The EU's True Nature Is Revealed

The EU is desperately and pathetically trying to cling to Gibraltar as the UK leaves the union. Even though Gibraltar has been exclusively British for over 300 years, Spain and the EU are now attempting to claim the land. This illustrates how the EU truly thinks. They put on a happy persona, saying that they are not an empire that sucks the sovereignty out of every place that they touch, yet when push comes to shove, they act exactly like such an empire.

The Spanish government, some of the biggest hypocrites on in the Western world, think that they should automatically own Gibraltar because it is "touching" Spain and not the rest of the UK (which is like saying that Alaska is Canadian because it is "touching" Canada and not the rest of the US)...yet they themselves have two enclaves, Ceuta and Melilla, which are "touching" Morocco and not the rest of Spain. Now THAT is the height of hypocrisy. I don't know how some people got the idea into their heads that every country has to be "contiguous". Also, Gibraltar has complete control over its own matters, except for "defence and foreign relations", and they want to stay British.

Hmm... This reminds me a bit of another Spanish-speaking country that in 1982 also believed that its "proximity" to a completely British land that wanted to remain British gave it authority to simply claim it as their own. Do you remember how that turned out?

Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...

2020 Was (Will Be) An Inside Job

My Election Prediction: Trump will lose. I think that the collusion of corporate media with big tech is too powerful for the minds of regular people to resist. The propaganda was non-stop, and enough people have fallen for it. I think that without the censorship, and with a modicum of objectivity in the media, Trump would win. Sure, people have their own reasons for supporting both Trump and Biden (= not Trump). Some of those reasons on both sides are sound. But a decent percentage of people are mindless consumers of propaganda, and these people will ultimately decide the election. 2016 shocked the deep state and their corporate overlords, but since their stunning loss, they made sure to do everything in their power so as not to suffer a similar defeat this time. They covered all of their bases, along with the mouths of those whose speech they feared. Meanwhile, Americans as a group no longer really care about the freedom of speech, and many are lukewarm on the idea of America ...
