Wanna Buy Greenland?

Kalaallit Nunaat – Start practicing how to say it.

You have to admit, never, ever, in a million years, did you EVER think the Trump Presidency would be THIS GOOD. Admit it, come on, admit it, no one saw this coming.

Mid-afternoon yesterday, we were all getting ready for the Trump Rally in Manchester, NH. I checked Twitter for new pics from our supporters and noticed a WSJ article about President Trump trying to buy Greenland. Link Full Stop. Huh? He wants to buy a country?

Buying a country? Hehe, yeah baby – There’s your new GREEN Deal!!!!

The WSJ article went on to explain the idea is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Apparently, the USA tried to buy Greenland in 1867. Again, in 1946, Truman offered 100 million dollars for Greenland, but the Danes turned us down. Greenland is an
“autonomous region” owned by Denmark.

The WSJ continued. Apparently, President Trump was at a round table, meeting with leaders, somewhere, when the subject of Greenland came up. Denmark subsidizes the 50K+ residents of Greenland to the tune of 591 million dollars, annually. The drain on Denmark’s purse was causing strain. Someone asked Trump if he was interested. President Trump turned the question back to the table and replied, “What do you think?”

Well, if the largest island in the world is a distressed asset, a fixer-upper, and in a great location, who else but Donald Trump could put the deal together? One tidbit, the residents of Greenland are not allowed to buy land. They only have the use of the land, to build a home/biz, whatever. The land still belongs to Denmark, making such a transaction much easier.

Well, it may have been an offhand joke at the time, but the WSJ is reporting President Trump came home and asked his WH Counsel to look into the idea. Additionally, the WSJ reports President Trump has brought up the idea of purchasing Greenland several times in Cabinet meetings. The USA has a Treaty with Denmark giving the USA almost unlimited access and use of Greenland. Treaty has been updated and amended a few times take a look at latest revisions here. Link

By the time the Trump Rally was over, about 8:40pm Eastern time, CNBC posted an article about Greenland and also referred back to the WSJ article. Link

I woke up to let the dog out about 4:00am Eastern (bewitching hour for the east coast media), and was still thinking about how terrific the rally was last night. The first 9 tweets were all about Greenland, including this one.

Before we buy Greenland we should take care of Puerto Rico.

President Trump has on multiple occasions brought up buying Greenland from the Danish government, and the White House counsel's office has looked into the possibility, sources say https://t.co/xbb4x0qObW pic.twitter.com/84wfdpARzQ

In fact, Greenland is now TRENDING on Twitter.

Of course, the left is knee-jerk opposed to the idea………. but in a desperate kind of way. It’s hilarious to watch.

Why spend money on American’s healthcare when you can…buy Greenland!

Why improve our public schools when you can…buy Greenland!

Why rebuild our crumbling infrastructure when you can…buy Greenland!

This presidency has exploded into parody. It is beyond insane.

If Denmark sold Greenland would Trump leave office? Asking for a friend

The replies and responses are pure gold!

The MSM has clearly been caught with their pants down. Pundits can’t talk and they are stuttering without approved talking points from (whomever sends the talking points).

Meanwhile, others are looking at the idea seriously. This morning, suddenly, everyone is talking about GREENLAND. We want to know EVERYTHING about Greenland.

Here’s a map to get you oriented:

Found this article, written by Rick Mills, which is excellent: Link Rick’s motto is ” As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information”

Good Motto, we need good information. Here is some basic background about Greenland from Rick.

The population of Greenland is 56,648 with 14,719 inhabitants living in the capital Nuuk (formerly Godthab). The majority of Greenland’s population live in towns along the fjords in the southwest of the country where the climate is relatively mild. The second largest city is Sisimiut, followed by Ilulissat and Qaqortoq.

Whoops, this might be a problem…..

Greenland has had “Self Rule” since June 21, 2009 (including control over minerals and petroleum) – which means that the country has assumed making the political decisions that previously come from Denmark.

Did Obama agree to giving away our stake in Greenland? Kangerlussuaq (Søndre Strønfjord) in the West or Narsarsuaq in the South, were American air bases. We still have Thule Air Base in Greenland. From the WSJ article, Pompeo was scheduled to visit Greenland in May, but the trip was canceled in because of tension with Iran. Hmmmm….

In Greenland, the story is all about minerals and natural resources. Yet, we might have another problem……. because of Greenland’s new autonomous rule, but owned by Denmark. Gee Whiz, might be why the WH Counsel is looking into it. Greenland’s constant reliance on Denmark for ‘grants’ and subsidies, is straining the relationship.

The BMP is the authoritative body for all administration in relation to the mineral resources industry in Greenland. Licensees only have to apply to one place to obtain all their necessary licenses – the BMP is very much a ‘one stop shop’ – ensuring efficient administration in the area of mineral resources. The BMP has the regulatory authority to review, evaluate and approve all SIA’s, licenses and facilitate public hearing processes.
….. The BMP took over from the Danish authorities in 1998. (my emphasis added)

Rare earth’s, coal, lead, zinc, silver, diamonds, and exploration of gas and oil makes Greenland very tempting.

*Greenland’s geology is continuous with that of Canada and Northern Europe. It includes:

Archaean cratons – potential for diamonds, gold, REE

Paleoproterozoic mobile belts – potential for base metals, PGE’s, gold and tantalum

Lower Palaeozoic sediments – potential for base metals

Carboniferous Cretaceous sediments – potential for coal

Lower Tertiary intrusive complexes, the Skýrgaard intrusion being the most important in terms of gold and PGE potential

Greenland’s offshore geology is highly prospective for petroleum. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated, in 2007, that the East Greenland Rift Basins Province could hold over 31 billion barrels of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. The USGS also estimated that the waters off Greenland’s west coast could contain more than 110 billion barrels of oil (roughly 42% of Saudi Arabia’s reserves).

For anyone who thinks President Trump is crazy, take a look at what the CEO’s are doing. Yeah, they already know………

ExxonMobil, Chevron, Husky, Encana, the UK’s Cairn Energy and Denmark’s Dong Energy are among the companies that have either already won or applied for exploration licenses from Greenland’s Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum for acreage.

And finally, here is the hook, and probably why our VSG is pondering the idea.

But how will Greenland pay for the responsibilities it may eventually take over from the Danish state? The main challenge to securing greater self-government is overcoming the reliance on the annual grant Greenland receives from Denmark and replacing it with revenues generated from within the country. Mineral mining and oil and gas production would ease this dependence. Fortunately Greenland is highly prospective for minerals and is hugely underexplored – the country is a new, and one of the last, frontiers for mineral and petroleum exploration.

Greenland is still reliant on Denmark, and Denmark is tired of paying for Greenland….. enter……. President Trump.

It’s such a PRETTTyyyy country.

And development would make America WEALTHY again….. Hmmmm…..

He’s thinking about it……..

This morning, is was 63 degrees in south Greenland at 4:00AM Eastern time. Want to visit Greenland?

Here’s their tourism website. Pack well.

Summer

Here is an hour long documentary about Greenland. The ice is 3 kilometers thick in some areas. And hey, with all the talk about Climate CHANGE, maybe we could get AOC to move to Greenland??????? Maybe? The video is great and the photography is spectacular.

What do you guys think?????

Conrad Black on PDJT

Many here know of my great appreciation and admiration for the insights and commentary of Conrad Black. If you don’t know who he is, here is his Wiki page:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Black

Unlike almost any in the media, Black is in a unique position to evaluate PDJT as a fellow mogul. Indeed, he recently wrote a book about him, with a foreword written by Victor Davis Hanson…

While many here may have read his articles, or even his book, it is rare for Black to give an interview. But he did one with Byron York, and Black offers his insights and first-hand knowledge of the President going all the way back to PDJT’s 20’s. Past business deals, how POTUS really made his money, why his bankruptcies were NOT as bad as anyone (even us?) might think, etc. No, POTUS didn’t get rich off his dad. He is a self-made man who would NOT be a billionaire otherwise.

Did you know PDJT first began thinking of running for office in the early 2000’s? Want to know what Black says about 2020?

This interview is absolutely fascinating and a wonderful background to listen to while doing other things. Trust me, you WILL enjoy it and what you learn from it. I hope you enjoy and get out of it as much as I did. Let me know what you think.

MAGA!

My Dinner With Andrew

I must be in a retro mood.

This last day started off – late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning – with my little TOM PETTY rant.

Scammin’ Me

Thanks to our QTreeper realsauce who posted a great Tom Petty video, Won’t Back Down, here: LINK: https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/speech-protecting-the-red-flags/comment-page-1/#comment-230851 Suddenly I remembered one of my FAVORITE videos of all times – the one where Tom Petty understood FAKE NEWS, FAKE ENTERTAINMENT, FAKE SCIENCE and FAKE HISTORY literally DECADES before we did. Here are the original lyrics, …
Wolf, August 15, 2019

It didn’t end there. Thursday night, I thought about doing ANOTHER “audio visual” production like it, using another great song. However, I stopped myself. I knew it WASN’T ENOUGH.

Yes, it would have been powerful, but it was not going to WIN. It was not getting DEEP ENOUGH on the problem. Not deep enough to MAKE THIS MOVEMENT SUCCEED. And I believe that each of us needs to FIND WHAT IT IS that we can do to make this movement WIN and WIN BIGLY.

Maybe I’ll come back and do that musical “meme-stream” someday. But not tonight.

There is something welling up in me – a kind of urge to scream FUCK YOU at the people who have screwed up this world by TAKING what was not theirs – who used not only RIDICULE, but DECEPTION and TRICKERY to grab the steering world of this planet and drive it into a kind of ongoing TRAIN WRECK, from which, instead of accepting their own mistakes, they merely demanded MORE POWER and MORE CONTROL.

Do you know what I’m saying? What I am feeling is RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.

This isn’t merely an intellectual argument – it’s a CULTURAL ARGUMENT – an EMOTIONAL ARGUMENT – even a SELF-CRITICAL ARGUMENT – an argument grounded in our FAILURE to engage the enemy – an enemy which mocks us from the TRASH HEAP of their own mistakes.

These people deserve FAR WORSE than what we have the RIGHT to do – which is to THROW THEIR ASSES off of their trash heap of not just mistakes, but LIES, TRICKS, and CRIMES – and FORCE THEM to help us clean it all up.

THERE. Now that I’ve GOTTEN THAT OUT – it’s time for STORK to BITCHSLAP MY ASS.

Now – I could put that in the hilarious context of the original movie, and THAT is, indeed, part of the answer.

But let’s not go there yet. Someday, perhaps, in a full post. The cultural deconstruction of Animal House over time is a great way to look at both cultural Marxism and reaction to it, as BOTH are embodied in the film. And THAT is something we need to understand. But not right now.

Tonight, I was going through replies in my notifications, and thinkthinkthink pointed out a video which is, ultimately, the whole point of this post.

This is a STILL from the video. Clicking on it won’t make it play. Nevertheless, the image is worth a closer look in zoom.

If there is NO OTHER 1-hour video that you watch this year, then I would recommend that THIS BE THE ONE.

This is possibly the SMARTEST discussion on the right since the 2016 primaries.

What you have here are two of the GREATEST intellects and culture warriors on our side not quite agreeing on things – maybe even not quite getting each other. What results is FAR, FAR BETTER than if they were just high-fiving each other in total understanding. They are trying to convince each other of two perspectives of the SAME THING, and what that paints is a STEREOSCOPIC PICTURE of a NEUTRON BOMB for WINNING THE CULTURE WAR.

What that thing is, is CORE ANDREW BREITBART. Eventually, Bannon actually brings up Breitbart, and recommends Righteous Indignation as the must-read book for this moment, and particularly for a deep understanding of cultural Marxism.

There was a film back in the day – My Dinner with Andre – that was one of those artworks you never forget. This was 1981 – three years after Animal House. The movie is just two people talking about things that have nothing to do with the setting, so you have to use your imagination to tap into the RICHNESS of what they are talking about. AND IT WORKS – in a huge way.

There is a person you never see – central to the discussion – who is like the THIRD STAR. Not exactly a new technique – both Shakespeare and Hitchcock loved it. But when the cast is this small, it has a wonderful effect. It is DEEPLY SATISFYING.

THIS video of Candace and Steve has the same effect. And what is even more wonderful, is that – along with the “stars” of this video, you get to “discover” that the je ne sais quoi they are trying to put their finger on actually IS Andrew Breitbart himself.

WE NEED ANDREW. And we need him NOW.

NOW – before I make everybody RUN AWAY in horror, thinking this video is merely some kind of “rightstream intellectual art flick bullshit“, let me confidently estimate that there are HUNDREDS of game-changing and actionable political ideas here, that will make a huge difference in winning not just 2020, but 2024 and 2028. So THIS NEEDS TO BE WATCHED. By as many people on our side as possible.

But savor it. You don’t see stuff like this every day.

It’s bizarre as hell. These two geniuses could be talking on a park bench in New York City, a dock in Florida, or a picnic table in Wyoming. The setting doesn’t matter. Yeah, the border figures into some of what they talk about, but ignore it. The TRUTH of what they’re saying – especially toward the END – is amazing.

Bon appétit!
