Aug 57 to Aug 58, a young 18 year old spent a year at Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island, Canadian NWT, now known as Iqualuit.

There was an Eskimo village (for that is what we called them then, even the Mounties)

Of the Mountains there were two of them a Corporal van Norman and his short side kick.

Van Norman stood well over 6ft, he was taller than my commander, Col Payne who was 6ft,

when the corporal walked into the Colonels office, he jumped up and snapped to like the Mountie was a general.

Van Norman was police, judge and jury and everyone knew it from the Newfies (New Foundlanders) that were the labor force for the Canadian Department of Transportation, to the Eskimo's and G.I,.s

At 18 I could out drink the biggest and fattest Newfie, and won many a bet. The enlisted beer hall was open to all, except the Eskimo's.

The area was overrun with huskies, and each winter as it started to snow, and the weather dropped to below freezing, the Mounties would walk around killing huskies and letting them lie.

I wondered why, until one day upon leaving the mess hall, I noticed the body of a husking moving, inside were pups keeping warm and having a meal.

Many dogs were rounded up and taken over to Dog Island, and dumped, there they would cannibalize each other until the last died of starvation.

One day a couple of Canadian D.O.T. officials showed up and wanted to see Dog Island, so they were taken over, on the way over a swell came up from nowhere swamped the boat and they drowned. a recovery diver was sent over from the mainland.

They found the two, anchored to the bottom by their waders, stripped of flesh, as sea lice had done their job

We lived in WWII Quonset huts,and the theater was also in Quonset hut, all Canadian and American employees (G.I.s) used it, there was a oil fired Franklin stove,and because the G.I.swere still working when the box office opened, the Eskimos got there first, and huddled around the stove.

Well the smell was overbearing, and I only watched one movie that whole year, The Fire Down Below with Gina Lolabrigida

The orderly room had a janitor, his name was Kayushak, he spoke halting English, and he would visit me for hours and share coffee (my job among many was to keep the coffee thermos filled, which I would do by caring it to and fro from the messhall, about 100 yards up hill from the orderly room, in which I was the personnel clerk, a power job for an 18 year old kid.

Kayushak was kool, taught me some Innuit, and offered me his wife in gratitude for the cigarettes and coffee, and company I gave him. I declined of course.

Kayushak did make me a miniature harpoon and his wife some seal skin slippers.

But I had to have the slippers dry cleaned, again and again, because they cure the skin with urine.

Pay call was conducted by a Warrant Officer, just outside the mail room, opposite the Mountie Shack.

During one pay call, as the troops were lined up, I noticed two men peering out at the windows at the line.

Soon the Mounties arrested two G.I.s. seems the women were pregnant out of season.

I left my tour with over $1,000 from gambling winnings (Newfie black jack), enough to buy my first car a 53 Merc cash out for $500, and take a girlf on a trip to NYC and up the Empire state building.

There is abase on Greenland, Thule AFB, and also were some DEW Line or Distant Early Warning Sites located north of Thule,but they now have new radar systems, so I doubt that they have maintained the DEW lines, in fact I doubt that they even have any radar capability, since the cold war was supposedly over. They sure haven't kept up maintenance on our nuclear warheads and missile capability.

I had already done NY while at Sheepshead Bay, awaiting transport to Newfoundland.

The Eskimos evidently only have vaginal sex, so the offspring are born in summer.

Nobody is "just taking" Denmark. But the fools that demand we keep sending billions to Ukraine to fight against the expansion of Russia are the same that deride Trump for expressing a long-discussed idea to help secure global peace and security for the West. It will be a hoot when China and Russia invade Greenland. Then all you idiot loser leftists with TDS will, I am sure, pivot to blame Trump instead of taking responsibility for your own clown show failures.

Tell you what, darling. If China or Russia invades Greenland before Trump is impeached (successfully this time (the third time’s the charm), I’ll eat my mousepad. And I do lament your invocation of the imbecilic TDS trope. His loathsomeness — his heartlessness and naked greed and pathetic need always to be the center of attention — are exceeded only by his breathtaking stupidity. Or maybe you’ve never seen him interviewed on television. If one of us has a syndrome, darling, I’m pretty sure it’s you.

You must have daddy issues that you never resolved and your new daddy Trump triggers them. You are out of your gourd and lack objectivity. Your political tribe is a greedy, heartless, virtue-signaling mob of American destruction that will be swept out of perpetual power because like you, the party brain goes to bed and wakes up with Trump hate echoing in their meager brain cells and the people note it and the lack of substance in anything the Democrats offer as their platform. Ya’ll offered Joe Biden and Kamala Harris after trying the dumpster fire Hilary Clinton. These are all people I would not hire to run the corporate supply room.

My challenge stands, you extremely obnoxious and superhumanly stupid person. If China or Russia invades Greenland before Trump is removed from office for gross incompetence, I'll eat my mouse pad.

So you recommend surrendering Ukraine to a blood thirsty war criminal and tyrants, who murders not only his own people, but is actually guilty of genocide within the meaning of Art II, UN Prevent of Genocide, which is intent. He has stated that he intends to obliterate Ukrainian culture and language and that is genocide by definition.

Ithink TDS more accurately describes MAGAts. Mentally deranged by infection with the Trump virus.

Meanwhile as Trump and Musk (Trusk) drag the US and world into a depression, and he has already made America a pariah nation, wallow in the satisfaction that you sure did own the libs.

William, I have exchanged a few messages with this guy, and am able to assure you that the chances of your changing his mind are slightly less good than of your persuading a brick wall to become a bouquet of daffodils.

I know that the fool belongs to a cult, and there is no deprogramming a cult.

Take a look at the Manson family mind you.

I've been dealing with these idiots on other substacks, best I can do and have done is encourage them to leave as they aren't making any points as their lord and savior the orange emperor would say, they don't have any cards, just a line of regurgitated bullshit.

Well, I agree 100 percent, but the horrifying thing is that they sincerely believe what the Vile Excrescence — mashed potatoes be upon his head — tells them to believe. They believe it no more fervently than you and I might believe that fascism is a horrible idea.

There is a certain percentage of the population that never grew up, and are inclined towards a father figure protecting them and making the world safe for them.. they are the ones inclined towards fascism and authoritarianism, it also (sadly) includes females.

That's a biologically evolved trait though. Women are child bearers and are very vulnerable when pregnant and rearing children, thus inclined towards a protective father feature.

But mainly MAGAts are inferior and insecure males, they can't get an erection and thus copulate unless they are dominant and feel superior.

Look at nature, the sex act is an act of force, aggression, even the movies and TV portray it a such. Nature compensates for the undesireability of sex by females, by putting them in estrus. Human females don't have estrus, they have a G spot and orgasms, thus making them eager for sake at all times,not just in breeding season. Breeding season coincides with the gestation and the time offspring of all species are born in Spring when there is food.

I am surprised that no one has taken notice that the increase in INCELS, and sale of Viagra also coincides with the rise of civil rights, DEI, and women's rights.

The real reason there is an antiabortion drive is that abortion is a rejection of the male, and that wounds the fragile ego of MAGAts.

Women go along with it, because of the maternal instinct and manipulation with images of poor destroyed babies, and also because these are the same women that make compliant handmaids.
