The Enslavement of the Anglo-Saxons 1/2
The Normans brought with them virulent economic changes. South African writer, Stephen Goodson, explained the Anglo-Saxon position on usury in his article for The Barnes Review, ‘The Hidden Origins of the Bank of England.’ There he says:
From A.D. 757 to his death in 791, the great King Offa ruled the kingdom of Mercia, one of the seven autonomous kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy. Offa was a wise and able administrator and a kindhearted leader, though he could be hard on his enemies. He established the first monetary system in England (as distinguished from Romano-Keltic Britain). On account of the scarcity of gold, he used silver for coinage and as a store of wealth. … In 787 Offa introduced a statute prohibiting usury: charging of interest on money lent. The laws against usury were further entrenched by King Alfred (r. 865–99), who directed that the property of usurers be forfeited, while in 1050 Edward the Confessor (1042–66) decreed not only forfeiture, but that a usurer be declared an outlaw and be banished for life. (Goodson, 5)
Another author, David C. Douglas, discusses the close relationship between the moneylenders and the Norman monarchy in his William the Conqueror: The Norman Impact Upon England. According to Douglas:
It is doubtful whether before the Conquest there had been any permanent Jewish settlements in England, but the existence of a Jewish community in Rouen during the central decades of the eleventh century is certain. Nor is there much doubt that a colony of these Rouen Jews came to England in the wake of the Conqueror, and was there established at his instigation. … He facilitated the advent of Jews into England, and Jewry in England was throughout the twelfth century to retain not only a predominantly French character, but also special connexions with the Anglo-Norman monarchy. (Douglas, 314)
We can gain a glimpse at how this changed the lives of the peasantry in Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and Donald N. Yates’ The Early Jews and Muslims of England and Wales: A Genetic and Genealogical History, wherein the authors explain that William’s reason for importing these moneylenders was to establish a new system of taxation whereby peasants would be forced to pay ‘in coin rather than in kind’ (Hirshmann and Yates, 61). Under the Anglo-Saxon system, a portion of a freeman’s homestead’s yield could be rendered to the crown as goods. This is why in films depicting early medieval England, peasants are depicted carrying bushels of wool, carts of livestock etc. to their overlord. The Anglo-Saxons did, of course, use coinage, but the Normans enforced a coin-only taxation system. The relationship between the money-lending community and the Norman economic shift is further elaborated on in an article entitled ‘Brentry: How Norman Rule Changed England’, wherein a staff writer for The Economist describes the changes brought in under William the Conqueror:
Jews arrived at William’s invitation, if not command, and introduced a network of credit links between his new English lands and his French ones. Unhindered by Christian usury laws, Jews were the predominant lenders in England by the 13th century. The discovery of precious metals from central European mines also helped get credit going. Jews settled in towns where there was a significant mint.

The Enslavement of the Anglo-Saxons 2/2
The author goes on to explain that these sweeping socio-economic changes went in tandem with the implementation of Norman domination across the landscape. Norman castles still dot the English landscape today, standing as testament to the iron fist of Norman rule. What many today do not understand, however, is that the castle building went hand in hand with the razing of Anglo-Saxon churches. Tourists today marvel at the splendour and prestige of Norman architecture without comprehending that both castles and cathedrals are symbols of the Norman oppression of the English in mind, body, spirit and economy. As mentioned above, Anglo-Saxons maintained a heavily Teutonic-centred cultural worldview in spite of their conversion to Christianity. In fact, these Christianized Teutons remained deeply animistic, as is evidenced in their continued belief in wights and spirits of the land, plants, and magical practices associated with medicine. Many pagan agricultural rituals continued to be practised with indigenous European imagery and deities swapped out for Christian ones.'

When someone claims "our ancestors peacefully converted to Christianity," it's essential to understand the historical complexities and violent aspects often involved in this process. Here's a detailed look at significant events and how Christian mythology was adapted to appeal to Germanic and other pagan peoples:
### Violent Conversions and Persecutions
1. Massacre of Verden (782): Charlemagne executed around 4,500 Saxons for resisting conversion during his campaign to Christianize the Saxons.
2. Christianization of Iceland (10th–11th centuries): Conversion involved coercion, with the Alþingi declaring Christianity the official religion to avoid conflict.
3. Persecution of the Bogomils (10th–15th centuries): This dualist Christian sect faced persecution from both the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches.
4. Northern Crusades (12th–13th centuries): Military campaigns by the Teutonic Order and Scandinavian kingdoms aimed at converting pagan Baltic and Finnic tribes through force.
5. Livonian Crusade (1198–1290): The Teutonic Order's campaigns to convert pagan tribes in modern-day Latvia and Estonia were often violent.
6. Crusade against the Bosnian Christians (1235–1241): Pope Gregory IX's crusade led to forced conversions of the Bosnian Church, perceived as heretical.
7. Stedinger Crusade (1234–1238): This military campaign aimed at coercing the Stedingers in Northern Germany into Christianity.
8. Albigensian Crusade (1209–1229): Targeting the Cathars in Southern France, this crusade led to their eradication and forced conversions.
9. Persecution of Heretical Movements (13th–14th centuries): Various movements, such as the Cathars and Waldensians in Italy, faced severe persecution from the Catholic Church.
10. Burning of the Templars (1312): The suppression of the Knights Templar involved accusations of heresy and execution, reflecting religious coercion.
11. Christianization of the Baltic Finns (12th–13th centuries): Swedish and German efforts to convert the Baltic Finns involved significant coercion.
12. Witch Hunts in France (14th–17th centuries): Many women and men were executed for alleged witchcraft, often those who defied societal norms or practiced traditional healing.
13. Witch Hunts in Germany: The Holy Roman Empire witnessed numerous witch trials and executions, particularly in regions like Germany.
14. The Torsåker Witch Trials (1675): In Sweden, many were executed for alleged witchcraft, reflecting societal hysteria.
15. Inquisition in Spain (1478–1834): The Spanish Inquisition targeted religious minorities and suspected heretics, enforcing orthodoxy through persecution.
### Adaptation of Christianity to Pagan Beliefs
The version of Christianity presented to Germanic and other pagan peoples often bore little resemblance to modern Christianity. Here are some ways Christian mythology was adapted:
- Norse Poem (10th century): Jesus was depicted at Urðarbrunnr, "the well of fate," beneath the world tree from Heathen myth.
- Heliand (830 AD): Jesus addressed his disciples from the water’s edge, akin to Odin's role at the well of memory.
- Dream of the Rood: Jesus was portrayed as a "young warrior" and the cross as a conscious sacred tree.
- Anglo-Saxon Gospels: The word “thegn,” referring to a military attendant of a Germanic lord, was used for God’s angels and Christ’s disciples.
- Use of Heathen Terminology: The word for the underworld, “Hell,” was retained with its associated imagery from Heathen myth.
- Harrowing of Hell: Jesus rescued noble pagans from Hell, suggesting that Germanic people could still dwell with their ancestors in the afterlife.
- Depiction in Old English Exodus: Jews were depicted like Anglo-Saxons, with Moses defeating enemies in battle.
- God Sceaf and Noah: Sceaf, a Teutonic god, was said to be the son of the biblical Noah.

The 4500 Saxons Charlemagne executed were all the leaders of tribes as well. Even this puff piece admits as much "it is fair to say that the 4500 Saxons who perished were not prisoners of war; legally, they were ringleaders in a rebellion, selected as such from a number of their fellow rebels"

Early Christianity rewarded Anti-family behavior
Christianity vilifies racial and familial bonds. In early Christianity, verses like above were taken seriously, and rewarded:
Antifamilial Tendencies in Ancient Christianity,
Elizabeth A. Clark, Journal of the History of Sexuality 1995
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household."Matthew 10:34-37
Christianity vilifies racial and familial bonds. In early Christianity, verses like above were taken seriously, and rewarded:
'One of the most dramatic stories of the early Christian ascetic rejection of family is recounted in John Cassian's Institutes. He tells the tale of a certain Patermutus, who wished to join a monastery in the company of his young son. To test Patermutus's ascetic resolve, the child was struck, abused, and left to wallow in his own dirt, tears smudging his grimy face. Yet the abbot of the monastery had a harder test in store: he ordered Patermutus to throw his son into the fast-flowing river--and Patermutus did. Unknown to the father, the abbot had stationed two monks by the shore to rescue the child from drowning. The point of the story, however, centers not on the fate of the child but on Patermutus's obedience: he was proved such a worthy renunciant that he later assumed the abbot's place as head of the monastery. To us the tale signals child abuse; to ascetic listeners of yore, Patermutus was a hero copying "the deed of Abraham."'p 365-366

Christianity was not designed to create a functional society. It does just the opposite.
No, Christianity was designed to do one thing, and one thing only. It was designed to eradicate native European spirituality—paganism. That's all it's for. This is why Christianity has been powerless to stop the left, from the French Revolution onward. It has not won a single battle.
Christianity was not designed to defeat the left. It was designed to defeat your folk spirit. This is why groypers and other modern Christians are worried about the rise of paganism.

The existence of martyrs or of popular consensus does not contradict this. Even Paul and the Talmud fail to mention Christ in a historical context.
Not only is the central figure of Christianity fabricated, he is neither European nor opposed to Judaism if he did exist. Christianity overall is foreign to Europe, its Israelites and Scripture the same. The anti-pagan attitudes of Christianity are identical to the Jewish hatred and fear of Paganism, which is why Jews actually embrace Christianity and Christianity preserves the Jews.
Christianity massively contributed to the decline of Rome, damaging an ancient world which was purer, less degenerate, virtuous, and more sexually moral than what we see today in the divisive and derivative religion of Christianity. Christianity was not foundational to the United States or the Constitution, and has nothing to do with the abilities of Europeans.
Christianity is henotheistic, incredibly judaising, with stolen pagan holidays and stolen pagan traditions. Christianity forced itself upon European populations, from the English and Germans and Saxons to the Poles and Prussians, Rus, and Norse. Furthermore, the Christian teaching goes against nature, undermines our survival instincts, corrodes tribal thinking, promotes anti-european ideas, precipitates Leftism and Communism, and is consistently dishonest and pacifying while at the same time being Zionistic, Jewish, univeralist, and never nationalistic.
Christianity will not save you, lest you succumb to this Jewish ploy of spiritual warfare. To follow Christianity is to accept slavery, the Jewish prophecy of dominating and ultimately destroying gentiles."

“Christian societies have never come to the realization that the Mosaic covenant is nothing but a program for world domination by the Jewish nation. That is because it is written right under their nose, in a book whose malice they cannot recognize because they have been told it is the Word of God. It takes a free-thinker like H. G. Wells to see the biblical idea of the Chosen People for what it is: ‘a conspiracy against the rest of the world*.’”

Saints were usually made up by monks to dissolve cults to local deities
Comments on “Ten Things You Might Not Know About Christmas” by Addicting Info
This quote is funny but it is accurate and backed up by serious research, such as Philippe Walter's "Christian Mythology: Revelations of Pagan Origins." This book is academic/not an easy read, but it is a good reference/starting point of where to start looking for all the roots of saints, holidays etc.
When one is a student of Medieval Studies, one becomes familiar with a genre of writing not well known by the general public: hagiography. Hagiography is a genre of literature dealing specifically with saints’ lives. However, it differs from biography because hagiographies were written with an agenda to spread the Catholic cult of saints. They were very popular during periods of conversion, when the church targeted locally venerated deities and attempted to replace them with Christian saints. One such swap out is very well known – goddess Brigid to Saint Brigid.
In their campaign to build up the saint while diminishing the god, hagiographers literally made shit up. Straight up inventions based on nothing but the imagination of the writer. They bullshitted their way through it. Sometimes a real figure could be used as a model, and then merged with the god they were trying to erase. But the lives were typically completely contrived, and all manner of miracles and benevolent acts were ascribed to the newly invented saint.

Ancestor Veneration Boosts Intellect and Confidence
Native Europeans spent far more time praying to their own ancestor's spirits than they would the gods, contrary to many misconceptions about pagans. The gods were busy, but your own ancestors have a blood tie to YOU and a vested interest in your well being, happiness, and success.
From the article "The Ancestor Effect: Thinking about our roots boosts intellect and confidence":

It should be clear why Christianity directly vilified ancestor veneration as "demonic idolatry", where the meaning of "demon" is guiding spirit.
Native Europeans spent far more time praying to their own ancestor's spirits than they would the gods, contrary to many misconceptions about pagans. The gods were busy, but your own ancestors have a blood tie to YOU and a vested interest in your well being, happiness, and success.
From the article "The Ancestor Effect: Thinking about our roots boosts intellect and confidence":
"In the first study, the subjects consisted of two experimental groups and a control. A third of the subjects were instructed to think about their deep roots from the 15th century, another third to think about their great grandparents, and the control group did no such preparation.
What were the subjects specifically asked to think about? They were told to imagine their ancestors, how they lived, their professions and their families, the trials they faced, and what these ancestors would tell them if they were around today.
Results indicated that both groups that looked back performed significantly better on the problem-solving test than the control.
The second study by the same research group then extended these findings with a less obvious direction: by having the experimental group construct a family tree before taking a battery of intelligence tests. In this way, the experimental group was not told exactly what to think, but still had to consider their ancestors to complete the activity.
Again, the group that meditated upon their roots performed better on the test scores. They also scored higher on a test of “perceived life control.” In other words, those who considered their pasts said they felt more control over their life, career, and ability to best adversaries than those who did not.
The group was still not satisfied with the conclusions. What is this ancestor effect? How does “ancestral salience” work? The researchers, comprised of social psychologists from Germany and Austria, conducted a third study to test if thinking about living ancestral relatives (grandparents and great grandparents) versus distant ancestors made a difference. The test scores of this group were compared to a control group that was instructed to think about a close friend who is still living.
This time, both family groups outperformed the friends group, but with no significant difference between the deep ancestral groups and the living ancestral groups. So the effect is not simply due to thinking about people you like and who happen to be alive."

Christianity.com shows how the bible allows jews to practice usury, but gentiles are forbidden from it.
https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/what-is-usury-what-does-the-bible-say.html
In the Old Testament, the Israelites were forbidden from charging “usury,” or interest, on loans to fellow Jews (Deuteronomy 23:19), but they were permitted to charge interest on loans to foreigners (Deuteronomy 23:20). A mention of this usury law in Leviticus 25:35-38 makes it apparent that it applied to loans made to fellow Israelites who were in poverty. Having to pay back the loan with “usury,” or interest, would only put them further into debt and was not beneficial to the economy. Loans to foreigners, however, were considered international business and approved. This law served as a reminder to the Jews that helping those in need is something that should be done without requiring anything in return.
Most of the loans we know of in modern terms come from banks, and the Bible doesn’t speak much about this. Although the Bible does not explicitly forbid the charging of interest, it does warn against becoming too concerned with money, teaching us(gentiles) that we cannot serve both God and money at the same time (Matthew 6:24). We are cautioned that wanting to be rich leads to despair and that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil (1 Timothy 6:9-10).

Debunking CI Propaganda: False claim that Judeans/Judahites aren't Jews
In hebrew:
yehudi = jew
yehudah = judea
Etymology of "Nation": "birth, origin; breed, stock, kind, species; race of people, tribe,"
Germany = a nation of Germans
Hebrew:
Yehudah = a nation of Yehudi
Or in Greek:
Ioudaiã = a nation of Ioudaios
Judea = a nation of Jews
Because the English translation doesn't show the clear connection between the nation Judea and Jews, CI propaganda insinuates any race of people living in Judea could be called Judean.
Essentially this is the magic soil argument, that a Japanese person that moves to England is now "English". Prior to WW2 this denial of race/nation was unheard of.
Simply reading the terms in their original Hebrew/Greek forms makes it clear, Jew/Judean is the same relationship as German/Germany, English/England, Italian/Italy etc. Judea/Yehudah was a nation of Jews/Yehudi.
The jewish religion is called Judaism for this reason.
Judahite:
a member of the Hebrew tribe of Judah
a member of the Kingdom of Judah composed of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin
Judean:
"The exile of Judah came in 586 BCE, when large numbers of the inhabitants were deported to Babylon. From then on, "Judean" came to be the principle term for a follower of the Mosaic religion, and it has remained so to the present day"

Christianity Accelerated the Financial Collapse of Rome
Usury was an issue in ancient Rome as it has been ever since. Despite Julias Caesar's efforts to stop it (which he was then assassinated for shortly after), it continued on and then went into overdrive with the overtaking of the government by Christianity:

Usury was an issue in ancient Rome as it has been ever since. Despite Julias Caesar's efforts to stop it (which he was then assassinated for shortly after), it continued on and then went into overdrive with the overtaking of the government by Christianity:
"In 313AD Christianity was tolerated by the Edict of Milan and from 380AD was established as the official religion by Emperor Theodosius I (347-395AD). From this time monetary power resided in the religious authority of the pontifex maximus. A feature of the imperial era was social injustice and the undermining of the middle classes through excessive taxation. The Roman businessman was not a trader, but a looter of the provinces, as the homeland had a weak industrial production base, which was incapable of providing the required manufactured goods. As the monetarisation of society continued, with the rich parasitising of the common man, the plebians became more like slaves. The abolition of the jury system was symptomatic of the declining respect and importance for the common man in Roman society.
Role of the Church in the Decline and Fall
The tax that Emperor Constantine decreed, viz. that 1/10 of all income had to be tithed to the Christian church, hastened the destruction of the empire. Eventually the Church held one third to one half of all lands and accumulated wealth. This concentration of wealth produced a great scarcity of coinage. Money existed, but there was no circulation or distribution of goods and services. Instead of recycling the tithed money by means of investment in the community or charitable works such as construction of hospitals, schools and libraries, vast hoards of gold were concentrated behind the 20 foot (6.1m) thick walls of the fortress city of Constantinople and the Vatican fortress in Rome.
In its last years in the fifth and sixth centuries the Roman Empire had become a parasitic organism, subject to alternating phases of inflation and deflation. Its economic ruination preceded its political ruination. There was no industrial production, almost all food had to be imported and usury was practised on an unprecedented scale. The wealth of the empire that was not held by the Church, was controlled by 2,000 Roman families. The rest of the population lived in poverty.
[...]
Major factors in the decline of the Roman Empire were the concentration of wealth,[7] the absence of mining deposits for industrial production, and the vast importation of non-White slaves with the resultant degradation of the genetic value of the nation. By the 4th century AD, as a result of the continuing decline in Roman female fertility, slaves outnumbered citizens by five to one. The most important economic reason was an inadequate supply of an inexpensive circulating medium of money and the false notion that money should be a commodity. Thus from an economic perspective, the lessons from the fall of Rome are that a dishonest economic system will inevitably contribute to the forces of dissolution. No society can survive a false economic system. For any society to function and prosper it is absolutely fundamental that the means of exchange be issued free of debt and interest by the legal authority of the state as representatives of the people in perpetuity."

All evident and secondary information proves Hitler was a non-Christian. He explicitly expresses disdain for St. Paul, corroborated by his peers such as Goebbels. Official NSDAP literature, refer to Der Schulungsbrief, criticises Paul as being foreign and subversive. They consider Israelites to be Old Testament Jews, Hitler himself calling Abraham the perverted progenitor of Jews. Hitler's Mentor, Dietrich Eckart, wrote a dialogue, Bolsevism from Moses to Lenin, which was later mirrored in an official NSDAP document titled 'Bolshevism in the Bible'.
It is a common theme, much like the disapproval of Paul and rejection of Yahweh for being a Jewish God, for the NSDAP and Hitler to disparage the Old Testament, such as Hitler sending compliments to an anti-Christian author or preaching the opposite of its teachings. The SS lays bare that the Christian religion as a whole is negative and undermines the Germanic race.
Neither the party nor the SS accepted any official religion. Christianity especially was intended to phase out, in many cases be forced out. Himmler in particular looked at the Church with disgust and acknowledged it to be foreign. The leading National Socialists refused the Christian religion, a religion which, in Hitler's words, helped corrode and collapse Rome.
The Catholic Church, Popes and all, not only confirmed all this, but outright condemned the National Socialist state for it. Adding to this, Catholics plotted against the NSDAP in several ways, going so far as to threaten the Führer's life. National Socialism is unabashedly Nietzschean, deeply anti-Semitic, rooted in Science and Nature, completely Race First, and therefore not Christian.

"An article by an author using the pen-name ‘Spengler’ on the Christian web-journal called First Things sheds some light on this. The article, ‘Christian, Muslim, Jew’, highlights the writings of a Jewish rabbi called Franz Rosenzweig. While Rosenzweig died in 1929, the author says that his philosophy was especially popular in the post-WWII era. Spengler describes World War II as a war between Abrahamism and ‘neopaganism’, saying that ‘after neopaganism nearly conquered Europe, Rosenzweig’s contention that Christianity requires the presence of the Jews found great resonance.’ He continues
Pagans, Rosenzweig explained, have only the fragile and ultimately futile effort to preserve their physical continuity through blood and soil. Their hope for immortality takes the form of a perpetual fight for physical existence, which one day they must lose. Rosenzweig’s sociology of religion thus offers unique insights into the origin and nature of civilizational conflict when he argues that a pagan people, ever sentient of the fragility of their existence, are always prepared to fight to the death.
Much has been said over the years about paganism continuing to live on in the hearts and minds of ethnic Europeans. Rosenzweig’s view is that the presence of Jews in the West is a sort of paternalistic role which stops Europeans from reverting to paganism, with Gnostic Christianity being a form of Christianity that merges indigenous spiritual worldview with Abrahamic scripture. Spengler says that Rosenzweig ‘began a new kind of dialogue between Judaism and Christianity when he argued that the two faiths complement each other: Christianity to propagate revelation to the world, and Judaism to “convert the inner pagan” inside each Christian.’ He later continues, ‘Rosenzweig’s most influential claim holds that the Jew “converts the inner pagan” inside the Christian, such that the living presence of the Jewish people creates a counterweight to the Gnostic impulses in Christianity.’
Rosenzweig’s worldview clearly saw Judaism and Christianity working together in unity against a ‘blood and soil’ worldview. Paganism is essentially ancestor worship and nature veneration, literally blood and soil. And, according to Rosenzweig, without the guiding hand of Judaism, Europeans would fall back into this belief system. Spengler explains, ‘Rosenzweig argues that pagan society cannot foster authentic human individuality but dissolves the individual into an extension of race or state.’ This explains quite well how closely paganism is tied to ethnicity, whereas Christianity, guided by Judaism, is supposed to function as a universalizing force transcending racial boundaries. He continues on:
In pagan society, where God remains unrevealed, the individual exists only as an organ of the collective of state or race. The pagan’s sense of immortality therefore depends solely on the perpetuation of his race, and his most sacred act is to sacrifice himself in war to postpone the inevitable day when his race will go down in defeat.
