When people say ‘Vikings’ they usually picture longships raiding England.
Here’s what actually happened over 300 years: → Norwegians settled Iceland, Greenland, and reached North America → Danes conquered half of England and Normandy → Swedes built trade empires stretching to Baghdad

The Caucasian men described in the footnote above appear to be Jewish Supremists. Epstein was a JS and his whole life was wrapped up in their evil machinations. For innocent readers, please understand that raping and torturing children is not all these demons do. They also attack anyone smarter than them, to put it plainly. They ID and destroy children and young adults whom they fear may compete with them when they become adults. The world saw the joy they exhibit in murdering and maiming children in Gaza. USA and the West have not been spared a similar demise; the difference is only the violence is covert, hidden from view. ABN
Rather than treat his mental illness, they told him he was a woman. This is the weaponry of psychological warfare, mind-control and the poisoning of USA and the West. MKULTRA, JSULTRA, PSYCHOULTRA; we are living it and dying from it. ABN
“Trash / garbage, get out of Japan! Scram / get lost already!”
This anime reflects rising nationalist sentiments in Japan, where public discourse on immigration intensifies due to demographic pressures like an aging population (projected to shrink by 30% by 2070 per UN data), yet polls (e.g., 2023 Pew Research) show over 70% of Japanese favoring cultural homogeneity over increased inflows.
UPDATE: I lived in Japan for over four years. Generally speaking, educated Japanese I spoke with were well-aware of Jewish covert behavior and wary of it. Japanese so-called antisemitism is actually the awareness of their tribe of the danger of the Jewish tribe. The views expressed in the short video above strike me as reflecting what I heard personally from intelligent, wealthy and well-educated Japanese, including respect for warriors outside of Japan. I myself have experienced horrific violence at the hands of Jewish Supremists. I had a responsible job while in Japan. And that meant my past had been thoroughly investigated by Japanese IC. So, some of those same Japanese I spoke with knew what I had been through and were willing to be open with me. Social and political interpersonal boundaries of speech in USA and the West are far more restricted than in Japan, China and other places I have lived in East Asia. Notice, Japan is not falling for the benefits of replacement invasion. This is not new. They have seen the problem and have been discussing it among themselves for decades. The rise of Sanae Takaichi and Japan’s ‘sudden’ swing to the right is happening because Japan’s elite is making it happen. This position also reflects popular sentiments, but the elite are making it happen. Just what we need in the West; if only our elite were not infiltrated by a large tribe of Jewish Supremists and their disgusting toadies. ABN
Self-deception begins within seconds of listening or speaking.
Once committed to an interpretation or tending toward one, the brain builds on it quickly.
Once an interpretation has been built upon, the brain remembers it as what truly happened even if that is false.
This is normal. The human brain has evolved to use self-deception.
This probably happened because truer forms of communication are complex and use a lot of time. They can also be confusing and difficult.
Confusion, difficulty, and complexity interfere with social cohesion and motivation.
Strong self-deception deceives others better than weak self-deception or no self-deception. In this way, it promotes social cohesion and motivation.
Self-deception can be observed and understood if it is caught quickly. The best way to catch it is through a technique like FIML.
Self-deception is a kind of neurosis, delusion, false cognition. Nevertheless, we are so used to it, we can feel lost without it.
But you do not need self-deception, unless you are a card-carrying member of a rigid or unwholesome group and are afraid to grow bigger.
If self-deception is discovered many times through FIML practice, it does not present as a philosophy or attitude or whole picture of the mind. Nor does it present as a neurosis, delusion, or false cognition.
Rather it presents as a composite of many pixels—many small instances—of observed and corrected mistakes.
Thus seen as an aggregation of many small instances, self-deception gradually is lessened.
Self-deception is something Buddhists seek to train themselves out of.
All of the videos released by the DOJ from the Epstein files. About 140 videos have been removed due to containing pornography and highly questionable content that we would prefer remain accessible through the federal government’s site. list here.
This is not implausible. Epstein himself appears to have been switched out for a dead body-double, possibly a murdered-to-order one. Having a lookalike serve your prison term in China is a common practice among the wealthy. It’s possible Ghislaine got a nose job in prison or just before, but that actually sounds less likely than that’s not her. Compare the stills. ABN
In Buddhism the idea that consciousness is reality and reality is conscious is called “mind only” or Yogachara.
David Ray Griffin, a process theologian, has come to similar conclusions—that reality is fundamentally conscious.
As has Donald D. Hoffman, a professor of cognitive science at UC Irvine.
Hoffman came at this subject from a mathematical angle, but arrived at a similar conclusion to Yogachara Buddhism. Hoffman says:
As a conscious realist, I am postulating conscious experiences as ontological primitives, the most basic ingredients of the world. I’m claiming that experiences are the real coin of the realm. (The Case Against Reality)
I tend to reach similar conclusions when I think about everything in terms of signals.
The advantage of thinking in terms of signals is we get a good picture of “reality” without needing to say what is real beyond the signal itself.
This kind of thinking is helpful for metaphysics but it is also extremely practical when it comes to human psychology.
Rather than posit personality types and what goes wrong or right with them, we analyze how people send and receive signals instead.
In thinking along these lines, I have come to the conclusion that most psychology as most people understand it uses “arms-length” language, the language of meso and macro signals rather than the much more precise language of the micro signals that actually comprise our shared experiences, or shared “realities.”
The difference can be illustrated in this way: Rather than explain your most recent signal (sent or received) in terms of personality, explain it by accessing the micro-signals of short-term memory to find its true antecedents, its real-time, real-world experiential basis.
If you do this again and again by doing FIML, you will probably come to conclusions similar to the above—that there is no deeper substance to psychological reality than your consciousness of it.
When it comes to wealth, extravagance and notoriety, few compare to Thailand‘s playboy king, Maha Vajiralongkorn.
Known formally as Rama X, the 73-year-old monarch is the wealthiest ruler in the world, with an estimated net worth of £52billion.
He has lived an extraordinarily wild, and at times outright bizarre, life that would put even history’s most debauched monarchs to shame.
But in recent months, the flamboyant royal has all but retreated from public life.
Rarely seen since the October death of his mother Sirikit, the once-spirited monarch appears to still be in mourning.
In November, just a few weeks after his mother passed away, a glum-looking Vajiralongkorn became the first ever Thai monarch to visit China as part of a state visit.
And on February 1, the king was seen performing religious rites to commemorate the 100th day since his mother’s passing. Photos of the event showed uniformed soldiers obediently bowing down to the dour-looking king and queen in a gaudy room that held a large portrait of the late Sirikit.
Maybe… but wouldn’t it have been obvious your search would be recorded, or could be? Still an interesting insight and relevant consequences appear to have followed.
You can look at USA political events since the new year as a measured buildup toward a really big case, bigger than Epstein, which will include massive states fraud, election theft, massive federal fraud and more; maybe even a deep Epstein reveal. Some see the Trump admin as stalling, but they may actually be building momentum while preparing the public for a much bigger story. The mid-term elections are about eight months away. Politics is theater. ABN
[Semiotics, also known as semiology, is the interdisciplinary study of signs, symbols, and sign processes, examining how meaning is created and communicated. It encompasses both linguistic and non-linguistic signs—such as words, images, gestures, traffic signals, and cultural artifacts—and analyzes their relationships to objects, concepts, and interpreters].
A semiotic analysis of a person’s “internal and external signaling” often can be more conducive to understanding than a “psychological” analysis.
From a semiotic point of view, it is not at all necessary that even a very significant adult behavior will have started with a significant trauma or any other sort of strong influence.
The smallest thing can constitute the start of a “semiotic slope” that, once begun, will tend to persist.
For example, your mom may not have understood that as a three-year-old it was normal for you to prefer the company of your father. Her misunderstanding may then have led to her withdrawing from you very slightly, and this snowballed between the two of you. When, years later, you wanted a closer relation with your mom and were not able to get it, it may have seemed to you that the cause was some trauma in her relation with her mother. But the actual start of the whole thing began with nothing more than your mom never having learned the simple fact that toddlers often prefer one parent over the other for a period of time.
What happened was she misunderstood the semiotics of toddler behavior and many things followed from that. There was no trauma, no ideal state not attained due to some seriously bad thing having happened to her.
Another way to put this is most people do not remember very much before the age of five or so. But didn’t a lot of formative things happen back then? Some probably were traumatic, and we do tend to remember those experiences more clearly than others, but much of what started our paths of development also began with very simple, often accidental, interpretations or misinterpretations of what was said or done to us or around us.
In a semiotic analysis, we recognize that a good deal of what we think/feel/believe began with a small thing, a random or accidental interpretation that got us going in some direction that we likely today see as a major component of our “personality.”
Once your mom began to interpret, even very slightly, your toddler behavior as “meaning” that you did not love her as much as your father, many things followed for all of you. But there was no trauma, no glaring formative event, no Freudian ghost from her past coming to haunt your life. Rather, she simply made a mistake due to her ignorance of toddler behavior.
Ironically, the fact that many of us still today tend to understand much of human “psychology” as being determined by unconscious Freudianesque forces is a good example of how a “semiotic slope” once begun tends to continue. Freud started us down a “semiotic slope” that still shapes much of our world today.
The persistence of what is simply a wrong interpretation in an individual can be compared to what happens in cultures. Something begins, then it snowballs, then it becomes a tradition or an established idea. The semiotic network that is culture is hard to change once it is established. Something very similar is also true for individuals.
I am not claiming that emotional traumas do not happen and that they do not affect people. I am claiming that what we are is often due to small accidents as much as large traumas. And that people who are “resilient” after having suffered significant traumas may be so because their semiotic development led them to view the “meaning” of their trauma in a more “resilient,” or useful, way.
FIML practice is designed to focus on real-world, real-time semiotic understanding. It’s a lot of fun once you understand what you are doing and how to do it. Communication between two mutually caring adults very often can go deeply wrong due even to very small misunderstandings. Not everything we do comes from childhood. A great deal of adult life is conditioned by semiotic misunderstandings. I can’t help but think of Amber Heard as I write this.
