Douglas Jack has a lot of insight. I will read further, it's quite interesting what he is saying about the Axis Alliances. This adds new detail to my view of how Germany was essentially targeted from early on.
The etymological way he describes words is similar to how we have been doing it so far; you are right about taking our words back. I still think of "Religion" as Re-Legion after the Roman Legions. ;-)
As Language of different societies became infiltrated, words were repurposed for the infiltrators use. I think the etymology study should trace the original meanings of words back across multiple languages.
Another great guest and superb presentation – inspiring and thought provoking. I have also merely browsed and bookmarked his impressive and comprehensive website – watched a few of the links. Through his lifetime of research, sincerity and living experience, Douglas has provided a wonderful legacy. Well done DJ. Shared.
When I was at school studying Latin I was told that "religion" came from "religare" = "to bind", from "ligare", "to tie", as in the English word "ligature". Certainly, if you check on Google Translate, that is what you get.
Incidentally, one of the few words I remember from studying Greek at school (yes, I'm that old) is house(hold) is OIKIA, not oikos. A lot of Greek words DO end in "-os", but not this one.
"As I’ve said, the style of government matters far less than the size." Bingo!
Hi Tereza.
Sorry I can't keep up the pace lately, and your area of expertise is well outside my little rabbit-holes. But that sentence caught my attention.
I like your critical view of victor's justice. But I am going to have to read this again, and more slowly, before weighing in on zaibatsu. Japan has a history rich in corruption and exploitation of its own working class. Historian Stephen Vlastos captured a bit of the sociopathy of the 'respectably insane' of Tokugawa-era Japan, just before Victoria-era industrialization and the zaibatsu emerged. https://www.amazon.co.jp/Peasant-Protests-Uprisings-Tokugawa-Japan/dp/0520072030
Getting late here, and haven't had time to read other comments yet either. So, this crow had better come back to this limb of the tree after another read and some digestion.
You mentioned how we are lured / forced into wars. Remember ALL wars are Banksters wars no money no war, there are videos explaining this.
Below is a movement starting in England to circumvent money going to fund wars which is illegal to participate in them under many national and International laws. Below is just one of them.
To read all the laws and conditions, click on the link below some 4 pages, that most of the Western Governments are breaching them. This may be a way forward for the USA and Canada.
In 1970 the United Nations’ Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning
friendly relations and co-operation among States in accordance with the Charter of the
United Nations (UNGAR 2625) came into force. Included in its 42 principles are the following
solemn and binding agreements:
a threat or use of force constitutes a violation of international law and the Charter of
the United Nations and shall never be employed as a means of settling international
issues;
• A war of aggression constitutes a crime against peace, for which there is [individual and
joint] responsibility under international law;
• No State or group of States has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly, for any reason
whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State. Armed intervention and all
other forms of interference or attempted threats against the personality of the State or
against its political, economic and cultural elements are in violation of international law;

We the undersigned elected Councillors of the above named council DECLARE and SAY as follows:
Preamble
1. For decades we have obeyed the orders of Parliament, HM Government and HM Revenue and
Customs [HMRC] instructing us to demand and collect council tax, business rates, rents and
other payments from local residents and businesses, as well as PAYE and NI from staff salaries,
and to pay all of this money into Parliament’s Consolidated Fund.
2. Recently, it has been brought to our attention that the UK Government uses 10% of its tax
income every year to support, fund, supply or take part in illegal wars and warfare. Since 2001
Britain has used £1.2 trillion pounds of taxpayers’ money on military affairs preparing for or
taking part in, criminal wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, the Yemen, the Ukraine and
Palestine in which at least 1.4 million adults and 600,000 children have been murdered, many
more injured and at least 20 million refugees have been driven into exile and destitution.
3. After careful study of the international treaties and laws governing warfare, the use of force
and peaceful relations between States (paragraphs 4 – 8 below), as well as the domestic
criminal laws governing warfare and the use of force (paragraphs 9 – 16 below), it became
clear to us that the actions of demanding, collecting and paying money (taxes) to HMRC,
knowing or having reasonable cause to suspect that some of it will be used for purposes of
war, terrorism or genocide, are criminal and render all of us liable for prosecution and
punishment under the Terrorism Act 2000 and the International Criminal Court Act 2001 if
we continue to fund and/or authorise the funding of HM Government’s war crimes.
Declaration of Civil Obedience
4. We wish to make it clear that under no circumstances whatsoever will we continue to transfer
money or property to Parliament, HM Government, HMRC or any of their agents until we
receive incontrovertible documented proof that Britain’s involvement in the wars and killings
has ended and no residents money will be used for purposes that violate or transgress the
binding international treaties and laws governing warfare and relations between States
(identified in paragraphs 5 – 16 below) and that all of it will be used solely for legal, lawful and
legitimate purposes authorised annually by a majority of residents in this Borough/District

I had not heard of the WWII-era Axis alliances for peace either. That's quite a truth bomb! Does it remind anyone else of today's growing BRICS axis?

Gosh, you seem to work at lightning speed Tereza:-)
Fantastic. Thanks x
As usual, fascinating stuff. I'm reading through comments - always learn from your readers. Thank you Tereza.
