What Real American Looks Like... The genocide of Native American peoples stands as one of history’s darkest and most devastating chapters. For centuries, Indigenous nations endured conquest marked by extraordinary brutality. Communities were massacred, driven from their ancestral homelands at gunpoint, and forced to undertake devastating marches across unforgiving landscapes, where countless men, women, and children died from starvation, disease, and exhaustion. Entire villages were destroyed, food supplies deliberately targeted, and sacred lands seized in the relentless pursuit of territorial expansion and wealth. Treaties were repeatedly signed and later broken when they no longer served the interests of those seeking greater control over Indigenous lands. Promises of peace were often reduced to empty words, leaving Native nations to face continued displacement and violence. Children were also taken from their families and sent to boarding schools, where they were often punished for speaking their languages and practicing their traditions. These institutions sought to suppress Indigenous cultures and identities, causing deep and lasting harm to generations of Native families. This history was not simply about the seizure of land; it was also an assault on communities, cultures, identities, and futures. The suffering inflicted across generations represents a devastating human cost of colonial expansion, while the effects continue to be felt by many Indigenous communities today. Remembering this history is not about dwelling on the past—it is about confronting it honestly and recognizing the resilience of the people who survived and preserved their cultures despite immense injustice.

‼️Podczas procesów norymberskich Hermann Göring, siedząc w więzieniu, udzielił rozmowy, w której powiedział między innymi: „Ludzie z natury nie pragną wojny. Który rolnik chciałby narażać życie, skoro jego największym marzeniem jest spokojny powrót na własne gospodarstwo w jednym kawałku? Nikt nie chce wojny, ani w Niemczech, ani w Rosji, Anglii czy Ameryce. To jasne. Ale ostatecznie decyzje podejmują przywódcy. I przekonanie społeczeństwa, by poszło za nimi, wcale nie jest trudne. Nieważne, czy chodzi o demokrację, monarchię, komunizm czy dyktaturę”. Na uwagę dziennikarza, że w demokracji ludzie mają prawo głosu i mogą wpływać na decyzje poprzez swoich przedstawicieli, Göring odparł spokojnie: „To może i prawda, ale w gruncie rzeczy można zawsze sprawić, by społeczeństwo zrobiło to, czego się od niego oczekuje. Wystarczy wmówić im, że są zagrożeni, a tych, którzy wzywają do pokoju, oskarżyć o brak patriotyzmu i działanie na szkodę kraju. Ten mechanizm działa zawsze”.

Close to 80 years old. Physically disabled - wheelchair at airport, walker when shopping, walking stick at home. Losing parts of my memory bank, little bit hard of hearing. Mostly at doctors appointments when not at the computer. Been supporting myself from the futures markets since 1975 when Gerald Ford took the office of president of the US when Tricky Dick Nixon resigned and Microsoft was founded. Thinking about retiring in a couple ways Not from futures trading company's for my own personal account. Probably will never quit. It's good I always carry stop orders on every position I hold. Personal on Twitter X is a yes for quitting - the way I think about trading is mostly thought of as arcane by the "moderns" - surprised because it works better than it might have in the early 1900s. Thoughtful engagement on X is all but history Probably phase out, then quit on Teaching -- there just are not that many people interested in learning the geometrically-described hieroglyphics of price discovery of the olden days. I have seen during my time dozens of schemes for trading come, then go

Your glasses cost $5 to make. You paid $300. And one company you've never heard of is the reason why. Luxottica owns Ray-Ban. They own Oakley. They own Persol. They own Oliver Peoples. They own Costa. They own Arnette. They make the glasses for Prada, Chanel, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Giorgio Armani, and Michael Kors. They own LensCrafters. They own Pearle Vision. They own Sunglass Hut. They own Target Optical. They own the online retailer Glasses.com. They own EyeMed the vision insurance provider that tells you where to buy your glasses. And they own the lab that makes your lenses. One company controls the frames. The brands. The stores. The insurance. The lenses. And the price. A guy spent 11 years working in the optical industry 4 in a lab making lenses, 3 managing a retail optical store, 4 consulting for independent eyewear brands trying to compete with Luxottica. He told me: "The frame on your face cost between $2 and $5 to manufacture. The lenses cost $1.50 to $3. You paid $300–$700. That's not a markup. That's a scheme. And it only works because one corporation owns every step between the factory and your face and nobody knows it." "There are 4 billion people on Earth who need vision correction. Most of them are paying a 1,000%–2,000% markup on a medical device they literally cannot live without because the entire industry from factory to face is controlled by one company pretending to be 50 different brands." "The glasses on your face right now are almost certainly made in the same Italian factory as every 'luxury' brand on the wall at Sunglass Hut the store that Luxottica also owns." Here are 10 things the glasses industry doesn't want you to know and exactly how to stop overpaying for a product that costs less than your morning coffee to make: 🧵

Plato told us that ATLANTIS was destroyed by a flood in a single day and night, and became an impassable barrier of mud… The horrific flood disaster in Napal has truly illustrated that a catastrophic force of water has the power to erase everything from a civilization. Meanwhile, virtually every ancient civilization spanning five continents around the world share legends of a great flood that destroyed those before them…because it happened 🌊 Video created by @vantortech
