And they filled the whole land with these castles. They sorely burdened the unhappy people of the country with forced labour on the castles; and when the castles were built, they filled them with devils and wicked men.
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, 1137
Introduction: The Three Aims of the SMO Revised
It has now been officially admitted that the three aims of the Allied Special Operation in the Ukraine, the liberation of the Donbass, and the demilitarisation and denazification of the Ukraine, have had to be extended. This is firstly because of the resistance of the Neo-Nazi regime in Kiev to the liberation of the peoples of the Ukraine and secondly because of the support given to that regime by pro-Nazi regimes. Those regimes, known as ‘The Collective West’, are the regimes, representing only 13% of the world population, which have extended the war, both in time and in space.
This change was implicitly confirmed on 28 July by Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary to President Putin, who declared that ‘the whole of the Ukraine needs to be denazified’. This means that most, or even all, of the Ukraine is going to be liberated, not just the Crimea, the two provinces of the Donbass and the surrounding four provinces of Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson and Zaporozhie. These fully- or partly-liberated provinces are being attacked from further away: clearly their liberation will not be complete until those attacks from further away have been stopped, even if that means proceeding right to the Ukrainian border with Poland. (And if NATO countries dared attack the liberated Ukraine from within their borders, then…).
As for the second aim of demilitarisation, which is ongoing in the Ukraine and has reached a high level as a result of the Russian destruction of military hardware and those willing to use it, it too has had to be extended. The extension is necessary because of the military hardware being sent to the Ukraine from the rest of the Collective West, that is, from Non-Russian Europe (just over 50% of European territory) and from the USA. Both have begun sending the Ukraine their weapons for destruction by Russia. However, the third aim, of denazification, both in the Ukraine and, as we explain below, even more in the rest of Non-Russian Europe, is far more complex. Let us explain this through what may at first seem to be rather academic historical considerations concerning English and Western history. Please be patient. There is a point to this.
‘Anglo-Saxons’
Since 1945 Non-Russian Europe has been dominated politically, economically and militarily by one group, commonly known as ‘Anglo-Saxons’, as represented by the flags of the conquering American and British. Here we need a word of explanation, for the term is quite inaccurate. The primary historical use of the term ‘Anglo-Saxon’ is by Latin chroniclers and later academics to denote the civilisation and people of pre-1066/pre-Norman/pre-Conquest/pre-Feudal England. These people themselves did not use that term to denote their language or civilisation. They spoke what they called ‘Englisc’, what is now called by linguists ‘Old English’, and they called themselves ‘Anglecynn’, that is to say, those akin to the Angles/English. The correct historical term for them is the Early English, or sometimes the Old English.
The rest is largely Norman (= Viking) mythology, or rather, anti-English propaganda. For example, the term ‘Anglo-Saxon England’ is very strange – ‘English-ruled England’ (see below) would be accurate. As another example of anti-English propaganda, there is the modern term ‘Anglo-Saxon’ to denote swear words. This purely anti-English term relates to words that were often introduced into English from medieval Dutch. Finally, the correct political term for ‘Anglo-Saxons’, an expression used especially by Non-English, including Americans (e.g. the American term ‘WASP’), would be ‘Amero-Anglians’ – not ‘Anglo-Americans’. This is because since 1940 and the advent of the Amero-Anglian Churchill the UK has been no more than a yapping but cowardly Washington poodle.
As an alternative to the inaccurate ‘Anglo-Saxons’, you could use the acronym US-UK-CA-AUS-NZ, ‘the Five Eyes’, to denote what many would prefer to call the ‘Anglosphere’. This is the equivalent of what Russians call ‘The Russian World’ (Русский мир), which could be translated as ‘The Russosphere’. Curiously, Western propaganda states that the term ‘Anglosphere’ is perfectly acceptable and respectable, but the term ‘The Russian World’, banned in several countries dominated by US-appointed elites, is racist, aggressive and even ‘heretical’!
English-Ruled England
Even the most badly-educated English people – and there are a lot of them, given the appalling contemporary Western educational systems – know one date in history: 1066. This is the date of the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror’ (correctly, ‘the Bastard’) and ongoing occupation by the Norman ‘Establishment’, with its upper-class Franco-Norman, what is now called ‘BBC’, accent. There followed the feudalisation (the feudal system was unknown in England before 1066) and genocide of the English people, those called by pro-Norman/anti-English propagandist historians ‘Anglo-Saxons’. This resulted in the exile of thousands of its people, notably its royal line to Kiev and many of its nobles to Constantinople.
There was English resistance to the jackboot of the feudal Normans, sent with the encouragement of the Pope of Rome from the top of the feudal pyramid, and accompanied by moneylenders from Rouen, Jews, who had previously never lived in England. Resistance was led by such folk-heroes as Hereward in the East of England and Eadric in the West of England. These folk-leaders were attempting to repeat the feat of national defence of King Alfred, the only English ruler ever to be called ‘the Great’. That they failed to repeat his exploit, of defeating the Vikings (Danish pirates) in the ninth century, by defeating the Vikings (Norman pirates) in the eleventh century, is hardly surprising. This is because the last English King, Edmund Ironside, the great-great-great grandson of King Alfred, had already been murdered by Danish Vikings (Danish pirates) in 1016. There were no more English Kings after Edmund in 1016.
Edmund Ironside was succeeded by the Viking leader Knut (Canute) and three foreign successors including the half-Norman, half-Danish traitor Edward ‘the Confessor’, who in 1051 had his Norman agents build the first castle in England, marking the beginning of ‘Castle England’ (see below). The Confessor was followed by Normans, French (Plantagenets), Welsh (Tudors), Scots (Stuarts), Dutch (Orange) and Germans (Hanoverians/Saxe-Coburg-Gotha/ ’Windsor’). These peoples are collectively known to Non-Western Europeans as ‘Franks’. In summary: there has not been an English King or Queen of England for over a thousand years, since 1016. Indeed, at various points the Welsh, the Scots and the Irish have also, like the English, had to put up with these foreign, pseudo-English, monarchs.
Alien-Ruled Europe
So, after this deviation, what is the link with the Ukraine? We speak of all this because the fate of the English is only an example of the fate of all Non-Russian Europeans, that is, to be ruled by ‘pirates’, by foreign or alien elites – just as in today’s Ukraine. The most visible symbol of domination and oppression by alien elites remains the castles which they built to oppress the people. Significantly, from the Atlantic coasts of Portugal and Ireland to the westernmost borders of present-day Ukraine (google a map to see), that is, all over Non-Russian Europe, ‘encastellation’ was the sign of the oppression of the peoples of Europe by pirate elites. Thus Non-Russian Europe can visibly be called ‘Castle Europe’. Castles, even if in ruins today, were and are the stone-walled concentration camps, watchtowers and symbols of the Feudal Western elite, from the eleventh century on.
When that Feudal Age ended, the worst thing that happened to Castle Europe was that it discovered the New World. This was the worst thing because it meant that the same conquering mentality (e.g. the ‘Conquistadors’) was taken unopposed overseas, in order to enslave yet more peoples there, to project onto them the piracy that Castle Europe had to offer. But there was even worse to come. In the twentieth century the richest and most powerful New World colony, just like Castle Europe, genocided its native peoples, whom it called ‘savages’, as if they were wild animals, in order to asset-strip their natural resources. Having sent the survivors to concentration camps, which it called ‘reservations’, guarded by castles, which it called ‘forts’, it came back to invade Castle Europe, dominate it and haunt it.
Thus, all over Castle Europe today, from the towers of medieval castles, as from other Castle Europe buildings, including Castle Europe ‘churches’, which often look like mini-castles, fly Ukrainian flags. Why? Because the US-appointed Castle Europe pirate elites have ordered it, because for them the Ukraine is their private ‘reservation’, that is, their own concentration camp. In other words, Castle Europe is still ruled by an alien and alien-appointed elite, just the same as ever. Its new castles are called ‘bases’ and ‘camps’, e.g. ‘Ramstein Air Base’ in Germany or ‘Camp Bondsteel’ in Kosovo. Same thing. We have gone from Feudal (Norman/Frankish) Europe to Neo-Feudal (American) Europe. And ‘Feudal’ translates into modern language as ‘necon’, ‘neoliberal’ or simply, for Russians especially, ‘Nazi’. This is why we can clearly see that the demilitarisation and denazification of the Ukraine will inevitably lead in time to the demilitarisation and denazification of Non-Russian Europe, that is, of Castle Europe.
Conclusion: Denazification As Political, Economic and Ideological Liberation
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I’m tired of Castles in the Air.
I’ve got a dream I want the world to share,
And castle walls just lead me to despair.
Don McLean, Castles in the Air, 1970
Within the next few weeks and months we may well see Russian troops in Kiev. But will we see them in Berlin, Vienna, Paris (these three for the second time), Rome, Madrid and London (these three for the first time)? It is highly unlikely, and certainly not if the local people do not want it. Russia is not going to sacrifice its soldiers (again) for spoilt Europeans. For it is not the military war that will bring denazification to Castle Europe, but the political, ideological and economic war. That looming disaster, already in these sultry summer days frightening especially Germany and Italy, is perhaps the only thing that can bring Castle Europe to its senses.
In other words, Castle Europe will not be denazified by arms, but by policies, money and ideas. That cannot come, unfortunately, until Castle Europe starts suffering from, and then overthrows, its alien pirate elite. Castle Europe is the Europe which is occupied by ruins, the castles of its ruined mind. Denazification is the opportunity for all the peoples of Castle Europe so stop being imitation Americans and become themselves again, as they were before Neo-Feudal Europe was imported from the New World in the last century. It is the opportunity for Europeans to throw the US Viking-invaders out back across the Ocean and begin the DeMacdonaldisation and DeDisneyisation of Europe.
Even more radically, quite literally radically, denazification is the opportunity for all the peoples of Castle Europe to refind their identity, to return to their ethnic roots from beyond Castle Europe, from beyond rule by alien elites. It is the opportunity for the British to rebecome English, the French to rebecome Gauls, the Spanish to rebecome Mozarabs, the Germans to rebecome Bavarians, Saxons, Swabians and Hessians. This is an indication of the radical future direction of Europe, a return to roots, to freedom, to identity. What has started in Mariupol and Donetsk is eventually to end in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Rome, Madrid and London. That will be the end of the millennial con-trick, the end of Castle Europe and the first day of Freedom.

This might explain the absolute poltergeist level possession of B. Johnson with Ukr.
Personally, I think the pirate world knows that the game is over. They just want to sink as many lives as possible before moving into their AI controlled technocracy, in which human life is totally worthless.
Thank you for this very enjoyable, historical overview.
The British wants to keep Russia divided from the rest of the continent as the splendid isolation on an island isn’t splendid if the continent combined agrees not to trade with the splendor.
This is why the Anglo-Saxons under Norman reign are very keen on installing and arming splitting wedges on the continent.
If there is unity between Russia and the rest of the continent, they aren’t splendid any more and whenever this unity threatens to emerge, Anglo-Saxonia will help along conflicts to re-establish a comfortable, splendid gap through the continent.
You gloss over Batiushka’s exegesis of the phrase “Anglo-Saxon,” to your detriment.
Vidím to úplně stejně, díky za vaši práci.
Translation: I see it exactly the same, thanks for your work.
A change can only be meaningful when it comes from the inside and not the outside. Two thousand years ago there was a teacher who pointed towards freedom, but his followers thought it was good enough to listen and not act upon his truth. Nothing changed since then, not for the west and not for the east. We can only spiral out of this cycle when we go inside ourselves and change from there. I don’t see that happen in the next thousand years.
Just wait six months. Shivering with cold, no bread, a wood fire on every street corner, the European begins to look inward. Fifty euros for one potato! Who’s to blame?
When looking inward, there is no question ‘Who’s to blame?”
Yes this is a really great article but to be honest it’s very optimistic in regard to humans…
I don’t see it happen in the next thousand years either
Yes, way too optimistic.
There is necessarily only one political system, “organized crime.” The only issues are with respect to how out of balance that system becomes. Paradoxically, the more “successful” the excessively triumphant “organized crime,” then the worse the longer term consequences finally become.
When it comes to putting labels or names upon those phenomena, it does not work too well, due to the nature of successful “organized crime” hiding itself under layer after layer. The ruling classes have primarily become “name stealers.” That is, they are not who they say they are, nor are they who they are called by others.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/they-cant-let-him-back
“Our rulers’ wealth and power rise with open borders, trade giveaways, and endless war.”
As I have commented before, the incentives are systematically perverse. Endless wars may be finally lost on the foreign battlefields, but, at home, the ruling classes in “The West” continue to get more wealthy and politically powerful.
Try to participate, and one quickly discovers that, in the words of George Carlin, “The table is tilted, the game is rigged. And, nobody seems to notice, nobody cares.”
I have just started my third court case against the government of Canada regarding the laws controlling the funding of political parties. I won the first, lost the second, and now I hope to win the third: Federal Court T-1481-22.
After almost 40 years of registered political activities, including what will become almost 20 years of court cases against how the long political games are ridiculously rigged, I have no good reasons to be optimistic. Those games are actually getting much more tilted and rigged.
P.S.
By the way, I often find that I often can not connect to The Saker Website, although, it eventually still becomes belatedly possible.
There was some cleaning up during the French Revolution a while ago, but look at where the French are now. Cleaning up must be done on the inside, not the outside. Yes, the outside is important too and it needs to be done. So glad you on to it, for the benefit of all. But it won’t help or just maybe a little to clean up all the mess inside of Canadians. Climbing down the pit a few meters won’t bring enlightenment, for that you must go all the way down and step onto the bottom floor. Stay there for a while to shake off all conditioning and then slowly climb up to a really new world. We won’t see that new world, not in this life. Make the best of it.
I agree. Have patience, “A thousand years is but a blink in the eye of the Lord”
Well said Babylon will fall and the Lord will Reign on Earth.
Babylon fell in 70 AD. Babylon was ancient Jerusalem.
Well then, you didn’t hear the guy from two thousand years ago whom you reference. It is a sin to spread despair.
When your comment is true, you prove my point. When your comment is untrue (did you hear him say exactly that? or do you believe his followers interpretation of his words?), you also prove my point.
The “spoiled Europeans” cannot do anything for their governments. So you must not equate the respective peoples with their governments. I don’t agree with the decisions of my government either and I didn’t vote for these parties. Well, I still have to pay for these decisions. That’s just personal bad luck.
I don’t equate the people with their governments, although they have voted and kept that corrupted ‘democratic’ system alive with participating by voting.
Brilliant and on-point!
I just hope and prey l live long enough to witness it.
Olde Farts still have dreams!
history is a great teacher
whatever greater good always start with an idea.
This is one of the very first tangible ideas brought to peoples attention
see that it does gather more monumentum and more followers
watch it grow
Indeed history is the best teacher , I recall what happened when the US blocked vital resources to Japan … Japan declared war on US
After WW2 with the worlds ecconomys crushed making USA the dominant power Empire,
perhaps the US wants a booster by sending Europe to war again
might blocking vital resources to Europe send them into desperation mode I mean hungary/freezing people would do anything to save themselves would’t they?
I remember when the US brought democracy to Iraq putting the Shites in power an the
Sunni’s out { out of power/resources/money } making them desperate enough to organize into a lawless gang of thieves and murderers with a religious Mask on {Caliphate} {ISIS}
and then channeled into dividing up Iraq and invading another Shite allied nation Syria
that plan you remember was defeated by none other then Putin’sRussia.
Is a potential war with Europe the reason Russia is holding back vast majority of its forces held in reserve as well as the newest tech so not to give EU ability to develope counter measures , after all didn’t Putin say “you ain’t seen nuthing yet”
“Indeed history is the best teacher , I recall what happened when the US blocked vital resources to Japan … Japan declared war on US”
This was planned by the US/UK. They noticed how Japan was modernizing after Meiji Restoration and already predicted Japan would be a force in Asia. So, a plan was hatched in the late 1800’s (Orange Plan) to cripple Japan. It took 40+ years but the plan succeeded. Look at Japan now….a vassal. Forgot about the media lies telling you how rich Japanese are. Savings is not everything. How you live is primary. Their culture, society is done. Gone is the Shogun spirit. The people work, work, work. No family. Men married to dolls, playing video games and kids indoctrinated to worship their destroyer (USA).
History is rarely a great teacher because it is never an accurate documenting of facts, it is the winners writing whatever propaganda most suits their purpose.
History is propaganda written by the winners, nothing more, nothing less.
The evaluation and predictions for 404 and points west seem sound and well-reasoned. I thank the essayist very kindly.
Some may also reason further, that after European, shall we say auto-revolution? Then also, or perhaps overlapping, and similar vectors well begin to create similar manifestations that will denazify the remaining loci – including the North-American loci. I note that many people see the N-A loci as “unstable”, to say it nicely, and also a source of evil as it is presently constituted.
Indeed, the bibigplan of western nazi junta for the breaking up of Russia may be a reflection of their own fear, or deep intuition, that Panarin’s maps may describe…and let us remember Bush41 said: If the American people knew what we have done, they would string us up from the lamp posts” and Esteemed O’boma spoke of “pitchforks”, and Great Patriot the Hillary Lady spoke of “nooses”.
Bush, Obama, Hillary has nothing to fear from the sheeple, only from their own bad consciousness.
If you say so, but even if they have no reason to fear, nevertheless they do fear. Fear comes not from the reality, but from the interaction of character and perception…and if they do not fear, how is it that they express it in the several ways?
Often people, criminals in particular, fear the consequences of their crimes. For good reasons.
The only ones who are afraid of ghosts, are the ones who don’t believe in them.
People grossly underestimate American people. I know I do but the reality of the changing demographic is that white rule at home is dying like it is over the planet. Whites are already a minority in many parts of the US. In my state alone there is a 54% Hispano majority. Add the blacks and the percentage of whites are just what’s left. America, right now, is an apartheid state, ruled by octogenarian whites who will meet their maker in the sweet by and by, one way or the other, soon enough. They are not loved by other races in the US. They are hated.
When the real insurrection comes Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi won’t be at the front door of the cRapitol building passing out noisemakers, event T-shirts and party hats like last time.
Never say never..
Mussolini or Nicolae Ceaușescu
can tell you a story
When the sheeple wakes up in masses the hyenas should be worried
Those three in particular do not have a functioning conscience. Theirs has been seared as with a hot iron.
“Great Patriot the Hillary Lady spoke of “nooses”.”
May she experience them in action firsthand.
As far as denazifing the NA loci, may their demise be swift and just. Let’s see the destruction of the locusts that feed on humankind. The overlords may cordon themselves off, but as one analyst suggested, they have to have air vents in their hidey holes. Let the others be driven out of wholesome enclaves and shunned. May the usurpers be hunted and imprisoned in their ruined barren cities. There’s plenty of then – mouthpieces of Sauron, the enforcers, the lawbreaker-makers. The stupid will perish by their own idiocy.
We can see what is happening to the inhabitants of Ukraine. The NA supply infrastructure is likewise tottering by design. How to proceed? The wiser ones say prepare accordingly.
Strengthen spirit mind and body and fortify the storehouses. Have food water fuel self-defense.
In the meantime, enjoy the day I have been given.
Remember my absolute right to sovereignty.
Good article.
As a german, I have to confess, that the european community first has to hit the wall, especially the so-called germany ! Most people here are so brain-washed over the decades, that they first have to suffer big time and better fries their asses off coming winter. Our bad political elites (which have been voted and voted again by stupid population) have driven the hole economy against the wall. And our worst political failured person were send to european comission to “lead” (western-) europe in its abyss. This stupid believe in CO2, woke-gender-shit and other nonsense has to be erased completlyy out of every brain, until a new start can be sucessful ! And perhaps after this failure happened, we will see our future is more in the eastern hemisphere. We have to get rid of our american rulers, to get souveranty again has to be first goal…
Hahaha yes “this stupid” believe in CO2 and woke-gender-shit. And of course other people are stupid but not me.
Yes as a German I can only agree with you
Just one thing “fries” means fritieren
😁 But I’d they get their asses fried it would be OK for me too if the temperature is high enough 👌
Sure, of course I meant “freeze” their asses off ;-))9
What dismayed me even more about Germany was their disgraceful stance against China and support for the USA during this Pelosi visit to Taiwan.
The English were invaders of Britain, very close to the Franks (Germanic stock) actually – and as well the Vikings.
The original inhabitant were Britons, very close to the Gauls, the Welsh, the Scots and other Celts up to every place called “Galicia”, in current Turkey, Ukraine or Spain.
They had neither feudalism nor slavery – nor even roman machismo (partriarchy).
The deep down popular democracy that kept existing deep below inside western peoples comes from this (Celtic) root.
Yes, reading stacks of Roman history has lead me to think a lot about those Celts. What remains of our democracy origenated with the Celts – with perhaps a few added formal trappings from the Greeks. This is a good point.
I agree Johnny: the Celts do seem to be at the bedrock of these islands. The “matter of (Celtic) Britain” is from where we get the feminine principle at the heart of old England, and the land itself. There is a female element to original British Sovereignty. This Celtic creative magic eventually surfaced inside later Christendom as the Grail legends. So the Celts have long operated as a sort of living British collective unconscious, from within which they influence the “Anglo-Saxon” imagination.
And in back of all of this were the Druids. The Romans were so impressed with the earth centric spiritual culture of the Celts their imperialist nature feared them as a superior example. So thy had to smash them for the sake of Latin empire making. The giveaway here is that of the Celts, a Roman historian, I think it was Tacitus, (maybe some other) wrote that the light of Britain outshines the light of the star gazers of Persia.
Of the Celts Greg Gallowy writes tellingly ” they had neither feudalism nor slavery – nor even roman machismo (partriarchy).
The deep down popular democracy that kept existing deep below inside western peoples comes from this (Celtic) root.”
This Celtic imaginative world, being earth centric, appears to be the direction of coming home from entrapment in the suffocating world of the fascist Norman Castles. A place to which this excellent essay seems to be leading us.. Maybe Robin Hood and his merry band will lead us through whilst whispering tales of the lost grail. That is as long as that crazy Monty Python crew don’t get in the way!!!! Just my whimsey for the day when I read that the world has declared its open move against the dead Castle world. What a day. I bet the Russians would have loved the Celts. Shamans and all.
I always did love the Pink Floyd song “One of these days I am going to cut you into little pieces.” Maybe they meant the Castles.
Robin Hood? It would be better to place your bets on the Scarecrow of Romney Marsh!
To underline the subconscious nature of a land(scape) / indigenous population, as a funny sidenote, in Star Trek Next Generation. mankind is standing trial to Q – an omnipotent Entity being accused of being an unworthy race to be terminated / severly punished for it’s many fold misdeeds. In the first session, the whole Crew then is transferred to a scene from Robin Hood, to test their worthyness….as we see, certain things have very long legs.
Pink Floyd. One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces, was aimed at a BBC personality Jimmy Young. They thought he babbled too much, and ‘cut up’ and looped his voice as a background sound before their concerts.
Oy! We are not any part of that fictional entity “Celts”. We are Britons (i.e. Brythonic) and the Irish and Scots are (mostly) Goidelic. And Anglo-Saxon is typically used in the sense that c*nt Cecil Rhodes used, but as a perjorative.
15,000 years ago Britain was covered in ice. Everyone walked or sailed in later. From someplace else.
Not all of Britain was covered, and it was still attached to Europe. Scotland was under ice though
The Celts only arrived in the British Isles around 1,000 BC. The previous inhabitants were known as the “Beaker People” (from their distinctive pottery) who arrived there around 4,400 BC, supplanting the Neolithic farmers who migrated there after the end of the last ice age.
Good on you for being the one here who knows the truth. The British Isles have seen constant immigration and emigration since recorded time. They have left their mark wherever they went.
Which explains the envy of so many other ethno-cultural groups ;-)
Stuart Lee did a funny bit on the British immigration dynamic…

Everyone knows that The English Are Best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vh-wEXvdW8
FWIW Mr. Swann’s mother was from Turkmenistan, his father from Moscow. People, it seems, are always moving around.
You are correct about the Beaker People but it was roughly 4,400 years ago. Not BC.
@Greg
Yes, I have noticed this even within my own family. My mother was of partly Celtic descent and was a kind and gentle person, whom I loved dearly. My father’s family on the other hand were of Viking descent. They were a miserable lot with never a kind word. However, on my visits to Sweden I felt quite at home :-)
“on my visits to Sweden I felt quite at home :-)”
“Viking” is not the same coming from Norway, Denmark or Sweden.
The Swedish Vikings went East and eventually were part of creating Russia in the 9th century, Kievan Rus. Rus in Russia is the Swedish word Ro, which means “row”. The Swedish Vikings were rowers as much as sailors. And they were traders more than pirates.

https://lennartmogren.substack.com/p/covid-19-why-sweden-is-different
In my view, Sweden is not part of Europe. Going to Europe in my youth meant leaving Sweden. This matters. Being hijacked doesn’t mean that your origine is in any way changed. Pasted over, but not changed.
That’s why in the upcoming elections September 11, there is one party that will introduce the idea of direct democracy as expressed by Moammar Gaddafi :
“it is unthinkable that democracy should mean the electing of only a few representatives to act on behalf of great masses. This is an obsolete structure. Authority must be in the hands of all of the people.”
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260422279_Libya_Birth_or_Death_of_a_New_Democracy
Gaddafi was inspired by Rousseau who wrote:
“T]he moment a people allows itself to be represented, it is no longer free: it no longer exists.”
This political party won’t have but one single idea, namely to perform referendums for the people of Sweden on all important issues and then vote accordingly in Parliament. It’s a first step to overthrowing the neo-con rule of our land.

Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin says Britain has a divided soul: Celtic and Germanic. The former being more “yin”, the latter being more “yang”.
More details I am unable to give you, as my Russian is rather poor. But that’s the main idea in his book on the “soul” of the UK. (From Noomakhia series, “Anglia or Britannia”).
I don’t know anything about the movement of peoples in and through Great Britain down through the ages. However, I lived in England for five years and I’ve spent a little time in both Ireland and Scotland. My impression is that those in the latter two seem related, but those in the former are an altogether different race.
Thank you, Batiushka, for this.
Crypto-feudal oligarchy still do not understand the gravity of situation they brought upon.
It’s good to see our time(s) represented here in the true flow of history across the centuries, for the threads connecting indeed truly run across the span of time described. And this is a signal moment, every bit as important and of consequence as times of open kinetic warfare. The forces are arrayed, the chessboard is pregnant with ominous moves of great import; these, our times, are no longer shrouded in the fog of City of London-Wall Street’s necromancy’s crass commercial consumer spending; the self-imprisoning and debt-perpetuating fiat credit cards are finally overextended and being called out for “What is your actual worth?”
Entire national and existing trade agreements affecting billions are crumbling as the wise nations rush to join BRICS’s now unstoppable momentum. And those in the know know the truth of the matter. The lies and obfuscations that underpin the Western military/currency juggernaut are in the process of having all of their putrid air released, and like a huge lead (Pb) balloon it will come to pass soon enough: “Ashes, ashes, they all fall down…”
To be alive in historic moments like these…. I do hope people will pay attention and as able be participants in influencing individually and collectively these events unfolding that tell the future of the entire human race. These are the stakes, this is a rare moment in which to be alive to chronicle these weighty matters even as they unfold before us.
Agree “To be alive {awoke to the truth} in historic moments like these {rare} absolutely!!
“they filled them with devils and wicked men.”
a history on a castle by Dr. Cantelon:
While in the Alps of Southern Germany, I visited the beautiful palace built by Ludwig of Bavaria. “He was a
genius,” said our guide, with a touch of German pride.
“The fountain that erupts in the reflecting pool in front of the palace is the product of Ludwig’s ingenuity. He captured the mountain stream far back in the hills and brought it down to the reflecting pool to erupt in regular intervals like a giant geyser.”
The genius of Ludwig was equally displayed inside the palace. The dining-room table was prepared for his own self-indulgence. He preferred to eat in total solitude. A touch of a button lowered the table to a room below where the waiters and chefs loaded it with the various dainties of the land. Another touch of the button brought the table back up to the king, who preferred to live in a fantasy world.
“He was a dreamer,” said our guide. “He seemed detached from the people of his land.”
I walked through another castle built by Ludwig. It was called the Neuschwanstein. From room to room I wandered, beholding the beauty, and contemplating the genius of this man who built this castle with the symbol of the swan, which had been the theme of Wagner’s composition. In one room was Wagner’s personal piano, a gift to the king, who had been an admirer of the great composer. And what happiness did
Ludwig derive from all of this? Enough to cause him to take his own life in a lonely mountain lake. In order to build his dream castles, he had taxed the Bavarians so unmercifully that they scarcely had money for food.
In the bright Bavarian sunlight, I could see the Neuschwanstein shining majestically in the green forest and
outlined against the sky. And yonder in the distance, I could see a tiny lake, the last resting-place of a leader who dedicated his life to serving himself, rather than his people.
Yes, and Louis XIV’s hall of mirrors in France. I’d like to see Jeff Bezos’ home castle ;-).
Ludwig God bless him was mad as a June Bug. The only thing that kept him out of an institution from day one was that as a Crown Prince. Therefore he was indulged, until the money ran out. I think of the Davos crowd in the same context.
Yes Neuschwanstein Castle and his parents castle called Hohenschawangau are magical indeed.
In particular there is a strange weather pattern there, where a fog descends suddenly and makes the castle disappear…and then it rains and as if by magic, the castle suddenly appears as if it stands unsupported in the sky in a kind of circular hole in the mist…I have been lucky to observe this event on three separate business trips in the area.
But i have to correct some history: Ludwig basically bankrupted the Bavarian State at the time and he did certainly not take his own life, but was murdered by his doctor on orders of the city council…The irony of history is that all these Bavarian castles are now the top revenue earners for the State of Bavaria.
Interesting too is the fact that not all the rooms were completed. I recall that the Hammerbeam roof of Neuschwanstein castle is a copy of Westminster Hall in London. I pointed out to the management of the castle that it would not be historically inaccurate to allow all the local trades to help finish the remaining rooms, in the tradition of all the beautifully decorated German Town Halls.
“The irony of history is that all these Bavarian castles are now the top revenue earners for the State of Bavaria.”
And the theatre he funded for his anti-jewish protegee Wagner is the chief bread earner of Bayreuth.

In evolution, which is history writ large, good and evil are not so much antagonists as dual aspects of the same process; like Yin & Yang.
Yet another German sleepwalker when he sleeps and walks he is save but when he wakes up he is fatally dangerous for himself. He reminds me neopagan Charles Swab playing the God not able to selfrestrain and the rest of those loonies from Great Reset. God save the humanity. Vainglory and vanity of this kind of people are frightening. This is well known German fehler.
Good article. In the US we shouldn’t be considered one people either. The nation was initially made up arguably 11 to 15 different ethno-religious groups that were (and still are) largely regional. It came to be economically, militarily, and culturally dominated by one of those groups; the Anglo-Saxon, the Puritan from East Anglia, the Yankee, who then went on to try to dominate the world following their “City on a Hill” vision. In some ways the American War of 1861 pitted the same sides that fought in the English Civil War with the same outcome.
Beautifully written, thank you.
I don’t know why you people are fixated on Anglo Saxons …as far as I can remember they were the victims of a conquest and have never thrown that yoke.
Look at the class system that prevails still…even recent arrivals have more status as the average Anglo Saxon.
One of those vising for PM is an Indian!
You really have to forget about labels and concentrate on a criminal “elite” whose goal is to rule us all for their and their families benefit…not the mass of us!
I do agree there is a criminal elite at work that are all but oblivious to race, their bond is power alone. I think the label Anglo-Saxon when used refers to their actions and physical location rather than their actual race in many cases.
Anglo saxons and other labels are just for convenience. It may be largely true but not entirely.
It is an ideology and as you have pointed out even an Indian can have it. So can members of any oppressed group. In fact it is essential to the system to have elites of the oppressed group to do the dirty work as we see in Ukraine.
More accurate would be to call them Nazis and Nazism but then this term has it’s own issues.
Nazis or AshkeNazis?
(((Anglo-Saxons))), (((Nazis))) or (((AshkeNazis))) or (((Americans)))….the parenthesis suggest the underlying spirit.
However, European attitudes are new to me, so I defer to our hosts.
Btw, I pray for Russia to beat the shit out of these (((globalist))) scum.
“You really have to forget about labels and concentrate on a criminal “elite” whose goal is to rule us all”. Thank you for the comment.
I agree with this statement, comment, more than anything the article said, although the article elicited some thoughtful comments. I ask: What have labels and historical and ethnic simplifications to do with our present situation?
Mythologizing the past and having fantasies about the future millennium filled with the death of America will do very little to dismantle the institutional and technocratic on-going onslaught to subject all of us in a good part of the world.
They have to pay their dues for leading Europe into war for centuries, for quite a long time.
They are paying for people like the guy at Titanic who cut empty lifeboats ‘to keep order’ and later threw German sailor into the Sea , but was idolized in the movie Dunkirk. Ordinary people who helped to destroy Continental Civilization , for, what?
It is sad that enslaved nations happen to live close to the source of Evil, has to be named as culprits are. Yes, it is unfair, but this is because we still do not have propper name for international mafia-like group of interbreeding families. The medieval “Warrior caste” as Micheal Hudson briliantly described.
I am sure that many nations under their rule recognises branches of the Caste among themselves and has propper, (derogatory) terms for them.
Any suggestions?
Mind that Caste hides behind public figures, some “elected”, other obfuscated in constelation of secret societies. None of them decided anything, ever. Just pushed agenda. Bankers included.
Amazing analysis. Thank you, sir! Let’s all wish for freedom
There is no freedom or sovereignty for a nation unless they trade in their national currencies. Nations trading in PRIVATE MONEY ($€£) of the Private Financial Empire willingly gave up their monetary sovereignty to fit into the neoliberal globalization, whose goal was to privatize and financialize nation’s assets. The Rulers dreamed of a global empire through their private financial network.
‘Anglo-Saxon’ launched a new form of imperialism through privatization and financialization after 1945 called MONETARY IMPERIALISM. The British Empire didn’t fall, it morphed into what? The Private Financial Empire. Now that this empire is being challenged by rising powers of China and Russia it is contracting to build a core group around its dominating private reserve currencies. These currencies define the private money and empire’s monetary power. China, Russia, and other nations fell or followed its global financial system for the global trade, and were willingly pulled into the Private Financial Empire’s control.
There will be no liberation until nations develop sovereign money and conduct their international trade in their respective national currencies. There is no SOVEREIGNTY without monetary sovereignty. There need to be multiple payment networks in addition to swift for this to succeed. Russia was conducting 80% of its international trade in the US$ even though it had de-dollarized its investment funds to a good extent. Similarly, what % of China’s international trade is in the US$?
Most cross-border payments in Asia are via US$. Example: to do a Thai-Indonesia FX deal it is THB to US$, & US$ to IDR. The sooner this moves to DIRECT THB-IDR transaction, better it will be for our world. Yes, a solution to enable this has been launched and it needs to scale all over the Non-$ sphere. Nations need to get out of their status quo mindset and comfort zones to build stable economies. Until then they will be controlled and negatively impacted by contagion of the Private Financial Empire.
A better way to measure the degree of sovereignty and success of the sovereignty wave is through payment mechanism:
– What % of international trade is conducted in sovereign money?
– What % of China’s and Russia’s trade is conducted in their respective national currencies?
– What % of payments are processed in the Non-swift networks?
All nations be sovereign and trade in sovereign money, serving their populace!
It is not the money, which got privated, it is the coorperation, with rights like a souveran country… this history starts with the east-indian company…. the mess and the greed starts here…
@ Samuiman,
The evil empire got going with the creation of the first private central bank (160X?), and thereby the central-private banking system has been propagated over the world. The OWNERS and empire’s architects intended to capture all kingdoms, convert them to democracies under their control, privatize their money & assets, and financialize them to loot their populace through speculation, inflation and deflation. How did our humanity get fooled and enslaved in debt? When will the humanity do the right thing? What is the right thing to do?
Thank you for an excellent article. Do you see the current chaos in the EU nations as leaving them wide open to being taken over by the Davos crowd via a new virtual currency? Or do you feel they will have the political acumen to both divest themselves of the US collar and the Green agenda to return to being free nation states? I think Italy is well on its way, perhaps Holland may make it, possibly Spain but I fear for the rest.
Why not list any Russian world regions here so Russia can be Chechens, Moscuvites, Novgorodians, Siberians is it not the same? Let these regions also be independent 😊
Everyone in those regions is either русские or россияне and an integral part of the Русский мир.
The Russian Federation is the heir to the Russian Empire, called so for the same reason as any other empire, cobbled together by various violent acts. For some reason, this violent history, is not much different than that of the Spanish, Roman, Turkish, British, etc. empires (someone here knows about the fate of the Adyghe? Not so much different than what other empires did to those that would not bow to the conquerer).
Russia was ruled by a feudal system, not much different from others like it, be it in France, England, Germany, etc.
The overlord, total monarchs reigned over 23 million serfs by the time they were freed from serfdom. What difference to any other empire, feudal system, or absolute monarchy? Nada.
So why pretend Russia in its history was any less violent, land grabbing, people suppressing, and murderous than any other “western” or “eastern” empire ruled by feudal lords and their bosses? Why pretend that it was any better in its drive to possess and suppress than any of the other empires that managed the same?
There is nothing exceptional in Russian history that I can discern, in a spirituality based on a religion that was used mainly to keep the serfs and slaves in line and satisfy them with their abhorrent status (that is why I refer Gorki to any other burgeois writer, because he describes the conditions of those without trying to justify or “beautify” the misery), not questioning the wisdom of their masters and lords.
Till the whole system, one day comes down around the ears of the lords…likely with the help of some not so friends
True. But for any national entity to survive it has to emulate the prevailing ideology. If they didn’t they would easily be run over.
It is an ideology. Call it Nazism or monetary imperialism or whatever.
It needs to be recognized before it can be more easily dealt with.
What about the Adyghe? They were bloodthirsty “Turks” of Georgian ancestry. Force -converted Christians of the oldest Christian nation in the world. Either that or freeloaders “who turned Turk “ for more power and benefits.
Why should we care , when the Moslems/Turks killed and looted so much more ,since 600AD? And you want us to cry about the plight of the Adyghe in one half century? Don’t make me laugh. ‘Their ‘ conversion to Islam, still causes problems all over Europe. Have you heard of the Chechen gangs in Western Europe? Who else would be stupid enough to take them anyway?
Russian Europe was also encastellated, just look at how many кремл there are. And the Rus were vikings. By omitting these two facts, you debase your argument. And you also omit the Danelaw and it’s effect on what became England.
As I understand it, Rus where slavic tribes with an imported Viking king/chief.
The cronicles of Rus mention that it came about as the different tribes became tired of fighting among themselves and could not agree on who would be boss. The solution was to ask some chief on a nordic island if he wanted to relocate and be their king. With less fighting, things progressed.
If one were to decline a diminunative of Batiushka, what would it be? Batty? Pardon my French, Batty, but I never refer to any #$@%& swear words as being Anglo-Saxon. I know nobody who does. Batty is a five-letter word, just like #$@%&. Esole is too, and it is the Anglo-Saxon term for a female donkey. Americans may spell it differently today and call it a four-letter word. Who says that Americans can count?
Vikings did not just conquer Britain and Sicily. They founded Kieven Rus too. As far as alien rule goes, all the Tsars to succeed Empress Elizaveta Petrovna were German. The king of Spain is Bourbon. Pharaoh Tutankhamun has more DNA in common with the British than with the Egyptians. Alien rule happens in blue blood dynasties. Then again Prime Minister Churchill has American ancestors, while President Obama claims Kenyan ancestors. Everybody’s ancestors came from somewhere else. Charlemagne’s empire never included Wales and Scotland. These lands are not Frankish, even if Prince Charles has Frankish ancestry.
Waves of disease from Europeans killed the aboriginal Americans, while smaller waves of disease traveled the opposite direction. This was unintentional on both sides, before the nineteenth century, and it was not intentional genocide. It just happened, like the earlier plagues in Eurasia—the 2nd century Antonine Plague, the 6th century Plague of Justinian (which reached Japan by the 8th century) and the 14th century Black Death. Barbarians took advantage of the Plague of Justinian to settle in the Roman Empire, just as Europeans took advantage of the plagues in the Americas to settle in the New World. Are these Barbarians to blame for the death of the Romans?
For my whole life, men have been running across the southern border. These men have more aboriginal American ancestry than the population already here. There used to be overpopulation in Mexico. Now the migration is due to overpopulation in Central America, yet Mexican fertility and Central American fertility have lately dropped to the replacement rate, so this migration is bound to dry up. The same people who today complain endlessly on television about hordes of military age men invading our country will soon be crying in their beer when this temporary wave of migration dries up and there is nobody to do all the physical, low-paying work that only young men can do.
2021 saw a massive campaign, largely ignored by the Africans, to inject everyone with an experimental medical treatment, that apparently, more than anything else, is an abortifacient, especially when injected in the first trimester. (Who were among the biggest promoters of this abortifacient? German-educated Pope Francis and British-educated Metropolitan Hilarion. How about that!) Consequently, from the first quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022, the birth rate has dropped 10% in Germany, 7% in Sweden, 15% in Switzerland, 10% in the United Kingdom and 23% in Taiwan.
Has the world’s population peaked at eight billion? Is it going down now? African fertility is still above the replacement rate, while most of the rest of the world’s fertility is below replacement, so Africans are bound to migrate away from Africa as a consequence. Is everybody to blame the children of the Africans who refrain from these injections, for settling somewhere else, much the same way that you blame Europeans for not dying from the diseases that killed aboriginal Americans? Why all the blame? Demography happens, and migration happens as a consequence. Everybody’s ancestors came from somewhere else.
Apparently Winston Churchill also has Slavic offspring as it is rumoured that he is the illegitimate child of King Milan Obrenovic of Serbia. Maybe they is why he stripped Yugoslavia away from King Peter I Karadgeordgevic while in exile in London for the Communist Tito. It is no secret there was a blood feud between the Obrenovic and Karadgeordjevic dynasties of Serbia.
“Waves of disease from Europeans killed the aboriginal Americans, while smaller waves of disease traveled the opposite direction”.
The asumption that imported diseases is the main reason for extermination of native population need provable data to support it. It is in great interest of conqueror to diseminate such theories and to bias and fabricate “proofs”. Because of that reality, the checking and crosschecking of available historical records is the must. Links, please.

‘Indian hunter’, a mo…..ter fu….cker called Lord Amherst…….he also fed dogs with Indian meat that’s why they threw themselves at them and devoured them in the blink of an eye…..The infamous ‘Indian Removal Act’…….This is how ‘leading world democracy’ was being born.
Unless we were to discuss only the top echelon ultra elite of this world, using references to genetic and cultural heritage is a bit off the mark in my opinion also.
The fact that jewish influence is indeed notable and of possibly extreme significance I find to be as obvious as that our planet is not flat, beyond that it seems to me that physical characteristics and broad based generalizations suggesting that historical tendencies of particular ethnic/genetically profiled individuals and groups is non productive if one truly wishes to understand the sicknesses of this world.

a brilliant breakthrough article Batiushka >I Thank You (an englishman)
Thanks for this thought provoking piece.
It ties in with Michael Hudson . The Doomsday book was the original balance sheet for William the Conqueror’s Franks/Normans to raise debts at compound interest on those working the land they grabbed using Roman legal structures passed down by way of the Catholic church and the usurers they brought with them to establish feudalism.
No wonder I can’t stand the BBC accent.

A very interesting analysis, Saker. Thank you for the perspective.
Why not call them USUK?
Because they do, totally.
“..we may well see Russian troops in Kiev. But will we see them in Berlin, Vienna, Paris (these three for the second time), Rome, Madrid and London (these three for the first time)? It is highly unlikely, and certainly not if the local people do not want it…it is not the military war that will bring denazification to Castle Europe…”
It cannot go that far…certainly the local people don’t want it. The people of Russia don’t want it either in my opinion. There is some opposition to the presence in Ukraine. Imagine how that would grow if then they have to invade – “liberate” – such capital cities. This “denazification” agenda confuses Western peoples. Then Russia presents to the world a “Wagner Orchestra” (bigger chance that that will be denazified).
The term “denazification” is not even good for Ukraine (independently of who says what). People like Zelensky may feel disdain and dislike towards Russia , but they are certainly not “Nazis.” I listened to Putin’s explanation about Ukraine and Russia (“historical Russia”). Of course, certain Ukrainian political leaders can have their own concept of historical Ukraine without Nazism having anything to do with it. Strong regional dislikes and animosities are nothing new or rare. You tell me/us why they disliked Russian culture that much. One reason is the language itself no doubt. There is no “great Ukraine” if Ukrainian is the second language. There must be other similar obstacles to the fulfillment of their sense of what Ukraine ought to be or could have been. If all of Europe is “Nazi” too, then clearly this “Nazi” conception is wrong from the start. However, the Russian government has not once said or implied that all of Europe needs to be “denazified” (if they have, please quote it).
The invasion needs to be ideological, not physical.
I would very much like it to facilitate and foremost speed up a long overdue deep cleaning of the rank and file, here. Anyway V. V. Putin most certainly would win any Presidency, Chancellory or whatever over here. He very, very certainly would beat any politician here with ease, most of them slumber around 30% approval rate (which as we know can be ‘cured’ to quite a degree, as in Austria for instance, which tells you all you have to know about approval ratings in Europe , save maybe Hungary).
For a Putin it would require hard work to underperform what is sold as ‘Leaders’ here but of course the vassals must rank lower than their master – which already hurts badly in theory and is surreal insanity comedy in practice although with a very evil twist.
They wouldn’t have to stay long, just until the de-nazification is assured to be completed which will take some time when properly done – and it should be properly done for history reasons. Honestly I cannot imagine otherwise – everything is so totally rotten !
Beautiful, Batiushka. Informative, entertaining, provocative, thought goading, and sharply original, as expected. quite an achievement. thank you profusely.
+++++ (your comment).
Thanks to Batiushka for this contribution (in addition to all his previous ones).
On their way out, and down, the Euro pirates will steal and destroy whatever they can, like their ukrop acolytes are doing in the Donbass right now. The Euro pirates trained them, after all. They will have to pay for this. And Russia should not in any way help or free them. Just don’t accommodate them in any way and don’t give them freebies. And do not liberate them. They don’t deserve it.
Do those pirates pay taxes, or maybe they collect um too.
Anglo-Saxon derives from the fact that one particular wave of colonization in Britain’s history involved Angles, Jutes, and Saxons (as well as a whole galaxy of minor tribes). The Anglecynn identity only emerged after the Danes began invading, when they banded together to face an outside threat. “English-ruled England”, if you mean before the Normans, was a very, very brief period. And it wasn’t the Angles at all, it was the West Saxons, the kings of Wessex (West Seax).
The Angles were the principal victims of the Danish invaders, who settled mainly in and around East Anglia. “Anglecynn” is something the Wessex kings came up with. The idea was “we are all Angles now” and what happened to Anglia might happen to all of them if they didn’t unite and fight back. That is how the Angles became associated with English unification. It’s not because they were the primary ethnicity, but because they were a “cause célèbre” of Saxon lords.
There are four dialects spoken in the Old English language; they’re called West Saxon, Kentish, Mercian, and Northumbrian. West Saxon was the language of the Saxons, Kentish was the Jute language, and Mercian and Northumbrian were Anglian languages.
Alfred the Great was one of the Wessex kings. Wessex was the territory of the Western Saxons (West Seax, Wessex … the seax was a knife the Saxons got their name from). His victories over the Danes did not remove them from England, in fact, the Treaty of Alfred and Guthrun established the Danelaw, giving about half of England (East Anglia, mainly) to the Danes. This begins the period of intense Danish colonization. It was a dream of Alfred’s to become emperor of Britain, but he never managed this in his lifetime, although he was acknowledged as king of all the Saxons in Britain. It was Aethelstan who first named himself Imperator Orbis Britanniae (Emperor of the Britannic World), but then he died and his successor lost most of Wessex’s gains. The unification of the Saxons/Angles/Jutes etc took place between 942 and 947, and it didn’t last long. Canute was on the throne by 1016. That is to say, English-ruled England was an accepted reality for only about 70 years of English history, then Danish rule begins, followed about 50 years later by Norman rule.
The author fails to mention that these people (the “Old English”) were not natives, but foreigners who arrived after Roman rule collapsed. Their era was only about 6 centuries, from the mid-5th century to the mid-11th century. They were, themselves, “Danish pirates” in the beginning. They came from southern Denmark (aka Jutland) and Frisia. The Romans had built an extensive line of seaforts, the “Saxon shore” to keep these raiders at bay, but when the Romans left, the Romano-Briton natives invited them in for protection. This did not work out well for the Romano-Britons and they were reduced and assimilated. By the time the Danes arrived, these Saxons and Angles and Jutes and whatnot hadn’t been sea raiders for centuries.
The Britons and Romano-Britons have been left out completely, even though they are the native people of England, and still exist today. They are the Welsh and the Cornish. The “castle overlord” theory is probably stronger in Wales than it is in England, thanks to Edward I’s “Ring of Iron”. How was Edward I missed in an article about “Castle Europe” with a key focus on England? They also figure in Alfred the Great’s story. After about a century of warfare, Wessex conquered the Cornish (native Britons) under Alfred, and reduced them to a vassal state under Saxon rule, at the Battle of Hingston Down.
This author also repeats the mythical “Norman yoke” narrative. There is no doubt Norman rule was harsh in the 11th and 12th centuries, but it certainly didn’t rise to the level of “genocide of the English people” and by the late 13th century, the Normans commanded unusual armies comprised of volunteer English peasants with longbows. This was unheard of in western Europe at the time – most armies were made up of nobles and professional mercenaries, and peasants only rarely went to the field of battle, and never as volunteers.
The conflict with the Danes was brutal. But Canute comes at the tail end of this period, and is not really suitable as a villain of Danish invasion. His rule was quite harsh in his first couple of years as king. But this was not characteristic of the rest of his reign. Starting in 1018, he began to promote natives to earldoms, and included them in his entourage. Danes who were unpopular with the English were banished (eg Thorkell the Tall), and by the end of his reign, all of Canute’s advisors were English except 1 Dane. Canute brought prosperity, was a good supporter of the church, and enjoyed popularity with his English subjects. He is even featured in a popular English folk tale (he proves kings are not all-powerful by commanding the tide to stop).
If wooden forts in the New World count as “castles” then 1051 was certainly not the first castle in England. It was just the first Norman castle. The Romans and the Britons both built stone fortresses and towers (the Saxons would not build anything in stone except chapels). Perhaps that’s why they’ve been left out, because the theory doesn’t work if natives like the Britons built castles even before the Iron Age, and I have the feeling the author is loathe to include the Romans in the “Castle Europe” theory, despite the fact that colonizing with fortresses was what the Romans were all about. The Romans built much more extensive fortifications than the Normans, including Hadrians’ Wall, the Antonine Wall, a line of seaforts, and numerous fortresses and fortified settlements.
That was an excellent read, my thoughts were along this line but not as thorough, I am not gifted in the art of wordsmith.Thank you for sharing.
During WWII, British pilots from Wessex in England who were shot down over German Saxony were able to directly communicate with the German Saxons when they, the pilots, spoke their dialect (Saxon) of English. The Saxons of Germany did not make the Second Germanic Sound Shift which distinguished Low German (Plattdeutsch) from High German. The Saxons of England did not make that sound shift either, hence the commonality. The Saxon conquest of what is now known as England in the British Isles in the 5th century is mirrored in the Viking conquest of Saxon England in the 11th century. Remember, poor Harold had to fight two Viking armies within a matter of days: the Danes and York and then the Normans at Hastings, the Normans being franconized Vikings who had already conquered Sicily. The Vikings ultimately subdued the Saxons. If the imperial designs of the West have their roots in this era, then they are more Norman and Frankish than they are Saxon.
@DW
All the English cities whose names end in “chester”, for example Manchester, Winchester, Lancaster are derived from the Roman “castra” – military camps.
Likewise the English town names ending in “by” are Viking or Danish.
Those ending in “ingham” are Saxon.
Yes! The Brythonic names still exist too, but they’re usually associated with natural features such as rivers or hills, rather than settlements. There are also mixed names … like Lincolnshire. “Lin” from the Brythonic “lindo” meaning a pool and “coln” from the Latin colonia (colony) and “shire” of course is Saxon for a district. “Pool colony district”, but in three different languages.
After last Tehran meeting, Russia joined Iran in demanding US being kicked out of West Asia. Multipolar world cannot exist, with one “pole” claiming every square inch of every continent is her region of national interest.
Multipolar world can only exist when US in kicked out of not only West Asia, but also All Asia, Europe, Africa, Central and South America-Mexico included. Forget about irrelevant islands of England, Australia and New Zealand.
Multipolar world cannot exist with privately owned central banks, owned by Red Shields, Pope, Queen of England, Rockefellers, Warburgs, etc. via Federal Reserve, IMF, World Bank, Central Bank of Russia, etc.
The goal of SMO, or it’s successor-NATO vs. RIC: Russia, Iran, China- must be to create the environment for the birth of multipolar world.
Interesting pirate theory. Nomen omen. There are even US backed and schooled “Pirate” parties across the EU. With their “Internationale” in Brussels. More or less succesful in places like Sweden (original Viking heimat), Berlin, Czech Republic (currently in the goverment). They supplement the Greens.
Of course, in the process of being kicked out of the rest of the world, imperialist will take it’s Zionist, Nazi, isis, etc. brothers with them
It would be nice to balance the article with where the intellectual seeds of advanced civilization were hiding during this same time frame.
May the difference between man and animal define the lens through which both politics and history are best judged, or we are left with the brute’s creed-each against all, and lose the noble thread of insights which all progress ultimately depends upon, which the intellectual brute is blind to.
Charles Murray already did it for us
His book “Human Achievement” is the greatest history book ever.
Unfortunately, Russia is not featuring too much until we reach 19th century literature.
“It would be nice to balance the article with where the intellectual seeds of advanced civilization were hiding during this same time frame.”
The seeds of civilisation and the seeds of empire, rape, pillage and plunder lies within all of us.
The question is which do we activate and which do we deactivate.
The ‘castles and peasants’ mentality, arises with the debt bankers, those who operate as pawnbrokers, with licenses to create bank credit. The wealth of the financial aristocracies is simply the wealth of the people, stolen through usury.
The solutions then are simple. The power of money creation must remain with sovereign nations, interest upon money must be forbidden, and customer collateral, must be monetised as interest-free customer loans. The Titles to the collateral, are only transferred to the sovereign banks, offering profit-free services to the nation, when the customers cannot repay their loans.
What a novel concept! Money created as a national asset, and not as a private, interest-bearing debt!
Our solutions will not arise through swords, they will arise through changes in the bookkeeping systems, operated by the bankers!
And who were these debt bankers, who rode into England, with the Normans???
@ Ric G
Thank you; debt instruments as the privatization of money. With the Federal Reserve, money itself is a debt intrument so it is like nesting dolls of exploitation.
@ Iyy
Regarding Dugin, I have wanted to read his works but am not familiar enough with Russian to do so. It is my hope they are translated soon.
Regarding the article, thank you! I see this, change in the world order / de_Nazification, as an opportunity for the United States as well to free itself as well from the NWO / globalist / Khazarian / Etc,… domination. Referring to this parasite crowd as Anglo-Saxon seems divisive to me, and perhaps an attempt to misdirect.
On those bankers??
As always especially in those times.
From the horse’s mouth. Jewishencyclopaedia.com 1908 unedited.
“In 1066 numerous Jews of Rouen emigrated to England, having been induced to settle there by William the Conqueror, who, while still in Normandy, had always protected them. His son, William Rufus, showed himself no less favorably inclined toward them. On a complaint of the Jews of Rouen to the effect that many of their coreligionists had been forced to embrace Christianity, William Rufus not only allowed the converted to return to their old faith, but himself actually persuaded some of them to do so.”
“William the Conqueror brought them to England because he found that in Normandy they had been good for business; in particular they provided access to the silver of the Rhineland. The Jews of Rouen may also have helped to finance his invasion of England; in return for the chance to work in a country from which they had previously been barred…another reason they found favor with the king. Since Christians were not allowed to be money lenders, some other group of merchants had to be created. Jews become moneylenders by default, as it were, and as a result they were abused and despised in equal measure. (2) These English Jews, originally from Rouen, would be expelled from England. (More than two hundred years later, in 1290, in exchange for funds promised by parliament King Edward I expelled all of the remaining Jews from his kingdom. By then their numbers were approximately 2000.)”

You might mention that while refinding their identity and returning to their ethnic roots, The People ditch the Abrahamic Religion along with the Castles.
What religion might that be?
Ottoman Empire existed only because Britain existed, so how can we blame the Ottomans for what Britain gave them . We are now facing the Ottoman West and even the Turks don’t like it .
What about the tribes before the Romans and the Jutes, Angles, and Saxons, how far do we need to go back to rebecome the native population that existed before a conquest or assimilation, especially in Europe.
If this “Freedom” wins, that means the end of all advancement of technology. No Space Exploration, No Artificial General Intelligence, No Singularity, No Civilization 1.0, etc.
A Russian physicist, Nikolai Kardashev, proposed the Kardashev scale.
Although some people might not like the Powers That Be, if they lose, mankind will lose the chance for becoming a Space-Faring Civilization, for ever.
No loss there. We will never be a space faring civilization anyway. We are tied, biologically, to this earth. We require the gravity that we have or else our bodies do not function properly, especially our circulatory system. Additionally, there is too much radiation on the other side of the Van Allen belts. In a short period of time our eyes and minds would be destroyed, as well as the rest of our bodies. The list goes on and on.
I take your point Roger. But the radiation problems are a function of exposure time as well as intensity and spectrum…thus exploration of Mars may well be a reality, an eventuality, but only with atomic rockets. I doubt that travel beyond Mars will take place for a long time.
These are probably feasible. see> “Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship”
Ruskieboffins and Chineseboffins in combination can probably build far more elegant machine – a modern design that would maintain acceleration throughout the trip…trip time perhaps 2 weeks to Mars and direct surface landing. 500 tons of atomic rocket ship? Probably… The Orion ship fellas were even going to take a bulldozer!
I note Ruski atomic powered jet cruise missile exists and flies. That’s a start…and progress continues.
Exatly ! If a specific ‘profession’ would be suited it’s the Yogis and the Shamans (the Kogi for instance), but they would laugh it off as absolutly superflous….and foolish.
While we fight amongst our national groups, and disputed histories, we will never turn our forensic gaze onto the debt bankers, the true ‘thieves of history’!
John Acton, Theologian. AD1834-1902.
‘The issue which has swept down the centuries, and which will have to be fought sooner or later, is the people versus the banks.’
We may then discover that we are one ‘brotherhood/sisterhood’!
“While we fight amongst our national groups, and disputed histories, we will never turn our forensic gaze onto the debt bankers, the true ‘thieves of history’!”
Yes, you are exactly right.
The ‘thieves of history’ know this, and have played upon this human weakness for centuries.
And that’s why true progress comes at such a great price.
The power structure of the world, today, is not American-centric. The United States is merely the dumb giant of the true power structure. That power is that of banking, finance, and mass media influence.
The Pirates, as you call them, which is an appropriate name for this network as they transition from Venice to Britain as seafaring monopolists, are supranational and not allegiant to any nation-state. The banner under which they operate is that of The British Empire, as evidenced by the political influence flow, finance, education, and chain of orders.
The evolution of the modern power-structure out of the British East India Co and into a modern form of parasitic middlemen, exploiting small nations and indigenous populations, converting their resources and labor into extraordinary profits, is a linear progression of power transition.
Not a power transfer, but a power transition. And, when you look at the United States over the past century, with the total erosion of its productive economy through the implementation of free-trade policy such as NAFTA & GATT, it’s plain to see that the US and its people are enduring the same kinds of Malthusian attacks on its sovereignty and national security, much like Russia.
The United States and its people are the natural allies of Russia. In fact, Lincoln understood this to be true and this is partly why he built the transcontinental railroad, to put the US closer to its natural allies to the east. Also why Tsar Alexander II sent the entire Russian fleet to the US in 1863 to protect the US ports from and America from British intervention in the Civil War (which was a British coup operation). This is still memorialized with a wonderful series of statues in Moscow, today.
The global power structure is not US. The tail doesn’t wag the dog. Never has, never will. The global power structure of supranational oligarchical families who come out of Rome, into Venice, then followed by the British Empire is what we’re fighting. And, it’s also what Russia is fighting to free Ukraine from, today.
the message is there comes a day when you run out of proxies and need to once more enter the fray yourself. So ’tis for Perfide Albion. Six weeks ago, the new head of the British Army warned his soldiers they must prepare “to fight in Europe once again.” Those who wear the little red poppies for Flanders Field have dared a Bridge too Far..
Enter the Breech ye Exalted. Ye know not why ye Die, but Yours is not to ask Why.. Modern castles cannot hold hypersonics at bay, but so what.. and when Afghan women come out to survey and play, and cut up what remains, so what. And if no one is around to wear those little carnations next year, so what
Churchill warned us, when he removed the totems of Gog & Magog from the London Lord Mayor’s Office, so as to protect from the Blitz bombing raids. He said prevent at all costs of direct clash between these two, representative in his view of Anglo-Saxondom and the Russian World.. the effects would be too terrible to contemplate. And here we are, old wives’ tales long forgotten.
@AHH
Winston Churchill was not an Anglo Saxon. His biological father was the future King of Serbia with whom his mother, a Jewess, had a love affair before her marriage to Lord Randolph Churchill, who was sterile as a result of contracting syphilis as a young man.
Ok thanks. But I never said he was AS. I highlighted his bizarre words (and implied beliefs) and actions in response to those beliefs. It was noted to me by several historians of those strange words of his – WC associated Gog and Magog with these two rival camps. I do not know of the truth, but that is immaterial to the strange beliefs of the Anglo Saxons which he represented. For centuries there has been continuity and consistency by the British, of Perfide Albion, regardless of who managed their affairs… all of them are fixated on defeating Russians. This includes generations-long efforts to genocide Russians among elite Americans too, at least since Gilded Age of late 1800s. This is reflected in deep fear- they sense their end will come at Russian hands, given deep guilt – “The Russians are coming!”
The author fails to note that the Anglo-Saxon elite of America(US) lost any dominance it had long ago to the Jew, a process which began in colonial times.
The Jew is indigenous to Russia and the Levant and remains the power behind many thrones, east and west. Its seed is chaos. Its plow is division. Its harvest is war. Its goal is Pax Judaica with itself Master and the rest slaves.
It has guided Hyksos, Viking, English and now American plunderers on raids resulting in centuries of death and destruction. Its insatiable greed is a great intelligence failure.
First Thing First : Eliminate Jew Influence
Excellent analysis and peek into history. But I have to say that I disagree with the author’s conclusion – that all this is leading to the “first day of Freedom” across Europe. Perhaps I am too cynical and short-sighted, but I do not see the powerful “Franks” and their Jewish banker cohorts as going down easily – or even at all. They will merely change the game as these countries begin to fold and collapse. They are “face-changers” and always have been, adjusting to reality, manipulating events until they take on an entirely new “face” – the same as the old “face” – evil posing as “freedom and democracy”.
Thank you Batiushka from Australia. I have a greater understanding of the world and also I appreciate the comments. I thank all who contribute. I have been reading this site for years and always look forward to seeing what’s new each day. Being an elderly retired person with the time to observe the world what a friggin mess the neocon have caused. A big thumps to Mr Putin.
I hope for the best but expect the worst, which would be the endless expansion of war. I wish them luck, but this emerging multipolar movement is fighting against a behemoth with tentacles stretching far and wide that knows no bounds of deception, cruelty and violence to get everything it demands.
You all can get over all of the hatred for white people of European descent, especially Americans. The US ceased to be governed by white-European stock since 1913. Stop the sophomoric thinking that the people you see in Washington DC are in any real power, they are not. They are merely the managers who do what they are told by their owners. If the political system was what it was/is portrayed to be, there would be opposition, but there really isn’t. The direction and trajectory never changes, only the speed. There are pivotal events in US history that have directed were we find ourselves today. The last event was the Covid plandemic. Before that it was 9/11. Both were planned, gamed, and executed by the unseen hand. The “collective west” is really not the people of the west, for their own governments have turned on them in a new type of warfare they have never experienced before. No longer content to use “soft” means, the gloves have come off. At least they {the true rulers} have finally unmasked themselves, and we know who they are now. The capital of the Collective West is Davos, not Washington, London or Brussels. They obey Davos, as does the UN.
The central bankers and the central bankers bank, the Bank of International Settlements based in Switzerland, has controlled many of the North American plus West European governments for a very long time. They deliberately initiate wars, economic crashes, and control the media. Moreover, the vast majority of the corporations are owned by financial conglomerates such as BlackRock or Vanguard. These are in the hands of a small group of people. Numerous writers and researchers such as Professors : Antony C Sutton, Carol Quigley, Guido Preparata and Edward G Griffin amongst others have long ago established what these Central Bankers intent. In the words of Professor Michael Hudson “ Neo- Feudalism “. Nation States, Sovereignty play no part in their long term strategy.
@Brianorou
And the Anglo Saxons get the blame ?
These days they are just the fall guys for the central (((bankers)))
Just like Saudi Arabia gets the blame for nein eleven, when 10,000 gallons of jet fuel miraculously transformed a million tons of steel girders and steel reinforced concrete into micron sized dust in nein seconds.
We the People are about to be turned into debt slaves, where we own nothing and risk being exterminated.
Perhaps the debt bankers lack creativity?

Fascinating article. By chance I had already written and published two articles on fortress mentality I live in Japan. I have studied Japanese history and culture for 40 years.So I have been struck by the similarity between Japanese thinking and that of the American Empire. One of my other specialties is military strategy. My first article starts looking at Japanese castles and moves on to the American mentality. https://julianmacfarlane.medium.com/a-japanese-view-of-fortress-america-6a1d679226a7 My second article develops this concept further with more specific references to strategy, Europe and the Ukraine. Here: https://julianmacfarlane.medium.com/a-japanese-view-of-fortress-america-6a1d679226a7 HIstorical context as indicated in this article is very good but what one needs to do is look beyond that to how the historical-cultural mentality can create self-destructive strategies. As in what I call the UAF’s “Maginot Grid”.

Here in Japan where I live, the confrontation with Taiwan is all to real. The issue here is really a insular and colonialist mentality that the Amercans inherited from the British. Exceptation is a mutation of British insularity and colonialism. For Amnericans, North America is one big island which all belongs to them. This is also similar to the Japanese, who like the US have faced any real threat from abroad since the very beginning. The US expanded in through the continent building bases first and fortresses. The Japanese in the Meiji period of Empire did something similar in the South China Sea, Hokkaido, and then China. The US began buiding its presence in the Pacific with its conqauest of the Phiippines and Hawai. At the end of WWII, it established bases througout the region, not because they had any real military value but to dominate its vassal states.

These articles complement the recent article on Castle Europe on the Saker.
Excellent roundup of the use of castles to subjugate the local population. The Welsh are Celts, have never acknowledged English dominance, retain their own language and culture, and even today refer to the upper-class English as ‘The Old Enemy’. Just watch any Wales versus England rugby match to see these passions at play. The Welsh were so effective at guerrilla warfare that the Normans and Edward 1st built over 600 castles to try (unsuccessfully) to subdue them. The Romans had the same problems with the Welsh before them. There are more castles in Wales than anywhere on the planet.
In spite of them all, we are still here.
Cymru Am Byth
All true. Yet, most Welsh are now Anglicised. Few speak Welsh , or still have Welsh customs or religion ie religion is mainly English (Protestant ). Not Roman Catholic, and certainly not Gaelic Christianity anymore.
I doubt most Welsh want anything to change, even if they become independent of Great Britain . It will be English language in the main , and same old institutions. You can’t build a nation without a language , which is why the Jews instituted mandatory Hebrew in their Israeli schools as soon as possible after 1948, as did the Indians with Hindi etc.
This is a fascinating article but it misses the point of what happened to the Christian communion over this period. The first blow was the schism between Constantinople and Rome at the beginning of the second millennium. A truly tragic outcome. But Europe in the west still retained its Catholicism – London in the early 16th century was particularly renowned for its flourishing faith. Then the scourge of the Protestant Reformation tore Europe apart. Henry VIII made a land grab and stole all the monastic lands, buildings, churches etc and enriched himself and his nobles and created his Church of England. This totally tore England apart. The people loved their religion. The puritans took it away. Read Cobbett’s “History of the Protestant Reformation” to understand the butchery that occurred. These European Protestant pirates flew to the New World and continued their ravenous plunder and genocide, aided and abetted later by their fellow European Ashkenazi zionists.
Now there is an antipope on the see of Peter and the antichrist awaits in the wings. The Christian body of the Church must once again undergo a crucifixion as her Master and Saviour did. This is all foretold, and is unfolding. In the end the antichrist will be defeated and so will the forces supporting him; and they, including the Jews will convert.
Really? Where was it foretold?
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church and in the Marian apparition at La Salette in France, plus part of the Third Secret of Fatima not revealed by the Vatican, plus St Paul prophecies the great Apostasy.
That Europe is dominated by people living in America is true. But that is about the only thing that I would agree with in this article.
First of all, only part of those people living in America trace their ancestry back to the UK. Actually a larger part of them has recent family roots in the so called Russosphere (the Russian occupied Poland, Ukraine, Belorussia and parts of Russia proper).
The second aspect that I disagree with is that Non-Russian Europe has been conquered by the US after WWII. There is a large part of central/eastern Europe (from the baltic countries down to Bulgaria and Northern Macedonia) which has been taken over after the collapse of the previous incarnation of the Russian Empire (which was run under the label Soviet Union). Why did those countries all choose to be dominated by the pirates from the West? Because the Russians had ruled there in exactly the same way in which the US-centered pirates had been ruling their part of Europe: They had installed elites who were willing to sell out their countries for their private benefits. The Russians did not allow the growth of independent elites in Hungary, Poland or Romania, who would consider themselves the true “residual claimants” of their respective countries. Instead, they installed people who accepted that the true residual claimant was Moscow. And when Moscow collapsed these traitor elites had to look for a new protector who was willing to protect them from their own populations in exchange for the final control over their countries.
Not only has the takeover of central/eastern Europe west of Russia been so easy for the US-based imperial leaders of the West been so easy because Russia had already destroyed any semblance of an independent local elite in the previous half century, but Russia is also co-responsible for the destruction of an independent western Europe after WWII. The US-based elites could never have achieved the subjugation of the West if the alternative had not been subjugation by an equally evil eastern empire. Western Europe does not have the natural ressources on which modern economies are based (oil, gas and all kinds of metals) and the US and Russia did not allow Europe to dominate Africa or Asia anymore. So Europeans will always be forced to choose between going with the US or with Russia. And neither side will allow a truly independent Europe. Both will offer our elites deals of the kind “we want a cut from whatever you can extract from your people; in exchange we will protect you in your exploitation endeavours; and if I need people as soldiers in a fight with another power, then you have to provide them”.
Finally, I repeat again: Many of the people who run the imperial racket in the West, actually originate from families who migrated to the US from the Russosphere right before the US started to give up on its isolationist tendencies and to develop its imperial aspirations. Why it should be important that England has been dominated by families/elites who originated from the surrounding and ethnically very closely related continental areas, is beyond me. Russia is an east-slavic nation whose leading families have ruled for centuries over Ukrainians, Poles, Balts, Tatars, Georgians, Armenians etc. What is the difference between the elites of the slavic people on the eastern banks of the Dnjepr ruling over the slavic people on the western banks of the river and a dutch, german or danish king (the Netherlands, northwestern Germany and Denmark being the places from where the Angles, Saxons and Jutes originated) sitting on the English throne?
None of the vague insinuations in this article have any real explanatory power. Yes Europe is under the yoke of US-based elites. Yes those elites are evil. Yes, in the current conflict the re-emerging Russian Empire has the law and the right on its side. But let’s not pretend that this is a struggle between the “good and freedom loving Russians” and the “evil pirates from the West”. Europe will be dominated by traitor elites both when the evil Western Empire emerges as victor from this struggle and when the Russian Empire comes out victorious (which seems far more likely at this point). The only thing that will change is the overlords to which these traitor elites will report and look for protection in exchange for a cut of the ressources that they extract from their peoples. Maybe the Russian Empire would go soft on Europe for a while until it feels sufficiently in control of all levers of (soft and other) power. The US-led empire has done the same after WWII. But as soon as its opponent in the East was gone, they started to grab whatever they could, because they knew that they could do so without consequences.
The only thing Europe can do to remain halfway free and independent is to make sure that neither the eastern nor the western empire ever again become the sole superpower. Europe should trie to do everything in its power to make sure that Russia and the US remain rivals and each one tries to woo the Europeans for their support. Uniting into a European Union is a very bad idea because that means that the situation becomes very easily unstable when the entire western part of the continent can shift uniformly from supporting the west to the east or vice versa. Let’s remain independent nations who are rich second-class powers who accept the fact that Russia and the US are the big dogs, but who are powerful enough so that the two big dogs fear the fact that one of these nations might be driven into the arms of the other big dog.
The feudal pirates were usurped by money lenders.

Kipling said it best
The Beginnings
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.
Please expand upon this claim that pre-Norman ruling classes from Britain are linked to Kiev…
Where did you learn this “checkmate”? Surely he didn’t move this peon – congrats. The critique against the castles, that is, against the Greek and Roman columns, the pyramids, Stonehenge, the Coliseum, Paris and Rome cities (for what we’d go there for), and maybe Columbus, Pizarro and Magallanes, and the King and the Queen too, also deserves its checkmate.
KiIev was a city of some 100, 000 people in the 10th century while London was a village of 15,000. The Kievan royalty were literate, both men and women. They ate with knives and forks, while Londoners ate with their hands. Kievan Princesses were married off to Norse and Danes kings. Elisiv of Kiev was a Princess of Kiev and Queen Consort of King Harald III of Norway. … Elisiv of Kiev.jpg … Ingegerd, Queen of Denmark and Sweden
Piracy and pirates are the best terms to describe our ruling elite i think. Centuries ago “the elite” got rich by opium trade. Drugdealers… Famous names there… Others put their money in piracy and got a letter of marque. Also very interesting names. Now they are known as bankers and industrialists. Some names were both pirates and drugdealers. We even had a free harbour on an island with it’s own laws separated from Sweden. Our king got this brilliant idea to protect the lucrative business for privateers and pirates and their financiers.
Later the same elite saw their chance to earn money with export to nazi Germany under the guise of neutrality.
Then we abandondened neutrality for solidarity. We are in solidarity with Ukraine. And now the elite send weapons. The same old pirates and drugdealers…
And our national history is rewritten and edited beyond recognition.
Europe (US, UK, EUR+) just needs do one critical thing:
Given the palpable hatred (at best indifference!) of the actual governors of the world – the oligarchies in each country that remain largely out of public view, it is now critical that we have the names (addresses; full doxxing, etc.) of the ~invisible people in the layer(s) above the DAVOS/WEF/Bilderberg folk.
With these (sample) patterning considerations in mind:
— Who owns the actual shares in the BIS, FED, BOE, ECB – the top level of the bankster brotherhood?
— Who have the access to (and the funds to pay) the mercenaries that carry out things like assassinating dissenters, starting fires in the food production facilities, etc. in the USA?
— who had the authority to transmit the orders to proceed with engineering the covid hoax to the oligarchies of the countries around the world – and have instant compliance?
— People like Bill Gates, Ray Dalio and other conspicuous, noisy regulars from the WEF are like the politicians in national capitals – but at a level higher than the typical employee-clowns in our parliamentary/CONgre$$ional/ Executive, etc. demockracy shows (owned and run by the oligarchies that dictate the actions of visible governments and bend elections, etc.) – and I think it’s time people saw and confronted the real monsters running the shows – around the world — but we’re not seeing this yet.
Sri Lanka has just selected a president who is a WEF member?! This is not going to help their situation!
A f t e r this issue is addressed and civilians understand the need to arm themselves to military+ parity better-quality discussions can be had about future governmental forms.
Your timeline is a bit off. In the US, the Trail of Tears took place in the 1850s. In other words, the genocide of the native people mostly took place in the 19th century.
My grandparents came here from Greece and Serbia post WW1. Do I go back to my greco-slavic roots ot stay here?
Also, I disagree that it is 100% a US problem. We are not the only ones taken over by the WEF/Davos crowd.
Imo, this is a war by the elite psychopaths on the normal people.

There’s not much talk of expanding the “anglosphere” and debating which countries should belong to it, whereas Russian World has evolved into a political ideology, something promoted by Putin and its state controlled church. Eastern Europe got a nice taste of the Russian political system and clearly it was not better for the local population than the current situation, obviously Russians benefited because Russian was the common language and the state gave out land / living space for those that moved. Funny enough Russia did see itself as an “occupier” and wasn’t even sorry.
This was a nicely laid out journey through time. Thank you very much!
For the German view it’s a bit narrow to say “the Germans to rebecome Bavarians, Saxons, Swabians and Hessians”. I was born in Preußen and have Saxon ancestry just 3-4 generations behind.
I do not believe that the Bund & Bundesrepublik Deutschland nowadays owns anything else than Berlin and Franz-Josef-Land (Antarctica) due to the public international law opening in 1990, due after 45 years of occupation. But they still claim to own it. The indigene people of Germany do not know better, because of the fucked-up school system, either.
In my view it would resemble a miracle if the Germans all suddenly woke up!
Here is roughly what they tell in Germany about the Angeln und (Alt-)Sachsen:
Angeln and Sachsen were peoples living near nowadays Denmark and along the German north coast. The Angeln moved down to Thüringen, where they formed the Thuringian kingdom. Here in Hesse, there still are some regional dialects that have stunning similarities to English (he, she instead of er, sie; have, has instead of hat, hatten; (g)said (as a – i or like in English) instead of gesagt). If you hear these folks speak, it sounds more like Enlish than like German and is a reminder of the common Altsächsische (Old Saxon) root of both languages.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelsachsen#/media/Datei%3ACentral_Europe_End_5th_Century_German.jpg
The Angeln and Saxons also moved to the British islands. Saxons attacked the Roman-held coast several times and it is assumed they were taken under Roman service as military leaders – or were at least there as soldiers under Roman command.
It is further assimed as likely that – after the collapse of Roman reign in Britain – the Roman-Celtic civilian population recruited Angeln and Sachsen as defenders against assaults from Pikten and Skoten.
Later on, these defenders invited more and more of their kin, but also Friesen and presumeably in the last time of the migration, some Nieder-Franken neighbours, too. The Roman-Celtic inhabitants were seen as “Welsch“ (Roman foreigners -“low-life” up to these days in Germany) which presumably gave name to the Welsh in Wales.
The Christian Romano-Celts in turn called the non-Christian Angel(n und) Sachsen Barbarian as the former defenders took over power and land.
Romano-Celts either assimilated, evased (to other parts of Britain and to Britanny in France), were enslaved or got killed.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Britain_peoples_circa_600_de.svg
The Wikings later on conquered the Danelag. The Angelsachsen managed to expell them and hold their territory, but they were weakened by this struggle.
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelsachsen#/media/Datei%3AEngland_878_de.svg
In the end, the Normans took over the regions the Englisch had conquered.

Excellent review. Often when I read about ‘Anglo-Saxon’ aggression, or Anglo-American, I think this is an unfair characterization due to the Norman Conquest. There is no doubt in my mind that this “Viking pirate” heritage is still dominant in Britain. It is also pretty obvious that the Norman English enslaved Irish and Scots, and I wonder how strongly elite resentment still exists there, not to speak of the English themselves.
I have never considered European elites in the same vein, but thank you for letting me think about this in this way. It is clear that most or all the high rulers are indeed foreign to their constituency, which perhaps explains how eager Europe is to destroy itself in the name of fighting Russia.
lol. As a watcher born from the far East (guess where) who now resides in America, this is children’s history. Very interesting article, and I have long admired King Alfred the Great, but alas he was also a Saxon, part of those same germanic tribes that, if I remember correctly inhabited near the jutland peninsula. They are all a bunch of warmongering illiterate tribes, scratching a living off each other. Not to deny that the UK has a long and fascinating history, I’ve always wanted to visit so I may dine in Marco Pierre White’s restaurants, my favorite TV chef, but alas the history of Tofu is more lengthy and interesting than all of Alfred the Great’s battles, and all of the history of Christianity in these parts of the world. Of course, I am guilty of sino-centrism, and I try to balance this with my thorough enjoyment of rare prime rib, with extra mash and fries.
I think it a bit much to go all anti European because of the current difficulties.
This whole coverage of castles is inaccurate. The big, imposing ones in Europe were never built or used to keep down the peasants. They coincide with the shift in warfare from mainly ground troops to armies made up mainly of horse warriors, the knight. Because a cavalry can show up so quickly it became necessary to have a defensive structure that would delay combat. And once the thing was built, it became useful to defend against a siege. Read a little history and it is apparent that is how they were used, to defend against an opposing army, not the local peasants. Peasant revolts were rare and close to never successful. No need for a massive stone structure to keep out the guys with pitchforks.
Yes, it’s value was due to military concerns and the need to protect against the land-grabbing nobility, often time their own kin; the castles became obsolete once gunpowder was created, i.e. siege guns
Only 1 comment below on Venice, the key issue.
Venice basically owned Mt. Athos, the key Eastern Orthodox Monastery, lately used by Britain’s Prince Philip.
This same Prince founded the Alliance of Religion and Conservation. Venice, the Second Rome, the founder of the City of London Corporation, the financial center of the World.
Anyone here ever hear of the Hesychasts, a feudal cult? Should such a crowd lecture the “West” ?
@ bonbon
Hesychasts, a feudal cult?
Since creation is really only a reflection of the Divine bonbon here is the possible scientific explanation:
Bioluminescence is the natural emission of light by living organisms. This light is produced as a result of a chemical reaction that takes place in the cells of bioluminescent organisms. In most instances, reactions involving the pigment luciferin, the enzyme luciferase, and oxygen are responsible for the emission of light. Some organisms have specialized glands or organs called photophores that produce light. Photophores house light-generating chemicals or sometimes bacteria that emit light. A number of organisms are capable of bioluminescence including some types of fungi, marine animals, some insects, and a few bacteria. study the cuttlefish.

In any case what God calls His glory the Hesychasts had an argument over “created light” and “essence light?”
hope it helps bonbon
Excellent! This is, essentially, the worldview my father delivered as a self-educated working class intellectual.
The term anglo-saxon has been used as a cultural label by the concerned parties no matter what kind of ethnical components would apply. It complicates unnecessarily to go beyond that. Cecil Rhodes may be seen as a defining source for what their aims are and predicted the fulfillment of a world populated mainly by them by 2100
Excellent essay.
Looking at the broad scope of it as you are doing, most of western Europe’s story is the relentless effort of Rome to re-establish itself. From the Lombard Kings to the Saxe Coburg-Gotha- Rockefeller, &c. It’s the obsession with uniting the land under one rule. Russia also playe this game with the pretense that Moskva follows Byzantium as the rightful Imperial center of Europe. As Philip K Dick pointed out, “Rome never ended.”
