Why does mainstream Viking coverage skip the Cannabis in the Oseberg grave?

834 CE. Two women buried together in a ship on the Norwegian coast.

With them: a chariot, their cats, weaving tools — and a small pouch of hemp seeds.

No rope. No fabric. No fibre. Just the seeds.

Skeletal analysis showed both women had the bodies of professional athletes. Bone density and muscle attachments built by a life of demanding training. No pampered queens. Beside them lay a vǫlu-stav — the staff of a völva. An oracle who practiced seiðr: trance

Trained bodies. Sacred ritual. A pouch of seeds.

Thousands of miles away, the same plant was held sacred by India's sadhus and tantrikas. Same disciplined body. Same alert mind. Same plant.

DNA research now shows the North and India share common ancestors from the steppe peoples 4,000 years ago. Thor and Indra are not strangers — they are siblings. And the plant in a völva's pouch is the same plant in a yogi's hand.

Cannabis seeds in the Oseberg ship burial (834 AD) — and the case that the woman buried with them was a völva, not a queen

Svensk medias förfall & tystnadskulturen

Jonas Gummesson, grundaren av Kalla fakta och tv4 nyheterna skriver i sin bok "Media från insidan" om varför han sa upp sig själv. Man fick inte längre granska makten och då är det inte längre en demokrati utan en "diktatur i en demokratiskt kostym".

Ett av de perspektiv som han aldrig fick lov att publisera igenom åren var hur politiken samarbetade, dem kunde skrika och gapa på varann i TV och i annan media men bakom kulisserna var alla vänner. T ex har SD och S röstat ihop i alla viktiga sakfrågor sen start även fast dem i media bråkar.

Det som är mest oroväckande är att Schibstedt nu köpt upp tv4 också. Dem som stal 100tals miljoner skattepengar rakt ned i deras privata ägares fickor.

I maj 2024 avslog Mediestödsnämnden Svenska Dagbladets ansökan om mediestöd för året, med motiveringen att 68 miljoner kronor överförts till ägarna 2022 och 71 miljoner kronor 2021 enligt HB Svenska Dagbladet AB & Co:s årsredovisning. Den tidigare SvD-medarbetaren Jonas Gummesson beskrev koncernens utveckling i en debattartikel i Dagens Media 22 januari 2025.
