	Hello humans, hello humans, yet another one of these weird woo lectures.
	So what I want to talk about is the bronze age.
	So let's talk about bronze.
	Alright, so bronze is um an amalgam metal, it's an alloy, uh, it has copper, and then any number of other different metals uh for hardening.
	But copper is the main um component of bronze, and you get bronze with uh you know it needs tin, it can use a little tiny bit of zinc, uh, too much zinc and it becomes brittle, too little zinc and it flakes.
	Um there's there's any number of different kinds of metals that can end up in bronze, and in fact, uh, because you can uh uh determine where a bronze piece was made by the other elements in it,
	if you knew the time of its origin, you know, by the shape of it or something, um, then you could determine basically where it was made based on how much tin and so on, all right, up until we get into the bronze age.
	Now, the bronze age collapsed uh in 1177 BC, and but it had been uh functioning for several thousands of years.
	Uh so during those couple of thousands of years, and we don't know how many because it's not like anybody wrote down um and made a memorialized it, right?
	No one put a tablet down that said, we begin the bronze age today.
	We made our first batch of bronze ever.
	Alright, so um the reason to have bronze, by the way, is that copper is a great metal, but it's not a very good weapon metal, right?
	It's soft, it bends, yeah, even if it's very thick, it won't bend, and you can get it to take an edge, sort of, so it doesn't make really good swords or anything, it makes a heavy uh beating kind of an implement as a weapon.
	Uh, this was one of uh weapon technology drives most of human technology, simply because we've and I'll get into that another time.
	Alright, so it's not because of uh the nature of humans per se and the fact that we're aggressive or anything.
	That's not the issue.
	Um the the issue here is that um well I I won't go into that.
	We'll have to go into that some other time, because that's a whole nother deal.
	Anyway, so bronze is uh uh so people had uh you know shillys, right?
	Wooden basically a wooden striking implement, a wooden sword, if you will, and then somebody comes up with the sharp idea of um uh digging out all this cool copper, which is easily disally seen, and they they and it melts at a reasonably low temperature, so you could actually forge it and deal with it with just a uh charcoal uh brazier kind of a fire that you got hot enough by fanning it, and uh then you can smelt copper.
	Uh you add a few other metals and you get bronze.
	Now, probably the supposition is by the way, by academics, that the discovery was of bronze was an accident, that in some area, and they think maybe it was in this particular part of the Czech Republic, uh, there was sufficient other minerals in the other metals in the soil that when they got the copper, they uh sort of accidentally got enough uh to create a bronze.
	But here's the thing there was a lot of effort at the time uh in the early days of the bronze age to to purify copper to get rid of the extra stuff in it so that you would have pure copper, and so a wooden flakes, it wouldn't have all of these non um uh performing characteristics,
	which you achieve those by getting rid of the impurities, and then you have pure copper, it's uh it's what's known as ductible, you can change it, uh mallet, you know, beat it around with a mallet or whatever, and make make it assume some other shape.
	Anyway, so uh the idea was that in the early part of the bronze age, so you know, 4,000, 5,000 years back, um the effort was to purify copper, and then at some point there was a deliberate introduction into the purification process or into the to the copper smelting process after the purification, the introduction of other metals to form an alloy.
	So it's a diametrically opposed to what they'd been working on for theoretically number of years.
	And then now all of a sudden they're starting to add stuff in there.
	So maybe somebody told them how to do alloying of metals and explained to them that if you put in this much tin to that much copper, and if you got lead, it's even better if you had this little bit of lead and so on and so on.
	And boy, if you can get some bismuth in there, boy, you're doing really well.
	So somebody explains all this to them, and we start getting the proliferation of the bronze bronze age artifacts throughout the world.
	So this was um uh concurrent, all right, not a coincidence, uh, but it was concurrent in many theoretically separate cultures.
	You know, nobody ever accused the Mycians of being linked up with the Chinese, yet they both have the same quality and level of bronze implementation appearing at the same time in their social order.
	And so the the Bronze Age, uh the point of that is to state that there was some form of a system that existed among humans, an abstraction in the Bronze Age that appeared in the Bronze Age, and as far as we know, did not exist prior to that.
	And then the Bronze Age goes along happily for a couple of thousand years, and then it collapses very, very, very rapidly in a very mysterious fashion.
	That so far as I've ever been able to see, no one has pegged it to any uh realistic occurrence that all of the um books and discussions about the Bronze Age and its collapse, specifically its collapse, are speculation, just as I'm speculating, right?
	Because no one knows for sure.
	There's not enough evidence, a lot of the evidence that we would uh take as evidence was in the form of material that would not survive, and so what we have are materials that survive, uh you know, bronze implements, castings, molds, all these kinds of things.
	Uh but we don't have a lot of written material discussing how they came to have all of these and so on, or their formula and so on.
	Um, but we know that they existed and that it happened for a number of thousands of years, and then along comes 1177, and boom, it just falls apart.
	Now there are academics that will tell you that they can find okay.
	So, all right, let me back up.
	There's academics that say that the Bronze Age civilization collapsed because of disease.
	Uh, there are Bronze Age collapse uh scenarios uh because of uh politics and because of um uh invasion, which is a subset of politics uh of one human group to another group, right?
	Uh, but the Bronze Age collapses in this particular period of time relatively rapidly with no apparent in the history direct cause.
	Now, I'm of the opinion that the Bronze Age collapsed because it was um uh collapse of the civilization due to uh the money system breaking down, that they actually had money at that time, and I can um demonstrate the likelihood of that just based on the number of uh transoceanic uh sailing expeditions to retrieve minerals uh for the Bronze Age activity or
	to uh uh carry uh finished goods, and so um a characteristic of the Bronze Age was a lot of intercultural uh contact and activity, like tons of the stuff, right?
	Um so we have mines in all throughout Europe, we have mines uh throughout Russia, uh, we have mines into India, uh all for copper uh and the other um Elements, the other minerals, uh metals that are used in uh bronze.
	Uh Britain was a real key because Britain had tin mines.
	Tin is a relatively rare substance, especially in uh one of the the more common forms of it, okay, which is a relatively pure uh mineral substance the way it was laid down.
	So anyway, we get uh a lot of a lot of uh mining in Britain that um they didn't really use the the material there in what they were doing, so it was mined for export,
	and we know that there were actually uh port constructions, so they built uh breakwaters and um uh piers and this kind of thing, explicitly for loading ships in areas in Britain that were able to be reached through the estuaries of the rivers, so like the Thames, and they did this um four and five thousand years ago explicitly for trade, all right.
	So there was uh they were they had a very large fishing industry in the population um uh in England, right?
	In Great Britain, in Greater Britain, Scotland, Wales, all of that area, all the islands, right?
	They've had a large fishing industry there uh forever.
	But most of the fishing industry that they had did not in any way require uh the stable platforms um the quay, the key, the bulkhead, the breakwater, uh the pier, the dock, it didn't require, they didn't require any of this.
	They had uh fishing boats that would basically land on the gravel beaches, and um, and were quite happy to do some, and so they could offload and so on.
	They did not need to expend the energy to build a uh a bulkhead, uh a breakwater and a um uh a pier complex for fishing.
	There is absolutely no no driving component for it.
	But if you've got heavy metals and stuff, uh you're not lugging these over the irregular up and down the hills over the irregular uh terrain that they had and across these gravel beaches in order to try and get them into boats that you would then try and launch, right?
	So here's the thing.
	If you're a fishing boat, you go out empty and you come back full, and then you take all your fish out and your boat's empty again.
	But if you've got a boat that you're loading with heavy metal, you're not gonna be shoving it up off of the beach in order to get it launched.
	So, in order to load a transport boat, that boat has to be floating at the time you're putting the material in it and continue to float thereafter without you having to do anything to it because you're not going to be able to move the boat once you've got the load into it.
	And so we can make certain conclusions about uh when and why certain things were done.
	And we see that there was a building effort uh throughout uh the northern hemisphere, not just in German, uh not just in uh England, but also in Germany, um uh also in Holland, and these building efforts were explicitly for the uh loading and offloading of transport boats, right?
	Not raiding boats, not fishing boats, none of this.
	And so we know that the Bronze Age had a uh basically they were globalists, right?
	Not like our globalists, not like the mother wefers, uh, but the mother wefers originated out of this period of time because I'm of the opinion that the mother wefer's ancestors collapsed the Bronze Age with their money system at that time.
	So all of the uh pre-building of docks and all of these kind of things, that might take you a couple of years, and somebody's got to pay for that, right?
	You've got to have something to uh motivate humans to expend the physical energy to work all day carrying heavy rocks down and putting them in the water and all these terrible kinds of work, you know, that they're not gonna want to do unless you motivate them.
	And so you're gonna have to motivate them ahead of that trade existing, just like we build um a liquid natural uh gas plant ahead of the of the uh shipping of liquid natural gas um and the unshipping of it, right?
	So you need these facilities to exist before you do the activity, and that's what we see in the Bronze Age.
	And then it goes along, and there's one guy that has uh one academic that has a um, I think his name's Rogers, um, that has this theory that there was um an introduction, and he thinks it's um uh a particular kind of a of um uh very nasty uh venereal disease,
	really, um, and venereal and skin disease that he thinks that's what took down the Bronze Age, and his theory is that so many sailors basically got venereal disease that nobody was fit enough to work and the whole thing collapsed.
	But he's he's pegging this, and his theory is just so full of holes.
	Uh, but it's um he's pegging this across this period of 300 years.
	Now, we know from or it is it is uh concluded, so we don't know for sure, but we've got conclusions from some evidence that there was a 300 period 300-year period of uh shakiness in the Bronze Age before the collapse.
	So for the last 300 years, it was not as solid as for the couple of thousand years ahead of that.
	We see that there's evidence of you know, um, foundries being left um just people just walked away, and we're presuming because they could not get material in that area.
	And so we see foundries that uh, you know, a remnant foundries in um uh uh uh Europe that people just walked away and they literally left uh you know, when the fires died down, whatever was in the in the process of being melted and so on just stayed there.
	You know, and uh then it was covered up with mud, and we found in you know, archaeological expeditions, that kind of thing.
	So, anyway, so there was this period of time when things were not solid in the Bronze Age, but that it would recover, and then it would go along fine for you know 25-50 years, and then there'd be another hiccup, and so on.
	So it was not an instant process, the collapse, it was not unexpected, it took multiple generations uh to occur, and uh as I say, there's some suggestion that it took place over this 300-year period of time, and that these 300 years were otherwise not exceptional.
	So there was no climate issues, you know, there was no big weather storms that developed, the sun wasn't spewing out extra radiation, none of that.
	And so if we look and also that particular period of time relative to human history was not a period of time in which there was vast quantities of rampaging disease.
	In fact, it appears to be somewhat quiescent relative to diseases.
	There were no known um pandemics in the northern hemisphere.
	Yes, we had some around the equator, um, but uh and also in the uh in the Americas.
	Now, the Americas is a are another issue, as far as we can tell, the Americas, except briefly at the very tail end, the Americas were the American hemisphere was not involved in the Bronze Age.
	We don't see bronze tools developing in Mesoamericans, they don't trade for them.
	We do find cop copper implementation uh that we think is from the end of the Bronze Age, and to a certain extent, it would appear, and this is my conclusion, that the Bronze Age uh copper slash bronze artifacts we find in North America,
	uh because of the limited nature of where they were, the limited spread of them, that there were no large mines here, and as far as we can tell, no large smelting operations here in North America.
	It appears that that the Bronze Age technology may have been brought here by some kind of a um a remnant or a or uh outcast group or something from the Bronze Age civilization that came over to the Americas uh about 1200 um AD or or BC, 1200 BC.
	And so, you know, um uh basically, of course, modern-day um acad academicians, uh, which is another way of Saying uh really dumb fuckers uh that work at colleges, these guys say, no, the North American Indians were you know the Clovis people that came over by a land bridge, and no one ever said shit to them from any other part of the planet until modern times, which we know is horseship, right?
	The Vikings were trading with them, uh, there were regular um uh routes for the uh Norse peoples, you know, the Scandinavians of all all stripes to go over to North America in that period of time.
	And uh, and we see even habitation that they set up.
	So everything we've been told about the history of the Americas is is in our history books now is basically um uh bogus.
	I mean, it is non-factual, uh stitched together, uh, loose narrative attempting to blind you to the real historical uh nature of what we have here on this continent.
	So, anyway, though, so getting back to the Bronze Age.
	They, as I say, they found some remnants of Bronze Age activity here in North America, but it was from the very tail end of the Bronze Age.
	We know this because of the quality of the um alloys, and that uh we can track the evolution of alloys uh uh through the through time in the Bronze Age, and then they become uh, you know, after I think about um 900 years, uh the formula become very,
	very, very tight, and you can thereafter determine oh, this is you know, uh this was uh bronze that was cast in um Moldavia, uh that was big center of the of the bronze casting, or another area was uh Prussia, you know, southern Germany.
	They did a lot of stuff there.
	So um so you can tell, right?
	The formula became to the point where uh you see a bunch of clusters that have this percentage of tin and this part, this much lead, etc., then you know that they're either trading or they had the same formula and duplicated it.
	Umway, I'm of the opinion, it is my conclusion, not shared by the other guys on the Scheisbergs, uh that I'm aware of, but it's my conclusion that the um Bronze Age collapsed because the money system collapsed, and that the money system was not as robust as we have here today, and even now you must note that our money system is collapsing.
	And so uh thereafter, by the way, in the Bronze Age, uh bronze went uh after the collapse of the money system, we see the appearance of lots, lots of um metallic tinder discs, uh, you know, um currencies, right?
	Coins.
	Uh there were some bronze coins in use at the time, but when bronze was being uh used as the primary medal for uh, you know, industrial and you know, because there were bronze uh boat fittings, this kind of thing, uh, when it was being used for all of that, they didn't make a lot of coins out of it.
	Coins at that point had a tendency to be more silver, and some pure copper ones.
	Uh, but again, they had a tendency to be uh shade towards silver and then occasionally gold.
	Um in some areas, some areas had far more gold than silver.
	Anyway, um I'm of the opinion that there was a monetary system uh from the research we're doing on Der Sheisberg, um, that existed at the time of the Bronze Age, and that its collapse uh precipitated the collapse of the Bronze Age itself, uh, by destroying the uh intercontinental trade and the intermine trade.
	So we know there were caravans that took, because they're actually referenced in uh Codex Oralinda, uh, this uh just incredible book of the um uh history of the uh white people in um Europe uh from biblical times up through about 800 AD.
	Um anyway, so uh we know that throughout or or there are these references uh throughout those books and stuff that we have to a particular kind of uh civilization that is denied by our current um academicians,
	our current academy of arts and sciences are uh really ignorant, they they're a consensus-driven thing, the consensus is controlled by the stupidest people in the room uh that are willing to limit the most amount of of um information coming in, and uh they do so with all kinds of criteria that in my opinion are not valid.
	Uh so even if their method could be described as being valid, which is to say, let's have an academy of arts and sciences that has as little speculation as possible in it and as much fact in it as possible, even then they are denying so many facts as facts that one must question their um their honesty, truly.
	Okay, so a lot of these guys I'm quite certain are in the involved in the giant historical cover-up.
	Um anyway, so the Bronze Age collapsed regardless of the cause, right?
	And so you're gonna find people that will swear it was disease, you're gonna find people that are they're gonna say it was, you know, uh space aliens or giant meteor or who the fuck knows what.
	But um I'm of the opinion that it was a Khazarians and that they were operating a money system, and that their money system was used uh as the actual float.
	So we have so many terms in our financial system that relate to uh sailing ships as uh methods of trade, right?
	So you and they just swap the terms over into the money, and so uh even in modern times in the in the maritime industry, the word float applies both to the boat and to the financial system that allows that boat to operate.
	And so there's boats that have floating loans, and it's not a loan to make the boat float, it's a loan to float the goods onto the boat.
	And so there's there's so much in the way of linguistics that go back through all of the languages that relate to the Bronze Age that uh have words that indicate a money system, in my opinion, was in operation,
	and when that money system collapsed, nobody could get financing to mount the expeditions to like sail from uh Italy up to um England and get tin and other materials for your bronze.
	And so because they couldn't get the financing, they didn't go get it, the amount of bronze dried up, and those people that were involved in the bronze technology business uh had no work and they dispersed and so on, and our bronze civilization disappeared, and the bronze age collapsed.
	Now, I don't see any evidence that there were great invasions uh from the because there's this one guy, he's uh he's um uh Khazarian Jew, uh Ashkenazi, he's really hell-bent on uh uh Zionists,
	and he says that it was the Russians, the the fierce Rus people that sailed their Viking boats down the Russian rivers into um uh the North Sea and stuff and attacked uh England and Germany and stuff that caused the Bronze Age to collapse.
	And there's there's just no evidence for it.
	That appears to be a fairly popular opinion.
	I mean, academics rarely talk to me, and I don't seek them out, so I'm not really sure uh who thinks what or you know what is the um uh the consensus about the collapse of the Bronze Age at this point among the academics, but this guy appears to have a um uh fair following on this idea, and it and some people are not thinking, they're very lazy, you know, they're academics, right?
	They're paid to sit on their ass and read and occasionally throw some words at a student, um if they're not molesting them, you know.
	So I don't I don't really have a much of a um uh respect for for the academy and the people involved.
	But and a lot of these people don't think, and so they just accept, and so they're accepting of the idea that the Russians invaded uh Germany um in mass uh in the in 1100 and seven uh 1177 a uh BC and cause the collapse of the Bronze Age, even down into Italy and stuff.
	And and I'm saying that no, you know, their logic just does not wash that that there was a this was not an isolated incident.
	Uh so this guy's contention is that the um the Rus people invading uh Germany uh and England even by way of raids, uh cause this to happen.
	But there's no reason at all that that kind of an incident should in any way affect the thousands of bronze smelters that were in um northern Italy, Spain, um Austria, Czech Republic, you know, Slovakia, uh Macedonia, all throughout this area, there were people smelting bronze for all they were worth.
	It was a it was a major growth industry, it was the tech industry at the time, and the tech industry collapsed fast, and when it collapsed, it collapsed all over fast.
	So if the Russians had invaded and destroyed the bronze industry in Germany, we would expect that the bronze smelters throughout southern Europe would just be happily smelting bronze and keeping on and and you know keep on keeping on, and they didn't.
	It's just like everybody stopped all at the same time, and so it's my supposition that it was a money issue and that the money system collapsed, they weren't able to um get the money to float the metals back and forth in order to have it via profitable uh trading expedition,
	and so people didn't, they just didn't go and get the minerals, and they didn't do the bronze, and it just stopped pretty much within the same 30-year period all over the planet, and it wasn't a lack of copper, we didn't run out of copper, it was no climate change, uh no global warming, uh, you know, none of this shit, right?
	And but it had the same effect as what we're seeing now with the shutdown of all of the businesses and all of this kind of stuff.
	So, in my opinion, now, and the point of all of this discussion about the Bronze Age is that the mother wefers are trying to collapse our current civilization, and so this is the end of the civilization as we knew it, right?
	Um, there are a lot of people like myself, uh, a lot of young people, even that have this same idea that oh hey, you know, our current bronze age,
	our current tech age is in the midst of some kind of uh uh wonkiness and may indeed collapse, but there's nothing to stop me from creating something new that will persist after the tech age crashes, the tech age as we know it now crashes, and it's gonna be crashing due to the same kinds of problems, which is the um uh the financial uh now we have other issues, right?
	Because our our uh system at the moment is so wonky that it's it's paying people to dig up 500,000 pounds of of dirt in order to create, and that's just for and dig up 500,000 pounds of of dirt in order to get the lithium to make a single electric car battery, right?
	And they they don't dig up as much dirt to create all of the metal in a car, all of the steel.
	They don't dig up 500,000 pounds of dirt to create all the steel in your car, uh and it's just so um disproportionate that we need to collapse that this shit does not continue.
	And you've got all these climate fuckers out there absolutely convinced that it's the best thing for the planet for them to go on and sit on a giant battery, put their nads in a um uh on top of a giant battery that's gonna have fluctuating uh electromagnetic fields around it continuously,
	and somehow that that's gonna save the planet, even though they've got to dig up half a million pounds of dirt just to create that battery, and when that battery is used up, now by it, it takes 800 barrels of oil to create that battery in terms of of how many uh diesel engines have to burn oil to dig all the dirt and that kind of shit, right?
	Those 800 barrels of oil create a battery that will hold the energy equivalent of less than one 40-gallon barrel of oil.
	So we lose 799 uh barrels of oil just making that battery, okay?
	Uh and that battery will never ever ever last for 800 complete cycles.
	So you're never going to recover the amount of energy just used in the lithium in that battery.
	So it's a net loss from the get-go.
	All electric cars that are powered by batteries are a net loss and damage the environment.
	Absolutely no question.
	The other thing they do is that once that battery is used up and can't take a charge anymore, and with lithium, that comes to a particular point and then it dies real quick because of the nature of the small uh 3.2 uh watt cells that are in the because your your car battery is thousands of these little tiny uh lithium batteries basically.
	But once that's done, uh you can't dispose of that battery.
	There's you can just let it sit out and be a horrific uh environmental pollution problem because we don't have any way to recycle them, they're too expensive to get the batteries out of the vehicles.
	You basically have to disassemble the car to get the battery out, yada yada yada yada.
	It is a net damaging effect on our global environment, and there's just simply no way around it.
	Electric cars uh powered by batteries are a really fucking bad idea, and and they show up at the same part in our civilization that some really bad ideas in bronze showed up in the bronze civilization,
	where they were casting these giant, giant, giant uh bronze statues and this kind of thing, where bronze had moved away from a utility metal and was being overtaken as a they say religious, but let's just say a state-controlled um operation.
	And so I I've gotta shut down here and get some stuff done.
	But so it's my supposition also that at the time we see the casting of the giant bronze statues, um, that we'd shifted off of bronze weapons and bronze uh uh coutrement, like you know, um uh shackles and blocks and all this kind of thing, wheels for sailing, and we get into the casting of these giant ornate uh bronze statuary.
	I think that was done to prop up the bronze age uh financially at the end of that bronze age, and that um uh that that was again a contributing factor to the collapse that was, in my opinion, uh caused by a financial hiccup in their system uh that kept reoccurring over those 300 years.
	Anyway, guys, so uh that's our woo lecture today.
	And um, yeah, we're there now.
	So this is a collapse of the civilization as we knew it, and now we've got to decide what is gonna be the look of the next civilization that we build.
