How Swedes and Norwegians Broke the Power of the ‘1 Percent’
Both countries had a history of horrendous poverty. When the 1 percent was in charge, hundreds of thousands of people emigrated to avoid starvation. Under the leadership of the working class, however, both countries built robust and successful economies that nearly eliminated poverty, expanded free university education, abolished slums, provided excellent health care available to all as a matter of right and created a system of full employment. Unlike the Norwegians, the Swedes didn’t find oil, but that didn’t stop them from building what the latest CIA World Factbook calls “an enviable standard of living.”

Kelvin-Helmoholtz Instability manifested in clouds.
It happens when two mediums (wind and cloud) meet at different velocities and produce waves. Sort of like blowing across a glass of water.

The Knights Templar were highly unlikely to be freemasons, but their story and destruction on the notorious Friday the 13th created legends that survived. They were crusaders devoted to their quest, and rose to power matching that of kings, and even created a global (which at that time basically meant Europe) banking system!
Some of the remains of the templars DID infuse with the Scottish freemasons, and their secret rites quite certainly influenced the rites in freemasonry. The crimes of which the Knights Templar were accused of, were later directed also to the freemasons.
