Plans for this year
More notes, references and relevant links will be added below.
Solari book review of Codex Oera Linda by Catherine Austin Fitts (Solari Report).
NEW DELUXE EDITION — There will most likely be a third edition, deluxe hardcover with ribbons, linen back and appendices incl. color images of all manuscript pages (perhaps page filling, 1 page each), in the spring of 2022.
SHIPPING TIME — In the interview, when I say that shipping takes two weeks or more, I ment shipping to USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand (and other destinations outside Europe). Within Europe it is much shorter (non-EU often somewhat longer than a week).
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” was a quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” was from Krishnamurti.
Version of the video with Finnish subtitles here.
Some of the choices I made translating Oera Linda are very different from the ones made by earlier translators. Here is one example, with some explanation.
[143/28] chapter 16a. Canals and Dykes (longer fragment below)
THÉR THJU DÁNTE HETH FON EN HOF
Ottema (1872, 1876, p. 195): die de gedaante heeft van een hoef (i.e. hoof)
Sandbach (1876, p. 195): which has the form of a hoof
Wirth (1933): welche die Gestalt eines Hufes hat (i.e. hoof)
Overwijn (1941, p. 147): as Ottema
Jensma (2006): as Ottema*
[* added note: hier wordt de naam 'Oldehove' (de jongste van de drie terpen waarop Leeuwarden werd gebouwd) verklaard uit 'Oude hoef' (...)]

Menkens (2013): der die Form eines Hufes hat (i.e. hoof)
Ott (2022): which is like unto a palace garden
Still, HOF may very well (also, or in the first place) have been the original word for hoof, considering these cognates:
hoof - English ("A hoof [...] is the tip of a toe of an ungulate mammal [...]" - wiki)

hófur - Icelandic

Etymologists suggest this word was derived from the verb 'do'. This could be true, but in OL the present root of this verb is DVA, past DÉ-, while varieties with DÁ- do not occur.
