 Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.

The COINTELPRO PAPERS - Chapter 8: Conclusion

All Americans need to realize that it’s not only in places like the Middle East that war is perpetrated on countries’ own citizens.

This is only the conclusion and the whole book is worth reading. It’s shocking, horrifying, and explains a lot about why there is such socio-economic dissonance between a large percentage of the Black American community and the rest of the country…it’s because it was set-up to be that way.

“Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart. And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.” Khalil Gibran
