Native Welsh Lives Matter! Even though I am white, I have experienced racism and discrimination from the English all my life. Wales is England's last remaining colony. All other colonies have been granted their independence years ago. Unfortunately, we haven't. 1, 000 years since the invasion. That's a whole lot of years of oppression, murder and the attempted genocide of our language and culture. But we're still here, just. We urge all ex-colonials, to help us drive the English out. Sadly, the quaint old castles you see in Wales were English military bases from which troops would ride out and massacre the native Welsh. They were places where our ancestors were tortured, too.

The Norman's are ruling most of the world now. If you follow them through history you will follow a trail of power and money. A few clues; Rollo and his ancestors. The knights Templars and international banking. The Free Mason's that evolved out of the Templars and their links to banking, in particular Switzerland, The City and Washington DC.

Almost noone knows that The Norman Kingdom of Sicily was the most powerful and the richest and the most prosperous Kingdom of its time. Much more powerful than Norman England. And we still have some Norman words in our Sicilian language. And approximately 30% of Sicilians have light hair and green or blue eyes

the norman never came to normandy that way, rollo tried to raid paris and failled but charles the simple the french king had enought of those incursion so he made a offer to rollo have normandy as your land and become my vassal and protect the kingdom from future vikings raid and its what he did

The Normans definitely didnt invade England with just 7000 troops. It was more likely 30, 000 at a minimum. Not sure where the creator of this video gilet the 6, 000 number from

Just curious did the vikings discriminate against the vikings who converted to Christianity and sided with france. Did they ever fight vikings vs norsemen?
reply

Fun fact: 1066, the norman army was not simply composed of normans, but of people from several regions of france, britanny, and flanders

Very interesting!
When we choose to think that we came exclusively from this, or that people. We should think again!
