Wars upon itself
is destined to die
rots like garbage at a landfill
admires shiny things
adds darkness to darkness
believes its lies
with all sincerity
perishes on the conveyor belt of time
It has hope in nothing
nouns, verbs and adverbs are words
it loves matter
matter and fleshy things\not even adjectives
though it works
Jesus Christ the Redeemer was/is
in-himself for-others
with the Spirit
eternity is a thought
donation of being and time
without death
that passes away.
The origins of slavery is an interesting yet somewhat vague topic to most Americans. Since this is the ending phase of the U.S. National Black history month I thought I would contribute a thesis idea if not a thesis on the Muslim origins of the European and American slave trade.
Islamic slavers captured and enslaved Africans before the rise of European exploitation of the black human resource I would guess. The Umayyad had invaded Spain and attacked Sicily and Constantinople long before European ship development had trans-Atlantic capability.
Of course Europe too had slavery for-itself as is well known from Greek history. Romans too had slavery as did Carthaginians. Each likely had black slaves, although Caesar in his book The Civil War, I believe it was, described a battle with a black General named Numa in North Africa. So the degree of black slavery was less perhaps then, and Europe itself not full of black slaves, as was the U.S.A. later where 50% of the southern states population was black.
At some point after 622 C.E. Mohammedans embarked on a vast expansion north, south and west from Arabia. Slavery was simply a part of human society in that era of low government enforcement capability outside of war and direct condign measures capability. African slaves and slave networks may have been worked into the business models of entrepreneurs of the region.
For several centuries after the protracted war between Islam and Europe with incessant pressure from Islam advancing the battle line northward slaves were a part of the complexity of society and perennial war. In the sea change year of 1492 Columbus discovered the Americas for Europe and the final Moors were driven from Spain at Grenada. Yet interactions had been established and slave trade networks and situations for capture and export of slaves existed that might be expropriated by European human traffickers. Slavery was a ripe business for the age of European exploration and hegemony over North Africa. It flourished in the Americas as the development of European conquest continued, especially driven by continuing Muslim pressure on the eastern front with the fall of Constantinople to the Osmanli Muslims in 1453 and the Sublime Porte's conquests in Serbia and siege of Vienna in 1683. Building up American colonies quickly in order to provide resources to defend against Mohammedans may have added a drafting effect on importation of African slaves to America, if the competition between Europeans themselves for colonial territories wasn't enough.
The European Space Agency is making a study of Lunar agricultural methods. The Moon's dirt, named regolith, has the right minerals for healthy plant growth except nitrogen yet reportedly compacts too much when watered with deleterious impact on plant growth.
To prevent compaction of the regolith with watering perhaps pellet filters made from compacting or fusing the rock should be added to the dirt to create filler-spacing elements in it. Some plants might grow better in a hydroponic paradigm yet it would be good to be able to change the composition of the regolith with matter from the regolith itself to render it useful for growing plants. Plainly changing the mass of the moon is a bad idea yet scientists can calculate that reasonably well and add or subtract mass from it to renormalize. Electro-magnetic mass drivers should be able to bail out the moon from too much mass arriving. Agriculture for-itself wouldn't change the gross mass of the moon after all the beans had been accounted for.
At some point seventy-five billion dollars becomes real money. Because the Democrat Party refuses to acknowledge Russia's historical ownership of Ukraine and share the eastern half with Russia through negotiations it has taken the course of war to have it all for the European Community. Meanwhile Russia's FIDE chess organization has quit Europe and is joining the Asian confederation. Needless to say the cold war mentality of the Democrat Party is an ossified-brain mindset that requires Russia to be an enemy instead of a neutral to positive ally with the steep cost associated with that.

If things actually went well for Democrat Party objectives in Russia and the Russian military was pushed out of all areas recognized by Democrats as western property and an armistice was declared like that ending the First World War it is probable that the status would be like that in 1918 when the foundation for World War Two was laid. At the very least a long term enmity with a perennial Russian adversary requiring U.S. defense spending and possibly military garrisons in Ukraine would arise with Russia and China becoming more integral militarily speaking concerning defense at the Von Biden line demilitarized zone. Europe would have its own Korean war never-ending situation starting in a far more technologically dangerous era.
Democrats have a what me worry disposition toward the conflict since it is not on the woke agenda that is largely a Democrat Party support strategem. Woke is the post-rainbow era homosexual vanguard for integral Democrat Party support that hates hate and is just pro-love love without wars or caused by people with traditional values and morality. Woke may be inspired by Frederick Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil. Democrat leaders may regard themselves as being beyond good and evil paradigmata of traditional moral norms.

After so many years of dominant tweets on twitter one might wonder why a social network for twerps hasn't been formed. Donald Trump's social network doesn't have that twittishness to it that a rival network like a twerp should have. Even if one can verify for a fee that one is a genuine twit ot twerp. a social network cannot claim success simply by charging extra to have a badge of authenticity to make twits, twerps andr trumps trussworthy.
