Thanks to new EU rules, Google has over reacted to restrict a TON of their new videos. So I encourage you to check the channel out- they do "live" coverage of the war, and we are almost exactly one year from the end of the war next Sept.
They need support to get through the last year of the war. https://www.youtube.com/@WorldWarTwo

documentary series coming in November.
interesting context:
Shabazz family is currently suing the CIA, FBI and others to the tune of $100,000,000.00 over the death of Malcolm
King family: United in their belief JER did not shoot Martin (see King v. Jowers court case)
JFK: well we mostly know it, but now 60 years later a secret service agent says “oh man, maybe I should tell people about the bullet I found in the back seat of the limo which discredits the magic bullet theory” see Paul Landis all over the news now
RFK: Harvard psychologist Dr. Dan Brown on his finding Sirhan’s “range mode”: https://youtu.be/lCU2MCxjAJ0?si=JEuXQZL_041WRx2s
Given the above this documentary should kick ***!Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

Today I learned* that the Irish Potato Famine AND tomato based Italian pasta sauces are both thanks to their "discovery" in the new world (Americas) and introduction to Europe in the 15th or 16th century.
And I can thank Terrible Maps for that.

The real history of Columbus they don't want to teach in schools:
On this very day in 1492, a British explorer by the name of Christopher Columbus sat sail in his beloved ship, the Mayflower, in search of a better life.
When he crossed the Pacific and landed at Plymouth Rock, what he discovered exceeded his wildest imagination - it was the United States of America, the land of opportunity and the oldest and greatest country on Earth.
Once he saw the stars and stripes, he never sat foot in England again.
Thank you, Lord Columbus, for literally discovering us.

After expounding on the rights to be afforded to the conquered, Justice Marshall stated as follows:
But the tribes of Indians inhabiting this country were fierce savages whose occupation was war and whose subsistence was drawn chiefly from the forest. To leave them in possession of their country was to leave the country a wilderness; to govern them as a distinct people was impossible because they were as brave and high spirited as they were fierce, and were ready to repel by arms every attempt on their independence.
An inauspicious and paternalistic start (in the law) to the whole mess.Last edited by burd; 11-20-2023, 03:07 PM.

Hell, Jackson might have suited up and started the whole thing without approval. He had a habit of doing that.

But in 1814 we took a little trip, along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip!

Of course I'm a fan of the Vikings. A sick and demented Masochist of a fan, but a fan none the less.
