In 1805 Stephen Decatur snuck into Tripoli to sink the Philadelphia.

In 1805, 400 Marines landed on Derna, Tripoli.

Later in 1805, A peace treaty was forced upon the Muslims.

Maybe we need to do the same to the houthis and Iranians.

Figthing pirates is what the Marine Core and Navy were created to do.

And do very well when they are not interfered with (by politicos).

Never a word of this was heard in my single history class in 7th grade. You would think it would have been featured as it actually supports a strong US Naval force, and explains our overall negativity towards Muslims, which I had attributed to other less concrete reasons.

"From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. we will fight our countries battles on the shore and on the seas..." The Marine's Hymn which we used to sing as children. Thomas jefferson was the preisdent who halted this tribute.

From the Halls of Montezuma

To the shores of Tripoli;

We fight our country's battles

In the air, on land, and sea;

First to fight for right and freedom

And to keep our honor clean;

We are proud to claim the title

Of United States Marine.

You are very welcome.

See, the Muslims haven’t changed, not one bit, at all, and they never will.

They are simply unclean animals themselves, who deserve to be sent back to the 7th century, which we can do-something to think about.

I hope history doesn’t repeat itself

It is sure to repeat itself, over and over, at least till somebody puts an end to it, something the will still talk about 10,000 years from now.

“Unclean animals”...”never change”...are you aware of how many are becoming Christian...an obvious example of never change etc as untrue. Are you aware of the many Muslims that helped Jews in nazi Germany. And of Christian Germans that didn’t. If we posted some of the history of the Vatican for example in South America we could definitely draw the same conclusions about Christians...oh and before I forget Pelosi and Biden are also “catholic”. The ones that have no issue with full term abortion aka infanticide. It has been said that the problem with lslam is yes Muslims and many Muslims would agree with you. And the problem with Christianity are the Christians and etc. Do you know about Muhammad Gulab and his village that protected the US soldier in Afghanistan? The movie is called Lone Survivor. Btw Americans invaded not the other way around. Have you read American Spartan another true story of soldiers and the Pashtuns in Afghanistan. Should we judge all Germans by what Christian Hitler did? All religions have done everything to other peoples. No one has the moral high ground in this. At least we can study and even come to know the adherents of other faiths and refuse to allow “gov” and it’s propaganda to divide us and make our “ enemies “ for us. The Gaza children whose entire families have been slaughtered what are they supposed to do with their cries of anguish ? That’s where enemies are being deliberately created and it is western backed Netanyahu that has caused all this. He helped to create and support hamas and paid them to keep the Palestinian people? Divided👈. And I’ve no doubt helped to orchestrate the attack. Same as 9/11 was orchestrated ( and Pearl harbour was known about pre - attack ) . As Biden said if there wasnt an Israel we would have to create one. The Houthi’s have been starved to death by western backed Saudi for years and no one is stopping them. What should they do to feed their babies? The Somali pirates the same bc the west has stolen all the fish? It’s all about western total control of the Middle East and it’s resources and the people are in the way. same as North Carolina and Maui. Etc. The biggest terrorists are US INC. That never changes either and definitely some are animals. 300,000 children “missing”? I could go on...meanwhile baal lord of the flies gates is running around the world checking peoples poo ( smallpox “ vaxx” was created using poo btw ) as an excuse to vaxx and the UN can stop the “war” in Gaza long enough to vaxx ( and sterilise) the starving children and then go right back into bombing them again. Islam isn’t the enemy. Muslims are families just like you and me and want peace. The people must unite against the real enemy. Bc we are definitely being deliberately divided. The Romans used that tactic too. And the Muslims helped to get Trump elected. Read the Quran? Of course there’s dodgy stuff in there. There is also in the bible.

The Houthis are getting modern weapons from Russia by way of Iran as pay back for USand NATO interference in Ukraine. One Aircraft carrier has been damaged and is in dry dock now from drone attacks.

From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli . The Marines were invented to kill Muslim pirates in a bold raid on Tripoli to free Americans

My high school was very advanced, I remember one teacher comparing it to a junior college. I was a history buff . I got the last of American history and then world history before the socialist Social Studies took over . We ever had Civics and Home Economics . In any history class contest . Class split up into two groups to compete . I had to do study hall because I had already read the whole subject book the first week . I had a teacher ask me why I would read such dry reading and I told her I wanted to get to the end of the book to see how it all came out

My grandson is beyond amazing in history. At 21 he is already learning Cyrillic writing so he can read the Russian classics in the native language.

Impressive, just don’t let him study Communism too much, if you spend too much time staring at it, it will stare back. Whether it is “active measures,’ Satan, or whatever, I do not know, but it is a valid warning never the less.

We just had a test drill of the mind control of devils that control the world and hope that the poor souls still wearing masks can get un programmed . Grandson is way advanced in the real world of ideas and has out read me by many volumes.
