I'm told by my scientist friends that many are including agreement to the Global Warming gobbly-gook in their articles because if they don't, they don't get grants.

The Smithsonian Magazine has been on the left side for a great many decades.

I canceled my subscription to the Civil War Times when they ventured into the realm of PC idiocy. Military History Quarterly is headed in that direction with their positive views of Obama and liberalis.

I dumped my membership and subscription years ago, same with National Geographic. I couldn’t stand the political crap they were sneaking into everything.
Particularly the Gore-Bull Warming crap.

The author went astray when she departed from history and tried too hard to make the article topical. I’m surprised she didn’t throw in the “enlightened Greek views on bisexuality” while she was at it.

Yup, I cancelled both National Geographic and Smithsonian years ago when they went full-tilt political starting with the global warming crap. Just like this article, they slip a little in here and there.

I don’t think the Mycenaeans would have gotten anywhere if they hadn’t been able to reach beyond their shores.

Is the Mycenaean Civilization still around today?

I didn't think so!

Regards,

Can you recommend a GOOD history or archeology magazine?

Something that I will not find myself hurling across the room and scaring the cat more then once a quarter?

I stopped reading Smithsonian back in the mid 90s, after their blatant attempt to describe the Hiroshima bombing as wrong, bad, America is evil, etc.

I'm cancelling my subscription and a gift subscription that I give my son.

Good for you.

The fallacy of course is that Americans & Europeans reject every aspect of other cultures which is obvious a bogus claim. What we object to is the elimination of out culture to accommodate all other culture over ours. If they want to hold onto their culture, then they should have remained where they came from, and I for one am ready to send them on their merry way.

“It resonates today, when you have factions that want to throw everybody out [of their countries].


The author also seems to think that what was good at a given time in history is good at any other time.

Old Testament: Be fruitful and multiply.
The apostle Paul: Be unmarried, like me (if you can).

Good for you. Scientific American went left decades ago. It constantly pushes the “Global Warming” hoax.

Every few years my left leaning sister buys a subscription in my name to a leftist rag. First Mother Jones, then NewsWeak, etc. Her latest attempt to change my political viewpoints was Smithsonian. Global Warming is their religion, not even bothering to admit there is a credible argument against man-made climate change.

We need to look at the difference between immigration and colonization... there is a diffrence you could draw a graph

If we call an “immigrant” on one end someone that move in to a different culture and assimilate into that different culture but add some new album element to the cultural “DNA”...

And a “colonizer” some one that moves in replaces/assimilates a different culture

The point is number.

Immigration is a relatively small number add to the existing culture so the existing culture can assimilate the immigrants and the immigrants willingly assimilate into the existing culture but add some new elements to the cultural stew...(the melting pot).. this can be beneficial to the existing culture

Colonization is a large number add that disregards the existing culture and or is not willingly assimilating in to the existing culture but there to replace it. ( this is left concept of diversity... creating new culturally autonomous pockets .. also known as balkanization)..

We are not dealing with an immigration problem we’re dealing with the colonization problem

I faced retaliation, defamation, harassment, and a hostile work environment at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History that was designed to force me out as a Research Associate there. These actions were taken by federal government employees acting in concert with an outside advocacy group, the National Center for Science Education. Efforts were also made to get me fired from my job as a staff scientist at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Subsequently, there were two federal investigations of my mistreatment, one by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in 2005 , and the other by subcommittee staff of the U.S. House Committee on Government Reform in 2006. Both investigations unearthed clear evidence that my rights had been repeatedly violated.

ALL the publications have been completed taken over by the left. Like daily newspapers they’re nothing more than propaganda organs. That includes all the science mags and business mags.

Cancel subscription to all of them.

They're also threatened with losing their jobs.
