It was August 9, 1945. The Second World War was almost over.







As the second atomic bomb was falling on Nagasaki in southern Japan, Lieutenant Robert Hampton Gray was leading two flights of Corsair aircraft against airfields in the Matsushima area of northern Honshu.

Gray, a Canadian naval pilot serving with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, was flying with 1841 Squadron from the aircraft carrier His Majesty’s Ship (HMS) Formidable.

"The bottom fell out of life on board after it happened and the victory, when it came, seemed so hollow somehow. He was so well loved by us all and simply radiated happiness wherever he went."

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life.

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life. Things such as "Should I start crossing the street exactly now?" Or "should I touch this glowing object?" I wouldn't tell anyone to think otherwise- but when it comes down to things we all know should be thought out in proper, most people do tend to still fall into knee-jerk reactions. This isn't anything new for us as humans. The foundations of many ancient esoteric practices are at least in part designed to combat these sorts of reactions. Practices such as Taoism, Buddhism, Hermetics, and even Christianity. Eastern practices tend to lean farther towards speaking directly about dispelling the thought patterns that give rise to these types of reactions. But any spiritual path that includes "Unity" or "Onenes" involves dispelling what is most commonly known as "duality". The ...

BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN SENYA BERAKU.

Image
BEGINNING OF FORMAL EDUCATION IN SENYA BERAKU. The spirit of every society is its religion (what it believes in in terms of values and morals); the soul is in its education (what it learns and teaches) and the body is in its economy ( what it produces and distributes). The Senya Beraku community, like every African society, didn't receive its education system from the Europeans as we were deceived to believe. For the people of Senya, even writing, was already in existence before Europeans arrived, except that they used "biriw" (charcoal) to write on surfaces such as clay walls and the bare ground, giving birth to the adage, "Ɔni sɛnyi igowo" (Preserve it on walls), when sending warning to somebody, especially disobedient children. As a result the ancient writings  with such characters survive the test of time. But thank God the characters and the concept behind the building of the characters were successfully passed on to present generation. And I am privileged ...

Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body.

Image
Archaeologists have long suspected that some of the "heads" on Easter Island had a buried body. At the same time, the "giant heads," several meters high, were thought to be an exception. In fact, if these heads had an underlying body, they would have had to be real stone giants, at least 20 meters tall, to meet the proportions. Recent excavations have shown that the "giant heads" on Easter Island are actually buried "stone giants" whose heads emerged from the earth.. How did statues weighing several tons end up almost 20 meters deep? If they did it on purpose, how did they manage to do it without breaking them? Easter Island is little more than a small island. Where did they get the manpower to bury dozens and dozens of "stone giants" in the middle of the Ocean? Unanswered questions. ... The Egyptians were able to do similar things, but they had the manpower of an empire at their disposal. What labor force did the islanders of tiny Eas...

The last American slave ship docked

Image
"The last American slave ship docked illegally in Mobile, Alabama in 1860, carrying about 160 West African captives. Among them was Cudjo Lewis, who recognized how his birth culture might be erased while toiling in this new land. So when he was freed, he purchased two acres and started a self-sufficient community of survivors of the last slave ship. Known to outsiders as Africatown, Lewis' neighborhood was modeled on his West African home, where extended families lived together, members conversed in their regional languages, and partook in traditions that might otherwise be lost to them in America. Today, Africatown still exists and houses the descendants of the nation's last slave ship community.

The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship

Image
The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship , sank in 1628 AD, less than a mile into its maiden voyage due to design flaws. Its top-heavy structure, burdened by 64 bronze cannons, coupled with insufficient ballast, made it unstable and led to its quick demise. After spending 333 years on the sea floor, it was recovered in 1961 in nearly perfect condition. Now displayed at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, it is celebrated as the best-preserved ship from the 17th century. The cold, brackish waters of the Baltic Sea played a crucial role in preserving the Vasa and its artifacts, making its recovery and ongoing conservation a significant achievement in marine archaeology.

William "Bloody Bill" Cunningham (1756–1787) was an American loyalist infamous

Image
William "Bloody Bill" Cunningham (1756–1787) was an American loyalist infamous for perpetrating a series of bloody massacres in South Carolina's backcountry in the fall of 1781 as commander of a Tory militia regiment in the Revolutionary War. Though his family were loyal to the British crown, Cunningham initially enlisted in the Continental Army as part of the State of South Carolina's 3rd regiment in 1775. His tenure in the rebel army was an unhappy one and Cunningham changed sides to fight for the British in 1778. He earned the nickname "Bloody Bill" for the violent, ruthless nature of his raids on rebels and patriot civilians. 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 The Cunningham family emigrated from Scotland late in the 17th century, settling in Augusta County, Virginia. William was born in Virginia in 1756. When William was 10, the Cunningham family migrated to Ninety-Six, South Carolina, along the Saluda River in 1766, an area known for its fierce Whig-Tory rivalry tha...

THE RISE OF ISLAMISM AND 'ARABISM' IN AFRICA

THE RISE OF ISLAMISM AND 'ARABISM' IN AFRICA (a revolution, birthed in bloodshed and slavery) "Damn this world! Damn this time! Damn this fate! Where are your valiant warriors and priests? Where are your hunting parties and your feasts? Where is that war-like spirit? And where are those great armies that destroyed our country's foes? Count Iran as a ruin, as a lair of lions and leopards... Look now and despair." -Persian poet, Fedussi(transl: A. Sese, 2019) These words of lament were written in what is today Iran, when the Arabs forces and turks marched on Constantinople, a capital city of  Byzantium (eastern Roman empire that remained when Rome was destroyed by European barbarian tribes of the Goths and Lombards). Constantinople was in what is today Turkey, the birth place of Christendom in 325 CE, that was to be eclipsed by the forces of Islamism and Mohammedanism, beginning from 674 CE... and the famous church in that city, the Haggia Sophia, is today a mosque....

The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud.

Image
The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud, Silt, Sand, Pebbles and Boulders is based on the size of the Grains, this is because its all different stages of the same stuff being broken down. Petrified Cedar is chemically the same as Silica/Sand, Petrified Red Cedar Tree Sap is chemically the same as Quartz. There are companies that make sand from petrified wood (think of how much sand is in the world and where it all came from) this information is not based in theory but observable testable reality. Before the birth of the world we inhabit today, long before the fabricated 'recorded' history we've been fed was written, the entire Earth/Realm was a thriving Jungle, These Giant Trees Provided a canopy that would have covered the entire sky. The difference in size from an Ant to a Human is the scale between the Ancient Giant Trees and the Trees we have today. You need to throw all of the mainstream science supporting fake history in the bin, it's all bou...
