Nowadays, it is common, when introducing an event, to say something along the lines of: “We are grateful to the XYZ Indian Tribe for allowing us to hold this gathering on what is really their land.” Universities, bastions of the left, have been particularly intent upon engaging in this practice.
I watched the funniest episode of the X-Files a few nights back. “ Drive”. The paranoid character central to the story was convinced that Mulder was part of the “ Great Zionist Conspiracy” controlling the world. The back and forth was gut-busting. Too many today would believe it was a documentary and they’re on the left.
Jose, you make important points. speaking of the "wild west" this might be of interest:

what a great article, I always deeply recoiled against the 'original peoples who touched it own it' drift of their socialist logic. I also think that great wars of the Red Indians, eg Apache v. Commanche, should be considered - the Commanche was violently pushed north by the Apache and then came back to attempt genocide against the Apache - during the Wild West phase of America. They were longstanding enemies. Conquest is not homesteading.
Fink, Bloomberg and foreign interests… The rest are beneficiaries. Top down fascism. BlackRock/Vanguard/StateStreet are the major “ stakeholders” of every mega-corporate entity AND they own each other. What a beautiful world.
ownership and control are not that far apart
thanks for your comment

Oops, Walter. My bad. It’s those darned Zionists! Just ask the Squad.

Dear Jose: Thanks. Best regards, Walter
