October 2003 following USA's and UK's Iraq invasion San Francisco professor Stephen Zunes' review of USA's 1983 Grenada invasion: October 2003: This 1983 invasion of Grenada was 'an easy victory for the United States eight years after its defeat in the Vietnam War and just two days after the deadly attack against U.S. forces in Lebanon. It established the precedent for 'regime change' by U.S. military intervention and served as an ominous warning to the leftist Sandinista government in Nicaragua that the Reagan administration could go beyond simply arming a proxy army like the Contras and actually invade their country outright. It also led to a sudden rise in President Reagan's popularity, according to public opinion polls. Despite the fact that the invasion was a clear violation of international law, there was widespread bipartisan support for the invasion, including such Democratic Party leaders as Walter Mondale, who would be Reagan's Democratic challenger for the presidency the following year, Review by Stephen Zunes, an associate professor of politics and chair of the Peace&Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, and serves as the Middle East editor for the 'Foreign Policy in Focus Project'

2021–2022 inflation surge: 2021–2022 inflation surge, after the worldwide increase in inflation began in mid-2021, with many countries seeing their highest inflation rates in decades. It has been attributed to various causes, including pandemic-related economic dislocation and the fiscal and monetary response to it in 2020 and 2021, supply shortages (including chip shortages and energy shortages) amid increasing consumer demand, the effect on global oil prices caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and possible price gouging. Higher gasoline prices were a major contributor to inflation as oil producers saw record profits, and debate arose over whether inflationary pressures were transitory or persistent. Central banks responded by aggressively increasing interest rates. In August 2022 the USA reported an inflation rate of 8.2%, following rates of 1.2% and 4.7% in 2020, 2021.

Countries in the proposed new category include Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen. Turkey, Sudan and Somalia are not included.
16 July 2021 don't call me 'Middle Eastern', immigrant from Lebanon says: 16 July 2021: Don't Call Me 'Middle Eastern', Louay Khraish responds on his first day of high school in the USA after moving from Lebanon, as the administrator asked to fill out a form and identify as either Asian, Black, Hispanic, Native American or White Caucasian. But his answer 'Asian' was rejected and replaced by 'White Caucasian'. After after 9/11 and following wars and more immigrants arriving from Asia and North Africa people of Arab, Armenian, Assyrian, Circassian, Iranian, Kurdish, Syriac and Turkish descent were finding themselves unsure which race box to check. Coming from the original melting pot of the world, they are not accustomed to identifying themselves by skin color. Wanting to include a vast region that stretches from Iran to Morocco and from Armenia to Sudan, West Asia - North Africa (shortly WANA) is the best option. The term 'Middle East' should be rejected once and for all. Calling the affected people West Asian-Americans and North African-Americans, we all should also advocate for the cessation of the use of the word 'White', the crown jewel of systemic racism in America.

In the 1950s early USA space flight and NASA: In the 1950s early USA space flight, as Huntsville city was nicknamed 'The Rocket City' for its close association with space missions. Following Soviet Union's October 1957 first artificial Earth satellite 'Sputnik 1' mission, on 31 January 1958, ABMA placed USA's first satellite Explorer 1, into orbit using a Jupiter-C launch vehicle, a descendant of the Redstone. This brought national attention to Redstone Arsenal and Huntsville, with widespread recognition of this being a major center for high technology. On 1 July 1 1960 4,670 civilian employees, associated buildings and equipment, and 1,840 acres of land, transferred from ABMA to form NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center. During the 1960s, the major mission of MSFC was in developing the Saturn boosters used by NASA in the Apollo Lunar Landing Program. For this, MSFC greatly increased its employees, and many new companies joined the Huntsville industrial community. The Cummings Research Park was developed just north of Redstone Arsenal to partially accommodate this industrial growth, and has now become the second-largest research park of this type in the USA.
Since 2014 NASA's Planetary Missions Program Office: Since 2014 Planetary Missions Program Office, a division of NASA headquartered at the Marshall Space Flight Center. - 2021-2022 'Double Asteroid Redirection Test DART', a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects. It was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through a transfer of momentum by hitting the asteroid head on and attempting to slow it. The asteroid selected for the test poses no actual threat to Earth. The probe was launched from Earth on 24 November 2021, and on 26 September 2022 intentionally crashed into Dimorphos, the minor-planet moon of the asteroid Didymos. On 11 October, NASA declared DART a success, confirming it had shortened Dimorphos' orbital period by about 32 minutes, surpassing the success threshold of 73 seconds.
11 October 2022 DART changed trajectory of asteroid Dimorphos, a watershed moment for planetary defense: 11 de octubre de 2022: El impacto de DART cambió el movimiento de un asteroide en el espacio. 'Todos nosotros tenemos la responsabilidad de proteger nuestro planeta de origen. Al fin y al cabo, es el único que tenemos', dijo el administrador de la NASA, Bill Nelson. 'Esta misión muestra que la NASA se está intentando preparar para cualquier cosa que el universo nos depare. En la NASA hemos demostrado que nos tomamos en serio nuestro papel como defensores del planeta. Este es un momento decisivo para la defensa planetaria y para toda la humanidad, lo que demuestra el compromiso del excepcional equipo de la NASA y sus socios de todo el mundo'. - 12 October 2022: 'DART' successfully changed the trajectory of the asteroid Dimorphos when the NASA spacecraft intentionally slammed into the space rock on September 26, the world’s first conducted on behalf of planetary defense. The mission was also the first time humanity intentionally changed the motion of a celestial object in space. 'All of us have a responsibility to protect our home planet. After all, it’s the only one we have', said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, adding 'NASA has proven we are serious as a defender of the planet. This is a watershed moment for planetary defense and all of humanity, demonstrating commitment from NASA’s exceptional team and partners from around the world'.

2 April 2022 Amazon workers win battle to form first USA union: 2 April 2022: A team of Amazon workers - led by Chris Smalls, champion against inadequate, hazardous safety conditions at the retail giant during covid-19 - has forced the technology giant to recognise a trade union in the USA for the first time as workers at a New York warehouse voted 55% in favour of joining the Amazon Labor Union. Team's victory marks a major defeat for Amazon, which had fiercely fought against unionisation, but in Alabama, where Amazon was facing a separate union drive, the company appeared to have fended off activists in a tight contest in which challenged ballots could yet overturn that result. Together, the two elections mark a milestone for activists, who have long decried labour practices at the country's second largest employer.

History of Salinas city: History of Salinas city, located on land inhabited, settled and owned by Native Americans known as the Esselen prior to 200 AD. Between 200 and 500 AD, they were displaced by the Rumsen group of Ohlone speaking people. The Rumsen-Ohlone remained as the inhabitants of the area for approximately another 1,200 years, and in the 1700s the group of native inhabitants were contacted and recorded to Europe by foreigners, the first Spanish explorers of the Salinas area. Manila galleons may have occasionally ventured up the California coastline and stopped in Monterey Bay between 1602 and 1769. Upon the arrival of the Spanish - formerly themselves colonized by the 'Imperium Romanum', large Spanish land 'grants' were initially issued for the Catholic Missions and also as bonuses to soldiers. Later on after Mexican independence, smaller land grants continued to be issued for ranchos where mostly cattle were grazed. One of the many land grants was the Rancho Las Salinas land grant, part of which included the area of modern-day Salinas. As a result of the many new cattle ranches, a thriving trade eventually developed in cattle hide shipments, shipping primarily out of the Port of Monterey. In 1848 California officially became a part of the USA. This transition followed several years of battles in the Salinas area with John Fremont flying the American flag on the highest peak of the Gabilan Mountains and claiming California for the USA. Before the transition to another foreign administration, Monterey had been the capital of California. For a short while after the transition, California was ruled by 'martial law', originating in Europe.

The first immigrants from Europe, reeling from the effects of the Revolutions of 1848 and with a longer distance to travel, began arriving in late 1849, mostly from France, with some Germans, Italians, and Britons. It is estimated that approximately 90,000 people arrived in California in 1849, about half by land and half by sea. By 1855, it is estimated at least 300,000 gold-seekers, merchants, and other immigrants had arrived in California from around the world. The largest group continued to be USA citizens, but there were tens of thousands each of Mexicans, Chinese, Britons, Australians, French, Latin Americans, together with many smaller groups of miners, such as African Americans, Filipinos, Basques and Turks. People from small villages in the hills near Genova, Italy were among the first to settle permanently in the Sierra Nevada foothills. They brought with them traditional agricultural skills, developed to survive cold winters. A modest number of miners of African ancestry had come from the Southern States, the Caribbean and Brazil. Several hundred Chinese arrived in California in 1849 and 1850, and in 1852 more than 20,000 landed in San Francisco.
Regional and global effects of the 1848-1855 'California Gold Rush': Since 1850s arrival of hundreds of thousands of new people in California within a few years, compared to a population of some 15,000 Europeans and Californios beforehand, had many dramatic effects, including a boom in transportation-goods investment in the USA, USA's population, government, commerce, leading to statehood for California on 9 September 1850, growth of population between 1847 and 1870, as e.g. the population of San Francisco increased from 500 to 150,000, as the Gold Rush wealth and population increase led to significantly improved transportation between California and the East Coast, further including on the one hand the fate of Native Americans (the California genocide and unfree labor in California), and on the other hand a world-wide economic stimulation, and more effects - 1858-1861 Pike's Peak Gold Rush or 'Colorado Gold Rush', the boom in gold prospecting and mining in the Pike's Peak Country of western Kansas and southwestern Nebraska that began in July 1858 and lasted until roughly the creation of the Colorado Territory in February 1861. An estimated 100,000 gold seekers took part in one of the greatest gold rushes in North American history

The first non-Native Americans entered the Shasta Cascade region by coming south along the Siskiyou Trail from Oregon, or north along the Siskiyou Trail from central California or the San Francisco Bay Area. These earliest explorers were probably British and American fur-trappers and traders in the 1820s and 1830s, followed by the 1848-1855 California Gold Rush-era leading to the first non-Native American settlements in the area.

It drains an extensive watershed of almost 41,000 km2 that stretches from the arid country of south-central Oregon to the temperate rainforest of the Pacific coast. The Klamath is the most important North American river south of the Columbia River for anadromous fish migration. Its salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout have adapted to unusually high water temperatures and acidity levels relative to other rivers in the Pacific Northwest. The numerous fish were a major source of food for Native Americans, who have inhabited the basin for at least 7,000 years. - Tributaries of the Klamath River
Klamath River Basin, native Americans in the 21st century: Klamath River Basin native Americans in the 21st century, as th river tribes include the Klamath, Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, and Shasta people.

The Klamath River tribes mission statements include the preservation of their cultural heritage along with their land and the resources it provides. The Klamath River basin tribes are deeply connected and entwined with their land. The Klamath river, the food it provides and the spiritual significance it holds, is centrally situated in the identities of all four tribes that live along the Klamath. - 'Klamath' spoken around Klamath Lake in what is now southern Oregon and northern California, is a member of the Plateau Penutian language family, which is in turn a branch of the proposed Penutian language family, rich in ablaut, much like Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic languages.
