This song “Dark Eyes” is one of the most popular Russian romance songs. Every Russian person knows this song. Dark Eyes is a Russian romance song with lyrics written by Ukrainian poet Yevhen Hrebinka, first published in 1843. It is known as a gypsy romance cabaret song based on the origional melody of Florian Hermann's Valse Hommage. Versions of this song were played, published by various composers and singers both foreign and Russian from 1910 till present time
David Reimer’s mother decided to raise him as a girl after a botched circumcision left her 8 month old son with no penis.

After a disastrous circumcision, the parents decided to seek out the help of a well-known psychologist and sexologist John William Money who talked them into doing a sex change for their son, and raise him as a girl without telling him he was born a boy.

John Money saw David as a perfect candidate for his nurture and not nature study, and believed that there was a window of opportunity for surgery called a gender gate which lasts till a child is 2 years old.

This well-known psychologist told the parents that if during this so called gender gate window of time the parents choose the gender, and raise the child accordingly, this will determine the gender of the child. Dr. Money was convinced that gender was a fluid construct.

Parents ended up agreeing to this, and David had a rudimentary vagina constructed, given hormones, renamed Brenda, and raised as a girl from then on.

Dr. Money went public with this case, and made it seem to everyone that this horrible experiment was a success. While this twisted doctor was receiving his fame for this case, back in Canada where the Reimer family resided things were proving that Dr. Money’s nurture not nature theory was far from correct.

Brenda/David was showing very masculine behavior. Brenda/David was behaving exactly like how boys behave, and wasn’t at all interested in playing with dolls or dressing up pretty.

Brenda/David struggled to connect with friends, and became very lonely at a young age. Despite of her parents doing everything they can to make her believe she was born a girl, Brenda/David never felt feminine.

This was going very wrong, and it was severely psychologically damaging Breda/David. The parents decided to tell Brenda/David that she was born a he.

Almost immediately after this Brenda turned herself into David, and became a boy again. He had a new penis reconstructed, and met a woman who he later married.

This story did not end well. Because of all that took place, David’s twin brother developed schizophrenia, which led to a drug addiction, and a drug overdose and death.

David’s marriage eventually fell apart and he ended up shooting himself in the head at the age 34.

This is a very tragic story. All those neoliberal parents who deliberately dress their sons in girl dresses, and their daughters in boy cloths, and do transgender surgery on their young kids need to check out this st
Self-sufficiency is the key to freedom. Our ancestors relied on themselves for everything, and were fully self-sufficient. Today we almost completely lack self-sufficiency. We the domesticated humans rely on the state system/government for everything, just like a pet relies on its master
Magical art, beautiful song.
Lovely song & art.
This is wonderful. From start to finish how to grow flax seeds, harvest & prepare it, and make fabric out of it. This was the authentic way of our ancestors. So much work goes into it. So many details. Watching this video makes me realize how far away we are from self-sufficiency. More and more we are becoming disable, and forgetting how to do things for ourselves
I believe it’s very important to absorb as much as you can the knowledge of medicinal and edible wild plants, mushrooms, berries, roots, etc. Every now and then I try to take in some of this sacred knowledge. Today we have the advantage of Internet, which allows us to obtain & share information extremely fast. We cannot allow for this knowledge to die out. Drug companies/pharmaceutical cartel, along with the modern toxic GMO/MSG food producers want us to forget this knowledge forever, and to fully rely on them for their toxic food and medicine. They do not want us to ever be self-sufficient. Knowing about medicinal an edible wild plants, mushrooms, berries, etc. is but a tiny tiny fraction of what our ancient forefathers knew about nature.

Christianity vs. Folk Faith

Folk faith: life in nature
Christianity: “life” after death

Folk faith: Perpetuation of life as sacred
Christianity: fertility as shameful

Folk faith: strength
Christianity: weakness

Folk faith: life & joy
Christianity: death & mourning

Folk faith: humans children of the gods
Christianity: humans slaves/servants of god

Folk faith: freedom
Christianity: authority

Folk faith: direct link to gods
Christianity: intermediaries/priests
I love his enchanting art
