Oligarch Governor Jared Polis (D-CO) with a net worth of $400m did this.

Hi Effeteposer:

Who is "Beaker Boy" (the "Foul Mouthed POS") and where did he go?

Painful, but necessary post-WWI and -WWII population exchanges helped maintain stability by homogenizing religious or ethnic people geographically. India and Pakistan in the late 1940s comes to mind first.

The Ottoman Empire and Kemalist Turkiye effected population transfers with Athens, saddening Greeks in Anatolia (Izmir) and Turks in Greece, but stopping right-wing nationalists from committing outrages and counter-outrages against innocent people.

The people in northen Syria elected to join Turkiye (Hatay Velayet), while the folks in Mosul voted to join Iraq. These were peaceful border transfers, even though for decades Hafez Assad's stamps and maps showed Hatay as Syrian territory.

1914 Armenian nationalists in the Ottoman Empire -- dashnaks I believe they were called -- made a terrible mistake by siding with Imperial Russia in the hopes that St Petersburg would help them achieve a homeland. But these dashnaks misinterpreted previous signals from Russia and the Western powers about "protecting Christians under Islamic rule," as these were just cynically-rendered excuses to attack and carve up the "Sick Man of Europe."

That blunder cost the Armenian people badly which led to their "Nakba," the 1915 genocide when these people were forcibly moved en masse under terrible conditions. This was not a population exchange, but a one-way transfer that killed 1.5m Armenians.

Had the Armenians stayed loyal to the Ottoman Empire and not cause an uprising during the Great War, as a people and nation they would have been saved and the Armenians would have had more to offer in negotiations such as the Treaty of Sevres (1920). The loss of territory, fortresses, and population weakened them; the Georgians and Azerbaijanis managed much better dealing with the Turks and Russians (White and Bolshevik) in the post WWI upheaval.

When Israel was formed in 1948, they proceeded to do to the Palestinians what the Ottomans did to the Armenians in 1915, a population transfer, not exchange, without compensation for lost lands and property.

Like the Armenians from 1919-1923 in the Transcaucasus who were forced to sit at the "kiddie table," Palestinians are similarly powerless today.

Please shut down and move my comments to Arbusto's OP.

He/she is an infrequent contributor and my OP shouldn't interfere with his/hers.

Thank you.

And AIPAC politicians (Democrats and Republicans) want our vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Yeah, never mind having a conscience and reward supporters of genocide.

"FUNNY"

I don't understand any of this mishegoss down there in Kentucky.

And the US Senate has a slim GOP majority with VPUTZ JD Vance as a deciding vote.

This is malfeasance and all designed to benefit the GOP, not the American people or Kentuckians.

Xenophobe Brent Jindra (48) -- who is happy with white foreigners like his wife -- just not colored ones -- certainly seems to eat and live well.

Or used to.

This "stoopiguy"* won't vote for the most progressive candidate in the next US election anyway, watch.

The Lancet UK reports that since 7 Oct 2023, the peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer-funded Israeli Death Forces (IDF) have callously liquidated over 75,000 human beings in the Gaza Strip, a number slightly higher than what the dilapidated Palestinian health authority has been able to record. At least 20,179 children have been murdered by the Jeffrey Dahmers of the Middle East; 12,500 women have been slaughtered. A minimum of 174,280 people have been wounded or maimed in the Gaza Strip by the US-armed IDF.

And the loathsome Itamar Ben-Gvir wants more Muslims in Gaza liquidated, 30 to 40 per night, which will push the death toll in Gaza to well over 80,000 before the end of 2026.

This war criminal Ben-Gvir also wants captured Palestinians put through kangaroo courts in Israel and then summarily executed, most likely by hanging, like Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann on 1 June 1962.

RUMINT suggests these killed Palestinians would be used for organ donations for Israeli patients, as these dead Muslims didn't eat pork while alive. Hanging would not damage organs like firing squad, electrocution, or lethal injection would.

But this macabre organ-harvesting theory is strictly RUMINT and Coriolanus cannot confirm that.

US midterm elections are tentatively scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026, barring Republican Party or AIPAC interference or sabotage.

Which nasty Israeli troll will stalk and menace poor Coriolanus for exposing another blasphemy from the Pariah nation?

Is that A. Fiend, rf4b, or willowby approaching our truthful, but defenseless correspondent below?

The handsome, well-dressed troopers of the Kentucky State Police are unable to locate US Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) who may have been swallowed up by an intergalactic time wormhole.

"The Republic of Korea, a staunch ally of the US, sent ~335,000 fighting men to South Vietnam from 1965 to 1973; ~5,500 were KIA, ~11,000 were WIA. Though the South Korean Army contributed most of those troops, members of South Korea's Marines, Air Force, and Navy also participated in the war, while Dummkopf Trumpf avoided combat in Vietnam by dodging the draft with a cowardly and spurious claim of suffering from bone spurs.'"

**** USCENTCOM CMDR: Sailors on USS Abraham Lincoln Facing Mental Health Crises ****

"USCENTCOM CMDR USN Adm. Brad Cooper acknowledged mental health challenges aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Cooper visited the Lincoln as the US war against Iran on Israel's behalf dragged well into its fifth month without a clear end in sight.

The admiral's remarks follow reports that a sailor jumped overboard amid the aircraft carrier's long Middle East deployment."

Hello Old Friend

Indeed.

AIPAC agit-prop kicked in full steam in America after the 9/11 attacks in the US and the rise of the Likud Party in Israel after PM Yitzhak Rabin was murdered by a right-wing zealot in 1995.

Note that ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Satanyahu has watched four POTUS leave office while Israel has slowly seized more Palestinian property, killed tens of thousands of Muslims in the Middle East, and is occupying Lebanon south of the Litani River, all while Israelis enjoy worldclass universal healthcare and we're stuck with the BBB and Trumpf Diarrhea Syndrome (TDS).

And a bankrupted economy thanks to Bibi and the war against Iran the US is fighting for him.

"FUNNY"

What a surprise!

Slamming NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and progressuve Democrats is another AIPAC pod-person.

AIPAC-ers in America are like the invasive species of aliens covertly taking over the world in the book (Jack Finney, 1955) and three films Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956, 1978, and 1993).

Americans see Canada to the north with their universal healthcare, low gun and police violence, reined in oligarchs, and they see Mexico to the south which will have universal healthcare for all her people in 2027.

Progressive Democrats are asking: "Why not us in Amerikkka?"

"I work my furry little paws to the bone on my MS XP PC for you people and this is the thanks I get!"

Why aren't you MAGAt dumf*x on this site helping your child-raping hero seize control of Hormuz?

I'm shocked that these three Congressmen are ethically challenged.

Shocked.

Marry, the populations with the most PTSD on the planet are the Palestinians, Ukrainians, Israelis, Russians, and Americans. No internet required to verify that.

During the Second World War, UK PM Winston Chuchill signed everything with "action this day" -- macro or micro issues -- whether it was for changing the uniform epaulets of the Royal Scots Dragoons, extracting more oil from Persia, or increasing the food rations for soldiers by one biscuit.

"Action this day."

But in the US, we are held hostage to nihilistic inertia, unlike Australia and Canada which banned civilian ownership of assault rifles after suffering mass shootinga.

Well-paid research about reducing gun violence in the US without poltical action = many well-rewarded and cardiovascularly healthy mice.

Thanks, Horstngraben, I'm going to read up about El Nino and La Nina events and history.

Similarly, some astronomical events were tied up to terrestrial incidents.

The "Supermoon" and the Northern Lights may have caused an optical illusion that disguised the distance of the iceberg from RMS Titanic until it was too late to act. "Hard to Port!"

An eclipse or an planetary alignment may have played a part in the siege of Troy, as the planets were seen by the locals as Gods: Venus, Mars, Jupiter.
