Got the book soon after it came out. Beautiful, moving. Romanovs have been beatified in Russian Orthodox Church, I think. I may just learn Cyrillic one of these days, considering the Russian folks, people and material I'm currently watching, reading. First thing that affected me deeply was the 1971 film, Nicholas & Alexandra, which our parents took us to see. Watch for free: https://archive.org/details/1971-nicholas-and-alexandra
Later read Robert K Massie's book, too. This family & their tragedy have always been close to my heart. Happy to see them restored to dignified, respected status in Russia today.
Wondering if Russia is a good place for refugees from the absolute insanity and Rothschild/Rockefeller/WEF evil taking over the West.
Forgive this tangential note, also the reposting of it, just wanted to put it out there again where you might see it bc Steiner’s insights feel so important right now. Thank you Celia!
Steiner said, "The influence of illusion in the world makes it possible for us to become intelligent human beings." The capacity to discern truth from illusion is what differentiates human intelligence, human consciousness from artificial intelligence. This capacity relates to quality, not quantity. It's that which suggests to someone, "You know what, I'm going to skip all this eclipse nonsense, something feels off about it to me." To me, it also relates to the fact that we suffer and are moved by the suffering of others. We are merciful and are disinclined to behave violently towards others. AI doesn't suffer, it doesn't show or know of mercy. It doesn't actually experience anything.
Jon, this was wonderfully expressed. It helps, I think, when we compose and articulate these things. "AI doesn't suffer, it doesn't show to know of mercy."
It's the "code" of "woke." Merciless-ness encoded.
Bolsheviks, the scum of the Earth, murdered in a savage fashion a beautiful family of aristocracy without any valid reason. But so is the history of any dictatorial regimes. They could easily have been sentenced to house arrest. But the worst murderer ever was Genghis Khan, notably a moslem ruler who deserved death more than any other brutal DICKtator.
Father, I missed you all very sincerely today, but am not in New York. I left word with Dana, and misplaced your number, but will retrieve it. I have no words for this book's impact on me.
I will return it! And buy more copies and give as gifts.
After a nap yesterday, I decided on watching "Wild Things" from 1998 with Denise Richards, Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell and cast. Seems like I'm readier to see the psychopath drama and faux acting out of passion that was life in Hollywood at the time. The cult gentility of the Romanov ruling circles were apparently no match for these sorts of interests, either. Tolstoy or Dostoevsky might have alerted them, had they any interest in the literature.
"Forty years earlier Dostoevsky had predicted that socialism would cost Russia 100 million victims. At the time it seemed an improbable figure. Let me ask the British press to acquaint its readers with the impartial three-page report of the Russian statistician Professor Ivan Kurganov. It was published in the West twelve years ago, but, as is so often the case with matters of social significance, we only notice things that are not contradictory to our own feelings. From Professor Kurganov's analysis, we learn that if Dostoevsky erred, he erred on the side of understatement. From 1917 to 1959 socialism cost the Soviet Union 110 million lives!" ~ Alexander Solzhenitysn, Warning to the West, p. 129.
fyi: All books by Athony Sutton, all books by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the 'two' biggies were one, just regrouping in the middle, me thinks, but who knows really hey? as not all docs on all sides have been shown to the public, cheers!
What’s the TLDR on this Celia? I am assuming the consensus of the authors is that they were goodies? But I’m not sure how a Royal bloodlines family could have been?
They were of excellent character and Orthodox Christians—they were martyred. They were not murdered in the spirit of, say, the French Revolution. It was a decapitation of the Church.
Stunned as in one can be stunned by a symphony, or something emotionally overwhelming. Not as in "I had no idea…" because I did. The history is jaw dropping in its tragedy and pathos.
I would really like to see and hear that guitar. I play, but 45 years of playing has not helped me to be an accomplished player. Basically I just chord and that's about it. I've owned a few nice guitars, including a Guild, Martin, Gibson and a Tama which is a Martin offshore copy.
Thank you Tom. I will check that out, but now it's time for this old man to go to bed. Mine are accoustic/electrics. My first guitar was a Harmony electric, but that was the only electric that I ever owned. Good night.

ROC Easter is later than the RCC's: on May 5.

They are in my family tree.
I'm glad you enjoy it! There's plenty more where that came from. I hope to see you again soon! :)

fyi: The War That Had Many Fathers by Gerd Schultze-Rhonhof
His presentations are also interesting, also the little book: How Britain inititated both world wars by NK, saludos!
In "Tragedy And Hope," Carroll Quigley pretty much concurs on British responsibility for the First WW, at least.

Yes.
Thank you, Celia. I believe that my beloved wife will also definitely be interested in that.

Why are you stunned, Celia?
From the beach....

It is that.
I just pulled out American Betrayal. Time to revisit one of Diana’s West’s best.
YES. She is in a league of her own.
Tom, who made your guitar? Brazilian rosewood is used on the fingerboards of many expensive guitars.
I would really like to see and hear that guitar. I play, but 45 years of playing has not helped me to be an accomplished player. Basically I just chord and that's about it. I've owned a few nice guitars, including a Guild, Martin, Gibson and a Tama which is a Martin offshore copy.
