Humans Nearly Went Extinct 70,000 Years Ago
Josh Fink brings us a CNN story discussing evidence found by researchers which indicates that humans came close to extinction roughly 70,000 years ago. A similar study by Stanford scientists suggests that droughts reduced the population to as few as 2,000 humans, who were scattered in small, isolated groups. Quoting:
"'This study illustrates the extraordinary power of genetics to reveal insights into some of the key events in our species' history,' said Spencer Wells, National Geographic Society explorer in residence. 'Tiny bands of early humans, forced apart by harsh environmental conditions, coming back from the brink to reunite and populate the world. Truly an epic drama, written in our DNA.'"
Could it have been a cataclysmic flood and not a drought? Couldn't those 2000 have been the second, third and fourth generations of Noah?
No? Didn't think so... just checking. How many "Arks" have been found so far anyway?

corepirate nazi execrable fail to be intervened upon, 'surviving' may not be as much fun as one might guess. let yOUR conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

dictator style micro management has never worked (for very long). it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & softwar gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster. meanwhile, you can help to stop the bleeding (loss of life & limb);

the bleeding must be stopped before any healing can begin. jailing a couple of corepirate nazi hired goons would send a clear message to the rest of the world from US. any truthful look at the 'scorecard' would reveal that we are a society in decline/deep doo-doo, despite all of the scriptdead pr ?firm? generated drum beating & flag waving propaganda that we are constantly bombarded with. is it time to get real yet? please consider carefully ALL of yOUR other 'options'. the creators will prevail. as it has always been.

as there are no benefits, just more&more death/debt & disruption. fortunately there's an 'army' of light bringers, coming yOUR way. the little ones/innocents must/will be protected. after the big flash, ALL of yOUR imaginary 'borders' may blur a bit? for each of the creators' innocents harmed in any way, there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available. 'vote' with (what's left in) yOUR wallet, & by your behaviors. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi glowbull warmongering execrable. some of US should consider ourselves somewhat fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate. it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc.... as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis. concern about the course of events th

Y'know, I've noticed over the years that there is a high degree of overlap between people who deny human-caused global warming and those who cannot spell.
Anyone who uses Personals Ads services and sits in front of a computer all day hoping for their Knight In Shining Armor to come rescue them is contributing to the next possible extinction of the human race. It used to be that people met at Church, through school, through the extended family, and through REAL neighborhoods where people knew each other. Other than school, much of that inter-social infrastructure is gone. Couples move out of the city and into sterile suburbs where there is little social contact at all. They they get divorced and the woman is at home in front of her computer all day looking for Mr. Right all over again so the process can repeat itself.
Fill a glass with ice water, like all ice up to the top and fill the rest with cold water. It'll be 32.1 degrees or so, just above freezing.
Now drop a shotglass of boiling water into it. What happens? A bunch of the ice melts, and the water's still 32.1 degrees.
Roman Kingdom? Kingdom?!
To coin a phrase: Rome has no kings, Rome needs no kings. The Romans threw out their last king around 500 BC, had an aristocratic Republic until Augustus made himself Princeps (he ruled roughly 17 BC- aD 14, I don't have the dates in front of me). After that it was an Empire, ruled by an emperor, with a senate.. but never a Kingdom again.
In any event our records are from ice cores, not the observations of any ancient observer. There was no way to gauge temperature until Fahrenheit invented his scale, anyway.
