Svalbard Party -- Party On !

Svalbard is now demilitarized and administered by Norway. 

The Treaty of Svalbard prohibits all military activity in regional ports and across the territory.

But the Hawaiian Kingdom had treaties of neutrality amongst world powers -- yet the USA invaded (1893) and annexed the nation anyway. 

US annexation triggered significant land & resource theft, and construction of huge military bases as at Pearl Harbor—which attracted attack not long after. 

How cohesive & communicative is the small population of Longyearbyen? Long dark periods can benefit from more parties!  Svalbard Party. Rock On!

The Key Weakness of Modern America is that slavery is taught as the history of Black people rather than as the cruel and dark narrative of our wealthiest & most powerful white folk.
