Apparently the far right groups like to identify themselves with the crusaders, because in their minds they are righteous western Christians fighting against the Muslim Jihad invaders. It’s not that simple. Due to generations of programming and false history, many western people believe that they should identify with Christian western civilisation, and therefore in their mind with Crusaders. If this is what you choose for yourself, then that is your business, but I want to unravel the truth. I want to take this thing way way back in history, to the time before the birth of Western Christian Civilization, to the time of the old world order, to the time of pagan ethnic tribes and kingdoms like the pagan Slavic nations, the Nordic pagan nations, pagan Celts, pagan Greeks, Iberian pagans, etc… I want to know how they were destroyed and by whom, and how exactly did Christian religion gained its immense power and become the most powerful religion on earth, with the most amount of followers around the world.
I know in my heart, I know intuitively that we definitely do not know the whole truth about the history of Crusaders. The Northern Crusades or Baltic Crusades was not the only history where crusaders genocided the pagan European and Slavic nations.

Officially, the Northern Crusades were Christian colonization and Christianization campaigns undertaken by Catholic Christian military orders and kingdoms, primarily against the pagan Baltic, Finnic and West Slavic peoples around the southern and eastern shores of the Baltic Sea, but I know that this is not the entire truth about the crusaders against pagans.

As Christianity was spreading, slaughtering all those who resist, the survivors who gave in and accepted Christianity were then used to fight more crusade wars against other pagans

I found some more blue indigo milk caps in my front yard after the rains. This is the second time. All sources say it’s safe to eat them, but I’ll hold off until I know for sure. They sure are pretty though.

The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest is the biggest oak tree in Britain, with a canopy spread of 28 metres, a trunk circumference of 11 metres and an estimated weight of 23 tonnes. It is somewhere between 800 and 1100 years old. Legend has it Robin Hood and his Merry men used the Major Oak for Shelter. 🏹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
