190-Year-Old #Tortoise Becomes the World’s #Oldest Living #Animal

Jonathan the tortoise has just recently passed his 190th birthday, making him the oldest animal currently alive. For the past 140 years, Jonathan has been living on the #amazing #island of #SaintHelena located in the #South #Atlantic #Ocean. The tortoise is so old that not even those who look after it are sure of its #history. Especially from 1900 to 1902 when Saint Helen became a camp for prisoners of war.

Who were some ex-#Confederates arrested and tried for treason?

No one.

Because #secession was never treason. The government knew it then. And knows it now.

The #South and her people were illegally and unconstitutionally invaded after asking only “to go in peace” and to simply “be left alone” and defended itself from that unlawful invasion.

How can that be treason.

A quotation by Jefferson, Thomas

He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the christian king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) American political philosopher, polymath, statesman, US President (1801-09)

“Declaration of Independence,” original rough draft (Jun 1776)

Trade rows push China, Russia closer

By Chen Qingqing in Vladivostok Source:Global Times Published: 2018/9/10 23:18:39

Farms in Russian Far East could replace US soybean crop

China and Russia are expected to enhance their economic ties in the Russian Far East amid the ongoing #US-China trade frictions, with help from the Russian federal government's ambitious plan to attract more Chinese investment, especially in #agriculture and #manufacturing.

The Russian government has rolled out new industrial policies in recent years for its Far Eastern region including the establishment of Advanced Special Economic Zones (ASEZ), a free trade port and a special administrative zone, where investors enjoy favorable policies such as low taxes and land rental fees.

Under the plan, local authorities have accelerated the construction of an industrial park in #Vladivostok, with the aim of attracting more foreign investment from #China, #Japan and #South #Korea. Three Chinese companies have acquired dozens of parcels land in the Vladivostok industrial park, where they intend to run logistics and seafood production businesses.

Bilateral trade between China and #Russia maintained double-digit growth in 2018, and is expected to reach $100 billion by the end of this year, according to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce website.

"Russia's abundant natural resources have been luring foreign investors into sectors such as lumber production, agriculture and fisheries, and Russia's economic policy for the Far Eastern region has provided a new impetus," Chen Gang, CEO of STO Express' Russia subsidiary, told the Global Times on Sunday.

Chinese President #Xi #Jinping will attend the fourth Eastern Economic Forum from Tuesday to Wednesday in Vladivostok at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir #Putin, Xinhua reported on Friday.

"This is another major diplomatic activity in #Sino-Russian relations this year. It is China's strong support for the #development of Russia and the Russian Far East. It will further enhance Sino-Russian bilateral relations, strengthen #international and regional strategic cooperation between the two countries," Yan Wenbin, Chinese Consul General in Vladivostok, said in an interview with Russian media on Friday.
