It occurs to me Opryland made me live in the now. Non-Nashvillians won’t really get this, but perhaps you have a theme park or someplace you’ve always gone to forget about whatever bothers you about your past or worries you about your future. They paved it and built a shopping mall. But it’s pretty funny.…

A link to a page I posted about mythical locations given topographical ones in modern times.

The Roosevelts, the Vanderbilts are royal Dutch families. There’s The Van Rensselaer Family, The Schuyler Family, The Livingston Family, Van Cortlandt Family. You can look up the rest if you want. That’s not all of them. The Dutch were in the Americas before the English. In fact, England is a Dutch colony. So they just…

You can’t defeat the Queen of Hearts If you never follow the rabbit. So even when your party gets spoiled, Try not to make it a habit, To avoid the unease That comes with real growth, For you must go under to rise. For there is no ceiling on this dwelling of ours. As they…

And I said to Achilles, “Why so Sirius?” He looked at his armor, “It makes me impervious! You mortals can’t manage! Just avoid the ankle! ‘Cause that might do damage!” Found this when trying to find an illustration. Sirius/Achilles It says here Sirius was once red which explains why it was associated with war in…

The Feds used to use Fantasia to ‘Monarch’ little kids out and program them to become actors and role players, politicians, royals. Know what used to be made out of holly wood? Those broomsticks they made up stories about witches using to apply ‘flying ointment to their vajay-jays. As if they couldn’t just use their…

Who gifted it to them? The conquered Ottomans.

The King James Bible wasn’t translated when it was attested to have been, and it wasn’t King James who oversaw it. It was translated years later and pre-dated to associate it with a King the people thought fondly of. There were already multiple translations of the Bible into English. Read this about how these “white”…

The idea there’s some barrier to entry to America That no one could surmount til the 15th century, Is absolutely absurd. Why does anyone believe this? Especially with the mountain of evidence disproving it! In fact, I think the whole thing was made up around 300 years ago. Right around that 1776 area. Lots of…

Did you know the “Jolly Roger” was a Templar Symbol? It comes from the Chi Ro, which gets attributed to “Christianity” but precedes Christianity by centuries. https://tamedwinds.com/blogs/posts/brief-history-of-skull-and-bones-a-k-a-jolly-roger?srsltid=AfmBOor0qZ6PzoeHGqyfRLW2PvFXywu-YI1POJjuBxmC3_lf2xaAGlVu I want to convey that the Chi Ro symbol is Greek—not “Roman”. (By the way, the word ‘Rhōmē’ is also Greek. The more you know!) It gets attributed…

The sort of people who run the world think that they deserve to be the beneficiaries in every single exchange that for thousands of years has been mutual. They created banks, hoarded money from the people and started charging THEM to give it back to them. Men who did that got x’d on pyramids here…

Here is the thing: if Babylon DID exist, it wasn’t in Asia. It was in AFRICA—where the rest of the locations the Bible mentions were. It’s hilarious they renamed all that stuff somewhere else when you realise that’s what they did. Because it’s been 2000 years since the NEW Testament according to them. (but not…

I have love for Diogenes He was a dog among men But couldn’t find one in Athens A shame but relatable A cynic born to shame the world By providing a mirror He died a slave, the last we heard. I guess Athens Didn’t like its reflection. So they held an election!

To lay claim for ownership of land that other people are actively living on. It’s psychotic to claim ownership… period. Of anything at all. This is why they were able to get Manhattan for basically nothing. The Indigenous people living there didn’t understand what they were asking for. Why would anyone be able to OWN…
