Hawaii 1893: How American Businessmen Stole an Entire Kingdom — With the Marines as Muscle
Hawaii 1893: How American Businessmen Stole an Entire Kingdom — With the Marines as Muscle Kwabena Ofori Osei 11 Views • 2 months ago

In 1893, a group of American sugar planters, backed by 162 U.S. Marines armed with Gatling guns, overthrew the sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii in a single afternoon. No act of Congress. No declaration of war. Just a corrupt diplomat, a handful of businessmen, and the threat of American firepower pointed at a queen whose only crime was trying to give her people the right to vote.
Queen Liliuokalani, the first and last queen of Hawaii, was deposed, imprisoned in her own palace, and forced to abdicate under threat that her supporters would be executed. The men who stole her kingdom? Grandsons of missionaries, sugar barons, and corporate oligarchs who controlled 90% of the islands' economy. Their motive wasn't freedom or democracy — it was profit. Hawaiian sugar was being crushed by American tariffs, and annexation was the only way to save their plantations.
President Grover Cleveland investigated and called the overthrow illegal. He tried to restore the queen. But the men who seized power simply refused to step down. Five years later, the United States annexed Hawaii anyway — over the signatures of 38,000 Native Hawaiians who petitioned against it.
In 1993, the U.S. Congress formally apologized, admitting that American agents overthrew a sovereign nation and that the Hawaiian people never consented to the loss of their country. But no land was returned. No sovereignty was restored. Just words.
This is the story of how America's first corporate coup became the blueprint for regime change around the world.

ISHANGO BONE - THE WORLD'S FIRST MATHEMATICAL SIEVE FOR THE PRIME NUMBERS
ISHANGO BONE - THE WORLD'S FIRST MATHEMATICAL SIEVE FOR THE PRIME NUMBERS Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 84 Views • 3 years ago

How come nobody has noticed? The markings on the Ishango bone perfectly model a sieve for the prime numbers. It is observed (for n greater than 3) that the middle column M of the bone eliminates from the sequence n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, numbers composed of "copies" of others, leaving behind prime numbers only. See the complete paper: https://osf.io/preprints/africarxiv/6z2yr/
[☆N.B. A "sieve" in mathematics is an algorithm or process for picking out prime numbers from the procession of natural numbers].
