Further to my previous posts, including ‘Bran the Broken’.
At the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 70s, when I was a kid, I read the Sunday comics of Prince Valiant. In a comic strip that Harold Foster had originally written and illustrated from 1948 to 1951, the following appears:
The child that I was did not read English yet. But retranslated to English, the two pictures on the right say:
Arf: What use is strength to an invalid? To cut the meat with the sword [in the kitchen] and use the shield as a bowl?
Prince Valiant: The knight takes the cheers, but it is the wise one who, with his wit, directs the destiny of the nations! Forget your sword for the benefit of your books!
Arf had lost his left leg in the previous episodes, but in the strips of the following weeks he became a scholar.
Now that I was reviewing the Prince Valiant collection in my library, I saw other strips that would be unthinkable in the Game of Thrones film screenplays. For example, Val’s blonde wife once says in the volume bound under number VII (1959-1962): ‘When women mingle in the affairs of men these matters do not prosper. I know because I’ve tried it myself’.
Postscript:
Not even the pundits at Counter-Currents have understood the message of the Final Episode of Game of Thrones! They aren’t three-eyed ravens…

As to the title of the clip, a ‘Weirwood’ tree is in the godswood of Winterfell, home of Bran when he was a kid. Weirwood is a species of deciduous tree found all over Westeros; it has white bark with five-pointed, blood-red leaves and sap. The heart trees are weirwood trees with faces carved on their barks found in the center of godswoods.
It could be said that a weirwood tree was also the center of my home as a kid when I read Prince Valiant: a tree that gave the title to my Whispering Leaves.
I dont see a greater man or some great civilization which can destroy these christian churches. I think pitting christians and muslims is a good solution.
I dont see a great war in horizon, i love to see these filthy christians suffer, their hypocrisy and their pity for all untermenschen on this earth makes to despise them more.
Which is why you should stop complaining and start trolling these WN Xtians in their forums’ comment sections with links such as the ‘Judea vs. Rome’ essay.
The rest follows from there…
