Mana of Disinfolklore

Troll, the clue is in the “trol” element of “control.” So again, it's going back to this idea of movement, which if we look in Shakespeare's English, “trole the bowl,” meaning “pass the bowl.”

This is the idea of the pipe being passed around, you troll the bowl. And so control and patrol, we were on patrols in eastern Ukraine. These aren't mere coincidences, I realised. And eventually, after a lot of work, I basically started in earnest around February 2020 looking into folklore, really, because all I knew about folklore was I recognised a family resemblance between what was going on at Bridge and folklore, but I didn't know much about it apart from what I remembered from childhood. And it opened up this whole universe, including this idea of the TR sound, which is obviously in trans as well, which the far right love to use. And I think it's probably the best example of its early use in an Indo-European-European language is in this idea of Rta, which means truth in Sanskrit and means what is. What is not illusory:

So this is also the origin of the right, the writ, right writ, it's in authority, it's in sovereignty, it's the Rit sound in security, integrity, territorial integrity, and fertility…
