Skookum1 Speaks - comments on BC/world history and politics and other matters

I'm going to post this on my main timeline then will inbox it to all my francophone friends directly also, and certain journalists who should be apprised of what is actually going on but I know aren't..... This is another outraged former policeman - 14 years with the CRS - who's outraged at the conduct of Macron's CRS... he's calling for prison time for those CRS who fired straight at people's heads... 12 in all are dead, thousands more injured - more than during the Algerian War in fact, as a former DGSE (Director-General of  State Security) said in an interview I saw.   He names I think, the twelfth to die of a flashball - 16g ot TNT fired from similar to the rubber bullet guns - big flat rubber bullets invented by Macron - was Jerome Rodriguez.... another martyr to the latest struggle for true civilian non-state democracy in France..  The CRS are also firing them at journalists, he says, and you often see footage of a CRS robocop aiming at a camera .....

Nice explanation and demo of why Metis fiddle is its own style and some great playing by this young guy from Comox BC. Very much part of the North-West, i.e. Riel's Nord-Ouest beyond the Lakes that Canada conquered.  But Metis music was not conquered and thrives across Metis communities... where this kid is from or where he learned to play that may be from family.... he's probbly Metis. This is hot stuff.  This is also the rockin' fiddle jive that would have been played in the voyaguer camps across the long route by York Boat onde a year to/from Fort  Vancouver, the famous Express (or was famous) carrying the fur company's books and outbound furs for York Factory on Hudson Bay and on to London... or down the the Rainy River from Lake of the Woods to Lake Superior and Fort William, where Port Arthur became established once Northwestern Ontario became a colony of Upper Canada after the taking of force by the OPP Rat Portage, and renaming it Kenora... Riel's vision of

This is being shared into the USA where it will be listened to and understood ... only some Canadians but many BCers are willing to even listen to it... who cares? I'm currently so far Canadian but have strong and righteous feelings about statehood for my province (BC) and a plan as to how..... and good reasons why for both us in Free Columbia (de-Britished Columbia) and the USA for it to happen. I have many friends and also cousins now retired who were Green Berets... my grandfather was in the US Army 1897-1902 in the Philippines.... and like other BCers t houghy my Mom wqas born in Canada her family had moved to California and she re-immigrated to Canada from there... our histories are intertwined and inextricable... and the current political situation in Canada is untenable and un-just and anti-democratic. Suffice to say that I've been singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic yesterday (one of my late father's favourite songs... he had dual citizenship as did my mom, give

No not at all (comment re article on corrupt border officials and border services abuses of power) The Berlin Wall of the Northwest divides the West Coast artificially and often nastily. This should just not be, and I must point out and very strongly and pointedly that it was drawn by London and Washington very long ago and remains to divide us to benefit Central Canada.... Including the limitations on Vancouver's economy and our freedom of movement in many ways including the prevention of the development of aerospace and other high tech so The Dominion's central dominant provinces are where much goes down that COULD be going on here.... Why do Ottawa and Toronto and Montreal control Vancouver and the rest of the Pacific Slope and the Conquered West (AB, SK, MB and the Lakehead i.e. The Nord-Ouest of Louis Riel)?  To prevent the emergence of more powerful rivals to its own control of the northern half of the Continent and lay its greedy hands on the North and the transmontane

In reply to Kalen Harris ‘Cliques in the legislature are no better than in highschool... Except it's all our lunch money they're playing with.’https://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/2019/02/06/Journalists-Legislature-Scandal/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=020619-2&utm_campaign=editorial-0219 —----- This is the actual real solution to ending this crap.... Including the media telling us what to think....(Yellow vest with manifesto) Why does the British Columbia Parliament even have a right to fly its flag over 85 % of the "province" anyway, likewise Canada?? They don't. 85% of "BC" is sovereign.... I'm for an end to the "Crown" altogether and a re-constitution of a Free Columbia in a cantonal system like Switzerland which is what the REAL Yellow Vests of France are building. All else in your news is also distractiin including the sergeant at arms scandal.... Representative politics and corruption define each othe

This is very good coverage about the Hiawatha Impact Crater but misses out on the implications of an important now-known geo-historical fact.  Their map showing the melted ice flowing out into the oceans was not the configuration of the ice in the last couple of tens of thousands of years... it could not have flown out as shown any time before 6000 BC  - the Laurentian Ice Sheet and Greenland and Ellesmere Icecaps were not just all linked across Ellesmere-Greenland but also between Ungava (Quebec and Labrador) across the Davis Strait to Greenland via an ice dam that let go c.6000 BC which is when the seas worldwide came up by 200m and Doggerland and Dawarka disappeared, and Britain became an Island, and the Black Sea filled when the Mediterranean broke through at the Bosporus. Behind that ice dam was Lake Agassiz, the meltwater from the Laurentian Icecap..... which given worldwide surface area of the oceans the elevation of the waters of Lake Agassiz must have been thousands of metre
