It is plain to see. Nobody knows WTF OUR HISTORY IS.

A book like this is a spot light of ignorance on corporate controlled ‘science’ and paid-off academic simps.

Nobody can tell you what happened to the Aztecs, Incas, Tultecs, Olmecs, Mayan EMPIRES.

Nobody can tell you what happened to the Ark of the Covenant.

Nobody can tell you what happened during “The Dark Ages“.

Yet, we go to great lengths to glorify fictional history and cultures.

The HISTORY of great antiquity is a FAKE ORIGIN STORY.

We have no idea WHO built Balbec, Puma Punku, Tiwanaku, Azuma, Giza, Petra, etc.

Science fiction about a freight pilot that must make his way to Earth with valuable cargo onboard. Folks, I’ve lived this life. This isn’t science or fiction. This book is terrible.

The Icarus Hunt. This humdrum book had me turning pages on the regular, like a dope fiend back on a stash. Slowly, methodologically, burning my way through the brain-dead science fiction text, attempting to look away from our government controlled corporation.

Pedestrian “science fiction” for fallen people. Have you noticed, in your life time, there has been zero scientific triumphs. Instead, our “science gods” have regressed into screens.

Screen in your face, screen in your car, screen on your refrigerator. You are dead.

We die at the hands of their pharmakia “corporate science“. Our food is fake. YOUR SCIENCE GOD IS DEATH.

Three cheers for C.S. Lewis and the prophecy of That Hideous Strength, the final book in The Cosmic Trilogy.

C.S. Lewis is here with us now. Let’s witness THE END in real time. Strange energies from space (The Awakening), mystery vaccines by immutable corporations, genetic manipulation inside chimera MRNA ‘technology’.

This is the way the prophecy is playing out. And I’ll be damned if C.S. Lewis didn’t nail WHO and ALL beast system governments (vaccine 666 passport) now being issued by our CORPORATE HEALTH AUTHORITIES.

A Tour On The Prairies by Washington Irving Book Review

I’ll meet you at Fort Gibson in Oklahoma on October 28, 1832. We’ll hire a couple of indians and a creole. Their orders are to help provision our larder during a 30 day march into the Autumnal Pawnee hunting grounds.

We meet the captain two days march west, he’s traveling with approximately one hundred rangers. Each trooper is matched with a backup horse and pack horse. The single file line of horses and men like a termite mound on the move. Over the prairies and through the woods to hunt game and spread the news about the Great Father in Washington.

Excellent old time journal of adventure, horseback riding, bivouacking, camping, wild horse hunting, buffalo hunting, deer hunting, elk hunting, bear hunting, and turkey hunting.

A few things to note:

This journal contains no mention of whiskey or any liquors among the rangers during their march.

How on God’s good earth do you axe down a green tree and burn it in your fires that very same evening? Would it not just smolder and smoke like fresh chopped wood always does?

It really is a very romantic book, without one mention of a female in the entire text. Excluding the Negress that feeds the officers on their famished return to civilization.

It’s a bunch of young men with rifles, salted pork, coffee, and gun powder. They ride ten to fifteen miles on horseback a day. They camp in the alluvial bottoms of streams and creeks.

They parley with Indians and meet with buffalo herds through the Cross Timbers.

The campsites are described in fascinating detail, the men lounging round countless fires, roasting spits, and coffee pots.

If any of this is real, it must be some kind of alternate universe.

Galloping after wild stallions on wide open plains, bee hunting for liquid gold, buffalo hunting with a brace of brass locked pistols.

These people live without Google/Apple watching their every BLE signal.
They live without sticker policy on horseshoe registration.
Proof of financial responsibility equals zero.
There’s nobody on the prairie, except you, your horse, your backup horse, your saddle, your rifle, your powder, and hunting knife. And ninety-nine other men who would gladly rush into any skirmish to save your ass.

Truly an adventure.

I grew up not far from their march, I know the alluvial beds, I’ve seen the Cross Timbers. All residential/commercial zoning without benefit of mineral rights.

Highlight: Such is the glorious independence of man in a savage state. This youth, with his rifle, his blanket, and his horse, was ready at a moment’s warning to rove the world; he carried all his worldly effects with him, and in the absence of artificial wants, possessed the great secret of personal freedom. We of society are slaves, not so much to others as to ourselves; our superfluities are the chains that bind us, impeding every movement of our bodies and thwarting every impulse of our souls.

Such, at present, was the case with the Pawnees, who rove the regions between the Arkansas and the Red River, and the prairies of Texas.

A morning’s ride of several hours diversified by hunting incidents; an encampment in the afternoon under some noble grove on the borders of a stream; an evening banquet of venison, fresh killed, roasted, or broiled on the coals; turkeys just from the thickets and wild honey from the trees; and all relished with an appetite unknown to the gourmets of the cities.

Pistols are very effective in buffalo hunting, as the hunter can ride up close to the animal, and fire at it while at full speed; whereas the long heavy rifles used on the frontier, cannot be easily managed, nor discharged with accurate aim from horseback.

It was roasted in a frying-pan. without much care, pounded in a leathern bag, with a round stone, and boiled in our prime and almost only kitchen utensil, the camp kettle, in “branch” or brook water; which, on the prairies, is deeply colored by the soil, of which it always holds abundant particles in a state of solution and suspension.
