History as we were taught it is bullshit

Post Ceasar »

Who were the real victors of world war 2? The Russians, Judea and USA?

Whoever they were they wrote the history that is pushed in the mainstream media and the education system.

Who are making the most money in the world right now? Big pharma, the oilgarchs and the federal reserve who print and push the dollar.

Critical thinking is the most important thing to teach your children.

I don't know everything but I do know the world right now has never been as fucked up. So much hate between different groups it is staggering.

How will this all end? I predict a full scale world war 3 soon but what different outcomes could materialize depending on different outcomes?

Educate me (and you and yours)

I think that we are participating in WW3 right now. Not a war of nuclear missiles fired between superpowers but war by other means.

The fact about nuclear weaponry is that since inception it has only been used twice ( in August 1945 ) and since then not at all. Nuclear weaponry keeps the peace between similarly armed States.

So the main question is who are the wealthiest? The Rockafellers and the Rothschilds? They are mentioned alot by many conspiracy theories. But I guess the main ones are hidden from most even the conspiracy theorists and the forbes lists. I doubt Elon Musk is the top 10 wealthiest men on the Earth.
Wealth was once derived from the land. It still is obvs but a lot of wealth has come from backing useful ideas  and technology. You can destroy wealth with taxes, politics and war. 

we once were grubbing around in the dirt.

I’m not saying its a bad thing. Look, we have heating, power, washing machines, abundant food, light, cars, planes, anti biotics, holidays, comfy clothes, indoor toilets, clean drinking water,

Absolutely correct.  But you're using less than 100 years to illustrate this? Don't be daft. That's hardly 'history' at all, you can ask living people who were actually there about this.

What we need answers to are questions about why the history of England aren't taught in England. Why is our history considered shameful? Why, when the Papal missionaries were welcomed by our divided land almost en masse, were they granted an audience to protect us from unsavoury foreign or based pagan views? England has always been a welcoming nation for those interested in our collective betterment, regardless of where you came from to help us.

Was it not the King of Kent who introduced those missionaries to his hated rival kings to discuss Christianity together? What about The Venerable Saint Bede, a Geordie monk who used a Christian standpoint to have an idea of a United Kingdom with one ruler answerable to God to protect his nation and do away with all the infighting, or King Aethelstan who gave up all his personal privileges to make this happen many years later?

These are the true heroes of our nation, those of whom we should be proud and fly the flag.
Oh yes.
The great English anglo-saxon realm populated by the Angles (German), Saxons (also German) and Jutes (Danish) with their Christianity supressing the pagan Celts who were locals.

I suspect this is a 'The Juwes are men that will not be blamed for nothing' thread, isn't it.

Who are the main weapons factory owners?
I don't know, but I will tell you for a cast iron fact that had the UK government not privatised BT, it would have brought in - and still be bringing in - enough money to fund the most crazy, outlandish, "caring", leftist policies you could ever imagine - and the NHS would be able to ask for the moon every month and get it - gift wrapped.
