A Dutch company is attempting to destroy European culture and heritage by carving out a quarry in Bremamger, Norway. The site contains rock art made by our Stone Age ancestors that is over 8000 years old. BruteNorse put it best in saying that Vingen is one of the most unspoiled petroglyph sites in all of Europe, but it won't be for much longer if this quarry goes through. Join me, along with others in signing this petition to help stop this desecration of ancient European culture and heritage from taking place. We won twice with Stonehenge, let's do it again here: https://www.petitions.net/stopp_steinbruddet_i_bremanger_stop_the_building_of_a_quarry_in_bremanger_norway?fbclid=PAAaY4guRcICDWjO3R4aKG9lVaUtzWUtWHj27GE8Mku0rebx-FWcDtJN5L0Ro

"A grove there was, untouched by men's hands from ancient times, whose interlacing boughs enclosed a space of darkness and cold shade, and banished the sunlight from above.... On those boughs - if antiquity, reverential of the gods, deserves any credit - birds feared to perch; in these coverts wild beasts would not lie down; no wind ever bore down upon that wood, nor thunderbolt hurled from the black clouds; the trees, even when they spread their leaves to no breeze, rustled of themselves. Water, also, fell there in abundance from dark springs. The images of the gods, grim and rude, were uncouth blocks formed from felled tree trunks." - from the Pharsalia by Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39 C.E. – 65 C.E.), talking about a sacred grove that was destroyed by Gaius Iulius Caesar near modern day Marseille, France (Image: Mondscheinlandschaft, Carl Gustav Carus, 1859) @oakwhispers

Hail to the White North! Hyperborean dream.

The city of Ulm after Operation Garfish at 17th December 1944, a Third Advent sunday like this year. The result of 23 minutes of Allied bombing. 100,000 bombs, over 95,000 of which were incendiary bombs. No ground combat ever took place here.

Operation Garfish 23 minutes - that's how long the 1944 bombing raid in my birthplace Ulm lasted, reducing the city to rubble and ashes. Hundreds of people died and thousands were left homeless. With the transmission of the code word "Garfish", British Air Marshal Arthur Harris sealed Ulm's fate on the morning of 17 December 1944. Then, on the evening of the third Sunday in Advent 1944, the sirens were once again wailing in Ulm - nothing unusual, as the city on the Danube with its important industrial companies such as Magirus and Wieland as well as the large goods railway station had already been the target of several Allied air raids before. But that evening, everything was different: between 7.23 pm and 7.50 pm, around 300 British, Canadian and Australian bombers flew an attack in three waves, which was not directed against industrial or railway facilities, but hit the old town with full force, dropping around 100,000 explosive and incendiary bombs, that's almost 2 bombs per citizen, over Ulm on this foggy sunday and brought death and destruction to the city and its inhabitants. Within a few minutes, the historic centre of Ulm was transformed into a landscape of rubble, the explosive and incendiary bombs ignited a firestorm in the narrow streets of the old town, from which there was no escape for many people. Many Ulm residents also suffocated in the city's air raid shelters, which became deadly traps for women, children and old people seeking shelter. 707 people died and the historic city centre lay in ruins, with only the cathedral standing out largely unscathed. Over 600 residents were wounded and around 25,000 were left homeless. After the bombing, more than 80 per cent of the city centre was destroyed.

Die Statue der Aphrodite wurde 1942 von Adolf Hitler der Stadt Linz gestiftet. Es handelte sich um den Zweitabguss einer Statue des NSDAP-Mitglieds und Bildhauers Wilhelm Wandschneider. Die Statue wurde in einem Säulenpavillon im Bauernbergpark aufgestellt, der seitdem auch als Aphrodite-Tempel bekannt war. Das Original war in der Reichskanzlei in Berlin ausgestellt. Die Linzer Aphrodite wurde 2008 in fortlaufenden Anstrengungen, Geschichte auszulöschen, entfernt.
