Important Southern California history - the Takic Invasion pcas.org/assets/documen…
Sutton argues that Takics split off from other Uto-Aztecans in 2000 BC, and invaded Los Angeles Basin in 1500 BC ImageImage
Lands inhabited by Takic peoples (at time of Colombus? Cabrillo?) Image
Kroeber argued that Takics invaded Los Angeles Basin ~500 AD, as shown in archaeological record by appearance of bows & arrow technology from the Great Basin. ImageImage
Cottonwood arrow technology appeared in what were or later became Takic areas around 1000 AD. Their neighbors to the north (Chumash) and south (Yumans) didn't have this technology. ImageImage
If Takics had arrived in LA before 200 AD, their arrival would have been marked by Elko or Gypsum atlatls, if in 500 AD by the Marymount arrows, and if in 1000 AD by the Cottonwood arrows. ImageImage
Takics didn't have pottery of their own, and adopted it from their southern neighbors. ImageImage
Millingstone Culture didn't have many changes 1000 BC to 1000 AD. Image
Author believes Takics went from Mojave (Lancaster?) northern Uto-Aztecan urheimat in to southern San Joaquin Valley (Bakersfield?) in 3000 BC, then were pushed south into LA in 1500 BC. Evidence he cites makes case that Takic migration could have also been 500 AD or 1000 AD. ImageImage

Greenland was not colonized by the Amerindians or their predecessors. It was only discovered in the mid-to-late 3rd millennium BC nemets.substack.com/p/greenlandImage
Image
The Belkachi people migrated across the Bering Strait in the early 3rd millennium BC. They expanded across Alaska and the American Arctic. Their descendants reached Greenland towards the end of the millennium, forming the Independence I and Saqqaq cultures. Image
Image
Image
The climate shift which led to the Bronze Age Collapse in Eurasia also afflicted the Arctic, reducing the Saqqaq to a refuge in southwestern Greenland by beginning of the first millennium BC. They were overrun by their Dorset relatives from continent in mid-1st millennium BC. Image

Nicole Parker from FBI's Miami office chalks many of the bureau's problems to its post-9/11 shift under Mueller away from crime fighting & towards intelligence collection. New class of program managers (TDYs) in DC gained power gained authority over regional office bosses (SACs) Image

the kinds of women who joined the FBI in 2010, immediately before enactment of Obama's 2011-2 DEI policies: Coast Guardette, two financiers, Air Force lawyer, accountant, hotel directoress, two engineers. Two were single mothers. Image
Image
Image
Authoress claims a minority of FBI agents do most work, a phenomenon reinforced by lack of performance pay. 60 statistics were kept for agents, & their nature drove agents to focus on simple crimes & those which afflicted celebrities. Complex financial cases were neglected. Image

apparently it was more dangerous to be a polemicist in 1870s Kansas than in the South Image
persecution of innocent poasters by hack judges & sinister feds is sadly an old American tradition Image
a hundred years before the founding of the Cannonball Run, Americans had the New Orleans to Saint Louis steamboat race. The race took a similar amount of time. Image

Thread with excerpts from "The Other Quiet Revolution: National Identities in English Canada, 1945-71" by Jose Igartua Image
Author argues national identity among English-speaking Canadians died entirely in mid-20th century, and was replaced by a broader civic identity. Nonetheless there is still an English-Canadian nation that can be seen sociologically through shared culture. Image
Image
Image
Image
90% of Canadians read at least one newspaper in 1969, compared to only 68% watching television news. Spread of opinion polling ended up restricting range of public discussion. Image

Thread with excerpts from "Lies of the Tutsi in Eastern Congo/Zaire. A Case Study: South Kivu (Pre-Colonial to 2018)" by John Kapapi Image
At the time of the 1884 Berlin Conference, what is now the eastern Congo was ruled by eight kingdoms. Rwanda had yet to be united. Per the author, Rwandan (Tutsi & Hutu) migration west of Lake Kivu was minimal at the time. Image
Image
Belgians created two chiefdoms in North Kivu. One was given to Tutsi from Hunde in 1922, & other was bought from the Hunde in 1939. Conflict with Hunde led to Tutsi preferring to flee to South Kivu during the dynastic struggles following overthrow of King Rwabugiri in 1895. Image
