Seward’s Day Commemoration of Russia’s Sale of Alaska to U.S.A.

Today is Seward’s Day in Alaska. This is a state holiday giving thanks to Russia for celebrating the sale to the U.S.A. of Alaska with Secretary of State Seward signing the check for payment in full. Something like Thanksgiving where Americans celebrated first people’s providing of food stamps to the starving masses yearning to breathe free, Seward’s day celebrates Russia’s wise sale of Alaska to the U.S.A. so Britain would not get it through forcible expansion from Canada and attack Russia from the East as well as west in their effort to complete a global evil empire.

Alaskan do not celebrate the holiday with king salmon caviar and vodka of course; king salmon are empirically challenged to exist with the state’s fisheries management that has allowed degradation of the fishery, though one can blame high seas international over-fishing too. Still, the remaining King Salmon are runts their ancestors would sadden their ancestors with their bad fortune.

As irresponsible Arctic Sea oil and mineral exploration increases to accelerate global warming, pollution of precious oceanic fluids, habitat loss and endangerment of human life on Earth it is useful to remember that Washington D.C. is still the capital of Alaska too and they, like any corrupt federal politicians, lust after exploitation of the Arctic and confrontation with a weakened Russia as zombies for British proxy policy of expansion through other means. Yet D.C. left the Greeley expedition twisting slowly in 90 degrees of frost for years before sending a ship to rescue the survivors. In the comfortable pink mink-underwear corridors of political power it is only banking deposits that matter-and that is social reality.
