		The World Organisation -- in which would be vested the effective government of the world -- would not consist of dozens of nations, but of nine leading Powers, each one representing a continent and group of federated nations.
		Whereas the former attempts to unite the world, in a sort of universal Jewish centralised capitalism, within the framework of the League of Nations, and then of the United Nations Organisation, have failed because of conflicting ideologies, there will now be no such division.
		All purely continental administration-covering both legislative, political, and juridical tasks-will be vested in the ruling Councils of the particular continent.

	The Languages of the Q-Celtic Areas By Kelly Vincent
		All the other Celtic nations saw Latin as a significant language, though in Scotland the impact was relatively short-lived and minimal, as the Romans could not penetrate too deeply into the lands of the tribes that later merged to become the Picts.
		The six Celtic nations have one obvious linguistic trait in common: they each correspond to the primary homeland of one of the six modern Celtic languages.
		In most of the nations, other languages have historically been as important as the Celtic language, French or English.

	The Celtic Connection
		The Celtic Connection focuses on the similarities and differences in language across the Celtic nations and contributes to the resurgence of interest in the Celtic identity which is increasingly being supported by official bodies, both national and international.
		The Celtic nations of Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales, are well known for their literature, mythology, poetry and song.
		This volume is a study of the linguistic and literary achievements of those nations and provides a much-needed overview of the condition of all the Celtic languages.

	Research on Ancient Celts
		Celtic Heritage is not intended as a collection of the ancient myths and legends of Ireland and Wales, a simple glance at the cover copy and the introduction should make that clear, nor is it one of those currently faddish, cobbled together New Age warm fuzzy spirituality entertainments supposedly based on secret Celtic lore.
		Ellis deconstructs the ancient texts to disclose biases and self-contradictions, then adduces archaeological evidence that reveals a Celtic world quite different from what Rome would have us see.
		For a people that at one time dominated much of Europe, very little is known of the Celts and their religion, yet many flimsy theories and fanciful relationships have grown up over the years based on the scant evidence available.

	FatherOak's Druidism
		Celtic women did have much more freedom than that of the other nations of their time.
		It is generally believed that there were seven separate, but historically related Celtic nations, all of which were connected to one another by common culture.
		Many records of Celtic history and Mythology depict women as walking equally with their male counerparts in the Druidic society.We are not sure, however, as to the particular role which women played in the every day functions of a priestess.

	Law
		The law of intellectual property provides a means by which the most wealthy nation states and multinational corporations can colonize other nations, minority groups and individuals.
		Referring to international law, these corporations and nations have imposed onto others their political ideologies concerning the role of human genetics in society.
		Patent law presupposes the separation of: subject (inventor) and object (patentable subject matter); the new and unobvious and the old and obvious; and utility and non-utility.

		This is also true for tunes from other Celtic nations.
		We know of a Celtic language that has disappeared, i.e., Cumbrian (spoken in northwestern England and parts of Lowland Scotland), and in the 17th Century the Middle Breton written standard was abandoned in favor of Modern Breton transcribed according to French phonetics.
		The ancestral Celtic language, originally spoken across the European mainland and all the way to Asia Minor (Turkey), branched out by the fifth century A.D. to become the two main variants of today�s six modern Celtic languages, "Q-Celtic" (Goidelic or Gaelic) as spoken in Ireland, and "P-Celtic" (Brythonic) spoken primarily in Britain.

		The spirituality of the Celtic warrior, while it is intertwined with commitment to one¹s family, tribe, and nation, cannot be used to endorse modern day racism and white supremacy.

	proto_european
		The Aryan ancestors of the Celts are depicted by the colour blue in the map above, and contribute roughly 20% to the genetic makeup of Proto-Celtic nations.
		It’s important at this point to reflect on the way in which the terms "Celtic" and "Native" are interchangeably used in today’s society.
		Northern Scotland was the only part of Britain and Ireland to escape Celtic influence 2,000 years ago, and as a result Proto-European culture survived there in a homogenous state (in the form of Pictish culture), until the Gaels arrived there sometime before 300AD.

		Following the settlement and invasion of Europeans on the east coast, which also resulted in pressures from other Native nations, the Sauk moved from near Saginaw Bay in Michigan to Green Bay, Wisconsin, to Saukenuk located at the convergence of the Rock and Mississippi Rivers, and then forcibly removed to Iowa and Kansas.
