The United States of Kailasa have appropriated indigenous lands in Latin America. And who are they? Well nobody knows

by

At some point in 2023, a man approached several enclaves of Ecuador and Paraguay with An irrevious offer. The guy ended up signing symbolic agreements of “sister cities” even in Newark, United States. Did it in the name of the Kailasa nationand its last appropriation occurred in Amazonian lands of Bolivia. There was only a small “but”: neither man nor Kailasa existed as such. Invent. He self -proclaimed “Sovereign State of the United States of Kailasa”, led by the controversial Indian Guru Swami Nithyanandahe has returned to the headlines, this time for A scandal of international proportions. Although Kailasa does not exist as a recognized entity, it has been presented by its followers as the first nation for Hindu in the world, with its own “cosmic” constitution, passports, sacred coin in gold and even an alleged central bank. However, this fantasy construction has given Bruces with reality when Bolivia’s authorities recently arrested 20 people linked to Kailasaaccusing them of “land traffic” after having negotiated lease contracts with Amazonian indigenous communities for a thousand years. Reinventing sovereignty. Nithyananda, whose real name is Arunachalam Rajasekaran, is a Hindu exmonje that built A spiritual empire From India to multiple cities on the planet. After being accused of rapeChild Torture and Abuse, fled from India in 2019 and reappeared proclaiming the foundation of Kaillasa, a “resurrection” of ancestral Hindu kingdoms. In his speeches, the man claims to have supernatural powers How to open the “third eye”, delay dawn or guide the reincarnation of billionaires such as Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, assuring them that rich will be born again if they deposit their fortune in a background managed by him. Its logic is clear: if you manage to convince the rich that you need eternal immunity, then the creation of a fictional state can become useful. A nation as an immunity strategy. Based on an unidentified region of South America or the Caribbean, Nithyananda argues that he chose his exile for the Advantages of diplomatic immunity that would allow him his role as head of state. In fact, Kailasa has tried to consolidate as a real nation: its envoys have posed with high profile politicians, including Mayor of Newark and American congressmen, and have even intervened in UN forums. However, these appearances have caused Political crises and resignationsas happened in Paraguay and the United States, discovering that it was a assembly without legal or territorial legitimacy. Attempt for appropriation. In Bolivia, the Kilasians entered as tourists and infiltrated official events, achieving even photograph With President Luis Arce. Was The newspaper El Due Who uncovered the case: Kailasa’s followers negotiated with the Baure community, an Amazon Ethnicity, offering help after the latest forest fires. The conversations resulted in an agreement that initially seemed to be a lease for 25 years and an annual payment of almost 200,000 dollars. However, the contract delivered (in English and more than a thousand years) included the exploitation of natural resources and the use of airspace. Despite the warnings, indigenous leaders signed. Today, one of them He has admitted to the media that: “We made the mistake of listening to them.” Spiritual manipulation. Indigenous leaders have denounced Feel deceived. In subsequent statements, they said that Kaillase representatives offered humanitarian and environmental aid after forest fires, but ended up demanding the signing of documents that did not understand at all and never imagined that they would imply the assignment of their ancestral lands. The organization Multi -ethnic indigenous territory IIwhich represents the peoples That exjasaid that some of its members were manipulated and pressured To sign, under the promise of easy benefits. In a sharp statement, they made it clear that: “Our territory is not sold, does not rent and is not subject to any type of negotiation. It is the legacy of generations that defended it with blood and resistance.” Legal and diplomatic consequences. The Bolivian government declared The null agreementsarrested those involved and deported them to their countries of origin: India, the United States, Sweden and China. The Foreign Ministry clarified that Bolivia does not recognize diplomatic relations with any entity called ‘Kailasa’, and denounced the facts as a scam. False documents and environmental conservation promises were part of the deception, and although there is no evidence that Nithyananda was physically in Bolivia, it is thought that its emissary network operated as a parallel diplomacy for illegitimate purposes. Religious dystopia. Be that as it may, the Kailasa case It highlights a sophisticated form of colonialism disguised as spiritual diplomacy, where the religious symbol becomes a legal weapon to strip indigenous communities of its territorial heritage. Beyond the apparent absurdity, what happened in Bolivia, and before in Ecuador and Paraguay (or even the United States), was a systematic attempt to install fictitious sovereignty on real territories, and all this with legal, political and cultural implications. In a dystopian crossing between the unusual and the alarming, magical realism does not seem to be in the contracts, but in the fact that they almost worked.

Put solar panels in space has never been profitable, but there is something that motivates the current interest: its military use

by

The old idea of ​​collecting energy from the sun from space to transmit it uninterrupted to Earth has always collided with the huge costs and technological barriers that have prevented their deployment. Until now. A global interest. Governments and companies around the world seem to have a renewed interest in space solar energy. The drastic drop in launch costs, thanks to the emergence of reusable rockets such as Spacex, could have cleared the main economic obstacle from the equation. The necessary technology has also matured in parallel: solar panels are lighter and more efficient, and wireless energy transmission (microwave or laser) is more advanced. The same with robotics, which will be necessary to assemble the stations in orbit. The military factor. As with any renewable project, the energy transition and emission commitments are the engine of this new effort. But behind the recent interests of the Chinese government or the pentagon there is something else: the military potential of space solar energy. “The military utility of transmitting energy to land, aerial or maritime units is obvious,” He said to Spacenews Darpa’s tactical technology project manager Paul Jaffe. Transporting fuel to remote places with tank airplanes can be a usual practice, but “it is not a practical way to bring energy where we need it for defense purposes.” In addition to DARPA, who has conversations with space solar energy startups and invests in the development of long -distance wireless energy transmission, the United States Air Force and Navy are also in garlic. Pentagon projects. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFR) actively develops space solar technology through its “Space Solar Incremental Demonstrations and Research” program. Its flagship mission “Arachne” will prove in orbit a sandwich panel that converts sunlight into radiofrequency energy to transmit it to a terrestrial receptor. Led by Northrop Grumman, it is scheduled for this year with the explicit objective of providing energy to the forces and reducing the dependence of fuel convoys, which are more vulnerable. For its part, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) integrated a module called PRAM into the X-37B secret space plane to prove the conversion of solar energy to microwave. Now the project is part of the space force. What can we expect. Military interest is an important catalyst, and possibly one of the motivations behind the gigantic project of the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CASC), which will display its first satellites in low orbit by 2028 and in geostationary orbit for 2030. But in the coming years we will also see all kinds of commercial and space agencies, including the European Space Agency with its Solaris initiative, which focuses on viability studies. Despite these progress, the challenges are still considerable. The two major doubts are profitability, in the case of commercial efforts, which will compete with the renewable energies deployed on land, increasingly profitable despite their intermittency. And security, which depends on the fact that you are issued at distances of hundreds or tens of thousands of kilometers are very precise. Maybe let’s see some “fried” birds along the way.

We have created 200 sorghum varieties. It looks like an anecdote but it has the potential to change world food

by

The sorghum It is not one of the best known crops for the Mediterranean diet but there are those who predict a brilliant future to this cereal. One of his strengths is not in what he has except what he lacks: gluten. Another feature that could bring this food closer to our dishes is in its resistance. Or that’s what some researchers are looking for. To hunt varieties. Researchers such as Melinda Yerka, from the University of Nevada in Reno, responsible for the development of 200 variants of this seed. The objective is to create drought more resistant varieties capable of rooting and producing livestock and people in a changing climate context. Fifth in discord. Sorghum is not a regular of our dishes but it is one of cereal crops most important worldwide after the “great three” (rice, wheat and corn) and barley. FAO (the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) esteem that in 2022 there were about 58 million tons of this grain, being the largest producers Nigeria, Sudan and the United States. In the US, the sorghum is mainly used to feed cattle, but this grain can be and is widely used as food. Sorghum is a known gluten -free cereal of the gastronomies of several countries in Asia and Africa, the latter continent from which it is originally. This cereal can even be used fermented as wheat and barley to Create beers or in the preparation of biofuels. Great tolerance. Beyond the uses to which this grain can be dedicated, if something highlights the Yerka team is the resistance of the new variants created. The preliminary studies of the team highlighted their great tolerance against drought although some variants with high levels of protein and digestible starch also highlighted. Based on these first analyzes, the team estimates that the seeds achieve optimal development when they receive between 50.8 and 63.5 centimeters of annual water, considerably less than what crops such as alfalfa require. Prepared for semi-aridity. The new varieties have been created thinking about the semi-aridity conditions of the west of the United States but their developers believe that they could serve farmers from other areas with similar climates worldwide to have at their disposal a new food alternative for their cattle. An alternative with the advantage of requiring lower water use. “Many foods devised for the dairy industry in the US face a fall or variable productions due to late frosts, floods, heat and droughts associated with climate change, which underlines the need for more resilient alternatives that can prosper in conditions of change in the climate,” he explained In a press release Yerka herself. Market the advance. The Yerka Laboratory at Nevada University has been operating Since 2017 But since 2023 it has its own project for the marketing of the fruits of its work, Yerka Seeds.

We have been waiting for years at airports for years. Tiktok’s “airport theory” believes that it has been a mistake

by

If you fly you will frequently be listening to it. The airport must be reached in advance. How much it depends largely on the city from which you take off and what your destination is, but usually the travelers are recommended that they be in the terminal with a margin of 90 minutes either two hours. And that at least. If fate is a distant country, like the US, that margin is quite superior. But … what if that wait could be reduced to 15 minutes? Just listening to it up the pulsations, but in Tiktok there are people (quite) determined to demonstrate the validity of a “Airport Theory” that holds that: that if you have done the Chek-in Online, you don’t have to bill suitcases and the trip is national, 15 minutes is more than enough not to lose flight. Not suitable for cardiac. “Traveling is a pleasure,” as I said Gloria Fuertes. But also a source of stress, nerves and hurry. Especially if you travel by plane. Hence operators Like Aena and the own airlines They advise to present themselves well in advance at airports. The exact time can vary from one case to another, but it usually moves between 90 minutestwo and a half or even the four For some destinations. In Tiktok there are enough people convinced that, at least in certain cases, they arrive with the terminal about 15 minutes before shipping or Even from takeoff. And is so sure of it that has begun to prove it During your own trips. @Michael.dicanzo Can Airport Theory Survive The World’s Busiest Airport ?? 👀✈️🤔 #Airportheory #Atlantaairport #Challenge ♬ Original Sound – Michael Dicostanzo The “Airport Theory”. The trend has been baptized as Airport Theory (“Airport Theory”) and has gained strength especially among Anglo -Saxon passengers. He arrives with searching The hashtag In Tiktok to verify that there is a good handful of videos of people (including Tiktokers with millions of followers) committed to demonstratein their own meats that can occur at the airport with much less in advance of what operators and airlines advise and yet to climb their airplanes without problem. Moreover, the phenomenon has won enough draft to jump from the networks to the generalist media, with reports in US chains and magazines such as The CNN, Fox News either Wired. Some of the videos of Influencers who speak of the theory, like the one who Michael Dicostanzo dedicated him A few days ago, hundreds of thousands of visualizations accumulate. But … What do you propose? Very simple. Roughly, the “airport theory” holds that until now you have been malicanting hours of your life at airports without any need. At least in certain cases. His hypothesis is that if the passenger has already performed the Check-in Online and only loads with hand luggage (so you don’t have to bill suitcases) you can reach the airport 15 minutes before embarking. According to the viral trend that is enough margin to pass the security controls, travel the distance to the boarding row and access the plane. All this, of course, without losing the flight. “Is it really necessary Betsy Grunch wonderswith 2.4 million followers on Tiktok. @itslexismith Testing Airport Theory At Lax ♬ Original Sound – Lexi Smith “I don’t think it’s necessary”. In An interview Recent with the CNN Grunch remembers that she had to check “the airport theory” one day that traffic and luggage problems led him to perform at the HartSfiel-Jackson International Airport, in Atlanta, only 26 minutes before his boarding time. As good TiktokerHe took the phone and recorded what came later: a race not suitable for cardiacs that allowed him to take his flight on time. Other influencer who wanted to verify it was James Shaw, although he opted for An experiment Sater: he went with his wife to a Florida airport with 90 minutes in advance of rigor and then used a stopwatch to calculate how long they took to reach his boarding door. He paused him after 13 minutes. “I think traveling can be very stressful and that’s why we say ‘I need to be there three or four hours earlier, or whatever it is.’ I don’t think it is necessary to do it,” Add Shaw. Of course, he only wore hand luggage and used a service that speeds up the procedures in the terminal. Like Grunch, he also recognizes that they would never test the theory on an international, more expensive trip and in which security controls can be more complicated … and long. The debate, served. Does “airport theory” work? In Tiktok you can find comments and videos both for and against. Also of course pieces of Tiktokers They have ended up seeing how They remain on land. Beyond recordings such as Dicostanzo and the debate that has emerged in networks, there are a few data that help to understand the scope of the trend … and some of its repercussions. A few days ago Wired needed That the “airport theory” accumulates more than 400 million visits in Tiktok, a sudden interest that seems to have coincided with a considerable rebound by Google Trends in the searches of “I have lost my flight, what do I do?” The truth is that airlines usually advise to present themselves at airports with a couple of hours In advance, enough to prevent an unforeseen event, such as a routine luggage control, bottling or tail in access to the terminal, can wait for the trip. “I think it’s nonsense”. Those who seem to be clear are the professionals who work at airports, a priori little supporters that travelers appear 15 minutes before their shipment. The reason: the risks. “The waiting times of security controls can vary from one airport to another, and even from one day to another, within the same terminal,” Explain to the CNN A spokesman for the Dalls/Fort Whorth aerodrome. With a couple of ‘mattress’ hours a traveler can prevent “unforeseen” of the last minute for her … Read more

Japan has been charging a 0% tariff to foreign cars. You will not find one among the 50 best selling

by

Japan is a fascinating country, of those that it costs to understand from the point of view of a western one. Perhaps because we ourselves have turned our backs on Asian culture during our years of teaching or because, simply, they have historical and cultural peculiarities that we are complicated to assimilate. What is certain is that the Japanese have entrenched the consumption of the local product. You have to keep in mind that Japanese society is deeply nationalistperhaps because it is surrounded by other countries where this feeling is also entrenched as China or the Koreas, which has caused continuous tensions in the area. After the Second World WarThe United States financed the recovery of Japan, with the clear objective of putting a geopolitical cap to communism that threatened from China and Korea. A movement that could have diluted this nationalist feeling. Little by little, the country was growing and in the 70s managed to diversify its industry and, at the same time, apply technical novelties that placed it at the world avant -garde in many sectors. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Yen against the dollar, they decided to put all their effort into export as much as possible of your products. Those exports flooded the world product economy. One of the most significant were cars. In its technical innovations, the country prioritized the efficiency of its engines, key to flooding the market when the oil crisis. In front of American and European cars, The Japanese were cheaper and more efficient. It was at that time that the industry shot completely and Japan decided to make a decision: he raised tariffs on foreign cars. Pass and see Something like that should have thought of Japanese politicians in 1978. With the aim of being more competitive in the face of foreign markets, the country raised all tariffs for those who wanted to import a car to their country. That is, any foreign brand could sell its cars in Japan without paying a single extra euro. In Japan they should not be afraid of what was going to happen. Its industry was so powerful and cultural factors so decisive that foreign vehicles have not finished cauling in the market. For proof, In 2016 the European Union lifted the 10% tariff with which he taxed Japanese cars. The 3% paid by Japanese manufacturers to produce in Europe but use Japanese pieces, but also raised Japanese. In return, the European Union found the open door to sell other products, such as cheese or wine. So, The European Union He came from buying 575,000 cars worth 9,000 million euros while we were barely sold 279,000 vehicles for a value of 7.3 billion euros, they collected in The world. From Auqí we can get two readings. The European Union, a specialist in the export of cars, had barely placed in the country Japanese 279,000 cars in a market in which Five million cars were almost sold that 2016. Of the 12 best -selling brands that year in the country, only one (Mercedes in tenth position) was foreign. And none of the 30 best -selling cars in the country was a foreigner. The cars that the European Union managed to place in Japan were high -price vehicles. The average unit cost Japan more than 26,000 euros while those bought by the European Union cost less than 16,000 euros. That is, it costed Europe (and much) to compete by volume. When Japan opened its doors to the world, it had to be aware of the country’s particularities. The hard emission and space standards have made the center cars of large cities disappear. From the 60s The Shako Shomeishhothe obligation to have a space to park the car to have the right to buy a car. In a country that is concentrated in cities, the limitation is decisive. In addition, the Japanese client fully trusts his companies and has trouble opening to new technologies. The host of the hybrid car in front of any other technology (and the Resistance of Japanese firms themselves The electric car attests to it) is a good example of this. To this we must add that, by price, the great generalists cannot compete since local vehicles are sold much cheaper taking advantage of a manufacturing within the country that is more competitive than beyond their borders. The value of YEN, lower than the dollar, the euro or the pound, allows them to obtain large amounts of money for the development and manufacture of a product that allows them to lower prices in their local market. On the contrary, foreign companies that have to sell there face A cut market For emission regulations, the space regulations barrier and that have the obligation to change the production of the car since when driving on the left they need to position the controls on the opposite side. An added cost that puts another lock. The result is that Europeans and Americans end up offering Japan cars that do not interest. In addition, in Japan the minivans, contained on the outside and of wide interior space are religion. A type of car that has disappeared in Europe while in Japan the Toyota feels, the Nissan Note and the Honda Freed occupied the squares of third, fourth and fifth best selling car In the country. And you can keep going down in the list of the 50 best -selling cars in Japan In 2024. You will not find one that is a foreigner.

Because, indeed, affected cars have to rest and that means that they cannot move from home. Why does this happen? Because it applies today does not circulate, the program designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) For the improvement of the air quality we breathe. A project that prevents some cars from moving with ease where it applies. Less cars, less pollution. It is a simple formula that has its implications in the atmosphere. Therefore, although painful, it is a measure that is applied in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today If we observe the superior image you can easily check what the restrictions that are applied. But what happens to Saturdays? Which is a bit more complicated because not always the restrictions touch them. That is because the car hologram marks the restrictions of each day but on Saturday there are special standards. Because, in this case, it will depend on the plate number as well. And, however, not all holograms always rest … To order all this mess, the easiest thing is to think that there are three types of cars: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. With all this clear, what can we do if we are affected by today does not circulate sabbatino? In principle, be clear when we have to stay at home. For that, the following must be taken into account. Cars with Hologram 2 rest every Saturday. None of them can circulate. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 have no problem. These cars can move with total freedom. The “problem” comes with those of Hologram 1. In this case it depends on the plate number. Every week is broken. In this case, the Saturday April 12, 2025as we are on the second Saturday of the month of April touches the cars with a plate finished in number to stay at home. Despite this, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

He is sending thousands of consoles from Vietnam to the US, according to Bloomberg

The temporal truce in reciprocal tariffs, announced a few days ago by Donald Trumphas unleashed a counterreloj career among great technological to adjust their movements. Among them, Nintendo. The Japanese company decided to postpone the reservations of its expected Nintendo Switch 2 in the United States and did not hesitate to publicly attribute it to the context of commercial war. From China to Vietnam: the movement that Nintendo had already foreseen. Although much of its production was focused on China, Nintendo began in 2019 to move part of its manufacture to Vietnam. At that time, they assured that it was not a maneuver for tariff reasons, but a strategy to diversify its supply chain. Over time, the decision has made even more sense. Today, one third of the new units Nintendo Switch 2 They will leave factories in Vietnam. The manufacturer in charge, hosiden – the equivalent to Foxconn, who works with Apple, in the Nintendo ecosystem – is now under pressure to accelerate the production rate and make the most of the current tariff window. The weight of tariffs: 145%, 46% or 10%. If all production followed in China, shipments to the United States would be subjected to a 145%tariff, a devastating blow for the company. Vietnam, on the other hand, faced a 46% taxwhich has been temporarily reduced to 10% due to the temporary suspension announced by Washington. According to BloombergNintendo is rushing to introduce as many consoles as possible in US territory while this reduced tariff is in force. In February alone, Hosiden sent more units from Vietnam than in the previous six months. The logic is simple: filling the stores now costs much less than paying higher rates. A clock run and many pending negotiations. The suspension of the tariffs was established in 90 days. It is the margin that the United States and Vietnam have to negotiate, although Washington is also in conversations with many other countries. In parallel, Vietnam and the United States They have already opened a channel to explore a “reciprocal” commercial agreement. Meanwhile, 10% remains in force. And if there are no advances, the risk of returning to 46% is on the table. According to Bernstein firm, Nintendo could assume that 10% without raising the price in the United States, keeping it in the 450 dollars announced. But if the scale tariff, the impact would be transferred to the consumer: the price could rise between 50 and 100 dollars. Pause reservations, shipments without changes. The reserves, initially scheduled for April 9, are still in the air. Nintendo has not communicated a new date for the United States. What has not changed – at least for the moment – is the delivery day: June 5. Apple, meanwhile, also reacts. Apple is also moving fast. The company has chosen to send 1.5 million iPhone from India to the United States in cargo aircraftaccording to Reuters. India, like Vietnam, benefits from the 10% reduced tariff during this 90 -day pause.
