LEST ~ deceit, trick, guile, ruse, etc.

1618: Deceit is playing tricks to entertain
Gullibility, Freeman is warned by Memory.

In fragment 5 below, LESTICH was interpreted by Ottema as lastig (troublesome) instead of listig (sly). This (imo) mistake was copied in all later translations (that I know of) thus far.

noun
LEST (sing.) - 6, 7, 8, 9

LESTIGOSTE - 3 (superlative)

Oera Linda video part 2 - Subverted History series

A tree has grown from seeds I started planting ten years ago and now it bears fruits — delicious, refreshing and medicinal.


Watch the whole Subverted History series here.
Blog post with part one and fragments list here.

Description of the video (on Nov. 1), by Asha Logos:
The second video in a three-part series on the 'Oera Linda Book'. We discuss the probable Phrygian, Greek, and Indian connections, the genetic and cultural overlap with the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, the little known Frisian retaking of Rome, the seemingly anciently related Phoenicians who chose to walk a *very* different path.. and quite a bit more.

Who were the 'true' Germans, or 'genuine' Scythians, Saxons, or Fryans - those who speak of 'royal obligations', and seemed to seek justice above all else?

Whether conspiracy or organic occurrence or something in between, developing a clear understanding of our history seems to be increasingly difficult. Old books disappear, or are nearly impossible to obtain.. new books dealing with relevant subject matter seem to be a hodgepodge of speculative guesswork, driven by modern political and cultural considerations.

This is devastating - the real possibility exists of losing our understanding of our past.. and because we orient ourselves according to what we learn, according to what we believe to be past experiences, those capable of proactively authoring the past are essentially shaping the future.
Truth *must* win the day, here. All is at stake.

If you haven't watched the first video on the OLB, you'll want to start there.

I've stumbled upon so much of immense potential value, in recent research.. I'm very much looking forward to sharing.
Part 3 coming soon.
