The funniest thing is that the CIA can be using you as a tool without your own knowledge, look up what they did with American Jazz artistes from during the Cold War, look up Louis Armstrong’s African Tour and the agenda behind it.
You can’t be smarter than an agency that was toppling governments before your father was born.
And they just had to submit an essay to Cornell to “mitigate their conduct” 🙂 Matthew Ingalls, Johnathan Newell, Winston Lee, Gillio Lopes, Diego Sarabia, Scott Norris, and Scott Kretzschmar, you are rapist scum
The Europeans knew what he was. Then chose not to look. Then pretended it would all go away, if they appeased him until the end of his term. Very boomer mentality from work to geopolitics. Story of all US allies right now.
There are 196 tribes on Earth that still refuse all contact with outsiders. Brazil has 115 of them, more than any country, and its government flies planes over their villages on purpose.
The flyovers exist because of a brutal catch in how Brazil protects land. Forest only gets shielded as Indigenous territory if FUNAI, the Indigenous affairs agency, can prove isolated people actually live there. No proof, and loggers and miners move in. So agents photograph longhouses and gardens from the air, confirm the tribe exists, and never land.
The word "uncontacted" hides the real history. Most of these groups descend from people who met the outside world during the rubber boom a century ago, when enslavement and disease killed roughly 90% of western Amazonia's Indigenous population. Their ancestors ran deeper into the forest and never came back out.
The ones who did come out show why.
The Nahua in Peru were contacted in 1984 after oil exploration opened their land. Half of them were dead within a few years, mostly from colds and flu. The Matis in Brazil were contacted in 1978. Five years later, 87 of them were left. The Panará lost 80% of their people in the eight years after a highway was bulldozed through their forest.
A respiratory bug that costs you three days on the couch can erase half a village with no immunity to it.
So Brazil settled on the strangest conservation policy on Earth. Prove they exist. Guard the borders. Never say hello.
Mark my words, the U.S. will hand over Taiwan, Guam, and a few smaller Hawaiian islands in exchange for a Chinese embassy in Jerusalem, and the signature on the paper will be a “China hawk.”
So the leftist who isn’t afraid to take bold stands is popular, and the moderate who carefully avoids upsetting conservatives is not.
I wonder if the Democrats will take any lessons from this.
The biggest mistake in American history was not dragging Trump off to prison within 24 hours of January 6th. And we'll pay for that for the rest of our lives.
How did Europeans basically rob and loot the entire world only for we Africans to get stereotyped as thieves and criminals??😂😂
Humanity is really cooked if people are this stupid.😂😂
Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).”
Netanyahu has dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of ~22 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey
Hot off successfully replacing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, Trump has now successfully replaced the 1951 US-Denmark treaty with the 1951 US-Denmark treaty. A record to run on!
china in africa is one of the worst things in today’s geopolitics and the way people will defend or explain it away is violent considering how widely dangerous the exploitation is: dual coast pollution, ecocide (e.g. overfishing), labor violations, SETTLERS and more
Of… course he did. The GOP will bark Bible verses at you all day every day, but behind closed doors they’re all a bunch of disgusting fucking perverts.
