Jonathan Turns 190, Becoming The Oldest Tortoise Ever by Lucy Jones

February 10, 2022February 10, 2022 EarthNewspaper.com Comment(0)

Crack out the Champers! Sometimes we all need an uplifting animal story to get us through the day and this one is a cracker: Jonathan the tortoise just celebrated his 190th rotation around the sun. Born in 1832, the adorable old fella already holds the Guinness World Record for oldest living land animal and is now also the oldest turtle or tortoise of all time. Jonathan lives on St Helena Island in the South Atlantic Ocean where he passes the time snacking on cabbage, cucumber and carrots, sleeping and mating (AKA living the dream). “He is a local icon, symbolic of persistence in the face of change,” Jonathan’s veterinarian Joe Hollins told Guinness World Records. Scientists believe the secret to tortoises’ long lives may be a process called ‘apoptosis’ during which damaged cells are removed from the body and replaced with healthy cells. Happy birthday Jonathan, keep living the good life!

“Let these truths be indelibly impressed on our minds—that we cannot be HAPPY,
without being FREE—that we cannot be free,
without being secure in our property—that we cannot be secure in our property,
if, without our consent, others may, as by right, take it away.”
John Dickinson, know as the Penman of the Revolution, this quote is from the last of his 12 Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania.

------------- Abortion -------------- ----------- by Mark R. Elsis ----------- Thou shalt not kill. Is there something people don't understand about the Sixth Commandment? I do not believe in government-sanctioned killing, whether it be abortion, capital punishment, or being drafted into a war. There have been about 70,000,000 abortions in the United States, since the despicable Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision on January 22, 1973, that approved this genocidal mass murder, called infanticide. Perhaps we should have informative sexual education classes for teenagers, and contraceptives for all. Perhaps people should live up to their obligations, instead of using abortion as an easy way out. Because abortion not only murders the fetus who has no say in the matter, but also does significant psychological harm to the mother, and many times for the father too. And now we have added two new demonic lows to this most horrific act of abortion, Planned Parenthood has been caught selling baby parts from the abortions they provide, and eight states have no gestational limits on abortion, they are: Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C. If one wants to know when the United States lost its way, and turned into a completely immoral country, it was on Monday, January 22, 1973.

"The USS Liberty was repeatedly attacked while in international waters by Israeli air and naval forces on June 8, 1967. The horrific result of this unprovoked attack by the Jewish state was that 34 Americans were murdered, and 174 were wounded. Then there was a complete cover-up of this premeditated mass murder, and for the first time in our history, there wasn't any retaliation against Israel for committing this act of war. And people naively still think we aren't owned by these deadly parasites." Mark R. Elsis

James Forrestal was of Irish Catholic origin like the Kennedy’s and was close to JFK’s father. Both James Forrestal and Joseph Kennedy are examples of American patriots of Irish stock who were alarmed by Jewish influence over American foreign policy. The entry for December 27, 1945, in James Forrestal’s edited diary states: “Played golf with Joe Kennedy. I asked him about his conversations with Roosevelt and Neville Chamberlain from 1938 on. […] Chamberlain, he says, stated that America and the world Jews had forced England into the war.”
