@GuntherEagleman Amen Bro - I am a California native and see the Mexican flag all over our community. I love Mexico & Mexicans, but dammit I don't flaunt the American flag when I am in their country. 👍🇺🇸
No John - I am a student of history:
Please consider this: The bomb we dropped on Hiroshima was a uranium bomb. We had NEVER tested a uranium bomb - we just built it and dropped it. WHY? Because we KNEW it would work. The test at the Trinity site in New Mexico in July 1945 was a plutonium bomb and we were NOT sure it would work. The Iranians know this - they KNOW a uranium bomb will work - that's why they are building a large stock pile of uranium.
Do you have any doubts that when they got enough, that they would start dropping nukes everywhere? Yeah, thought so!
Because a nuclear weapon needs +90% enriched uranium - they weren't there yet.

@TrumpsHurricane According to the national park service records of union civil war soldiers MANY of them with my family name fought for the freedom of those enslaved. So HELL NO not one cent for reparations. My family has already paid more than our fair share. 🇺🇸🌩️
@RightScopee He is NOT swimming in money. He is using it to help everyone - even the sh|t for brains people who are scheming to grab his wealth so that they can bait the sub 80 IQ people into voting for them.
A burning question today: Has Communism ever worked successfully? The answer is YES!
And it worked for 800 years!
Per Grok: “...communism is explicitly intended as a radically egalitarian society.” Additionally, “..Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels described communism as the endpoint of historical development: a classless, stateless, moneyless society where the means of production are collectively owned.”
On The Chatham Islands, 500 Miles East of New Zealand, -- 8 centuries of independence came to a brutal end for the Moriori people in December 1835.
The Chathams had the simplest, most egalitarian society.
While those islands retained the original Polynesian tradition of having chiefs, their chiefs wore little or no visible signs of distinction, lived in ordinary huts like those of commoners, and grew or caught their food like everyone else.
The chiefs had few resources to command, decisions were reached by general discussion, and land ownership rested with the community as a whole, rather than with the chiefs.
The Chathams are relatively small and remote islands, capable of supporting a total population of only about 2,000 hunter-gatherers.
With no other accessible islands to colonize, the Moriori had to remain in the Chathams, and to learn how to get along with each other. They did so by renouncing war, and they reduced potential conflicts from overpopulation by castrating some male infants. The result was a small, unwarlike population with simple technology and weapons, and without strong leadership or organization.
As for the types of artifacts made (technology), the Chatham Islanders required little more than hand-held clubs and sticks to kill seals, birds, and lobsters. On the Chathams, those artifacts were small. relatively simple, and individually produced and owned, Architecture consisted of nothing more than simple huts. Each household made what it needed; there was little or no economic specialization.
An Australian seal-hunting ship visiting the Chathams en route to New Zealand brought the news to New Zealand of islands where "there is an abundance of sea and shellfish; the lakes swarm with eels; and it is a land of the karaka berry… The inhabitants are very numerous, but they do not understand how to fight, and have no weapons."
That news was enough to induce 900 Maori to sail to the Chathams.
On November 19, 1835 a ship carrying 500 Maori armed with guns, clubs, and axes arrived, followed on December 5 by a shipload of 400 more Maori. Groups of Maori began to walk through Moriori settlements, announcing that the Moriori were now their slaves, and killing those who objected. An organized resistance by the Moriori could still then have defeated the Maori, who were outnumbered two to one. However, the Moriori had a tradition of resolving disputes peacefully. They decided in a council meeting not to fight back but to offer peace, friendship, and a division of resources.
Before the Moriori could deliver that offer, the Maori attacked en masse. Over the course of the next few days, they killed hundreds of Moriori, cooked and ate many of the bodies, and enslaved all the others, killing most of them too over the next few years as it suited their whim.
A Maori conqueror explained, "We took possession... in accordance with our customs and we caught all the people. Not one escaped. Some ran away from us, these we killed, and others we killed—but what of that? It was in accordance with our custom."
