When to fight? Only to protect one’s folk and land.

If it’s not for those reasons … just say no.

Note: What follows is from Pagan Revivalism Telegram channel. I have edited it to avoid enflaming the sensibilities of some readers. It should apply to Christians as well as followers of The Old Ways.

Though some may be called to be a warrior, you don’t have to join a force that is against you. Firstly, this fight is not our fight. Why leave to fight someone else’s war? This fight is between Iran and Israel, and we should not be involved. If the Israelis are too weak/cowardly to fight their war, that’s on them, not us. Millennials faced the same issue in Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting Israel’s wars for them and many coming back, traumatized, disabled and ending up losing the conflict. Say NO to GWOT 2.0!

More importantly though:
A. The fight is here at home. Some Christian and Catholic churches and Western governments imported invaders into our lands, why leave your family and friends defenseless to fight for sand-people over a pile of sand? The answer is to thin our folk of warriors, like you, so they can destroy our race with no resistance through faux conflicts overseas.
B. Why join an organization that hates you for being European or of European descent, and now hates you more for following the Gods of our Ancestors or your Christian God?
C. Why join an organization who’s mission, according to whistle-blowers, is to push for nuclear annihilation, to kill all life on Earth?
D. This conflict was pushed by the same administration which, in part, covered-up the Epstein scandal, lest their Israeli masters & powerful friends get implicated and exposed.
E. This unnecessary war is a waste of blood and money. If there are no volunteers, there’s no fight meaning no unnecessary loss of your life, and also the US is, as of now, over $39 trillion in debt with a dying economy. As the war continues, the worse our economic future, so be the solution by saying NO!

Being a warrior, defending one’s kin & land, is demanded of us by the Gods. If a fight is not defending or expanding one’s kin or one’s land it is not a fight that’s honored. Sometimes Germanics would serve as foreign mercenaries, particularly the Byzantine Varangian guard. There was a law, the Västergötlagen of Sweden, which stated that anyone who did so was cut-off from their ancestral inheritance. The ancestors, though originally not opposed to being a mercenary, later on were and for good reason. We should train, but not fight on behalf of our self-admitted enemy. What does Odin/Wotan say: “To his friend a man should bear him as friend, and gift for gift bestow, laughter for laughter let him exchange, but repay treachery with treachery. To his friend a man should bear him as friend, to him and a friend of his; but let him beware that he be not the friend of one who is friend to his foe.”

During this time, just like the Covid-era prior, we have to learn to say no. If you wish to be a warrior, train amongst your tribe, not on behalf of an enemy that hates you and wishes us to die. If things change in the future, awesome. But until they do, our folk should not join a war that will get them injured or killed in a far-away land on behalf of a foreign people, to weaken us and destroy our future.

Let me shorten this: it is past time to stand up against an evil tyranny.

I’ve read that the IDF has officers imbedded in the Pentagon, so how is this a threat when the US Military openly allow it?

From Huter der Irminsul

In the mists of the North, where the ancient Germanic and Norse peoples told their stories around the fire, the universe was not considered a collection of inanimate matter, but a living web of forces, sounds, and invisible currents. The worlds hung from the branches of the World Tree, and every movement of a leaf sent vibrations through the realms of gods, humans, and spirits.

Thousands of years later, Nikola Tesla spoke of a similar concept, albeit in a different language. Not the language of skalds and seers, but that of energy, frequency, and vibration. For him, the universe was a resonating chamber in which everything was interconnected. Where the ancients spoke of cosmic currents, Tesla spoke of electric fields. Where the priests drew runes, he designed circuit diagrams.

In ancient myths, we repeatedly encounter the number three. Three Norns weave the threads of fate. Past, present, and future form a sacred circle. From three arises the doubling to six—a number of reflection and harmony. It connects two triangles: heaven and earth, spirit and matter, origin and completion.

However, in many later religious interpretations, the number six acquired a different meaning. It was declared the number of imperfection because it lay just below seven, which was considered a symbol of divine perfection. When the triple repetition finally appeared—6, 6, 6—the symbolism changed completely. From a number of order, it became a sign of fear. Not because six was inherently evil, but because its triple repetition was interpreted as an exaggeration of the earthly.

From a mythological perspective, one could say: The triple six was “demonized” because it represented the power of matter, while religious symbolism emphasized the primacy of the spiritual. From this contrast arose a shadow image. The number was not condemned because of its mathematical nature, but because of the meanings that people ascribed to it.

Here, the ancient Norse myths and Tesla’s visions intersect in a surprising way. Both speak of hidden forces at work beneath the visible world. Tesla spoke of energies that could flow through the earth. Norse traditions told of currents flowing between the worlds, of forces hidden deep beneath the roots of the World Tree.

Thus, in a mythological interpretation, the triple six appears not as proof of evil, but as a symbol of an ancient reinterpretation: A number that was once part of cosmic order was transformed by cultural and religious developments into a sign of terror. The repetition of six changed from a pattern of resonance into a symbol of warning.

And perhaps Tesla would have seen in this further confirmation of his conviction: that numbers represent not only quantities, but patterns. That vibrations lie behind them. And that the meaning of a number often resides less in the number itself than in the stories people tell about it.

The triple six is ​​therefore less a mathematical proof than a reflection of human mythology – a symbol of how order can become fear, harmony can become legend, and a number can become a mystery.

What Preppers should know about what will be of REAL VALUE when Currency collapses in value. It won’t solely be Gold and/or Silver.

Most people have never had to think seriously about what happens when money stops working. Not just inflation chewing away at purchasing power, or a bank account temporarily frozen during a dispute, but a full-scale situation where the currency in your wallet becomes about as useful as scrap paper.

That is the reality that kicks in during a barter economy collapse, and it has happened more often throughout history than most people are comfortable acknowledging.

Deep thoughts….

What’s the purpose of citizenship when anyone can come in?

What’s the purpose of elections when everyone knows they are rigged?

How many times can a man turn his head and pretend he just doesn’t see? 

NBC news did air this report on Israel.

Keep asking questions, gather information and generate intelligence.

So let’s look at the way the US lost the most recent round of its war with Iran:

1. Regime change failed
2. Nuclear prevention failed
3. Defense of Arab bases failed
4. Defense of Israel failed
5. Destruction of military capabilities failed
6. Strait of Hormuz blocked

About the only thing the US did successfully was to not lose any warships. Which, one notes, could have much more easily been accomplished by not sending them to the Persian Gulf in the first place. And not only did the USA fail in its objectives, but it ended the conflict worse off than when it began.

That is, by every historical measure, a defeat. It’s not an existential one, nor is it necessarily the last word on the international conflict. But the history books will record this as being a defeat of the USA by Iran.

Absent an effective political and military strategy that restores stable and enduring peace between nations in the region, this war risks becoming yet another U.S. exercise in violence untethered from purpose; a war ending in failure, useless destruction, and economic depression that will require years to overcome.

From Vox Popoli …

It’s not hard to understand why the Chinese have absolutely no trust of Clown World or its pet media once one learns the truth of Tiananmen Square. And it does tend to call other Western media reports of China into question.

The US reportedly contacted key leaders among the protesting students and made them an offer—don’t wind down, go harder on the protesting and we’ll give you US passports, CIA-run safe passage out of China, a new home in the richest country in the world, and enrolment in top US universities—Harvard, Princeton, Columbia. Now that was an offer hard to refuse.

In late May, student leader Chai Ling gave her infamously puzzling interview/ talk, where she seemed to predict a Tiananman Square massacre in which she would die. She said she was speaking her last words, as there would be “a massacre which would spill blood like a river through Tiananmen Square” – but she also included the information that she “would not be there” as her new plan was to move to the United States to study there! Years later, she wrote that her remarkable prediction of a coming violent crackdown which would lead to a Tiananmen Square massacre was something she had heard from Li Lu, not her own forecast.

Another person in the leading student group, Kong Qingdong, later recalled how he how he had come across undergraduates using a mimeograph machine to makes copies of personal documents, to give to the US Embassy in return for passports. Two of the top leaders, Chai Ling and Feng Congde, were getting them, he was told by fellow undergraduates.

Kong refused to join the rush to take US passports, saying that the protest was all about making China a better place.
Kong angrily declined to join them. He felt the protests were about standing up for China and enabling socialist modernization for the people—not grabbing passports handed out by a hostile foreign power.

Something else was troubling Kong, which he found hard to articulate. He later said: “I wasn’t fond of the way the forceful way the government spoke. But what they were actually saying was: ‘This is a complex situation. There are certain forces behind the scenes, sowing discord.’ This was the truth.”

Think about that line of agreement between the students and the government: There are certain forces behind the scenes, sowing discord. In other words, some protesters as well as the government knew what was really happening under the surface. But if things were calming down, what changed? How did violence break out? Kong’s answer to that question was cryptic. “When we were little, we watched movies like Guerrillas Sweep The Plain,” he said.

That answer would have meant nothing to a western audience—but it was clear to many Chinese. This was a reference to a classic 1955 Chinese movie in which there are tensions between two groups. They have disagreements but don’t fight. Suddenly, a hidden third body, the Eighth Army, opens fire at both sides and then quickly hides, triggering bloodshed.

And that is what happened. Soldiers and students were sharing food. But on June 3, mysterious thugs, some of whom were said to be from ethnic minorities, triggered a fight in Mu Xi Di, in the west of the city, attacking army buses with petrol bombs and setting them alight, burning the occupants to death. The perpetrators were never found.

Soldiers who managed to escape the burning buses were beaten to death. Other military men arrived and chaotic fighting broke out, with scores of deaths.

This was five kilometers away from Tiananmen Square.

At the Square, in the early hours of June 4, soldiers arrived and called on students to leave. Student leader Feng Congde worked to gauge protesters’ opinions, and concluded that the majority wanted to vacate the space. “So I announced the decision to leave,” he said. Students left peacefully.

Violence did break out, not in the square, but in the streets around it.

One witness, Larry Wortzel, watched protesters attack a military vehicle and noted how well it was organized—someone had definitely trained them. “This was clearly a tactic rehearsed and even practiced among the demonstrators, since it was used in the same way in separate places around the city,” he wrote.

“All verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully,” said the Washington Post’s Jay Mathews.

Now this is where it gets strange. The next day, a very different story appeared from a few foreign embassies saying that 10,000 people had been killed. This tale said the students in the square had not left. They had stayed and been massacred with machine guns, their bodies pushed into piles with bulldozers, and then incinerated by troops with flamethrowers. This gruesome horror story, supported by no evidence at all, is now viewed by eastern and western historians as entirely fictional.
