The US Was Founded on Stolen Indigenous Land

How can you seal land that isn’t a country

May want to take a peek at Mexico first.

So much for the evil white people gig.

We stole it from the folks who stole it from the folks who were there before.

Throughout history, “To the victors go the spoils [of war]” has always been true. You cannot repeal that simple fact. Yet, in this namby-pamby time, the losers can re-open past wars and probably win in the courtroom.

Meanwhile, our enemies laugh and laugh as they plan to destroy us.

To the victors go the spoils
The wheel medicine ships houses crops......................

The indigenous people had none of that the Europeans probably saved their lives in the long run.

Mt. Rushmore was never occupied by Lakota. They worshipped in the black Hills but would not live in them. Also the land the Lakota did have.... they stole from the Cheyanne. So there is that....

Throughout history, war has been brutal. Victor D Hanson often points out that the victors often wiped the defeated off the face of the earth. Raped their women, enslaved their children, killed all the males adolescent and above, razed the cities to rubble, destroyed all their history and written records.

The world had gotten a lot more civilized in 2,000 years and we had a strong abolitionist movement in the 1830s-1850s.

The abolitionist ethos that had become commonplace by the 1870s argued against completely exterminating the Indians and the Indians were not exterminated. Yes their land area shrank to a few percent of what it used to be, but they and their culture survived, albeit in a greatly weakened state.

But perhaps they should be thankful that American Christianity saved them from extermination.

Did you know indigenous people stolen Land wiped the defeated off the face of the earth raped their women, enslaved their children.

Indians were not above owning slaves one bit very few tribes got along they had their own Marxist view of how life is to be like.

The evil white gig doesn’t fit in history well.

“Way out in the islands and the coconut trees
The pearly shells and the tropical breeze
There’s a hill-billy gal from Tennessee
My Hill-Billy Hula Gal!

“She’s had enough of the hills an’ me
So she’s takin’ hula lessons in Waikiki
I guess she’s right where she wants to be
My Hill-Billy Hula Gal...

“She never used to give a hoot
For coconuts or taro root
She’s a country girl livin’ in the Islands now
She’s tryin’ to get the hula girls to show her how

“When she gets through with this fantasy
C’mon back to Tennessee
Back with me where she’s s’posed t’be
My Hill-Billy Hula Gal!

“My Hill-Billy Hoo-aloo-la Gal!!!”

—Music and lyrics by Junior Brown

well then...since virtually EVERYONE on the planet died in the great flood, except Noah and his family and a salesmen in a rowboat(James colburn), ALL of the land belongs to their descendants. seems most of it to the “salesmen” and his progeny and the rest to Noah and his progeny. we are all qwap out of luck when push comes to shove. of course in the very end it all comes down to the biggest guns and who’s willing to use them. the rest of us do not matter. smile! looks like it will all be over sooner than you think.

All the historic wrongs perpetuated by democrats (and their leftist’s brethren) throughout all time.. can only be made right by seizing all their assets... followed by their execution.
Problem solved.
