Paleolithic Dispute Settlement Mechanisms
We’re all used to hearing how indigenous tribes got along so well with each other until the Europeans showed up, right? Apparently, the inhabitants of a village near present-day Crow Creek, South Dakota in 1325 didn’t get that memo.
The attack was brutal, thorough and devastating. No one would live on the site again. Eventually some of the villagers return to bury the nearly 500 victims in a mass grave – the worst atrocity in the history of what will one day be the state of South Dakota.
“And when we excavated down on that we found this pile of bones.”
It was a pile of bones about three feet thick in an area of about 20 feet by 20 feet.
Of all the skulls found, 90 percent had cuts on the forehead, the telltale sign of scalping. A quarter of the skeletons showed knife wounds on the first vertebrae of the neck, which is consistent with a slit throat or decapitation. Of the complete skulls, 40 percent showed depression fractures left from blunt force trauma.
There Goes The Narrative

A Modern Shopping Experience
For readers unfamiliar with the locale, Portage Place is a large shopping mall in downtown Winnipeg that has largely been taken over by vagrants, drug addicts and any number of citizens with a violent disposition. Is there any wonder that ticket sales for the Winnipeg Jets are way down?
I accompanied a friend to a medical appointment in Portage Place. While they’re being seen I walked to the food court.
It didn’t take 3 minutes to see a chair get aimed at a security guard after the drunk bitch spit at her.

Flaming Sparky Cars For The Masses!
If Steve Guilbeault gets his way, every fire department in Canada is going to need a fleet of tanker trucks to attend car accidents.
Firefighters arrived to find a Tesla Model Y on fire, and troopers shut down that portion of Interstate 65.
Two hose lines were deployed, and it took more than an hour to get the fire under control. A total of three engines, two rescues, one ambulance, four water tankers, one squad, one brush truck and three command vehicles responded to the fire.

History Repeats…or Rhymes
For those of you following the recent Colorado Supreme Court decision, here’s a seldom discussed bit of historical background. Other than the Civil War, the 14th amendment of the U.S. constitution was invoked on another occasion, this time to sanction a socialist Congressman who was a vocal critic of World War One. It’s another example of a relevant historical event that gets studiously ignored due to the need for narrative damage control.
When the United States entered the war and passed the Espionage Act of 1917, Berger’s continued opposition made him a target. He and four other Socialists were indicted under the Espionage Act in February 1918. The trial followed on December 9 of that year, and on February 20, 1919, Berger was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
Berger’s conviction was appealed and was ultimately overturned by the US Supreme Court on January 31, 1921…
…the voters of Milwaukee once again elected him to the House of Representatives in 1918. When he arrived in Washington to claim his seat, Congress….declared the seat vacant, disqualifying him pursuant to Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Channeling Lyndon Johnson
Even the leftist corporate media is starting to realize just how hopeless the Ukrainian position is becoming.
Disquiet in the halls of power appears to have filtered down to the military’s rank and file, who increasingly have misgivings about inefficiency and faulty decision-making within the bureaucracy they depend on to keep them well-armed for the fight.
It took seven months to obtain the paperwork needed from multiple government agencies to train 75 men, said Konstantin Denisov, a Ukrainian soldier.
“We wasted time for nothing,” he said. Commanders elsewhere complain of not enough troops, or delays in getting drones repaired, disrupting combat missions.
In the early days of the war, Western cheerleaders were quick to assume that Russia could never make up the losses it incurred. It seems they were wrong.
Indeed, while Ukrainian soldiers have proven to be resourceful and innovative on the battlefield, Moscow has dramatically scaled up its defense industry in the past year, manufacturing armored vehicles and artillery rounds at a pace Ukraine cannot match.
Too little, too late
When even the leftist media starts to pick up on the utter lack of justification for many pandemic restrictions, you start to think that maybe there’s hope for humanity.
As part of the next volume on the COVID response, Martin found the Department of Justice and Public Safety’s hotel isolation program, cost taxpayers more than $5.4 million and only nine travellers tested positive for COVID-19.
The program, implemented in May 2021 to reduce non-essential travel and operated by the Red Cross until the end of June 2021, required leisure travellers to self-isolate at an isolation hotel at their own expense for at least seven days upon return to New Brunswick.
The department doesn’t know whether the program decreased travel or mitigated COVID-19 risks, he said, because it didn’t have clearly established goals and didn’t review the outcomes.

Narrative Massacre
Looking for a Christmas gift that eviscerates a common historical narrative for yourself or a like-minded family member? If you’re undecided, here’s a review that goes over the main points of Flynn-Paul’s work.
Alleged massacres resulted in the deaths of less than 1% of the Indian population and numbers in the thousands, not millions–a record long obscured thanks to Stannard’s embellishment of native population estimates. Colonialism is not an outgrowth of capitalism because the church and nobility were fervently opposed to such economic systems. The “logic of tribal anarchy” meant no land was in possession of one tribe for more than a few generations and natives were invariably locked in intratribal disputes. No evidence exists that settlers engaged in biological warfare by giving natives smallpox-laced blankets. In fact, Thomas Jefferson established an immunization program for Indians, going so far as to task Lewis and Clark with disseminating the smallpox vaccine on their famed expedition.
Narrative Down
Atlanta police on Friday were trying to determine what motivated an Alabama woman accused of a failed attempt to set fire to the home where the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was born.
Bystanders, including two off-duty police officers from New York, stopped the woman as she splashed gasoline on the historic home in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward shortly before 6 p.m. on Thursday and helped detain her until police arrived, local media reported.
The bystanders were “tourists from Utah”. UPDATE: video here.

Waiting Lists for Death
As long as Canada stubbornly adheres to the failed single-payer model for health care, MAID will increasingly become the “go-to” strategy for dealing with waiting lists.
How can you prioritize cases so that people with aggressive stage four cancer get seen by someone and when they do get seen, they get offered treatment and not MAID like I was the first time?”
Thankfully, Allison Ducluzeau was able to get to the United States for effective and timely treatment. Not that the BC government would draw any lessons from that experience, however. Nothing must be allowed to disrupt central planning, apparently.
Ducluzeau is trying to apply to have her medical bills funded by BC Cancer, considering she had to travel out of the province for care. However, the letter states “the services you chose to receive in the U.S. would not have been the recommended treatment for your cancer diagnosis.”
There’s Lies, Damn Lies and the Media
Spending Freeze? What a concept!
As a Canadian, I have to wonder what it’s like to live in a country where the courts actually enforce the constitution instead of making endless exceptions for obvious violations of it.
The previous German government declared an emergency in 2020 and created a coronavirus relief fund that was outside the envelope imposed by the debt brake.
It decided to put 60-billion euros (about C$90 billion) of the COVID fiscal room into encouraging electrified home heating and transport. But opposition politicians naturally saw this as an unconstitutional swindle and an abuse of emergency powers. The constitutional status of the debt brake allowed them to sue in federal court — and last week they won. Pretty resoundingly, as it happens.
This punched a huge hole in German finances, and on Tuesday a humiliated Lindner announced an immediate freeze on federal spending.
Let That Sink In
Tracy Beanz lays out the case, so I don’t have to.
Elon Musk’s X Corp is suing Media Matters. Here is an analysis of this concise complaint. I will be reporting on this case as it progresses. This will be the main thread, so please bookmark if interested. You can also find it on my Highlights page.
As @elonmusk discussed in the post he made this weekend, X alleges that Media Matters “knowingly and maliciously” manufactured images to show advertising where it didn’t exist, specifically for the purpose of harming and destroying X.
More background on the Media Matters hoax.
Another good explainer here from Victoria Taft.
Poverty Sucks
Quelle surprise that more and more Canadians are coming to the conclusion that changing the weather 200 years into the future is not worth a life of penury. Most of us at SDA came to that conclusion the moment carbon taxes were introduced, but it’s too bad it has taken this long for enough Canadians to realize that this was never a win/win proposition to begin with.
Now, when Canadians are asked to rank their top concerns, the top spot is a duel between “economy” and “cost of living” — with climate change lucky if it can crack the top five.
Carbon pricing was broadly popular when Trudeau took office; one survey had 56 per cent of Canadians supporting a price on emissions. As support has dwindled, it’s dropped in almost perfect tandem with the rate of Canadians actually paying the carbon tax.
This was most dramatic in Atlantic Canada, where good feelings on carbon pricing screeched to a halt on July 1 when it became the country’s last region added to the federal carbon pricing scheme.
