Robert, sad, but true - or maybe better, in the light of this info about the
original "funding," some thirty billion Swedish Crowns, not sad at all . . .

"The old Chinese artificers and their successors Schultze and Nobel had
devised a philtre far more potent than they knew."

But it's been a long way from those "old Chinese artificers" to the Nobels,
the German Luftwaffe bombing Malta and the V2. Once Pandora's box had been
opened there was no way of spreading the disease, but every step had to be
done by humans, individuals who had made the decision to make their living
on the death of others by accepting the Darwinist binary.

"All the money taken out of these fields by the Nobels has gone into Nobel
prizes."

Nobel, Alfred (Stockholm, 21.10.1833-San Remo, 10.12.1896)
Swedish chemist and industrialist, invented the dynamite in 1867. His
brothers Robert (1829-1896) and  Ludwig (1831-1881) were leading in the
development of the Baku oil-industry.
My Brockhaus doesn't give me any info on "Schultze."
