  • A History of Britain – Celts and Romans (800 BC – 1 AD)

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 25th 2020 1:21am EST

    How did Britain and Ireland become Celtic? Was there ever a Celtic invasion and conquest of Britain and Ireland from continental Europe during the early Iron Age? If there was a Celtic migration, what kind of impact did it have on the preexisting Bronze Age population? Did a Celtic elite impose its culture on the […]

  • Ireland’s First Viking Age (800-875)

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 23rd 2020 6:16pm EST

    In this video, we recall how the Vikings arrived in Ireland: “In the year of 836, Thorgest, a notorious Viking pirate, boarded the stage of history. In Ireland, his name Thorgest was derived from the Gaelic. Thorgest led a large number of ships and landed in Ireland, they are even called the “Royal Fleet” in […]

  • Who Are The Celts?

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 22nd 2020 4:41pm EST

    If I understand this correctly … The original inhabitants of Britain who arrived after the last Ice Age around 8,000 BC and who existed through the Stone Age down until around 2,500 BC were an olive skinned, blue eyed Mediterranean race of people. They were basically like modern day Sardinians.Around 2,500 BC, the Bell Beaker […]

  • Leif Erikson Discovers America (999 AD)

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 20th 2020 11:14am EST

    We now know for certain that the Vikings reached North America in the Early Middle Ages and established at least one settlement in Newfoundland. Where was Vinland though which was said to have been a land of wheat and grapes that was heavily populated by skraelings? It wasn’t Helluland (Baffin Island) or Markland (Labrador). It […]

  • The British Bronze Age

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 19th 2020 8:25pm EST

    The mysterious ancestors of the Britons came after the people who built Stonehenge (95% of these Neolithic people were replaced by them), but long before the arrival of the Celts. They brought their metallurgy skills and horses from the Netherlands. This was the single most important migration event in British history, but until recently little […]

    If you ever travel to Scotland, you should check this out. The ancestors of the Caledonians built these buildings who only later in the Roman era became the Picts who in the wake of the Viking invasions lost their British culture and language and became the Scots. We still don’t know much about the Picts […]

    America belongs to whites Those who dream of our destruction love to say that we stole America from the Indians. Our history on this continent is no different from a thug mugging people in the streets according to them. We’ve done nothing but forcefully take what belonged to others for centuries. Thus we have no […]

  • 878: A Tour of Viking Age Britain

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 14th 2020 11:49pm EST

    Where did England and Scotland come from? The short answer is that these nations were forged out of the fire of the Viking invasions that engulfed Britain in the 9th and 10th centuries. By the time it was over, the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms had become England and what became Scotland was emerging from the wreckage […]

  • Alfred the Great, Guthrum and the Battle of Edington

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 13th 2020 10:34pm EST

    Skip ahead to 27:00 in the first video. Alfred the Great was a pious Christian king. It is worth noting what he did when he defeated Guthrum and the Great Heathen Army at the Battle of Edington in 878. He let Guthrum live because he served Jesus Christ. Contrast Alfred with Donald Trump who lured […]

  • Not Angles, But Angels: Gregory the Great and the Evangelization of the Anglo-Saxons

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 13th 2020 5:45pm EST

    Is Christianity for cucks? Does it require defeat in this world? Is Christianity inherently opposed to our racial and national identity? If we go all the way back to the beginning, we don’t find this perverse worldview in the Venerable Bede’s The Ecclesiastical History of England. Quite the opposite. Gutenberg: “Nor must we pass by […]

  • Charlemagne’s Saxon Wars

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 12th 2020 4:13pm EST

    Is Christianity for cucks? Does it require defeat in this world? It is worth remembering Charlemagne’s wars against Old Saxony. The Frisians and Saxons were conquered by the Franks and were forced to Christianity. Charlemagne had Irminsul cut down and committed a genocide against the Saxons. German military pressure on the Danevirke forced the conversion of […]

  • Genetics and the Anglo-Saxon Migrations

    Occidental Dissent - Jan 11th 2020 8:56pm EST

    This is fascinating. Who are the English, Scots and Welsh? Did the Anglo-Saxons wipe out the Romano-British population or intermarry with them? Did the Romans or the Vikings leave behind any genetic legacy in the English population? How related are the Scots-Irish to the English? Oxford University: “The genetic map of Britain shows that most […]

    How would the modern barbarian defeat the mainstream conservative? The scourging and decapitation of Edmund the Martyr would be unnecessary. All it would take is to call them a mean name to get them to surrender their country.

    I’m continuing to brush up on British history. In this podcast, we learn about how Roman civilization collapsed and vanished in Britain between 300 and 500 AD. A key cause were the civil wars in which British governors would march on Rome with all of their troops to challenge Roman emperors for control of the […]

    The Scots-Irish came to America via Ulster from the Borderlands between Scotland and England. Before there was a Scotland and England though, the Old North was inhabited by Celtic Britons during the Early Middle Ages. Gradually, the Old North was squeezed between these two expanding power centers and became a war zone for centuries. It […]

What were they up to before that in the Bronze Age […]

It is only due to an unprecedented loss of identity and historical memory in recent decades that such questions are even asked. From the Sack of Lindisfarne in 793 to Æthelstan’s reign as the first King of the English in 927, England (Angleland) […]
