Agelbert NOTE: Henry Wallace knew what was coming and did his
best to prevent it. That is why the Traitorous American Fascists
took him down. The Fascist Representatives of Wall Street then
began their march to total Fascism in the USA. We are there.

[center]The Truth Of The Wounded Knee Massacre Of December 29th
1890[/center]

Interesting. In a parallel universe, I am re-reading Evan
Connell's masterful "Son of the Morning Star," a biographer of
Custer and many of his contemporaries, including Sitting Bull.
The proximate cause of Little Bighorn was the discovery of gold
in the Black Hills, so, of course, the Sioux had to go. As well
as the buffalo, for the railroads. Reading excerpts from
newspapers of that time calling for a war of extermination on
"Lo" (as in "Lo, the noble savage...") is eerily familiar.
Remember how while Americans were horrified when Rap Brown said,
"Violence is as American as cherry pie?"[/quote]
I didn't know about the discovery of gold in the Black Hills
triggering the Little Bighorn, but I am not surprised. Americans
were, and still are, quite willing to wipe an entire people or
culture out, if they are told said culture or people is in the
way of "progress". Many will claim that is not so. They are
deluding themselves.
Over the years I have tried to figure out how and when this
happened, beyond the normal tendency of the average human being
to engage in murder and mayhem if the the government backs it,
of course. For example, Americans were quite willing to
slaughter each other during the Civil War. Who were these
people? They were mostly peaceful farmers who used rifles to to
protect their property and to occasionally hunt.
After the Civil War, the NEXT big war changed the American
soldier's character for good (i.e. for REALLY BAD!). The Spanish
American War, though small and insignificant compared with WWI,
played a singular role in brutalizing the averge male American
far beyond the experience of warring Native Americans or fellow
Americans in the Civil War.
In the Philippines, the concentration camp slow torture and
deliberate selective murder of unarmed relatives (women and
children) was perfected for the purpose of getting the
"insurgents" to surrender, at which time they were double
crossed and mostly killed too. The "patriotic" murder of people
outside our country, who looked a little different, then became
part of the mindset of the average male American. If the soldier
wasn't racist before he went into the military, he became a
racist while there.
By the time the really big wars came along, even the "Geneva
Convention", that happened somewhere along the way to our
present murdering madness, did little or nothing to stop routine
massacres and torture and murder of unarmed prisoners just for
the hell of it.
Remember the Special Forces soldiers in Afghanistan around 2003
that, after they had murdered women "accidentally", went through
the "trouble" of extracting the bullets from the bodies so that
American ordnance would not be found in the victims? You know,
you have to have sunk to a completely monstrous level of empathy
deficit disordered cold logic to even contemplate such a
monstrous act. Yet these well trained elite American forces did
it without batting an eye. I will never thank them for that
"service".
Several generations of war and media approved racism of the
"other" have made most American males into the most bellicose,
morally depraved, unrepentant, history challenged, might is
right believing killing machines in the history of the world.
The rest of the nations of the world are well advised to fear
us. Trump or no Trump, this country's soldiers are second only
to Catastrophic Climate Change as an extinction threat to
humanity.
