So I've spoken of this a bit. I'm not going to flesh it all out here but questions are welcome. You might say it is a very French idea as the foremost intellectual influences on it are French: the Marquis de Sade and Auguste Comte. A Russian intelligence agent told me in 2022 that without my use of Comte I would not be here. Here being where I had just entered. I.e., talking to him.

It's a glorified camping trip until the pigs make it something else. Basically lots of sex, nudity, squatting and trespassing on federal lands, moving around (no stupid compounds for Waco enthusiasts) and ignoring the law. In practice that means no applications for things like fishing and hunting licenses. I expect lots of fugitives and other outcasts to get in pretty early. My basic demographic is hobos and college sluts. It's family formation. Think of the Manson Family had they moved to more defensible areas than Death Valley. 12-35 people to start, men outnumbering women suggesting a gangbang. Children raised in common. No work. No inequality created by private property. And while I say my plan this comes courtesy of Iranian intelligence - with Don Pendleton's 'Nuclear Storm' serving as a huge influence.

Yes, Stalin replaced Maxim Litvinov, the Foreign Minister, with Vyacheslav Molotov on May 3, 1939, and this was seen as a move to appease Nazi Germany and signal a willingness to engage in non-aggression talks, though not necessarily an alliance.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

The Context:

In the late 1930s, the Soviet Union, under Stalin, was navigating a complex geopolitical landscape, including the rise of Nazi Germany and the growing threat of war.

Litvinov's Position:

Litvinov was known for his strong stance against Nazi Germany and his support for collective security through the League of Nations, which was seen as a pro-Western approach.

Stalin's Shift:

Stalin began to distance himself from Litvinov's policies and publicly stated that there was no hindrance to cooperation between states with differing ideologies, hinting at a potential shift towards a more pragmatic approach, even with Nazi Germany.

The Replacement:

On May 3, 1939, Stalin replaced Litvinov with Molotov, who was known for his pro-German leanings.

Appeasing Nazi Germany:

The sudden replacement of Litvinov was interpreted by some as a move to appease Nazi Germany and signal a willingness to engage in non-aggression talks, as evidenced by the German Charge d'Affaires' telegram from Moscow.

Purge of the Ministry:

Following Litvinov's dismissal, Stalin reportedly directed Molotov to "purge the ministry of Jews" to further signal Nazi Germany that the USSR was ready for non-aggression talks.

The Nazi-Soviet Pact:

In August 1939, the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression treaty that shocked the world and paved the way for the invasion of Poland and the start of World War II.

Aftermath:

While Stalin continued to respect Litvinov, he was given little official Soviet recognition after the Nazi-Soviet Pact.

Joseph Goebbels was born into a strict Roman Catholic family and remained nominally Catholic, but his actions and beliefs as a Nazi leader contradict any genuine religious faith.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

Early Life and Background:

Goebbels was born in Rheydt, Germany, in 1897, to a Roman Catholic family.

Nominal Catholicism:

While Goebbels was raised in a religious household, he ceased attending Catholic mass and going to confession long before 1933, and he did not officially leave the Church or refuse to pay church taxes.

Contradictory Actions:

As a Nazi leader, Goebbels was a radical anti-Semite and a fervent follower of Hitler, whose ideology was fundamentally opposed to Christianity.

Diary Entry:

In his diary, Goebbels wrote in March 1943, "We are already so enmeshed above all in the Jewish Question that there is no escape for us."

Propaganda and Ideology:

Goebbels masterminded the Nazi propaganda machine, which promoted a racist and anti-Semitic agenda, contradicting any Christian values of love, compassion, and equality.

Historians' Perspective:

Historian Richard Steigmann-Gall argues that "nominal church membership is a very unreliable gauge of actual piety in this context" and determining someone's actual religious convictions should be based on other criteria.

From the AI.

In Norse culture, practitioners of magic, particularly women known as völva, used Seiðr, a form of shamanism, to connect with the spiritual realm, gain knowledge, and influence events, often through trance states and ritual practices.

Here's a more detailed look:

Seiðr as a Shamanic Practice:

Seidr is considered a form of Norse shamanism, or an old Scandinavian magic with strong shamanic traits.

Role of Völva:

Völva, the women who practiced Seidr, held a unique and sometimes ambiguous position in Norse society, being both feared and respected.

Trance and Ritual:

Seidr rituals often involved entering trance states or altered states of consciousness to access hidden realms and communicate with various beings.

Techniques:

Practitioners used techniques like chanting, drumming, and possibly psychoactive substances to achieve these states.

Purposes of Seidr:

Seidr was used for divination, communication with gods and spirits, and influencing events, including prophecies, blessings, and curses.

Examples in Saga:

The Saga of Erik the Red provides a detailed account of a völva and her practices, while other sagas and mythic poems also contain accounts of seidr-workers.

Social Standing:

Völva were "set apart" from society, sometimes exalted and sought-after, and at other times feared or reviled.

Odin and Freyja:

Odin is associated with magic, divination, and wisdom, while Freyja is strongly connected to magic and witchcraft.

Galdr:

Galdr is a song which can unleash powers and give access to other realities.
