CROW AGENCY, Montana – Thousands from across the continent flocked to the rolling plains along the Little Bighorn River where 150 years ago to the day Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer met his demise at what U.S. schoolchildren know as the Battle of Little Bighorn or Custer’s Last Stand – but Native Nations know as Greasy Grass.

“You know, Custer planned [a large-scale attack on tribes gathered along the river] because he wanted to be president,” said Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out. “And so news was supposed to hit Washington, D.C., that he defeated the Sioux. … Well, we changed history.”

Thursday’s commemoration events include a partial replay of the battle when dozens of horse riders re-enacted the battle on a hill on private land near the federal Little Bighorn National Monument. Hundreds of spectators war-whooped and trilled as the horse riders circled the peak of the hill, where Custer’s Seventh Cavalry might have ridden. There were no cavalry reenactors at the event Thursday, however, a full-scale re-enactment was planned for Friday and the monument........

Secret Uranium site near Kyiv hit by Russian Missile

A Russian missile has destroyed a depot of depleted uranium near Kyiv! Uranium depot near Kyiv The Russian armed forces have struck an ammunition depot on the outskirts of Kyiv, in Vishnevoe, where sub-calibre rounds with a depleted uranium-238 core and cluster bombs were stored. Due to the threat of radioactive contamination, an emergency evacuation of residents in the area has begun, and the entire incident site has been completely cordoned off by the Ukrainian secret services. In other news regarding Ukraine: Ukraine finally releases geolocations of soldiers in Konstantinvka - but the damage from Russia's claimed capture is already done: Unlike at Pokrovsk, there is no indication yet of a coordinated counterattack to reclaim parts of the city altogether. Furthermore, simply publishing geolocated videos of Ukrainian servicemen at all amounts to an admission that the Russian territorial claims have gained Western credulity which Kyiv must counteract.

The West Fears A Strong United Iran.

Why Do Millions Unite at Iran’s Supreme Leader Funeral... And Why Does the West Panic? Millions of Iranians attend the Funeral of The Great Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Look at the huge crowds in Tehran right now. Millions of people marching together, showing real unity after their leader’s death. Is this just a funeral? No. This is Iran proving it is a real civilisation-state. Deep history, strong faith, tight families, and national pride. These things hold them together no matter what the outside world throws at them. Why does the West fear this so much? Because Iran is a living rejection of their globalist plan. They want to destroy everything solid: open borders that erase countries, broken families, mocked religion, weak nation-states, and confused ideas about gender and truth. They push this everywhere to control people more easily. But Iran says no. They hit Iran with attacks and sanctions, yet the people stay united and strong....

Where have all the Flowers gone?

As the songs goes; where have all the flowers gone? Well we may be asking that in the near future. One-third of Ireland’s 99 wild bee and butterfly species are currently threatened with extinction. Driven by human-altered landscapes and intensive land use, this crisis threatens native food production and natural ecosystems. Saving these essential pollinators requires restoring vital habitats across farms, gardens, and public spaces. [ According to the Heritage Council ]. The Root Causes: The primary driver behind the decline of Ireland's bees and butterflies is habitat loss and starvation. As the landscape has become increasingly urbanized and modernized, insects simply do not have enough flowers to feed on or safe places to nest. Key factors include: Agricultural Intensification: The shift toward larger, chemical-reliant fields, the drainage of wet areas, and the removal of traditional, flower-rich hedgerows have decimated natural habitats. Th...
