Invasion

[Braid Anderson]

The invasion of Europe by Moo Slims – stopped by the Crusaders centuries ago – has finally been achieved. King Robert Bruce of Scotland – described by the Pope as ‘the greatest knight in Christendom’ – must be turning over in his grave.

Braid it wasn't the Crusaders who stopped the hordes trying for Europe contrary to popular belief. The Crusaders started off as a small band of warrior monks and were committed to the safeguard of Pilgrims to the Holy Lands. Later the Lords and Knights mostly from France saw benefits from taking over Jerusalem and other parts of the middle east, original establishment of the earlier Crusaders can be found in Malta and Rhodes. As regards the pope at some interval before the end of the Templar knights together with Philip king of France found it expedient to disinherit and accuse them of heresy.. Most were imprisoned and tortured and then executed by the King and all their lands went to the crown. A very few escaped to Scotland and it is believed they fought alongside Robert the Bruce and is why they had so much success. There has always been strong links between France and Scotland maybe this is why Miss Caviar is so willing to take up the cudgels for staying in Europe. More research than others have taken has been done by various masonic Orders, the Knights Templar. The present day Order being known as the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem,Palestine, Rhodes and Malta. It was only in the latter years of the 20th. Century that the R.C. Church lifted its embargo or whatever one wants to call it, and for centuries they were no friends of the Crusaders the actual so called Arab infidels were more friendly than their own people. That good old word Propoganda springs to mind, so even in those days it was used as a weapon by politicians and heads of state to achieve a rapid rise in their own personal benefits schemes.

Hi John.
Those who ignore history do it at their peril. Then there are those who chose to twist it to suit their own ends.
I saw the most blatant war mongering propaganda report from an ABC so called journalist reporting from London on last nights news . his father if he had one would have turned in his grave.
Cheers Des

Des, the media will nevber tell the truth, just the version that sells the most copy.

Interesting bit last night in the news on how Russia will deal with Clinton in office, and it does not look good or nice.
We live in very interesting times.

Des ref. #2... You will find in the Records somewhere re the Skull and Crossbones which were long before Captain Jolly Roger of the Spanish Main, " The skull and Crossbones the emblems of Mortality are placed at the foot of the Cross , these collectively remind us of the place in the Hebrew called Golgotha, unto which Simon of Cyrene was constrained to bear the Cross on which our saviour was crucified,........................................ ......... Another dozen lines. Depends on what one believes, but as history if proven honest cannot be pushed into the background. I sympathise with people who have strong beliefs such as the Church, but History says they were responsible the same as a lot of others. one of the biggest factors over the years for the present situation in the world today is lack of morality. We all on this site look back at the way things turned out. As well as so called climate change the world is changing all the time that song Whatever will be will be, says it all. However as most of us wont be here to see The futures not ours to see, I am content with that as cant change, and will be well clear of. Cheers JS

the finance it costs it would be more cost effective to rebuild the bombed out cities out there and let them live in their own land of birth. they will have jobs what they will never get here or in the eu so they are just a drain on the countries they are going to?? jp

#9 Begorrah your right Ivan, after sorting that lot out he joined the U.S. Navy and was Captain of a landing craft carrier. Landing all these boats on Japanese atolls and islands in the Pacific, The boats having US marines in of course. He got the name of Away all Boats. Was that successful at that also believe he was chairman of the Gun Club of America. Think he also passed away. All the good ones seemed to disappear, now we have ones all tattooed who I don't know the name of. If you called them tats or something you would have to run like hell and cant do that any more.
