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?

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...

The Dark Side of the Women's March

The recent Women's March, which took place in Washington and numerous other cities one day after the inauguration of President Trump, may go down as the largest protest in American history. Millions showed up to these events to advocate for women's issues and to protest against Donald Trump. While very few would find fault in a women's march in and of itself, upon inspecting this women's march further, some disturbing information comes to light. The Women's March was thankfully quite peaceful, unlike Inauguration Day when the group Antifa (the "anti-fascists"), although stymied by the police, were ironically able to carry out their own mini "Kristallnacht" (or rather, "Kristalltag"), smashing windows and setting fires in broad daylight. The Women's March appears to have been non-violent and there were apparently no arrests. However, problems start to manifest themselves when we look at the people who set up and spoke at th...

The Sixth Great Mass Extinction and Human Survival

Recently, there have been numerous articles about a study showing that we are in the midst of the Earth's sixth great mass extinction.  Below are some quotes, and then I will give my thoughts. "Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims." "Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley." "The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology." http://news.yahoo.com/sixth-mass-extinction-us-study-210749359.html This is sad, although it's not news.  I ...
