Oh wow, yes,thank you, I know how to archive live links, but I’ve always just saved to “bookmarks”. I’ve typically used the archiver that ends in .io, BUT I still have to get on the internet to access my Bookmarks. So…it just now occurred to me with your reply that maybe what I really need to do with my “archived” bookmarks is download them and transfer to a drive? If so, then what I really need to know is how to download the archived articles from my Bookmarks to a drive. (I’ve got a lot.)
My thinking is that if/when we get a full on cyber attack and/or Ten Days of Darn-kess/Darkness, we want to have a library of articles cataloging all the evidence documented in hard-copy form. (In other words, we don’t need the internet to access.). I suspect very strongly that if/when that does happen, much will be no longer accessible if/when the internet comes back. Anyway, I thought that is what Q meant about archive offline. Apparently, It’s just the offline part, not the actual archiving, that IDK how to do.
Again, thank you, fren.
I’ve been using Yandex a lot more lately, too. What with the SHTF all over the globe right now, I really do wish I had learned how to “archive offline.” But I’m a slow learner in that regard. Like I really just need a step by step list of directions. Hopefully a tech-savvy anon will do so. Frens?
I don’t read that passage as meaning there were absolutely no diseases among Native Americans prior to European settlement, but rather, that they were highly susceptible to the particular diseases for which Europeans had generationally-built immunity and brought with them to the “New World.”
Such childhood diseases as measles killed thousands since the Indians had little white-corpuscle resistance built up throughout the ages to disease.
I have read similar accounts about Indians being wiped out with small pox, diphtheria, and/or what the Lenni Lenapes called “ Yellow Fever.” I also have wondered about the high incidence of alcoholism among Native Americans—prior to European influence, they had not consumed alcohol and yet, there are accounts of Indians quickly succumbing to addiction to “Fire Water,” and pawning their resources to get it. Since alcohol converts to sugar in the bloodstream, and since the Native American diet had previously no refined sugars, I’ve wondered if their metabolisms were more prone to alcoholism. But that’s just a pet hypothesis, I’m certainly not a scientist.
But back to your question. Just a guess, but I would imagine that prior to European colonization, the natives must have had their own maladies, or else there would have been no need for medicine men and women. And medicinal plants and herbs would not have been needed. Also no need for sweat lodges. Maybe they even had the same “families” of bacterial and viruses as the Europeans did, but just different strains?
Conversely, I would also imagine that Europeans were more apt to contract diseases for which the Indians had generational immunity. The Jamestown colony comes to mind:
Typhoid fever and dysentery visited Jamestown in recurrent epidemics killing 30 per cent or more of the colonists with each onslaught. Yet Jamestown endured because the leaders of the Virginia Company misapprehended the nexus between the estuarine environment and water-borne, non-immunizing diseases. Each summer, death stalked the town as invading salt water pushed up the estuary and concentrated pathogens in the town's water supply. The prevention of disease and death required the abandonment of Jamestown and relocation into healthier niches, which occurred with the dissolution of the Virginia Company in 1624.
If memory serves, in the Jamestown instance, Europeans died but the Indians had apparently known better than to build a village in a location prone to mosquito infestation. At least now we know the lowly mosquito is one of the most lethal vectors known to man. Still, makes one wonder why we would ever allow Bill Gates to breed them. 🤔. But that’s another topic.
Yea JBW’s livestreams go dark about a half hour after show ends. You have to subscribe to the archives to see what you missed.
But TBH his guest last night wasn’t nearly as well informed as Dark Journalist’s coverage so imho you didn’t miss much. Try this instead:
