The Taming Of An Animal
To call the taming of an animal its "improvement" sounds almost like a joke to our ears. They are weakened, they are made less harmful, and through the depressive effect of fear, through pain, through wounds, and through hunger, they become sickly beasts.
It is no different with the tamed man whom the priest has "improved." In the early Middle Ages, when the church was indeed, above all, a menagerie, the most beautiful specimens of the "blond beast" were hunted down everywhere; and the noble Teutons, for example, were "improved."
The "improved" Teuton had become a "sinner," he was stuck in a cage, imprisoned among all sorts of terrible concepts. And there he lay, sick, miserable, malevolent against himself, full of hatred against the springs of life, full of suspicion against all that was still strong and happy. In short, a "Christian."

'King' David
If David did exist he cannot possibly have been the mighty king described in the Tanakh. At the time when he is said to have ruled over a large and sophisticated civilisation, the real world of archaeology has revealed "only a few dozen very small scattered hamlets and villages" supporting farmers who "numbered hardly more than two thousand persons."
If David existed at all he can have been little more than a hill country chieftain. As one recent commentator observes: "The chief disagreement nowadays is between those who hold that David was a petty hilltop chieftain whose writ extended no more than a few miles in any direction, and a small but vociferous band of 'biblical minimalists' who maintain that he never existed at all."

By believing in the Bible, you believe the Torah to be the word of God and, therefore, believe that the Jews are God's spokespeople.
You follow their laws, worship a Jewish Messiah, and bow down to their God. All the while these people provably do not have your best interest at heart, nor do they have a history any proud European should want to be associated with.
They are not "our elder brothers" (Pope John Paul II). They are not "our fathers in faith" (Pope Benedict XVI). They are a nation hostile to you, your folk, and your loved ones.
As Roman philosopher Cicero (106 BCE – 43 BCE) stated: "The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers. The practice of their sacred rites is at variance with the glory of our empire, the dignity of our name, the customs of our ancestors."
Without Christian support, they are powerless—their greatest deception to date. Reclaim the customs of your ancestors and our empire shall be glorious once more.

"Christian rhetoric hardly conceals the fact that it is henotheistic, with not just the one God (to whom was later assimilated and originally subordinated the additional gods of the Lord Christ and the Holy Spirit), but many other subordinate gods, including a 'god of this world' (i.e., Satan: 2 Cor. 4.4) and a panoply of angels (divine 'messengers') and demons (literally, daimones or daimonia, 'divinities') possessed of all the same roles, attributes, and powers of pagan gods. That they were not called gods is merely semantics."

A Quasi-Historical Narrative
The earliest Christian texts we possess are the genuine letters of Paul written in the first half of the first century. Paul quotes older hymns to Christ, which suggests that he is developing a Joshua/Jesus cult that may have already been in existence, perhaps for centuries. Unlike the New Testament gospels, written some 50-100 years later.
Paul's Jesus is a clearly mythical figure who does not inhabit any particular time or place. Paul never quotes Jesus and does not portray him as a recently deceased Jewish master. Indeed, he doesn't treat him as someone who had actually lived at all. He writes, 'If Jesus had been on Earth, he wouldn't have been a priest' [Hebrews 8:4], not, 'When Jesus was on Earth, he wasn't a priest.'

"Jesus was a Jew, was at home in the Jewish tradition of his time, and was decisively shaped by this religious milieu. His first disciples gathered around him had the same heritage and were defined by the same Jewish tradition in their everyday life. Given Jesus’ Jewish origins, coming to terms with Judaism in one way or another is indispensable for Christians."

The Pagan Origins Of Easter
While Christmas was a celebration of the winter solstice, Easter was a celebration of the spring equinox for the Pagans. Pagans lived their lives in strong accordance with nature’s rhythms and patterns, and solstices and equinoxes were considered to be sacred times.
Easter took its name from the Pagan goddess Ēostre—the goddess of spring and fertility. The sacred symbol of the goddess Ēostre was a hare, and rabbits have long been considered a symbol of fertility due to their ability to reproduce quickly and in large numbers. Eggs are a symbol of new life and rebirth, just as nature returns to life after the cold of winter.
In 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea first decided that Easter’s celebration should fall on the Sunday after the first full moon of the spring equinox. And thus Easter Sunday was born, and symbols associated with nature’s rebirth and renewal came to be associated with the rebirth or resurrection of Christ.

The One Immortal Blemish Upon The Human Race
"I condemn Christianity; I bring against the Christian church the most terrible of all the accusations that an accuser has ever had in his mouth. It is, to me, the greatest of all imaginable corruptions; it seeks to work the ultimate corruption, the worst possible corruption.
The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity; it has turned every value into worthlessness, and every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul. Let any one dare to speak to me of its "humanitarian" blessings! Its deepest necessities range it against any effort to abolish distress; it lives by distress; it creates distress to make itself immortal.
For example, the worm of sin: it was the church that first enriched mankind with this misery!—The "equality of souls before God"—this fraud, this pretext for the rancunes of all the base-minded—this explosive concept, ending in revolution, the modern idea, and the notion of overthrowing the whole social order—this is Christian dynamite.
The "humanitarian" blessings of Christianity forsooth! To breed out of humanitas a self-contradiction, an art of self-pollution, a will to lie at any price, an aversion and contempt for all good and honest instincts! All this, to me, is the "humanitarianism" of Christianity!—Parasitism as the only practice of the church; with its anaemic and "holy" ideals, sucking all the blood, all the love, all the hope out of life; the beyond as the will to deny all reality; the cross as the distinguishing mark of the most subterranean conspiracy ever heard of,—against health, beauty, well-being, intellect, kindness of soul—against life itself.
This eternal accusation against Christianity I shall write upon all walls, wherever walls are to be found—I have letters that even the blind will be able to see. I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough,—I call it the one immortal blemish upon the human race."

"Confessing the universal and therefore also exclusive mediation of salvation through Jesus Christ belongs to the core of Christian faith. So too does the confession of the one God, the God of Israel, who through his revelation in Jesus Christ has become totally manifest as the God of all peoples, insofar as in him the promise has been fulfilled that all peoples will pray to the God of Israel as the one God."

The Khazar Myth
The Khazar hypothesis of Ashkenazi ancestry was primarily launched and driven by three Jews. Arthur Koestler, the Jew who popularized the theory, stated (page 546) that "he was convinced that if he could prove that the bulk of Eastern European Jews were descended from the Khazars, the racial basis for anti-Semitism would be removed and anti-Semitism itself could disappear," despite overwhelming evidence disproving his case.
The theory is nothing but a Jewish distraction to scapegoat a non-existent group for Jewish crimes, which the Christian Identitarians are willfully forwarding, simply because they want to be Jews themselves.

"Christmas Carolling"
The tradition of going door-to-door singing to your neighbors comes from a pagan tradition called wassailing. The word comes from the Anglo-Saxon phrase of 'waes hael', translating to 'good health'. Every year, wassailers would roam through their villages in small groups, singing loudly with the aim of banishing evil spirits and wishing good health to those around them.
No wassailing group was complete without their traditional drink on hand—made from mulled ale, curdled cream, roasted apples, eggs, spices, and sugar. In the 13th century, St. Francis took inspiration from these happy choirs and started the tradition of Christmas carolling.

Belief Of The Blood
The key ingredient which ensures the survival of a race is its will to self-preservation and the persistent and unshakable folk consciousness that stems from a mutual indigenous belief. A cohesive belief MUST be established before an iron will and a collective consciousness of the folk can begin to develop.
Any form of religion or belief system that does not spring naturally from the soul of the race—that is not born of the blood—will ultimately destroy the threads which link men with nature and kinsmen with kinsmen. А race without a mythos and belief of the blood drifts aimlessly throughout history.

A Symbol Of Love
Kissing under sprigs of mistletoe is a well-known Christmas tradition, but this little plant's history as a symbolic herb dates back thousands of years. When the god Odin's son Baldur was prophesied to die, his mother Frigg, the goddess of love, went to all the animals and plants of the natural world to secure an oath that they would not harm him.
But Frigg neglected to consult with the unassuming mistletoe, so the scheming god Loki made an arrow from the plant and saw that it was used to kill the otherwise invincible Baldur. According to one sunnier version of the myth, the gods were able to resurrect Baldur from the dead. Delighted, Frigg then declared mistletoe a symbol of love and vowed to plant a kiss on all those who passed beneath it.

"All four [Gospels] contain numerous references to the Old Testament, something that would only be expected of elite and educated Jews. Matthew has the most references—something like 43 direct citations. Mark and Luke have about 20 each, John around 15. But if we include indirect references, parallel wording, and other allusions, the numbers double or triple. Even if the Gospels underwent later modification by Gentiles, this does not change their essentially Jewish nature."

Smuggling In The Christian Faith
According to one of the best-known Viking sagas, Haakon the Good, the 10th Century King of Norway, deliberately used the Yule celebrations to smuggle in the Christian faith. Having been raised as a Christian in England, Haakon practiced his religion in secret because 'the land was altogether heathen and much idolatry prevailed.'
However, he 'established in the laws that the Yule celebration was to take place at the same time as is the custom with the Christians.' In other words, turning it from a solstice festival into a celebration of Jesus. The saga goes on to to say that; 'Before that, Yule was celebrated on midwinter night,' and that the king 'coaxed those who were dearest to him into becoming Christians.'
