Biden has no authority or power to do anything. He is President of a broke bankrupt company that was established in 1871 by the Act of 1871 that created the company called the United States of America, and that company is out of business. A bankrupt company cannot make contracts. Everything he has said and done is meaningless garbage. The real Joe Biden was executed and what we have now is an actor in a movie.

★ EMMA GOLDMAN, 70 ANS, RESTE FIDÈLE À L’ANARCHIE…
" « La femme la plus dangereuse du monde », à 70 ans maintenant, réside aujourd’hui dans un petit gîte pour touristes à Windsor, espérant encore que le monde parviendra à l’anarchie, qu’elle a recherchée depuis les dernières 50 années (...) "
« La bourgeoisie et le prolétariat de France poursuivent des buts non seulement différents, mais absolument opposés, par quel miracle une union réelle et sincère pourrait-elle s’établir entre eux ? Il est clair que cette conciliation tant prônée, tant prêchée, ne sera jamais rien qu’un mensonge. »

Remember, the only thing you can be certain is false is what the #Mainstream #Media says is true.
AC points out that the curious thing about DMX's death isn't that there were what appear to have been false claims made about him overdosing, but rather, the way the false narrative was instantly pushed worldwide.
#Family member confirms rapper #DMX was given the #Covid #vaccine days before his lethal #heart-attack, and say the heart attack that led to his #death was not from a #drug #overdose. Even more amazing to me than the fact they killed him with their #UmbrellaCorporation vaccine, is the fact the #Cabal #propaganda machine, that is mainstream media reporters, immediately knew he had died from the vaccine, and knew they had to cover it up, and #manufactured the drug overdose #cover-story (sullying his name in death, in the process, to save their mass experiment on the human race). Otherwise, if the story just came in he died from a heart attack, a clueless reporter would report he died from a heart attack alone, and then they’d have waited for more information. Ask yourself, how did the media know immediately that he was vaccinated, the heart attack was due to it, and they needed a made up cover story?
It's getting harder and harder for the media to deny the adverse effects of the not-vaccine, but that doesn't mean they won't try.
#Parrots Mummified Parrots Reveal 'Sophisticated' Trade In Ancient South American Desert
A recent study of mummified parrots found in a high-altitude desert region in South America suggests to researchers that, as far back as some 900 years ago, people went to arduous lengths to transport the prized birds across vast and complex trade routes.
The remains of more than two dozen scarlet macaws and Amazon parrots were found at five different sites in northern Chile's arid Atacama Desert — far from their home in the Amazon rainforest.
So how did they get there?
A team of researchers, which published their findings this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, think they have the answer: During a period between the years 1100 and 1450, Atacama communities used long caravans of llamas to transport the precious cargo, trekking more than 500 miles on a route from the Amazon rainforest, through the craggy Andes mountain range, to the harsh desert terrain.
"This trip likely lasted several weeks if not months," José Capriles, a lead author of the study, told NPR. "That required quite a bit of sophisticated knowledge, being able to trap the birds, keep them in captivity and then transport them across these high mountains."
Like rare gems or high-end cars today, the colorful feathers of exotic birds signaled wealth and power in the pre-Columbian Americas. They adorned the headdresses of elites and even carried spiritual significance.
Capriles, an archaeologist and assistant professor of anthropology at Penn State University, said the birds were so valuable to society at the time that they were raised and nurtured for their feathers and, sometimes, mummified.
"In a place with so limited resources and so limited color, these feathers were incredibly important," he said. "It was a cultural, social, ritual phenomenon. These feathers really crosscut these different spheres of value."
Using methods including radioactive carbon dating and ancient DNA analysis to study 27 intact and partial remains, the researchers identified at least six different species.
As evidenced by the unearthed remains, the birds, seen essentially as living feather factories, were often treated poorly.
"We've all seen whole chickens on the supermarket. These just have a few more feathers, if you will," said Capriles.
He and his colleagues also found that the birds were nutritionally deprived. They were fed the same nitrogen-rich food that their captors subsisted on, a maize-based diet that was fertilized with marine bird manure.
Studying these trade routes was also a personal journey for Capriles.
His mother, Eliana Flores Bedregal, who was an ornithologist and co-author of the study, died of cancer before they could finish the work. Capriles hopes that wherever she is, she feels proud of what they achieved
9 Apr 2021 Google has created a new tracking method called FLoC, put it in #Chrome, and automatically turned it on for millions of users. FLoC is bad for privacy: It puts you in a group based on your browsing history, and any website can get that group FLoC ID to target and fingerprint you. You can use the DuckDuckGo Chrome extension (pending Chrome Web Store's approval of our update) to block FLoC's tracking, which is an enhancement to its tracker blocking and directly in line with the extension's single purpose of protecting your privacy holistically as you use Chrome. DuckDuckGo Search (via our website duckduckgo.com) is now also configured to opt-out of FLoC, regardless if you use our extension or app. spreadprivacy.com/block-floc-w…
What just happened?
If you're a Google Chrome user, you might be surprised to learn that you could have been entered automatically into Google's new tracking method called Federated Learning of Cohorts (FLoC). It groups you based on your interests and demographics, derived from your browsing history, to enable creepy advertising and other content targeting without third-party cookies. After a short trial period, Google decided not to make this new tracking method a user choice and instead started automatically including millions in the scheme. If you're reading this in Chrome while logged in to a Google account, yes, that likely means you too, and if not now, then eventually.
As a user, what can I do to avoid this?
The criteria for being opted into FLoC are somewhat hidden and conflicting, but there are three methods for blocking FLoC:
Don't use Google Chrome!
Right now FLoC is only in Google Chrome, and no other browser vendor has expressed an intention or even interest to implement it. There are various browsers that are free to download, and we recommend some in our guide to Google alternatives. On iOS or Android we suggest you use our own mobile browser, which offers best-in-class privacy protection by default when searching and browsing.
Install the DuckDuckGo Chrome extension.
In response to Google automatically turning on FLoC, we've enhanced the tracker blocking in our Chrome extension to also block FLoC interactions on websites. This is directly in line with the single purpose of our extension of protecting your privacy holistically as you use your browser. It’s privacy, simplified. (If you use a non-Chrome browser, you can get our extension here.) At the time of writing, we're waiting for Google to approve our updated Chrome extension, and the update should appear in the Chrome Web Store soon. The FLoC blocking feature is included in version 2021.4.8 and newer of the DuckDuckGo extension, which should auto-update, though you can also check the version you have installed from the extensions list within Chrome.
Change your Chrome and/or Google settings, which we recommend you do in any case if you continue to use Chrome. It seems (but Google isn't very clear about this so we aren't certain) that if you perform any of the following, then Google will exclude you from FLoC, at least for the time being. And as there are still many unknowns and things are changing rapidly, the effectiveness of these steps may change in future.
Stay logged out of your Google account;
Don't sync your history data with Chrome, or create a sync passphrase; In Google Activity Controls, disable “Web & App Activity” or “Include Chrome history and activity from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services;” In Google Ad Settings disable “Ad Personalization” or “Also use your activity & information from Google services to personalize ads on websites and apps that partner with Google to show ads.”
Note that even if you change these settings, we also recommend installing the DuckDuckGo Chrome extension to get holistic privacy protection when using Chrome, including private search, tracker blocking, Smarter Encryption, and Global Privacy Control. For non-Chrome desktop browsers, you can get our extension here.
So, what is FLoC anyway?
With browsers dropping support for third-party cookies, FLoC is Google's approach for replacing them. It's being developed in the open and is claimed by Google to be good for privacy. However, it has received widespread criticism from privacy experts, including from EFF who say it's a "terrible idea" and implored Google "please don't do this." We agree with their assessment, and, in a world where it does exist, it should be explicitly opt-in for users (free of dark patterns). In addition, while Google isn’t phasing out third-party cookies in Chrome until at least 2023, FLoC is already live today in 2021.
What are some of those privacy concerns with FLoC?
With FLoC, by simply browsing the web, you are automatically placed into a group based on your browsing history (“cohort”). Websites you visit will immediately be able to access this group FLoC ID and use it to target ads or content at you. It's like walking into a store where they already know all about you! In addition, while FLoC is purported to be more private because it is a group, combined with your IP address (which also gets automatically sent to websites) you can continue to be tracked easily as an individual.
Google itself maintains detailed profiles of users, built up over time from what they've learned about users (including through passive trackers lurking on most websites), but with FLoC they're now exposing your derived interests and demographics from this profile to the websites you visit via FLoC IDs. Although the cohorts you belong to over time are non-descriptive and represented by an anonymous-looking number, it won't be long before people or organizations work out what FLoC IDs really mean, e.g. what interests and demographic information they are likely correlated with.
But don't just take it from us. Google itself has said this new approach is at least 95% as effective as third-party cookie tracking, continuing the ability to target people based on age, gender, ethnicity, income, and many other factors. This targeting, regardless of how it's done, enables manipulation, discrimination, and filter bubbles that many people would like to avoid.
Please also note that FLoC IDs will also be accessible by third-party trackers lurking on websites. As we’ve explained recently, to protect yourself from these trackers, you need to stop them from loading in your browser, which is also accomplished by the DuckDuckGo extension and app.
As a website owner, what can I do to avoid this?
Websites can take steps to protect the privacy of their users by opting out of FLoC, which would be applicable to all their visitors. It's done by simply sending the following Permissions-Policy HTTP response header:
Permissions-Policy: interest-cohort=()
Some publishers like The Markup and The Guardian have already done so, as have we at DuckDuckGo Search, and we encourage others to follow.
This picture was taken in Novermber of 2019. I'm hoping by this November maybe we will have more freedom. Our beaches are pretty much closed for the July 4th weekend in hopes of protecting people from spreading Covid-19. Enjoy the picture my friends.
It was a foggy day at Salt Point State Park but still great to be there. Here is a picture that shows a baby seal/sea lion that had just climbed onto the rocks. Enjoy! I'd like to have the cool!!!
