According to conventional #history, #NewZealand is the last major landmass on Earth to be settled by humans. This distant island, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, remained uninhabited until the first Polynesians, the Māori, arrived around 1300 AD.

However, a remarkable discovery was made on the North Island of New Zealand, one which can completely shatter our established understanding of the region's #ancient history. Within the dense vegetation of the Kaimanawa Ranges lies a large #megalithic structure known as the Kaimanawa #Wall, a formation of stones so precisely fitted together that it has ignited a fervent debate about its origins, challenging our understanding of New Zealand's prehistoric past.

The wall itself is characterized by a series of tightly fitted stones, which, at first glance, appear to have been placed with precision. The stones are massive, with some estimates suggesting that they weigh several tons each. It was determined that the stones were 330,000 years old and were made of ignimbrite, a volcanic stone made of compressed sand and ash.

The nearest outcrop of such stone is 3 miles away or five kilometers. This aspect alone has fueled speculation about the level of sophistication required to assemble such a structure, should it have been the work of human hands. Upon closer examination, the arrangement of the stones reveals an almost geometric precision. The stones align in a manner that suggests an intentional pattern, with straight lines and angles that are uncommon in natural rock formations.

The Western Wall, known in the West as the Wailing Wall, and in Islam as the Buraq Wall, is a portion of ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem that forms part of the larger retaining wall of the hill known to Jews and Christians as the Temple Mount.

massive plasma wall around our solar system

enter image description here

It’s unclear how difficult this #wall of #hot #plasma will make #interstellar travel, once we decide to go beyond Mars and eventually leave our #solarsystem, but considering both Voyager 2, and even Voyager 1 (also launched in ’77) made it through OK, it seems like at least our interstellar ships wouldn’t be too negatively affected. Although it’s unclear how the plasma wall will affect we #biological #beings. Regardless, the discovery is exciting because, as JPL notes, this is the “cosmic shoreline… where the environment created by our #Sun ends and the vast ocean of interstellar space begins.”

Oh! No! Not the stupid - fucking Texas Border Wall again!
October 5 2023
McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The Biden administration announced they waived 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction on Wednesday, marking the administration's first use of a sweeping executive power employed often during the Trump presidency.

"The Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act were some of the federal laws waived by DHS to make way for construction that will use funds from a congressional appropriation in 2019 for border wall construction. The waivers avoid time-consuming reviews and lawsuits challenging violation of environmental laws."

DHS= Division of Homeland Security = An abusive-nightmare government creation of the Republican George W. Bush era.
Oh yeah. Sure. It's the fascist way to do things. The laws get in the way - just eliminate the laws! Sickening!!!

Deutlich später, andere Fragmente: Falter als dunkle Schatten unter Laternen, hektisch gespenstisch. Ältere Jugend am Dönergrill, derber Humor im Ausverhandeln der Rangfolge zumindest für die Zeit bis zum Morgen. Manche werden im blinkenden Nachtleben verschwinden, andere in der engen Heimat der angrenzenden Häuser. Etwas weiter duftet es nach Grillfeuer und warnen Kartoffeln. Auf dem Balkon über der Kreuzung brennt ein halbes Dutzend Windlichter. Genug Ruhelosigkeit heute in dee Nachbarschaft, nicht nur gewollt, aber auch.
