On Kalaallit Nunaat aka Greenland

America can't even afford to take proper care of Puerto Rico leave alone repair the decaying infrastructure in every nook and corner  all over the land ... but their loudmouth president has the cheek to think about buying Greenland.

The Struggle against Colonialism and Imperialism in Kalaallit Nunaat: Part 4 
Colonialism Lives on in the Mind of Donald Trump

 Outside of melting glaciers and global warming discussions, Kalaallit Nunaat does not often find itself in the spotlight, and when it does, it is usually referred to as Greenland. United States president Donald Trump’s real-estate aspirations have given Kalaallit Nunaat/Greenland prominence in recent news. It seems Trump is serious about the US purchasing Greenland. Judging by history, if Trump could swing such a purchase, he would certainly garner severe gravitas as a big-time deal-maker. And there is a precedent to such a real estate transaction between the US and Denmark. In 1917, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the US for $25 million. The islands were subsequently renamed the US Virgin Islands.

  Said Trump about the proposed acquisition of Kalaallit Nunaat/Greenland:
It’s just something we’ve talked about. Denmark essentially owns it. We’re very good allies with Denmark. We’ve protected Denmark like we protect large portions of the world, so the concept came up. Strategically it’s interesting and we’d be interested, but we’ll talk to them a little bit. It’s not No. 1 on the burner, I can tell you that, Essentially, it’s a large real estate deal.
A lot of things can be done. It’s hurting Denmark very badly, because they’re losing almost $700 million a year carrying it. So they carry it at a great loss.
Trump, commander-in-chief of the nation responsible for “protect[ing] large portions of the world” was ostensibly unaware that the per capita GDP (2018) in economically “badly” “hurting” Denmark is $62888.7 while the US has a per capita GDP (2018) of $54541.7. Neither did Trump mention that the projected US deficit for 2019 is $896 billion.
Moreover, in conducting such a mega-real estate transaction in the media, Trump does not come across as consummate or skilled in the art of a deal......

Thoughts on Greenland

 Greenland was given its name by Erik the Red, the Norwegian who, after settling in the Viking colony of Iceland in the 960s, sailed west and in 982 discovered the huge island.
(There were people there already — Inuits, a people of Siberian origin scattered across northern North America. But it took a while before the Scandinavians and the indigenous met. This was not an early instance of European imperialism and the colonization of indigenous subjects so much as a quest for arable land and expression of medieval Nordic wanderlust.)
(The real Scandinavian colonization of the island only began in 1721; the Norwegian settler community had died out by 1500 and there had been little contact between the island and Norway, which from 1536-1814 was united with the more powerful Denmark. Norway had retained claims of sovereignty over Greenland from Viking times. Now through aggressive missionary work in tandem with the encouragement of extractive industries, cod fishing in particular, Greenland became a Danish colony. This occurred at the height of early modern Danish imperialism, after the Danes had acquired the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean beginning in 1671, as centers of slave-based sugar production; a string of fortified slave-trading settlements along the “Danish Gold Coast” of West Africa from 1661; and colonies in India–Serampore in Bengal from 1675, Tranquebar on the Cormandel Coast from 1620. The modern colonization should be seen in this perspective.)*
Greenland was an ice-covered wilderness, not green at all. Calling it Greenland was an expression of dry Nordic humor, and an advertising ploy. Erik wanted settlers for this newly discovered land, and they did come, from Norway and elsewhere.....

Greenland: Trump criticises 'nasty' Denmark over cancelled visit
US President Donald Trump has called the Danish leader "nasty" after she rebuffed his idea of buying Greenland.
He lashed out hours after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said she was "sorry" that Mr Trump had abruptly called off a state visit to Denmark.
She has dismissed the suggestion of such a land deal as "absurd".
Queen Margrethe II invited Mr Trump to visit Denmark on 2 September, and the manner of his cancellation has stunned the Scandinavian nation.

What did the US president say?

Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn on Wednesday afternoon, Mr Trump took umbrage at Ms Frederiksen's remarks.
"I thought that the prime minister's statement that it was absurd, that it was an absurd idea was nasty," he said.
"I thought it was an inappropriate statement. All she had to do is say no, we wouldn't be interested.".......

More write-ups and videos on the Jeffrey Epstein murder committed at the bequest of the 1%ters ruling over us

Pedophilia is primarily the demonic pastime of the filthy rich...make no mistake about it.  The 1%ters love control over other human beings and the more vulnerable the human beings the greater their satanic desire to destroy such innocence.  Has anyone wondered why or how so many young people, who once were Walt Disney child actors, either end up dead before they reach age 30 ... cause of death is either drug overdose or something like it?  I for one have often wondered about those kids and about the kind of $-loving parents they were unfortunate enough to be born to.

Whitney Webb of MintNewsPress has done a super job of investigating the Epstein saga and her articles are a "must read" to understand this kind of depravity has been going on in the intelligence agencies of the USA and Israel.  I bet many folks have wondered how so many in the US congress (and also sadly many of the lawmakers in Canada) bend backwards catering to Israel.  We need to wonder no more. 

Without further ado, below some great info which should keep this deplorable situation under the harshest limelight and centre stage.
Start here at Webb's articles on the sordid stuff that happens in the much lauded and desired "democracies" of our world.

Epstein Autopsy Finds Evidence He May Have Been Murdered
As the public carries on with the great debate about what really happened (or didn't happen) to Jeffrey Epstein early Saturday morning in the hours before he was found dead in his cell at MCC in an apparent suicide, the Washington Post has unleashed a bombshell.
First, remember how some witnesses claimed they had heard horrifying shrieking coming from Epstein's cell in the hours before his death? Well, here's one explanation for that: An autopsy report found that Epstein had endured multiple breaks in his neck bones, deepening the mystery surrounding his death last week.....

Some write-ups and videos on the Jeffrey Epstein child pedophilia scandal to help you understand the depth of depravity...

of the 1%ters in the USA and across the world. Pedophilia and other sexual depravity crimes are usually found in the backyards of the filthy rich and their hangers-on who thrive on the tit bits (wads of money or a go at some kid) thrown at them to keep their mouths tightly shut.  IMO, crime against kids is an unspeakable evil but have you noticed how the justice system has judges/lawyers/what have you (all probably pedos or sexual deviants themselves) who work overtime to keep perpetrators of such crimes from maximum sentences???

Jeffrey Epstein's Rolodex: A Guide to his Famous Friends and Acquaintances

After Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges over the weekend, the Miami Herald reporter behind the paper’s dogged investigations into the wealthy money manager said he isn’t the only prominent person this scandal is likely to ensnare.
“There are probably quite a few important people, powerful people, who are sweating it out right now,” Julie K. Brown said on MSNBC. “We’ll have to wait and see whether Epstein is going to name names.”
Over the years, Epstein has counted some of the country’s most powerful political and business leaders among his friends. They’ve visited his private island, flown on his private jet, and had him as a guest in their homes. Most of the well-known figures linked to Epstein have not been accused of any wrongdoing, but a few have been accused of participating in his sex-trafficking ring. Here are some of Epstein’s most prominent connections:....

Flight Logs Put Clinton, Dershowitz on Pedophile's Billionaire's Sex Jet
Bill Clinton took repeated trips on the " Lolita Express"—the private passenger jet owned by billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein—with an actress in softcore porn movies whose name appears in Epstein's address book under an entry for "massages," according to flight logbooks obtained by Gawker and published today for the first time. The logs also show that Clinton shared more than a dozen flights with a woman who federal prosecutors believe procured underage girls to sexually service Epstein and his friends and acted as a "potential co-conspirator" in his crimes.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 in Florida to one count of soliciting underage girls for sex (and one count of adult solicitation), for which he served just over a year in county jail. But sprawling local, state, and federal investigations into the eccentric investor's habit of paying teen girls for "massages"—sessions during which he would allegedly penetrate girls with sex toys, demand to be masturbated, and have intercourse—turned up a massive network of victims, including 35 female minors whom federal prosecutors believed he'd sexually abused. He has reportedly settled lawsuits from more than 30 "Jane Doe" victims since 2008; the youngest alleged victim was 12 years old at the time of her abuse.

Jeffrey Epstein Liked Palling around with Scientists - What do they think now"

 People in the United States still generally trust scientists, but as we’re seeing from case after case of sexual harassment and assualt in science, predators can and do hide behind prestige, funding, and the respectability of their lab coats. A study last year found that half of all women faculty and staff in the sciences have experienced sexual harassment — a barrage that stands out as one reason (among many) that women are underrepresented at the highest levels of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.

Jane Doe
Michelle Licata climbed a narrow, winding staircase, past walls covered with photographs of naked girls. At the top of the stairwell was a vast master bed and bath, with cream-colored shag carpeting and a hot pink and mint green sofa.
The room was dimly lit and very cold.
There was a vanity, a massage table and a timer.
A silver-haired man wearing nothing but a white towel came into the room. He lay facedown on a massage table, and while talking on a phone, directed Licata to rub his back, legs and feet........
