I expect a small amount of malicious compliance at play, but overall some AI being used to auto remove a keyword database as well as a larger project that is doing a larger reorganization project.

Sec Hegseth has been very open to the press about other aspects and entries that were removed and why, and if in error, corrected. I don't think he's a man to distort or hide any American Heros actions and achievements.

I doubt anything malicious from anyone other than previous appointees or employees.

I didn't trust the young major to have neither much of a clue nor the maturity to do the job particularly well to begin with. Lord knows, to date, he has met my every expectation.

I SPEAK ON BEHALF of a sizeable portion of South Africa [of all races] who would once and for all like to know exactly which whites stole which pieces of land and from which blacks.

The message that goes out from the presumptuous EFF and thus indirectly from the ANC is that all land was stolen from all blacks by all whites...

Not only does Juliass malema makes such false statements, but many others too who support him, so this is a serious issue which requires serious clarity. Let’s look at one small example.

In 1834 the king of the Pondos, King Faku, gave the land between the Mbashe and Mkomazi rivers to the Dutch settlers on the condition that they go and live there.

He wanted them as a buffer between him and Dingane who constantly stole his cattle and tried to chase him off his land.

Another agreement was in February 1838, when Dingane himself signed a treaty allowing Piet Retief and his group of approximately 100 Voortrekkers to occupy the land between the Tegula River and Port St. John's.. (a copy of this agreement can still be found today).

In 1825, when Shaka met the British for the first time, he allowed the British to take control of what was then called Port Natal, and, in return for this gesture, 2 British commanders, known as Fynn and Farewell, presented Shaka with beads, brass, blankets made of cloth, and other small inventions that could have very easily been brought over by ship.

These are just a few examples of some land that whites legally, or by mutual agreement, acquired from blacks. These stretches of land, and the farms on this land today, certainly cannot be defined as stolen...

Our history is littered with such barters and gifts, where land was traded for cattle or in many cases given as a reward for returning lost or stolen cattle from a neighbouring tribe to its original tribe. As for King Faku, the question is whether the land was Faku’s to give in the first place. He, or his predecessor, undoubtedly took it by force from another hapless black tribe...

Stealing, you may call it. Of course Dingaan also tried to get his hands on it. He, and particularly Shaka before him, “stole” massive pieces of land; in fact they chased the Matabele people off their land, all the way to Zimbabwe where they still live.

The Matabele may argue that a large part of South Africa rightfully belongs to them and that the current black inhabitants should depart. Needless to say that, even before the black tribes started “stealing” land from each other, the San people lived here.

They have the strongest claim of all.

To add a twist, by studying old documents and reading old diaries, you discover that vast areas of land were uninhabited when the Dutch arrived, basically no-man’s land. These areas got occupied and vacated almost at random, as a result of regional wars (or exterminations by other tribes) that took place from time to time.

The only difference between the Dutch who settled there and the previous occupants, who were gone, was that the Dutch were able to defend their positions and were not driven away.

I’m not sure how to bring this letter to the attention of juliass [race mad] malema and those who think like him. It is a very serious issue, since the disregard of treaties, no matter how old, tends to de-stabilize whole regions.

We need clarity about the grounds on which juju malema's own claims are based...
[...for the record....he is a Zimbabwean living here and spreading race hatred in south africa...]

If he is not interested in historic fact or the historic treaties that his forefathers entered into (not to mention those made by the ANC with the NP in 1994), and if he simply wants to seize land belonging to whites, then he is of course, planning to cause unrest, ,

Here are certain crooked politicians that on purpose mislead the [deliberate unschooled?] jobless voting masses [and overseas liberals?] into a land/property war,....... that can become very-very ugly....!

So then, all Africans will enthusiastically remove themselves from all historically "white" lands like Europe without compensation and we will only visit the purified land of Africa after a racial reset in order to sing Kumbayaa. Wonder about the non white, yet not black African residents--I suppose they are just a bunch of cheaters/squatters who must leave without complaint or legal recourse.

How refreshing it would be to see any post colonial government in Africa that IS NOT a total screwup.

 

[Rocked and Loaded]

If this is true, it is sickening and beyond stupid.

Like the Enola Gay photo (can't make it up), I have to wonder if it wasn't done deliberately as a way of making a point about the blanket nature of the guidance.

I have trouble believing that this could be anything other than malicious compliance by those opposed to the administration’s policies.

How well did North Americans assimilate with the natives of the time?

You mean the "natives", many of whom came across the Bering land bridge from Asia? They were literally still living in the Stone Age in NA due to the vast resources at their disposal and lost the war to a better armed, more technologically advanced people. It was much like many other conflicts throughout the world.

Am I in the wrong here, or is Namibia not the answer to that?
I thought they were reasonable?

One thing I am puzzled about. If the intend is to cut defense budget by 8% each year then why did the recently passed CR increased it by $6B?

Seems to be a disconnect somewhere.

The history of the world is one civilization concurring others.

We are in a brief period of apologies and appeasement.

I suspect we will resume our historical nature soon...



(No telling how it plays out...)


But, I will would bet against the wimps.
