As we prepare ourselves for the Supreme's theocracy, reference to other human sacrifice for "faith."

I'm not crazy about the New York Times "science" reporting, but this article caught my eye:

They Thought the Skulls Were Murder Victims’. They Were Off by Centuries.

Originally thought to be the remnants of gang killings, dozens of skulls found in a cave in southern Mexico are now believed to be from sacrificial killings more than 1,000 years ago.


It's probably behind a fire wall - in spite of my better judgement I subscribe to the NY Times - but an excerpt:

In 2012, the authorities in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas entered a dark cave and confronted a ghastly sight: about 150 skulls sprawled across the ground, all with missing teeth and shattered bits of bone.

The police started an investigation, believing it was a crime scene of migrants killed near the border with Guatemala, where gang violence is commonplace.

Indeed, it was a crime scene. Just not one that occurred recently.

Last week, 10 years after the discovery, the authorities said in a statement that they had determined the skulls were from sacrificial killings between A.D. 900 and 1200.

“We have already learned a lot of information,” Javier Montes de Paz, an archaeologist who analyzed the bones, said in a news conference on April 11. “But it’s also important to note: What were those craniums doing in that cave?”

Researchers at the National Institute of Anthropology and History analyzed marks on the bones and determined that the deaths had happened centuries ago. Such marks would appear only after “a lot, a lot of time” had passed, Mr. Montes de Paz said.

The researchers found that the victims had been beheaded, that most of the bones were from female victims...


I added the bold.

Apparently 5 members of the Supreme Court worship tissue in women's bodies so much that they are willing to sacrifice the women themselves, raped women, poor women, just women, and the reason they are willing to make this sacrifice is because while the 1st Amendment precludes Congress from establishing a state religion, they feel the Supreme Court is allowed to establish a State religion, apparently one not all that distant in its view of women than that practiced in Mexico about 1000 years ago.

In this country, the enemy of the Constitution is the group of illegitimate thugs established on the Supreme Court by the racist, sexist thug Mitch McConnell, who violated the precedent set by none others than John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, when Jefferson and Congress accepted as perfectly legitimate the appointment (by Adams) of the precedent setting great Chief Justice John Marshall at the very end of Adam's term.

The idea that the modern day American Taliban - aka the "Republican" party - loves our country and its constitution is obscenely laughable.

We need to fight, and fight hard.
