   I am going to engage in a little White Shaming this morning. I think it is merited.
   
   How many of you are genuinely able to name more than one piece of classical music that isn't hammered to death by Hollywood? How many of you can name a composer other than Mozart or Beethoven, AND THEN, name a piece of music associated with that composer? How many of you have read Kipling, or Robert Service, or Thomas Mallory? Can you name the Greek, Roman, or Norse gods, beyond the ones mocked by the jews at Marvel Comics? In what year did the German people slaughter three whole Roman legions in the Teutoburg Forest?
   
   Far too many of you can name and sing along to every nigger rap song out there, and know every Jap anime that has ever existed (except Appleseed; nobody seems to know Appleseed), and have seen every jew-made Hollywood blockbuster out there.
   
   But almost none of you know Allegri.
   
   I put a geas upon you. But you probably don't know what a geas is, do you.
   
   geas (plural geasa or geases)
   
   pron. "Ges".
   
   (originally in ancient Irish religion and mythology) A vow, obligation or injunction placed upon someone to do something, which typically brings harm if violated and blessings if obeyed.
   
   Do one thing today, to enrich your understanding of White Culture and improve your knowledge of your own people.

     @Largo @BattleDwarfGimli For 'visual learners', a good way to start is with Greg Aldrete's lecture series 'The Rise of Rome'. He's an engaging speaker that has clearly studies Roman oratory techniques himself, and he extensively covers the development, decline and fall of the Roman Republic in a masterful and layman-accessible way. You can find the episodes free online or at your local library, each one is around half an hour long

     @BattleDwarfGimli Homework Task:
     Read about Sulla, Crassus, Pompey, and Caesar.
     
     This should cover The Social War, The Spartacus Uprising, Sulla & Marius' Civil War, Caesar's Conquest of Gaul, Crassus' Parthian War, and eventually Caesar crossing the Rubicon.
     
     Many lessons to be learned from reading about the last 40 years of the Roman Republic.
