Episode 1071 – No, California is NOT Part of Mexico!

The riots continue throughout the country. California has even tried to flex its muscle, but its not working.

A new narrative by rioters and Mexico is coming out. It is that Mexico owns California. These people need to learn a book or just listen to this podcast because we are going to talk about it.

And Greta Thunberg’s little drama has played out and ended. What an embarrassment.

History of California

  • California was home to numerous Native American tribes and bands for an estimated 13,000 to 15,000 years before European arrival. Over 100 distinct groups, such as the Karok, Maidu, Cahuilleno, Mojave, Yokuts, Pomo, Paiute, and Modoc, lived throughout the region.
    • There was no technology.
    • The tribes were small and relatively peaceful.
    • Disease was a problem. Studies have found the populations were declining.
  • The first European explorer to reach California was Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, who explored San Diego Bay. English explorer Francis Drake visited Northern California in 1579. However, these early visits had little immediate impact.
  • Permanent European interest began in the late 18th century. The Spanish established a chain of 21 missions along the California coast, beginning with Mission San Diego de Alcalá in 1769. These missions were intended to convert Native Americans to Christianity and integrate them into Spanish society. Military forts (presidios) and small towns (pueblos) were also built, with some pueblos eventually growing into cities like Los Angeles and San Jose.
  • Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, and California became part of the Mexican Empire. The Mexican government secularized the missions, redistributing lands to Mexican citizens and well-connected immigrants, not to Native Americans.
  • Starting in the 1840s, American settlers began arriving in California via overland routes such as the infamous Donner Party in 1846. Tensions rose between American settlers and the Mexican government.
    • Before you start screaming about colonization, remember:
      • Mexico allowed immigrants in.
      • Mexico alienated the Indians through colonization and land grabs.
    • This caused a rift between the United States and Mexico.
  • Bear Flag Revolt: In June 1846, American settlers in Sonoma declared an independent California Republic, marking the start of the Bear Flag Revolt.
  • Mexican-American War: The United States declared war on Mexico in 1846. After minor skirmishes, California was occupied by U.S. forces. The war ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ceded California and much of the American Southwest to the United States.
  • Then, the United States paid Mexico for the countries after the war:
    • According to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, the United States agreed to pay Mexico $15 million “in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States”—that is, for the land ceded to the U.S., which included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, western parts of New Mexico and Colorado, and a portion of Wyoming.
    • $15 million in 1848 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $607.2 million in 2025, adjusting for inflation.
    • Additionally, the U.S. government assumed responsibility for paying up to $3.25 million in claims that American citizens had against Mexico.

It’s All Theater

According to Fox News:

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel after the country’s naval forces detained her Gaza-bound flotilla, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The ministry said Tuesday that Thunberg was on a flight headed back to Sweden via France. 

“Greta Thunberg just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden (via France),” the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X.

Thunberg and three other activists were transported to Ben Gurion Airport to be deported, while eight others — including a member of the European Parliament — refused to sign deportation paperwork, according to the Times of Israel.

The 22-year-old climate activist reportedly told her attorneys that she could do “more good outside of Israel” and that refusing to leave would “harm” her cause, the Times of Israel reported, citing Adalah, an Israeli organization.

Thunberg famously avoids air travel as part of her climate activism, making this flight out of Israel an anomaly for her.

The Israeli navy intercepted the flotilla, named the Madleen, early on Monday. Thunberg posted a video amid the chaos saying that she had been “kidnapped” by Israel, a comment which drew heavy scrutiny, as some pointed out the plight of the hostages who have been held in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.
