Straight To The Moon
The European Commission hired 150 Gestapo agents to eavesdrop on the conversation between Musk and Weidel with the aim of connecting Elon with some newly crime against democracy.
Europe MUST reform. Total lunatics lead the EU straight into the abyss.
I was furious when I couldn't orange pill my family and friends. I've come to peace with it.
We continue the series of posts about Greenland, America and land purchases. Check out the previous posts if you are interested.
The so-called Louisiana Purchase is certainly the most important expansion of the USA by purchase in its entire history. As I said, everyone knows about the purchase of Alaska from the Russians, but this is far more important.
I don't know if this huge piece is officially bigger than Alaska (which is huge) or Greenland (which is also huge), but these are wastelands on the edge of space, and this is the center, the "core" of what is now the USA.
It should be said that France controlled a very small part of this territory at the time, so it was not a territory that was purchased, but the right for the USA to fight (or negotiate) with the Indians and annex their territory. France is giving up its "right" and will not cause problems for the Americans.
Although Foreign Minister Talleyrand was against the plan, Napoleon (who was not yet Emperor but "First Consul" or something), on April 10, 1803, told Finance Minister François Barbé-Marbois that he was considering selling the Louisiana Territory to the United States. As early as April 11, 1803, a few days before Monroe's arrival, Barbé-Marbois offered Livingston all of Louisiana for $15 million, equivalent to about $371 million today. The American representatives had been prepared to pay up to $10 million for New Orleans and the surrounding area, but were stunned when they were offered a much larger area for $15 million. Jefferson authorized Livingston only to purchase New Orleans. However, Livingston was confident that the United States would accept the offer and took it all.
This, after the independence of the original 13 colonies from England, was probably the most important event in the westward expansion of the United States. The newly conquered territory did not immediately become states, in fact the only civilized part was New Orleans and Louisiana, a city and state that still have a strong French tradition.
This is where the idea of Manifest Destiny was born, an expansionist, nationalist, and today we would say maybe racist idea that the entire width of the continent belongs to the USA by "God's right" and that the expansion goes all the way to the Pacific. The colonists then went west, there were occasional conflicts with the Indians, certain pieces of land first became "territory" and later "states", etc. Wild west, material for westerns.
And all that for not so much money. Alaska was bought for $7.2 million, today's equivalent of $129 million.
Although everyone laughs at the Russians for selling it cheaply, this was much cheaper, for a much more important territory. However, the important difference is that Russia actually and effectively controlled the southern coast of Alaska, while France actually controlled almost nothing of this territory, only claiming it, which they gave up for a handful of dollars.
When exactly did Soros become the real president of the European Commission?
Journalists these days write that Trump wants to attack Greenland militarily. Here's the problem - it can't because the US military IS already in Greenland. It is also the only army there, so it would be pointless for America to attack itself.
Journalists are afraid of war with the USA, but that war will never come. If Trump really wants to take over Greenland - which the US has been funding and defending all along - all it will take is changing the flag on the town hall. There will be no shot fired.
But if the Russians attack Greenland - and that is a more realistic possibility because Greenland is strategically important - then we are all in the dark because the American troops who are supposed to defend it have been sent to some kind of training for retardation 😁
Maybe Germany is buying 🤣
People say it is luck.
But what about sacrificing short term thrills for long term gains.
What a joke!
The EU has imposed CO2 rules on its manufacturers and now Stellantis (Fiat, Citroen, Alfa, Opel, Peugeot...) buys credits from the American Tesla to meet those rules🤣🤣
The conspiracy theorists are right again!
And of course when they stop emigrating to Western capitalist countries in search of a better life.
I will become an anti-globalist and right-winger when all those who throw around the epithet "globalist" on social media give up their cell phones, foreign cars, social media, clothes (which are 90% imported), food (which is mostly imported), and all the other beautiful benefits of globalization.
Zuckerberg was never happy with fact checkers, he didn't call for them or ask for them. He was never part of the left wing, his views did NOT change after the election. Months BEFORE the election he released a statement claiming that Biden's people were demanding censorship. Why would he release that before the election if he was for the Democrats? It makes no sense.
He introduced fact checkers because he suffered unimaginable pressure from politicians and the media. He is a businessman who is responsible to the shareholders of his company, and their greatest fear is bad publicity in the media. The media had a terribly strong influence on the public a few years ago (now they don't anymore).
Zuckerberg was relieved after Trump's victory because now EU bureaucrats will no longer be able to hang around his neck. That's all. He is basically a good guy and he hasn't changed.
Today I listened to the Podcast on how to make a million dollars. According to the calculation, it would take about 5 years and you would have to work 15-16 hours a day. Of course, no one guarantees that you will succeed.
I'm thinking, isn't it better to earn 1 million Sats and simply wait for 1 Sat to equal 1 Dollar?
In my humble opinion, when you get 1 Sat for 1 cent, we are very close to 1 Sat being 1 Dollar.
Change my mind
The worst thing is that as a nation, we are at such a level of civic, democratic, and political (un)awareness that we have a system in place that prevents and discourages better-qualified people from getting involved in politics and being better candidates than the ones we have now. This is, unfortunately, the best that this system allows.
Fly me to the moon...
If the Americans bought Greenland from Denmark, it wouldn't be their first such deal. Americans have bought a lot of things, and their most famous purchase is the purchase of Alaska from Russia, which everyone knows about. They bought from the Russians, the French, the Spanish, just about anything that comes to mind without Googling.
However, they also bought very specifically from the Danes, and few people know about this.
In 1917, in the middle of World War II, the USA bought the then neutral Denmark - the US Virgin Islands. The price was 25 million dollars. Online calculators say that this is the equivalent of $661 million in today's value. Realistically, a bargain; Trump's son is buying this with the pocket money his dad gives him.
Before the purchase, the property was called the Danish West Indian Islands (De dansk-vestindiske øer).
There you go. The Danes had colonies in the Caribbean, and at some point they sold them because they couldn't afford them anymore. The Swedes had some too.
The US Virgin Islands are today an overseas territory of the US, like Puerto Rico, Guam or American Samoa. There are 87,000 of them.
My goal is simple.
More sats than yesterday.
