ps I am off to take a wak and check out the Salvation Army Gift / Thrift Store lol
TOWARD WHITELAND
Trump wants America to aquire Greenland to create WhiteLand. A Homeland for White Caucasian Americans with maybe a few uber-wealthy Jews and filthy rich ethnically diverse celeebrities like Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan for example.
WhitesLand - Defining "White"
White is a racialized classification of people and a skin color specifier, generally used for people of European origin, although the definition can vary depending on context, nationality, and point of view. Description of populations as "White" in reference to their skin color predates this notion and is occasionally found in Greco-Roman ethnography and other ancient or medieval sources, but these societies did not have any notion of a White or pan-European race. The term "White race" or "White people", defined by their light skin among other physical characteristics, entered the major European languages in the later seventeenth century, when the concept of a "unified White" achieve universal acceptance in Europe, in the context of racialized slavery and unequal social status in the European colonies.
Scholarship on race distinguishes the modern concept from pre-modern descriptions, which focused on physical complexion rather than race. Prior to the modern era, no European peoples regarded themselves as "White", but rather defined their race, ancestry, or ethnicity in terms of their nationality.Contemporary anthropologists and other scientists, while recognizing the reality of biological variation between different human populations, regard the concept of a unified, distinguishable "White race" as socially constructed, rather than scientific.

Rich American Wites (they also include rich secular Jews - not ugly weird Hashidic Orthox Jews) have run out of space - and they need more Land(s).
PERIOD!!!
Case closed.

PS - Always remember - TRUMP is a cold-hearted New York RealEstate Guy who embraces rich Jews and even has a Jewish Son in Law (who he will promote as America's 1st Jewish President) and even has Jewish GrandKids. He sees people like Kushner and his entire Jewish Administration as "White". Russians like Vlad Putin are just "buddies" who can do what they want as long as they are in power.
Why Trump Wants Greenland
Trump wants America to aquire Greenland to create WhiteLand. A Homeland for White Caucasian Americans with maybe a few uber-wealthy Jews and filthy rich ethnically diverse celeebrities like Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan for example.

Hilarious. Such unintelligent garbage banter. America has gone to the dogs.
Sitty.
Sad.
Predictable.
TRUMPISRAUM (Post 2)
Trump's Leadership is a form of contemprary Lebensraum. I call it TRUMPISRAUM.
TRUMP is an ethnic German (Father was German) and Scot (MOther Scottish) who is pursuing American expansionism. This is like the NAZI's in World War 1 and 2 with their National need for more "living space" LEBENSRAUM. American Lebensraum is politically and economically motivated. Essentially TRUMPISRAUM is;
1. A way for TRUMP to stay in office and avoid impeachment (achieve legal imminuty from impeachment); and
2. Enrich his Family by expanding the Trump Family Real Estate Empire.
This actually serves America's National interests as the USA is TOO BIG FOR ITS BRITICHES AND NEEDS MORE SPACE and/or STATES.
Political Concept Lebensraum
Lebensraum, or “living space,” was a central concept in Nazi ideology, combining geopolitics, racial theory, and imperialist ambition. Rooted in earlier European ideas of political geography, it was popularized by figures like Rudolf Kjellen and Karl Haushofer, and ultimately implemented by Hitler to justify territorial expansion into Eastern Europe. Beyond sentiment and pseudoscience, Lebensraum represented a strategy to secure economic prosperity and military dominance for Germany.Science
“Our task is to organize the world so that each country produces what it can best produce while the Nordic race undertakes its control.” — Adolf Hitler, 1930s
Lebensraum
The national socialist theory of territory or space, like the theory of race, was put together from ideas that had been current in Europe for a century. Fundamentally, it was merely an enlargement of plans for a powerful German state in Central and Eastern Europe, which should expand as far as its military powers permitted. Like the racial theory, it was not exclusively German.
Economics
In fact it was a Swedish political scientist, Rudolf Kjellen of the University of Uppsala, who expanded the plan into a philosophy and gave it the name under which national socialism popularized it, Geopolitik. In origin Kjellen’s geopolitics was a development of an old subject, political geography, especially as that subject was understood by Friedrich Ratzel. Its fundamentally sound scientific idea was that a realistic study of the history and growth of states must include such factors as physical environment, anthropology, sociology, and economics, as well as their constitutional organization and legal structure.
Politics
In its development it almost lost touch with its geographic starting point. Behind Kjellen’s theorizing there was also a fear of the western extension of Russian power. The national socialist expansion of geopolitics was associated especially with the name of Karl Haushofer, though many other German writers and scholars had a part-in it. Haushofer added little to the scientific definition of the subject, though he and his associates accumulated vast masses of information from all parts of the world about geography or social, economic, and political matters. What tied this miscellaneous material together was not its scientific organization but its possible use by a military general staff to lay out lines of strategy or by a government that was bent on extending its power.
Haushofe also made geopolitics into an effective organ of propaganda designed to make Germany space-conscious. These two characteristics were in general what distinguished geopolitics from geography. According to the definition of the subject formulated by the editors of Haushofer’s Zeitschrift fur Geopolitik, it was the art of guiding practical politics and the geographic conscience of the state, practical politics being in substance imperialist expansion. Like the racial theory, geopolitics combined erudition with a pseudo-scientific justification of imperialist politics.Science
The distinctive idea in the national socialist theory of imperialism was supplied by an English geographer, Sir Halford J. Mackinder. Earlier imperialist theory, like that for example of Admiral A. T. Mahan, had stressed in the main the importance of naval power and had depended largely on-the history of the British Empire.
Mackinder in 1904 put forward the idea that much European history could be explained by the pressure of landlocked peoples in Eastern Europe and Central Asia on the coastal peoples. This vast area he called the pivotal area or the heartland, the core of the world-island (Europe, Asia, and Africa) which makes up two thirds of the world’s land area.
Australia and the Americas are merely outlying islands. Consequently, if any state could command the resources of this territory and thus combine sea power with land power it could dominate the world. Mackinder summed up his argument in a kind of aphorism. Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland. Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island. Who rules the World-Island commands the World.History
His immediate purpose was to urge the advantages to England of an alliance with Russia, but the meaning of his aphorism was equally clear to Germans. It outlined a project that resolved the uncertainties of German imperialist thought since the Tirpitz naval expansion in 1900, its ambivalence between naval and land power, and the differing points of view of East German Junkers and West German industrialists. In essence both were right, but expansion by land into contiguous territory on the Continent had priority.
Initially the problem is Russia, and in theory the problem might be solved either by a Russian alliance or by conquest. France as a land power is decadent, in terms of the racial theory negroid in its ethnic character, and the pattern of British imperialism is outmoded. The object of German diplomacy and strategy must be to immobilize the western powers, but against Russia its object must be dominance. Substantially this was the theory of German politics that Hitler outlined in Mein Kampf, reputedly under the prompting of Haushofer.
The fundamental error of the Second Empire, he said, was in choosing the policy of expanding its industries and its exports instead of expanding its territory. The most decisively important events in a thousand years of German history were the colonization of the Ostmark and the area east of the Elbe. The national socialists will terminate the endless German drive to the south and west of Europe, and direct our gaze towards the lands in the East. We can think primarily only of Russia and its vassal border states.
Economics
The lines of reasoning upon which the national socialist theory of Lebensraum overtly depended were, like the racial theory, a curious mixture of sentiment and dubious science. In part they were addressed to the long-standing tendency of Germans to idealize the medieval empire, which existed long before the American continent had been discovered, and to the myth that all the political and cultural achievements of Central Europe, or even of precommunist Russia, were the work of German minorities.
Hence the Germans are the natural leaders and rulers of this region. The generalized and professedly scientific argument of geopolitics largely took the form of a biological analogy. States are organisms and the relation between them is one of natural selection. So long as they are vigorous they grow, and when they cease lo grow they die. A non-expanding state is either decadent or the product of a people that is space-bound and lacks the genius for political construction. Vitally strong states are compelled under the categorical imperative to enlarge their space. The frontiers of a state are its peripheral organs or growing edges. In nature a state has no fixed boundary but only a temporary front line, a point of calm in a running development. A good frontier is one that favors expansion, in short, one that makes infiltration and border incidents easy.
Politics
Treaties and international law are powerless to limit the mighty natural forces inherent in a Volk, and in general its constitution and its legally created institutions are merely aids to organize and increase its power. Any voluntary limitation of the competitive struggle by birth-control or pacifism merely resigns the future to the inferior races, since struggle is the law of progress. The culturally superior, but less ruthless, races would have to limit, in consequence of their limited soil, their increase even at a time when the culturally inferior, but more brutal and more natural, peoples, in consequence of their greater living areas, would be able to increase themselves without limit. In other words, the world will, therefore, some day come into the hands of a mankind that is inferior in culture but superior in energy and activity.
The idea of Lebensraum, therefore, was an adjunct of the idea of the racial folk. Scientifically indeed the two ideas were divergent, for if culture depends on race, it cannot depend on geography. But what united the two was not science. The tie was essentially mystical or emotional. Phrases like the cultural landscape or the folkish soil combined two universal and powerful human feelings, the love that every people feels for its homeland and the love that it feels fur its way of living, and they marshaled these feelings behind a plan of military conquest.
Stripped of these sentimental factors the effective reasoning behind the geopolitical concept of Lebensraum relied on the presumption that economic prosperity depends on political control and that both depend on military power. Added to these was the strategical theory outlined above, that military power under modern conditions is land power rather than sea power. The primary consideration was not territory as such, but access to raw materials and a market for manufactured exports.History Hitler’s repeated comparisons between population and area such for example as that the United States has fifteen inhabitants per square kilometer while Germany has a hundred and forty-between the nations that have and the nations that have not or between proletarian and possessing nations, were obviously meaningless except in terms of markets. And the argument that over-population called for expansion depended on the proposition that markets can be gained only by political power.
The geopolitical concept of space, therefore, was a figure of speech derived from the advantages that large areas undoubtedly have for military strategy. Literally it meant simply power extended by the conquest of land-areas contiguous to Germany, for purposes of economic exploitation. In this sense also the geopolitical concept of self-sufficiency must be understood.Science The development of internal resources and of substitutes for missing raw materials were not policies, though some national socialists (Gregor Strasser, for example) thought they were. They were measures to gain relative independence of world markets during war. The geopolitical principle that self sufficiency is an attribute of successful states meant that preparedness for war is a permanent necessity, because on it depends a state’s commercial prosperity.
Probably the clearest statement ever made of the meaning or Lebensraum was contained in the remarkable speech which Hitler delivered in 1932 before the German industrialists of Dusseldorf. The success of the speech probably marked the turning point in his political fortunes. German prosperity and the relief of unemployment, he said, depend on foreign trade, but the idea that one can conquer the world by purely economic means is one of the greatest and most terrible illusions.
It was not German business which conquered the world and then came the development of German power, but in our case, tog, it was the power-state (Machtstaat) which created for the business world the general conditions for its subsequent prosperity. There can be no economic life unless behind this economic life there stands the determined political will of the nation absolutely ready to strike-and to strike hard. Behind all imperialism stands the will of the white race to exercise an extraordinarily brutal right to dominate others.Economics
The white race, however, can in practice maintain its position only so long as the difference in the standard of living in different parts of the world continues to exist. If you to-day give to our so-called export-markets the same standard of living as we ourselves possess, you will find that it will be impossible for the white to maintain that position of superiority which finds expression not merely in the political power of the nation but also in the economic fortune of the individual. 2 years before, commenting on self-sufficiency, Hitler had said:
Our task is to organize on a large scale the whole world so that each country produces what it can best produce while the white race, the Nordic race, undertakes the organization of this gigantic plan. That must not, it is true, be bound up with any exploitation of the other race, for the lower race is destined for tasks different from those of the higher race the latter must have in its hands the control, and this control must remain with us in common with the Anglo-Saxons.
In substance, therefore, the national socialist theory of Lebensraum was the crudest, if also logically the simplest, possible solution of the problems of international trade and politics. It meant political dominance by military power and the maintenance of a high standard oi living for the dominant power by a system of exploitation, that would perpetuate a low standard of living for the subject-peoples.Politics
Short of world dominance by a single power, which might of course be the ultimate goal of a power controlling the world’s Heartland, the theory meant regionalism. The world would be divided into a few great orders or spheres of control each governed by its own dominant power. This was the meaning attributed to the American Monroe Doctrine, to which the theorists of geopolitics assigned a place of high importance as the first recognition of their principles. American insistence on the rights of nations outside the American sphere they construed as imperialism.
Their own plan they often described as a Monroe Doctrine for Europe. Between regions the relations were assumed to be merely those of power, since no treaty could be more than a temporary compromise, and no boundary could be more than a point of calm where two powers were for the time being balanced. Within each region the dominant power, in theory the dominant racial group, would assign to the subordinate groups their economic function and their political status.
Juristically, therefore, Lebensraum like the racial theory would work out to systems of folk-law and extraterritoriality. International law would disappear in a twofold sense. There would be no equal rights of nations and there would be no equal rights of persons or minorities irrespective of race. In any legal sense nationality would disappear along with internationalism. Thought national socialism drew its support from German sentiment its theory implied a from of world organization substantially like that of the pre-national empires.

The Concept of AMERICAN Lebensraum Is Not NAZI Originally
The Concept of Lebensraum:
Lebensraum, or “living space,” was a central concept in Nazi ideology, combining geopolitics, racial theory, and imperialist ambition. Rooted in earlier European ideas of political geography, it was popularized by figures like Rudolf Kjellen and Karl Haushofer, and ultimately implemented by Hitler to justify territorial expansion into Eastern Europe. Beyond sentiment and pseudoscience, Lebensraum represented a strategy to secure economic prosperity and military dominance for Germany.Science
“Our task is to organize the world so that each country produces what it can best produce while the Nordic race undertakes its control.” — Adolf Hitler, 1930s
Lebensraum:
The national socialist theory of territory or space, like the theory of race, was put together from ideas that had been current in Europe for a century. Fundamentally, it was merely an enlargement of plans for a powerful German state in Central and Eastern Europe, which should expand as far as its military powers permitted. Like the racial theory, it was not exclusively German.Economics
In fact it was a Swedish political scientist, Rudolf Kjellen of the University of Uppsala, who expanded the plan into a philosophy and gave it the name under which national socialism popularized it, Geopolitik. In origin Kjellen’s geopolitics was a development of an old subject, political geography, especially as that subject was understood by Friedrich Ratzel. Its fundamentally sound scientific idea was that a realistic study of the history and growth of states must include such factors as physical environment, anthropology, sociology, and economics, as well as their constitutional organization and legal structure.
Politics:
In its development it almost lost touch with its geographic starting point. Behind Kjellen’s theorizing there was also a fear of the western extension of Russian power. The national socialist expansion of geopolitics was associated especially with the name of Karl Haushofer, though many other German writers and scholars had a part-in it. Haushofer added little to the scientific definition of the subject, though he and his associates accumulated vast masses of information from all parts of the world about geography or social, economic, and political matters. What tied this miscellaneous material together was not its scientific organization but its possible use by a military general staff to lay out lines of strategy or by a government that was bent on extending its power.
Haushofe also made geopolitics into an effective organ of propaganda designed to make Germany space-conscious. These two characteristics were in general what distinguished geopolitics from geography. According to the definition of the subject formulated by the editors of Haushofer’s Zeitschrift fur Geopolitik, it was the art of guiding practical politics and the geographic conscience of the state, practical politics being in substance imperialist expansion. Like the racial theory, geopolitics combined erudition with a pseudo-scientific justification of imperialist politics.Science
The distinctive idea in the national socialist theory of imperialism was supplied by an English geographer, Sir Halford J. Mackinder. Earlier imperialist theory, like that for example of Admiral A. T. Mahan, had stressed in the main the importance of naval power and had depended largely on-the history of the British Empire.
Mackinder in 1904 put forward the idea that much European history could be explained by the pressure of landlocked peoples in Eastern Europe and Central Asia on the coastal peoples. This vast area he called the pivotal area or the heartland, the core of the world-island (Europe, Asia, and Africa) which makes up two thirds of the world’s land area.
Australia and the Americas are merely outlying islands. Consequently, if any state could command the resources of this territory and thus combine sea power with land power it could dominate the world. Mackinder summed up his argument in a kind of aphorism. Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland. Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island. Who rules the World-Island commands the World.History
His immediate purpose was to urge the advantages to England of an alliance with Russia, but the meaning of his aphorism was equally clear to Germans. It outlined a project that resolved the uncertainties of German imperialist thought since the Tirpitz naval expansion in 1900, its ambivalence between naval and land power, and the differing points of view of East German Junkers and West German industrialists. In essence both were right, but expansion by land into contiguous territory on the Continent had priority.
Initially the problem is Russia, and in theory the problem might be solved either by a Russian alliance or by conquest. France as a land power is decadent, in terms of the racial theory negroid in its ethnic character, and the pattern of British imperialism is outmoded. The object of German diplomacy and strategy must be to immobilize the western powers, but against Russia its object must be dominance. Substantially this was the theory of German politics that Hitler outlined in Mein Kampf, reputedly under the prompting of Haushofer.
The fundamental error of the Second Empire, he said, was in choosing the policy of expanding its industries and its exports instead of expanding its territory. The most decisively important events in a thousand years of German history were the colonization of the Ostmark and the area east of the Elbe. The national socialists will terminate the endless German drive to the south and west of Europe, and direct our gaze towards the lands in the East. We can think primarily only of Russia and its vassal border states.
Economics
The lines of reasoning upon which the national socialist theory of Lebensraum overtly depended were, like the racial theory, a curious mixture of sentiment and dubious science. In part they were addressed to the long-standing tendency of Germans to idealize the medieval empire, which existed long before the American continent had been discovered, and to the myth that all the political and cultural achievements of Central Europe, or even of precommunist Russia, were the work of German minorities.
Hence the Germans are the natural leaders and rulers of this region. The generalized and professedly scientific argument of geopolitics largely took the form of a biological analogy. States are organisms and the relation between them is one of natural selection. So long as they are vigorous they grow, and when they cease lo grow they die. A non-expanding state is either decadent or the product of a people that is space-bound and lacks the genius for political construction. Vitally strong states are compelled under the categorical imperative to enlarge their space. The frontiers of a state are its peripheral organs or growing edges. In nature a state has no fixed boundary but only a temporary front line, a point of calm in a running development. A good frontier is one that favors expansion, in short, one that makes infiltration and border incidents easy.
Politics
Treaties and international law are powerless to limit the mighty natural forces inherent in a Volk, and in general its constitution and its legally created institutions are merely aids to organize and increase its power. Any voluntary limitation of the competitive struggle by birth-control or pacifism merely resigns the future to the inferior races, since struggle is the law of progress. The culturally superior, but less ruthless, races would have to limit, in consequence of their limited soil, their increase even at a time when the culturally inferior, but more brutal and more natural, peoples, in consequence of their greater living areas, would be able to increase themselves without limit. In other words, the world will, therefore, some day come into the hands of a mankind that is inferior in culture but superior in energy and activity.
The idea of Lebensraum, therefore, was an adjunct of the idea of the racial folk. Scientifically indeed the two ideas were divergent, for if culture depends on race, it cannot depend on geography. But what united the two was not science. The tie was essentially mystical or emotional. Phrases like the cultural landscape or the folkish soil combined two universal and powerful human feelings, the love that every people feels for its homeland and the love that it feels fur its way of living, and they marshaled these feelings behind a plan of military conquest.
Stripped of these sentimental factors the effective reasoning behind the geopolitical concept of Lebensraum relied on the presumption that economic prosperity depends on political control and that both depend on military power. Added to these was the strategical theory outlined above, that military power under modern conditions is land power rather than sea power. The primary consideration was not territory as such, but access to raw materials and a market for manufactured exports.History Hitler’s repeated comparisons between population and area such for example as that the United States has fifteen inhabitants per square kilometer while Germany has a hundred and forty-between the nations that have and the nations that have not or between proletarian and possessing nations, were obviously meaningless except in terms of markets. And the argument that over-population called for expansion depended on the proposition that markets can be gained only by political power.
The geopolitical concept of space, therefore, was a figure of speech derived from the advantages that large areas undoubtedly have for military strategy. Literally it meant simply power extended by the conquest of land-areas contiguous to Germany, for purposes of economic exploitation. In this sense also the geopolitical concept of self-sufficiency must be understood.Science The development of internal resources and of substitutes for missing raw materials were not policies, though some national socialists (Gregor Strasser, for example) thought they were. They were measures to gain relative independence of world markets during war. The geopolitical principle that self sufficiency is an attribute of successful states meant that preparedness for war is a permanent necessity, because on it depends a state’s commercial prosperity.
Probably the clearest statement ever made of the meaning or Lebensraum was contained in the remarkable speech which Hitler delivered in 1932 before the German industrialists of Dusseldorf. The success of the speech probably marked the turning point in his political fortunes. German prosperity and the relief of unemployment, he said, depend on foreign trade, but the idea that one can conquer the world by purely economic means is one of the greatest and most terrible illusions.
It was not German business which conquered the world and then came the development of German power, but in our case, tog, it was the power-state (Machtstaat) which created for the business world the general conditions for its subsequent prosperity. There can be no economic life unless behind this economic life there stands the determined political will of the nation absolutely ready to strike-and to strike hard. Behind all imperialism stands the will of the white race to exercise an extraordinarily brutal right to dominate others.Economics
The white race, however, can in practice maintain its position only so long as the difference in the standard of living in different parts of the world continues to exist. If you to-day give to our so-called export-markets the same standard of living as we ourselves possess, you will find that it will be impossible for the white to maintain that position of superiority which finds expression not merely in the political power of the nation but also in the economic fortune of the individual.
2 years before, commenting on self-sufficiency, Hitler had said:
Our task is to organize on a large scale the whole world so that each country produces what it can best produce while the white race, the Nordic race, undertakes the organization of this gigantic plan. That must not, it is true, be bound up with any exploitation of the other race, for the lower race is destined for tasks different from those of the higher race the latter must have in its hands the control, and this control must remain with us in common with the Anglo-Saxons.
In substance, therefore, the national socialist theory of Lebensraum was the crudest, if also logically the simplest, possible solution of the problems of international trade and politics. It meant political dominance by military power and the maintenance of a high standard oi living for the dominant power by a system of exploitation, that would perpetuate a low standard of living for the subject-peoples.Politics
Short of world dominance by a single power, which might of course be the ultimate goal of a power controlling the world’s Heartland, the theory meant regionalism. The world would be divided into a few great orders or spheres of control each governed by its own dominant power. This was the meaning attributed to the American Monroe Doctrine, to which the theorists of geopolitics assigned a place of high importance as the first recognition of their principles. American insistence on the rights of nations outside the American sphere they construed as imperialism.
Their own plan they often described as a Monroe Doctrine for Europe. Between regions the relations were assumed to be merely those of power, since no treaty could be more than a temporary compromise, and no boundary could be more than a point of calm where two powers were for the time being balanced. Within each region the dominant power, in theory the dominant racial group, would assign to the subordinate groups their economic function and their political status.
Juristically, therefore, Lebensraum like the racial theory would work out to systems of folk-law and extraterritoriality. International law would disappear in a twofold sense. There would be no equal rights of nations and there would be no equal rights of persons or minorities irrespective of race. In any legal sense nationality would disappear along with internationalism. Thought national socialism drew its support from German sentiment its theory implied a from of world organization substantially like that of the pre-national empires.

American Lebensraum
Lebensraum, refers to a policy of Nazi Germany that involved expanding German territories to the East to provide land and material resources for the German people, while driving out Jewish and Slavic people.
Its origins revolve aroundthe German Political Philosopher Friedrich Ratzel and the idea of Germanic peoples moving into territories in eastern Europe was not without historical precedent. Since the medieval period, people from German states had moved east as their homelands became overpopulated. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century, however, that the concept of Lebensraum, or “living space,” was formally defined. The term was first used by German geographer and ethnographer Friedrich Ratzel.
Influenced by Charles Darwin, Ratzel espoused a form of social Darwinism, applying the idea of survival of the fittest to nation-states. He believed that human migration was necessary to gain the territory and resources required for a people to thrive. To Ratzel, the most powerful and fittest civilizations would prevail. Ratzel also believed that new territories should be colonized by peasant farmers.
This agricultural ideal contrasted with the economic imperialism of the time, in which a conquering country exploited territories for raw materials to develop industry. The Pan-German League, a group that sought to unite all people who spoke Germanic languages, seized upon Ratzel’s ideas. In his book Germany and the Next War (1911), Friedrich von Bernhardi proposed that Germany use military force to expand into eastern Europe in pursuit of Lebensraum. The treaties of Brest-Litovsk (1918), which concluded the World War I hostilities between the Central Powers (including Germany) and Soviet Russia, ratified the unfolding German occupation and colonization of the Baltic and present-day Belarus, which together constituted a territory the Germans called Ober Ost.
Lebensraum in Hitler’s Germany
The Treaty of Versailles, the peace document signed at the end of World War I, stipulated that Germany compensate the Allies for damages suffered in the war. The country was to repay roughly $33 billion in war damages. The treaty also required a large-scale reduction in German military power, including demilitarization of the Rhineland and restrictions on German armaments production. Finally, the treaty reduced the territory—and, in effect, the population—of Germany by about 10 percent and mandated the evacuation of Germans from Ober Ost. Germans found the terms of the treaty to be humiliating as well as both economically and militarily crippling.

Watching Tiger Part 2
The greatest golfer of all time, Tiger Woods, has garnered billions in his almost three-decade-long career. Out of those billion dollars, he has spent a few million on his lavish lifestyle.
Apart from housing and awesome cars, Tiger Woods is a big-time watch lover. He has spent close to $175,000 on collecting some of his favorite brands. The list includes watches from luxurious brands such as Rolex and Tag Heuer.
Exploring Tiger Woods’ Watch Collection
Early in his career, Woods was the face of Tag Heuer. Back then, he was often seen wearing a Tag Heuer Link Chronograph which is worth $2,000. Back in 2006 when he won The Open Championship, Tiger Woods was spotted wearing a Tag Heuer Kirium F1 Chronograph. It was a unique combination of digital and analog. The analog part of the watch shows the current time while the digital part of it is the watch’s chronograph. The watch is currently worth $2,995.
Tiger Woods has also donned watches from Tudor Watches, a sub-brand of Rolex. The company customized a special “Tiger” Edition watch called the Tudor Prince Date Chronograph. The watch can be bought at a prize of around $6,000 in the secondary market.
Sometime in the early 2010s, Rolex got the legendary PGA Tour golfer on board as an ambassador. Soon after, he was spotted wearing the Rolex Datejust II with a 41mm sunburst blue dial. The watch is worth close to $14,000. Tiger Woods was also spotted sporting a Rolex Submariner which was worth close to $42,000. The Submariner watches were launched by the company back in 1953 making it one of the oldest watches in their huge collection.
Another premium Rolex watch in the 15-time major champion’s collection is the Rolex GMT-Master II. The watch is worth around $49,500 and is a very classy two-tone edition. Woods’ Rolex watch collection includes another chivalrous edition called the Rolex Day-Date 40 worth $40,000, and is one of the cleanest and classiest collections from the brand. He owns the same watch in two colors, one is a silver tone with a white dial and the other is an Everose toned with a golden dial.
The 15-time major champion is also spotted wearing a Deepsea Sea Dweller James Cameron Edition by Rolex. It is one of the most durable watches from the brand and can sustain up to 3,900 meters of ocean depth. It is worth close to $18,000. It is quite exciting to see how many premium-class watches Tiger Woods holds in his collection. It is quite certain that no other golfer could reach his stature anytime soon, as he inspires generations to come.

Tiger Woods sure has an incredible watch collection. He is into Rolex and Tag Heuer. Long before Tiger signed on with Rolex he was a Tag Heuer ambassador. Woods can be seen earlier in his career in Tag Heuer print advertisements selling the brand. One piece he was often seen wearing was the Tag Heuer Link Chronograph. The model was a standard enough chronograph, but named the Link, so it makes sense that they Tag would want Woods on board to promote it. You can find the Tag Heuer Link to his Chronograph which sells on the secondary market for around $2,000 USD. https://www.wristenthusiast.com/latest/2022/8/4/tiger-woods-watches

https://okmagazine.com/t/tiger-woods/
Schadenfreude; German: literal translation "harm-joy" is the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of the troubles, failures, pain, suffering, or humiliation of another. Schadenfreude is a loanword from German. The closest word in English would be gloat. Schadenfreude has been detected in children as young as 24 months and may be an important social emotion establishing "inequity aversion".

Who Murdered Epstein In Jail?
The vile Paedo definately did not kill himself. Suicide was not part of his Psychological Profile. Survival at all costs was.
Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.
That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: "A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier." It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General. The FBI log describes the fuzzy image as "possibly an inmate."
PG says an inmate was hired to murder him. And prison guards were in on covering it up. Case closed.

Another German American Becoming President
PG predicts Hegseth will succeed Trump in 2 years and in the process Pardon him (DJ Trump) from Impeachment.
"Little Marco" Rubio is in decline as is JD Vance. SO - it looks like Hegseth will succeed Trump.
About Rubio:
One of Trump's top officials is so desperate to establish himself as his 2028 MAGA successor that he is making a fool of himself, with a scathing new piece from The i Paper lambasting him as "no longer a serious person." On Friday, journalist James Ball published a breakdown of Rubio's dignity-shredding participation in a recent UFC announcement, arguing that it is part of his broader attempt to remake himself in a more Trumpian mold as part of a desire to run for president again in 2028, which could make him the de facto leader of both the GOP and the MAGA movement. In doing so, however, Ball also argued that Rubio, once viewed as the default "grown-up in the room" in the Trump White House, is torching his credibility. https://www.alternet.org/maga-trump-rubio/

Gotta go feed the Crows @ 5am now...
PS: On the concept of German-Living Space;
In the 19th century, the term Lebensraum was used by the German geographer and biologist Oscar Peschel in his 1860 review of Charles Darwin's Origins of Species (1859), which had recently been published in Germany. In this context, Peschel employed the term to describe the specific natural region or habitat in which a particular species—or, by extension, a people—emerged and developed. In 1897, the geographer and ethnographer Friedrich Ratzel in his book Politische Geographie applied the word Lebensraum ("living space") to describe physical geography as a factor that influences human activities in developing into a society. In 1901, Ratzel extended his thesis in his essay titled Lebensraum: A Biogeographical Study. Ratzel wrote in the time when the overseas space for colonial expansion almost ended, leaving few sovereign void, a situation which was emphasized by contemporary observersand later referred to as "global closure" by Michael Heffernan. The latter concept is reflected in the main point of the work:
Everything that wants space on our planet earth must draw on the finite amount of 506 million square kilometres of its surface. This number, therefore, represents the first spatial factor where the history of life is concerned, and it also represents the last. It determines all other factors; it is the yardstick for all other factors; it encompasses the absolute limits of all physical life... There is a tension between the movement of life, which never rests, and the space on earth, which does not change. It is from this tension that the struggle for space is born... The struggle for life... primarily means nothing more than a struggle for space.
The same, Ratzel continued, applies to "the struggle of nations that we call battles" and "in a narrow space the struggle becomes desperate." Ratzel pointed to historical precedent of drang nach osten in the Middle Ages, when the social and economic pressures of rapid population growth in the German states had led to a steady colonization of Germanic peoples in Eastern Europe.
Between 1886 and 1914, Lebensraum became increasingly used as a justification for the German colonization of Africa, and was an influential factor in the causing of the Herero and Nama genocide in German South West Africa from 1904 to 1908.
During the First World War, the Allied naval blockade of the Central Powers caused food shortages in Germany, and resources from German colonies in Africa were unable to slip past the blockade; this caused support to rise during the war for a Lebensraum that would expand Germany eastward into Russia to gain control of their resources to prevent such a situation from occurring in the future.[22] In the period between the First and Second World Wars, German nationalists adopted the term Lebensraum in their political demands for the re-establishment of the German colonial empire, which had been dismembered by the Allies at Versailles. Ratzel said that the development of a people into a society was primarily influenced by their geographic situation (habitat) and that a society that successfully adapted to one geographic territory would naturally and logically expand the boundaries of their nation into another territory. Yet, to resolve German overpopulation, Ratzel pointed out that Imperial Germany (1871–1918) required overseas colonies to which surplus Germans ought to emigrate.
Geopolitics
Friedrich Ratzel's metaphoric concept of society as an organism—which grows and shrinks in logical relation to its Lebensraum (habitat)—proved especially influential upon the Swedish political scientist and conservative politician Johan Rudolf Kjellén (1864–1922), who interpreted that biological metaphor as a geopolitical natural-law.[26] In the political monograph Schweden (1917; Sweden), Kjellén coined the terms geopolitik (the conditions and problems of a state that arise from its geographic territory), Å“copolitik (the economic factors that affect the power of the state), and demopolitik (the social problems that arise from the racial composition of the state) to explain the political particulars to be considered for the successful administration and governing of a state. Moreover, he had a great intellectual influence upon the politics of Imperial Germany, especially with Staten som livsform (1916; The State as a Life-form), an earlier political-science book read by the society of Imperial Germany, for whom the concept of geopolitik acquired an ideological definition unlike the original, human-geography definition.
Kjellén's geopolitical interpretation of the Lebensraum concept was adopted, expanded, and adapted to the politics of Germany by publicists of imperialism such as the militarist General Friedrich von Bernhardi (1849–1930) and the political geographer and proponent of geopolitics Karl Haushofer (1869–1946). In Deutschland und der Nächste Krieg (1911; Germany and the Next War), General von Bernhardi developed Friedrich Ratzel's Lebensraum concept as a racial struggle for living space, explicitly identified Eastern Europe as the source of a new, national habitat for the German people, and said that the next war would be expressly for acquiring Lebensraum—all in fulfillment of the "biological necessity" to protect German racial supremacy. Vanquishing the Slavic and the Latin races was deemed necessary because "without war, inferior or decaying races would easily choke the growth of healthy, budding elements" of the German race—thus, the war for Lebensraum was a necessary means of defending Germany against cultural stagnation and the racial degeneracy of miscegenation.
Racial ideology
Poster from the Wochenspruch der NSDAP series, 17 December 1939. Hitler's quote reads: "We are fighting for the security of our people and for our living space."
In the national politics of Weimar Germany, the geopolitical usage of Lebensraum is credited to Karl Ernst Haushofer and his Institute of Geopolitics, in Munich, especially the ultra-nationalist interpretation of it, which was used as a justification for the desire to avenge Germany's military defeat at the end of the First World War (1914–18) and the desire to reverse the dictates of the Treaty of Versailles (1919), which reduced Germany geographically, economically, and militarily. Hitler said that the Nazi geopolitics of "inevitable expansion" would reverse overpopulation, provide natural resources, and uphold German national honor.[29] In Mein Kampf (1925; My Struggle), Hitler presented his conception of Lebensraum as the philosophic basis for the Greater Germanic Reich that was destined to colonize Eastern Europe—especially Ukraine in the Soviet Union—and so resolve the problems of overpopulation, and that the European states had to accede to his geopolitical demands.
The Nazi Party's usages of the term Lebensraum were explicitly racial, to justify the mystical right of the racially superior Germanic peoples (Herrenvolk) to fulfill their cultural destiny at the expense of racially inferior peoples (Untermenschen), such as the Slavs of Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and the other non–Germanic peoples of "the East".[4] Based upon Johan Rudolf Kjellén's geopolitical interpretation of Friedrich Ratzel's human-geography term, the Nazi regime (1933–45) established Lebensraum as the racist rationale of the foreign policy by which they began the Second World War, on 1 September 1939, in an effort to realise the Greater Germanic Reich at the expense of the societies of Eastern Europe.

Trump Kills Psycho Drug Lord
President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Southern Command carried out a military strike killing Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as “Niño Guerrero,” alleged leader of Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua.
In the statement to Truth Social, Trump described the operation as a “swift and lethal kinetic strike” and characterized Tren de Aragua as one of the world’s most "bloodthirsty" terrorist organizations. He said the action seemingly fulfilled a campaign promise to combat transnational criminal groups and seek justice for victims of crimes attributed to the gang, citing several high-profile cases that became central to his administration’s immigration and public safety messaging like the murder of Laken Reilly.

Just watch. America is so violent, polarized politically and unstable that there could be a Civil War. Donald John Trump and his Family plus acolytes are not going anywhere anytime soon. Trump is mentally instable and will not allow imself to either 1. Impeachment; 2. Prosecution (once he is out of office and Legal Immunity is removed from Him).
CANADA better get its act together. Prepare its Miitary for a Civil Ddfense against the USA. Newfoundland and Labrador should a. Join the Trump-American Party as America's 51st and 52nd States or b. Separate from weak vunerable Canada psychilogically and prep its own MIlitia Defenses.

Lift For Longevity
Harvard study says lift 90 - 120 minutes a week
An ‘interesting finding’
According to the study, the sweet spot appears to be between 90 and 120 minutes weekly.
The findings also show that combining strength training with aerobic training provided a significant boost, while lifting weights beyond the 120-minute marker did not provide a noticeable benefit.
That amount of time lifting weights reduced the risk of all-cause mortality by 13%, the researchers wrote. The risk of death by cardiovascular disease fell by 19%, while the risk of death by neurological disease was cut by 27%.

Lengthening Lifespan
I am 54 years 4v months 1 day old atm and am starting to take aging seriously. With my habits and lifestyle over te last 30 years it's a miracle I made 50 let alone 54 years 4 months and 1 day (today is 54 years 4 months 2 days btw... lol). So here is what PG recommends and advise;
A health span — similar to a lifespan — is defined as how long you live without conditions that can hinder your quality of life, like chronic pain and dementia, lack of sex drive etc...
You want a diversity of movement, meaning some consistent, low-intensity [physical activity] — what some people call "zone two exercise," where you're raising your heart rate regularly. Optimally, you do something at a low level every day. Maybe that's just walking outside.
Do about 30 minutes on a bike or elliptical in the morning. Or if it's nice out, go outside for a walk.
Do resistance training four times a week. Split up the workouts by body parts. I've always liked lifting heavy weights, so that's what I do. Most people probably [don't recognize] how important it is to build and maintain muscle mass going into your 40s [and older].
And then the high-intensity [workouts]. Again, it's about finding something that works for you. What works really well for me is, there's a set of 135 stairs at the College Campus in town, about 5 minutes from my house. Usually 3-4 times a week, I'll go to the stairs, rain or shine, and go up and down 10 to 15 times.
How about brain health? Do I do anything specifically to try to keep your brain sharp?
Learning new things is one really great way to "exercise your brain." I think with my blogging and eCommerce Gigs, I don't need to find ways to learn new things. I'm always reading and learning and trying to understand new trends in these spaces. Part of this is about figuring out a way to stimulate your brain that you find enjoyable, and that brings you energy. It's very similar to physical exercise in the sense that if you feel like this is a huge burden and you don't want to do it, you're not going to stick with it in the long run.
I try to go to bed at a pretty regular time, at least on weekdays. I get up at 5:30 a.m. and I typically go to bed around 9:00 to 9:30 p.m. I try to get 7 hours of good quality sleep a night but I normally average less than 6. Last night I was awake all night and got less than 3 hours so it's time for a nap!!!lol
Longevity experts often talk about the importance of "social fitness," maintaining friendships and connecting with other people. I need to work on that ... lol
Now about daily diet. There are in fact foods that you eat either more or less to improve your health and wellness. I make a dedicated, intentional effort to largely avoid processed foods like chips and breakfast cereal, [especially ones] that have added sugars. I have really learned to love salads. If somebody told me 10 years ago, you're going to have a choice between super nachos or a steak salad at a Mexican restaurant, and you're going to pick the steak salad, I would have been like, "You're crazy." But I do that today.
I eat a lot of yogurt. I pay attention to protein, and probably get about a gram of protein per pound of body weight. And I get a lot of fiber, usually about 60 to 80 grams of fiber a day, [including] a lot from vegetables.
What about reading? I blog daily so that covers that. I also collect Hard Cover non-fiction and auto / biographies. A lot of what I read is either the primary literature or other types of articles related to eCommerce, Children's Internet Startups, VC Funding /Investments, health and wellness. As I get asked about these areas a lot daily I want to make sure that I really have a good current understanding.
Here's a quick summary of PG's health and wellness habits or my daily longevityly routine :
1. For physical health: Getting a combination of low-intensity and high-intensity exercise, strength training and cardio. Adjusting physical activity as I age.
2. For brain health: Prioritizing a healthy sleep schedule of 7+ healthy hours of sleep a night. Blogging daily. Constantly learning new things to "exercise" my brain.
3. For social fitness: Spending quality time with family, and scheduling time once a month to catch up with friends. Engaging in "micro-interactions" with strangers in passing. I also recently joined the Salvation Army in my hometown.
4. For diet: Eating a balance of vegetables and protein. Getting between 60 to 80 grams of fiber a day.
5. For Brain IQ diet: Blogging and both online and offline reading on health literature to stay updated and current on new research and trends.
Over and out...

EYE FLOATERS SUCK
I have had them for years since playing University rugby and getting in Bar Fights as a Doorman in Atlantic Canada. They are
small specks, dots, or cobweb-like shapes that drift across your vision. They are caused by tiny clumps or debris in the vitreous, the clear, jelly-like fluid that fills your eye. Most floaters are harmless age-related changes, but a sudden increase can signal a serious issue.When to Seek Immediate Medical HelpFloaters are usually harmless and often fade over time. However, contact an eye doctor or ophthalmologist immediately if you experience:A sudden increase in the number of floaters.Flashes of light (photopsias) in the same eye as the floaters.A gray curtain or shadow blocking any part of your peripheral (side) vision.Common CausesAging: As you get older, the vitreous gel begins to shrink and liquefy, pulling away from the retina and creating floating clumps.Nearsightedness: People who are highly nearsighted are at a higher risk.Retinal tears or detachment: If the shrinking vitreous pulls too hard, it can tear the retina, a sight-threatening emergency that requires immediate care.Management and TreatmentIgnore or adapt: Most people eventually get used to floaters and learn to ignore them as the brain adapts. Rolling your eyes up and down can shift the debris out of your direct line of sight.Medical procedures: In rare cases where floaters significantly obstruct vision, treatments like a vitrectomy (surgery to remove and replace the vitreous gel) or laser vitrolysis (using a laser to break up the floaters) may be considered.

Squats & Walks Help Your Brain
I knew this long ago. Lunges and squats have the power to do more for your brain than previously thought, including helping protect it from damage tied to ageing and dementia - a new study says. In research published in the journal Cell, scientists found that physical activity may help repair the blood-brain barrier, a layer of cells that protects the brain from harmful toxins and pathogens. From boosting memory to reducing the risk of dementia, this simple habit may be your brain’s best long-term defence.
Brain-boosting power of workouts
When you exercise, your body does far more than burn calories. It triggers a cascade of biological processes that directly benefit the brain. Physical activity increases blood flow, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to brain cells. It also stimulates the release of proteins like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), often called “fertilizer for the brain,” which supports neuron growth and connectivity.
In simple terms, exercise helps your brain build and maintain itself. In the new study conducted in mice, it was found that exercise triggers the release of a protein made in the liver. That protein travels through the bloodstream and helps strengthen the brain’s protective barrier. While results of animal studies often differ in people, this study is promising, observers said.
“These results provide compelling evidence in animal models that exercise-related signals from the liver can improve brain function by acting on the blood-brain barrier,” Dr. Michelle Voss, director of the University of Iowa’s Health, Brain and Cognition Lab, told The Washington Post.
Researchers focused on a protein called GPLD1, which is released during and after exercise. Scientists had previously found that older mice performed better on memory tests after receiving blood from mice that had been active. They genetically upped GPLD1 levels in older mice that did not exercise. Even without activity, those mice showed better memory and learning and had signs of healthier brain cells. Surprisingly, the protein itself did not enter the brain. Scientists say the findings may help explain why exercise supports brain health.
Lower risk of dementia and cognitive decline
One of the most compelling reasons to stay active is its role in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Studies have shown that people who engage in regular physical activity have a significantly lower risk of cognitive decline as they age. Exercise helps reduce inflammation, improves vascular health, and supports the integrity of brain structures like the hippocampus - an area crucial for memory and learning. Even moderate activities like brisk walking for 30 minutes a day can make a measurable difference.
Mental health benefits you feel immediately
The benefits of exercise aren’t just long-term; they are immediate. Physical activity triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, chemicals that elevate mood and reduce stress. This is particularly important in today’s high-pressure world, where chronic stress and anxiety are known to negatively impact brain health. Regular movement acts as a natural antidepressant, helping to improve focus, sleep, and emotional resilience.
You don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment to start protecting your brain. Activities like walking, cycling, yoga, or even dancing can deliver significant cognitive benefits. Experts recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, but even small amounts are better than none. The key is consistency. Making movement a daily habit, even in short bursts, can lead to lasting changes in brain function.

ELON MUSK IS EARTH'S 1ST TRILLIONAIRE
What will Mr. Musk do with all that money? I say launch a Universal World Currency ASAP. Congrats
SpaceX, the sprawling rocket, satellite and AI company that together with electric-car maker Tesla form the center of Musk's empire, raised a record $75 billion in its initial public offering on Thursday, highlighting investor enthusiasm for his business ventures. Prior to the share sale, Forbes pegged his net worth at roughly $780 billion, far ahead of the man next in line, Alphabet co-founder Larry Page.
"The second richest person has been hovering around $300 billion, so about less than one-third of what Musk can potentially be worth tomorrow," said Matt Durot, deputy editor at Forbes Wealth. "And only one other person, (Oracle founder) Larry Ellison, has ever been worth $400 billion.”
Most of Musk's wealth now rests with SpaceX, where he holds a stake worth roughly $866 billion. Along with Tesla and the rest of his properties, his net worth will exceed $1.1 trillion when the stock begins trading Friday, according to Forbes and Reuters calculations based on company filings.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Black News Anchors Killing CNN
CNN has put a gay black guy as host of its morning news. The guy is obviously gay or bisexual and cannot even pronoouce basic words... I think CNN should rename itself BNN or ANN (BLACK NEWS NETWORK - AFRICAN NEWS NETWORK) or JNN (Jewish News Network) ASAP.

If current accurate news were not so impoortant this ethnic power-grab would not matter. Give me the good old fashioned BBC anyday. BTW Finns, Norwegians, Danes and Eastern Europeans are good at News with competant Anglo Anchors also.

Jews Defame Trump
Jews really are the last people you trust. Even Trump's Co-Biograher Defames him on the internet nowadays. Trump should sue this back-stabbing 2-faced Kike ASAP;
Art of the Deal Co-author Tony Schwartz predicts Trump is destined to make history — just not the side of it he probably wants. “It's demented. I mean, it's so self-destructive,” said Schwartz, who described Trump as an addict who acts as a kind of “black hole.”
“And you pour stuff into it. And he poured it in and maxed out when he was reelected president. And it looked fantastic. But it seeped out incredibly quickly. And then he has to keep upping the ante and chasing the high. And so now where he's at is there's no high to chase. So that's just that's just a piece of self-destructiveness. He's going to go down as the worst president in the history of this country,” said Schwartz, the founder of consulting firm the Energy Project.
The worst of Trump’s crisis will hit when Democrats re-take Congress as a result of Trump’s self-imposed crises with thewar in Iran, rampant inflation and other Trump-sources plagues, said MS NOW host Ari Melbar, citing a claim be Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) that Trump was hurting his own party with self-serving decisions and his insistence on a kind of slavish loyalty, ultimately setting himself up for a midterm disaster.
Cornyn added that Trump’s following two years of powerlessness will be “the most miserable two years of his life.”
Schwartz said Trump’s “got something going on pretty significant physically, given the number of visits to the hospital,” and his debilitating health problems will likely merge with his post-midterm powerlessness to drive Trump into the permanent doldrums.
“He would not step down or bow out,” said Schwartz, predicting the second half of Trump’s impotent second term to be “a tortuous time” for him. “I think he's going to quit in his own mind. It's like you're playing a basketball game. You're playing a basketball game, you're down by 29 [points] and you say, ‘you know what? I've had it.’ And that's where we go if they lose the midterms. … He is going to quietly quit, even if he just loses the House.”
But Shwartz predicted Trump’s time of torture is unavoidable.
“I think people really — maybe this is my hope — are underestimating how big this [blue] wave is going to be. I think it’s going to be bigger.”
