The VT4A1 has an onboard drone that extends the battlefield observation of the tank crew to 10 kilometers. It is vertically mounted, next to the wind sensor on top of the turret.
Image taken from CGTN video, 07NOV2022.
It also has anti-tank missile detectors on the sides of the turret. The 125mm gun is enhanced by the use of new types of rounds fired from the gun.
Hour long CGTN report, from 06NOV2022, which starts off explaining the new VT4A1:
I have not found any People’s Liberation Army videos or photos of any Chinese units actually using the VT4, it appears to be an export only tank, so far with Pakistan the only customer.
Pakistan received its first VT4s in 2020, then placed an order for more VT4s in 2022, and is considering license building them.
“Fully trained and full of conviction, the Costa Rican Coast Guard will return to their country prepared and ready to play a transformational role protecting its waters and safeguarding Costa Rica territory from a scourge of drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal fishing and other illicit activities.”-Sharon Day, U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica
Costa Rican Coast Guard accepts the gift of two patrol boats in Baltimore, Maryland, 13FEB2018
The U.S. Coast Guard gave (free of charge) the Costa Rican navy two 33.5 meters (110 feet) long patrol boats. Apparently ‘small gifts’ were also exchanged at the ceremony as the U.S. Coast Guard logged accounting records of such gifts.
The U.S. ambassador to Costa Rica, Sharon Day, claims the gift of $18-million USD worth of Island Class patrol boats to the central American country is going to have a ‘global impact’ in the new war on drugs.
According to The Baltimore Sun, Costa Rica’s public security minister claims there is an expected “cocaine tsunami” coming our way!
This donation of Island Class patrol boats is not the first. In the recent past Pakistan and Georgia also got two each of the U.S. taxpayer funded Coast Guard cutters.
Rear Admiral Michael J. Haycock explained that if they can’t sell decommissioned boats then they just give them away, because, he claims, scrapping them would actually cost more!
“To our surprise, almost 40% of all animal deaths in Taï National Park we investigated were attributable to anthrax.”-Emmanuel Couacy-Hymann, Ivorian Animal Health Institute.
It’s been two years since I wrote about the bacteria anthrax, and guess what? There’s a new mystery “hybrid” version popping up in tropical Africa.
This is significant because anthrax was never considered a tropical disease. Reports say a new strain of anthrax is wiping out the chimpanzee population in Ivory Coast. Other animals are being killed as well. The new bacteria was actually discovered in 2004, it was considered harmless then, being called Bacillus cereus. It evolved into a new type of anthrax called Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) by somehow acquiring anthrax DNA.
In 2016 Russia‘s Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Яма́ло-Не́нецкий автоно́мный о́круг) was hit by a massive anthrax outbreak, 115 people infected, one person died. The Ministry of Defense deployed chemical units to decontaminate the region using 30 tons of ‘biologically active agents’, as well as evacuate humans. This year about 800-thousand reindeer will be vaccinated against anthrax. Interestingly the area is one of Russia’s largest oil producers. Scientist are blaming the 2016 outbreak on a reindeer mass grave: “There are thousands of such cattle graves across Russia and many of them are inside the Arctic Circle.”-Sergey Netesov, Novosibirsk State University
In the European country of Romania two people are confirmed sick with anthrax. Investigators think the husband and wife got infected by animals.
In the Bajaur Agency of Pakistan 26 livestock died of anthrax, vaccination of remaining livestock is underway. Apparently military forces had to protect the veterinarians sent in to vaccinate the herds.
In Nepal, a pregnant rhino found dead in a forest tested positive for anthrax. Administrators of Chitwan National Park are concerned about a possible anthrax outbreak because since 2016 at least 25 rhinos suddenly died.
In Saskatchewan, Canada, a woman was charged with 83 counts of sending anthrax in the mail! Apparently it was some kinda complicated bad joke because a woman from South Carolina, United States, posted a video saying “We made those packages together, with the cookies and rockets and tissue paper. People will think the baking soda is anthrax.” The woman from South Carolina said she was paid to make the video and that she was told it was a promotion for a book. She also contacted police in Saskatchewan, but was told the investigator she needed to talk to was on vacation. The Saskatchewan woman pled not guilty to the 83 charges.
In United States, so far 13 cows have died in Pennington County, South Dakota. Increased cases of anthrax killing livestock being blamed on climate change. News reports say the cows died “rapidly” and people are being told to avoid animals that suddenly died. Vaccination of herds is underway.
Last week the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) confirmed five cows infected in Crockett County: “Producers are encouraged to remain vigilant and consult with their local veterinary practitioner if they suspect their animals are affected with anthrax or are interested in vaccinating their livestock.”-Susan Rollo, TAHC
In Maryland, the biotech company Altimmune took over biodefense company PharmAthene, both companies specialize in vaccine research for influenza, hepatitis and anthrax.
Berlin polizei released the man they’ve been claiming was the driver of the truck that plowed into a Xmas Market yesterday. The Pakistani asylum seeker was arrested near the scene of the attack, and original Deutschland main stream news media reports said he had been chased by a witness (which turns out is not true, so much for the ‘real’ news media versus ‘fake’ news). Essentially xenophobic witnesses simply grabbed the nearest ‘foreigner’ and claimed they saw him getting out of the truck. This means the true driver escaped. It also implies that nobody saw the driver of the truck.
Believe it or not, it appears the truck was stopped by an Xmas Tree!
Polizei also released more details about the ‘passenger’. They now believe the dead man from Polska was the original company driver, he died from being shot and stabbed numerous times. Polizei say the Pakistani man they released had no blood, or gunpowder residue, on him. They also released info from the truck’s ‘black box’ recorders.
About the time the Polska company lost contact with their driver the data devices on the truck show it was started and stopped numerous times, as if somebody was learning how to drive the Scania semi. The truck circled the Xmas Market several times before reaching approximately 80 kph (50 mph) when it rammed the shoppers.
Finger pointing has gotten so bad that one Deutschland news article actually blames Edward Snowden and Wikileaks, accusing their revelations of our government’s involvement in False Flag operations as somehow allowing these terrorist actions to happen!

On 23 March I wrote how war refugees and migrants have become “the greatest & most profitable Human Trafficking op ever!”On the same day, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed that the migrations of ‘unaccompanied’ children into the U.S. are now at record levels.
“We are all aware there was a tremendous border surge in FY 2014 and preliminary statistics show that the border surge in the current fiscal year 2016 may exceed that number…”-Jan Ting, Temple University, testifying to House Subcommittee on National Security and Government Operations on 24 March
And stop blaming ‘Mexicans’ only (by the end of 2012 the number of Mexican migrants actually hit a record low!), ever since the illegal War on Terror began there’s been a surge in immigrants from south of Mexico and the other side of the world: “My border patrol agents, when they arrest people and they are not from Mexico, all they have to do is claim a ‘credible fear.’ If they are from a ‘special interest country’ we notify the FBI immediately. We won’t interview those individuals. For instance when we arrested the Pakistanis and Afghanis they were immediately turned over to the FBI.”-Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, testifying to House Subcommittee on National Security and Government Operations on 24 March
But guess what? The U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed that the now ‘traditional’ Summer time surge in child migrants happens right at the same time your ‘elected’ representatives go on their Summer vacation (July 15 to September 6), and Border Patrol has already captured a record number so far this year: “As of January 31 this fiscal year, CBP has apprehended more than 20,000 [unaccompanied children], compared to approximately 10,000 apprehended during the same period last year. As we enter the traditional season of higher migration, we are closely monitoring this situation and working with our partners to ensure that resources and capabilities are in place to accommodate an increased number….”-Ronald Vitiello, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, testifying to House Subcommittee on National Security and Government Operations on 24 March
Interestingly in 2014 the U.S. approved 86% of migrants’ claims that they were fleeing ‘for fear of their lives’, which qualifies them for more taxpayer support. And for proof of increased illegal immigration from all over the world, since Barack Obama became commander in chief a record 400-thousand have been deported!
Afghanistan: The death toll from the attack on U.S. led NATO’s Kandahar air base, is now at 50. It was revealed that only 11 Mujahideen attacked the base. Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security has resigned citing policy differences with President Ashraf Ghani. Mujahideen have liberated the Khanashin District of Helmand Province. 14 government forces killed , 11 wounded. Government forces claim they killed 50 Mujahideen.
Australia: The British empire False Flaggers have arrested a 20 year old man and a 15 years old boy for being terrorists. Australia’s Federal Police claim their evidence against the two was collected in December 2014!
Canada: British empire False Flaggers have ordered their security forces on alert after somebody claimed False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created terrorists were going to bomb Toronto. This comes after Canadian administrators finally agreed to investigate the genocide of thousands of Native American women, which took place from 1980 to 2013!
China: People’s Liberation Army Air Force says the U.S. deployment of spy planes to Singapore threatens peace. The PLAAF will now spy on the U.S. spy planes.
Egypt: In Cairo, two insurgents riding a motorcycle assassinated an undercover cop. The policeman was not wearing a uniform, so the insurgents obviously discovered he was a cop. To prove the current Egyptian government is a puppet regime, they released a convicted Israeli-Arab spy from prison.
Finland: Police arrested two Iraqis and accused them of being members of False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]), and of killing 11 Iraqi civilians in 2014.
Iraq: U.S. NATO member Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan is refusing to comply with Iraq’s demands to vacate the premises. As a result Iraq’s Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has ordered “no mercy” to any country that violates Iraq’s sovereignty. A Iraqi Kurd won $6.4-million USD in the Powerball Megabucks lottery in the U.S. He bought the ticket, legally, from the state of Oregon through the internet.
Japan: The neo-imperialist government accuses China of sending two warships into Japanese water around the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. China claims the islands. Tokyo police claim the ‘terrorist’ who blew up a public toilet (at the evil Yasukuni Shrine) is a Korean, based on DNA testing. The Yasukuni Shrine honors Japan’s convicted war criminals, as far as I know no other country has a shrine that honors convicted war criminals (so who’s the real terrorists?).
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: The U.S. ally is approaching a new record for number of people executed. So far in the Gregorian year 2015, 151 people have had their heads chopped off, many were not even Arabs! The majority were accused of being drug smugglers, because the drug smuggling Saudi princes don’t like competition. In 1995 KSA executed a record 192 people!
Kaesong Joint Industrial Zone
Korea: Republic of Korea (RoK) arrested a labor leader on charges of illegal public demonstrations. The U.S. ally RoK is under martial law, since the 1970s. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) revealed they now have Hydrogen bombs. The DPRK is demanding a full blown peace treaty to replace the 1950s cease fire, so far the United States refuses, but today the DPRK and Republic of Korea (RoK) began talking peace at the Kaesong Joint Industrial Zone on the DPRK side of the border. These peace talks come as dip-noodle U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power stated that the U.S. and Japan will work together against DPRK.
Lebanese forces near the town of Arsal, in their ongoing battles with U.S. backed Nusra Front
Lebanon: Lebanese Resistance Forces Hezbollah reports killing nine False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Nusra Front insurgents near the town of Arsal.
Palestine: U.S. taxpayers are funding a new Israeli anti-ballistic missile system called Arrow 3. Israel claims they conducted a successful launch today, the missile is jointly developed by IAI and Boeing. A known Israeli terrorist, and his wife, were hit by bullets from a drive by shooter. The member of the Jewish Underground, along with his wife, were only wounded. Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a Palestinian in al-Khalil. Israel’s National Insurance Institute has revealed their Zionist system is a failure; 1.7-million Jews, or 22% of their population, are poverty stricken due to austerity measures!
Switzerland: The once secure, and neutral, country where every adult male is required by law to have a machine gun in their house (unless they claim pacifism) is now pissing themselves over claims that False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created terrorists are going to bomb their precious cities.
Syria: Syrian Arab Army liberated the towns of al-Hamra and Zeitan from the control of the False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Nusra Front. At least 50 insurgents killed. More than 20 “strategic” locations in Latakia Governorate liberated. More than 150 insurgents killed in Hama Governorate. In Daraa Governorate, Syria Arab Army liberated 14 city blocks of al-Balad, and eight blocks of al-Mahata. U.S. led NATO backed insurgents continue to retreat into Turkey. Kurdish and Arab allies formed the new political party Syrian Democratic Council and the militia Syrian Democratic Forces. In Hasaka Governorate, Social Affairs began distributing 40-thousand pieces of winter clothing thanks to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), as well as 1,800 food items and 17-thousand non-food items.
According to initial reports at least 15 people killed in Tal Tamer (Til Temir) town after U.S. NATO backed DAIISH insurgents blew up three truck bombs. Russian news reports say 60 people were killed and more than 80 wounded, and that in typical U.S.-Israeli style the truck bombers targeted a hospital.
Video of Kurdish YPG (male) and YPJ (female) forces repelling attacks by False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]) :
The Democratic Self-Administration of Rojava is condemning the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for banning them from taking part in the so called Riyadh Syria Peace Talks. Iran has revealed that KSA is allowing DAIISH and other ‘western’ insurgent groups to attend the so called peace talks. It was discovered when one of the insurgent groups, Ahrar al-Sham, walked out of the meeting in protest. The Riyadh Syria Peace Talks are preliminary to UN brokered talks sometime in January 2016.
Tunisia: This North African country won yet another Nobel Peace Prize (this time awarded by the Royal Family of Norway themselves) despite the fact that it’s been revealed that more than 7-hundred Tunisian women are members of False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]).
Turkey: Fellow NATO member Germany began landing their Tornado recon planes in Turkey, along with other support planes and even ships in the Mediterranean Sea.
Ukraine/Novorossia: The Washington DC based International Monetary Fund (IMF) violated its own rules about debt repayment, they made special changes for the financially broke U.S. Nato backed Ukrainian puppet government. Russia will counter by taking legal actions that could cost the IMF a lot of money. The United Nations estimates that 9-thousand people have been killed since the U.S.-EU-NATO instigated ‘revolution’ began in April 2014.
United Kingdom: British empire cops in London say they shot and killed a man during an “intelligence” operation. Initially they said they wounded him.
United States of America: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was forced to shutdown their Washington DC office after getting a letter containing white powder. It also read “Die a painful death, Muslims!” Idahoan Bowe Bergahl broke his silence years after being released by Mujahideen in Afghanistan. He stated unequivocally that he left his U.S. Army post to protest “leadership failure” within the U.S. military! A former Oklahoma cop was found guilty on 18 counts of raping women. The wimp-ass officer began crying hysterically when the verdicts were read, he could face life in prison (then he’ll know what rape is). In Arkansas, police say a man showed up at Arkansas State University with a shotgun, gasoline and propane (LPG). He apparently warned of his planned attacked on facebook. In New Jersey, police locked down a transit bus after a “suspicious” package was found. Witnesses say police took a suitcase from the bus, no other info. In California, protesters are demanding the San Francisco police boss resign after a man was killed by fat-ass cops who shot him 26 times! In Missouri, the Sparta police boss resigned after shooting a caged dog! He admitted he killed the dog because he didn’t want to babysit it, and instead wanted to respond to a car crash! Also in Missouri, state police are investigating the mass purchase of cell phones, saying 150 cell phones were bought at three Walmarts by the same men using cash only. Also, and possibly connected to what happened in Arkansas, as many as three dozen propane tanks were stolen. It’s been revealed that propane tanks have been reported stolen starting at the beginning of November. In New York, the former Suffolk County police chief was arrested on charges of assaulting a detainee and then ordering his personnel to cover it up. In Boston Weak, Northeastern University Police Department will now issue M4 assault rifles to campus cops. The New England Police Benevolent Association now endorses Donald Trump for president because of Trump’s anti-Muslim comments. The Louisiana Attorney General has released damning evidence against two cops accused of killing an unarmed man and his six years old son: “The body camera video is approximately 13 minutes and 47 seconds long. At approximately 26 seconds into the video, the driver, Christopher Few’s empty hands are raised and visible when gunfire becomes audible…”-released documents
U.S. Boeing built KSA operated F-15 Strike Eagles
Yemen: Amnesty International accuses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) of intentionally bombing children: “In some of the attacks….the schools were struck more than once, suggesting the strikes were deliberately targeted.” Yemen news sources report multiple KSA airstrikes today. In Hamdan District, Saudis bombed a communications tower. In Dahmar Province, a Saudi plane bombed a house, then after paramedics arrived they bombed it again, four people killed, 12 wounded. In Taiz Province, Yemeni forces killed 11 U.S. Academi (Xe, Blackwater) mercenaries. In Sana’a City, a kamikaze bomber blew himself up, apparently he was the only victim.

Vladimir Putin told CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) members that a new military alliance is needed to counter the United States in Afghanistan, calling the U.S.-NATO “terrorists of a different type”: “‘Terrorists’ of different types are gaining more influence, and they do not hide their plans for further expansion. One of their aims is to break into the Central Asian region…. It is necessary to ensure the effective work of the CIS Anti-Terrorism Center, to continue coordinating the work of intelligence agencies and exchanging information. It is particularly important to closely monitor the situation near the external borders of the commonwealth.”
“We strongly condemn the criminal shelling against the Russian diplomatic mission in Damascus. Moscow expects a clear stance by members of the international community, including regional sides, regarding this criminal act.”-Russian Foreign Ministry
A day after insurgents begged Israel to impose a ‘no fly zone’ over Syria, Reuters claims Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised Russian President Vladimir Putin to “prevent misunderstandings between IDF [Israel Defense Force] units and Russian forces” in Syria.
This comes as Israeli news sources say Russia has begun UAV (drone) recon missions within Syria.
Israel’s SodaStream claims it will provide 1-thousand Syrian refugees with jobs.
Does the evil unconstitutional leadership of the United States know something? Why did John Kerry announce a phased increase of war refugees from the around the world (not just Syria) for the next two years?
Specifically in fiscal 2016 the number of war refugees that the U.S. ‘officially’ takes-in will go from 70-thousand per year to 85-thousand. But in fiscal 2017 it’ll jump to 100-thousand! Why? If the ‘advanced’ power players of the world are truly working to end the wars why is the U.S. expecting such a huge increase in refugees?
John Kerry’s statements about the phased increase of war refugees came a day after he told the world that “Assad must go” but also said there was no set deadline for getting rid of Assad.
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports that Syrian Arab Army Air Force ‘Hip’ helicopters continued their months long thermobaric barrel bombings across several governorates where U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents are concentrated. Hundreds of people killed from barrel bombs just today.
Aleppo Governorate: In Aleppo City, Syrian Arab Army says U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents launched artillery rocket attacks killing two civilians and wounding six. However, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights believes at least one of the rocket attacks came from the Syrian Arab Army and was targeting DAESH held territory, but resulted in four civilians being killed. United Kingdom news sources say the YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units) are planing to capture the DAESH held Syria-Turkey border crossing of Jarabulus. The Independent predicts this will royally piss off NATO member Turkey.
Damascus (Rif Dimashq) area: Police report a Jaish al-Islam insurgent artillery mortar round impacted near the al-Hal market in al-Zablatani, one person killed.
Daraa Governorate: The Syrian Arab Army reports multiple battles with insurgents including U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Jabhat al-Nusra (Nusra Front). Many homemade bombs had to be disarmed.
Deir Ezzor Governorate: Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports five civilians killed by airstrikes, and one 18 years old killed by DAESH sniper.
Hama Governorate: The Syrian Arab Army Air Force conducted airstrikes using thermobaric barrel bombs, while the Army conducted artillery strikes, across northern areas.
Hasakah Governorate: Reports that U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed insurgents blew up two car bombs at the entrance of Mishrafa Village, killing four civilians and wounding four others. Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports DAESH attacked YPG (Kurdish People’s Protection Units).
Homs Governorate: Syrian Arab Army battles with DAESH north of Shaer Mountain to the north west of Tadmur (Palmyra). Police report two insurgent artillery rocket rounds impacted on a bus station near a clinic, killing a child and wounding five people.

The U.S. FBI and Australian police thought they were about to bust a DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]) aka Islamic State recruiter, but the man they arrested turned out to be a U.S.-Israeli Jew!
The Jew, who has citizenship in both Israel and United States, was actively trolling to send idiots to their deaths in the name of Islam, he was going to have idiots blow themselves up in the United States and Australia!
Australian news sources said the Jew was teaching people how to make pressure cooker bombs and lacing the shrapnel with rat poison!
The news, so far, has been reported only in the Australian and Israeli news media.
“If Heaven and Earth by cycles within cycles regulated, what had happened will again occur? Is the Past-the Future?”-Lament and warning from Enki the last ‘god’ on Earth, Lost Book of Enki, 14th Tablet
“They’re not refugees. This is an invasion! They come here with cries of ‘Allahu Akbar.’ They want to take over!”-Bishop Laszlo Kiss-Rigo, Hungary
“What we are experiencing now is something that will occupy and change our country in coming years.”-Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany
“Everything which is now taking place before our eyes threatens to have explosive consequences for the whole of Europe. Europe’s response is madness! We must acknowledge that the European Union’s misguided immigration policy is responsible for this situation. Irresponsibility is the mark of every European politician who holds out the promise of a better life to immigrants and encourages them to leave everything behind and risk their lives in setting out for Europe. If Europe does not return to the path of common sense, it will find itself laid low in a battle for its fate.”-Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary
“Today everything is immigration. We live in sobering, shocking times.”-Donald Tusk, European Union president
In North America: “An application for Mr. Mohammed Kurdi and his family was received by the department but was returned as it was incomplete as it did not meet regulatory requirements for proof of refugee status recognition.”-Canadian Department of Citizenship and Immigration, regarding the drowned Syrian family
The Western Tradition: “….despite geographical dispersion, political fragmentation, endless bloody conflicts, the Hellenes shared a strong cultural unity, in language, in common myths, in similar customs….a common cultural personality…”-Eugen Weber, noted UCLA historian describing the driving force behind the rise of the Greek Empire
“Philip set out with his army to dominate or conquer most of the Greek cities and he succeeded brilliantly….because the Greek Polis were divided, even more divided than usual. The Persians [Iranians] had been working hard to keep them that way so that they would continue fighting each other instead of the Persian Empire.”-Eugen Weber, describing how the father of Alexander the Great was able to take over the Greek Empire
“It was an age that looked remarkably like our own time; we find the same reversion from representative institutions to authoritarian regimes, the same sense of psychological and ascetic fragmentation, the same anti-rationalist trends, the same self absorbed interest in the self, the same obsessive pursuit of affluence, exotic cults, peculiar fads, astrology, magic, eroticism, the same preoccupation with bigness, the same detachment from the hometown, with a concomitant but not very comforting feeling that the whole cosmos is your Polis [city, governing system], the same social conflicts and class wars and colonialism and wars of national liberation designed to expel foreign oppressors and to allow the locals to oppress each other, the same bureaucracy more interested in making and keeping rules rather than in making things more productive or more efficient, the same retreat from political involvement……
Although the Greeks and Macedonians intermarried with the local people, and a lot of the locals were Hellenized none of this integration went very deep….the differences were too great….there was no true cultural synthesis in the Hellenistic Age…..Syria…contemplating Macedonia, the two cultures remained mostly suspicious and contemptuous of one another even though they lived side by side.”-Eugen Weber, explaining what led to the centuries long decline of the Greeco-Roman Hellenistic system after the death of Alexander the Great
By the way for all those Europeans who think Europe is ‘Christian’ I must remind them that one of the immigrant groups, and the most successful at usurping the Roman Empire, were Christians from the Middle East.
Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion, not European! My Celtic ancestors were not Christians! The ‘Christmas Tree’ is not ‘Christian’, nor is Christmas, but a Christian usurpation of an ancient Germanic Winter Solstice (New Year) celebration.
The German song Oh Tannenbaum does not mean Christmas Tree, Tannen means Fir, Baum means tree thus Oh Firtree! The song actually praises the seaming immortality of evergreen trees, not somebody with the Semitic (non-European) name of Jesus!
Jesus was not born in December but during the summer months. The mandatory celebration of the Celtic Winter Solstice as ‘Christmas’ by Christians began 500 years after some guy in the Middle East name Jesus was supposedly born!
In other words; the original Roman Empire, and then shortly afterwards original Celtic Europe, had already been destroyed by immigrants from the Middle East (caused by warmongering Greco-Roman foreign policies) more than 1500 years ago. Now, another wave of immigrants (again caused by warmongering European, as well as United States, foreign polices) from the Middle East will radically change it again.
