Oh, wow! There are so many stories on this subject to choose from (eradicating the efforts of women, queer, coloured people, etc. from military websites, including, hilariously enough any mention of the famously-homosexual nuclear bomber, the Enola Gay...) but this one really is a shocker.

 

https://www.axios.com/local/salt-lake-city/2025/03/17/navajo-code-talkers-trump-dei-military-websites-wwii

 

Navajo code talkers scrubbed from history. 

 

A two-man team of Navajo code talkers attached to a Marine regiment in the Pacific relay orders over the field radio using their native language. 

 

Articles about the renowned Native American Code Talkers have disappeared from some military websites, with several broken URLs now labeled "DEI."

 

Why it matters: From 1942 to 1945, the Navajo Code Talkers were instrumental in every major Marine Corps operation in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

 

They were critical to securing America's victory at Iwo Jima.

 

 

Code talkers - because they didn't have a written language their 'code' was impossible to crack.

 

More history re-written so that the white man is the superior race. Of course, there are no parallels to any history there.

'morning Gareth,

 

Pertinent to this thread though, The Trump is a doom spiral - think I said the other afternoon that I haven't seen any good news stories about him for a few weeks, doesn't need much searching to get the negative stories, they are all over the news!

Just because it's not splashed over your Twatter feeds doesn't mean good things aren't happening.

 

I just don't need to trawl the depths of social media finding TDS memes and going into a chicken little doom spiral.

 

If you want doom spiral fire up the labour thread.

... go on then.... name one... and I bet you are going to say 'sacking all the low paid junior workers'

They weren't junior, but probationary.

Like any business, LIFO.

 

But yes, a return to normal non climate alarmism and restarting nuclear.

 

I read the Dutch are restarting their nuclear later this year after climate types closed it a few years back, the french are planning 6 under a government backed loan and orano expansion.

 

So yes, less rhetoric and more action.

And related to POTUS, and your pal, Trumpy? Good news, he has sacked the junior workers. Yup, throw the youth onto the scrap heap for future generations to fix.

You always seem soooo critical of every decision, yet always fail to find a solution.

 

Carrying on as it was, isn't a solution, neither is letting everyone flood over the borders or giving hunter 18 special agents for security.

 

Find solutions, I know you're job in some anonymous corporate cubicle probably rewards inaction and not changing things.

Ahhh, a distraction, you cannot find any thing that Trumpy has done yet that is good so it is an attempted personal attack. OK. You were doing so well avoiding doing that recently too.

It not a distraction, I just don't sit doom scrolling as plenty of news has said he's having a positive effect especially on food and energy falling in the next 2 months.

 

But as per usual you're always evading what you do for a living almost as though your ashamed!.

Food prices are still rising in the US, doubt they will drop to levels below when he was inaugurated. Energy supplies (particularly Electrical supplies) look to be risky while he is annoying the Canadians.

 

 

As for what I do for a living... as a hint, I am not the President of the US... so I cannot see it's relevance. I'll let you know when I am elected as king of the world though.

 

Edity.

However what I do aligns with my morals and values. Wouldn't it be embarrassing and humiliating though to work in an industry that you fundamentally think is wrong, take the shiny shillings from a ludicrous industry. Not sure I could live with that amount of hypocrisy.

Think you'll find they'll be falling petty swiftly, as things like meat are 12 week plus for poultry.

 

Electric is because of Joe and his wind, which funnily enough is getting cancelled as companies don't want want to put them up.

 

Plus Canada isn't as abundant as you believe, BC hydro maybe short term but they don't have a lot of CANDU capacity in winter.

 

President of something, but chair of the college extinction rebellion outfit probably best not gloating about.
