Germans=Vikings=Iranians='Aryans'?



The northern European wasteland (Lapland) of Scandinavia, the least desirable piece of Europe, was originally populated by Germans (a.k.a. the native Samis), who as Vikings ("Pirates") did what they could with it until they reached maximum success by domesticating cows and killing fish? So they left to trade, raid, and invade others to prosper. Hearing their sagas say they were originally from Kerman, Iran, they traveled the Volga River, visited, and found an advanced Persian/Arabian culture they wanted to imitate? These were the "Aryans" (Iranians) the Germans thought they should be or were meant to be or originally were? So they returned and made Scandinavia and the best place to live and nearby Germany (Kermany) the Aryan (Iranian) capital (because the Nazis found this story appealing)?

German history
The City of Kerman (which gives us the word "German") was founded as a defensive outpost, with the name Veh-Ardashir, by Ardashir I, founder of the Sasanian Empire, in the 3rd century AD [8].

After the Battle of Nahāvand in 642, the city came under Muslim rule. At first, the city's relative isolation allowed Kharijites and Zoroastrians to thrive there, but the Kharijites were wiped out in 698, and the population was mostly Muslim by 725.

Already in the eighth century the city was famous for its manufacture of cashmere wool shawls and other textiles. The Abbasid Caliphate's authority over the region was weak, and power passed in the tenth century to the Buyid emirs.

We've come to kill and rape this this culture, but don't
call us "invaders" because no one is "native" anywhere

The region and city fell to Mahmud of Ghazni in the late tenth century. The name Kerman was adopted at some point in the tenth century [9].

Under the rule of the Seljuk Turks in the 11th and 12th centuries, Kerman remained virtually independent, conquering Oman and Fars [10].

When Marco Polo visited Kerman in 1271, it had become a major trade emporium linking the Persian Gulf with Khorasan and Central Asia [11].

Subsequently, however, the city was sacked many times by various invaders. Kerman expanded rapidly during the Safavid dynasty. Carpets and rugs were exported to England and Germany [Anglo-Saxons loved rugs?] during this period [12]. More

Palki Sharma (Firstpost); Crystal Quintero, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly Wiki edit

Evika Siliņa, 48, is Latvia's new prime minister as of Sept. 15, 2023, becoming the second woman in that position [3].

She is married with three children and previously served as minister of welfare in the second cabinet led by Krišjānis Kariņš [4, 5].

Evika Siliņa was born in Riga on Aug. 3, 1975 [1, 6]. She studied law at the University of Latvia from 1993 to 1997.

There she obtained a bachelor's degree in law and qualified as a jurist. She went on to Riga Graduate School of Law and earned a master's degree in social sciences, international law, and European law. More

Mexico pulls ahead of the United States

Mexico just beat the USA. Find Out How
(Firstpost) Sept. 7, 2023: Mexico's supreme court has decriminalized abortion in a big win for women's rights in [predominantly Catholic] Latin America.

What would Mexico be without US interference?
The move comes as the country readies to appoint its first-ever female president next year. The ruling party AND the opposition coalition have each nominated a woman to the office of president.

Ironically, Mexico's "freedom-loving" neighbor, the USA, is yet to do either. Palki Sharma tells us how Mexico just beat America.

Sexist Spanish influence on Mexican culture

Maybe Mexico still has a way to go to change its Euro-Spanish Conquistador culture, so radically different from the indigenous way women were regarded prior to conquest and colonization. Of course, many historians would have us believe that "savages" were given all the good they have by European settler colonialists -- patriarchy, enslavement, disease, sexism, and Catholicism... The Spanish man who grabbed the female reporter's butt was later detained by police.

AGRESIÓN: La policía detiene a un hombre por tocarle el culo a una reportera en Madrid | EL PAÍS (EL PAÍS) Sept. 12, 2023: #mediaset #periodista #agresion El intercambio de palabras no sería significativo, una simple interrupción en antena, si no fuera porque la pregunta venía precedida de una agresión sexual a la vista de todos los telespectadores. El hombre acababa de tocar el culo a la periodista Isabel Balado del programa de Mediaset En Boca de Todos y se había quedado al lado con total tranquilidad. Es cuando el periodista Nacho Abad se sorprende desde plató cuando ella le recrimina que le deje trabajar y el hombre niega haberle tocado el culo, a pesar de que en las imágenes se ve claramente. La policía ha detenido inmediatamente a este joven y le ha trasladado a la Unidad de Familia y Atención a la Mujer de la Jefatura Superior de Policía de Madrid.
