Chernobyl Fungus Appears to Have Evolved an Incredible Ability

sciencealert.com · Nov 30

The Chernobyl exclusion zone may be off-limits to humans, but ever since the Unit Four reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded nearly 40 years ago, other forms of life have not only moved in but survived, adapted, and appeared to thrive.

That fungus is called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and some scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis.

A French Nazi invented the "Great Replacement theory" & said all Americans were 'Negroes'.

Ben Franklin said the English, alone, were white; Swedes were 'tawny', Germans were 'swarthy'.

'Whiteness' was Protestant, middle-to-upper class, with N. European origins.

'Whiteness' in America "was always mostly about class, religion & unfree antecedents rather than skin color."

ICE hasn't gone after 1000s of “white” undocumented immigrants, only those coded “brown” or “black."

Ie, "Stephen Miller’s project is a racialist one, not purely about immigration or undocumented immigration."

One of the symbols of whiteness in the US is Europeanness. But Hitler said Italians weren't white. He initially rebuffed Mussolini, preferring to ally with Britain if possible.
