A lot of us conservatives knew that the Marxist organization known as BLM -Black Lives Matter ---was nothing more than a criminal enterprise. Yet the left just loves these kinds of groups. Now they and everyone who supported this crime group are now trying to distance themselves from their woke ideology about BLM. Well too fucking late, US Spirals Toward Lawless Carnage; BLM and Woke Corporations Silent WWW.MSN.COM Being "woke" once symbolized one's awareness of the historical and present injustices faced by an individual or group in the pursuit of their advancement or being. It meant that the blinders of matters of racism... Over the past two months, my organization has tried to bring attention to the angst in the black community regarding the grift that is the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. These self-enriching, avowed Marxist leaders fooled the world and many large corporations into believing they were going to change things, yet in the wake of their deception our communities are now even less safe. These corporations have blindly supported this radical group that has demeaned and called for the defunding of our women and men in blue.

The USA is changing for the better-at least in 2022 elections--as Americans are getting tired of being woke up to the left ruining our country. Progressive Democrats are inadvertently restoring the American dream WWW.WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM The Democratic Party is imploding. Every poll suggests the 2022 midterm elections will repudiate the party and what they have done to our nation. The majority of Democrats, who are patriots, are not in... The irony is that in their attempts to destroy America, leftists are actually restoring the American dream. They didn’t intend to, they certainly don’t want to, but that is what they are doing. and at the ballot box in November, we the people are reaffirming the American dream of liberty, personal responsibility, and unlimited opportunity by repudiating leftist authoritarian collectivism.

As are Americans

If you read the article, this document was discussed--so read and get informed Where's the evidence? The first known mention of the historic sale comes from a 1626 letter penned by a Dutch merchant named Pieter Schagen, who wrote that a man named Peter Minuit had purchased Manhattan for 60 guilders, the Dutch currency at the time. This information fits within a crucial period of New York's history. During this time, the Dutch — growing rich off the beaver trade and dependent on the Native Americans to propel their industry — were trying to secure their dominance in the New World against other European competitors. This motivated them to secure territory far and wide, across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Governors Island and Staten Island. Some accounts of the sale suggest that the individuals who sold Manhattan were Munsees, a subtribe of the Lenape people — though that's not confirmed. This marks just the first of several uncertainties about the information in Schagen's letter. Most notably, it isn't primary evidence; Schagen's text discusses the sale of Manhattan, but there's no known paper record of the exchange. Schagen himself had never even been to New York, said Johanna Gorelick, manager of the education department at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. "[Schagen's letter] is the only piece of evidence we have — the only document. Whether you call it a piece of evidence is questionable." The letter contains no details of the individuals involved in the sale, nor the precise date of the exchange. "We don't really know what happened," Gorelick said. Even the one detailed piece of information — the 60-guilder value of the trade — has been warped through time and misinterpretation into $24. That figure was taken from a history book published in 1846 and has somehow remained unchanged since then. Adjusted to present-day value, 60 guilders would be the equivalent of more than $1,000 today. Furthermore, there's no indication of what that money represented in terms of traded goods, though many accounts have perpetuated the questionable idea that native people sold their homelands for little more than a few "trinkets." The absence of evidence doesn't mean the exchange didn't occur, however. Trading land was actually common during this period; there are many cases in which there is much more convincing evidence that land was exchanged in some way between Native Americans and the Dutch. For instance, there are several formal land deeds, signed by Native American sellers and Dutch buyers, for the purchase of Staten Island in 1630, for parts of Long Island in 1639, and also for Manhattan, again, in 1649. But considering that it's become the defining symbol of New York City's "origins," that first purported 1626 sale ironically seems to be the least reliable account we have. Even assuming the historic transaction did go ahead, there are other factors that make it unlikely that Manhattan was traded so straightforwardly, as the story suggests.

The part in red makes no sense--because if the American natives did not allow the Europeans to settle and displace them, then the United States and Canada would be entirely indigenous and would not have evolved as it is today. Maybe relying on what you were erroneously taught in school, a point I tried to make in my post above, try doing some research to see if what you were taught is in fact accurate, rather than perpetuating myth Also your $12 figure is actually $24 in the myth. Was Manhattan really sold for $24 worth of beads and trinkets? | Live Science WWW.LIVESCIENCE.COM This historical transaction has become part of New York's origin story. But have the mythical elements of this tale obscured the facts? The magnitude of the myth The account of Manhattan's founding sale is, it would seem, more falsehood than truth. Why, then, has the story persisted for so long? Like any good legend, its colorful details — the $24 worth of trinkets and beads — have kept people captivated over the centuries. These details have also had a troubling effect on how the story has been interpreted. The misleading $24 figure makes the payment seem pitiably small. Over numerous recountings, and as shown in dozens of paintings, there's been an emphasis on the idea that "trinkets" were all that native people received in return for their ancestral home. That has created an impression of Manhattan's Indigenous inhabitants as guileless, unsophisticated people who were oblivious to the value of what they had, Gorelick said — an offensive interpretation that couldn't be further from the truth. "Native people were extremely, extremely scrupulous traders," she said. "They didn't just take what was offered to them. There are great accounts from Europeans at the time which said, 'This color cloth is not desired by native people. They would prefer this other color cloth.' [Native people] were very much orchestrating how and what was traded in those early years." By perpetuating the misconception that Manhattan was so easily and willingly let go, the story might have served another purpose: to help justify why things are as they are today — why some people, and not others, find themselves in positions of power, Sanderson believes. "I think the myth of the purchase of Manhattan served the powers that be for so long, and that's why it persisted, and that's why people kept telling it," Sanderson said. But 2024 will mark the 400th anniversary of New York's official colonization by the Dutch in 1624, and Sanderson thinks this might prompt a reckoning over the real facts of Manhattan's "sale." "It's one of these founding myths that people took very seriously in the 19th century and started to make fun of in the 20th century," Sanderson said. "I think in the 21st century, we're going to see a full repudiation of that story."

Very few people in the US (and maybe Canada) are really aware of the genocide perpetrated on Native Americans in North America (US and Canada). Hence, if everyone knew the actual history, which was not taught when I attended school (perhaps it has changed), I am sure that no North American would be proud of it--in fact would be ashamed of that part of our history. You estimate of 20 million is low. A death toll of 100 million figure has been documented by the authors D.E. Stannard, author of American Holocaust, I have included below a brief history of those events in the article below. For those who wish more education, more reference material is supplied in the article or you can google "how many native americans were killed in north America" and if you do, you will see estimates of varying amounts-- Following Christopher Columbus' arrival in North America in 1492, violence and disease killed 90% of the indigenous population — nearly 55 million people — according to a study published this year.Feb 9, 2019 NATIVE AMERICAN GENOCIDE WWW.WORLDFUTUREFUND.ORG Native American genocide was the largest mass murder in world history. The main point of history is to learn by it and not repeat the atrocities by Governments, organizations, and by individuals. Perhaps one day, the world will truly be at peace with one another--probably will not happen in my lifetime--but a wish for my children and their children.

I do believe in the Constitution and the 2nd amendment. However, there comes a point to which common sense and law and order within the USA should modify what type of weapon is needed and at what age a person is responsible enough to own a lethal weapon. American citizens only need those weapons if we are attacked on our own soil by foreign enemies, which has not yet happened since the Revolution. And American citizens do not need assault weapons to protect against domestic enemies---that should be left to law enforcement. The only need for a weapon is the domestic enemy that breaks into your residence and threatens you.

And this ruling by the 9th Circus Court of Appeals is ridiculous. No person in the US needs to own automatic assault type weapons, especially those under the age of 21 and they also do not need to own any firearms IMO

Foamy getting his nuts off🤣

Leave it to the inept Democrats who run California to not think ahead. While EV's is a noble cause, not planning for increased EV charging stations and increase in electric power capability to accommodate the possible EV increase on our already stressed out grids is indicative of when government is in control of anything rather than private enterprise. And even when there are charging stations in California, there is not enough per vehicle and a lot of them don't even work. With hydro-electric power being vastly reduced because of California extended drought and the elimination of the use of hydro carbon energy and not enough solar and wind to replace it, just where in the hell does Newsome expect to produce the electricity needed for his over zealous ambitions?

I am capable of reading posts and retaining what I read, not only from this thread, but also from the US General Domestic Politics thread which you posted: All right, USA with a 100 year old constitution - actually 200 years. And is that really good? The fact is, the USA is incapable of reform and is a kind of banana republic - a shame for the "democracy" of people today. Admittedly, abortion is not an easy subject. Western democracies have found a constitutional, socially acceptable solution. USA, with reference to 100 years of constitution are only IDIOTS without thought how a world is today. Ami state without humane and socially acceptable regulation of abortion is disgusting banana state - and inhuman. Capital punishment in individual US states is a sign of primitiveness and of complete idiots. Dump that stupid US Constitution and finally learn how to be a person of character. 😁 It is posts like this that made me comment that if you keep bashing the USA and calling those those who support us idiots--your posts will become irrelevant. And BTW--I love German potato salad☺️

The more you bash the USA and calling those who suport it idiots, the less significant your posts become.

The problem with the highlighted statement is that when life is present--a fertilized, living fetus---it is no longer just their own body, but 2 lives that have to be considered.

The highlighted section-independent living-- has no bearing whether or not a fetus is a living organism and when life begins. Regardless of your turning this conversation into a religious definition of life beginning at the fusion of sperm and egg-that its the scientific definition of the beginning of life--at fertilization. There should be some allowance for abortion due to rape or incest, but that is up to the people of the States and their duly elected officials to create and pass those laws.

I was not advocating for the article nor agreeing with it. Simply I was just trying to inform you how to translate an article to English. But a later post indicated you finally got it to translate---great!!!

Works for me---after opening the article, right click with your mouse, then scroll down and left click with your mouse on translate to English. Guess we need a course
