I got this Headline and Photo from the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and following are some excerpts from their Post on Russian War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity in a letter they have sent to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau:

“The scenes emerging from Ukraine horrify the world. Ukrainian Armed Forces which are liberating cities, towns and villages that were occupied by the Russian Armed Forces have uncovered crime scenes that are so horrific that international media have found it necessary to screen photos and issue warnings to viewers.

Russian soldiers used the E40 highway as a shooting gallery to target civilians fleeing to the west. Their victims included a husband and a wife who were shot in the presence of their young child. On that same highway the bodies of four naked women were found, victims of rape. In retreat, the Russian Forces set fire to the bodies of their victims in an attempt to conceal their crimes.

In Bucha, near Kyiv, the Russian Armed Forces executed 300 civilians, including a 14 year old boy, and buried them in a mass grave. Dozens more civilians were found dead on the streets of Bucha – they had been shot, with their hands bound behind their backs.

Civilians in Mariupol, a city with a population of over 400,000, have been held hostage without humanitarian aid for weeks. Physicians in Zaporizhzhia reported evidence of rape among women recently evacuated from Mariupol, including girls as young as 10.

Thousands of Ukrainians were forcibly evacuated to Russia where they were put through filtration camps, and then the fortunate ones were exiled to the New Gulag.

The policy of restraint and obeisance to ‘red lines’ have further emboldened Russia. The international community is signalling to Russia that the world is prepared to stand by as Russia commits genocide. And should our policy continue to be guided by a desire not to “provoke” Russia – rather than a desire to help Ukraine win this war – the next days and weeks will bring more Buchas.

Canada and our allies cannot stand by and watch Russia commit crimes against humanity on a scale not seen in Europe since WWII. In over a month of war, Ukrainians have demonstrated courage, resilience and determination to fight. They need only the tools to defeat the Russian war machine. Canada and our allies have those tools, and yet we refuse to provide them to the Ukrainians.

We call upon Canada and its allies to provide Ukraine with fighter jets, anti-air systems and anti-missile systems to protect Ukrainian skies; to provide Ukraine with tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons to help Ukraine defeat the Russian army.”

THAT WAS MY POST ONE YEAR AGO !!!

The Office of the President of Ukraine reported, “On the anniversary of the liberation of Bucha (Kyiv region) from the Russian invaders, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy took part in commemorating the residents of the city killed during the Russian occupation.

The ceremony took place near the Church of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called and All Saints in Bucha.

Together with the Head of State, the memory of the dead was honored by: President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu, Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic Eduard Heger, Prime Minister of Slovenia Robert Golob, Prime Minister of Croatia Andrej Plenković, as well as Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk, Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak.

The attendees put icon lamps at the memorial cross at the burial site of Bucha civilians killed by the Russian invaders.

During the ceremony, the names of 77 identified persons who were buried in a mass grave near the church, as well as 11 servicemen killed in battles for Bucha, were announced.”

I got the above notice from the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and following are some more photos of Ruzzian War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity:

Bucha was only in the path of the Ruzzian attack on KYIV because the BeloRuzzians Allowed Putin’s Mudering Pigs to use their country as a base from which to attack from, so Lukashenko and the BeloRuzzian people are just as guilty of the war crimes perpetrated in Bucha as the Ruzzians are and they should be charged for war crimes as well. If kidnapped Ukrainian children are being transported into Ruzzia through BeloRuzzia, then Lukashenko should have an ICC warrant for his arrest just as Putin and his crony have. It is time for the BeloRussian people to stand up against Lukashenko and his KGB henchmen! BeloRussian history goes back as far and is hand in hand with Ukrainian history and it is not fitting for them to allow the Mongol Moscva Russians that came later to drag them into war crimes and genocide. STAND UP AND SUPPORT UKRAINE !!!

A year ago I wrote:

We Canadians must provide Ukraine with anti-aircraft systems, and anti-missile systems to protect Ukrainian skies and we must provide Ukraine with tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons to help Ukraine defeat the Russian army.

This just in today from the UCC, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress:

The Globe and Mail reported, “A major Ukrainian Canadian advocacy group said it’s surprised and concerned by how little the federal government allocated in the 2023 budget for new military aid to Ukraine, saying it hopes Ottawa has more spending in store than what was divulged.

Ihor Michalchyshyn, CEO and executive director of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC), said Ukraine needs more aid to prepare it for an upcoming spring offensive against Russia.

“Helping Ukraine win this war sooner rather than later is essential,” Mr. Michalchyshyn said.

He said the UCC, which advocates on behalf of Canadians of Ukrainian origin, was disappointed to see that the federal government allocated $200-million in the 2023 budget for Ukrainian military aid. The budget document said this money was for “donations of existing Canadian Armed Forces military equipment to Ukraine.” A significant portion of these funds reflect an already-announced decision to send eight of Canada’s Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

His group had asked Ottawa to make room in its budget to send more heavy weapons, tanks and air defence systems to Ukraine. It had also asked for support that enables the provision of fighter aircraft and naval defence systems.”

Really Canada? Only 8 Tanks! The Ruzzians are losing 8 Tanks a day to brave Ukrainian infantrymen. We can do better than this. I read that France was doubling its supply of 155mm shells to Ukraine to 2,000 shells per month. The article then stated that Ukraine is firing 7,000 shells per day and would like to match Ruzzia’s 20,000 shells per day. France – Is an increase to 2,000 shells per month even a realistic number? The Ukrainians are fighting a life and death war here! At least get it up to 7,000 shells per month!

We realise that there is still a Pandemic going on, and budgets are tight everywhere, but it was the Ruzzians that deemed it appropriate to attack Ukraine in the middle of the Pandemic (biological warfare Putin?). It was Putin who deemed it appropriate to attack Ukraine’s Crimea right after the Sochi Olympics! Nice work Bad Vlad! Your mother would be proud of your hair brained schemes and crimes against humanity. You make Boris Johnson look like a genius! And your Moscow Trump Tower partner Donald just got indicted as well. Perhaps you two can share a cell?

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT OF SILENCE AND THINK ABOUT THE MURDERED CIVILIANS OF BUCHA!

The VARANGIANS / UKRAINIANS or The Nine Books of Saxo’s Danish History Per Brian Howard Seibert

BOOK ONE:  The Saga of King Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’ Sigurdson

King Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’ Sigurdson’s third wife, Princess Aslaug, was a young survivor of the Saga of the Volsungs and was a daughter of King Sigurd ‘the Dragon-Slayer’ Fafnirsbane, so this is where Ragnar’s story begins in almost all the ancient tales (except Saxo’s).  In our series, we explore this tail end of the Volsungs Saga because King Sigurd appears to be the first ‘Dragon-Slayer’ and King Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’ would seem to be the second so, it is a good opportunity to postulate the origins of Fire Breathing Dragons and how they were slain.  King Ragnar would lose his Zealand Denmark to the Anglish Danes of Jutland, who spoke Anglish, as did the majority of Vikings who attacked England, which spoke both Anglish and Saxon languages, sometimes mistakenly called a common Anglo-Saxon language.  The Angles and Saxons of England never really did get along, as shall be demonstrated in the following books.  King Ragnar assuaged the loss of Zealand by taking York or Jorvik, the City of the Boar, in Angleland and Stavanger Fjord in Thule from which he established his Nor’Way trade route into Scythia.

BOOK TWO:  The Saga of Prince Erik ‘Bragi’ Ragnarson

Book Two of the Nine Book The Varangians / Ukrainians Series places The Saga of Prince Erik ‘Bragi’ Ragnarson from Book Five of The First Nine Books of the Danish History of Saxo Grammaticus (c. 1200 AD) about King Frodi ‘the Peaceful’ into its proper chronological location in history.  In 1984, when I first started work on the book, I placed Prince Erik’s birth at circa 800 CE, but it has since been revised to 810 CE to better reflect the timelines of the following books in the series.  Saxo had originally placed the saga at the time of Christ’s birth and later experts have placed the story at about 400 CE to correspond with the arrival of the Huns on the European scene but, when Attila was driven back to Asia, the Huns didn’t just disappear, they joined the Khazar Empire, just north of the Caspian Sea, and helped the Khazars control the western end of the famous Silk Road Trade Route.  Princes Erik and Roller, both sons of Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’, sail off to Zealand to avenge their father’s loss, but Erik falls in love with Princess Gunwar, the sister of the Anglish King Frodi of Jutland and, after his successful Battle Upon the Ice, wherein he destroys the House of Westmar, Erik marries Gunwar and both brothers become King Frodi’s foremost men instead, and the story moves on to the founding of Hraes’ and Gardar Ukraine.

BOOK THREE:  The Saga of Prince Helgi ‘Arrow Odd’ Erikson

Book Three, The Saga of Prince Helgi ‘Arrow Odd’ Erikson, recreates Arrow Odd’s Saga of circa 1200 AD to illustrate how Arrow Odd was Prince Helgi (Oleg in Slavic) Erikson of Kiev, by showing that their identical deaths from the bite of a snake was more than just coincidence. The book investigates the true death of Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’ by poisoned blood-snakes in York or Jorvik, the ‘City of the Boar’, and how his curse of ‘calling his young porkers to avenge the old boar’ sets up a death spiral between swine and snake that lasts for generations.  The book then illustrates the famous Battle of the Berserks on Samso, where Helgi ‘Arrow Odd’ and Hjalmar ‘the Brave’ slay the twelve berserk grandsons of King Frodi on the Danish Island of Samso, setting up a death struggle that takes the Great Pagan Army of the Danes from Denmark to ravage Norway and then England and on to Helluland in Saint Brendan’s Newfoundland.  A surprise cycle of vengeance manifests itself in the ‘death by snakebite’ of Helgi ‘Arrow Odd’.

BOOK FOUR:  The Saga of Prince Ivar ‘the Boneless’ Erikson

Book Four, The Saga of Prince Ivar ‘the Boneless’ Erikson, reveals how Ivar ‘the Boneless’ Ragnarson was actually Prince Eyfur or Ivar (Igor in Slavic) Erikson of Kiev and then King Harde Knute ‘the First’ of Denmark.  By comparing a twenty year lacuna in the reign of Prince Igor in The Hraes’ Primary Chronicle with a coinciding twenty year appearance of a King Harde Knute (Hard Knot) of Denmark in European Chronicles, Prince Igor’s punishment by sprung trees, which reportedly tore him apart, may have rather just left him a boneless and very angry young king.  Loyal Danes claimed, “It was a hard knot indeed that sprung those trees,” but his conquered English subjects, not being quite as polite, called him, Ivar ‘the Boneless’.  The book expands on the death curse of Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’ and the calling of ‘his young porkers to avenge the old boar’ when Ivar leaves his first son, King Gorm (Snake) ‘the Old’, to rule in Denmark and his last son, Prince Svein (Swine) ‘the Old’ to rule in Hraes’, further setting up the death spiral between the swine and snake of the ‘Lothbrok’ curse.

BOOK FIVE:  The Saga of Prince Svein ‘the Old’ Ivarson

Book Five, The Saga of Prince Svein ‘the Old’ Ivarson, demonstrates how Prince Sveinald (Sviatoslav in Slavic) ‘the Brave’ of Kiev was really Prince Svein ‘the Old’ Ivarson of Kiev, who later moved to Norway and fought to become King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ of Denmark and England.  But before being forced out of Russia, the Swine Prince sated his battle lust by crushing the Khazars and then attacking the great great grandfather of Vlad the Impaler in a bloody campaign into the ‘Heart of Darkness’ of Wallachia that seemed to herald the coming of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and included the famed 666 Salute of the Army of the Impalers.  The campaign was so mortifying that the fifteen thousand pounds of gold that the Emperor of Constantinople paid him to attack the Army of the Impalers seemed not nearly enough, so Prince Svein attacked the Eastern Roman Empire itself.  He came close to defeating the greatest empire in the world, but lost and was forced to leave Hraes’ to his three sons.  He returned to the Nor’Way and spent twelve years rebuilding Ragnar’s old trade route there.

BOOK SIX:  The Saga of Grand Prince Valdamar ‘the Great’ Sveinson

Book Six, The Saga of Grand Prince Valdamar ‘the Great’ Sveinson, establishes how Grand Prince Valdamar (Vladimir in Slavic) ‘the Great’ of Kiev, expanded the Hraes’ Empire and his own family Hamingja by marrying 700 wives that he pampered in estates in and around Kiev.  Unlike his father, Svein, he came to the aid of a Roman Emperor, leading six thousand picked Varangian cataphracts against Anatolian rebels, and was rewarded with the hand of Princess Anna Porphyrogennetos of Constantinople, a true Roman Princess born of the purple who could trace her bloodline back to Julius and Augustus Caesar.  She was called ‘Czarina’, and after her, all Hraes’ Grand Princes were called ‘Czars’ and their offspring were earnestly sought after, matrimonially, by European royalty.

BOOK SEVEN:  The Saga of King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ Ivarson

In The Saga of King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ Ivarson, Prince Svein anonymously takes the name of Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ in Norway and befriends the Jarls of Lade in Trondheim Fjord in Norway as he expands the Nor’Way trade route of his grandfather, Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’.  He had come close to defeating the Eastern Roman Empire, and still felt that he was due at least a shared throne in Constantinople.  He used the gold from the Nor’Way trade to rebuild his legions and his Hraes’ cataphracts and though his brother, King Gorm ‘the Old’, was dead, his son, Sweyn’s nephew, King Harald ‘Bluetooth’ Gormson had usurped the throne of Denmark and had hired the famed Jomsvikings to attack Prince Sweyn in Norway, setting up the famous Battle of Hjorungavagr in a fjord south of Lade.  King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ would emerge from that confrontation and then he would defeat King Olaf Tryggvason of Norway in the Battle of Svolder in 1000 AD, in an engagement precipitated over the hand of Queen Sigrid ‘the Haughty’ of Sweden.  Later he attacked England in revenge for the following St. Brice’s Day Massacre of Danes in 1002 AD and he fought a protracted war with the Saxon King Aethelred ‘the Unready’ that could only be described as the harvesting of the English for sale as slaves in Baghdad and Constantinople.  With the help of his son, Prince Valdamar of Kiev, and the legions and cataphracts of Hraes’, he conquered England on Christmas Day of 1013, but victory was not kind to him.

BOOK EIGHT:  The Saga of King Canute ‘the Great’ Sweynson

Prince Valdamar ‘the Great’ Sveinson of Kiev, who had supported his father, King Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ of Denmark in attacks upon England left his ‘Czar’ sons in charge of Hraes’ and took over as King Valdamar of England, but the Latin Christian English revolted against his eastern name and Orthodox Christian religion and brought King Aethelred back from exile in Normandy and Valdamar had to return to Hraes’ and gather up the legions he had already sent back after his father’s victory.  His half brother was ruling in Denmark and his sons were ruling in Hraes’ so, in 1015 AD Grand Prince Valdamar ‘the Great’ of Kiev was written out of Hraes’ history and in 1016 the Latin Christian Prince Canute ‘the Great’ returned to England to reclaim his throne.  He defeated Aethelred’s son, King Edmund ‘Ironside’ of England, at the Battle of Assandun to become King Canute ‘the Great’ of England and later King Knute ‘the Great’ of Denmark and Norway as well.  But that is just the start of his story and later Danish Christian Kings would call his saga, and the sagas of his forefathers, The Lying Sagas of Denmark, and would set out to destroy them, claiming that, “true Christians will never read these Sagas”.

BOOK NINE:  The Saga of King William ‘the Conqueror’ Robertson

The Third Danish Conquest of Angleland was seen to herald the end of the Great Viking Manifestation of the Middle Ages, but this, of course, was contested by the Vikings who were still in control of it all.  Danish Varangians still ruled in Kiev and Danes still ruled the Northern Empire of Canute ‘the Great’, for the Normans were but Danish Vikings that had taken up the French language, and even Greenland and the Newfoundland were under Danish control in a Hraes’ Empire that ran from the Silk Road of Cathay in the east to the Mayan Road of Yucatan in the west.  “We are all the children of Ragnar ‘Lothbrok’,” Queen Emma of Normandy often said.  Out of sheer spite the Saxons of England took over the Varangian Guard of Constantinople and would continue their fight against the Normans in Southern Italy as mercenaries of the Byzantine Roman Empire.  They would lose there as well, when in the Fourth Crusade of 1204, the Norman Danes would sack the City of Constantinople and hold it long enough to stop the Mongol hoards that would crush the City of Kiev.  It would be Emperor Baldwin ‘the First’ of Flanders and Constantinople who would defeat the Mongol Mongke Khan in Thrace.  But the Mongols would hold Hraes’ for three hundred years and this heralded the end of the Great Viking Manifestation.  The Silk Road was dead awaiting Marco Polo for its revival.  But the western Mayan Road would continue to operate for another hundred years until another unforeseen disaster struck.  Its repercussions would be witnessed by the Spanish conquerors who followed Christopher Columbus a hundred and fifty years later in the Valley of the Mound Builders.

Conclusion:

By recreating the lives of four generations of Hraes’ Ukrainian Princes and exhibiting how each generation, in succession, later ascended to their inherited thrones in Denmark, the author proves the parallels of the dual rules of Hraes’ Ukrainian Princes and Danish Kings to be cumulatively more than just coincidence.  And the author proves that the Danish Kings Harde Knute I, Gorm ‘the Old’ and Harald ‘Bluetooth’ Gormson/Sweyn ‘Forkbeard’ were not Stranger Kings, but were Danes of the Old Jelling Skioldung Fridlief/Frodi line of kings who only began their princely careers in Hraes’ and returned to their kingly duties in
