Totally feasible with today’s technology.
Large satellite, in orbit between the Earth and Moon, projector facing the Moon.
And then there’s the dark side of the moon. There may well be an interplanetary market that has yet to be tapped. We could have one big sign saying: “Juiciest Brains, Best Slaves, 34,000 Miles” or “Want an Easy Conquest? Our Puny Weapons Are No Match for your Superior Intellect. Contact Sal. 1-800...”
Excellent! Why settle for an international Jooo! conspiracy. Look to the stars.

Personally I think these designations are silly.

Well, I’m excited about celebrating this this May’s month events. Particularly the Jewish-American festivities.
Seriously, how are people supposed to celebrate these months? I know that black American month to self is it quite a bit, particularly in primary schools, but other than that, what is there? There will definitely be no celebrating of the Jewish people. And my gosh, it will be absolutely zero celebrating of actual Jewish people, living in Israel. Nope, we cannot have that. It just wouldn’t be prudent. /sarc
Yes! What an awesome idea! Let us bring the Jewish people and the Muslim people together, where they can live in harmony, at the edge of a rainbow, or they will all share happily in the endless pots of gold.
See how there are no German times?
Beyond the English baseline, the biggest immigrant group EVER, over the ENTIRE republic, the biggest cultural influence, the biggest genetic influence.
Not one recognition OR chest-thumping. (Yeah, it goes both ways - many are because of the “I’m a big deal” arrogant braggadocio.)
Eh...huh?
Irish are the original PCers. They have a whole day (which should be a Saint’s day, as in Ireland) and have had so for a century+ complete with very public parades.
Lots of falsehoods there, punctuated by the control and corruption Irish had EARLY with Tammany Hall in NYC.
I was mostly making fun of heritage months and heritage days, and what a crock it is, not the Irish per se. Made utterly blasphemous fun of Jewish heritage month, and I’m Jewish. I appreciate what Trump was doing by his proclamations, but proclamations of special ethnic months themselves are fundamentally ridiculous.
It was a GW Bush and Arlen Spector idea.
They introduced bowling, and picnics, and taverns, and lager beer, and accordians and covered wagons. What’s not to like about Germans. Why, they even were put in internment camps during both world wars, but only those actually born in Germany. As for the Japanese, they stuck all the yellow devils in there during WW II, but still it wasn’t nice to do that to the Germans, even to that limited extent. And so they should get reparations. Mach schnell!
what no white people month? No albino aborigine and midget bowlers month? No Hirsute syndrome day? BLASPHEMY! hash tag me-me-me-me toooooo
We can definitely agree.
I’m sick of all this balkanization. It’s childish as well as seeming a bit insecure and also boastful.
I’m a woman, BTW, and I don’t feel any great need to talk “women’s history”. Esp. when I know it will be celebrations of LIBERAL (commie/socialist/forerunners) women.
Much of our Christmas exhuberance comes from the German side. Authentic colonial “English” Christmases will not actually feature that much decoration or anything.
Interesting about internment camps; I’d like to know more but basically what I get is that Germans and Italians were also due to go to camps. Probably like you said, natives, but either way it ended up limited (probably partly it wasn’t easy to pick them out - wonder if any Chinese in CA got camped). My mom’s family (or dad’s - totally different locales) NOR her best-friend Italian family never had any trouble in WWII. There was more “discrimination” in WWI against mom’s family meat plant.
