Charlemagne, a ruler of many, a dynasty of one.

[praetorian]

A bright light in a Dark Age, Defender of the Faith, and King of the West.

[Libertarian_Guard]

CHARLES
War is a science
With rules to be applied
Which good soldiers appreciate
Recall and recapitulate
Before they go to decimate
The other side

(spoken) Now, gentlemen, this is the plan for tomorrow's skirmish

The army of the enemy is stationed on the hill
So we've got to bring them down here, and this is
How we will
Our men in the ravine (That's this area in green)
Will move across the valley where they plainly
Can be seen
And the enemy (in blue) will undoubtedly pursue
For that's what you depend upon an enemy to do

Then to guarantee their folly
We'll bring bowmen into play
Who will fire just one volley
And retire to point "A"
And then, and then
And gentlemen, and then....

PIPPIN
And then the men go marching out into the fray
Conquering the enemy and carrying the day
Hark! The blood is pounding in our ears
Jubilations! We can hear a grateful nation's
Cheers!

CHARLES
Pippin, sit down immediately!

Now, where was I? Ah, yes....

War is a science
A breeding ground for brains
For though I cannot write my name
The men whose pens have brought them fame
Write endless paragraphs explaining
My campaigns

Now when the foe see our soldiers marching
Through the lea
They will mount a charge and meet us at the point
I've labeled "B"
And their bowmen on the hill (In yellow on the map)
Will leave their posts to join the rest and fall
Into our trap
Then we'll cut off reinforcements and retreat of
Any kind
Bearing principles of enfilade and defilade in mind.

And if all the ploys we pick to really
Work to bring to pass occur
We won't just have a victory
We'll have ourselves a massacre

And then, and then
And gentlemen, and then....

PIPPIN
And then the men go marching out into the fray
Conquering the enemy and carrying the day
Hark! The blood is pounding in our ears
Jubilations! We can hear a grateful nation's....

CHARLES
Pippin....!

In conclusion gentlemen....

Now listen to me closely I'll endeavor to explain
What separates a charlatan from a Charlemagne
A rule confessed by generals illustrious and various
Though pompous as a Pompey or daring as a Darius
A simple rule that every good man knows by heart
It's smarter to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart

And if the fates feel frivolous
And all our plans they smother
Well suppose this war does shrivel us
There'll always be another!

And then....

ALL
And then....

CHARLES
And gentlemen, and then....
(Spoken) Now... gentlemen... now!

SOLDIERS
And then the men go marching out into the fray
Conquering the enemy and carrying the day
Hark! The blood is pounding in our ears
Jubilations!
We can hear a grateful nation's cheers!

PIPPIN
Patching the roof and pitching the hay
Is not my idea of a perfect day
When you're extraordinary
You gotta do extraordinary things

I'm not the type who loses sleep
Over the size of the compost heap
When you're extraordinary
You think about extraordinary things

That's the reason I'll never be
The kind of man who dwells
On how moths got into the tapestry
Or why the dungeon smells

Oh, it's hard to feel special, it's hard to feel big
Feeding the turtle and walking the pig
It's so secondary
To someone who is very
Extraordinary like me

If the moat won't stop leaking
And the goat won't stop shrieking
And the griffin keeps losing its hair
If the west wing is rotting
And our best wine is clotting
Well, I'm terribly sorry but I don't care

I've got to be someone who lives
All of his life in superlatives
When you're extraordinary
You gotta do extraordinary things

Every so often a man has a day
He truly can call his
Well, here I am to seize my day
If someone would just tell me when the hell it is

Oh give me my chance, and give me my wings
And don't make me think about everyday things
They're unnecessary
To someone who is very
Extraordinary
Like me!

IF the entire CATHOLIC church died in America, it would be a great day indeed. America was built on Christian beliefs and ideas, NOT catholic ones. You couldn't even BE a Catholic in congress untill the 1800's. when the stinking Jesuits influenced the lawmakers to allow Catholics.

Jews and Muslims have always been allied in destroying European Man,

Charles The Great stopped both of you, Jews and Muslims.

He is not a little man, just overly passionate about certain subjects. And he knows little in the ways of discretion.

[D sciple]

It is my view that the celto anglo saxons composed the 12 (13 including levites) tribes of Israel. The Germans descend from ancient Assyria.

After the Kingdom divided into two, House of Judah (Celtic) composed two of the tribes and carried the throne of David.

House of Israel (composed of other 10 tribes) went into slavery to Assyria (German peoples) for breaking the covenant. Here there were probably some mixing with the English, Welsh type of peoples (Israel).

Later Judah goes into slavery to Babylon (which will become the Roman Empire and contain Assyria, but the 10 lost tribes have left Assyria by that time and spread out to northern Europe).

Prophet Jeremiah takes a daughter of the King of Judah, and moves the line of kings to modern day Ireland from where Queen Elizabeth II descends, as God promised this line would not be cut off (2 Samuel 7:10-17 ish).

Scriptures go silent for 600 years between OT and NT.

Where Charlemagne fits into this I dont know, but if he isn't linked to this line, its a knock that I don't mind getting in. (I really just want the celto anglo person to get some credit as not being a Catholic savage)

You need to learn this history, I am telling you this as a brother,
Charles the Great is German, I don't know where you get your
history above from, sorry dude, I have seen it before many times
and read about it and have friends that like how it sounds,
I have approached this history from many angles throughout the years,
just recently did some podcasts. There is nothing wrong with the wiki
that I see about Charlamagne, that's your primer. See the other thread
and think about what I am saying, I opened this thread cause of the one
below. The entire thread above is related with many references and sources.

Well thanks for the kind words, if you can't get passionate about this history,
well then their is something seriously wrong with someone, either you don't know
the history which is important and key or you should not be on these forums.

Leftists and Jews, Muslims, hate this history, along with the Occult they control.

Like Eustace Mullins says.

Charles the Great also had laws against the Jews, he was the Holy Roman Empire they hated.

They mass murdered the Germans and the Russians, the Christians, the Greeks.

You are way off, The Anglo Saxons,Franks (Charlemagne) Are all Germans,this is documented fact.Celts are another group that dominated Western Europe prior to the Roman period.
I can tell you are without knowledge of this as you speak of the English as a seperate group,where they are not. The word "English" comes from the group known as the Angles In Germany ,to this day, England in called Angland. The Welsch are Celtic .
Sorry.,your Herbert Armstrong theories on European migration are without historical evidence or mention.

[D sciple]

I got most of my info from this site for all who are interested. The info is spread out but not too hard to find. http://jahtruth.net/

[keehah]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne

By forcibly Christianizing the Saxons and banning on penalty of death their native Germanic paganism, he integrated them into his realm and thus paved the way for the later Ottonian dynasty.

Today he is regarded not only as the founding father of both French and German monarchies...

it is impossible to be certain of the date of the birth of Charlemagne however best guesses include 1 April 747, 15 April 747, or 1 April 748...

The name derives from Germanic *karlaz "free man, commoner", which gave German Kerl "man, guy" and English churl. His name, however, is first attested in its Latin form, "Carolus" or "Karolus."

In many European languages, the very word for "king" derives from Charles' name (e.g., Polish: król, Czech: král, Slovak: kráľ, Hungarian: király, Lithuanian: karalius, Latvian: karalis, Russian: король, Macedonian: крал, Bulgarian: крал, Serbian: краљ, Croatian: kralj, Turkish: kral)

Same thing with Keehah, we were friends, praised each other, both of you are third worlders

You are anti west.

There should be rules against trolling and blatantly lying, you ruin threads.
You are more open about your deceits now, I with time understand them better.
