He was buried about 7,000 years ago, and was in his 60s.

This man was dug up only a few hundred yards from my grandparents’ farm; the family has lived in the general area as far back as anyone can trace them.

He was buried about 7,000 years ago, and was in his 60s.

In all likelihood, he is my ancestor; later waves of immigration has likely diluted his genes, but humans being human, some of his descendants would have had offspring with the newcomers. He is on display in the Historical Museum of Stockholm.

The only thing I really feel about it is that I personally wouldn’t want to be on display in a museum. I’m sure there are others who would be positively delighted to.

A road not far from here is named for a Viking age chieftain; the Vikings set great store by their reputation and he would have been ecstatic to know that his name was spoken daily 1,000 years later; he might very well have felt the same way about his remains being on display.

And there are excellent reasons to show him. It gives us an immediate connection to those who lived here long ago: here he is, he was an ordinary person like you and me, his relatives buried him with care and mourned him, like we do today.

REASONS NAZI STRIP PRISONER BEFORE EXECUTION

Image
REASONS NAZI STRIP PRISONER BEFORE EXECUTION The Nazis employed the dehumanizing practice of making people strip naked before being executed or subjected to gas chambers for several interconnected reasons. Firstly, it served to strip victims of their individuality and dignity. By forcing people to remove their clothing, the Nazis aimed to reduce them to mere numbers, degrading their humanity and making it easier for the perpetrators to view them as disposable entities rather than fellow human beings. Secondly, it facilitated the process of disposal and decontamination. Removing clothing reduced the risk of contamination from any potential chemicals or diseases, making it easier for the Nazis to manage the disposal of bodies and minimize the risks to the executioners themselves. Thirdly, it amplified the psychological torment of the victims. Stripping people of their clothing left them exposed, vulnerable, and humiliated, intensifying their emotional suffering before their eventu...

Why Most Married White Women Have Black Lovers

Image
  Why Most Married White Women Have Black Lovers I learned the simple fact that many WW marry WM for the bag đź’° and once they are set, they go back to their pre marriage days of black lovers fun or just looking to finally fulfill a long time curiosity. Married or divorced this is prevalent in many places. One thing women do is communicate greatly about their love life/ sexual relationships and many have varying things to say about black men. With no need for money, stability, or family, growth all fulfilled then the life focus changes to personal desires and wants. This is why if you go to Jamaica there are tons of single older WW. Or in the case of the Kardashians, they have their money and now for the boy toy sexual fulfillment of a black man. This is not the only reason but definitely a huge factor in these relationships. WW have always been attracted to and seeking black men. Only with the pressure of racist WM and their ongoing angst fragility and c...

Execution of Allen Lee Davis

Image
Allen Lee Davis  (July 20, 1944 – July 8, 1999) was an American murderer who was executed for the 1982 murder of Nancy Weiler, who was three months pregnant, in Jacksonville, Florida. According to reports, Nancy Weiler was "beaten almost beyond recognition" by Davis with a .357 Magnum, and hit more than 25 times in the face and head. He was additionally convicted of killing Nancy Weiler's two daughters, Kristina, age 9, who was shot twice in the face, and Katherine, age 5, who was shot as she tried to run away and then had her skull beaten in with the gun. Davis, who had a lengthy criminal history, was on parole for armed robbery at the time of the murders. He later admitted that his initial motive was to rape and murder Kristina, kill her sister and mother, and then ransack the house. Davis was executed on July 8, 1999, via electrocution. His execution was alleged to have been botched, with witnesses reporting that Davis was still alive after the power to Old Sparky wa...

Freedomite

Image
See video F reedo m i t e The  Freedomite  movement consists of a split-off of the Doukhobors, a community of Spiritual Christians began a mass migration from Russia to Canada in 1898. The Freedomite movement first appeared in 1902 in Saskatchewan, and later in the Kootenay and Boundary Districts of British Columbia. Freedomites began to divide from Doukhobors in 1902 in Saskatchewan, Canada, self-named as "God's people" and  Svobodniki  (Russian: "sovereign people"). The faction, later called "Freedomites", opposed land ownership, public schools, using work animals, etc. and are mainly known for protesting nude.

The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski

Image
The capture of brave Russian officer Rosinski This is a shocking image and I apologize in advance for sharing it, but here’s one that truly got to me… in Belarus, 1918, after WWI had already ended, the brave Russian officer Rosinski was captured by the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks tortured the captain, likely to get information out of the man, which he bravely refused to give. After that, they simply continued with the torture out of some sick sense of innate cruelty. He was ‘the enemy’ and he was at their mercy, so they brutally murdered their captive. The brave captain was emasculated. And anally impaled on a tree branch. All this while still alive. Alfred Savoir, the man who published the picture and was an eye witness to the death of the brave military officer, described "M. B.", who ordered this atrocity, thus: I knew him not long ago; he was a charming teenager with an ironic wit and joker. He was rubbed with French culture, he admired the novels of Barres and h...

The Judas Cradle, A Terrible Medieval Torture

Image
The Judas Cradle, A Terrible Medieval Torture The Judas Cradle, is a terrible medieval torture where the victim would be placed on top of a pyramid-like seat. The victim's feet were tied to each other in a way that moving one leg would force the other to move as well - increasing pain. The triangular-shaped end of the judas cradle was inserted in the victim's anus or vagina. This torture could last, depending on some factors discussed below, anywhere from a few hours to complete days. Death Factors The time it took someone to die varied enormously from individual to individual. Torturers would sometimes add weight to the victim's legs as to increase pain and hurry the victim's death. Other torturers would place oil on the device which increased pain considerably. This device was rarely, if at all, washed. If the victim did not die quickly enough, or their painful execution was interrupted, they would invariantly die from an infection.  The victim was sometimes rocked or...

During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.

Image
During World War II, millions of people were sent to concentration camps, including women.  Women in concentration camps were subjected to brutal treatment and often faced more severe conditions than their male counterparts. The conditions in the camps were inhumane, and women were often subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experiments. Women were treated differently in concentration camps than men. They were often separated from their families, forced to perform hard labor, and subjected to sexual abuse. Women who were pregnant were also subjected to harsh conditions and medical experimentation. Many women were killed, either as part of the genocide or because they were deemed too weak to continue working. One of the most notorious concentration camps where women were held was Auschwitz-Birkenau. There, women were subjected to forced labor, starvation, and medical experimentation. Many were killed in gas chambers or through other forms of execution. The camp was desi...

Book Burnings in Germany, 1933

Image
Book Burnings in Germany, 1933 On May 10, 1933, university students in 34 university towns across Germany burned over 25,000 books. The works of Jewish authors like Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud went up in flames alongside blacklisted American authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Helen Keller, while students gave the Nazi salute. In Berlin 40,000 people gathered to hear German Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels give a speech in Berlin's Opera Square. He declared "the era of extreme Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. ... The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you. ... And thus you do well in this midnight hour to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past." Radio stations broadcast the Berlin speeches, songs, and ceremonial incantations to countless German listeners. Widespread newspaper coverage called the "Action against the Un-German S...
