“For the Slavs a birch was as a sacred tree. They planted birches in the garden, and a belt of trees around the village believing it would protect them from bad things.

A birch was also widely used in everyday life of peasants. They covered roofs with it, made clothes, shoes and household items. People still use birch brooms in Russian saunas famous for healthy effect on the body. Specially decorated boxes you buy nowadays as souvenirs started as traditional craft long ago.

The first writings of the Slavs were done on the birch bark as the Egyptians did it on papyrus. They are still being discovered hidden in the ground.

In Russian poetry, songs and paintings a birch always had a special place.” http://my-moscow.org/a-birch-tree-as-a-symbol-of-russia/
BRING BACK SMALL FAMILY FARMS

We are finally witnessing some small signs that humanity is starting to very slowly move away from narrow and rigid view of materialism. If I’m not mistaking, unfortunately materialism is still taught to students in schools. However, change is on the horizon, and this is the time of paradigm shift, which includes how humans perceive animals. New studies on animal behavior show that animals are in fact intelligent individuals with preferences, familial bonds, emotional lives. Human attitudes towards animals are becoming of increasing importance in the areas of conservation and welfare, and people are now fighting to end factory farming.
More than 200 million animals are killed for food around the world every day – just on land. This causes harmful gases such as methane. The animals produce waste that pollutes our water sources, soil, and air. Factory farms produce millions of gallons of manure that can spill into waterways from leaking storage lagoons or fields where manure is over-applied to soil. Manure generates hazardous air pollutants and contains contaminants that can endanger human health.

200 million land animals that are killed DAILY require a colossal amount of water and feed. Not to mention the space to produce the feed for 200 million land animals each day, and to store all these animals. All this contributes to deforestation, and other damage to our planet.
Factory farming & industrial agriculture is not only cruel towards animals, and very harmful to environment, it also contributes to poor health. Such a horrible, unnatural way of keeping billions of animals in a filthy, toxic environment results in all kinds of viruses & diseases. The unnatural feeds, hormones, and excessive quantities of antibiotics used on factory farms put the human population at risk for chronic disease, obesity, and drug-resistant bacteria, and pose the threat of major zoonotic disease outbreaks.
Bible teaching people to dominate, exploit, enslave all animals & nature
Creator of these videos is an atheist. I don’t subscribe to atheism, because I think of it as just another religion, but these videos are very useful, because they contain a collection of biblical verses that are absolutely sickening, evil and disturbing. Similar information can be found in other Abrahamic holy books.

Listening to him read over these verses makes me feel like this religion is the opposite of peace and love. I don’t believe they teach these versus in Sunday school. I was pretty shocked when I discovered these years ago. I didn’t understand how I wasn’t aware of these biblical verses. One of the justifications made by Christian apologists, is that these verses come from the old testament. However, the creator of these videos said that these verses were taken from the new international version and the original king James version. And even if these verses came from old testament, how does this justify, or excuse anything? The New Testament is not disconnected from old one, it’s still the same religion. The old testament was a foundation for the new one. They just cleaned it up a bit to make it fit better the modern times, but it’s the same Christian mindset behind it...

John Dee was a personal astrologer, and occultist of Queen Elizabeth, and the original 007. John Dee was a tutor to Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon is said to contribute to both modern institutions of materialistic science, and modern Christianity. It’s believed that Francis Bacon was responsible for translating the first edition of the King James Bible, and was also responsible for discovering and popularizing the scientific method, which became the foundation of modern scientific inquiry. This seems like a contradiction, because on paper, Christianity and materialistic science are supposed to be in opposition to one another...

This is an excerpt on John Dee & the Macrobes, from Michael Tsarion’s lecture: The Earth Is in Quarantine. Now I’m not saying I fully agree with this researcher’s personal hypothesis, and the conclusions he came to after researching John Dee, but this information is nevertheless interesting, and can possibly connect some dots for some people. I’ve followed Tsarion’s work for a while. I think he’s a very intelligent, and knowledgeable man. I can’t say I agree with all his personal subjective views on certain subjects, but I do resonate with a lot of what he says. Also John Dee’s discovery of other-dimensional/pan-dimensional beings Macrobes has been written about by more than one source, and is known to scholars of John Dee... They just interpret it differently. To some these beings are other-dimensional, other people called them angels... Supposedly, John Dee was able to open a portal with the help of occult knowledge, and contacted some beings that CS Lewis refers to as the Macrobes. He said that under our level of perception we have the microbes., well CS lewis says there’s another level above us which is the same, we can’t see it with our physical instruments, the instrument of knowing that is the human intuition, or imagination. Well, John Dee being an occultist, a magician of very great power, opened a portal in england in the 15th century and contacted beings of a higher intelligence, these Macrobes.

Colossal megaliths around the world challenge the mainstream teachings on how human history had unfolded. Can we trust official history? Written official history tells us one thing, but giant stones tell us something very different.

Unlike verities of mathematics, physics, or geography that in principle anybody can check, statements of history do not allow direct experimental research. We cannot travel into the past to verify for ourselves that the information we’ve been told is valid.

All historical information is unavoidably secondary, and mainly based on written witnesses who’s reliability should be measured. Historical document possess value only if it is authentical of course, in other words if it does not appear to be a falsification produced by unscrupulous descendants.

Humans live only up to 100 years, which means there is no one left alive on earth who can be a living witness to the history that happened 150 years ago. To learn history that took place 150 years ago, and beyond, we have to rely on available historical records/information. Who do you think controls it?

The further back we go into the past, the sharper the question of authenticity gets. Official history is based on documents that can easily be forged/fabricated, or altered. Mainstream history is based on copies of copies, of copies. When it comes to foundation of official history, it’s almost impossible to find genuine authentic documents in their original form.

Megaliths is something that the manipulators can’t fake, or hide from the public, and so academia tries to ignore these sites as much as possible. These giant stones are very uncomfortable for academia. The megaliths, and other high tech buildings some of which have obvious evidence of advanced technology that was used to construct them, contradict everything we’ve been told about technology, electricity, civilization, evolution, etc....
Great & Mighty Megaliths are echoes from our distant past, telling us a story about our ancestors, and serving their purpose as solid evidence, solid truth against the paper house of cards lies that the manipulators try to push on us
I believe that somewhere in this world exist knowledge keepers who know the entire human history from the very beginning until now. They know what kind of civilizations existed in the past. They know about ancient secrets, and the true origins of different races, and the true ages of these races. They know the truth about technology, and whether or not human civilizations of the past had their own Advanced technology and science. They keep record of all ancient wars and cataclysm. The general public is not allowed to this knowledge. The common people of the world are programmed with fabricated version of reality designed by those who exist at top of the hierarchical pyramid of our civilization, and to whom it’s convenient to feed us this version of history, science, archaeology, geology, anthropology, and all other branches of academic knowledge. Not to forget their religions masking as spirituality
Five minute clip from a film “The taking of Sami land”

Here an indigenous Sami person says his Sami ancestors were in-tuned with nature. They didn’t abuse or exploit the natural world, and the land provided them with everything they needed. The man says his ancestors lived peacefully in harmony with nature until the foreigners came who lusted after their land, and all of its riches. This indigenous Sami man describes these “foreigners” as Kareians, Russians, Swedes, Norwegians, and Danes.

This is interesting, because I’ve heard the same story time and time again. All indigenous cultures of the world repeat the same tale. They all say that their ancestors lived peacefully, in harmony with nature until some foreigners came and destroyed their peace, and way of life...

Russian alternative researchers for example found out through their research that indigenous Slavic people lived in peace, in harmony with nature until came Christianity brought by the foreigners, and that’s when genocide & reformation began.

Other indigenous cultures such as Africans and Native Americans blame the entire white race for the destruction of their indigenous cultures...

Everyone is playing the blame game, but who is the real enemy? I believe possibly, all indigenous cultures of the world have a common enemy, and this enemy is very organized, sophisticated and clever, and knows just how to mask itself.

So when this indigenous Sami man blames the foreigners for destruction of his cultures, he doesn’t understand that by the time these Russians, Karelians, Norwegians, and Danes came to take his land, these people had already gone through all of this themselves. Meaning the same had happened to their own people, and after the enemy had taken over their cultures, separated them from their native roots, from nature, and reformed them, the enemy then used them to go do the same to other cultures.
This is from the book “On the Edge of the Primeval Forest” written by Albert Schweitzer. What Albert Schweitzer is describing here is not only unique to indigenous people of Africa. The very same methods and tactics were used on basically all of the indigenous people/ ethnic groups on this planet. This process of enslaving, and reforming all ethnic people is still unfolding till this very day. This is how the urban revolution was brought about.

Here is that excerpt from the book “On the Edge of the Primeval Forest” ;

“In the return for a very little work nature supplies the native with nearly everything that he requires for his support in his village. The negro, then is....a free man. There is, therefore a serious conflict between the needs of trade and the fact that the child of nature is a free man. The wealth of the country cannot be exploited because the native has so slight an interest in the process. How train him to work? How compel him? Create in him as many needs as possible...[The State] imposes on him involuntary needs in shape of taxes...The trader encourages voluntary needs in him by offering him wares of all sorts...
Taxes and new needs...make him anxious for money and employment, but not reliable and conscientious.. The child of nature becomes a steady worker only so far as he ceases to be free...and this can be brought about in several ways...first step...prevent him...from returning to his village...
Colonies of negro labourers, away from their families are...centres of demoralisation, and yet, such colonies are required for trade...Colonisation...demands that as much of the population as possible shall be made available...for utilising to the utmost the natural wealth of the country...
I should think I have a right..even...duty to secure [for a plantation owner] the labour of these men so long as he needs it...I myself hold labour compulsion to be not wrong...” /
The method of enemy used on all free indigenous peoples of the world
Speaking of the blame game, in Russia alternative researchers also blame the foreigners, and Peter the great for taking Leibniz's academic structure and using it as the apex of both his educational projects and new manners reforms designed to transform Russia into a "Western" state.

These researchers point to the fact that during 17th and even part of 18th century, the entire Russian academia was ran by foreigners, and for a time even the language spoken within the academia was German. St. Petersburg Academy of sciences consisted of mostly foreign scholars, and only few Russian scholars. Russian researchers point to Gerhard Friedrich Müller, August Ludwig von Schlözer, and Theophilus Siegfried Bayer as the 3 main 17th century German scholars who were members of St. Petersburg Academy of sciences, and who formed the Norman theory, which is a tendency in historiography, whose supporters regard the Normans (Varangians) as the founders of the state of ancient Rus' Understandably, this is upsetting to Russians, because the Norman theory implies that Russian/Slavic people didn’t have any cultures, or even alphabet till the foreigners gave it to them. Till this day Russian students are taught that their Slavic ancestors were barely civilized, illiterate, barbarians who were ignorant & dirty, and it was the Germans, Scandinavians, and Greeks who civilized them. So I do understand why a lot of Russians are angry at such ideas, but once again, they fail to realize that we all have a common enemy! Yes German, Swedish, and other foreign scholars helped to rewrite Russian/Slavic history, but these foreign scholars came from cultures that were also reformed, and experienced the same thing. When we were all pagan tribes Slavic, German, Karelian, Finnish, Celtic, etc, we were very similar, and had a similar way of life & traditions...
