Funny the things you find in a transport history book.
I wonder what happened in 1707 that so damaged Scotland's economy that it took a century and a half to recover..? 🤔

In 1066 the Normans crossed the Channel, won at Hastings, and rearranged the country.
The arrangement is still legible in the language nine and a half centuries later.
The Anglo-Saxon peasant kept the animals. He woke at dawn to feed them. He moved them between fields. He pulled the calves out in the spring rain. He cared for them through the winter, on grass that grew on land too steep for the plough.
The cow, he called a cū. He milked her, sheltered her, and walked her between fields. The Norman ate her and called it beef, from the French boeuf.
The pig, he called a picga. He fed it scraps and kept it alive through the autumn for the winter slaughter. The Norman ate it and called it pork, from porc.
The sheep, he called scēp. He sheared them, lambed them, and chased them off the high pasture before the snow came. The Norman ate them and called the meat mutton, from mouton.
The deer, he called dēor, and watched them move through the forest that had just been declared the king's personal property under the Forest Laws. The Norman hunted them and called the meat venison, from venaison.
The animal in the field kept its Saxon name. The meat on the silver platter took a French one. Walter Scott put it into the mouth of the swineherd Gurth in Ivanhoe: the pig is Saxon while it lives, and Norman when it becomes pork.
The peasant who raised the meat could be hanged for taking a portion of it.
The peasant ate bread, pottage, and cabbage. The peasant got shorter. The skeletons in the museums record it.
The lord ate the venison, the beef, the lamb. The lord remained tall. The portraits in the gallery record it.
Almost a thousand years on, the same arrangement is dressed in new clothes. The labourer is told that bread, cereal, lentils, and oat milk are healthy and morally appropriate. The labourer gets shorter, fatter, and sicker, and the doctor writes a prescription.
The wealthy still eat the venison, the beef, and the lamb. They quietly always have.
The language remembers what the dietary guidelines hope you'll forget.
This has relevance for those of us in the modelling world who remember when China gave us wonderful news high spec models at low prices. Price increases in our game only reflect the improved working conditions of those who make them 1/2
Some of us have been telling you the truth about Russia, from Russia, for literally years.
Thanks to @RealCandaceO for coming and simply telling you the truth also.
Big Pharma is manufacturing Alzheimer’s
Dr. Joel Wallach: “Alzheimer’s is a PHYSICIAN-CAUSED disease.”
Your brain is 75% myelin insulation. And myelin is 100% cholesterol.
Statins shred that cholesterol — stealing 75% of what your brain desperately needs to stay insulated and functional.
No myelin = no brain.
That’s why Alzheimer’s went from virtually unknown to the 4th leading killer over age 65.
They told you to lower your cholesterol…
while your brain was starving for it.
This isn’t “aging.”
This is medical malpractice on a massive scale.
Stop letting them dissolve your brain. Do your own research and stop the statins. Protect your myelin.
It’s June 1st, which means the western world is celebrating “pride” month. However, in Russia, June 1st is international children’s day. We protect our children from degeneracy. Rainbows shouldn’t have a hidden immoral agenda. Let kids be kids!
The pig is the most democratic animal that has ever lived.
Everything that follows is built on that. A pig needs no pasture, no hillside, no shepherd, no barn full of winter feed. It eats what you cannot. Acorns, windfall apples, kitchen scraps, the peelings and the whey and the spoiled milk headed for the midden. You feed it nothing and it gives you everything: a year of fat, lard, protein and crackling from an animal that turns household waste into the richest meat a poor family will ever taste.
One sow. A back garden. No land, no lord, no permission.
That is the problem with the pig. Not hygiene. Not parasites. Not the desert heat, though you will have been told all three by someone confident and wrong. The problem with the pig is that it made the poor man independent, and independence is the one thing the powerful have never been able to abide in people they mean to keep.
Walk it back. In Bronze Age Mesopotamia and Egypt, pork was everywhere, thriving in the muck and crowded backstreets of the cities, above all the meat of the urban poor. Protein from almost nothing. And, crucially, protein the tax collector could not see. A field of barley is visible. A herd of cattle is visible. A pig in the yard, fattening quietly on scraps, is wealth that appears in no ledger.
So the herders who chased status moved to cattle and sheep. Cattle you could drive, count, tax, lend and inherit. The pig was wealth you could hide, and a ruling class has never had any use for wealth it cannot count.
The taboo did not fall from the sky. It crept in. In the southern Levant, pork consumption had been eroding since around 3000 BC, long before a word was written against it. By the early Iron Age the pig was a flag: the Philistines, migrants from the Aegean, ate it; the Israelites, native to the hills, largely did not. You could tell whose a settlement was from the bones in the midden.
Then comes the part we can date. When the Biblical texts were codified, the priestly elite of Judah took a custom that already existed and carved it into law, hardening a soft regional habit into a line of identity you would die rather than cross.
And men did. By the time of the Maccabees, under Greek rule, it was no longer about cuisine. Hellenistic officials forced Judeans to eat pork precisely because they knew what refusing it now meant. To refuse was to declare who you were. Men chose death over a single mouthful. The animal had become a border drawn through the human body.
The Greeks ate pork happily. The Romans ate it by the wagonload. So refusing it became a way of being Not Them, and the taboo grew in power because it was useful: every time an empire pressed down, the pig was a way to stay yourself. Centuries later Islam inherited the line and hardened it again, and now some two billion people will not touch the most efficient protein a poor household can keep.
Notice what is absent from all of it. Nutrition. Health. The body. The pig was banned not for being dangerous to eat but for being dangerous to own: an animal that let the landless feed themselves without asking, invisible to the men with the ledgers.
Power has never minded what you put in your mouth, only what you can do without it.
The pig let people do without.
That was the sin. It always was. It quietly still is.
IN 1925, A RUSSIAN ENGINEER PLACED A COPPER RING AROUND A DYING PLANT.
THE TUMOR DISAPPEARED. EVERY OTHER PLANT IN THE EXPERIMENT DIED. HIS TECHNOLOGY WAS USED IN HOSPITALS ACROSS EUROPE UNTIL HE WAS KILLED IN NEW YORK IN 1942.
His name was Georges Lakhovsky.
He proposed a theory so dangerous that it had to be erased from medical history.
Every living cell is a miniature oscillator.
It vibrates at its own specific frequency.
When a cell is healthy, it vibrates at its natural resonant frequency. When it becomes diseased, the frequency drops.
Cancer, infection, degeneration — all of them are frequency disorders.
In 1925, Lakhovsky conducted an experiment at the Salpetriere Hospital in Paris.
He inoculated geranium plants with cancer-producing bacteria. All plants developed tumors. Around one single plant, he placed a simple open-ended copper ring — 30 centimeters in diameter. Nothing else.
No electricity.
No chemicals.
Within weeks, the plant with the copper ring shed its tumor completely and grew taller and stronger than it had ever been. Every other plant in the experiment died.
The copper ring was acting as an antenna.
It was capturing the full spectrum of cosmic frequencies and feeding them back to the plant's cells.
The cells re-tuned themselves to their natural oscillation.
The disease could not survive in a cell vibrating at its correct frequency.
Lakhovsky then built the Multi-Wave Oscillator.
It used two concentric antennas driven by a Tesla coil to generate a broad spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies simultaneously.
The idea was simple — flood the body with every possible frequency, and each cell will naturally resonate with the one it needs to heal.
By the 1930s, his machines were being used in hospitals across France, Italy, and Sweden.
Doctors reported recoveries from advanced cancers, severe arthritis, and chronic infections. Patients who had been given weeks to live walked out of clinics.
In 1941, Lakhovsky brought his technology to New York.
He began treating patients at a major hospital with extraordinary results.
In 1942, at the age of 72, Georges Lakhovsky was struck by a car in New York City and died shortly after.
Immediately following his death, every Multi-Wave Oscillator was removed from American hospitals.
His research was labeled quackery. His name was deleted from medical literature.
A man whose machines were healing patients in European hospitals for over a decade was hit by a car and erased from history within months.
The frequency of a healthy human cell is between 62 and 72 MHz. When it drops to 58 MHz, cold symptoms appear.
At 42 MHz, cancer begins.
At 25 MHz, death.
Your body is not a chemical machine.
It is an electrical instrument playing a frequency.
Disease is not an invasion.
It is a cell that forgot its song.
They did not silence Lakhovsky because his science was wrong. They silenced him because a copper ring costs nothing, and chemotherapy costs $150,000 & still kills.
The LARGEST human ivermectin cancer study EVER conducted found 84% of cancer patients declared COMPLETE REMISSION, TUMOR SHRINKAGE, or HALTED TUMOR GROWTH.
Our study is now PEER-REVIEWED and PUBLISHED by the International Institute of Anticancer Research.
The tide is turning.
@ricwe123 The fact that NATO police all wear the same black paramilitary uniform now betrays that the West is now universally Fascist. It is time the decent 85% of the world did something about them.
