“Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.”
Agent Smith in the Matrix: I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You’re a plague and we are the cure.
For the tribes moving Westward, Europe lies in their way…
#Europe has always known tribes on the move all the way back from before the Romans, before Christ. Because of its location, tiny Netherlands especially. They are situated in a Delta where three rivers converge, each making their way down the Alps mountains some 1000 miles away in what we call for the moment #@Switzerland. At the outer limits where the rivers enter the ocean, that’s where you’ll find the Netherlands or Holland as it’s known. The people living over there don’t think twice about living in the path of three rivers.
#@Netherlands is like Grand Central station. Everybody walks in and out. #@ Ghengis, the #Romans, the #Spanish, the #French/Napoleon, the #Nazis/Hitler.
No wonder #History was a total blur at school. Example:
The Low Countries controlled by Spain (Spanish Netherlands 1579–1713), Austria (Austrian Netherlands, (1713–94) and annexed by France (1794–1815). This region comprised most of modern Belgium (except for three Lower-Rhenish territories: the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, the Imperial Abbey of Stavelot-Malmedy and the County of Bouillon) and Luxembourg (including the homonymous present Belgian province), and in addition some parts of the Netherlands (namely the Duchy of Limburg now split in a Dutch and Belgian part) as well as, until 1678, most of the present Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in northern France. Unlike French Burgundy and the republican Northern Netherlands, these states kept access to the Burgundian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire until its end.
