    War: World elites want you to eat only corn, beans and grass
    • The authors of the study argue that in order to more CO2 pollution, it is necessary, firstly, to reduce the consumption of beef by 75%, pork by 90%, eggs by 50%, while increasing the share of beans and legumes in the diet by 3 times and nuts and seeds in four. This should cut emissions from livestock in half.

      To avoid climate change, humanity must significantly reduce the consumption of meat and dairy products, which account for 60% of all greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture (this is about the same as all cars and trucks combined). In order not to undermine the planet's ability to feed 10 billion people in a few decades, according to researchers, a massive introduction of radical changes is required. Food production is already causing great damage to the environment - deforestation (about 40% of the land is allotted for agriculture), and water scarcity (70% of water resources), and much more.

      From "Options for keeping the food system within environmental limits".

    War: US declared Mordor citizens as homeless
    • Citizens of the Russian Federation wishing to obtain an immigration visa to the United States must send an application to the American Embassy in Warsaw in connection with the suspension of processing of the corresponding appeals in the diplomatic missions of the United States in Russia. This follows from the document posted on the agency's website.

      In it, applicants from the Russian Federation are classified as homeless. In this category, Washington usually classifies immigrant visa applicants from those countries where the United States does not have a consular mission, as well as from countries in which, due to an unstable political or security situation, the number of American consular staff is limited and they cannot process relevant applications for obtaining visas. Thus, the word "homeless" does not mean the applicant's "absence of home", but the absence in the country of which he is a citizen of an American diplomatic mission that provides services for issuing immigrant visas.

      At the moment, in addition to Russians, the homeless category includes citizens of Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, Libya, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
