Nan Madol. Pohnpei, Micronesia. 96 completely artificial islands structurally enforced with megalithic columnar basalt and backfilled with coral. Most of these islands are unexplored and wholly inaccessible to this day due to the dense mangrove forests that have overtaken them. What... was this place?

I am in Turks and Caicos Islands, where I am meeting with a contingent from the Jamaica Constabulary Force. These officers have been instrumental in helping to reduce crime here in the islands. Our officers are exceptionally well trained, and their presence here is a testament to that training. The Government of the islands is pleased with the work these officers have been doing under the leadership of Commissioner Fitz Bailey. I had the pleasure of inspecting our officers and speaking with them about the important work they have been carrying out here.

What if I told you that forests hidden in our oceans may be more valuable than many forests on land ? Coral reefs, seagrass meadows and seaweed forests are among Earth’s most important ecosystems. Coral reefs cover just 0.1% of the ocean floor yet support nearly 25% of all marine species and the livelihoods of 500 million people. Seagrass meadows support about 20% of global fisheries and can store up to 140 tonnes of carbon per hectare. Seaweed forests generate billions in economic value. However there is deep crisis unfolding underwater. UN Environment Programme and the IPCC warn that up to 90% of the world’s coral reefs could disappear by 2050, while seagrass meadows and other blue carbon ecosystems continue to decline. Tamil Nadu is at the forefront of marine conservation. With more than 77% of India’s seagrass meadows in the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar, the State is restoring seagrass, coral reefs, mangroves and islands with World Bank Group such as Kariyachalli to secure the future of dugongs, sea turtles, seahorses and countless marine species. On #WorldOceansDay, we must do our bit to conserve these marine forests. #OceansDay #WorldOceanDay

Japan confirmed that the Senkaku Islands are uninhabited and that there are no traces of domination by any other country, and incorporated them into Okinawa in 1895, making them Japanese territory from the beginning. This is in accordance with international law. #SenkakuIslands

This is how #Santorini was created as the islands of Thirassia and Aspronisi are remnants of the volcanic island of Strongyli. The central part of which was blown up with the crater of the volcano during the Minoan eruption that took place in 1613 BC, creating the caldera.

The biggest loss for the United Arab Emirates from the Pakistan-brokered ceasefire between Iran and the United States is that they failed to seize the three Iranian islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb near the Strait of Hormuz—an objective they had hoped to achieve in the event of a U.S.-led maritime offensive and ground invasion of Iran. These islands were central to their efforts to persuade U.S. President Trump to capture them, with the aim of gaining full control over the Strait of Hormuz. Now, with the ceasefire and the potential end of the U.S.-Israeli war against the Islamic regime of Iran, their ambitions to control these islands have been ruined. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

CHINA CLAIMS THE BATANES ISLANDS Ray Powell of SeaLight EXPOSES China's recent "pretext to escalation" by publically staking CLAIM to the Batanes Islands in the northernest tip of the Philippines as part of their territory, with the communists of Beijing convening a bunch of fake scholars to justify why they own islands that for centuries was long regarded as part of the Philippines. He was speaking just a short time ago at the National West Philippine Sea Summit in Manila. This is disgusting provocation by Beijing. Filipinos must condemn this and talk about it more with righteous fury. WPS Foundation

This is what they have been doing the whole day . Picking up the trash and segregating them with so much discipline. It pains me to think that these people are not shown any ounce of kindness by the state. #ChennaiSanitaryWorkersProtest

Nick laments the erasure of White communities in America that have been replaced by migrants. “They don't respect this place. They don't treat it with dignity. (…) To them, these are just buildings, (…) and yet we are supposed to care about them?” - Nick Fuentes

As I predicted, we now have a completely unnecessary death due to these violent ICE raids and dangerous reactions to them. The courts and a jury will sort this one out in 24 months, but we should all be profoundly sad that it’s come to this. We need leadership to calm these situations down, but our leaders have failed us by constantly escalating the division in our country. My prayers are with the families of both the shooter and deceased, who will have their lives destroyed and diminished forever, by a moment that could have been so easily avoided. This is a sad day for all Americans.

PAKISTAN: What do teachers, students, labourers, minors, people with disabilities and activists in Pakistan have in common? They have all been subjected to enforced disappearances. Families of the forcibly disappeared have to deal with a legal system that has failed to provide truth and justice. On International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, families are left only with questions and memories of their loved ones. Pakistani authorities must: 📌 Stop the practice of enforced disappearances; 📌 Unconditionally disclose the fate and/or whereabouts of forcibly disappeared people to their families; 📌 Ensure accountability for all cases of enforced disappearances. #EndEnforcedDisappearances Defence of Human Rights Pakistan

These tourists looked at a busy horse guard post with crowds of people, horses, and guards standing watch and somehow decided it was the perfect place to sit down and have a picnic. The horse guard told them to move, but they completely ignored him and kept eating like the rules didn’t apply to them. It eventually took another tourist to step in and call them out. Seriously, what makes grown adults act like this?

I have said this before, and I will say it again, stop listening to false prophets. Most of them are hypocrites and bigots What is wrong with kneeling to pray? What is wrong with standing to pray? Nothing, right? But here they are, mocking Christ and His Church. They are all irrelevant without Catholicism. No wonder they are so obsessed with Catholicism I love the way this sister of ours stood up for the faith. Please, Catholics have done no harm to these anti-catholics. Consider Catholicism today. Christ is calling you home.
