When a few Canada Post employees in Vancouver started answering letters to Santa in the early-1970s, it eventually led to the most famous postal code in Canada.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

If there was ever any moment to abandon the racial state, it would have been in the aftermath of emancipation. And sure, some ex-Confederates said they were sorry when they thought there was a chance they could be tried for treason, but immediately turned to creating a Klantation landscape.

My guess is that no amount of hardship, suffering, or deprivation will convince this 37% to abandon their commitment to white supremacy. I hope I'm wrong, but all of the historical evidence points to the contrary.
