The Fairy Mythology: Illustrative of the Romance and Superstition of Various Countries [1870]
En sång om strålende Valhalla,
Om Gudar och Gudinnar alla.
TREGNER. A song of Vallhall’s bright abodes,
Of all the goddesses and gods.
THE ancient religion of Scandinavia, and probably of the whole Gotho-German race, consisted, like all other systems devised by man, in personifications of the various powers of nature and faculties of mind. Of this system in its fulness and perfection we possess no record. It is only from the poems of the elder or poetic Edda, [a] from the narratives of the later or prose Edda and the various Sagas or histories written in the Icelandic language, [b] that we can obtain any knowledge of it.
The poetic or Saemund’s Edda was, as is generally believed, collected about the end of the eleventh or beginning of the twelfth century by an Icelander named Saemund, and styled Hinns Fròda, or The Wise. It consists of a number of mythological and historical songs, the production of the ancient Scalds or poets, all, or the greater part, composed before the introduction of Christianity into the north. The measure of these venerable songs is alliterative rime, and they present not unfrequently poetic beauties of a high and striking character. [c]
The prose Edda is supposed to have been compiled in the thirteenth century by Snorro Sturleson, the celebrated historian of Norway. It is a history of the gods and their actions formed from the songs of the poetic Edda, and from other ancient poems, several stanzas of which are incorporated in it. Beside the preface and conclusion, it consists of two principal parts, the first consisting of the Gylfaginning (Gylfa’s Deception), or Hárs Lygi (Har’s i.e. Odin’s Fiction), and the Braga-raedur (Braga’s Narrative), each of which is divided into several Daemi-sagas or Illustrative Stories; and the second named the Kenningar or list of poetic names and periphrases. [d]
The Gylfa-ginning narrates that Gylfa king of Sweden, struck with the wisdom and power of the Aeser, [e] as Odin and his followers were called, journeyed in the likeness of an old man, and under the assumed name of Ganglar, to Asgard their chief residence, to inquire into and fathom their wisdom. Aware of his design, the Aeser by their magic art caused to arise before him a lofty and splendid palace, roofed with golden shields. At the gate he found a man who was throwing up and catching swords, seven of which were in the air at one time. This man inquires the name of the strange; whom he leads into the palace, where Ganglar sees a number of persons drinking and playing, and three thrones, each set higher than the other. On the thrones sat Har (High), Jafnhar (Equal-high), and Thridi (Third). Ganglar asks if there is any one there wise and learned. Har replies that he will not depart in safety if he knows more than they [f]. Ganglar then commences his interrogations, which embrace a variety of recondite subjects, and extend from the creation to the end of all things. To each he receives a satisfactory reply. At the last reply Ganglar hears a loud rush and noise: the magic illusion suddenly vanishes, and he finds himself alone on an extensive plain.
The Braga-raedur is the discourse of Braga to Aegir, the god of the sea, at the banquet of the Immortals. This part contains many tales of gods and heroes old, whose adventures had been sung by Skalds, of high renown and lofty genius.
Though both the Eddas were compiled by Christians, there appears to be very little reason for suspecting the compilers of having falsified or interpolated the mythology of their forefathers. Saemund’s Edda may be regarded as an Anthology of ancient Scandinavian poetry; and the author of the prose Edda (who it is plain did not always understand the true meaning of the tales he related) wrote it as a northern Pantheon and Gradus ad Parnassum, to supply poets with incidents, ornaments, and epithets. Fortunately they did so, or impenetrable darkness had involved the ancient religion of the Gothic stock!
Beside the Eddas, much information is to be derived from the various Sagas or northern histories. These Sagas, at times transmitting true historical events, at other times containing the wildest fictions of romance, preserve much valuable mythic lore, and the Ynglinga, Volsunga, Hervarar, and other Sagas, will furnish many important traits of northern mythology.
It is not intended here to attempt sounding the depths of Eddaic mythology, a subject so obscure, and concerning which so many and various opinions occur in the works of those who have occupied themselves with it. Suffice it to observe that it goes back to the most remote ages, and that two essential parts of it are the Alfar (Alfs or Elves) and the Duergar (Dwarfs), two classes of beings whose names continue to the present day in all the languages of the nations descended from the Gotho-German race.
“Our heathen forefathers,” says Thorlacius, [g] “believed, like the Pythagoreans, and the farther back in antiquity the more firmly, that the whole world was filled with spirits of various kinds, to whom they ascribed in general the same nature and properties as the Greeks did to their Daemons. These were divided into the Celestial and the Terrestrial, from their places of abode. The former were, according to the ideas of those times, of a good and elevated nature, and of a friendly disposition toward men, whence they also received the name of White or Light Alfs or Spirits. The latter, on the contrary, who were classified after their abodes in air, sea, and earth, were not regarded in so favourable a light. It was believed that they, particularly the land ones, the δαίμονες έπιχθόνιοι of the Greeks, constantly and on all occasions sought to torment or injure mankind, and that they had their dwelling partly on the earth in great thick woods, whence came the name Skovtrolde [h] (Wood Trolls), or in other desert and lonely places, partly in and under the ground, or in rocks and hills; these last were called Bjerg-Trolde (Hill Trolls): to the first, on account of their different nature, was given the name of Dverge (Dwarf’s), and Alve, whence the word Ellefolk, which is still in the Danish language. These Daemons, particularly the underground ones, were called Svartálfar, that is Black Spirits, and inasmuch as they did mischief, Trolls.”
This very nearly coincides with what is to be found in the Edda, except that there would appear to be some foundation for a distinction between the Dwarfs and the Dark Alfs. [i]
[a] Edda signifies grandmother. Some regard it as the feminine of othr, or odr, wisdom.
[b] This language is so called because still spoken in Iceland. Its proper name is the Norraena Tunga (northern tongue). It was the common language of the whole North.
[c] see Tales and Popular Fictions, chap. ix.
[d] It was first published by Resenius in 1665.
[e] By the Aeser are understood the Asiatics, who with Odin brought their arts and religion into Scandinavia. This derivation of the word, however, is rather dubious. Though possibly the population and religion of Scandinavia came originally from Asia there seems to be no reason whatever for putting any faith in the legend of Odin. It is not unlikely that the name of their gods, Aeser, gave birth to the whole theory. It is remarkable that the ancient Etrurians also should have called the gods Aesar.
[f] So the lötunn or Giant Vafthrudnir to Odin in the Vafthrudninual–Strophe vii.
[g] Thorlacius, Noget om Thor og hans Hammer, in the Skandinavisk Museum for 1803.
[h] Thorlacius, ut supra, says the thundering Thor was regarded as particularly inimical to the Skovtrolda, against whom be continually employed his mighty weapon. He thinks that the Bidental of the Romans, and the rites connected with it, seem to suppose a similar superstition, and that in the well-known passage of Horace,
Tu parum castis inimica mittes
Fulmina lucis,
the words parum castis lucis may mean groves or parts of woods, the haunt of unclean spirits or Skovtrolds, satyri lascivi et salaces. The word Trold will be explained below.
[i] The Dark Alfs were probably different from the Duergar, yet the language of the prose Edda is in some places such as to lead to a confusion of them. The following passage, however, seems to be decisive;
Náir, Dvergar
Ok Döck-A’lfar.
Hrafna-Galdr Othins, xxiv. 7.
Ghosts, Dwarfs
And Dark Alfs.
Yet the Scandinavian llterati appear unanimous in regarding them as the same. Grimm, however, agrees with us in viewing the Döck-Alfar as distinct from the Duergar. As the abode of these last is named Svartálfaheimr, lie thinks that the Svartálfar and the Duergar were the same.–Deutsche Mythologie, p. 413, seq. See below, Isle of Rűgen.

The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging Psychotropic (mind altering) drugs – a riveting tale of total deception without a single cure. If you’re shy (SAD “Social Anxiety Disorder”), tired, happy, depressed or full of life then they’ve now invented a supposed disease for each of those normal human moods where they have the supposed miracle pills which almost 100% of doctors will prescribe. People then go through life in an altered mental state suffering adverse side effects.
It’s the story of big money drugs that fuel a $330 billion psychiatric industry, without a single cure. The cost in human terms is even greater, these drugs now kill an estimated 42,000 people every year. And the death count keeps rising. Containing more than 175 interviews with lawyers, mental health experts, the families of victims and the survivors themselves, this riveting documentary rips the mask off psychotropic drugging and exposes a brutal but well-entrenched money-making machine.

renegadetribune--2020-03-03--Draining the Intelligence Community Swamp

The appointment of U.S .
Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as interim Director of National Intelligence ( DNI ) , a position that he will apparently hold simultaneously with the ambassadorship , has been criticized from all sides due to his inexperience , history of bad judgement and partisanship .
The White House is now claiming that he will be replaced by Texas Congressman John Ratcliffe after the interim appointment is over , though sources in Washington suggest that Ratcliffe might have some problems in being approved by Congress .
But such criticism , including my own , has somewhat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what we are already seeing is a purge orchestrated by Grenell of federal employees in the White House and national security apparatus who are holdovers from the Obama Administration and who are therefore considered to be unreliable .
That is why Grenell will continue to be ambassador as well as DNI as it is envisioned that his wrecking ball will have completed its task within six months and he will be able to return to Berlin , in spite of the fact that he is despised in Germany and many officials there even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ characteristically doesn ’ t appear to bother the White House at all .
Presumably many current senior employees in the intelligence community ( IC ) will be given non-jobs away from the White House and replaced by new appointees who are distinguished by their loyalty to the president , not by their accomplishments or skills .
That means that competence will be secondary , if not irrelevant .
It should be assumed that many of the new hires will be drawn from the pool of neoconservatives that proliferated in the George W. Bush @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and NSA to be evil organizations will , of course , welcome the de facto destruction of both organizations for ideological reasons .
But those critics should bear in mind that there are potentially serious consequences to the possible changes .
First of all , if one thinks that the illegal surveillance , regime change programs and assassination plots that have come out of the IC over the past twenty years have been a disgrace , just think for a moment how bad it could get if the security organs begin to ignore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assigned mission becomes de facto protecting the president and everything that he seeks to do .
Second , having large numbers of new employees learning on-the-job will mean that the quality of intelligence produced will go down .
Again , some will object that the quality is already bad , but a careful analysis of what has gone wrong since 9/11 would suggest that the real problem has been political , that information is cherry picked or even falsified by the highly politicized IC leadership to support a certain agenda and is then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supporting the White House .
This has gone on since George W. Bush , if not before , but under Trump it is operating largely out in the open .
A third point is that the people who will be in charge of what is characteristically being described as “ draining the swamp ” are not necessarily acting in support of identifiable national interests .
They are ideologues who are acting to create a policy decision-making process whereby the president of the United States will be empowered to do more-or-less whatever he or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national security and foreign affairs .
That continues what has been happening in any event since 2002 , but it creates a very bad precedent moving forward .
And it pari passu strengthens what has been one of the most disgraceful aspects of Trump foreign policy , the incessant and irresponsible pandering to Israel .
Whitney Webb of Mint Press News has explored the depth of Grenell ’ s engagement with Israel and with Zionist individuals and groups in the United States .
There is already a very top-heavy presence of Israel advocates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proven to be the most pro-Israel ever , even exceeding the completely suborned Bill Clinton .
Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , both Christian Zionists head the list , but there is also presidential special advisor Jared Kushner , Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and the Mormon head of the National Security Council Robert O ’ Brien .
The State Department is fully staffed with Jewish Americans who are ardently pro-Israel at every level that relates to Middle East policy , to include David Schenker as head @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Nathan Sales as Counterterrorism Coordinator .
Elan Carr fills the bizarre position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism and Cherrie Daniels is the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues .
Morgan Ortagus is State Department spokesman .
In Congress American Jews considered to be strong supporters of Israel are prominent in Committees that deal with national security or the Middle East .
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has described himself as “ shomer ” or “ defender ” of Israel in Congress .
Congressman Adam Schiff , head of the House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attempted impeachment of Trump .
Eliot Engel chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee , where he is joined by Brad Sherman , Ted Deutch , Andy Levin and Lee Zeldin .
The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism , chaired by Max Rose , an Israel partisan , recently held hearings about “ confronting the rise in antisemitism and domestic terrorism.
” And then there is the president himself and his paymaster Las Vegas casino multi-billionaire Sheldon Adelson , who have been the driving forces behind moving the U.S. Embassy from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ annexation of the Golan Heights , and dropping the description of the Israeli occupation settlements as “ illegal.
” It was all accomplished while closing the PLO representative offices in Washington , defunding the UN Relief and Works Agency ( UNRWA ) , and eliminating security assistance to the Palestinians .
Along the way Trump ’ s Zionist mouthpiece Ambassador David Friedman has endorsed every Israeli atrocity and war crime , to include the mass shooting of unarmed Gazan civilian protesters .
Trump has also been promoting a “ take it or leave @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Palestinians only a small bit of non-contiguous West Bank land completely surrounded by Israel with no actual sovereignty .
Fifty European foreign ministers and senior officials have recently denounced the plan as little more than “ apartheid.
” Webb observes that “ …overlooked…are Grenell ’ s ties to the powerful American pro-Israel lobby and Israeli politicians alike , including organizations and individuals with a history of espionage and blackmail against the United States .
Grenell is merely the latest example in a series of appointments over the past few years that have seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lobby rise to top positions in the U.S. intelligence community , including the NSA ’ s current director of Cybersecurity Anne Neuberger as well as the leaders of the President ’ s Intelligence Advisory Board ( PIAB ) .
” Grenell ’ s consulting firm Capitol Media Partners has done work for Arthur Finkelstein and Associates , which Webb describes as “ a firm of the late Republican political operative of the same name.
” Finkelstein has been directly involved in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ’ s first campaign in 1996 and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and politicians in Israel , to include that of the extremist Avigdor Lieberman .
His political philosophy is that “ the only way to win an election is by running a negative campaign.
” Shortly after becoming Ambassador to Germany , Grenell arranged a meeting with Netanyahu at Berlin Airport .
Afterwards , Netanyahu told the media that Grenell is a “ big fan of Israel.
” For his part , Grenell has said that American support for Israel is a “ biblical mandate , ” adding that he has visited the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” The Zionist Organization of America ( ZOA ) has also “ strongly praised ” Grenell ’ s appointment as acting DNI .
ZOA president Morton Klein issued a statement : “ I am proud to say that during my long personal friendship with Ambassador Grenell , it became powerfully clear to me that Grenell is…a man who understands the importance of our country ’ s great alliance with Israel in promoting U.S. security interests .
There has never been a better friend of a strong U.S-Israel relationship than Ambassador Grenell.
” Meanwhile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Anne Neuberger , an Israeli by birth who is married to Yehuda Neuberger , chairman of AIPAC ’ s executive council in Baltimore .
Her job at NSA places her in charge of a division that “ unifies NSA ’ s foreign intelligence and cyberdefense missions…to prevent and eradicate threats to national security systems and critical infrastructure.

By Philip Giraldi
The appointment of U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell as interim Director of National Intelligence (DNI), a position that he will apparently hold simultaneously with the ambassadorship, has been criticized from all sides due to his inexperience, history of bad judgement and partisanship. The White House is now claiming that he will be replaced by Texas Congressman John Ratcliffe after the interim appointment is over, though sources in Washington suggest that Ratcliffe might have some problems in being approved by Congress.
But such criticism, including my own, has somewhat missed the point, which is that what we are already seeing is a purge orchestrated by Grenell of federal employees in the White House and national security apparatus who are holdovers from the Obama Administration and who are therefore considered to be unreliable. That is why Grenell will continue to be ambassador as well as DNI as it is envisioned that his wrecking ball will have completed its task within six months and he will be able to return to Berlin, in spite of the fact that he is despised in Germany and many officials there even refuse to meet with him, which characteristically doesn’t appear to bother the White House at all.
Presumably many current senior employees in the intelligence community (IC) will be given non-jobs away from the White House and replaced by new appointees who are distinguished by their loyalty to the president, not by their accomplishments or skills. That means that competence will be secondary, if not irrelevant. It should be assumed that many of the new hires will be drawn from the pool of neoconservatives that proliferated in the George W. Bush administration.
Many who believe the CIA and NSA to be evil organizations will, of course, welcome the de facto destruction of both organizations for ideological reasons. But those critics should bear in mind that there are potentially serious consequences to the possible changes. First of all, if one thinks that the illegal surveillance, regime change programs and assassination plots that have come out of the IC over the past twenty years have been a disgrace, just think for a moment how bad it could get if the security organs begin to ignore all constitutional and legal restraints after their assigned mission becomes de facto protecting the president and everything that he seeks to do.
Second, having large numbers of new employees learning on-the-job will mean that the quality of intelligence produced will go down. Again, some will object that the quality is already bad, but a careful analysis of what has gone wrong since 9/11 would suggest that the real problem has been political, that information is cherry picked or even falsified by the highly politicized IC leadership to support a certain agenda and is then spun to arrive at a particular conclusion supporting the White House. This has gone on since George W. Bush, if not before, but under Trump it is operating largely out in the open.
A third point is that the people who will be in charge of what is characteristically being described as “draining the swamp” are not necessarily acting in support of identifiable national interests. They are ideologues who are acting to create a policy decision-making process whereby the president of the United States will be empowered to do more-or-less whatever he or she chooses to do in terms of national security and foreign affairs. That continues what has been happening in any event since 2002, but it creates a very bad precedent moving forward. And it pari passu strengthens what has been one of the most disgraceful aspects of Trump foreign policy, the incessant and irresponsible pandering to Israel.
Whitney Webb of Mint Press News has explored the depth of Grenell’s engagement with Israel and with Zionist individuals and groups in the United States. There is already a very top-heavy presence of Israel advocates in a Trump administration that has already proven to be the most pro-Israel ever, even exceeding the completely suborned Bill Clinton. Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, both Christian Zionists head the list, but there is also presidential special advisor Jared Kushner, Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin and the Mormon head of the National Security Council Robert O’Brien.
The State Department is fully staffed with Jewish Americans who are ardently pro-Israel at every level that relates to Middle East policy, to include David Schenker as head of the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs and Nathan Sales as Counterterrorism Coordinator. Elan Carr fills the bizarre position of Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism and Cherrie Daniels is the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues. Morgan Ortagus is State Department spokesman.
In Congress American Jews considered to be strong supporters of Israel are prominent in Committees that deal with national security or the Middle East. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has described himself as “shomer” or “defender” of Israel in Congress. Congressman Adam Schiff, head of the House Intelligence Committee, recently featured in the attempted impeachment of Trump. Eliot Engel chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he is joined by Brad Sherman, Ted Deutch, Andy Levin and Lee Zeldin. The House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism, chaired by Max Rose, an Israel partisan, recently held hearings about “ confronting the rise in antisemitism and domestic terrorism.”
And then there is the president himself and his paymaster Las Vegas casino multi-billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who have been the driving forces behind moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, endorsing Israeli annexation of the Golan Heights, and dropping the description of the Israeli occupation settlements as “illegal.” It was all accomplished while closing the PLO representative offices in Washington, defunding the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), and eliminating security assistance to the Palestinians. Along the way Trump’s Zionist mouthpiece Ambassador David Friedman has endorsed every Israeli atrocity and war crime, to include the mass shooting of unarmed Gazan civilian protesters.
Trump has also been promoting a “take it or leave it” peace plan that permits the Palestinians only a small bit of non-contiguous West Bank land completely surrounded by Israel with no actual sovereignty. Fifty European foreign ministers and senior officials have recently denounced the plan as little more than “apartheid.”
Webb observes that “…overlooked…are Grenell’s ties to the powerful American pro-Israel lobby and Israeli politicians alike, including organizations and individuals with a history of espionage and blackmail against the United States. Grenell is merely the latest example in a series of appointments over the past few years that have seen individuals with deep ties to the pro-Israel lobby rise to top positions in the U.S. intelligence community, including the NSA’s current director of Cybersecurity Anne Neuberger as well as the leaders of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB).”
Grenell’s consulting firm Capitol Media Partners has done work for Arthur Finkelstein and Associates, which Webb describes as “a firm of the late Republican political operative of the same name.” Finkelstein has been directly involved in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s first campaign in 1996 and has since worked with far-right wing parties and politicians in Israel, to include that of the extremist Avigdor Lieberman. His political philosophy is that “the only way to win an election is by running a negative campaign.”
Shortly after becoming Ambassador to Germany, Grenell arranged a meeting with Netanyahu at Berlin Airport. Afterwards, Netanyahu told the media that Grenell is a “big fan of Israel.” For his part, Grenell has said that American support for Israel is a “biblical mandate,” adding that he has visited the country “more times than he can count.”
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has also “strongly praised” Grenell’s appointment as acting DNI. ZOA president Morton Klein issued a statement: “I am proud to say that during my long personal friendship with Ambassador Grenell, it became powerfully clear to me that Grenell is…a man who understands the importance of our country’s great alliance with Israel in promoting U.S. security interests. There has never been a better friend of a strong U.S-Israel relationship than Ambassador Grenell.”
Meanwhile over at the NSA, there is Anne Neuberger, an Israeli by birth who is married to Yehuda Neuberger, chairman of AIPAC’s executive council in Baltimore. Her job at NSA places her in charge of a division that “unifies NSA’s foreign intelligence and cyberdefense missions…to prevent and eradicate threats to national security systems and critical infrastructure.” That would include the U.S. election infrastructure.
Back at the White House, both the head and deputy of the PIAB, which promotes itself as having “immense and long-lasting impacts on the structure, management, and operations of U.S. intelligence,” have similar close ties to Israel. PIAB “exists exclusively to assist the President by providing him with an independent source of advice on the effectiveness with which the Intelligence Community is meeting the Nation’s intelligence needs, and the vigor and insight with which the community plans for the future. The Board has access to all information needed to perform its functions and has direct access to the President.”
PIAB Chairman Stephen Feinberg, the billionaire owner of Cerberus capital management, is a close friend of Jared Kushner, and has been involved in major investments in Israel as well as with Israeli partners. Cerberus owns the scandal-ridden US national security contractor DynCorp. The New York Times has claimed that Cerberus was involved in “orchestrating secretive deals that transgressed legal and ethical boundaries.” Feinberg’s capacity to oversee the ethically-challenged IC is consequently troubling. Through Dyncorp, he has also been linked to Saudi intelligence.
The PIAB’s current deputy is Samantha Ravich, who previously was an employee of the notorious pro-Israel lobby group Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), a spin-off of AIPAC organized in 1984 to protect the parent organization when it was investigated for spying on Israel’s behalf against the U.S. government. Ravich also is a senior advisor to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), which works directly with Israel’s government. Per Webb, Ravich also “worked for the consulting firm of Michael Chertoff, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security whose mother worked with Israel’s Mossad.”
Webb also notes how Ravich has specifically promoted “a ‘cyber project’ to the U.S. Senate that would protect member countries from cyber threats but exclude nations that endorse or fail to condemn the nonviolent Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement that supports Palestinian rights and Israeli compliance with international law.”
The presence of many American Jews and Christian Zionists with close ties to Israel in the upper levels of the White House, State Department, the Intelligence Community, the Pentagon and the National Security Council is not a new phenomenon, though the numbers of such “players” has increased. It is in part a process of positioning whereby Zionists already in place bring in other Zionists and godfather them into key jobs in the bureaucracy. Note, for example, how Richard Perle brought in Doug Feith and Paul Wolfowitz to the Pentagon, with disastrous consequences that led to the Iraq war.
When challenged, the individuals who fill the posts in question tend to fall back on the claim that the United States and Israel have more-or-less the same security interests, which is demonstrably false. Webb notes correctly that the presence of numerous Israel-firsters in the national security apparatus means that the foxes will be guarding the hen house. Ostensibly alert to any signs of so-called “foreign interference” in the 2020 election, they will be completely blind to what Israel is up to. Noam Chomsky once observed that “First of all, if you’re interested in foreign interference in our elections, whatever the Russians may have done barely counts or weighs in the balance as compared with what another state does, openly, brazenly and with enormous support. Israeli intervention in US elections vastly overwhelms anything the Russians may have done…” There is little to add beyond that, but one has to wonder why the Administration, aided and abetted by congress and the media, persists in promoting and placing in sensitive positions individuals whose ultimate loyalty is to a foreign country.

Biography
By Terry Riggs (published November 1997) | Tate
Born in London, Hughes was educated at Archbishop Tenison’s Grammar School, and entered the School of Design, Somerset House, London in 1846, studying under Alfred Stevens. In 1847 he won an art studentship at the Royal Academy Schools, exhibiting his first picture, Musidora, at the Academy two years later.
Although a Pre-Raphaelite sympathiser and intimate of their circle, Hughes was never a member of the group. He converted to Pre-Raphaelitism in 1850 after reading the Pre-Raphaelite magazine The Germ; in the same year he met William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox Brown. He exhibited his first Pre-Raphaelite painting, Ophelia (Manchester City Art Gallery), in 1852, and met John Everett Millais that year. He produced some of his best-known Pre-Raphaelite works during the 1850s, including April Love, 1855-6 (Tate Gallery N02476) and The Long Engagement, c.1854-9 (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery). From about 1852 to 1858 he shared a studio with the sculptor Alexander Munro.
Hughes married Tryphena Foord in 1855, eventually having five children. In 1855 he also began a successful career as an illustrator, becoming associated particularly with the works of Thomas Hughes, George MacDonald and Christina Rossetti. He devoted much of the subsequent two decades to illustrating. He was one of the contributors to the Oxford Union decorations in 1857. He moved from London in 1858 and in 1862 made a short visit to Italy. He exhibited for the last time at the Royal Academy in 1908. He died at Kew, near London. A sale of his works took place at Christie’s in 1921.
Retrospective exhibitions of Hughes’s work were held by the Fine Arts Society in 1900, Rembrandt Galleries in 1904, Walker Galleries (memorial exhibition) in 1916, and the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff and Leighton House, London in 1971.

It’s a HOLOHOAX (Don’t Be Fooled) Pt5

Note- “ IT ’ S A HOLOHOAX ( don ’ t be fooled ) ” are series of blog posts that thoroughly expose the Jewish Holocaust lie .
There were “ Nazi Death Camps ” and “ Nazi Gas Chambers ” .
You have been fooled !
This is your opportunity to break free of the mind control you have been taught in school and in the media .
You have been deceived !
We all have… but never again .
It has been said that it is easier to believe a lie one has heard a hundred times , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before .
We have heard 6 million lies about the “ Holocaust ” .
The truth about the Holohoax has been hidden .
Read below to uncover the cover-up !
Note : This blog series is derived from “ Did Six Million Really Die ?
” book by Richard E. Harwood ( 1974 ) with many additional sources , originally presented in DJ Noble Protagonist ’ s E-book ( The Battle to preserve Western Civilization ) : https : //archive.org/details/ @ nobleprotagonist It is true that in 1945 , Allied propaganda did claim @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those in Germany itself , were “ Death Camps , ” but not for long .
On this question the American historian Professor Harry Elmer Barnes wrote , “ These camps were first presented as those in Germany , such as Dachau , Belsen , Buchenwald , Sachsenhausen and Dora , but it was soon demonstrated that there had been no systematic extermination in those camps .
Attention was then moved to Auschwitz , Treblinka , Belzec , Chelmno , Jonowska , Tarnow , Ravensbruck , Mauthausen , Brezeznia and Birkenau , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to have been extended as needed.
” What had happened was that certain honest observers among the British & American occupation forces in Germany , while admitting that many camp inmates had died of disease & starvation in the final months of the war , had found no evidence after all of “ gas chambers.
” As a result , eastern camps in the Russian zone of occupation , such as Auschwitz & Treblinka , gradually came to the fore as horrific centers of “ extermination ” , though no one was permitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lasted almost to the present day .
Here in these camps it was all supposed to have happened , but with the Iron Curtain brought down firmly over them it was difficult to verify such charges .
The Communists claimed that four million people died at Auschwitz in gigantic gas chambers accommodating 2,000 people , and no one could argue to the contrary .
In 1984 in Toronto , Canada , German-born publisher , Ernst Zundel , distributed his own edition of the pamphlet , “ Did Six Million Really Die ?
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Members of Parliament ; members of the clergy ; journalists and broadcasters .
A year later he was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to 15 months imprisonment followed by automatic deportation , after a Jewish complaint under an obscure law prohibiting the publication of “ false news ” .
This sentence was passed even though both the defense and the prosecution agreed that the bulk of “ Did Six Million Really Die ?
” was correct and only small points were in dispute .
“ The Leuchter Report ” was actually commissioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his defense , after his 1985 conviction was overturned by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1987 , and a retrial was ordered to commence in January , 1988 .
In February 1988 , the first forensic examination of the alleged execution gas chambers at Auschwitz , Birkenau and Majdanek , was conducted by Fred Leuchter and subsequently published as “ The Leuchter Report ” .
Fred Leuchter , was an engineer who specializes in the design & fabrication of execution hardware used in prisons throughout the United States .
One of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gas chamber at the Missouri State Penitentiary at Jefferson City .
In essence Fred Leuchter took samples from the walls of the alleged gas chambers and also from the walls of the de-lousing chambers so he could compare the claim that rather than Zyklon B being used to gas inmates of the various camps , it was actually used to de-louse the inmates clothing of lice in order to prevent outbreaks of typhus .
Leuchter ’ s results were overwhelming .
He could find no trace of Zyklon B in the walls of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was overwhelmingly prevalent in the walls of the de-lousing chambers where the inmates ’ clothing was cleaned of lice .
The Leuchter Report concludes , “ After reviewing all the material and inspecting all of the sites at Auschwitz , Birkenau and Majdanek , your author finds the evidence overwhelming ; there were no execution gas chambers at any of these locations .
It is the best engineering opinion of this author that the alleged gas chambers at the inspected sites could not have been , or now , be utilized or seriously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Despite Fred Leuchter ’ s neutral position in questioning the official version of the “ Holocaust ” and his evidence based upon the exact science of forensic chemistry , Ernst Zundel was once again found guilty , albeit this time he was given a nine month sentence as opposed to the 15 month one he was given previously .
He was granted bail after signing a “ gag order ” , promising not to write or speak about the “ Holocaust ” .
In 2003 , Ernst Zundel was arrested at his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eastern Tennessee .
U.S. authorities seized him on the pretext that he had violated immigration regulations , or had missed an interview date with US immigration authorities , even though he had entered the US legally , was married to an American citizen , had no criminal record , and was acting diligently , and in full accord with the law , to secure status as a permanent legal resident .
After being held for two weeks , he was deported to Canada .
For two years he was held in solitary confinement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a supposed threat to national security .
In 2005 , Zundel was deported to Germany , just as Jewish groups had been demanding .
Upon his arrival at Frankfurt airport , he was immediately arrested and taken to Mannheim prison to await trial for the “ thought crime ” of “ denying the Holocaust.
” A few months later , the public prosecutor in Mannheim formally charged Zundel with inciting “ hatred ” by having written or distributed texts that “ approve , deny or play down ” genocidal actions carried out by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which “ denigrate the memory of the ( Jewish ) dead.
” .
Zundel ’ s three-month trial concluded in 2007 , when a court in Mannheim sentenced him to five years imprisonment for the crime of “ popular incitement ” under Germany ’ s notorious “ Holocaust denial ” statute .
The court upheld efforts by German authorities to punish individuals for writings that are legal in the country ( Canada ) where they are published .
Jewish groups quickly , and predictably , expressed approval of the verdict .
Zundel was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from returning to either Canada or the United States , he went to his family home in Germany ’ s Black Forest region , where he resided until his death .
Meanwhile , Fred Leuchter was also “ persecuted ” & blacklisted by promoters of the Holohoax .
In 1991 , he was arrested & jailed in Germany for giving an anti-Holocaust lecture for Günther Deckert , a well-known political party leader .
Leuchter was allowed out on bail .
He returned to the U.S. and chose not to go back to Germany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lost his livelihood as a result .
Note : In a 1985 court case , Dr. William Lindsey testified under oath that the Auschwitz gassing story is physically impossible .
Based on his careful examination of the alleged gas chambers at Auschwitz , Birkenau and Majdanek , and on his years of experience , he declared , “ I have come to the conclusion that no one was willfully or purposefully killed with Zyklon B in this manner .
I consider it absolutely impossible.
” Note : When American & British forces overran @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 1945 , they were followed by troops charged with discovering and securing any evidence of German war crimes .
Among them was Dr. Charles Larson , one of America ’ s leading forensic pathologists , who was assigned to the US Army ’ s Judge Advocate General ’ s Department .
As part of a US War Crimes Investigation Team , Dr. Larson performed autopsies at Dachau and some twenty other German camps , examining on some days more than 100 corpses .
After his grim work at Dachau , he was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prosecutors .
In a 1980 newspaper interview Dr. Larson confirmed that there “ never was a case of poison gas uncovered.
” Germar Rudolf was born on October 29 , 1964 , in Limburg , Germany .
He studied chemistry at Bonn University , where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist .
From 1990-1993 , he prepared a PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart .
Parallel to this and in his spare time , Rudolf re-examined Auschwitz , Birkenau and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and mortar samples of delousing chambers & alleged “ gas chambers ” for traces of Zyklon B .
Following the pioneering work of Fred Leuchter , Germar put the final forensic nail into the coffin of the Auschwitz story with his 1993 expert report , The Rudolf Report , which proved the “ Holocaust ” to be a Holohoax .
Even though this book on Auschwitz was scientific in nature and utterly apolitical , Rudolf ’ s home & office were raided three times ; his computers & papers seized .
In 1994 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Germany for his expert report .
As a scientist , he found the “ gassing ” claims to be scientifically untenable .
Rudolf was found guilty and convicted to 14 month imprisonment .
As a result , the University of Stuttgart denied him to pass his final PhD exam .
Rudolf tried to avoid serving this prison term by going into British exile with his young wife and two babies .

Note- “IT’S A HOLOHOAX (don’t be fooled)” are series of blog posts that thoroughly expose the Jewish Holocaust lie. There were no “Nazi Death Camps” and no “Nazi Gas Chambers”. You have been fooled! This is your opportunity to break free of the mind control you have been taught in school and in the media. You have been deceived! We all have… but never again.
It has been said that it is easier to believe a lie one has heard a hundred times, than a truth one has never heard before. We have heard 6 million lies about the “Holocaust”. The truth about the Holohoax has been hidden. Read below to uncover the cover-up!

“NAZI DEATH CAMPS”
It is true that in 1945, Allied propaganda did claim that all the concentration camps, particularly those in Germany itself, were “Death Camps,” but not for long. On this question the American historian Professor Harry Elmer Barnes wrote, “These camps were first presented as those in Germany, such as Dachau, Belsen, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen and Dora, but it was soon demonstrated that there had been no systematic extermination in those camps. Attention was then moved to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Chelmno, Jonowska, Tarnow, Ravensbruck, Mauthausen, Brezeznia and Birkenau, which does not exhaust the list that appears to have been extended as needed.”
What had happened was that certain honest observers among the British & American occupation forces in Germany, while admitting that many camp inmates had died of disease & starvation in the final months of the war, had found no evidence after all of “gas chambers.”
As a result, eastern camps in the Russian zone of occupation, such as Auschwitz & Treblinka, gradually came to the fore as horrific centers of “extermination”, though no one was permitted to see them. This tendency has lasted almost to the present day.
Here in these camps it was all supposed to have happened, but with the Iron Curtain brought down firmly over them it was difficult to verify such charges. The Communists claimed that four million people died at Auschwitz in gigantic gas chambers accommodating 2,000 people, and no one could argue to the contrary.
THE LEUCHTER REPORT
In 1984 in Toronto, Canada, German-born publisher, Ernst Zundel, distributed his own edition of the pamphlet, “Did Six Million Really Die?”, and sent copies out to Canadian Members of Parliament; members of the clergy; journalists and broadcasters. A year later he was subsequently put on trial and sentenced to 15 months imprisonment followed by automatic deportation, after a Jewish complaint under an obscure law prohibiting the publication of “false news”.
This sentence was passed even though both the defense and the prosecution agreed that the bulk of “Did Six Million Really Die?” was correct and only small points were in dispute.
“The Leuchter Report” was actually commissioned by Ernst Zundel, to act in his defense, after his 1985 conviction was overturned by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1987, and a retrial was ordered to commence in January, 1988.
In February 1988, the first forensic examination of the alleged execution gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, was conducted by Fred Leuchter and subsequently published as “The Leuchter Report”.
Fred Leuchter, was an engineer who specializes in the design & fabrication of execution hardware used in prisons throughout the United States. One of his projects was the design of a new gas chamber at the Missouri State Penitentiary at Jefferson City.
In essence Fred Leuchter took samples from the walls of the alleged gas chambers and also from the walls of the de-lousing chambers so he could compare the claim that rather than Zyklon B being used to gas inmates of the various camps, it was actually used to de-louse the inmates clothing of lice in order to prevent outbreaks of typhus.
Leuchter’s results were overwhelming. He could find no trace of Zyklon B in the walls of the alleged gas chambers, yet it was overwhelmingly prevalent in the walls of the de-lousing chambers where the inmates’ clothing was cleaned of lice.
The Leuchter Report concludes, “After reviewing all the material and inspecting all of the sites at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, your author finds the evidence overwhelming; there were no execution gas chambers at any of these locations. It is the best engineering opinion of this author that the alleged gas chambers at the inspected sites could not have been, or now, be utilized or seriously considered to function as execution gas chambers.”
Despite Fred Leuchter’s neutral position in questioning the official version of the “Holocaust” and his evidence based upon the exact science of forensic chemistry, Ernst Zundel was once again found guilty, albeit this time he was given a nine month sentence as opposed to the 15 month one he was given previously. He was granted bail after signing a “gag order”, promising not to write or speak about the “Holocaust”.
In 2003, Ernst Zundel was arrested at his quiet home in the mountain region of eastern Tennessee. U.S. authorities seized him on the pretext that he had violated immigration regulations, or had missed an interview date with US immigration authorities, even though he had entered the US legally, was married to an American citizen, had no criminal record, and was acting diligently, and in full accord with the law, to secure status as a permanent legal resident.
After being held for two weeks, he was deported to Canada. For two years he was held in solitary confinement in the Toronto West Detention Centre as a supposed threat to national security.
In 2005, Zundel was deported to Germany, just as Jewish groups had been demanding. Upon his arrival at Frankfurt airport, he was immediately arrested and taken to Mannheim prison to await trial for the “thought crime” of “denying the Holocaust.”
A few months later, the public prosecutor in Mannheim formally charged Zundel with inciting “hatred” by having written or distributed texts that “approve, deny or play down” genocidal actions carried out by Germany’s wartime regime, and which “denigrate the memory of the (Jewish) dead.” .
Zundel’s three-month trial concluded in 2007, when a court in Mannheim sentenced him to five years imprisonment for the crime of “popular incitement” under Germany’s notorious “Holocaust denial” statute. The court upheld efforts by German authorities to punish individuals for writings that are legal in the country (Canada) where they are published. Jewish groups quickly, and predictably, expressed approval of the verdict.
Zundel was released from prison in 2010. Banned from returning to either Canada or the United States, he went to his family home in Germany’s Black Forest region, where he resided until his death.
Meanwhile, Fred Leuchter was also “persecuted” & blacklisted by promoters of the Holohoax. In 1991, he was arrested & jailed in Germany for giving an anti-Holocaust lecture for Günther Deckert, a well-known political party leader. Leuchter was allowed out on bail. He returned to the U.S. and chose not to go back to Germany to stand trial. Nonetheless, he lost his livelihood as a result.
The Allied Committee of Inquiry has to date proven that no poison gas was ever used to kill prisoners in the following concentration camps… Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Flossenburg, Gross-Rosen, Mauthausen, and satellite camps.. Natzweller, Neuengamme, Niederhagen, Ravensbruck, Sachsenhausen, Stutthoff, Theresienstadt. In all cases where gassings were alleged, it could be proven that torture was used to extract confessions, and witnesses have lied. Any former inmate who, during their debriefing continues to allege that Poison gas was used to murder people, in particular Jews, are to be reported to this office, and if they insist on lying further, they are to be charged with perjury.” -Major Miller, Commanding Officer Allied Military Police Vienna
Note: In a 1985 court case, Dr. William Lindsey testified under oath that the Auschwitz gassing story is physically impossible. Based on his careful examination of the alleged gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek, and on his years of experience, he declared, “I have come to the conclusion that no one was willfully or purposefully killed with Zyklon B in this manner. I consider it absolutely impossible.”
Note: When American & British forces overran Western & Central Germany in the spring of 1945, they were followed by troops charged with discovering and securing any evidence of German war crimes. Among them was Dr. Charles Larson, one of America’s leading forensic pathologists, who was assigned to the US Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Department. As part of a US War Crimes Investigation Team, Dr. Larson performed autopsies at Dachau and some twenty other German camps, examining on some days more than 100 corpses. After his grim work at Dachau, he was questioned for three days by US Army prosecutors. In a 1980 newspaper interview Dr. Larson confirmed that there “never was a case of poison gas uncovered.”
FINAL FORENSIC NAIL IN THE COFFIN – AUSCHWITZ STORY
Germar Rudolf was born on October 29, 1964, in Limburg, Germany. He studied chemistry at Bonn University, where he graduated in 1989 as a Diplom-Chemist. From 1990-1993, he prepared a PhD thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State research in conjunction with the University of Stuttgart. Parallel to this and in his spare time, Rudolf re-examined Auschwitz, Birkenau and other installations and buildings, testing brick and mortar samples of delousing chambers & alleged “gas chambers” for traces of Zyklon B.
Following the pioneering work of Fred Leuchter, Germar put the final forensic nail into the coffin of the Auschwitz story with his 1993 expert report, The Rudolf Report, which proved the “Holocaust” to be a Holohoax. Even though this book on Auschwitz was scientific in nature and utterly apolitical, Rudolf’s home & office were raided three times; his computers & papers seized.
In 1994 & 1995 he was charged and tried in Germany for his expert report. As a scientist, he found the “gassing” claims to be scientifically untenable. Rudolf was found guilty and convicted to 14 month imprisonment. As a result, the University of Stuttgart denied him to pass his final PhD exam.
Rudolf tried to avoid serving this prison term by going into British exile with his young wife and two babies. There he started a small revisionist outlet for German language material, Castle Hill Publishers, and VHO.org, a multilingual website, which within a few years outgrew other revisionist websites by size & traffic. In early 1999, due to the permanent persecutorial pressure, his wife filed for divorce and returned to Germany with their two babies.
When Germany wanted to have Rudolf extradited from Britain in 1999, he fled to the United States, where he applied for political asylum. While his case wound its way through the U.S. legal system, Rudolf expanded his publishing activities into English language material, for instance by launching the ambitious “Holocaust Handbook Series” [linked at the top of this article].
In 2004 Rudolf married again, this time a U.S. citizen, and soon became the father of a young baby daughter. Immediately after this marriage was recognized as genuine by the U.S. Immigration Services in October 2005, and at a time when a hearing of his asylum case was just being scheduled by a U.S. Federal Court, the U.S. government had Rudolf arrested and deported to Germany.
Hence, his asylum hearing which took place in absentia a few months later was nothing but a farce. In Germany, Rudolf was duly arrested and put on trial again for his revisionist publishing activities abroad. Although Rudolf’s activities had been perfectly legal both in the United Kingdom and the United States, Germany nevertheless applied German censorship laws and sentenced Rudolf to another 30 months imprisonment.
On July 5, 2009, Rudolf was released from prison. After a legal battle against the U.S. government lasting almost two years, Rudolf finally succeeded in obtaining an immigrant visa for the U.S. He has been reunited with his wife & daughter since August, 2011.
Note: In 1995, one of France’s most influential & respected magazines, L’Express, acknowledged that “everything is false” about the Auschwitz “gas chamber” that for decades has been shown to tens of thousands of tourists yearly.
Note: On page 541 of (Jewish historian) Olga Wormser-Migot’s thesis on the system of National Socialists concentration camps, there is a passage on the “gas chambers”. There, the reader will find three additional surprises. According to Olga, the “problem” lies in attempting to determine whether the “gas chambers” at Ravensbrück (Germany) & Mauthausen (Austria) ever existed; she concludes that they didn’t.

What To Expect From FEMA After A Disaster ( Spoiler : It ’ s Not Good )

By Mac Slavo
As Americans scramble to prepare themselves for the possibility that the coronavirus outbreak becomes a pandemic, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is also preparing. FEMA is “aware of the gravity of the situation” and ready to assist in a coronavirus response.
FEMA officials are preparing for an “infectious disease emergency declaration” by the president that would allow the agency to provide disaster relief funding to state and local governments, as well as federal assistance to support the coronavirus response, according to agency planning documents reviewed by NBC News.
The Trump administration would have to use the 1988 Stafford Act to enable FEMA to provide such disaster assistance. Emergency declarations are most often used in the event of natural disasters but can be used to help manage disease outbreaks. “To me, this is another indication that the president and the White House are finally aware of the gravity of the situation,” said Michael Coen, who was FEMA chief of staff during the Obama administration. “They need to consider all tools available to them and have contingencies for action.”
“I actually find this reassuring,” said Tim Manning, who was a FEMA deputy administrator under President Barack Obama. “I hope this discussion has been happening continuously over the last couple of months.” An emergency declaration would allow FEMA to provide disaster medical assistance teams, mobile hospitals, and military transport, among other kinds of federal support, Manning said.
But it isn’t immediately clear just what all of that could mean.
FEMA’s disaster relief fund has a current balance of $34 billion, according to the latest agency update. “It’s money that’s sitting there and ready,” said another former FEMA official, who declined to be identified. –NBC News
