It's Happened Before???

Scientists Solve Mystery of Collapse of Ancient Tibetan Civilization

"Scientists have solved the mystery of the collapse of an ancient civilization living on the fringes of the Tibetan Plateau around 2,000 BC, and it seems that climate change is to blame.

That's at least according to a new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which details how cooling global temperatures at the end of the Holocene Climatic Optimum - a 4,000 year period of warm weather - would have made it impossible for these ancient people to cultivate millet, their primary food source."

And is was global cooling?????

...from the "you can't make this shit up" file:


Mt. Holyoke, The Vagina Monologues, and why “The Coming College Decline” is a good thing


"Ronald Brownstein, in a National Journal article entitled “The Coming College Decline,” has noticed that the college bubble is getting near bursting. He thinks that’s a bad thing for racial reasons. According to him, the ones dropping out of college are minorities, who will be the youthful majority in a couple of decades. When that time comes, we’ll be back to a pre-baby boom society, one in which the largest share of working adults have not gone to college. To Brownstein, this demographic change is a reason to take Obama up on his offer to give people “free” community college. We know, of course, that only the moon and stars are free; for everything else, someone’s got to pay.

I have to part ways with Brownstein. I think that it would be a wonderful thing if the bubble collapsed and fewer Americans went to college. Why? Because colleges don’t teach anymore, they corrupt."
Emphasis mine.

Israel and Arabs - Truth Telling

timap

"It should be remembered that in 1918, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Britain and France were handed more than 5,000,000 square miles to divvy up and 99% was given to the Arabs to create countries that did not exist previously. Less than 1% was given as a Mandate for the re-establishment of a state for the Jews on both banks of the Jordan River. In 1921, to appease the Arabs once again, another three quarters of that less than 1% was given to a fictitious state called Trans-Jordan."

More Stuff The Indian Industry Ain't Gonna Like

Don't Blame Columbus for All the Indians' Ills
"Most of what scholars know about the Iroquois comes from European accounts. Very little of this information is flattering. These negative views result because Europeans settling in North America first came to encounter the Huron, Naragansett, and Algonquin tribes, who were enemies to the Iroquois. These tribes had become oppressed by the Iroquois nations after they had formed their confederation; prior to the League these three tribes were actually the dominant tribes of Native Americans in the Northeast. Later, these tribes were also among the first to accept Catholicism, which added favor in the eyes of the French. When the Europeans accepted the friendship of these tribes, however, they accepted the enmity of the Iroquois as well.

It is also important to establish that the practices of the Iroquois were more than the exaggeration and hearsay of excitable Frenchmen. The Iroquois surely performed torture upon war captives; many European settlers viewed first-hand the mutilated body-parts of war captives. However, there has been some doubt in the current century that cannibalism was really practiced by the Iroquois. Anthropologist W. Arens proposed in 1979 that there were no first-hand accounts of flesh eating among the Native Americans, and thus no solid proof for cannibalism. This controversial view has been refuted since, for there is indeed ample evidence in The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents alone to prove Arens’s thesis wrong."
Adoption or Entree
"Of all the North American Indian tribes, the seventeenth-century Iroquois are the most renowned for their cruelty towards other human beings. Scholars know that they ruthlessly tortured war prisoners and that they were cannibals; in the Algonquin tongue the word Mohawk actually means "flesh-eater." There is even a story that the Indians in neighboring Iroquois territory would flee their homes upon sight of just a small band of Mohawks. Ironically, the Iroquois were not alone in these practices. There is ample evidence that most, if not all, of the Indians of northeastern America engaged in cannibalism and torture—there is documentation of the Huron, Neutral, and Algonquin tribes each exhibiting the same behavior."

‘Before the white man came? War’
"Although we at End Race Based Law have no desire to re-open historical wounds, others — particularly the revisionist academics and Indian leaders of the ‘Aboriginal Industry’ — are busily rewriting history to suit their political agenda. Therefore, we will do our best to present the documented historical reality, lest it be buried beneath the massive propaganda outpouring of a billion-dollar, race-based Industry. We are told over and over again that before Europeans {‘White Man’} came to North America, all was peace and tranquility. It seems that this is just another fabricated historical myth.

“We’ve deluded ourselves into believing in the myth of the noble and peaceful primitive… Lawrence Keeley calculates that 87% of primitive societies were at war more than once per year, and some 65% of them were fighting continuously.

“Had the same casualty rate been suffered by the population of the twentieth century,” writes Wade, “its war deaths would have totaled two billion people.”"

Yup. Political correctness is getting a real sound and long overdue beating. Academe must be soiling their collective pants.

Political Correctness

I've read a few articles that suggest it is. 'bout time, I say:


‘How We Teach History Matters Most'


[---]
“Political correctness carried to ludicrous extremes…would be — and is — history that teaches Canadians, native-born and recent arrivals, that their country is an abomination.

“Unfortunately, that is the history that is today being taught to Canadian children. Yet, to anyone with eyes to see, Canada is not a failure, but an overwhelming success. What is happening in our schools is political indoctrination, grounded in unbalanced historical nonsense…
[---]
"MUCH OF THE TEACHING FOCUSES ON THE MALTREATMENT OF ABORIGINALS AND IMMIGRANTS, THE ABUSE OF WOMEN, AND THE EVILS OF CAPITALISM."
