The language we were GIVEN to use?.....heh, be circumspect of the words you say

Artemis refuses to have anything to do with any male god as she is the first feminist. She's cold and heartless. She likes hunting and a foolish hunter spies her bathing in the nude. To punish him, she changes him into a stag, has her dogs run him down, and she shoots arrows into him as he is torn apart.

It's about destroying patriarchy.

See aren't you glad you send your kids to public school to make manhating feminists and effete soyboys?

The word hankering is a common Southern expression for a desire or craving like a pregnant lady has a hankerin' for pickled cucumber for some reason. Or you eat some cookies (orginally sweet biscuits or bickies) and then have a powerful hankering for something salty to offset it like chips.

It comes the old Dutch hankeren meaning "to hang" as orginally it was a word used when lovestruck and hanging around as a suitor to strike up a conversation, and not always being a welcome sight. Like a lady in Victorian times might say, "I wish he wouldn't hanker ie hang around, but get lost!" So then it meant "to loiter" as the person was a nuisance...but might end up "growing on her".

Groovy is not actually a late sixties word, but arose from African American jazz artists (who also popularized Mary Jane) which meant that the music was swinging ie made one want to dance as the tune fit in the groove of a phonograph record.

So if a lady was groovy, it meant you wanted to dance with her ie make love.She stimulated one's passion.

If one was rockin' and a rollin', it was two young people foolin' around in the backseat of a car, or trying to as the space might be tight, and making love in a VERY animated way. So the whole vehicle is shaking.

Now listen to those old Fifties songs again.

Obtuse means one who is oblivious to reality. It comes from obtusus meaning dull or blunt as in a tool that therefore is useless.

Literally the person chooses to ignore reality and never sharpens their awareness. The obtuse person just preferes ignorance.

Dense Squares?



I never did like geometry.

The past few days have been very satisfying gratifying.

From French gratifier or Latin gratificari ‘give or do as a favor’. Seems more appropriate for a thankful frame of mind.

Where do we get the word mask from? It comes from medieval Latin masca meaning spectre or nightmare so has dark connotations. All the possible origins are occultish like black and witch but also intentionally acting the fool.

The fool in the occult is the average person given to ignorance and therefore suffers due to engaging in excess.

Masks were worn at costume balls so degenerate aristcrats could pretend to be anonymous and engage in their carnal appetites.

The word hate comes from a old Germanic word hatian for the way to treat an enemy. The emotion arises from the extremes of maximum hostility. Not just being averse or feeling antipathy (the opposite of sympathy), but revulsion so intense as to provoke fierce anger.

Even loathing does not come close as it was a growing feeling that did not cease but even inspired generational emnity ie a parent hated but a son hated the enemy even more and the grandson yet more as a kind of focused pure malevolent growing hatred.

So imagine Lucifer, an immortal being, the Enemy of Humanity, who hates us.

The word accidental comes from the Latin word accidens which implies a chance event or something random.

Think of the seemingly random patterns in smoke and if you study chaos theory, there is an order to it. One might say that within a universe, nothing is random and hence the idea that the flapping of a butterflies wings might eventually cause a hurricane.

An accident in old French equated to misfortune...which is rather biased as one might accidentaly do something and rise up and gaze into a lovely lady's eyes...surely good fortune.

A militia in history were hastily organized citizen solders and dates back to Fyrd in England. When a man was declared a "freeman", he was given a weapon and allowed to defend the village or larger as a sign of his freedom. Thus since the Dark Ages, the right to and bear arms was inexorably linked to liberty. The right to own and bear arms for a fyrd was inviolate ie safe from violation or injury to his liberty.

That is how old the idea is (605 AD) and natural rights always included this primary concept.

A militia then had to be armed or else they were not free and thus would have no protection of natural rights.

Since the ancient Romans, it was clear that citizen soldiers having no tactics due to no training, were poorly qualified soldiers who did not work well in formations and often died and had poor quality (if any) armor.

The entire reason that the English developed semi-professional and then professional soldiers was they kept getting their butts kicked by invaders.

So militia was the bare minimum and gutsy because when assembled, just about knew they would get harmed or die.

For the longest time militia might only have "padded armor" which was absurd and hardly protected at all.

Eventually soldiers began forgping armor as it was restrictive and began to be less and less useful and then they switched to cuirasses to still cover the most likely chest target with firearms.

George Washington was a professional soldier and officer and bemoaned he had so few professional soldiers and then had to go against Native Americans who were paid to fight, Hessians also, and then professional Redcoats. It's really a wonder the American Revolution was won at all.

A 19th century sufragette had four virtues:
Piety of Christian faith

Sexual purity before marriage

She was submissive adhering to Biblical principles

She could manage a home and raise children.

These are the bedrock prinnciples they had to have and why they felt they had the right to vote as ladies of virtue and wives or potential wives.

The idea arose out of Christian ladies' temperance leagues.

Tell me, can a person claim a group is their originator if the descendants have none of the same beliefs and virtues?

The word romance came from the French "romanz" circa 1300 AD as ideas of personal choice in marital relationships were restricted.

A knight would write a polite letter to an object of his affections largely knowing it was impossible to ever be with her. This was called "courtly love". The lady would write encouragement and they would send countless letters back and forth, and yet be unable to act on their romance. Thus the idea of "unrequited love" came to be.

So romance was synonymous with a chivalrous knight devoted to a lady of virtue.

In the USA, real romance seldom happened until after 1920 for the wealthy and generally 1945 for most. People married who asked them with a very limited pool of suitors and limited courtship.

So for much of history, genuine romance was all but a dream...

...but within the realm of possibility for any brave enough to look for it.

I only know the grief that comes to me,
to my love-ridden heart, out of over-loving,
since my will is so firm and whole
that it never parted or grew distant from her
whom I craved at first sight, and afterwards:
and now, in her absence, I tell her burning words;
then, when I see her, I don't know, so much I have to, what to say.
To the sight of other women I am blind, deaf to hearing them
since her only I see, and hear and heed,
and in that I am surely not a false slanderer,
since heart desires her more than mouth may say;
wherever I may roam through fields and valleys, plains and mountains
I shan't find in a single person all those qualities
which God wanted to select and place in her.
I have been in many a good court,
but here by her I find much more to praise:
measure and wit and other good virtues,
beauty and youth, worthy deeds and fair disport;
so well kindness taught and instructed her
that it has rooted every ill manner out of her:
I don't think she lacks anything good.
No joy would be brief or short
coming from her whom I endear to guess [my intentions],
otherwise she won't know them from me,
if my heart cannot reveal itself without words,
since even the Rhone, when rain swells it,
has no such rush that my heart doesn't stir
a stronger one, weary of love, when I behold her.
Joy and merriment from another woman seems false and ill to me,
since no worthy one can compare with her,
and her company is above the others'.
Ah me, if I don't have her, alas, so badly she has taken me!
But this grief is amusement, laughter and joy,
since in thinking of her, of her am I gluttonous and greedy:
ah me, God, could I ever enjoy her otherwise!
Arnaut Daniel
(1150-1210 AD)
One of the earliest troubadors singing of courtly love.
(in the public domain)

I am obliged to sing
1. I must sing of what I do not want,
I am so angry with the one whom I love,
Because I love him more than anything:
Mercy nor courtesy moves him,
Neither does my beauty, nor my worthiness,
nor my good sense,
For I am deceived and betrayed
As much as I should be, if I were ugly.

2. I take comfort because I never did anything wrong,
Friend, towards you in anything,
Rather I love you more than Seguin did Valensa,
And I am greatly pleased that I conquered you in love,
My friend, because you are the most worthy;
You are arrogant to me in words and appearance,
And yet you are so friendly towards everyone else.

3. I wonder at how you have become so proud,
Friend, towards me, and I have reason to lament;
It is not right that another love take you away from me
No matter what is said or granted to you.
And remember how it was at the beginning
Of our love! May Lord God never wish
That it was my fault for our separation.

4. The great prowess that dwells in you
And your noble worth retain me,
For I do not know of any woman, far or near,
Who, if she wants to love, would not incline to you;
But you, friend, have such understanding
That you can tell the best,
And I remind you of our sharing.

5. My worth and my nobility should help me,
My beauty and my fine heart;
Therefore, I send this song down to you
So that it would be my messenger.
I want to know, my fair and noble friend,
Why you are so cruel and savage to me;
I don't know if it is arrogance or ill will.

6. But I especially want you, messenger, to tell him
That many people suffer for having too much pride.

Why are people from Deutschland called Germans?

Deutschland means people, folk, nation in their original language to set themselves apart from others.

Julius Caesar dubbed the people of part of these land the "Germani" of Germania. That was to distinguish them from the Celts, who turned had words meaning noisy and neighbors and so their noisy neighbors ie "rowdy people" were the Germani.

The French in the Dark Ages labeled them Alemani meaning many tribes led by one trube and one man.

During the US Civil War, German Americans being discriminated against by English Americans, they had often relocated and supported the Republicans as Republicans believed in supermajorities thus benefitting minority political opinion. They were not typically slave owners.

English Americans took to calling them "Dutchies" ie people from Duetschland versus those who might come from Netherlands who were the Dutch. So it's a confusing term to anyone hearing it today.

[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)]
These "Dutchies" then tended to arrive in Virginia and push towards Pennsylvania, but feeling different, then relocated largely by Christian beliefs and created settlements in various territories to have the most freedom.

So there were Lutherans, Catholics, and Anabaptists. The latter became the Amish and the Menonites.

Look at the graphic in the article, and you will see they diffused along the Northern territories rather than try to compete with the English Americans.

The extreme leftist media are quick to point out Japanese American internment camps, which is bizarre as the Democrat bigots created them. Then totally fail to mention German American internment camps in WW1 and WW2!

German Americans were relabeled "Huns" and German Americans then wondered if they would EVER be considered Americans at all.

[link to www.history.com (secure)]

Originally the Huns were a Mongolian people who then conquered westward into Goth territory and subsumed Germani tribes.

"The Huns came on the historical scene in Europe during the late 4th century A.D when, in 370 A.D., they crossed the Volga River and conquered the Alans, another civilization of nomadic, warring horsemen.
Two years later, they attacked the Ostrogoths, an eastern tribe of Germanic Goths who harassed the Roman Empire by frequently attacking their territories.
By 376, the Huns had attacked the Visigoths (the western tribe of Goths), and forced them to seek sanctuary within the Roman Empire. Some of the Alans, Goths and Visigoths were conscripted into the Hunnic infantry.
As the Huns dominated Goth and Visigoth lands, they earned a reputation as the new barbarians in town and seemed unstoppable. By 395 A.D., they began invading Roman domains. Some Roman Christians believed they were devils arrived straight from hell."

Wince the Kaiser was trying to conquer Europe in WW1, then the presence of German Americans was considered a slow conquering of America by those who were English Americans. They considered them like "Attila the Hun".

It's a bizarre idea.

6 million German Americans then suffered under President Woodrow Wilson, a DEMOCRAT and the most notorious BIGOT in the White House, who then fostered the German American internment.

There has NEVER been an official apology.

[link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)]
During the American Civil War, bushwhackers would post a black flag as a sign to those in the know that they were "black flaggin' it" by serving as irregular militia protecting the area.

It was considered by their opposites who were Jayhawkers irregulars for the Union to be like "acting like pirates and so scum".

Such ensignia dates to very dark occult Luciferian origins with the Skull and Bones dating back to the Holy Lands and the Templars.
