The Age of Hypocrisy: Let’s talk about ‘stolen land’…

From Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek @ Substack

A very long article … quote below is about half way through … read all at the link… these are always my thoughts currently when observing the land grabs going on in my own nation of NZ. The greater globalist plan for us is to own nothing (& be happy?)… and yes folk are standing up & resisting little realizing, given the lies we’ve been fed for centuries, that what is happening now, globally, happened to indigenous peoples first. The first great wave of land grabs….NZ lost 6 million acres by government confiscation…EBS

How do you suppose Native Americans feel about the fact that almost all, if not all of the United States’ most prestigious universities are built on stolen land.

I can tell you one thing for sure; they don’t go around blowing themselves up and killing as many innocent civilians as possible in the process. Would we all deserve it if they did? By the logic of the protestors, we would—and the protestors should be the first to submit themselves to the bombs.

Thanksgiving was about Taking

From dissidentvoice.org

No one will dispute that the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island from Umingmak Nuna (Ellesmere Island) to Tierra del Fuego were here long, long before the White Man arrived. So, if land is to be “owned,” it seems only right that the people who first settled it would become the owners. However, the Europeans who chanced upon Turtle Island claimed it in the name of their God and their rulers. Now, if Martians were to land here and claim the land, would any of the inhabitants of the western hemisphere accept that? No, because the Martians were latecomers, and they have their own planet. So by what morality do European Johnny-come-latelies lay claim to Turtle Island? And by Johnny-come-latelies, that is many millennia after the First Peoples arrived.

The First People were originally believed to have crossed the Bering Ice Bridge some 12,000 YA. That time frame has now been superseded, as even in Canada, the evidence is that Indigenous peoples were in the Bluefish Caves in Yukon 24,000 YA. And now some researchers are positing that the first humans might have been here as long as 130,000 YA. At any rate, that is many millennia longer than the first White Men, the Norsemen, who stayed for a while in Ktaqmkuk (Mi’kmaw designation for Newfoundland) back in 1000 CE.

Nonetheless, the Europeans arrived, claimed and took (stole would be an accurate verb) the continents north and south.

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Thanksgiving traces back to 1621 in the United States. In Canada, it originates with the English explorer Martin Frobisher’s third voyage in 1578. Frobisher arrived in Ktaqmkuk/Newfoundland while seeking the Northwest Passage. It was in Ktaqmkuk/Newfoundland that Frobisher had a meal of salt beef, biscuits and mushy peas to celebrate and give thanks for their safe landing.

But the arrival of the White Man was not about giving; it was about taking that has continued to this day.
