Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I cant believe this is legit. Can someone confirm. Same as the 1/3 burger that folks believed was smaller than a 1/4 from Mcdonalds?

When competing burger joint started selling 1/3 pound burgers to compete with McDonalds 1/4 pounder the effort failed. Americans were convinced that 1/3 is less than 1/4 because of the numbers.

Interesting... this isn't the place to discuss, but...what the hell, right?  LOL!  I'm just posing a serious question here, @Kamaji

What if the earth was tilted for a period long enough where it was so windy and snowy during the day on the Asian continent...Korea...Japanese.... that it was ingrained in their DNA forever?

What I'm wondering... how long/many thousands of millennia are we talking about, for that to happen?

I don't know what you are going on about @DCPatriot ... This are North American Natives... And not just the Umiak, Innuit, and Yupik tribes either... The Salish use snow goggles too and they extend throughout inland BC and Alberta, all the way down to right here... I am quite familiar with (and have made and used) snow goggles.

@Don't know about the earth tilting thing,but spending years living in places like northern Europe and then spending more years crossing the ice pack to get from Europe to Asia IS why Asians have slanted/slitted eyes.

Nature's law for all living creatures as well as plants is "adapt or die". She IS a heartless bitch.

@sneakypete

Nah. White folks have been in the north all the way along, and they ain't got slanty eyes.
And BTW, Eastern Native American tribes often come from caucasian heritage.

You really think the white folks weren't coming over here just like the asians all the way along?

That all depends on how you define "all along". We ain't talking about dozens of years,we are talking about centuries in some cases.

And BTW, Eastern Native American tribes often come from caucasian heritage.

No,they don't. While it is true that the native tribes in the east sometimes mixed/mated with the pale faces,NONE of the native tribes were Caucasians.

I happen to be 1/4 Tuscarora Indian,which is an offshoot of the Mohawk tribe from the northeast,and it was my grandmothers tribe that started swapping massacres with the white settlers in Virginia. It got to the point where the whites paid a native tribe from what is now South Carolina that were traditional enemies of the Tuscarora to help them fight the Tuscarora.

Didn't work.

So the whites ended up paying the Tuscarora to move back north.

With limited success. Many just went off into the swamps to hide,and nobody seemed to have any interest in going into the swamps after them.

What ended up happening was any Tuscarora that was caught became a slave,even though this was illegal at that time. They got away with it because the Tuscarora definitely weren't white,and it was a long ways and a long trip on horseback for anyone interested in complaining.

BTW,one of the traits I definitely did NOT inherit was not being afraid of heights.

You really think the white folks weren't coming over here just like the asians all the way along?

Mostly. There were a few that landed on the shores of North and South America after getting caught in big storms. They stayed because they really didn't have any way of going back to Europe,and the natives for the most part were friendlier to them than most of the people where they came from. Various Indian tribes look at taking in strangers and letting them marry into their tribes as a way of keeping the blood fresh.

BTW,when you speak of the "Asians coming here",they weren't Asians until they got to Asia. Some came south and mixed in with the various indigenous peoples already here,but most kept moving until they got to what we now call Asia. Don't ask me why because I don't have a clue,but that IS what happened,for whatever reason.

@sneakypete



I am well aware of the timeline. Throughout all of history, the men of the north have always been big and white, with red or blonde hair and blue or green eyes... As far back as you care to go... Not according to what science defines... Go look at actual testimony from authors talking about em.

I didn't say they were caucasian. I said they come from caucasian stock... Again, as far back as you would like to go, there are historical records of people writing about the Iroquois nation and the Cherokee nation speaking of red and blonde hair being present (present, not predominant), as well as green and blue eyes. Read the early French explorers and the history around Hudson's bay. That's white genes, right there.

Erickson was not the first white guy on American shores. Not by a long shot.

Shoot, there's SUMERIAN bowls and statues down in central America - And that's as far back as history goes.

Nah. There was active trade across the North... The same way Erickson and the Vikings got here, but long, long before. Northmen were following the seals exactly the same way it happened on the west coast with the Asians. Shoot, the entire bronze age happened with copper from the Great Lakes. Go look where the copper was... And the tin... And do the math.

LOL!!  Leave it to @roamer_1 

For sake of brevity I named modern countries and cultures.

I realize there are more.

Just think 1000 Millennia or more is the reason.

@roamer_1

We are not discussing history in the traditional sense. We are discussing PRE-history. A time when nothing was written because there was no such thing as writing. Or reading,obviously.

Never even implied he was. Note my statement about shipwrecked sailors.

Quote

There was a lot going on that we know nothing about,and only suspect. This is because we are talking about a time before actual writing. We are discussing Pre-History.


Quote
Nah. There was active trade across the North...


Really? Give me a date when that started,and who the traders were. And while we are at it,define what you consider to be "the north".

As for me,I am discussing a time when the "land bridge" was new.

Quote
The same way Erickson and the Vikings got here, but long, long before. Northmen were following the seals exactly the same way it happened on the west coast with the Asians.

Once again,the Vikings were modern people compared to the people that immigrated over the land bridge and came to America that way,as well as to what is now called Asia.

Could be. I know very little about Asia during that period.

A thousand millennia is a nonsensical number @DCPatriot

There is damn little actual written record beyond 4000 years. And that includes nearly everything we know.
