• Pre-Columbian Era
    Indigenous Inhabitants: Patagonia was originally inhabited by several indigenous groups, including the Mapuche, Tehuelche, and Selk'nam (Ona). These groups had rich cultural traditions and adapted to the diverse and often harsh environments of the region.
    Archaeological Evidence: Sites like Cueva de las Manos, with its ancient hand paintings, provide evidence of human presence dating back thousands of years.
    European Exploration and Colonization
    Ferdinand Magellan: The Portuguese explorer, sailing for Spain, was the first European to navigate the strait that now bears his name, the Strait of Magellan, in 1520.
    Sir Francis Drake: The English privateer navigated the southern tip of South America via the Drake Passage in the late 16th century.
    Early Settlements: European settlements began to establish in the 19th century, primarily driven by explorers, missionaries, and later settlers looking for new land.
    Modern Era
    Territorial Disputes: During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Argentina and Chile had several disputes over the boundaries of Patagonia, which were eventually resolved through treaties and arbitration.
    Economic Development: The region's economy historically relied on sheep farming, but tourism, oil extraction, and natural gas production have become significant economic drivers.
    Geography of Patagonia
    Patagonia is renowned for its dramatic and diverse landscapes, which include:

    The Andes Mountains
    Western Patagonia: Characterized by the southern Andes, this area includes:
    Glaciers: Such as Perito Moreno Glacier.
    Lakes: Including Lake Argentino and Lake Nahuel Huapi.
    Fjords and Temperate Rainforests: Found in the coastal areas of Chilean Patagonia.
    Eastern Patagonia
    Steppes and Deserts: The Patagonian steppe is a vast, arid plateau that stretches across much of the region. It's known for its dry, windy conditions and sparse vegetation.
    Tablelands: Elevated, flat areas that are a significant feature of the Patagonian landscape.
    Coastal Regions
    Pacific Coast: Features dramatic fjords and is less populated due to its rugged terrain and challenging climate.
    Atlantic Coast: Home to significant wildlife reserves, including Península Valdés, known for its marine life like whales, seals, and penguins.
    Southern Patagonia
    Tierra del Fuego: An archipelago at the southern tip of South America, divided between Argentina and Chile, known for its rugged landscapes and Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.
    Strait of Magellan: A natural passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
    Beagle Channel: Another significant navigational route.
    Drake Passage: The body of water between South America's southern tip and Antarctica, known for its rough seas.
    Climate
    Varied Climates: Ranges from the humid, temperate climates of the western fjords and rainforests to the arid, windy steppes of the east.
    Glacial Influence: The presence of numerous glaciers influences the climate, particularly in the southern Andes.
    Flora and Fauna
    Unique Ecosystems: Includes diverse species such as guanacos, rheas, Andean condors, and a variety of marine life.
    Protected Areas: National parks like Torres del Paine in Chile and Los Glaciares in Argentina protect vast tracts of wilderness and are popular destinations for ecotourism.
    Human Geography
    Population Centers: Major cities include Bariloche, Comodoro Rivadavia, and Río Gallegos in Argentina, and Punta Arenas in Chile.
    Economic Activities: Sheep farming, oil and gas extraction, fishing, and increasingly, tourism, particularly ecotourism and adventure tourism.
    Patagonia's history and geography combine to create a region of stunning natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and significant economic importance. Its vast, unspoiled landscapes continue to draw adventurers, nature lovers, and those interested in its unique cultural and historical background.

    We’ve already seen the President Trump predict our future with startling accuracy. Back in 2017 he said that the left would take down statues of our Found-ing Fathers.
    The liberal media mocked his prediction. Then in 2021, NY City Hall took down their statue of Thomas Jefferson. But it seems that’s a drop in the ocean compared to what’s coming.

    You see, he made another prophecy. Something that could do far more than erase our history. It could exile patriots from society. And those who don’t react early? I don’t know if they’ll see the other side. Once again, the liberal media laughed at him when he said: “We’re not going to have a country left.” But if this prophecy is as accurate as his last one. The laughing is over.

  • Every 10 mile linear stretch of earth or ocean MUST HAVE 66.6 FEET of "curvature" for the earth to be a sphere approximately 25,000 miles in circumference!

    This is a mathematical CERTAINTY!
    Spherical Trigonometry dictates that this MUST EXIST
    for any, and every 10 linear miles of earth's surface!

    It don't matter if you are in Kansas or Maui, Minnesota or Texas,
    Denmark or Japan, China or Mexico, it MUST HAVE 66.6 FEET of this supposed "curvature"

    And BTW..... that goes for the WATER TOO!
    The Gulf of Mexico MUST HAVE 66.6 FEET of "curvature" for every 10 linear miles of the water's surface!

    Same goes for the Atlantic and Pacific oceans!
    Same goes for the great lakes and Lake Tahoe!

    Every 10 linear miles, in ANY DIRECTION must have it for the earth to actually be a sphere! So PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

    LET'S SEE YOUR PROOF!

  • Mocking God: The Fate of the "Unsinkable" Titanic

    The RMS Titanic is perhaps one of the most iconic and tragic stories in modern history. Launched in 1912, it was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of its time, and was touted as "unsinkable." However, on its maiden voyage across the Atlantic, disaster struck, and the Titanic collided with an iceberg and sank, taking over 1,500 lives with it.

    The Titanic was built by the White Star Line, and was intended to be the flagship of their transatlantic passenger fleet. At the time, ocean travel was a popular and important means of transportation, particularly for those traveling between Europe and North America. The Titanic was designed to cater to the needs of these wealthy and influential passengers, offering luxurious accommodations and a range of onboard amenities, including a swimming pool, a gymnasium, and even a squash court.

    The ship was constructed over the course of three years, and was finally launched in May of 1911. It was an impressive sight, measuring over 880 feet long and 175 feet tall, and featuring four huge funnels, two of which were purely for show. The Titanic was also equipped with the latest and most advanced safety features of the time, including watertight compartments and a double-bottomed hull, which were intended to prevent the ship from sinking in the event of a collision.

    The Titanic departed from Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, bound for New York City. On board were over 2,200 passengers and crew members, including some of the most prominent and wealthy people of the era. Among them were millionaires like John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim, as well as famous figures like Molly Brown and Isidor Straus, who co-owned Macy's department store.

    The voyage began smoothly, with the Titanic cruising across the Atlantic at a steady pace. However, on the night of April 14, disaster struck. At around 11:40 PM, the ship struck an iceberg, causing a massive gash along its side. Although the Titanic was equipped with watertight compartments, the damage was too extensive, and water began to flood the lower levels of the ship.

    Subsequent books and movies included, "The "Unsinkable Molly Brown" which was the story of the owner of a fashionable Denver Hotel of that era.

    Margaret Brown (née Tobin; July 18, 1867 – October 26, 1932), posthumously known as the "Unsinkable Molly Brown", was an American socialite and philanthropist. She was a survivor of the RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912, and she unsuccessfully urged the crew in Lifeboat No. 6 to return to the debris field to look for survivors.

    People who mock God eventually live to regret it. Some sooner than others. It's going to be interesting to see how long it takes for Kathy Hochul, Joe Biden, & Mark Zuckerberg to get theirs.
