Why US Senator Al Franken Should Not Leave Office as a US Senator for His Sexist Comedic Pranks When He Was a Professional Comedian

Such a Penalty is Disproportionate, Extreme and Way Overkill for the Magnitude of his Misdeeds, When Viewed in Context:

US Senator Al Franken, D-MN, was a professional comic at the time of his male-chauvinist public pranks on his then female sidekick Leenn Tweeden, who, during the week of 11-13-2017, reported in the news media that she was a me-too, as a young woman, victim of occupational sexual harassment, vicitimized twice, first by a French-kiss of her on stage during a comedy performance rehearsal and later in a photograph of her having her flal-jacket fully clothed breasts faux hand-cupped, with his fingers comically stretched apart, while she slept, in an airplane seat, in comedic pranks by comedian Al Franken. He is notorious for having habitually engaged in gags and pranks on and off stage as a comedian. During the rehearsal of a kiss for their stage performance, he amped it up into a stunt of surprising her by jamming his tongue into her mouth, likely intending to provoke a spontaneous, wild reaction of laughable consternation out of her, for comic effect, to/for the hilarity of the onlookers (with a maybe agreed repeat of the latter in the forthcoming stage performance, modifying the simple kiss to the wild one in the stage performance, which he could or might have learned, from her reaction and the flat one of the onlookers, shown in the full-view photo, at the rehearsal, was an unworkable, bad idea). The photo of him looking into the camera while he put his hands, with his fingers comically stretched apart, over her fully flak-jacket clothed breasts while she appeared to be pretending to be sleeping, but by her words, and his non-disagreement of her, that she really was sleeping, was also a gag, which he posed for to have photographed, meaning his transgressions were superficial and done in theatrical jest and were not attempts to sexually harass or exploit her for his personal sexually erotic intimacy or carnal stimulation. The photo ended up in her possession, meaning he apparently did not try to hide this photo prank from her. All of this occurred in 2006 in the pairs' USO entertainment tour for US troops and in the context of their comedy relationship, exaggerated on and spilling over to off stage on the part of then professional comic Al Franken, taking every situational opportunity to jest and joke. He should not consider resigning or otherwise departing his office as a US senator because of this silly shenanigans of more than a decade ago, even if others were the objects of his then male-chauvinist gender, or sexist, humor, toward females, which was rampant and essentially socially common then. But he should apologize, which he has done, and declare that what did was wrong then, nevertheless, and is both wrong and exposed by women and girls of our times as intolerably offensive and forbidden. Times have changed and the behavior of males must change toward that of sexual and affectionate boundaries and physical and verbal respect in their encounters and relationships with females henceforth.

Let the voters of the state of Minnesota decide on the acceptability and desirability of his service for them as their state's US senator, and no other/s, on this matter.

At the Militant White Nationalist Rally in Charlottesville, VA, The White Supremacist Spouts "Jews will not replace us." What does this mean?

Pertinent Question Posed by a Facebook Follower to Our Facebook Group on a White Supremacist Verbalized Anxiety -- A Question that Was His Reaction to a Chant of the Participants in the Militant White Nationalist, White Supremacist Rally and Its Incident of a Deadly and Injurious Car Attack on Counter Demonstrators-Protesters in Charlottesville, VA, the Night of 08-12-2017, Followed by My Answer to His Question

The white supremacist spouts "Jews will not replace us." What does this mean?

It suggests in the words themselves that their collective-think identity-group source feels endangered as a population or in social, economic and governance dominance by the comparatively tiny population of Jews of the USA (a population of 5.3 million Jews of the US population of 323.12 million), albeit competitively disproportionately a high achiever population in all such regards as well as in all areas of entertainment performance talent. Apparently, they perceive the presence of too much Jewish talent and achievement for their sense of social dominance and superiority. Jews to them are encroaching on their identity group's presumptive entitlement to complete dominance in societal powers. It's Jewish culture's work, erudition, achiever and hustle ethos that they feel threatened by and unable to compete with long range, an ethos with which many non-Jewish white people nevertheless can compete without the least concern or impulse to quarrel about ethnically with Jews, whom they may socially embrace with a-live-and-let-live good-neighbor attitude. It means they, for the very most part white low and frustrated under achievers, are insecure in reaction to Jews and their perception of Jews threatening their believed entitled monopoly of social power and high status. It sounds like a-here-we-go-again scapegoating and inclination to purge Jews by a non-Jewish embittered underclass. They certainly are of the same impulse to off us all, black people.

I conjecture that they are intolerant of any non-European people, or culturally and ethnically-racially not fully European white people, sharing numerically as a group, or as individuals in top government positions, in social, economic and political high status and power in their midst in societies they dominate overall in population and/or power, as such contradicts their ideology of and shakes their belief in race-based European white superiority and supremacy.

Succinctly, they fear a boogeyman, metaphysical, super alien-race power structure of Jews ruling over them and taking over the world (from their race), which they call JOG, Jewish Occupational Government. This is an enduring grand delusion of many superstitious, mythical-thinking, spiritually and socially-economically insecure, usually underclass and/or racially paranoid-xenophobic, white people. Jews are as diverse in character as any other culture, community or ethnicity of people, with the primarily good, bad, and mixed good-and-bad character cocktail or recipe of such persons and so are white people, black people, Latinos, Asians, Arabs, Russians, Germans, etc., men and women, and girls and boys.

Also, the Jewish faith's theology of Jews being God's chosen people, and the inspirational and motivational Pygmalion effect that may ensue from this for a significant some or many Jewish individuals, may spook, and disesteem, these white supremacists and fuel their superstition toward and suspicion, intolerance and dread, or genocidal-scapegoating hatred, of Jews, generation after generation, ad infinitum.  This theology may be bolstered in dreadful credibility by those troubled by and phobic of it as a matter of its being asserted by Judeo-Christian scripture, the Bible, the old and new testament duo, or Holy Bible, fundamentally of Jewish origin and reference, including, Jesus and his 12 disciples.

The white nationalists, white supremacists, as regards their concerned chant, may have been propagandized by white-racism fomenting and exploitation business-interest fundraising scaremongers and demagogues, and their networks, or cadres, and by grassroots-audience word-of-mouth propagation of such propaganda, to imagine and believe that the said, particularly economic and banking, claimed international, global or worldwide boogeyman power structure of a cabal of financially almighty Jews is responsible for the loss of their once career-lifetime, well-paying manufacturing jobs with generous company-sponsored lifetime family-health-insurance and company sponsored or provided retirement plans having been and yet being shifted to poverty-wage and no- or least-benefits, lowest-business-overhead and low- or no-tax foreign nations, and to low-wage and no- or minimal-benefits legally unauthorized immigrants for service and trades jobs, as well as having been and yet being replaced by automation and robots, and so to blame that imaginary economically-financially almighty Jewish cabal imagined to be ruining their standard of living, economic well being and lives. Would such a financially almighty Jewish power structure indeed control or be capable of controlling China, India, Japan, the Koreas, Thailand, Viet Nam, the Arabian Peninsula mega-billionaire-flush Islamic kingdoms of worldwide investors, Turkey, Persia-Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Latin America, the Caribbean, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and the Emerald Isles, Greece, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Arab-dominated North Africa, black Africa, the Gentile and Jewish businesses, billionaires, millionaires and bourgeoisie of the USA, and little ole me, and so on and so forth? Could a worldwide population of circa 14.5 million Jews control the economies of the many nations as well as continental and intercontinental economic blocs of the world with a total population of 7.5 billion people with many fold more in number of the best educated and trained, highest IQ, and wealthiest non-Jewish people, comparable to such achieved and ability Jews, in a great many of mere individual nations, let alone such achieved and ability non-Jews collectively across the world? No! -- it's ridiculous to think to the contrary! Shut up, suckas, and fault largely European-primary white-race-primary, and primarily European-white-race-invented, no-conscience, primacy-of-profits, no-holds-barred, brutal "libertarian" free-marketplace capitalism, "free of" government regulation and oversight, for these policies and practices, whose subscribers or adherents are primarily business and investor interests of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, and religions. It is individual company top executives, managers and owners who make the decisions to export manufacturing operations and production jobs and to automate manufacturing and production as well as to hire low-wage, low-and-no-benefits legally unauthorized immigrants in preference to native-born labor and legal entry immigrants, and not a centralized or overarching command and hiring authority or cabal for all businesses. Adam Smith, 06-16-1723 to 07-17-1790, of Scotland and the United Kingdom, the author of the capitalist doctrinal book 'The Wealth of Nations,' was the founding theoretician of free-market liberalism political-economics, aka capitalism, much immorally distorted in practice by practitioners and reinterpreters of his free-market thought and conceptualization. Alexander Hamilton, 01-11-1755 or 57 to 07-12-1804, an adolescent immigrant to New York City, NY, of pre-revolutionary colonial New England and a founding father and the first secretary of the treasury of the USA, educated at Kings College (now Columbia University, born in the British West Indies island of Nevis, now the island pair of Saint Kitts and Nevis, of a Scottish father and French mother, was the founder of the original US version of capitalism, highly consistent with the practical and moral capitalist economics of Adam Smith. Jews may be appointed to high positions and leadership in US, national and world financial firms and institutions such as Wall Street stock exchanges and investment banks, the Federal Reserve Bank, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the G-8, etc., but these overwhelmingly are populated and controlled by European white people and white people of the European diaspora, with those of the Anglo-Saxon-Keltic diaspora exercising perhaps most formidable control, despite instances or patterns of non-such people operating as the public face of these. Commonly, they (free-marketplace economics libertarians) "are against": a minimum wage, Social Security retirement pensions, unemployment insurance and compensation, disability insurance and compensation, Medicare, public health and medical insurances, food stamps to the poor, public assistance for poor families, poor individuals and the homeless, etc., (which they denounce as socialism, whereas they are social, humanitarian and Christian-values government programs and services of compassion and care for others and the community of disadvantaged or in-need fellow humans), a publicly controlled and financially protectively supported public school system, a progressive income tax system based on income levels or tiers and any taxes on inheritances of any size (even mega-million through scores of billions of dollars), where currently only large inheritances exceeding the already tax-exempt amount of $5,490,000.00 are taxed, excluding an inheritance to a surviving spouse for whom it is tax free, inheritance taxes they denounce as death taxes although they did not earn the inheritances but acquired them by the coincidence of kinship or an association with the lifetime of the decedent/s who willed the inheritances to them. They also advocate and lobby legislators and presidential administrations for the privatization of government functions, supported by taxes, such as public schools, military logistics and support services, operation of prisons, the US Postal Service, public-broadcast airwaves, etc.

As most often the root of virulent white chauvinism and all other populist revolutions, marauding and usurpations is crisis-intensity economic stress and insecurity, whatever the race, ethnicity, religion or culture of the uprisers, rioters, aggressors, transgressors, insurgents, rebels or revolutionaries, so the solution to proletariat or populist social and political civil disturbances, violence and war would be an economic one. Such a solution, in this technological era of mechanization, automation and robotization of labor and production on a mass scale and the maximized, profit-maximization-driven, outsourcing of industrial labor, manufacturing and production to lowest wage and business overhead-costs geographies and populations, has been recommended by wealth-celebrities Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Mark Cuban and many others of the raging and reigning new techie and new-tech economy, to tax mechanization, automation and robotization, and institute, globally, a guaranteed subsistence income, for meeting the basic living needs of food, shelter, sanitation and hygiene, and health services, to all legally age-emancipated human persons, economic ideas first proposed decades before by civil-rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and right-wing economist Milton Friedman.  Free job training and retraining education should be available to all age-emancipated persons also.  This solution would also go a long way toward minimizing illegal and unauthorized immigration as well as economic invasions and military takeovers between and among nations.  If a universal household minimum subsistence income is to be instituted, it must be accompanied by restraints on overpopulation reproduction, including by free or low-cost birth control products and medical procedures for preventing pregnancy for both adults and youth and both genders, and by the permanent routine public advertisement of these.

MY Comment to Facebook-post Audio-Video Feed on Interview of Richard Spenser, USA White Supremacist, White-Separatist, White-Ethno-State Crusader

My posted reply to a June 4, 2017 Facebook feed audio-video recorded interview of white supremacist Richard Spencer calling for the takeover of the US as a privileged homeland for white people, titled WHITE PERSPECTIVE VS BLACK PERSPECTIVE, @BROTHERBENX -- inclusive of a history lesson on his mythical miseducation as to who founded and built the US from its beginning and rebirth and technological-industrial transformation and ascendency by baptism of fire of the US Civil War and on flaky white-supremacist ideas of [white] racial purity and superiority:

He should go back to his native homeland of the Anglo-Saxons, a true and rightful homeland for his brand of white people who want a white peoples'-only homeland, being blood-and-guts, mayhem-and-murder Nazi-land Germania, albeit unfortunately for them it has been stably and exemplarily democratized, highly civilized and peaceful for almost 3/4th of a century, since Germany’s taming and psycho-spiritual rehabilitation by its victors of WWII, and not covet other peoples' lands for their homeland, including multicultural, multiracial RnB-hip-hop, C&W (derivative from blues and Southern-states’ Anglo-Saxon and Keltic folk music, aka country music -- Jimmie Rodgers, the father of C&W, volunteered that he synthesized his C&W music craft from black people’s blues music and Southern white folk music, and rock legend and superstar Elvis Pressley, musically initially a rockabilly singer and guitarist and aspirational C&W singer, acknowledged that he incorporated black American church, rock ‘n’ roll and R&B music and dance influences into his toweringly successful rock music craft and music-show performance style), modern pop and rock musicland USA (all and prior other music genres derivative of black American music and musical creativity, the only thing ((informally so)) traditional white monopoly governance and economic power of traditionally overwhelmingly majority white America, largely prejudicial, exclusionary, discriminatory, hostile toward and disparaging, undermining, sabotaging and marginalizing of the black American population, has not been able to deprive us of and kill in us, outside of jails and prisons, that has made many non-black music people fantastically rich and famous across most of the world).

Native Americans, Spanish, and their African slaves (since 1505 in the Caribbean and Florida), and disputably Dutch settlement, were in North America before permanent British settlement of it, and African slaves accompanied this British settlement since 1619, shortly after the initial British settlement in colonial America of New England. I say brand of Anglo-Saxons because the intelligent, morally superior true-to-Jesus-creed Christian Anglo-Saxons, including of Britain itself and great Dane truly Christian and moral thinkers of Denmark of the times then, were the abolitionists of the slave trade and brainpower behind the new, ever socially, intellectually, technologically, industrially and militarily evolving great America of our time, a greatness and reborn greatness of the USA of which our President Trump is ignorant when he touts the slogan "Make America Great Again." A black man, Crispus Attucks, was the first of those killed by the colonial British armed forces at the outbreak of the east-coast American revolution against the British Crown and overlords over colonial New England in North America; 5,000 black soldiers fought in the American revolutionary war, in an initially small rag-tag revolutionary army, under the command of the revolution’s General in Chief George Washington, never getting the freedom and citizens’ rights they were promised for their service, for those who survived that war; more than 200,000 black soldiers, largely emancipated slaves, fought on the side of the Union during the US Civil War, which “ultimately” was an incontestable, overwhelming military victory for the Union forces and the new, post-slavery USA, and an unconditional-surrender and defeat for the Southern states Confederacy, with, at its conclusion, the Union army under Lt. General Philip Henry Sheridan having intercepted and cut off Confederacy Brigadier General George Picket’s Confederacy army reinforcements (while also destroying all rail and supply routes and means and exterminating Picket’s army and sending it into chaotic flight, and territorially-capture-and-hold displacing and supplanting those Confederate reinforcement troops) to the imperiled Confederacy armed forces of Confederacy General in Chief Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia, and environs, the pro-slavery Confederacy military headquarters, imperiled by the strategy of win-by-all-means-and-at-all-winning-costs massive, tenacious and relentless, much battlefield and battles seasoned, hardened and learned army of Union General in Chief Hiram Ulysses Grant, aka Ulysses S. Grant, whose army was advancing on Richmond, Virginia, and the scorched-earth, juggernaut and retribution Union army of General William T. Sherman blazing and sweeping its way in on the last major Southern states Confederacy army and stronghold under the command of the Confederacy’s smartest (most calculating, strategic and tactical) and most battlefield efficient General Joseph Johnston in North Carolina (he also was commander of all Confederacy armed in both of the Carolinas, and Georgia and Florida).  Confederacy General Joseph Johnston in his prudence offered to and did unconditionally surrender his army and all other Confederacy armed forces under his command to Union General William Sherman.  Likewise, since Confederacy top war hero and General in Chief Robert E. Lee had no other survivable choice for himself and the whole of the Confederate armed forces than militarily to surrender himself and all Confederacy armed forces unconditionally to Union General in Chief Ulysses S. Grant, he rationally did so, ushering in the reborn post-slavery, in-ideal and social-political evolutionary, egalitarian democratic-republic (US) America of President Abraham Lincoln. USA, Britain, General Charles De Gaul’s France, and Russia/the Soviet States exacted an equally overwhelming and unconditional victory over the armed forces of the equally arch racist regimes of the WWII Nazis and fascists of Germany, Italy and Japan and their allies, in which very large numbers of black/brown people, including from the USA, Caribbean, Africa and India fought, in addition to Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans and Filipino Americans and Filipinos of the Philippines, for the USA, Britain and France. 

WWII General Dwight D. Eisenhower, later to become President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was the victorious Supreme Allied Commander, or over-all commanding general, of these forces and was alleged to have and so was investigated for having a family background of his being a [phenotype] white man of octoroon African American ancestry, an allegation he never denied and that was all but verified by the wedding photo of his paternal grandparents, corroborating the familial background investigation reports on him that his paternal grandmother, Ida Stover-Eisenhower, was an evident light-skinned African-American mulatto/a, with Negroid facial features and semi-woolly hair (possibly hot-comb straightened in having the stiff straight hair look of typically hot-comb straightened Afro hair of black-African-heritage females) in that photo, which is available for viewing in library books and on the internet in a Yahoo.com, Bing.com or Google.com search-engine search on this topic (Ida Stover-Eisenhower, paternal grandmother of, WWII General and post-WWII President, Dwight D. Eisenhower – something the Holocaust deniers, fossil-fuels-sourced human-caused climate-change deniers, deniers that the US Civil Wars was over ending slavery and liars claiming that the black African slaves of the US slave states were not slaves but [really] were employees, nevertheless compulsively sew doubt about and deny reality that is an inconvenience for them (Let’s be absolutely conclusive about President Eisenhower’s African-American ancestry and do a DNA test on a piece of the remains of each President Eisenhower and his paternal grandmother Ida Stover-Eisenhower!). 

   Incidentally, in an aside commentary on this topic of a high-achiever phenotype white person, with unquestionably white looks, including blue eyes, with recent black-African grandparent ancestry is the noble-prize award co-discoverer of the double-helix molecular structure of DNA biologist, geneticist and zoologist Dr. James Watson, alma maters University of Indiana, USA, Harvard University, USA, and Cambridge University, UK, who in his late age remarked publicly in essence that indications were that people of black African ancestry were of lesser intelligence than white people, if not than people of other phenotype races, although he qualified there was no known biological basis for this, but based on IQ tests (whose results are very most primarily dependent on learning and teaching content ((information, knowledge and skills)), its availability, conveyance and acquisition and the extent, quality and manner of these as well as proactive social and affective intellectual or cognitive nurturing or a such supportive teaching and learning relationship, with learning by doing/by learning work:  What one has not learned and does not know, one does not know, and when tested on this the test will diagnose and assess one does not know it, regardless of how large and/or powerful the test subject’s brain is, which nevertheless can diminish/atrophy in degree with flustering, abuse, misuse and/or cognitive-work under-exertion or underutilization.) and their lack of a history of civilization, where, ironically, dCode Genetics of Iceland decoded his genome and found that, as reported in the Science section of the New York Times of 12-12-2007 and the Times of London, “A new analysis of Dr. Watson’s genome shows that he has 16 times the number of genes considered to be of African origin than the average white European does — about the same amount of African DNA that would show up if one great-grandparent were African, said Kari Stefansson, the chief executive of deCODE Genetics of Iceland, which did the analysis.”  Photos of Dr. Watson at the time of his scientific  discovery in circa 1953 show him to look definitively like a white man in contrast to photos of him in his old age, despite his having had plastic surgery, by his own public admission, in his old age apparently to restore, but unsuccessfully, the attractive looks he had as a younger man, that show him as an old man with a melaninated splotched and tan facial and bald-head complexion and a lightly flared and somewhat low-standing nose, clearly suggesting that he could be a light-skinned African American man were he to undertake to socially pass for one.  

    Dr. Watson did not know that King Narmer was the first pharaoh of ancient united Egypt, circa 3150 BCE, unified upper and lower Egypt, and that statuary of Narmer remain that show him to be in facial features unquestionably, unmistakably black-African Negroid, where upper Egypt was southern Egypt, black African, and northern Egypt was lower Egypt, dominated by Middle-Easterners and West Asians, that Egypt was much later ruled for circa 90 years by the black-African Kingdom of Kemet, and that, by hegemonic extension, Egypt was also named Kemet under its rule by the Kingdom of Kemet, a kingdom in which senior-in-birth male and female crown-succession royals were equal, irrespective of gender, as heirs in ascending to monarch, a literate, arts-rich (much of which is in German museums and can be seen in photo books, or such library books, on the art and architecture of ancient Kemet or the black-African Kingdom of Kemet) and a technically sophisticated kingdom that left abundant artifacts and relics its black-African rulers after its demise, the Kingdom of Nubia that built many more large statuary and pyramids than then contemporary Egypt’s but pyramids smaller than the largest pyramids of Egypt, the Kingdoms of Punt and Kush (where at times Kush was a territory within the Kingdom of Nubia and a Kingdom in the territory of Nubia, the Kingdom of Meroe, the Kingdom of Abyssinia (whose builders and artisans carved technically sophisticated royal and religious compounds directly out of terrain and stone terrain, that can be sight seen by tourists nowadays, and that can be seen in photos and YouTube videos), the Empire of Great Ghana (territorially not the same as modern Ghana), the Songhai Empire, the Mali Empire, the Songhai-Mali Empire, the Kingdom of Benin, the Kingdom of Yoruba, and more.   Sculptures of some helmeted soldiers of the Kingdoms of Benin and Yoruba resemble both the mysterious coastal giant Olmec heads of Mexico, black in color and with distinctly Negroid facial features, and those of the Vikings, and both kingdoms were on the west coast of Africa, neighbors of present-time Nigeria -- see exquisite and entertaining artwork of the kingdoms online under the search titles Artwork of the Kingdom of Benin” and “Artwork of the Kingdom of Yoruba.”  The renown word Timbuktu is the name of the city of Timbuktu in Mali that in the middle ages of Europe was a world famous trading center and pilgrimage city for its scholarship and teaching, and technical and scientific knowhow and services, in which it pioneered dentistry and brain surgery. 

     Where there is a void in an individual’s knowledge of history does not mean that history thus is void or null and void, where there are physical, objective records of that history.  Mesopotamia gets sole academic credit for human domestication of livestock for food circa 12,000 BCE, whereas this practice has been ongoing since time immemorial, reduced to remaining to a modest extent at present because of Europeanization and modernization of traditional tribal African culture, in the cattle cultures, often including domesticated chickens and goats, of primitive tribal peoples of East Africa, and possibly southern Africa, where San people were displaced in territory by immigrant Bantu people, and possibly other ethnic tribal people, in far-off prehistoric time, also domesticating cattle tribally and using cattle as currency and a measure of wealth, a tradition in parts, if not most, of tribal black Africa, which the West Asian people may have observed, learned and imported back to West Asia (customizing it and eschewing the black African practice of blood extraction/siphoning and consumption from cattle, or bleeding cattle for consumption of their blood) from their prehistoric migrations and visits into Egypt and North Africa.  It is also quite possible that the invention of agriculture was not exclusive to Mesopotamia in West Asia but co-occurred in Egypt, naturally so by the annual flooding and overspills of the Nile River of Egypt extensively outwardly onto the fertile land bordering on the Nile River of Egypt, and that that agriculturally richly productive land was patronized and exploited, initially harvested and subsequently gradually cultivated and harvested, by the Nile-River-basin native denizens of Egypt, Egyptian river-land that was naturally as productive or more productive than the same natural circumstance agricultural land bordering the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Mesopotamia of West Asia, possibly a rumored agricultural oasis of Egypt circulating in the Middle East and West Asia that attracted settlers, land grabbers and conquerors from these geographies to the early civilization of Egypt, a lure to them of a second, and better, Tigris and Euphrates agricultural oasis zone as well as a land of seemingly unlimited animals for hunting for meat consumption and for meat and hides/plumage, including Nile-River fish and great flocks of large migratory marsh and river roosting and feeding fowl,  as well as crocodiles and hippos, for trade/commerce.  Similar, agriculture may have been the practice all along the Nile River and its cataracts in East Africa to present.  Since the first grain grinding stone, the quern, with its indicated age of invention dating back to circa 8000 BCE, indisputably originated in Egypt, for which the inventions of bread and beer are credited by some scholars of natural history to prehistoric, indicatively black-African, Egypt, products long found also to be made among primitive black-African tribes throughout Africa, despite some scientifically baseless and little-based claims that these products, absent the dispute of the age of the quern and its origin in prehistoric Egypt, originated in Asia or Europe, supports the hypothesis that these lands of the Nile River basin were being harvested for grains in prehistoric times independently of the agricultural invention and knowhow of the people of Mesopotamia and of believed import of these from Mesopotamia to ancient Egypt.  In addition, it is quite credible that the hieroglyphics drawing, painting and scribing writing on surface materials (a tradition that eventually came to include painted walls depicting both black-African and tan-complexioned West Asian/Middle Eastern peoples, of early civilized Egypt), entirely different from the cuneiform clay-tablet engraving and etching or inscription writing of the Mesopotamians, who were among the West Asian immigrant and invader peoples of Egypt, was purely a black-African Egyptian invention adopted by the West Asians in the cultural and societal merging with the indigenous Egyptian black Africans, whom they (the West Asians) later came to generally rule over, with circa a 400-year difference between their separate inventions of writing systems having no resemblance to one another, with the academic community of the history of ancient civilizations crediting the Mesopotamian cuneiform writing as the first human system of writing between these two written languages, dating the West Asian cuneiform system of writing as having been invented in circa 3600 BCE and Egyptian hieroglyphics having been invented circa 3200 BCE; nevertheless, the papyrus medium, made into a paper-like writing material, used by the Egyptians for written record keeping, historizing, communications/correspondence, etc., being easily portable and easy and efficient for transporting, storing and filing, was a less cumbersome and more practical medium for administrative, academic and everyday all-purpose writing.  (It was the West Asian invention of instrumental metallurgy and weapons made with and military body armor made of first bronze and later iron, with continuous improvements in these, that eventually gave West Asia’s various warring and conquestive civilizations unrivalable and unopposable military advantage over the civilization of ancient Egypt, resulting in native Egyptian serial military defeats and over-rule of it by the invader armies of West Asian kingdoms, until Egypt, under its indigenous princes, tetrarchs, was able to master these technologies and at times restore, albeit ethnically diminished, indigenous rule, as West Asian royals often, for fortifying and stabilizing their colonial political power and post-conquest peace, married some of their children with those of the conquered Egyptian royals ((explaining why pictorial paintings and painted sculptures of some royal and royal court figures, persons, are tan complexioned interacting with or adjacent to or are brown complexioned figures, persons, with pointed noses or non-Negroid African facial features, apparent strongly brown-complexioned mulattos)) well as appropriated those of literacy and skilled labor of societies and peoples they militarily conquered – instrumental, or industrial-application, metallurgy as opposed to decorative and adornments metallurgy using the soft precious metals of gold and silver, predating human manipulation and use of practical purposed bronze (( blended copper and tin)) and iron.), a same military material of conquest that millennia later felled the otherwise highly advanced and militarily powerful Aztec and Incan civilizations of what respectively became the Spanish-conquistador conquered colonies of Mexico and Peru, where the conquistador soldiers went clad in whole-body iron-based armor, and wielded the same-in-metal swords, knives, combination spiked bludgeons with an axe blade and spear tip, metal tipped spears, metal-bladed combat axes/hatchets, chains, whips, hand guns, a variety of rifles, one that essentially was a shotgun, cannons, crossbows with arrows affixed with metal arrowhead blades and [Roman] bull-mastiff war dogs, as well as traveled by multi-decked wood-and-metal ships, or galleons, that essentially were mobile, marine forts, gunneries and cannon-ball-firing bombardiers, and by boats and by horses, the latter maybe likewise armored, none of which these otherwise invaded highly advanced civilizations, for the times, had.

     The arts, including music and musical instruments, crafts and fashions of tribal black Africans and ancient tribal black Africans widely are and have been prolific, manifold in concept, style and intricacy, and often elaborate, colorful and entertaining, and sell well to many of those exposed to them across the world.  I hypothetically attribute the destruction and atrophy of the natural artistry, traditional black-African, almost cradle-to-grave, folk art culture, in the descendants of black African slaves in the Americas and Arab taken-over northern Africa and the formerly white taken-over, virtual black-African-slavery nation-state of South Africa, for the dearth of collective creativity among the people of black African ancestry in these locations. 

     See http://blackinventor.com/ , listed under the Bing.com search engine, for a sampling of the historically obscured inventiveness and inventions of black Americans, despite obstacles to it of slavery, Jim Crow/anti-black racist laws, anti-black de-facto societal practices and defamatory propaganda, and virtual slavery and human trafficking of old colonialism and multi-national corporate marketplace economics, virtual monopoly, kleptocrat-puppet-government-collaborator neo-colonialism.  I read about and Facebook share feeds on current black American and black African inventions, inventions of Africa I have read or learned from mainstream print and broadcast media in later years turning up, unknowing of their origins, as market products produced in and attributed as originating in nations of other continents, including the open-air car, a tropical climate mini-car, and wooden bicycle, latter becoming elsewhere a bamboo bicycle. I also conjecture that, just like is the public fact with conventional public universities, that receive government and corporate research and development grants, with ownership rights of discoveries, innovations and inventions reverting to the grant funding sources, such funding also goes to historically black colleges (HBCs) and universities with ownership rights and credits going to the grant funders (Remember that necessary, key black-American Tuskegee University, Alabama, personnel collaborated with white funding-sources authorities, US Public Health Service, in conducting the secret 40-year-long longitudinal medical study, 1932 to 1972, tracking the effects of syphilis on 399 impoverished black-American sharecropper men afflicted with syphilis without the latters’ knowledge of their affliction with the disease or the syphilis study or actual treatment for it, out of a total of 600 such sharecropper participants under study, of  which a control group of 201 participants did not have syphilis (So those initially secretly medically determined to have had syphilis did not infect their wives and/or other sex partners in the meantime and none of those initially determined to be without syphilis ever contracted and spread it in the meantime, over forty years?), and in which all participants having been told that they had bad blood for which they were being medically monitored, or medically [fake, placebo] treated for the fake bad blood disease, where there probably has been and is much research and R&R, benign and immoral/amoral, at HBC universities and others not exposed or reported to the public – a continuation of both advantaged and disadvantaged black people collaborating with their overlords and overall adversaries, of other phenotype-race peoples, by-choice enslavers, incarcerators, exploiters and expenders of people of black African identity since the Islamic and rogue-Christian, anti-Christ (contrary to the universal fellowship, egalitarian precepts and doctrine of Jesus of “Love thy neighbor as thyself;” “Do unto others as you would have do unto you;” “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me;” etc.), inherently immoral, bigoted and depraved, false-G/god, religious countenance and justification of slavery (being human subjugation ((including torture, maiming and killing, oppression and degradation for free labor and sexual exploitation, including unaccountable pedophilia predation upon children and young adolescents as well as unaccountable rape, sexual procurement by position of authority or privileged social and legal status, pimping and sexual-favors gifting of physically aesthetic and desirable females or males of any age)), commodification, trafficking, sales and garbage disposal, death, upon critical disability and loss of usefulness by old age)) and the racialization of slavery, specialized in using black Africans.  (Any such G/god is less moral than a lethally or viciously savage animal and as monstrous as grisly, bloody serial rape-murderer humans and likewise enslavement, genocidal NAZIs and is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a pretender G/god whose nature is that of the sado-necrophile Satan of Hell, with the religion of that G/god functioning as a spiritual front, tool and weapon to recruit and marshal gullible believer soldiers and masses of people for the “fabricators and imposers” of such a deranged, immoral G/god in pursuit, establishment and perpetuation of the imperial political, economic (taxes, tribute, tithes, of primarily or commonly of silver and gold until the 20th century, revenue from sales of religious products, services and site/shrine pilgrimages, financial donation and bequests/endowments, including treasures and real estate, territories, commerce markets and resource, etc., colonies) and social power of parasitical warrior rulers, or royals, mind/belief-control theocrats and theologians, belief-and-conformity enforcer clergy, seminarians and bully, terrorist religious fanatics and goons, oligarchs, merchants, business men and women, top military and politicians.  They are both hoax and ruse divinity and religion.  Belief-control, most often supernatural, spiritual, superstitious, mythological, chauvinist and ideological, is the oldest means of mind control and substantially teaches, indoctrinates, socializes, interprets, propagandizes, persuades, induces and coerces people into believing in irrationality, the technically and factually incredible/impossible, the absurd, fiction, fantasy, phantom/fairy-worldliness, unreality, magic and lies and manipulates believers into largely blind-minded submission and obedience to ultimately narcissistic and self-perpetuating authority or such a hierarchy and bureaucracy.)  Corporations, through their research and development funding of thus, use the science and engineering departments of public universities as bargain, outsourced R&D, so-to-say, contractors or subcontractors, or even colonies.  How do I know this?  Because I have listened to news media broadcasts of protests on the part of the membership of public university academic senates opposing some of this R&D and the using of public universities to do corporate-interest R&D of moral questionability and on the cheap.  Incidentally, some African nations are major adopters of solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biodigester-converted-sewage generated electrical energy (Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Morocco, plus, and Ghana is manufacturing and selling made-in-Africa/made-in-Ghana African designed and engineered cars, and has designed and built its own space satellite and radio space telescope, partnering with advanced Western nations in the deployment of both of the latter, Ethiopia has its own major astronomical center and the first modern, urban commuter-mass-transit, high-speed rail system in black Africa, and both an African designed and engineered helicopter and airplane have been built in Nigeria and Nigeria has a seminal-stage space program.           

Black people were critical in the founding, building, culturally and spiritually-philosophically enriching and advancing, as well as for militarily protecting and serving, the US, and its European allies, something these whistling-Dixie and neo-Nazi white supremacists of the US seem to not have been educated to know and appreciate. We live in and have been living in imperfect but great Lincoln’s United States of America, a democratic-republic [U.S.] America, since the end of the US Civil War, of E. Pluribus Unum -- ideally a nation and government of the people, for the people and by the people, with equality, liberty and justice for all (the citizenry) under the law, ideally, but roughly and inconsistently so in practice.

To those who are too dim-witted to know it, look around the globe, with your mind from your reading of human geography and history, and perceive that mongrels rule the world, in the East and West, and that the Chinese, to a lesser degree, and East Indians have been mongrelized too. The white mongrels, of the East and West, thoroughly won World War II, and China and East India have educationally, technologically-industrially, economically and militarily developed into looming world powers – as the latter two nation states have nuclear weapons and have both successfully sent spacecraft to Earth’s moon and India has successfully orbited a spacecraft around planet Mars, this informs us that if necessary, they could deliver nuclear missiles to any nation on Earth posing a nuclear or existential imminent threat to them. White racist purists and supremacists, they are too strong and growing stronger in every way for you -- you will forever be at their mercy and have to co-exist with them or cease to exist. Neo-Nazi, fascist, alt-right US President Donald Trump, his political ideological counselor and confidante, his version of WWII Nazi Germany’s Der Fuhrer Adolph Hitler’s Martin Bormann, Steve Bannon, along with Fox Pseudo News, et al, are of no use to your ilk in achieving an Aryan-Nordic, or otherwise, authoritarian white-master-race ruled world, although they could in theory trigger a mutual annihilation nuclear international or global war and conflagration.

     Fool neo-Nazi faction Slavs and other Neo-Nazi factions in the Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Sweden, Germany, Greece, Britain, etc. of much of Europe and Eurasia, you are, or substantially are, mongrels too. Variously, Homo neanderthal ape-hominid, Roman, Hun, Mongol and Ottoman Turk (originally from central Asia with black hair, brown eyes, varied nose and lip types and complexions, like substantially currently but also substantially Europeanized in these) blood and genes are abundantly mingled in your bodies and genomes, and there is some extent of these of East Indian, black African and other non-white peoples in them too, particularly the latter spectrum in people of colonist nations of Western Europe. (There are large numbers of so-called white people of all hair and eye colors, skin complexions and body-hair distributions and densities characteristic of so-called white people who are phenotype white people in looks but with mixed pheno-race genomes of lesser to greater degrees.  Also, Iberians are significantly mixed with Romans, Swedes and Moors ((The Moors were a coalition of Muslim Arab and black-African Moroccans, North African Muslim Berbers and maybe Muslim East Europeans (((some paintings of the Moors show armed contingents of fair-haired, among the full variety of hair colors of Europeans, pale-complexioned soldiers, commanders and armies, including such mounted on horseback, of evident European physical identity but clothed in Arab, or Turkish attire, but inconsistent with the centuries-latter invasion of Eastern Europe by the Ottoman Turks))), possibly consigned to Moor command, under the aegis of the king of Morocco, an Arab, by their colonial overlords the Muslim Ottoman Turks (((the Ottoman overlords are reported to have conscripted European boys of their East European colonies into military service and castrated them, making ferociously-fighting eunuch armies of them  – my guess is that they removed the penis but left the testicles, although they very well may have removed the testicles too)), who ((the Moors))) conquered and ruled over, as resident rulers, the Iberian territories and peoples of Spain and Portugal)), at a minimum.  Italians, as the territorial nucleus of the Roman Empire, a slave-master and slave import empire of Europeans, West Asians, Middle Easterners, North Africans, allegedly Chinese adolescent girls too, etc., and with parts of Italy having been colonized by Arabs and mixed pheno-race Greeks, in ancient times, before the reign of the Roman Empire, would be ethno-racially mixed with a little of a lot of different peoples, and with Neanderthals, included, for the Iberians and Italians.)  Moreover, Adolph Hitler’s Nazi elites intended on a labor-usability-criteria, per-individual, triage basis to enslave versus exterminate the Slavs, and wholly exterminate the Russians. It is because of the abysmally failed latter by the Nazi regime and the complete triumph of the Russian-Soviets armed forces over them, that Joseph Stalin, always-head-of-the-class, leader of the Russians-Soviets, murderously and labor-camp-imprisonment purged Russia and the Soviet states in the millions of domestic Nazi sympathizers, aficionados, admirers and their [suspected] loyalist Sudeten Germans, preemptively eliminating permanently any possibility of an uprising, insurrection or subversion by them within Russia and the Soviet states – descendants of the Slavic Russian armed forces that defeated, in net military effect as opposed to strictly its larger casualties to, those of Prussian Emperor Frederick II, aka Frederick the Great, in the Russian war front/part (the Russian-Prussian war theatre) with them of the seven-years European continental, plus, war, 1756 to 1763, which were permanently severely hobbled by the Russian forces, thereby ultimately forcing Frederick II, 1712 to 1786, king/kaiser 1740 to 1786, and the Prussian military and its primary and militarily most powerful ally Britain to negotiate overall military stalemate peace terms with the counterpart European armed forces, France, Sweden, Austria, et al., arrayed against them.  By contrast, the Russian armed forces on the whole remained fully intact and militarily robust with much more formidable war fighting resources and capacity than Prussia and Russia itself remained essentially defensibly unbreachable.  Nevertheless, this battle variously was academically deemed a stalemate, a military mauling of Prussia by Russia, or a pyrrhic victory for Prussia in Prussia having survived the war front with Russia and in having inflicted heavier casualties on the offensively fighting Russians (a war from which the Russians armed forces were withdrawn by the accession of the new czar, heir Peter III, to the Russian throne).  (Capable, high-capacity offensive forces, aggressor forces, commonly will initially take, endure, higher casualties to those of a militarily well-prepared, competent and well-manned defensive force, with the intention of critically degrading and breaking down the defender forces’ defensive and counteroffensive capability to the follow-up, continued assault of storm-and-breach, hit-and-run, and tendered victory waves, or wave swarms, of the offensive forces, or their renewed, further incursions.)   Their military ancestors also defeated thereafter the armed forces of Imperial France under General-Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, in his initial imperial conquest of Europe and greater Europe.  Each of the latter military powers had wreaked havoc on much of Europe and beyond for its imperial hegemony, hitherto (until their military brawls with and defeats by Russia). Also, so masochistically and self-effacingly grimly misguided and crazy of them, I’ve even read mainstream news media news reports of neo-Nazi incidents in Israel in recent years on the part of some immigrant Jewish youth there, where Jews were highest priority victims of extermination of the WWII Nazis.

Minority black African, or such diaspora, Hispanic, Asian as well as white populations in, along with an administratively screened and legally accepted trickle of good health, character, education and skills immigrants into, the USA and Western Europe and an ongoing modest admixtures of the genes of these into their own populations (the host nation, majority-people populations), eventually hidden, by remixing, behind both non-white and white phenotypes, is quite possibly the biologically based magic, hybrid vigor, behind their socially and technologically creative and competitive seeming societal magic, combined with their abundance and variety of healthy and healthful natural foods, comparatively good health services and practices (optimizing the epigenetic gene pool, or collective gene pool), widespread attraction to sports and engagement in physical fitness exercise and practices, ethical and ethics socialization, mass public education together with STEM education and build-it and building-trade skills training, and theoretically all-citizens’ equal-rights and equal-opportunity civil and marketplace-economics participatory democratic-republic political-economics system.  STEM means science, technology, engineering and math.

(The Deus Ex Machina of the European Rise to the Presiding Planetary Techno-Intellectual and Industrial and Military Human Power -- Not Genetic, Nor Inevitable, Nor an Entitlement, But a Favorable Circumstance and Cascading, Branching Phenomenon, Including CERN’s LHC & Sci-Tech R&D Generally, and a Gift that Keeps on Giving to Its Devotees and Augmenters, Whomever they May Be:  I contend that it is societal mass education and the democratization of education and flexible meritocratic education, allowing for multiple adaptability chances to educational achievement (educational-system acquisition of institutionally, industrially and entrepreneurially/commercially valuable knowledge and skills), as well as a mass intellectual and entrepreneurially culture, including nerd and geek informal and private subcultures, occasioned by the greatly improved, reinvention of the printing press in Europe resulting in the proliferation of publications and literacy there as well as followed by the industrial revolution founded there, necessitating mass education in reading, writing, math, technical drawing and other industry-related sci-tech knowledge and skills.  It can credibly be argued that the industrial revolution itself, that arose in and spread globally from Europe, was the product of the ever-increasing speedy mass production and proliferation of publications of the greatly improved reinvention in Europe of the printing press, as contrasted with the far more elementary and crude predecessor versions of the printing press invented in China and Korea, that foreran and seeded and fertilized the industrial revolution by the geographically and socially broad dissemination and exchange of knowledge and ideas, and strategic, valued, inspiring, entertaining and interesting information and thought themselves, along with being the product of this reinvention’s resulting mass-scale proliferation of public and private schools and libraries further undergirding and reinforcing such knowledge and ideas, etc., dissemination and exchange, that culminated in catapulting European societies and sci-tech achievement above the other non-European societies of the planet, some of which were far more advanced than European societies for millennia and are now catching up with advanced European societies by adopting and copying their practices and socio-economic paradigm of [sci-tech] mass education and a culture of sci-tech intellectualism, including geek and nerd subcultures, and private enterprise/entrepreneurialism.  “The next techno-intellectual leap forward and revolutionary, new multimedia printing press, dependent on a maximum of internet democracy and net neutrality freedom from government, oligarchical wealth and concentrated communications companies’ dominance and gate-keeper control, is the convergence of personal/private computers and apps, telecommunications and broadcast media and technologies, the cyber-sphere worldwide internet system, artificial intelligence and virtual reality, and their integrated endless improvement and evolution.”  (Notes:  Introduction of European printing press, 1439, invented uniquely with movable type by Johannes Gutenberg of Mainz ((in what now is Germany)), gestation period of the scientific revolution, in Europe, 1543 to 1677 CE, the age of reason, aka the enlightenment, in Europe, 1685 to 1815 CE, debut, gestation period, of industrial revolution, 1760 to 1850 CE, initialized in Britain. 

     However, according to my university undergrad education in experimental design, there is no proof that science originated in Mesopotamia, as is widely reported in academia, nor, by academic consensus, in Europe, but had its first written record documented in an ancient Egyptian account of an ancient Egyptian magistrate, who, to the best of my rough recall, following the survival of one convict sentenced to death, along with others, who alone survived the execution by means of their forced ingestion of poison, devised data gathering and the experimental procedure to evaluate objectively how he survived.  In the magistrate’s investigation as to how the one convict survived his execution by poison, he was informed that that one convict had, prior to the performance of the execution by poisoning, ingested an alleged antidote to the poison, where an antidote to poisoning was a novel concept to the magistrate, and apparently to the criminal justice system. To test the validity of the alleged antidote the magistrate assigned one group of death-sentence convicts to a control group whose convicts were served poison without having been first served the alleged antidote and a second group of such convicts to an experimental group whose convicts were first served the alleged antidote to the death-sentence poison before they were served the poison.   The magistrate observed that whereas all of the convicts who were not served the alleged antidote died, none of those who first ingested the alleged antidote prior to being served the same poison died.  This experiment confirmed the antidotal validity of the claimed antidote to the death-sentence poison, and is the first record of the empirical, objective, reality-test basic experimental design, consisting of a comparison control and/((or, “versus”)) experimental condition.)    

     Even Germany, according to a synopsis I read on a book titled to the effect ‘The Black Holocaust,’ had a small, long-standing population of black Germans of black African ancestry until and during the tenure of the Nazi Third Reich regime of Germany that was sterilized and as a result of it being unable to reproduce, went extinct in circa a generation thereafter, excluding phenotype white Germans with a socially-physically invisible black African heritage.  This had credibility to me because pre-WWI Germany was a European colonial power with colonies in black Africa, from which some black African people, like other European colonial powers had imported home, it would, too, likely have imported into itself, the overlord nation.  Years before I read this synopsis, or overview essay on the book, I had seen the artwork paintings of each Dutch fine arts painter Hieronymous Bosch, 1450-1516 CE, and one of the family of Flemish fine arts painters either Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Pieter Bruegel the Younger or Jan Bruegel, 1525 to 1638 CE, and had seen a painting of each Bosch and one of the Bruegels showing a nude black person or multiple nudes in one painting or both paintings, or clothed black people in the second painting, in the midst of majority numbers of nude white people in one or both paintings or clothed in the second painting, in which the black people were depicted as harmoniously belonging to the groups of enveloping white people and equals in the groups, leading me to consider when I read the essay on the ‘Black Holocaust’ book that apparently race fraternizing, mixing and interbreeding may have been of no or little concern and so occurred in  overlord European colonial nations and may have occurred within Germany itself in Germany’s past, too, as a European colonial power in black Africa and in its relationship with some black African people imported into Germany, prior to the racial hierarchy ideology of the pseudoscience eugenics of the Nazi regime of Germany of its Third Reich regime and the WWII era.  I have read that better-off white people in the US tend to have a maximum tolerance in their communities of an 8% presence of better-off black people.  So, some European colonial nations of Europe, like Germany, before the WWII era, may have, based on and limiting themselves by intuitive feeling or social instinct, imported modest numbers of black Africans as specialized, inexpensive laborers and reproductively assimilated ongoingly a fraction of this modest percentage (the physically, temperamentally and socially-cognitively desirable ones), with modest, little or no apprehension. 

(P.S.  As there are some very few historians in the mass media of late who, not disputing his role in the downfall of Confederacy General in Chief Robert E. Lee, talk down the stature of Union Lt. General Philip Henry Sheridan as a great US Civil War and Union general, readers should read widely his military biography and see that top Confederacy generals were fired or resigned from their commissions as a result of their defeats to his troops, evacuated the battle arena as well as lost their lives and reputations to him, although some fought grueling battles with his troops, and that following the Civil War he was hired as a war consultant and observer by Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War, 07-19-1870 to 05-10-1871, which was France's worst military defeat and humiliation and that the US government barred him from any further military consulting and observer work for any other foreign government, among which Mexico wished to hire him for such purposes.  Philip Sheridan died as Commanding General of the US Army at the age of 57 on 06-01-1888.  His subordinate Brigadier General George Custer (I recently read an unreliable source that he had attained the rank of major general before the end of the Civil War), one of a good number of his excellent subordinate commanders during the US Civil War, was not at all the foundation of his successes in battle; rather, academically, Custer graduated at the bottom of his military academy class and was a mediocre military officer until he was assigned to Sheridan’s command, where it was Sheridan who groomed him into being an exemplary soldier, commander and rising star, including in promotions, in the Union Armed Forces, whereas after the Civil War, after his separation from the command leadership of Sheridan, Custer lost rank and led as a post-CW commander the worst military defeat, against Native Americans warriors, in US military history.  George Custer died in battle with the rank of lieutenant colonel in the US Army at the age of 36 on 06-25-1876 in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Montana, to my own grief and regret, a death that General Sheridan's eventual high command of the US Army would mortally, in a sense, avenge, in perfecting the subjugation of the Native Americans to the Anglo-society US Government.  Ladies, feminists and gentlemen of sensitive sensibility, please grant me rhetorical license in saying, in borrowing a phrase from former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, that “If, with regard to the Americas, the US Civil War was ‘The Mother of All Wars,’ then Union Lt. General Philip Henry Sheridan was a motherfucker!”)
