To think that this would have almost made Alta California (which is also quite geographically diverse) even weirder if Baja had been a part of the California Republic back in the day.

What if I told you that mapmakers mistakenly believed this peninsula was a massive, floating island for over a hundred years—and that thanks to plate tectonics, it's will eventually become one? Or that the United States came incredibly close to annexing this entire territory, completely changing the modern map of North America? Welcome to the Baja California Peninsula. From a sea famously dubbed the 'Aquarium of the World' to a desert filled with bizarre, Dr. Seuss-like trees.

That America almost conquered. Nothing was stolen. You cannot steal land. It's a massive chunk of the world. It's quite obvious to everyone in the world who controls land. Stealing is something that is kept secret.

We need to figure out a way to pump sea water from the gulf of California to new Mexico. Create a large spiral river there to evaporate roughly the flow of the Mississippi River.

There is NOT such a thing called Baja the name is Baja California and is devided in the north and south after the US took more than a halve of this state. You dont call half names to a state. New York is not York .....

Ah yes. The Spanish introducing sickness. Not the Portuguese, not the colonizers of the north, the Spanish. They were probably actively infiltrating the US to spread smallpox among the northern indian tribes. They also brought the spanish flu, so it is clear, they should be exclusively mentioned so the blame is rightly only to them.

The demographic factor is soooo true. I’m Baja born and raised and saw like three waves of peoples populating and changing the landscape in a span of only 30 years.

Beautiful place I have the fortune to call home. 🌅

My mom's side of the family has been a big part of Cabo/San Jose del Cabo for a long, long time. I think one of her cousin's been a mayor or governor of Cabo but i cant remember atm which one she is lol. But yeah, she told me stories of when she was a teen in the 70s & how suddenly her home town went from a sleepy farming space to a bustling metropolis by the time I was born, even the brick house where my grandpa/her father was born is now a protected historical buliding/restaurant haha.
My dad would also take me & my sisters on 2-4 day long drives from Tijuana to Cabo every summer as children because hes scared of airplanes, but the view of the desert changing into a lush jungle was always amazing, and even the desert itself was so full of wonderful sights & pockets of life. Of course, we would also cross the devil's spine road/trail, where i still remember seeing rusted cars & broken railings every few minutes, but i wonder if they ever made a safer detour thru the mountain side.

Just to clarified a little Alta California when it belonged to Mexico used to be what now is,California ,Arizona,Nevada,Utah,New Mexico and Colorado ,west of the Mississippi was all Mexico land and the threat to steal more Mexican land was still there in the 1960’s

The Baja Peninsula is the direct result of the Flood! Looking at it on Google Earth, you can EASILY see the "wasting-away" of the
previously-elevated Mountain West Area by ENORMOUS, miles-high floodwaters racing southward off the continent. LOOK AT IT!

Google any - and ALL Mountain West States - (Utah?) of the U.S. and Mexico; add the word "landscape" and sort by "Images!"

The compass orientation of the mountains in this area is almost-perfectly N-S, from Nevada in the west, across to central Utah
in the East!. As you look northward from Mexico, up towards Canada - ACROSS "the section" of these mountains - you can literally
see a straight-line running N from Las Vegas, up through Twin Falls, ID. The valleys of the mountains act like "trenches,"
allowing the high Flood-waters from Canada to drain-off the western half of the Continent by means of the Sea of Cortez."
The mouth of the exit point is Cabo San Lucas, MEX on one bank, and Sinaloa, MEX on the other bank. Then it PLUNGES into the ocean depths.

Each of these "N-S" mountain valleys have a HIGH side and a LOW side.The HIGH side has a relatively deep "ditch" as the waters
raced at the foot of the "mountain." The ditch can be as much as 100ft deep, exposing large rocks as the soil at the foot of each mountain was washed away with great speed southward for a year. The LOW side of each mountain has no ditch! The low
point of The Great Basin is - eventually - the path of the Colorado River.

I plan on traveling to "the sources" of the Mississippi, the Missouri, the Green, the Platte, and the Snake Rivers this August as
I visit family in UT. Maybe I'll catch the Colorado on my way back east to Tennessee. I plan to publish all of this sometime this
winter - with photographs - to dispel once and for all, the "modern" fabricated geological ages of the earth!

For context, this continent - having separated from western Europe, as did South America from Africa - has three western
drain points; In the Northwest, you have the Tullula Gap - washing west towards Portland and into the NEW Pacific Basin.
Next, you have the balance of the floodwaters coursing strongly to the South. The Sierra Nevadas were "breached" at the
Los Angeles Basin. This "balance" of the Floodwaters drained down into Baja, Sonora, and Chihuahua. ANYBODY can SEE
that the formation of the Sea of Cortez was unnatural.

The Flood was begun by the volcanic activity in the Ring of Fire - which incised and collapsed the entire land-form of what is
now the Pacific Ocean." Underground pressure caused "the waters under the earth" to erupt at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, thus
creating the new "continents" as they appear today. The LAND of the Earth was MADE for mankind in His image and
likeness! God NEVER intended on settling for a "gigantic fish-bowl" for Himself! LIFE has remained UNDISCOVERED throughout
the travels of the scans of the solar system and beyond by our rockets. But we DID find that the larger moons in the local
solar system have UNDERGROUND oceans - just like Earth!

Google "Topographic map of the oceans"
