№ 564: Europa (the good old days)

Story of most murderous people of all time revealed in ancient DNA (Paywall)

Starting 5000 years ago, the Yamnaya embarked on a violent conquest of Europe. Now genetic analysis tells their tale for the first time

“I’ve become increasingly convinced there must have been a kind of genocide,” says Kristian Kristiansen at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Almost all people of European descent can trace their paternal origins back to inhabitants of the Eurasian steppe....these people, known as the Yamnaya, and their descendants travelled across the continent during the Neolithic replacing locals – particularly the men – as they went.

EUROPE, April 1

DNA studies show Europeans
descended from violent invaders,
who, if these studies be true,
efficiently dispatched indigenous males
from Balkans to Finland,
from Turkey to Wales
to Scotland, Ireland,  
to Spain, Scandinavia. . .
indulging in unpleasant behavior.

Our ancient forefathers accomplished these tasks
before we were Celts or Germans or Basques
or Greeks or Slavs or Renaissance Italians
or any more recent rapacious rapscallions.

Long ago we were already barbarian
well before anyone called himself Aryan.
This is why we are as mean as they come,
being descended of murdering scum.
Our DNA serves as grim testimonial
evidence for our successes colonial,
our need to invade, oppress and displace
anyone living in peace anyplace.

If we're in God's image, without thinking twice,
you've got to conclude God is not very nice.
Though it is true, to give Him his due,
God is not European, God is a Jew.

№ 382: Last Man Standing

Guardian: Footage of sole survivor of Amazon tribe emerges
Man believed to be in his 50s seen swinging an axe to fell a tree in Brazilian forest

Loggers, farmers and land grabbers murdered and expelled indigenous populations in the area in the 1970s and 1980s, and the man is believed to be the only survivor of a group of six killed during an attack by farmers in 1995. [He] has lived alone in an Amazon forest for at least 22 years. He was first located in 1996 and has been monitored by Funai [the Brazilian government indigenous agency] ever since. A glimpse of his face filmed in 1998 was shown in the Brazilian documentary Corumbiara.

Civilization.
Take it of leave it?
(Freud said it bred discontent.)
And if it kills everybody you know,
you would avoid it — to an extent —
and pray to the gods,
known and unknown,
for civilization to leave you alone,
though it will not,
it's not apropos,
so you may find yourself
with your own Truman Show.

No. CLXII: My Weekly Reader revisited

Trump Reveal and Disgrace
repeal and replace
ever so sweet
watch uninsured
die in the street


Brexit
Rule Britannia
Britannia rule the Thames
even if it's just
from London to Gravesend

British Empire
















Trump/Kim
nukes and sass
“No, I'll kick your ass”
all that remains
will just be stains


Trump/Nixon
one thing Trump won't
take from Nixon's playbook
who'd ever believe his
“I'm not a crook.”


Manafort
I retort
I did not consort.
(Vlad, old sport, 
where's my diplo passport?)


Trump Midnight Confusions
I herewith order
closing the border.
(Which one's my wife,
which one's my daughter?)


Genocides
sometimes Hutus kill Tutsis
sometimes Tutsis kill Hutus
the only difference is who
you send the bill to


Religions
of late I've concluded
(need I add wearily)
there's no taking
religion seriously
