Forget Greenland or Iceland

In the last weeks Donald Trump has revived his claims to Greenland, most recently calling the gigantic glacial island an extension of North America. While its connection to Europe dates back to the Viking colonization, the land has always been inhabited by the Inuit, whose sway over the Arctic has run from Siberia to Greenland for thousands of years. Denmark claimed Greenland in the 1800s. Greenlanders have been subjected to their laws and conversion efforts for centuries as their brethren have in all of Thule. Now comes 47.

Right now Trump is at the Davos conference in Switzerland and during yesterday afternoon's speech he once more proclaimed his desire to take over for strategic reasons, mainly to place the Golden Dome missile defense system on Greenland to defend against the ex-USSR under the leadership of his good friend and member of the Gaza Council of Peace. New York had been the proposed site for the interceptor site, except NY State is conttrolled by the oppostion. Trump lauded the ice glacier adn prbably has a coke-induced dream about setting ICE on the non-white population and deporting them to Canada. Hs mind on blow flickers through a prism of charismatic meglomania.

Most of the Davos delegates gave Trump a standing ovation upon his approach to the podium and he appealed the world leaders by pleading, “All the U.S. is asking for is a place called Greenland....People thought I ‌would use force, but I don’t have to use force...We need it for strategic national security and international security. This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America. That’s our territory.”

As of yesterday the Pituffik Space Base, formerly Thule Air Base has a permanent occupation force about 150 United States, dramatically reduced from the thousands during the Cold War. Trump wants all of it, but only if he can keep the American public diverted from the non-release of the Epstein files. Only 1% has been presented to Congress, many of whose members are happy, becasue they are also involved with Epstein Island. Who knows? Only those that know and they ain't saying or in the case of the victims, they have been silenced by the neglect of the justice system dedicated to defending the rights of the rich. Greenland. Jeffery Epstein. To paraphrase Deepthroat's line from ALL THE PRESIDETN'S MEN, "Follow the ICE."
