On this day in history, 9th April 1865, the American Civil War ended when General Lee surrendered his army. The war resulted in over 1 million causalities and according to the 1860 census figures, 8 percent of all white men aged 13 to 43 died in the war. Never forget.

The 'inexplicable' decisions of Western governments lately are very explicable when you realise what it's all in aid of: Deliberately making the cost of living untenable for the working and middle classes.

• Wars that can be blamed for hindering food, gas and energy supplies (thus making them more expensive).
• Huge inflation and inflationary central bank policy.
• Rising taxes (blamed on inflation and war).
• An absence of AI regulation (AI threatens more jobs and lower/middle class income than it creates).
• Fake pandemics to destroy enterprise and the Economy.
• Speculative: The use of HAARP technology to destroy conditions for sufficient agriculture. Again raising prices.

And the reason they need the masses on the Breadline is so that they'll be forced to accept UBI.
And the reason they need the masses to accept UBI is because it will eventually be a trackable and programmable form of currency (which wouldn't be accepted by the majority unless it was 'free money'/UBI).

I realise this might all be obvious to some of you but I want to make sure none of my subscribers are in any doubt. We can only protect ourselves against something if we know it's happening, and can defend best when we know why it's happening.

The solution is still to minimize our dependency upon the existing System; Their fiat currency, global supply chains, welfare, media, culture, legal system, methods of travel - these are all things we must reduce our exposure to. We can all start quite easily by living within our means, stocking food, trading labour and goods with neighbours, planting a few potatoes and disconnecting the satellite dish.

During the excavation prompted by upcoming construction activities by US chip manufacturer Intel, archaeologists from the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology Saxony-Anhalt (LDA) have unearthed a significant burial landscape dating back to the Neolithic period on the Eulenberg near Magdeburg, Germany. Further analysis indicates that the area remained culturally significant for generations. Around a millennium later, during the Globular Amphora Culture (GAC) period (3300–2800 BCE), the space between the mounds served as a processional route. Along this route, archaeologists found evidence of cattle sacrifices and human burials, highlighting the spiritual and ritualistic significance attributed to the site.

Susanne Friederich, an archaeologist from the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology, reflected on the significance of the discoveries: “Our ancestors recreated scenes from their lives here, offering cattle—the guarantee of life—to the gods.”

Viking era jewellery found close to the farm Mårtens in Grötlingbo parish, on the island of Gotland, Sweden.
This treasure was found just 20 cm beneath the ground, underneath an old fence. The fence was marking the border between the farm Mårtens arable land and the forest close by.
Apparently Viking age treasures are often found on or close to old Viking age borders between farms.
Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, has revealed more Viking age treasures than any other place in the world.

The earliest known castle gates in Europe can be seen at Chepstow Castle in Wales. They can be dated back to around 1190 and Measure 2.5m wide by 3.5m in height.

Eagle-shaped belt buckle, Migration period, 5th-6th century AD, gold-plated silver, found in Kovin, Banat region, Vojvodina province, northern Serbia.

The buckle was decorated with semi-precious stones, most likely almandines, inserted in empty holes. It most likely belonged to a military commander of eastern Germanic tribe Gepids, who settled the area and established their kingdom in the southern Pannonia region and Carpathian basin after the death of Atilla the Hun in the 5th century.

Their tribal organization lasted until the second half of the 6th century, when they were overrun by the Avars, nomads from the east
