Wonderfully compiled and easy to read. Thank you!

It's lucky for the billionaires that the standard for who decides those that live and those that are killed is based on wealth, because this is one set of ugly motherfuckers. If it was based on looks, they would be the first to go - all of them.

Glad you included warren buffoon. He is the most fake of them all with his claims he's giving away his wealth. He's 92 and worth about $100B. Yeah, what's he waiting for?

Although, oprah's Lahaina compassion act is equally as fake.

In the 19th century, the US government instituted the practice of a slow gradual program of malnutrition on the Indian reservations to curb populations.

That was one of the primary reasons for gathering the Indians onto controlled lands and denying them the right to hunt on those lands where it was virtually impossible to farm due to poor soil and weather conditions. To control the food the Indians ate. Food supplied exclusively by the US government.

Also why the bison were nearly exterminated. To eliminate the Plains Indians' primary source of protein and other products from the animals they used for survival. I think that's why many wealthy people are fascinated with and want to control bison herds - like billionaire Ted Turner. The bison are a symbol of a successful genocide.

There were compassionate people in Washington, D.C. that, upon learning what the government was doing to the Indians, tried very hard to eliminate this practice of slow controlled starvation. To no avail. Over time the Indians were diminished in health and population and to today have never fully recovered.

The US government learned much from what they did to the Indians and now they are taking what they learned and using it on us.

The only difference between then and now is - We are the Indians.
