renegadetribune--2020-12-30--Jewish ‘De-Nazification’ of National Socialist Germany

For all the readily available information about the infamous “ Nazi ” book burnings , next to nothing is mentioned of a far greater book burning : that which transpired during the judeo-Allied “ re-education ” of Germans after their defeat in World War Two .
It is estimated that over a third of all German books had already been destroyed by jewish bombing in West Germany alone , *and this does not include those books in the areas taken from Germany after the war .
Added to the millions of German books destroyed worldwide during the jewish created anti-German @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more German books were destroyed in the twentieth century than likely exist today .
The judeo-Allied consensus upon victory was the doctrine of collective guilt : all Germans , young or old , shared the blame for the war .
The idea was entrenched enough that it caused no surprise when jewish led U.S. President Harry S. Truman refused to alleviate the famine of the German population in December , 1945 , stating : Apparently this applied even to babies and young children .
It was during this time , when German cities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or missing and anywhere up to 20 million homeless Germans were living on food rations of less than 1,000 calories a day , that both the judeo-British and the judeo-Americans took control of German media to instill a sense of collective guilt in the population .
Not only was there was unfettered plunder and looting of German libraries and schools , the Psychological Warfare Division of SHAEF ( Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force ) had been fully organized in anticipation of victory and almost instantly embarked upon an intense , well-mapped jewish psychological @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a German sense of collective guilt and , using the judeo-American controlled German media , launched a massive campaign to shock and subjugate the German mind .
This including control over what they read .
This force later became the Information Control Division ( ICD ) .
They immediately banned German “ politically tainted ” journalists , and prohibited any proud or nationalistic messages that could encourage resistance to their project .
Jews hand picked and licensed German editors from various left wing organizations to run the media , newspapers and journals and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ licenses to 73 mostly left-leaning Germans whose job it was to create a “ new , democratic Germany.
” The ICD defined and limited what was acceptable in both political and cultural fields , and monitored and regulated all information that reached Germans in the judeo-American zone and sector .
By July , 1946 , the ICD had taken control of 37 German newspapers , 6 radio stations , 314 theatres , 642 cinemas , 101 magazines , 237 book publishers , 7,384 book dealers and printers and one of its main criteria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the judeo-Allied forces of occupation and stifle any criticism of jewish Allied war crime actions such as the lethal civilian bombing campaigns .
In addition , on May 13 , 1946 the Allied Control council issued a directive for the confiscation of all media that could contribute to anything loosely defined as militaristic , nationalistic or any material which glorified German history .
The judeo-Allies immediately banned all German film-making in their “ re-education ” zeal , brutally subjecting existing German films to a process of “ denazification , ” destroying thousands of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to cuts and changes to ensure that German society and its media broke with its past and “ with historical traditions upon which National Socialism was built , such as militarism and authoritarianism , ” which loosely meant anything that spoke of pride in their history .
German film makers were arrested and “ de-Nazified , ” some until 1948 .
Their studios were ransacked and purged of any materials deemed un-judeo-American in value .
Most never resumed production .
Typical of the entire jewish “ re-education ” campaign , the judeo-American military @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of their Motion Picture Division in September 1949 .
During the first two years of occupation , jewish American press policy reflected the ideological profile of the ICD press officers , many of whom were recent and sometimes spitefully bitter German emigres with jewish leftist agendas they were eager to spread and these press officers collaborated with the German communists to create a “ democratic German press and culture ” in their own image .
By early 1947 , as cold war loomed , the original ICD press officers were replaced by anti-Communists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the OMGUS ’ s new anti-communist directives ceased or had their editors replaced .
The German mind was pulled one way then stretched another .
The judeo-Soviet counterpart to OMGUS was the Sowjetische Militaradministration in Deutschland who spread Moscow ’ s messages to the Germans .
“ Re-education ” had its critics .
General George S. Patton was one figure who was outspoken in his disagreement with the severity of the judeo-Allied “ re-education ” programs instituted to “ detoxify ” the German people .
The jew Eisenhower consequently removed him as U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 15th Army Group .
Three months later , in December 1945 , Patton suffered a broken neck in a car accident and died ( assassinated ) less than two weeks later at the age of 60 .
Mass murderer Kike Eisenhower went on to implement these oppressive policies emanating from Washington , and he strictly censored any vocal or written opposition to any part of the anti- “ Nazi ” program by the military .
The program , left without any brave watchdogs , soon became even more severe .
All German @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the judeo-Western Occupation Zones was subjected to censorship .

All such publications and materials were ordered by the judeo-Allied “ re-education ” teams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of each Zone to be destroyed ” and This massive , haphazard jewish vandalism was carried out by unqualified people from 1946 to 1952 , and many books were lost forever due to careless storage and handling , all under the jewish battle cry of making the world a safer place .

Sloppy handling caused the loss of the entire musical works of Richard Strauss in this orgy of jewish stupidity .
From , Issue of Monday , May 27 , 1946 : Here is how the Allies went about the suppression of ideas : Into Berlin ’ s press camp breezed a pretty young ex-WAC introduced as Vivian Cox , an “ expert ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on a desk and dangling her long , nylon-clad legs , Miss Cox answered indignant newsmen ’ s questions in a pleasant Southern drawl .
How would “ militaristic ” be defined , asked one reporter .
Replied Miss Cox : “ It ’ s the way the Germans have of waging war.
” How would “ democratic ” be defined ?
Said Miss Cox : “ Everything American people think and call democratic.
” Was the order different in principle from “ Nazi ” book burnings ?
No , not in Miss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ago , the “ Nazis ” had confiscated and burned millions of “ un-German ” books .
The war had destroyed hundreds of thousands more .
Now the Allied order would eliminate millions more .
Pessimists could see the day approaching when Germans would have nothing left to read except perhaps some of Grimm ’ s lighter fairy tales .
Cracked one British officer to a U.S. colleague : “ You people might yet be able to convert the Germans to your comics….
” The measure found its defenders .
Said one U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won ’ t be able to read Clausewitz these long summer nights.
” Said a Russian : “ If more of them were out ploughing fields instead of reading , there would be more food.
” But most observers condemned the order as a piece of unenforceable foolishness which would only increase interest in the verboten books , and martyrize Germany ’ s nationalistic spirit .
Greed also played a part .
The British Library was so disgusted and frightened by German books that it alone possesses about 12,000 books the judeo-Allies seized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1944 and 1947 .
The US Library of Congress was so appalled by dangerous German books that it obtained over 819,000 Allied confiscated German books by 1948 and 2 million other pieces of German literature .
Congress kept 28 % of the stock , including Hitler ’ s private library , and sent 72 % to the Association of Research Libraries .
Only a small portion was ever returned to Germany .
The French take is unclear , but the Soviets stole a lion ’ s share , especially rare illuminated medieval manuscripts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : since “ Germany started the war ” they deserved to loot German cultural history .
Beginning with “ re-education ” at the end of the War , Germany has continued the strict censorship imposed by the judeo-Soviet and the judeo-Allied occupiers .
Even today , using the “ special history ” excuse , “ nationalistic ” books , songs and symbols are illegal even in private in Austria and Germany , and Germany has been aggressive in trying to expand its own strict laws beyond its borders .
Almost all prosecutions of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ connection with what they term holocaust “ revisionism ” or “ denial.
” Merely questioning an aspect , re-analyzing data , expressing a maverick theory or trying to revise a statistic pertaining to this subject is lumped under “ holocaust denial ” which is illegal not only in Germany and Austria , but in most of Europe .
Thousands of people have been convicted of violating judeo-European “ denial ” laws and they are currently languishing in judeo-European dungeons .
Cases prosecuted under these jewish laws go unchallenged even when the convicted parties @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were simply expressing their opinion .
In the cases of scientists , artists , singers or writers convicted of this offense , their homes and businesses are raided and their work is destroyed by the jewish state .
Worse , the definition of “ denial ” is being broadened and is defined today as “ hard-core ” and “ soft-core ” denial , the latter including discussion of the judeo-Allied bombing campaign against Germany as well as the jewish expulsions of ethnic German civilians after the war .
Even liberal writers extremely critical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ soft-core deniers ” when they came out with books discussing the heavy toll of judeo-Allied bombing upon the German civilians in the war .
* Judeo-Allied bombing of Germany caused extensive destruction of German libraries , including but not limited to : the Library of the Technical University of Aachen ( 50,000 volumes ) , the Bonn University Library ( 25 % of its holdings ) , the Library of the Technical University in Darmstadt ( two thirds of its collection ) , the Stadt- und Landesbibliothek in Dortmund ( 250,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Dresden ( 200,000 volumes ) , the Essen Stadtbücherei ( 130,000 volumes ) , the Giessen University Library ( nine tenths of its collection ) , the Library of the Technical University in Karlsruhe ( 63,000 volumes ) , the Library of the Technical University in Stuttgart ( 50,000 volumes ) , Source : UNESCO .

For all the readily available information about the infamous “Nazi” book burnings, next to nothing is mentioned of a far greater book burning: that which transpired during the judeo-Allied “re-education” of Germans after their defeat in World War Two.
It is estimated that over a third of all German books had already been destroyed by jewish bombing in West Germany alone,*and this does not include those books in the areas taken from Germany after the war. Added to the millions of German books destroyed worldwide during the jewish created anti-German hysteria of World War One, far more German books were destroyed in the twentieth century than likely exist today.
The judeo-Allied consensus upon victory was the doctrine of collective guilt: all Germans, young or old, shared the blame for the war. The idea was entrenched enough that it caused no surprise when jewish led U.S. President Harry S. Truman refused to alleviate the famine of the German population in December, 1945, stating :
“though all Germans might not be guilty for the war, it would be too difficult to try to single out for better treatment those who had nothing to do with the ‘Nazi’ regime and its crimes.”
Apparently this applied even to babies and young children. It was during this time, when German cities were in rubble, millions were dead or missing and anywhere up to 20 million homeless Germans were living on food rations of less than 1,000 calories a day, that both the judeo-British and the judeo-Americans took control of German media to instill a sense of collective guilt in the population.
Not only was there was unfettered plunder and looting of German libraries and schools, the Psychological Warfare Division of SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force) had been fully organized in anticipation of victory and almost instantly embarked upon an intense, well-mapped jewish psychological propaganda campaign for the purpose of developing a German sense of collective guilt and, using the judeo-American controlled German media, launched a massive campaign to shock and subjugate the German mind. This including control over what they read.
As soon as the jewish led U.S. Army entered Germany at war’s end, the U.S. Army and the Office of Military Government shut down German newspapers, journals, and radio stations in the American zone and installed brainwashing experts from the Psychological Warfare Division of the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (PWD/ SHAEF) to control the German minds.
This force later became the Information Control Division (ICD). They immediately banned German “politically tainted” journalists, and prohibited any proud or nationalistic messages that could encourage resistance to their project. Jews hand picked and licensed German editors from various left wing organizations to run the media, newspapers and journals and by mid-1946, they had given press licenses to 73 mostly left-leaning Germans whose job it was to create a “new, democratic Germany.”
The ICD defined and limited what was acceptable in both political and cultural fields, and monitored and regulated all information that reached Germans in the judeo-American zone and sector. By July, 1946, the ICD had taken control of 37 German newspapers, 6 radio stations, 314 theatres, 642 cinemas, 101 magazines, 237 book publishers, 7,384 book dealers and printers and one of its main criteria was to strictly prohibit any criticism of the judeo-Allied forces of occupation and stifle any criticism of jewish Allied war crime actions such as the lethal civilian bombing campaigns. In addition, on May 13, 1946 the Allied Control council issued a directive for the confiscation of all media that could contribute to anything loosely defined as militaristic, nationalistic or any material which glorified German history.
The judeo-Allies immediately banned all German film-making in their “re-education” zeal, brutally subjecting existing German films to a process of “denazification,” destroying thousands of films in the process and subjecting others to cuts and changes to ensure that German society and its media broke with its past and “with historical traditions upon which National Socialism was built, such as militarism and authoritarianism,” which loosely meant anything that spoke of pride in their history. German film makers were arrested and “de-Nazified,” some until 1948. Their studios were ransacked and purged of any materials deemed un-judeo-American in value. Most never resumed production. Typical of the entire jewish “re-education” campaign, the judeo-American military put bitter left-leaning German expatriates in charge of their Motion Picture Division in September 1949.
During the first two years of occupation, jewish American press policy reflected the ideological profile of the ICD press officers, many of whom were recent and sometimes spitefully bitter German emigres with jewish leftist agendas they were eager to spread and these press officers collaborated with the German communists to create a “democratic German press and culture” in their own image. By early 1947, as cold war loomed, the original ICD press officers were replaced by anti-Communists and most publications that did not follow the OMGUS’s new anti-communist directives ceased or had their editors replaced. The German mind was pulled one way then stretched another. The judeo-Soviet counterpart to OMGUS was the Sowjetische Militaradministration in Deutschland who spread Moscow’s messages to the Germans.
“Re-education” had its critics. General George S. Patton was one figure who was outspoken in his disagreement with the severity of the judeo-Allied “re-education” programs instituted to “detoxify” the German people.
On September 22, 1945, while speaking to reporters, Patton compared the “denazification thing” and the controversy over “Nazism” to a “Democratic and Republican election fight.”
The jew Eisenhower consequently removed him as U.S. commander in Bavaria and transferred him to the 15th Army Group. Three months later, in December 1945, Patton suffered a broken neck in a car accident and died(assassinated) less than two weeks later at the age of 60. Mass murderer Kike Eisenhower went on to implement these oppressive policies emanating from Washington, and he strictly censored any vocal or written opposition to any part of the anti-“Nazi” program by the military. The program, left without any brave watchdogs, soon became even more severe.
A huge chunk of German history was lost forever.
All German literature found in both the judeo-Soviet and the judeo-Western Occupation Zones was subjected to censorship. In the U.S. zone, it was regulated by the occupation directive JCS 1067 valid until July 1947, and in the May 1946 order valid for all zones until 1950. Allied Control Authority Order No. 4 stated:
“Confiscation of Literature and Material of a Nazi and Militarist Nature” dictated that all confiscated literature was reduced to pulp instead of burning to avoid accusations of book burning! Unfortunately, those in charge of disposal often didn’t know Goethe from Goofy, and thousands of innocuous, even rare, books were “pulped.”
The first such list of material was followed by three supplements, totaling 35,000 books and a ban was applied to all textbooks published from 1933 to 1945. All such publications and materials were ordered by the judeo-Allied “re-education” teams to be “released to the Commanders of each Zone to be destroyed” and
all books having “National Socialist propaganda, racial teachings and “calls to violence” or propaganda directed against the United Nations, etc.” were removed from all libraries, schools, universities, research institutes, academies, technical or academic societies, bookstores, publishing houses and even from some private homes… and then destroyed.
This massive, haphazard jewish vandalism was carried out by unqualified people from 1946 to 1952, and many books were lost forever due to careless storage and handling, all under the jewish battle cry of making the world a safer place.
This was the greatest campaign of book destruction of all time and ended up being applied not only to the offending books, but to poetry, philosophy, musical verse, calendars, horse books, books about trade and agriculture, driving manuals, books about flowers, home building, barns, astronomy, plumbing, poets, tennis and books about gardening. Hundreds of years of German history and culture were lost due to this arrogant jewish abuse of authority, brazen jewish incompetence and total jewish ignorance.
Books about birds made the list, as well as books by Friedrich the Great and Bismarck and antique European military history books. Popular children’s books, including rare editions of the Brothers Grimm, were pulped on the grounds that they “provoked violence.” Everything about the Olympic Games of 1936 was banned. Books by the ancient poets were pulped. Even books once banned by the National Socialists were destroyed! Sloppy handling caused the loss of the entire musical works of Richard Strauss in this orgy of jewish stupidity.
From Time , Issue of Monday, May 27, 1946:
To re-educate Germany, the Allies last week adopted a typically “Nazi” device. The four-power Coordinating Committee decided to reduce to pulp all “undemocratic, militaristic and “Nazi” literature, museum and library material, newspapers, films and war memorials. Tombstones were excepted.
Here is how the Allies went about the suppression of ideas:
Into Berlin’s press camp breezed a pretty young ex-WAC introduced as Vivian Cox, an “expert” attached to the Military Directorate. Sitting on a desk and dangling her long, nylon-clad legs, Miss Cox answered indignant newsmen’s questions in a pleasant Southern drawl. How would “militaristic” be defined, asked one reporter. Replied Miss Cox: “It’s the way the Germans have of waging war.” How would “democratic” be defined? Said Miss Cox: “Everything American people think and call democratic.” Was the order different in principle from “Nazi” book burnings? No, not in Miss Cox’s opinion… Just 13 years ago, the “Nazis” had confiscated and burned millions of “un-German” books. The war had destroyed hundreds of thousands more. Now the Allied order would eliminate millions more. Pessimists could see the day approaching when Germans would have nothing left to read except perhaps some of Grimm’s lighter fairy tales. Cracked one British officer to a U.S. colleague: “You people might yet be able to convert the Germans to your comics….” The measure found its defenders. Said one U.S. official: “At least the Germans won’t be able to read Clausewitz these long summer nights.” Said a Russian: “If more of them were out ploughing fields instead of reading, there would be more food.” But most observers condemned the order as a piece of unenforceable foolishness which would only increase interest in the verboten books, and martyrize Germany’s nationalistic spirit.
Greed also played a part. The British Library was so disgusted and frightened by German books that it alone possesses about 12,000 books the judeo-Allies seized from German libraries and institutions between June 1944 and 1947. The US Library of Congress was so appalled by dangerous German books that it obtained over 819,000 Allied confiscated German books by 1948 and 2 million other pieces of German literature. Congress kept 28% of the stock, including Hitler’s private library, and sent 72% to the Association of Research Libraries. Only a small portion was ever returned to Germany. The French take is unclear, but the Soviets stole a lion’s share, especially rare illuminated medieval manuscripts, but they were at least direct: since “Germany started the war” they deserved to loot German cultural history.
Millions of other German books that survived the bombings and looting were stolen by occupying soldiers.
Beginning with “re-education” at the end of the War, Germany has continued the strict censorship imposed by the judeo-Soviet and the judeo-Allied occupiers. Even today, using the “special history” excuse, “nationalistic” books, songs and symbols are illegal even in private in Austria and Germany, and Germany has been aggressive in trying to expand its own strict laws beyond its borders. Almost all prosecutions of jewish censorship violations have taken place in connection with what they term holocaust “revisionism” or “denial.” Merely questioning an aspect, re-analyzing data, expressing a maverick theory or trying to revise a statistic pertaining to this subject is lumped under “holocaust denial” which is illegal not only in Germany and Austria, but in most of Europe.
“To have failed to write about a particular historical event in a balanced manner” (?) is a crime that can send an amateur historian to jail and he will often serve a longer sentence than a child molester or serial rapist.
Thousands of people have been convicted of violating judeo-European “denial” laws and they are currently languishing in judeo-European dungeons. Cases prosecuted under these jewish laws go unchallenged even when the convicted parties were pacifists and never proposed violence but were simply expressing their opinion. In the cases of scientists, artists, singers or writers convicted of this offense, their homes and businesses are raided and their work is destroyed by the jewish state. Worse, the definition of “denial” is being broadened and is defined today as “hard-core” and “soft-core” denial, the latter including discussion of the judeo-Allied bombing campaign against Germany as well as the jewish expulsions of ethnic German civilians after the war. Even liberal writers extremely critical of the Third Reich have been tarnished as “soft-core deniers” when they came out with books discussing the heavy toll of judeo-Allied bombing upon the German civilians in the war.

From Festivals of Western Europe [1958]
This is a merry night throughout Germany. Traditional foods, ancient customs, old fashioned games and beloved folk songs all play an important role in colorful celebrations that take place in various areas.
People in different localities think it “lucky” to eat certain foods on this last night of the old year. For example, there is the traditional carp, which is served not only in the homes but in fashionable metropolitan restaurants. In northern Germany many people, especially those of the older generation, not only eat the fish but slip a few of the shining scales into their purses as a New Year’s charm to ensure plenty of money in the next twelve months! Then there is the traditional Silvesterabend punch, a fine hot potent toddy made of cinnamon-and-sugar-flavored red wine, which is served with Pfannkuchen, or doughnuts.
Just as carp is thought by some to bring good luck, so Baden folk insist that their special dried pea soup is auspicious for all partakers.
Along the lower Rhine there are many delightful New Year’s Eve foods including Noujoer, or “little New Year” yeast cookies, baked in spiral wreath forms or in pretzel or circle shapes. In Bergisch-Land and Wuppertal the favorite pastry is Ballbauschen, a toothsome fried cake stuffed with raisins and currants.
Regardless of locality, however, or the special fare enjoyed on Silvesterabend, everybody agrees that to secure a well-stocked larder for the coming year one must leave on one’s plate a bit of every kind of food–at least, until after the clock strikes midnight!
According to ancient Germanic folk belief prowling demons, devils and other spirits of darkness must be routed on the last night of the year by mummery and noise. For the most part the superstition has been forgotten, but shooting parties still are popular at Berchtesgaden, in the Bavarian Alps, and elsewhere, and Buttenmandl, or Little Butten Men, still run through streets of towns and villages. The Buttenmandl are peasants dressed in straw clothing who wear deerskin animal masks. They hold clanging bells and drag clanking chains in an effort to drive out evil spirits! Members of the shooting societies, on the other hand, do their part in routing demons by scaling the Berchtesgaden heights and shooting in unison five hundred or more old mortars.
In Schiltach on the Kinzig a four-hundred-year-old ceremony annually is reenacted with the midnight ringing of the church bells. Old and young, carrying lighted lanterns, assemble in the town square and pledge to protect their town under all circumstances. After a hymn of thanksgiving the lantern bearers visit the parsonage, where the pastor greets them and gives his blessing.
The procession then returns to the square where the Burgomaster of Schittach delivers a New Year message in which he reviews events of the past year and extends best wishes for the one to come. The official greeting is accepted and congratulations returned by one of the town’s leading citizens.
The last night of the year is regarded as a propitious occasion for looking into the future. “Lead pouring” parties are popular among young people who drop a little melted lead into a bowl of cold water and read fortunes for the coming year from the shapes the metal assumes. Thus a ship may mean a voyage to distant shores, a pig, food and plenty on the farm, a ring, a wedding, and so on.
In lower Rhine areas card games are the most popular pastime of the season. Everyone plays until midnight; but as soon as church bells begin to peal and sirens to blow, everyone throws down the cards and shouts the ancient greeting, “Prosit Neujahr!”
In some places bands of children go from house to house singing carols. Sometimes the songs are addressed especially to godfathers and godmothers. The children are welcomed by householders who give them presents of nuts, apples, Pfefferkuchen and coins.

Tutankhamen, the boy king whose tomb was famously discovered in 1922 by LordC arnarvon and Howard Carter, is arguably the most famous pharaoh in Egyptian history. Every child and adult alike has heard about King Tut, and Carter and Carnarvon have both gone down in history and folklore due to the artefacts they uncovered in the Valley of the Kings.
And today, just years away from the 100 year anniversary of the discovery, we continue to learn more and more about the finds. But when you put the information together, when you logically look at the tomb of King Tut, something is clearly very wrong and I’m not talking about the fabled curse. Far from being the greatest historical discovery of all time, have we actually been taken in by greatest historical #hoax of all time?

Today in “how far can your rights be infringed upon before people start to push back” news…
About 12,000 New York City students are being prevented from attending in-person learning because their parents “failed to sign consent forms for weekly random testing”, Bloomberg reported last week. The students are part of a larger group of 190,000 pre-school through elementary students who returned to classrooms in December.
While about 60,000 pre-school and kindergarten students are exempt from testing, there are still about 130,000 students who are required to participate in random testing.
Nathaniel Styer, a spokesman for the city Department of Education, said:
Due to the extensive efforts of our staff, 91% of students who need a consent form have one on file. Students without consent forms, and who do not have approved exemptions, are transitioned to remote instruction.
Random testing is conducted on 20% of everyone in each school building, every week. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza are responsible for implementing the standards that went into place after NYC schools had previously shut down.
Meanwhile, high school and middle school students that are part of NYC’s 1 million plus student body are all receiving remote instruction. “Tens of thousands” of elementary school parents have voluntarily opted out of the random testing in favor of remote learning as well, Bloomberg concluded.

As science progresses and archaeologists are forging new positive relationships with developers around Irish heritage, more secrets from Ireland’s Viking past are coming to light, and they are not just found in burial grounds, unearthed dwellings, and old settlements; they can be found in the DNA of the modern-day Irish people. The Vikings may have only been present in Ireland for three centuries – a drop in the ocean compared to its long and dramatic history – but recent research is showing that their influence was far greater than previously realised.
Read Part 1
Recent Research Shows Viking Influence Has Been Heavily Underestimated
It has long been known that the Vikings – in Ireland’s case, the Norse and the Danes – eventually settled down and lived alongside the Irish clans, in some cases intermarrying and allying themselves with Irish chieftains.
“As early as the middle of the ninth century we hear of a mixed race called the Gall-Gael (Gaill-Gaedhil) of partly Scandinavian and partly Irish blood, who began to collect formidable armies. Intermarriage and settlement must thus have been frequent at a date when it is customary to think of the Norse as mere occasional raiders along the coasts.” (Hull, 1931).
Sea-faring Danes depicted invading England. Illuminated illustration from the 12th century Miscellany on the Life of St. Edmund ( Public Domain )
The intermingling between the Vikings and the Irish is reflected in many of the surnames present in Ireland today: Doyle (son of the dark foreigner), MacAuliffe (son of Olaf), and MacManus (son of Manus), all originate from Viking warriors who married Irish women. Other Norse names found in Ireland include Cotter, Dowdall, Dromgoole, Gould, Harold, Howard, Loughlin, Sweetman and Trant.
Viking Genes in Ireland
It was widely assumed that the genetic contribution of Vikings to the Irish was relatively small, with just a few surviving surnames as their legacy. Supporting this belief was a genetic study conducted in (2006), which showed little remaining signature of the Viking ages in Irish DNA (McEvoy, B., et al., 2006). However, it only examined the paternal line of Irish individuals that carried Norse surnames and used only one percent of available genetic information.
A more rigorous study conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin in December, 2017, revealed that the Vikings’ genetic contribution to Irish DNA had been largely underestimated. Their research pieced together a ‘DNA atlas’ using the genetics of 536 Irish men and women. Their results turned up a “surprising level” of Norwegian related ancestry, predominately from counties on the north or western coasts of Norway, where Norse Viking activity originated from.
“The effect of the Norse Vikings on the genetic landscape of Ireland seems to be shared across Ireland, and not limited to regions of Norse settlement, e.g. Limerick, Waterford, Wexford, and Dublin,” the study authors reported in their paper published in the journal Scientific Reports .

Just weeks later, another study concurred that the Vikings made a lasting impression on the DNA map of Ireland. Scientists from Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute at Cambridge, and University College London, mapped genetic similarities and differences between almost 1,000 Irish individuals and more than 6,000 from Britain and mainland Europe. They also found that the Irish have far more Viking ancestry than previously discovered.
“Of all the European populations considered, ancestral influence in Irish genomes was best represented by modern Scandinavians and northern Europeans, with a significant single-date one-source admixture event overlapping the historical period of the Norse-Viking settlements in Ireland,” the study authors wrote in the journal PLOS One .
Unlike the study conducted by the Royal College which found the genetic traces of Vikings spread across the whole of Ireland, the Trinity College study found that the strongest signals were in the south and central Leinster (consistent with the largest recorded Viking settlement in Ireland based in present-day Dublin), followed by Connacht and north Leinster/Ulster.
“The long and complex history of population dynamics in Ireland has left an indelible mark on the genomes of modern inhabitants of the island” co-author of the study Professor Russell McLaughlin told the MailOnline.

The Covid-19 vaccine isn ’ t even in the hands of most Americans yet and already CNN is prepping the masses for the idea of a “ vaccine passport ” , which it says could be needed to travel , and even “ shop and go to the movies again ” .
“ In order to do those activities , you may eventually need something in addition to the vaccine : a vaccine passport application , ” an article from this week proudly proclaims .
“ Rest assured , the nerds are on it , ” CNN playfully writes , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ idea of authoritarian globalization with a joke or two .
The article notes that several technology companies have begun developing apps to upload details of vaccinations – as if the tech giants didn ’ t have enough of your data or enough information about you .
These companies could require you to show your “ credentials ” at “ concert venues , stadiums , movie theaters , offices , or even countries.
” But don ’ t worry , the article notes , the Common Trust Network , “ an initiative by Geneva-based @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Economic Forum ” has partnered with several airlines to help with the project .
Their app allows you to upload medical data that will generate a QR code for travel .
Because nothing says “ secure ” quite like the World Economic Forum having access to your medical records .
Thomas Crampton , chief marketing and communications officer for The Commons Project , said : “ You can be tested every time you cross a border .
You can not be vaccinated every time you cross a border.
” IBM , possibly bored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in other than gaming its annual effective tax rate and buying back stock , also developed its own app called “ Digital Health Pass ” .

renegadetribune--2020-02-03--The Mysterious Michael D’Andrea: Was the C.I.A.’s Iran Mission Center Chief Shot Down?

Last Monday a United States Air Force Bombardier E11A communications and intelligence gathering jet was either shot down or crashed in a remote mountainous region of Afghanistan .
Almost immediately a story sourcing Taliban officials ran on Iranian State television claiming that the dead had included Michael D ’ Andrea , the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency ( C.I.A . )
’ s special Iran task force , which goes by the name Iran Mission Center .
U.S. forces were hampered by weather , Taliban gunfire and terrain from reaching the site of the crash for more than 24 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kind of definitive commentary from Washington gave the story legs .
Given the news vacuum on the story , the Iranian account was picked up throughout the Middle East , to include photos allegedly taken of the downed plane and of burned corpses .
Russian Media also featured the story and it was eventually even reported , though with some editorial skepticism , by the Independent and Daily Mail in the United Kingdom .
The Pentagon eventually issued a brief report that the crash appeared to be accidental , perhaps due to weather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pilot and co-pilot , both Air Force officers , had been killed .
The statement to the media did not explicitly say whether or not there was anyone else on board the plane , which is capable of carrying additional crewmen and passengers .
The C.I.A .
refused to comment .
Fully forty-eight hours after the crash the Pentagon released a second statement confirming that the two crewmen were Lt. Col. Paul K. Voss , 46 , of Yigo , Guam ; and Capt .
Ryan S. Phaneuf , 30 , of Hudson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the U.S. dutifully replayed the government version of what had occurred , but that did not stop a wave of speculation regarding a possible cover-up .
Some reasoned that the Iranians , who are cooperating with the Taliban against U.S. forces , seemed to be on top of the story first , indicating that they might have known what occurred in real time because they had been in the loop with the Taliban armed unit that may have shot the aircraft down using a Russian produced portable anti-aircraft missile launcher .
Many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to believe the account circulated by Iran and other media outlets because the United States has a recent track record of lying about nearly everything , including the “ imminent threat ” details of its recent assassination of Iranian Major General and Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani .
The U.S. also lied when it claimed that there had been no casualties among American forces after Iran struck back against two bases in Iraq and many observers are quick to note that the United States has as its Chief Executive a man who calls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” and who is constantly claiming that there exists a huge reservoir of “ fake news.
” So , another lie by the Pentagon in reporting the possibly successful attempt to kill a senior C.I.A .
officer would be expected by nearly everyone , which is not to suggest that the Iranian account was necessarily true or accurate in all details .
Iran would have had plenty of motive to create confusion about the United States and what it was doing in Afghanistan , particularly if the implication is that Afghanistan was being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or even attack Iran , with which Kabul is not at war .
The White House and Agency have neither confirmed nor denied that the C.I.A .
Chief of the Iran Mission Center Michael D ’ Andrea is still alive .
He has in any event an interesting history .
He is apparently a near contemporary of mine though I did not know him and do not know if that is his true name .
As he is reported to be under cover , the fact that a name has surfaced at all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the U.S. media .
A former chief of the CI.A.
’ s Counter Terrorism Center , he was appointed to his current position by then Agency Director Mike Pompeo in June 2017 .
The New York Times reported that his appearance on the scene would mean a much harder line in opposing Iran on the part of the Trump Administration .
Within the Agency , D ’ Andrea was reportedly referred to as the Dark Prince or Ayatollah Mike , nicknames he acquired while heading the search for Usama bin Laden and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ targets in Afghanistan , Pakistan , Syria , Yemen and Iraq .
As a chain-smoking observant convert to Islam , he is not your conventional Agency officer , many of whom are more comfortable working inside from an Embassy desk rather than from a helicopter .
A workaholic who keeps a roll away bed in his office , D ’ Andrea is , as a result of his abrasive style , reportedly extremely difficult to work with and not terribly popular .
One might also speculate that the claimed killing of D ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that might be construed as a warning .
The C.I.A .
officer might still be alive , but it is completely possible that the tale of his death was something of a contrivance to serve as a warning coming from the Iranian government suggesting that if the American government can kill senior Iranian officials , American senior officials might likewise also be targeted .
Even if D ’ Andrea was not on the plane , he just might come to the conclusion that his movements were being monitored .
U.S. bases overseas are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in menial tasks like driving or cleaning and even for perimeter and other basic security .
Any number of them might be reporting on the movement of important Americans to the Taliban and other interested parties .
D ’ Andrea and other senior U.S. government officials will inevitably have to think twice and increase their security arrangements when next they venture forth .
And even an obstinate White House will perhaps begin to think that killing men like Qassem Soleimani is not a good idea because if we continue to do it to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will turn around and do it to us .

Some reasoned that the Iranians, who are cooperating with the Taliban against U.S. forces, seemed to be on top of the story first, indicating that they might have known what occurred in real time because they had been in the loop with the Taliban armed unit that may have shot the aircraft down using a Russian produced portable anti-aircraft missile launcher.
Many who were following the story were inclined to believe the account circulated by Iran and other media outlets because the United States has a recent track record of lying about nearly everything, including the “imminent threat” details of its recent assassination of Iranian Major General and Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani. The U.S. also lied when it claimed that there had been no casualties among American forces after Iran struck back against two bases in Iraq and many observers are quick to note that the United States has as its Chief Executive a man who calls journalists the “enemy of the people” and who is constantly claiming that there exists a huge reservoir of “fake news.”
So, another lie by the Pentagon in reporting the possibly successful attempt to kill a senior C.I.A. officer would be expected by nearly everyone, which is not to suggest that the Iranian account was necessarily true or accurate in all details. Iran would have had plenty of motive to create confusion about the United States and what it was doing in Afghanistan, particularly if the implication is that Afghanistan was being used as a launching pad to destabilize or even attack Iran, with which Kabul is not at war.
The White House and Agency have neither confirmed nor denied that the C.I.A. Chief of the Iran Mission Center Michael D’Andrea is still alive. He has in any event an interesting history. He is apparently a near contemporary of mine though I did not know him and do not know if that is his true name. As he is reported to be under cover, the fact that a name has surfaced at all is due to investigative reporting on him in the U.S. media. A former chief of the CI.A.’s Counter Terrorism Center, he was appointed to his current position by then Agency Director Mike Pompeo in June 2017. The New York Times reported that his appearance on the scene would mean a much harder line in opposing Iran on the part of the Trump Administration.
Within the Agency, D’Andrea was reportedly referred to as the Dark Prince or Ayatollah Mike, nicknames he acquired while heading the search for Usama bin Laden and also while directed drone strikes against al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. As a chain-smoking observant convert to Islam, he is not your conventional Agency officer, many of whom are more comfortable working inside from an Embassy desk rather than from a helicopter. A workaholic who keeps a roll away bed in his office, D’Andrea is, as a result of his abrasive style, reportedly extremely difficult to work with and not terribly popular.
One might also speculate that the claimed killing of D’Andrea is something like a half truth that might be construed as a warning. The C.I.A. officer might still be alive, but it is completely possible that the tale of his death was something of a contrivance to serve as a warning coming from the Iranian government suggesting that if the American government can kill senior Iranian officials, American senior officials might likewise also be targeted.
Even if D’Andrea was not on the plane, he just might come to the conclusion that his movements were being monitored. U.S. bases overseas are full of local employees who are engaged in menial tasks like driving or cleaning and even for perimeter and other basic security. Any number of them might be reporting on the movement of important Americans to the Taliban and other interested parties. D’Andrea and other senior U.S. government officials will inevitably have to think twice and increase their security arrangements when next they venture forth. And even an obstinate White House will perhaps begin to think that killing men like Qassem Soleimani is not a good idea because if we continue to do it to “them,” “they” will turn around and do it to us.

Hermann August Cappelen (1 May 1827 – 8 March 1852) was a Norwegian painter. Cappelen was best known for his melancholic, dramatic and romantic landscape compositions.
His paintings were characterized by breadth and originality, combined with much poetical feeling. His wild designs from Telemark with forests, lakes and streams are filled with a pathetic mood of loneliness and transience. Powerful forms of nature, especially trees and mountains block, is effective in the composition, coloring and playing in the deep moss green tones. (Full bio on Wikipedia)

The ketogenic diet has gained a tremendous amount of popularity over the past few years, and it’s become a trend that many people are adopting without doing their own research first. We’ve written multiple articles on the ketogenic diet, a diet that promotes a high fat/low carb intake in order to prolong the production of ketone bodies in one’s blood. The release of these ketone bodies happens when we fast and deplete our glucose reserves, which develop from eating carbohydrates that turn into sugar. One can prolong the production of these ketones by sticking to a low carbohydrate/high fat diet, and essentially run off of fat instead of their glucose reserves.
The ketogenic diet is being used as an intervention for cancer, and there are multiple studies showing how ketones can actually kill cancer. It’s becoming well known that cancer cells cannot efficiently process ketone bodies for energy. Essentially, the cell starves itself, and ketones help slow the proliferation of tumor cells. Dietary ketones have been shown to completely halt metastasis. For example, a study titled “The Ketogenic Diet & Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Prolong Survival in Mice with Systemic Metastatic Cancer” explains how it’s already known that the ketogenic diet elevates blood ketones and has been shown to slow cancer progression in both animals and humans. The study also revealed that the ketogenic diet “significantly decreased blood glucose, slowed tumor growth, and increased mean survival time by 56.8 percent in mice with systemic metastatic cancer.”
Fasting (when you fast you produce ketones) is also being used for cancer intervention, seizure prevention (epilepsy), and as a potential therapy for alzheimer’s disease, parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders.
A TEDx talk given by Mark Mattson, the current Chief of the Laboratory of Neuroscience, at the National Institute on Aging goes into detail about fasting, ketones, and how beneficial it is for the brain. He is also a professor of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University and one of the foremost researchers of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying multiple neurodegenerative disorders.
In 1923, scientist Otto Warburg hypothesized that cancer was caused by a metabolic process whereby cancer cells fuel their growth “by swallowing up enormous amounts of glucose [blood sugar] and breaking it down without oxygen.” Coined the Warburg Effect, the theory was considered controversial at the time, but the past few decades have sparked new interest in it and oncologists now use the dependence on glucose that cancer cells have to locate tumours within a patient’s body.
Warburg made his discovery around the same time the ketogenic diet was found to be beneficial for epilepsy. Studies have shown that when the body produces ketones, they form a protective barrier around the brain, which is why more and more paediatricians are recommending the diet for children with epilepsy. It has a huge success rate, but since fasting is neither marketable nor profitable, it receives little mainstream attention.
All of these are specific interventions for certain diseases, and they can be healthy. On a personal level, I believe fasting a few times a month is extremely healthy and can be very beneficial for the body. All of the studies in human and animal models show nothing but benefits. Keep in mind that while you fast, you also get the benefits of ketones.
This is far different from continuing on with a no carb, high fat diet where you are constantly producing ketones and burning fat. It doesn’t seem normal unless you have to do it for a specific intervention, like cancer. Despite the potential health benefits, the ‘ketogenic diet’ has become a fad with potential dangers that people should also be aware of.
The Five Reasons
Below is a list of points regarding the ketogenic diet from Michelle McMacken, an internal medicine physician, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the NYU School of Medicine, and Director of Bellevue Hospital Weight Management Clinic.
I came across these via her Instagram, which make it clear she does not support the diet:
1. That we know of, no population in history has ever thrived on a very-low-carb/high-fat diet. There is exactly zero scientific evidence that a keto diet is conducive to longevity & longstanding vitality – unlike a plant-centric diet, the foundation of the longest-lived people on earth.
2. A keto diet may cause short-term weight loss, but possibly at a serious price. A 2010 review found that low-carb, animal-based diets increased cardiovascular death by 14%, cancer death by 28%, & all-cause mortality by 23%- trends confirmed in other large studies.
3. A keto diet hasn’t been shown to prevent, control, or reverse type 2 diabetes in the long run. Avoiding carbs will temporarily lower your blood sugar if you have diabetes. But this simply masks the underlying problem, which is insulin resistance – ie. glucose in our blood can’t enter our cells & the liver overproduces sugar. This is NOT the fault of carbs from healthy foods – whole grains, legumes, fruit, or even starchy vegetables. In fact, a high-carb, high-fiber, plant-based diet is exceptionally protective against diabetes & can actually REVERSE insulin resistance & lower diabetes complications. In contrast, low-carb diets can promote diabetes over time, as they foster inflammation & fat buildup in our cells, causing insulin resistance.
4. Keto diet research is in its infancy, focusing on short-term blood results & body weight – not actual rates of disease or death. And some findings are concerning. LDL cholesterol levels tend to rise (or at best, stay the same) on keto diets. An overwhelming wealth of research shows that the higher the LDL, the higher the risk of cardiovascular disease.
5. A keto diet is low in refined grains & added sugar, which is great. But it also can be low in phytonutrients, antioxidants, & fiber, all of which have profound benefits, and it forbids some of the most powerfully health-promoting foods on earth – whole grains, legumes, & many fruits. To me, that’s just not good medicine.

The Takeaway
It’s great to see the world becoming more health conscious, it’s one of multiple contributing factors in raising our vibrational frequency, and feeling more ‘alive.’ That being said, a lot of ‘fads’ seem to pop up in this field, which are coupled with a great misunderstanding of how these specific diets, like the ketogenic diet, is supposed to be used. At the end of the day, balance is key, and it’s best to incorporate more organic fruits and vegetables in your diet, and completely cut out all processed foods, and substances like high fructose corn syrup etc. Being healthy is not hard, and it’s not complicated. If you’re going to incorporate a specific diet into your lifestyle, just make sure it’s not one that’s specifically designed to combat certain diseases, like the ketogenic diet.
