italy’s treatment of Rackete, in the first signs of a public pushback against Italy’s criminalisation of migrant rescue vessels in the Mediterranean.
“Italy isn’t any old nation,” said Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, in an unusually candid interview with the broadcaster ZDF aired on Sunday evening. “Italy is in the middle of the European Union, a founding state of the European Union. And therefore we should be able to expect a nation such as Italy to deal with a case like this in a different way.”
The foreign minister, Heiko Maas, went a step further, demanding that the Italian authorities set Rackete free. “From our perspective, only the release of Carola Rackete can come at the end of a procedure based on the rule of law,” Maas tweeted on Monday. “I will make that clear to Italy once again.”
Germany has said it will keep up diplomatic pressure on Italy over the case.
Ancient Polish grave could reveal a chilling 5,000-year-old story of how men returned from a hunt to find the women and children of their extended family had been ruthlessly massacred.
- A mass grave of 15 individuals, mostly women and children, was found in 2011
- The remains were part of the same, extended family and they died violently
- It is thought the men of the village were away when an attack was launched

A prehistoric burial site has revealed the brutal massacre of the women and children of a large family in Poland 4,800 years ago. That’s the theory of researchers who have analysed the remains of a group of 15 prehistoric people uncovered near the village of Koszyce (just northeast of Krakow).
The tragic burial site is strangely lacking adult men and experts believe the women and children in the grave were murdered while the men were away.
They suggest they returned from a trip, perhaps a hunting expedition, to find their families slaughtered at the hands of a violent rival group.
The surviving warriors carefully arranged the remains of their loved ones , with mothers cradling their children and accompanied with jewellery and pets.

Excavations in 2011 uncovered the mass grave and the smashed bones and caved skulls within revealed their violent deaths.
Analysis of the bones of the dead showed they all came from a group of interrelated families who lived around 2800 BC
Four of the women were buried alongside their children and, of the few men in the pit, four were half-brothers. The heart-ache for those who buried the slaughtered family members is expressed in how they are positioned, researchers suggest.

Genome analysis found the people to be farmers and the research, published in PNAS, says the Corded Ware people may have been to blame for the heinous act.
The groups shared DNA but the Corded Ware society was thriving and expanding rapidly across Europe, and this may have led to the slaughter of the neighbouring people.
The Corded Ware people are believed to have interbred and merged with the Yamnaya folk, who have recently been heralded as the most violent group of people to ever live.
Yamnaya culture emerged roughly 5,00 years ago in the European steppe and spread rapidly across the rest of the continent, destroying cultures and interbreeding.
Ancient DNA reveals these migrants were well nourished, tall and muscular. Some archaeologists also argue that the warrior tribe consisted of skilled horsemen.
‘It looks like they lived mostly on meat and milk products,’ Kristian Kristiansen at the University of Gothenburg told New Scientist. ‘They were healthier and probably physically quite strong
The globular Amphora people lived between 3400 and 2800 BC in central Europe.
They existed at the same time as the Corded Ware people and the Yamnaya.
They were farmers by trade, raiding livestock - especially pigs.
The settlements they lived in may have been small, rudimentary and temporary, researchers have found.
The culture had impressive burials, with large pits and gifts to accompany the dead.
These would often include animal remains and sacrifices.
It shared DNA with the Corded Ware society which was thriving and expanding rapidly across Europe.
These people also bred and mingled with the invading Yamnaya from the west, who were ruthlessly efficient muscular killers that swept across the continent.
The Lies Will Try to Live (but they’re not White, they’re Jewish), Abrahamic universalism and interchangeability at work through a Christian woman with mixed race kids and a Mulatto...
At 16:42: Ruth, a.k.a., “Vivian Veritas” a.k.a. The Truth Will Live” (the lies will try to live, but they’re not White, they’re Jewish), refers to Melchy Zedek in the chat for friendly prompting. I had been suspicious of Melchy Zedek ever since I undertook to discuss the DNA Nations and disentangle Jewish language games (notably against “the left”) with Ecce Lux, and Melchy immediately tried to argue against it and propose Christianity instead. Maybe I misunderstand Melchy and he has good but naive intentions…
Anyway, (((Ruth))), a.k.a., “Vivian Veritas” a.k.a. The Truth Will Live”, says at 16:42:
“Well Melchy said in that chat and this is funny because I was actually going to mention it…. he mentioned MTV.
And it’s funny, because I was actually going to mention Brittany Spears.
It’s kinda funny, I didn’t realize until recently, how actually controversial Brittany Spears was kind of first coming onto the scene…
..and actually like, I went back and watched some of her videos….
like some of the early ones are actually petty tame.”
It is so predictable that Ruth would say that (didn’t you just know she would say that? ....“pretty tame”).
... Brittany Spears going on about how her loneliness is killing her and passively acting like she can’t help herself as a giant black guy slam-dunks a basketball…
Vivian (Ruth) adds, “I don’t think religion should be about your people (race)”...
“Dissident Discourse /w Majority Rights - Ethnocentrism Extravaganza”
The title would probably more accurately read “Daniels Speaks with Faustian Spirit”, who, with the help of a bit of right wing trolling from the chat, “an extravaganza” of right wing trolling, offers up challenges to the platform that DanielS is promoting. I was expecting a more unfettered occasion to set out some ideas, and not particularly delighted to deal with challenges from right wingers, particularly those advocating Christianity/Jesus, Nazism/Hitler, Scientism/Might Makes Right etc., but with Faustians’ platform of Dissident Discourse and his obvious concern for our common cause and enemies of the interests of European peoples, the underlying will is good to allow our discourse to move on its course to agreement, alignment and coordination.

Tags: speciation mechanisms inbreeding group level selection extinction mutation load
Abstract:
Whilst the principle of adaptive evolution is unanimously recognised as being caused by the process of natural selection favouring the survival and/or reproduction of individuals having acquired new advantageous traits, a consensus has proven much harder to find regarding the actual origin of species. Indeed, since speciation corresponds to the establishment of reproductive barriers, it is difficult to see how it could bring a selective advantage because it amounts to a restriction in the opportunities to breed with as many and/or as diverse partners as possible. In this regard, Darwin himself did not believe that reproductive barriers could be selected for, and today most evolutionary biologists still believe that speciation can only occur through a process of separation allowing two populations to diverge sufficiently to become infertile with one another. I do, however, take the view that, if so much speciation has occurred, and still occurs around us, it cannot be a consequence of passive drift but must result from a selection process, whereby it is advantageous for groups of individuals to reproduce preferentially with one another and reduce their breeding with the rest of the population.
In this essay, I propose a model whereby new species arise by “budding” from an ancestral stock, via a process of inbreeding among small numbers of individuals, driven by the occurrence of advantageous recessive mutations. Since the phenotypes associated to such mutations can only be retained in the context of inbreeding, it is the pressure of the ancestral stock which will promote additional reproductive barriers, and ultimately result in complete separation of a new species. I thus contend that the phenomenon of speciation would be driven by mutations resulting in the advantageous loss of certain functions, whilst adaptive evolution would correspond to gains of function that would, most of the time be dominant.
A very important further advantage of inbreeding is that it reduces the accumulation of recessive mutations in genomes. A consequence of the model proposed is that the existence of species would correspond to a metastable equilibrium between inbreeding and outbreeding, with excessive inbreeding promoting speciation, and excessive outbreeding resulting in irreversible accumulation of recessive mutations that could ultimately only lead to the species extinction.
