Now while I know that not all Soldiers are Murderous Bastards, since I know some of them personally, I do know that many are and others just stay quite and follow orders EVEN when they know what they are doing is wrong.And that makes them just as guilty as the ones who commit these attrocious acts.

Sorry but that's just how it is............and too long people in this Country glorify Soldiers as if they can do no wrong and that has to stop.Soldiers are not gods,they are just humans like us.And humans have a potential for causing pain and suffering on a Massive scale.We need to see them as just men,not messiahs or savoirs.Now Disclaimer This Blog does not attack Soldiers as Individuals or say that they are all killers.This Blog attacks the Army as an Institution and the Government that it works for. So I dont want to see a bunch of Morons coming to my Blog claiming that I hate all Soldiers.Got that?

That being said let's talk about what it is you are going to be seeing on this Documentry.


Fallujah, The Hidden Massacre is a documentary film by Sigfrido Ranucci and Maurizio Torrealta which first aired on Italy's RAI state television network on November 8, 2005. The film documents the use of weapons that the documentary asserts are chemical weapons, particularly the use of incendiary bombs, and alleges indiscriminate use of violence against civilians and children by military forces of the United States of America in the city of Fallujah in Iraq during the Fallujah Offensive of November 2004.

The primary theme of the film is its establishment of a case for war crimes committed by the United States in its military offensive against Fallujah in Iraq.The film documents the use of weapons based on white phosphorus and other substances similar to napalm, such as Mark-77, by American forces.

Interviews with American ex-military personnel who claimed to have been involved in the Fallujah offensive back up the case for the use of weapons by the United States, while reporters who were stationed in Iraq discuss the American government's attempts to suppress the news by covert means.


White phosphorus (WP) is a flare- and smoke-..producing agent and an incendiary agent that is made from a common allotrope of the chemical element phosphorus. The main utility of white phosphorus munitions is to create smokescreens to mask movement from the enemy, or to mask his fire. In contrast to other smoke-causing munitions, WP burns quickly causing an instant bank of smoke.



WP munitions are very common—particul..arly as smoke grenades for infantry; loaded in defensive grenade dischargers on tanks and other armored vehicles; or as part of the ammunition allotment for artillery or mortars. However, white phosphorus has a secondary effect. While much less efficient than ordinary fragmentation effects in causing casualties, white phosphorus burns quite fiercely and can set cloth, fuel, ammunition and other combustibles on fire.


It also can function as an anti-personnel weapon with the compound capable of causing serious burns or death. The agent is used in bombs, artillery and mortars, short-range missiles which burst into burning flakes of phosphorus upon impact. It is referred to in military jargon as "WP". The slang term "Willy(ie) Pete" or "Willy(ie) Peter", dating from World War I and common at least through the Vietnam War, is still used by infantry and artillery servicemen to refer to white phosphorus.


WP weapons are controversial today because of their potential use against civilians. While the Chemical Weapons Convention does not designate WP as a chemical weapon, various groups consider it to be one. In recent years, the United States, Israel, Sri Lanka and Russia have used white phosphorus in combat. The USA's use of WP in Iraq in the Iraq War has resulted in considerable controversy among critics of the war


Field reports referred to WP use against insurgents, but its use was denied until November 2005, when the Dept of Defense admitted to the use of WP while stating that its use for producing obscuring smoke is legal and does not violate the CWC. A DoD spokesman admitted WP "was used as an incendiary weapon against enemy combatants," though not against civilians. Israel's use of WP in Lebanon in 2006 and the Gaza Strip in 2009 was denied by the Israeli authorities, then acknowledged.

~ Stranger ~


Outside it was a hot summer day,
Every kid was out to play.
Even a boy named Corey.
He was playing hide-and-seek with his sister Tori.

Corey could not find her anywhere.
He looked to the forest and said, "There."
He figured she would be in the old hunters shack
He could go take a quick look, shortly he would be back.

He was kinda scared but he had to find his sister
Or his mother would be bitter.
Before he left he grabbed an apple for a snack,
Then he headed towards the shack.

When he reached the shack he shouted, "Tori, where are you?"
Then he shouted, "Please don't jump out and say boo!"
Corey looked around and saw an old lady.
She looked very nice, not a tiny bit shady.

Corey said, "Hello miss,
have you seen my sis?"
The old lady shook her head, "No, but I'll help you look,
can you just carry my book?"

Corey nodded his head, "Yes"
Then the old lady said, "My name is Bess"
Corey replied, "Hi, I'm Corey."
He then picked up the old lady's book about a sad story.

They walked around for hours
Corey was sure they were lost, he couldn't see his towns clock towers.
Corey started to cry, "We can't find her! She's lost for sure!"
Bess then said from behind, "Because I took her..."

A stroke of fear went down Corey's spine.
He was about ready to run out of that forest of pine.
But before he could, a sack went over his head.
Corey wished he was home, safe in his bed.

He struggled to be free,
But Bess was stronger than he.
He could barely see the forest,
Looking out of the sack was like a test.

Then all of a sudden, something sharp went in Corey's back.
Then everything went black.

Corey was never seen again.
No one could find the boy, age ten.
Police were sent looking, and dogs too.
But all they could find was a bloody shoe.

The moral od the story is just one key
point, don't trust stranges, no matter what you see.

Don't trust strangers, tend
to stay away from them, make it a trend,
So you don't end up like Corey, with a terrible end...

That poem was part of a School project,so in a way it's kind of like my short Story "Date with Death" except that I did that story for someone else,not for my own project.


~ Shadoweaters ~



Jim woke to a sound.
He thought he heard his sister pound
the wall.
He wandered why she didn't just call.

He got up to see why she wanted his attention.
He walked into her room to see what she wanted to mention.
But when he opened her door,
All he heard was her loud snore.

Then from down stairs came a noise.
Jim wondered if it was his little bro, playing with toys.
So he went down stairs
and noticed the carpet was full of tears.

He looked all around the first floor,
and all Jim saw was more
tears in the carpet
It was filled with holes like a net.

The furniture was destroyed
Jim was starting to get annoyed.
He wondered if it was a cruel prank,
by his friend Frank.

Jim walked into the kitchen, and almost fell
from shock. He could not tell
what he saw was.
All he heard was the fridges buzz.

He saw four black masses,
they were similar looking to leeches, which he saw in his biology classes.
Except these things were as black as coal.
Jim almost collapsed, his mind had taken its toll.

Red eyes appeared on their heads
He wondered if he was hallucinating, maybe it was his meds.
Then four black tentacles appeared underneath them.
And from their mouth, dripped red flem.

Their mouth was edged with jagged teeth.
The red flem dripped on the floor beneath.
Jim then ran.
He wanted to get away from that creature clan.

The creatures ran after him,
with the intention to kill poor Jim.
He tried to run upstairs to warn his family.
But he tripped and landed on his knee.

Before he could get up, something wrapped
around him, he felt trapped.
He looked and saw it was one of the creatures black
tentacles. They were going to kill Jim, for a snack.

Jim got out his knife,
so he could fight for his life.
He then cut the tentacle.
Its scream sounded like a bird mixed with a dying bull.

Jim ran into his room.
He felt this was going to be his tomb.
The door was locked.
Everything was silent except for the ticking of a clock.

Then to his horror, the creatures started crawling under the door.
Jim was doomed to these creatures of gore.
Jim ran to his window,
But a fifth creature was on the otherside, unaware of the snow.

Then something pulled Jims leg.
He fell hard, like a full keg.
The creatures wrapped around him.
They were attacking all over, limb by limb.

Then Jim felt something on his neck,
it felt like a birds peck.
Jim stopped moving and closed his eyes.
He didn't even have time to say his goodbyes.

When Jims body was found,
his family was so shocked they didn't make a sound.
Jims friends cried for their dead bud.
Jims body was shriveled, and drained of blood.

A note from our Writer :

The story isn't called "Shadoweaters" because the creatures eat shadows. Its called "Shadoweaters" because the creatures only come out at night to eat.


And last but not least, my personal favorite,


~ The Puppet ~

It was Troy’s fourteenth birthday,

He was so excited he didn’t even go out and play.

He didn’t even mind when his dog bit him on the couch.

He didn’t even say “Ouch!”



Around noon came Troy’s dad,

Even his dad was glad!

He went upstairs and into the attic.

Troy was so excited he almost felt sick.



About five minutes later his dad came back,

He was carrying a box of the color black.

He handed it to Troy with a smile,

Troy hoped it was a new pet reptile.



Troy opened the box and frowned.

He hoped he was being clowned.

Inside the box was a puppet.

He wondered if he could sell it for a profit.



Troy shouted, “I hate it!”

He was not happy with his dad, not one bit.

He ran up stairs,

Then into his room, away from his family affairs.



Troy fell asleep and woke up in the night,

It was dark, he wanted his old nightlight.

The only light was from the moon.

It was shining on his puppet, which looked like a creepy goon.



Troy laid down his head.

He was comfortable in his bed.

But then he heard a small pound.

He sat up and looked for the source of the sound.



He noticed that his puppet was gone.

Then he heard something say, “Hey little moron!”

He looked behind him and saw his puppet.

He wasn’t very tall like a hobbit.



Troy jumped out of his bed,

He saw that his puppet’s eyes glowed red.

The puppet then began to speak again,

“Your dad is a nice craftsman.”



Troy sat there, his mouth agape.

His mind by now was in terrible shape.

The puppet continued,

“He made me with his heart, and you just cried and booed!”



“Now, I’m gonna take you down you brat!”

Like a bat

The puppet flew at Troy.

He was going to take care of this selfish boy.



Troy quickly punched the puppet in the face,

Then ran so quickly, he was gone without a trace.

The puppet ran after him.

The puppets face, smiling with grim.



The puppet tackled Troy and they rolled down the stairs.

They hit one of the chairs.

Troy threw the puppet off.

The puppet hit a wall. Then stood back up and had a quick cough.



Troy turned and ran for the back door.

The puppet grabbed Troy’s ankles and he fell to the floor.

The puppet grabbed Troy’s face,

Troy struggled and couldn’t get out of the puppets embrace.



Then for Troy, everything turned black.

The last thing heard was, “ See ya later Jack!”



The next morning Troy’s dad Walked downstairs into

The dining room stroking his hairdo.

And on the floor he saw a puppet.

He wondered if it was taken there by the family pet.



But the dad was shocked, this was not the puppet he gave his boy.

It looked just like his son Troy...





Now what's creepy about some of Jacob's stories is that although he did no research what so ever, some of the stories resembles real life cases and Folkloric stories. The first one of course there are many cases of Child Abduction a day, but the second one Shadoweaters actually reminds me of Vampires from Middle-Eastern lore such as the Akhkharu from Syria I think it was? Which is a Succubus that leaves it's victims as an Empty Husk devoid of both Blood and other Bodily fluids.The same creature can be found in Hebrew lore.



And the last story reminded me of a real life case in the 60's or 70's where a Man that was sleep walking disapeared one Night and his wife found a Voodoo Doll that looked identical to him even wearing the same sleep cloths as he did that Night.Reality can truly be stranger than fiction.If you call that reality of course.







Happy Halloween- Samhain-All Soulds Day-Old Hallows'..Eve-Festival of the Dead-and Dia de los Muertos!!!!!









Also, add Jacob and subscribe to his Blogs,they're amazing.

-The Master

Today is the Day of Dr. Martin Luther King, one of the many Martyrs of the Struggle both here and around the World.I think what sickens me most about the Right-Wing is how they attack a Brave Man or Women when they're alive and then when they're dead and can no longer speak for themselves,the Forces of Imperialism try to use that person as their "Icon" for getting the support of the Popular Masses.The Government now claims Martin as their Hero and a "True American Patriot" as many of the Liberals from the Democratic Party and the Conservatives from the Republican Party now say.When just a few years ago they persecuted him and his family and all who were associated with him, by having the FBI spy on him and his family and Co-workers and actually tried to pressure him into Committing Suicide by spreading rumors that he was some how unfaithful to his wife by committing Adultery with another Woman, who by the way was his Secretary helping him to prepare and Organize events all over the Country.This is an Important History lesson for all the World who think Bush is the first President to Violate Human Rights by spying on and persecuting Political Activists in this Country.He is yet another in the long line of Imperialist Lap Dogs who have violated every single UN Charter in the Book. And then speak to the People of the world about "Peace" and "Democracy" while American Soldiers are Raping 14 Year-old girls in Iraq and killing Human Rights Activists accusing them of "Terrorism."

They now seem to have forgotten all about this. They claim he was a Pure Blood "Capitalist" and loved the American Government and Dream.But this my friends, was a lie.Dr. King was a Liberal, that much is true. But he had a Strong support and Leaning for Socialism which he learned in Collage and Universities after seeing White and Black Students alike (Our Communist Brothers and Sisters) being Murdered and beaten by the Police at Anti-Government Rallies all over the Country.
Martin was a Social Democrat, a Radical Liberal Democrat who tries to combine Communism with Capitalism as a way of Destroying Capitalism.Now obviously History has proven that this is not so.We have seen the result of Social Democracy in Europe and we see that all it has done is make Capitalism stronger because it creates the illusion of being more "just" than Free Market Capitalism and because of this it's been hard for any real Leftist to make change there.Capitalism can only be broken and thus Destroyed either through Armed Revolution or Radical Changes made in Revolutionary new Laws that will change the Government in huge chunks as opposed to Liberal Reforms where the same dirty system is just recycled.But I digress, at least he was a Big Step up from the regular Liberals who defended the Government Blindly even though they were violating Human rights all over this and other Countries.

Comrade Martin Luther King in his Speech called "Beyond Vietnam" delivered April 4th, 1967 in New York City near the Riverside Church publicly defended the Democratic Socialist Government of Comrade Ho Chi Minh and even said that the USA wouldn't allow Democratic Elections in that Country because the people clearly would have chosen the Communist Party over the Conservative Capitalist Party of the South Vietnamese Military Dictator who was supported by the United States.King also spoke often of Socialist Redistribution of all resources to end Poverty and bring the Poor and the Working Class to power as opposed to a Dictatorship of Wealthier Classes.King also fought to Unionize all Workers and help end injustice everywhere.He was a loyal and out spoken member of the Anti-War Movement and of the Drafts.The Government is killing his memory by limiting his role in the Fight against Imperialism, to simply "fighting for equal rights of all non-white people".His Role went well beyond that.He was a true Radical.Sure I criticize some of his views because he was still too much of a Liberal to make real Communism happen.And he was so loyal to his Middle-Class Liberal friends that because of them his Movement almost failed since they didn't have the courage to be as outspoken as him and almost resulted in the defeat of his Movement.But no one can deny he at least had the Gaul to do something about the injustices of this and other Countries.Which included Protesting the Imperialist Wars by the United States against Vietnam and Latin America when the USA was beginning to support Militarism in Latin America and other Countries.Enough is Enough! We have had it with these Parasites taking one of our own and using him as their Symbol.Dr. King is probably turning in his grave right now listening with all of this Disgusting Propaganda using him to brainwash people into thinking "america always gives equal rights to people" and "here you can do anything and not be judged" ha! someone should say that to all of the Muslims that were rounded up the Government on 9/11 and either forcibly deported or put into Camps in different parts of the Country where even today they have no access to friends,family,or lawyers.Or perhaps the Japanese who went through that same ordeal in World War II, or the Native Americans who were the first people to be put in Concentration Camps in the first place.Perhaps all of the Mexican Women who were Raped in the Military Riots (America conveniently calls it the "Zoot Suit" Riots blaming everything on Mexicans) where Mexicans were being beaten up and attacked because a group of young Mexicans defended themselves from Racist White Soldiers who showed up in there Neighborhood and tried to start a fight with them.But yes how convenient, Americans don't seem to be very good at history,in fact it seems that they all have a chronic case of Alzheimer's in here because they conveniently forget that they were the ones who commited most of the crimes or violations against Human Rights.And then sometimes they even like to imagine things.They imagined that the Natives were just poor,dumb,Savages that needed to be Civilized.They imagined that it was necessary to get involved in Wars like Vietnam because the poor ignorant Vietnamese people were scared and needed protection,they imagined that the Russians invaded Afghanistan and they needed to get involved to save the poor Afghanis (The Russians didn't invade, they were asked to come there by Afghan President Barbak Kamal because the War Lords and other Extreme Elements were trying to take over,so it was the Americans who invaded not Russia) and now how funny,they imagined that Dr.King was a true american Patriot and never once criticized the Government or the American way of Life.Funny huh? Yet as comical as the rubbish that comes out of there mouth is,I cant find it within myself to laugh.Instead I try not to cry and let tears of sadness run down my face knowing that such good people like Dr.King are being Slandered while they lie 6 Feet in the dirt.It's Shameful.But I will not weep,instead I will do everything within my power to preserve the true Legacy of this and many other good men and women who deserve better than to be used for lies and propaganda.And anyone who claims to love these people should do the same.Do you really believe in Dr.King's Mission? Then :
Don't go to festivals and Carnivals Organized by Capitalists to celebrate Martin. These same people refused to back him up when he wanted to make laws implementing Socialist Income Redistribution to help end Poverty.These same people were the ones who wanted him dead. Tell others about his true Legacy and Organize Counter-Festivals and Protests against the Government backed Celebrations they are making for him. Don't support these hypocritical Political Leaders like Barack Obama who attacked his own Pastor just because he criticized America's long history of invading and oppressing other Countries. Don't vote for either Party because both of them are Liers who say one thing to your face and than do another behind your back,as they did with King.But most of all Don't just sit there and do nothing until next year when MLK day comes again.Get off your rear and do something now and everyday of the years.Follow his example and try to make things better,question Authority,and most of all,don't separate yourselves into little groups just because of what color or Ethnicity you are.The biggest trick this Regime has done is turn us all against each other so that we wont United to crush them.I'm tired of turning on the TV and hearing about 6 White Youths killing a "dirty Mexican" or about Asians killing each other because they each think they're Nation of Origin is better than the other.Or Jews who gang up against Arabs and vice versa or anymore of this Garbage.Use love and not hate and if you must use hate,then direct your hate where it truly belongs, at the Government and the Elite that uses them to do there dirty work for them.Because they are the ones who are truly making life impossible to live.It's not the Mexican Worker next door or the Black Man across the street who is raising the Gas Prices and lowering the pay for you and me.It's those at the very top whom we foolishly trusted for too long to do something decent for all of us who are to blame.They're the ones sending your kids to be killed in a foreign Country for oil,they're the ones who are wont give us free Health care or Schools and instead embezzle money out from under our Noses and then expect us to pay more for services we never get,and they are the ones who are spying on our phone calls and Torturing civilians in Guantanamo Bay.Period.Have a happy MLK day.
 
 

When most people think of Dracula they automatically imagine some guy wearing a Cape and Suit that looks kind of like what they used to wear in the Operas in olden times.With black hair slicked to the back and depending on which is your favorite Dracula movie he'll either have a British accent, Romanian accent, or wont have an accent at all.You'll know him as being the master seducer of women and in some cases you'll even imagine some good in him, an Aristocrat with charm and cunning.The perfect example of an Ancient Count.Well, some of these things are true.But most of them are pure fiction from Hollywood.But what if I told you that Count Vladislav Dracula really did exist? but that first he was a Prince of an Entire Nation, that he built and re-built a Rebel army made up of Peasants to seize the throne after he was kicked out the first time.That he was so cunning and charming his own worst enemies sometimes joined forces with him and backed him up, and that maybe, just maybe..........he really was a Vampire.Or still is, and wanders the Earth even as we speak.Tonight my children, we shall explore the world of a Sadistic genius, far worse than the Dracula Bram Stoker wrote about. A Man who killed Thousands not only in his Country, but in other parts of Eastern Europe.An evil Monarch that struck fear into the hearts of his enemies and even killed members of his own family.Of course many of them tried to kill him too.Tonight we explore the true story of Dracula.............




Bloodline of Immortals?

Wallach, or "Wallachia," is a combination of the English words "Wales" and "Welsh".It was a German word for "Romans," back when the Goths lived in the Balkans.It also turns up as the word "Vlach," a Slavic name for the language of the Romans and its speakers.The Latin word "Blachus" and the Greek word "Vlakhos" are also words for the Romans.Even today many Romanian Nationalists claim that they are Latin Decendants of the Roman Empire.


Although there are some who believe otherwise.Wallachia and the region surrounding it had a long history of being conquered by larger Nations and being Puppets of Foreign powers.Wallachia is a province of Romania bordered to the north by Transylvania and Moldavia, to the east by the Black Sea and to the south by Bulgaria.A tribe of people called the Kipchak (also Cumans) which were a nomadic tribe from Central Europe and the Balkans that settled there had taken over Wallachia

And from among them a great Military Leader of the Kipchak namedThocomerius took over as the first Prince of Wallachia.It's possible that the family of that same man or at least other Kipchaks also became the original royal families of places like Bulgaria, Hungary, and Moldavia.No one knows if he took over by force or if the people already living there recognized him as a great Leader and allowed him to come to Power.There are no records of him having taken over violently, so either way he didnt spill any blood to come to Power.He was a Voivode,the Supreme Commander of a Powerful Army. The title Voivode also came to be known as Duke,Count, Prince etc... in his case, he was both a Prince and a Military Leader.The man is somewhat strange because his Origins are very obscure, and there are different legends claiming different things about him which has led many to believe he was possibly an immortal being himself as many believe about his future decendant Dracula.In some stories his name was Radu Negru (Radu the Black) a Character that according to 17th Century Chronicles was the first Prince of Wallachia (which of course in real life he is the first Prince of Wallachia this is his supposed name in Folklore) and because of this many have even called him Thocomerius Negru.But there are other Historians claiming that he was an Aristocrat or Boyar named Tikhomir who lived in Bulgaria around that time because some believe that his name of Thocomerius is a Slavic translation of the words "quiet" and "peace" now at first glance anyone reading that as a translation wouldnt believe it was the same War like Lord for the simple fact that Thocomerius was anything but quiet and peaceful.However, one of the reasons many Occultists believed this man could have been that specific Boyar is that, if he truely was an Immortal being, like a for example Vampyr, then throughout the ages he would have had to have found ways of blending in and disappearing at a given time.Hence his being "quiet" and "peaceful" after each disapreance.After all, there are so many multiple identities for the man it is almost impossible to rule such a thing out entirely.Others believe he is an Ancient Lord found in Russian History Books and articles and that the true definition of the Man's name is Toctomerie which means "Hardened Steel" and is a name which has Origins in the Kipchak people's languages.And others claim that he was a minor Prince of the Barbarian tribes of Mongolia (The Huns) named Toq-Timur, the son of the Mongol King Mongke-Timur (The 5th Khan or King of the Blue Horde). He lived in what came to be Wallachia and other parts of Eastern Europe back when the Mongols ruled that Territory.He has many other possible aliases if in fact he had lived so long (humanly impossible, but then again he might not have been Human at all).And the list of possible identities goes on to
Tihomir,Togomer,Totomer,Tugomir and etc.The point being that right from the very begining, there is something quiet not right or normal with Dracula's family.He has a main Ancestor who may or may not have been Immortal or who led a life of secrecy and kept Multiple Aliases and who had commanded different armies under different titles.Now common sense says he couldnt possibly have been all of these men.Yet the strange aura of mystery and obsecurity remains.Now we see where Dracula got his Mystery from.It runs in the family.Sometime after Lord Thocomerius died his Son Basarab I took Power in Wallachia.


Depiction of Prince Basarab I
Like his father before him, Basarab I was also a Voivode both as a Prince and a powerful Military Commander.He finished what his Father started, he created what became the Government of Wallachia with his and his Father's Bloodline being what would become the eventual lineage of Wallachia's Monarchy.Many Occultists had a theory back a few years ago that Basarab and his father were really one and the same, and that Thocomerius only staged his Death and then posed as his own Son to hide the fact that he was Immortal.However I found many holes with that theory.One being that there's no way he could have kept on the pretense of being his own son and keeping Power for so long. Sure a regular wealthy person could do it, why even someone who has no wealth could do it.But a Political leader as famous and as Powerful as Thocomerius would never have been able to do it.Too many people had seen him, had known him, it would be like Bush or Clinton trying to blend in the scenary right now in our day.And his son created a whole Dynasty of different decendants including women so he could not have been pretending to be all of them obviously.Besides the fact that I'm sure many people saw both him and his son many times seperately and his son at all the stages in his youth. Not to mention that during the time when he first ruled I doubt he had a little boy around to pose as his son and then later on make himself look old and take on a youthful appearence to rule a second time.I dont care how old or wise this man may have been or what kinds of strange Powers he may have possessed.That's way too much work for anyone to have done.One thing remains certain though, the Mystery of Thocomerius will probebly never be solved because to truly know who the man was you would have to have been there so many Centuries ago.But could he have been an Immortal? And if so is it possible that Dracula and his family may have inherited strange Powers or Abilities from him? This might explain Dracula's Power to win almost any battle without so much as a scratch.It's not un-heard of after all.Many Royal families were said to have Magical Powers.In France the Original family of Monarchs there known as the Merovigians were said to have Magical Powers which include healing the sick and wounded, raising the dead,speaking to animals, and in some cases even flying.So Dracula's is not the only case where a family has some strange sort of Witchcraft going around.Could have the line of Thocomerius and his Son Basarab I have been a line of people weilding both Magical Power as well as Political Power? we may never know.

Early Life



The Dark Lord was born in Exile in Transylvania in 1431 in the City of Sighişoara as Vlad III Basarab also known as Vlad Draculea (also called Drakulya, and Dracula today)son of Prince Vlad II Basarab alias Vlad Drakul.He was born into a life of endless Civil War, Violence, family strife, betrayel, and constant conspiricies around him at all times.He was Wallachian from blood but was born in Transylvania because his father was driven from Power by the Nobility known as the Boyars and had been replaced by a relative from a rival family Clan named Alexandru I Aldea and was forced to seek refuge elsewhere.He spent most of his early life in Transylvania with his Father ruling as Governor and also Moldavia where his mother was originally from.The Royal Family of Wallachia was a very blood thirsty and treacherous family where it was counsin against cousin, and brother against brother.At the time Prince Vlad Dracula was born, Civil War had already plagued his Country for years.Basically,the Aristocrats of Wallachia known as the Boyars had siezed Power in the Country and they were the ones who decided who did or didnt sit on the Throne.The only way someone could even run a campeign to become Prince of Wallachia was to be of pure Blood from the line of Basarab.Thing is,the whole family was obviously decended from both Basarab I and Thocomerius.The Boyars claimed they wanted "only the closest living decendant for the throne of the Nation" but in reality this was just a political ploy to control the Country by putting in whoever would make the best puppet for them to manipulate and use to there own advantage.All sides of the family were fighting each other for the Boyar's favour.Vlad was a victim of this horrible rivalry almost since the day of his birth.Eventually the whole family was divided into two sides : The House of Dan I a ruler who died a War hero fighting Czar Ivan Shishman, and the House of Drăcul, whose House was started by a Powerful ruler named Mircea the Elder.

Mircea the Elder Voivode of Wallachia

He was Dracula's grandfather.Both sides were so desperate to keep having children to be able to build up there own legacies to claim the throne that even the illigetmate or bastard children were claimed as members of the Royal family,something no other Monachy in the world has ever done.Mircea the Elder had an affair with another Woman and Vlad II also known as Vlad Drakul (Vlad the Dragon) was born.

Vlad The Dragon
The same year his son Dracula was born he journeyed to Numremburg in Germany to join a secret society known as the Societas Draconistrarum (The Order or Society of the Dragon) this was one of the many "chilvalric" societies.

Basically Royals of the time wanted to create Elite Military forces identical to the ones the Popes used in the Crusades to slaughter innocent Jews and Muslims that wouldnt convert or give up there land.This was one of many Military organizations set up by Royals to murder each other for more wealth and power.It was an Extremist society of Religious fanatics from both the Catholic and Orthodox churches.They claimed to be the protectors of Christianity but really they only cared about Dominating the world under there influence.You know how you've heard Conspiracy Theorists talk about the New World Order and Illuminati and etc, etc, well those stories are really memories that evolved over time.The memories of the Order of the Dragon.

The organization went from being just another Society of loyal Knights to a Monarch to become an International secret Society with chapters all over the old World.These Elite wealthy and powerful men basically decided the fate of most of the Countries in power back then.And anyone who crossed them would meet with a fate worse than Death.But for the main part of there existence the Ancient Order proclaimed that they would fight against the Ottoman Empire and there Expanxionist military Policies to take over and convert the whole world to Islam.

Because he had joined the Order, Dracula's Father was re-named Vlad Drakul as a symbol of his loyalty to the new Order.He was also made Governor of Transylvania to rule and use as a base in which to attack Wallachia until he could return to Power.He was also a "liege" or Ally of Hungry, but more as a servant than a partner and he had an Obligation to serve Hungry's Monarch as that Ruler saw fit,not to mention that in order to ward off invasions from the Ottoman Empire he had to pay them tributes.He named his son Draculea which is an Orthodox chrisening meaning "Son of the Dragon" however the word Drakul also means "Devil" and "Demon" in fact to this day the worst offense in places like Eastern Europe is to be called a "Drakul" because of what the name means.There is even a Species of Vampire from Romania and other parts of Eastern Europe who bare that name.The Drakul.Some claim this is the basis for why so many people believed that Dracula was a Vampire.Because of his name.At the age of 5 Dracula was brought by his Father to join the Order of the Dragon and pledge his eternal loyalty to them and to it's Founders


Empress Barbara Von Cilli


Emperor Sigismund

Emperor Sigismund Emperor of Germany and also King of the Romans, Bohemia, Italy, Hungary, Croatia and Dalmatia and his second wife Barbara Von Cilli.So he was born in the middle of a Civil War between his half of the family and there followers known as the Drăculeşti and the other half of the family known as the Dăneşti just killing each other for the right to seize control of the throne.And to top it off he was inducted into a secret order since being nothing more than a child and if he ever even thought of leaving, that was enough to sign his death warrant.Dracula came from a big family, and although his Mother's name is not known, she was believed to have been a minor princess from Moldavia, and perhaps related to Alexandru cel Bun (Alexander the Good).However, one legend states that Dracula's true Mother was a Gypsy Woman who was also a Witch.The story goes that the Princess who married Dracula's Father was not able to have children, so Vlad took the Gypsy Witch and used her to continue the line of the Drakul.When she approched Vlad years later to tell him this, she was punished by being burned alive.No one knows if this story is true or not.His brothers were Mircea II, Vlad Călugarul(Vlad the Monk), and his youngest brother was Radu cel Frumos(Radu the Handsome).


Radu the handsome was a backstabber and betrayer so horrible that he made Judas Iscariot look like a true saint.He was just itching to kill all his brothers and especially Dracula himself for the chance to become the one and only ruler of Wallachia.Vlad lived most of his life in both Moldavia and then Transylvania.He had a close relationship with his Mother (whoever she was) and is believed she was Royalty because many records identify her with the term Chiajna or Princess.His oldest Brother Mircea had held the throne for a while at his father's request in 1442. Not because Vlad Drakul really wanted to give up the throne, but because Dracula's Father was a Coward and a Weakling who couldnt take the day to day threats on his own life for holding the Throne and the constant Political pressure that came from such a high rank so he sacrificed his own son instead.How touching no? poor Mircea had tried to do everything in his power to satisfy his father's wishes and fight off the Muslim Turks and there allies but was betrayed by the Boyars when he lost the battle of Varna in November 10, 1444. They then took him and using Iron stakes that were burned on the edges, burned and stabbed his eyes out blinding him and then buried him alive in a coffin.His death impacted Dracula which is one of the many factors that probebly made Dracula into a blood thirsty Tyrant who would later on go to become one of the greatest Mass Murderers in Human history.Vlad the Monk was not violent or evil and didnt try to seize control of the Throne by force so instead he led a Religious life in the many Churches of the time and later on became Ruler after Dracula's Death.Vlad The Impaler (Dracula) had no problems with any of his other Brothers, just with Radu who was by all accounts a lot like Cain from the Bible ready to kill his brother when the time was ripe for it. But if Dracula was like Abel, he sure as Hell didnt make the mistake of playing "nice" with his Murderous Brother.He learned to fight back and fight hard and would learn how to show no mercy with any of his enemies, even if they were related to him.Many believe there hatred of each other started ever since childhood,but the only official record of the sibling rivalry and how intense each other's hatred was comes from the time when they were hostages of the Ottoman Empire.You see Vlad and his brother Radu were actually given up to a foreign ruler for leverage so that both Vlad Drakul and his new "boss" would trust each other.


Sultan Murad II
There Father was trying to kiss up to Sultan Murad II (his own worst enemy) in order to gain Military support for his own claim to the throne in Wallachia,and also so he wouldnt invade Wallachia and conquer it.So he promised to give up vital lands to the country for the Sultan.But in order to ensure that he wasnt going to be double crossed, Murad demanded that he be given something of great value so that Drakul couldnt betray him.So he actually gave up his own flesh and blood to prove his loyalty.While in captivity, his hatred for Radu intensified or perhaps even began there.Radu saw how powerful the Ottoman Empire was and he knew that if he was to one day claim the throne for himself that he needed to be backed up by a great Power.So he began kissing up to the Sultan and even formed a friendship with his son


Mehmed II
Mehmed II so that he could not only have the support of the current Sultan but the future one as well.He also converted to Islam and denounced his Christian faith as blasphemy in order to truly to fit in.They say he went so far to appease the Sultan that after a few years he didnt even look as if he were a Wallachian but an Ottoman.He spoke the language fluently and with no accent and even dressed as they did. All the time of course Vlad's blood was boiling at the sight of his own brother betraying his people and renouncing his ancient heritage to become the poster boy for the Ottoman Sultan. And his hatred for his Father also grew as he believed his Father was a weakling and a traitor who not only gave up lands that belonged to the Wallachian people to a foreign Power but even gave up his own sons.Not to mention he swore an Oath to the Order of the Dragon to battle the Ottoman Empire and defend Wallachia from them and now he had turned his back on the Order and on his people.Yes by now his hate had become so intensified that whatever innocence was still in him at the time would've been gone.Of course if his new found hate did not scar his soul for life then the brutal torture he suffered at the hands of the Sultan's royal Torturer's surely did it.They tried not to damage him too much (physically) so that his Father would not be angered and turn on the Sultan.But the mental and emotional abuse he suffered while under them was what many think began to twist his mind and fill him up with an Anger so venomous that if he had been stabbed the Blood would have been like Toxic waste.He was constantly whipped and even deprived of light of any kind (either from the Sun or even Candle light)in the Underground Dungeon where he was forced to live in.It's even been said that by the time they started to limit the amount of Torture he was enduring and even allowed him to leave the dungeon, he stayed sensitive to the light for years to the point that even the most minimal light bothered his eyes.At the same time many of his Torturers began to fear him because Torture became a new Fascination for him and many times even began to admire how they were torturing him and started having conversations with them about the art of Torture.His sadism grew to a point that some believe part of the reason they stopped torturing him was because they didnt want to give him anymore ideas in case he should rule one day and employ many of the same tactics on them.Also,it just plain freaked them out that he derived such pleasure even from his own physical pain.He swore vengence on all those that had betrayed his people and prepared deep in his mind many plans that would allow him, and not his brother Radu, to be the new Prince of Wallachia and to one day crush all those that had torn his Nation apart.Later on a group of Boyars supposedly under the orders of the Governor of Hungry John Hunyadi also of the Order (who according to some stories may have been the illegitame son of Emperor Sigismund) had Vlad II assisinated for his betrayel of the Order of the Dragon.However in my own research this doesnt make any sense because the Boyars who killed Drakul were led by Vladislav II who was a Prince of the House of Dan I so I believe that the Murders of Drakul and Mircea II had nothing to do with the Order of the Dragon or John Hunyadi and it is possible that this was a rumour made up by the Dăneşti faction to cover up there planned Murders of the house of Drakul and make it look like they only came to Power as a consequence of what the Order did.Or perhaps the Order had alligned themselves with the Dăneşti faction temporarily and were later betrayed by Vladislav II and the other Dăneşti when they switched sides with the Sultan.But this also makes no sense because Mircea II was loyal to his Country and did not give it up to the Sultan as his Father did.But of all his Sons Dracula was the only one who had also been a member of the Order of the Dragon, he had been hand picked exclusively for this honor.So it is possible that since Mircea was not much of a Political leader and was not a member of the Order they decided he was expendible.Or perhaps the Order itself had no hand in it and it was soley the work of John Hunyadi.That is still debatable but there is some truth to it since Hunyadi put Basarab II son of Dan II in Power from the Dăneşti Faction thinking that they would remain loyal to fighting the Turks,instead they joined forces with the Sultan.So after Vlad Drakul and Mircea's Death the Ottoman Empire put in Vladislav II as ruler when Dracula was kicked out the first time since Radu was not yet ready to rule, which also means that the Ottoman's were probebly planning to wipe them out later on when Radu was ready.I havent seen so many betrayels and secret plots going on since people started voting for the next American Idol! The Boyars killed off Mircea and since the Ottomans hadnt joined forces with the Dăneşti yet, they set up Dracula as a Puppet ruler but that only lasted a few Months because later on

Hunyadi invaded the Country temporarily freeing it from Ottoman rule.Dracula then left to Moldavia where his Uncle Bogdan II gave him political asylum.Legend says that he had the habbit of using all sorts of mental tricks to confuse his enemies at War and there are several accounts (including this one)where Vlad actually put on the horse shoes of his steed backwards so that anyone trying to follow him would not know where he was truly going.But the bad luck just kept on coming for Vlad as his Uncle was killed by his own relative Petru Aron alias Petru III and ended up having to leave there as well.But he was smart, he knew how to turn a negative situation into a positive one and did the one thing that many would've have seen as suicide : he actually went to Hungry to meet up with John Hunyadi himself! something everyone thought was nuts because although he was forced to be a Puppet for the Ottoman Empire, no one else knew that and just assumed that he had betrayed the Order of the Dragon as did his father.But using his charm and charisma he soon convinced Hunyadi of his innocence and proved to be a powerful ally to him because of his vast knowledge of the Ottoman Empire's internal politics and workings.Not to mention the fact that Vlad had the guts to show up on Hunyadi's doorstep knowing he could've been killed on sight and still not being scared off.That was more than enough to make Hunyadi allign himself with Dracula and of course this all went well for Vlad because Hunyadi took him on as kind of Apprentice and taught him everything he knew about War and all the different Military tactics that he himself had used to assure victory.These teachings would latter give Dracula the skills and the knowledge he needed to carry out his own personal revenge and his rise to Power in Wallachia.


Vengence of Dracula

After having trained him not only Militarily on how to wipe out all Enemies but also Politically on how to become a powerful ruler, John Hunyadi made Dracula his own personal adviser and proclaimed him as Hungry's choice for the throne of Wallachia.Dracula also used his own charisma as well as Hunyadi's teachings to gain favour with the Order of the Dragon and showing his absolute loyalty against all enemies of the Order.Now with all the Powerful rulers and other members of the secret society as well as the Orthodox and Catholic churches behind him,Dracula and his mentor Hunyadi started a series of Military campeigns to take over Wallachia and overthrow Mehmed II and Radu.The campeign was simple yet effective : they would both attack two different parts of Ottoman controled territory and distract and confuse Mehmed II so that while he was too busy pulling the hairs out of his beard with frustration,Hunyadi and Dracula would disimate his armies and more importantly for Dracula, would give him total control of Wallachia and allow him to seize full power as ruler.In 1456 Hunyadi invaded Serbia and kicked out the Sultan's troops and at the same time Dracula invaded Wallachia not only with his own Army of Hungarian Soldiers given to him to lead by Hunyadi, but also with a Rebel army of angry Wallachian peasents who were sick and tired of being walked all over by the Ottoman Empire and had begun creating Resistence Movements for National Liberation under direct orders from Dracula himself.So while his Hungarian troops attacked in frontal assaults,his peasent Rebels led a series of hit and run Guerrilla strikes within the country and eventually when there numbers were large enough by the time Dracula invaded, they rose up in armed riots and directly attacked all of the Soldiers left inside the cities while Dracula faced the main garrisons in the surrounding Country side.He seized Power and afterwords Vladislav II was killed by Dracula's own hand when he entered the Palace to confront him for the Murders of both his Father and Brother.But it didnt stop there, after the death of Vladislav II Dracula began exterminating the rest of the the Dăneşti Faction one by one and sometimes in large grouped Assinations.After he killed the Prince in Power he started going after the remaining Dăneşti that had fled and had hidden in Villages and other rural areas to escape Vlad's order of extermination.Other members of that rival Faction were hiding in Transylvania were the Boyars also had allies with Saxon Traders and were attempting to align themselves with the Boyars once more to perform a Coup to re-take power.He eventually found another Prince of the rival Clan whom so far has not been named yet by any historical source I have been able to dig up.Whoever this Prince was, he was actually forced to kneel down and read his own Eulogy before being impaled a long with all his Followers in the Village he was discovered in.Some stories claim he impaled the entire village,but since his greatest support came from Loyal peasents whom had formed Resistence groups for his return to Power that is doubtful.Besides the fact that most of the stories about his attrocities while true, were exagerated to make Vlad look like an even more sinister ruler then he already was.In one popular story he had supposedly killed off over 600 Merchants who had tried to cheat him (or all of them based on one Merchant who did this) but in a letter written by one of his enemies, it says that he impaled 41 Merchants and not 600.And since this was one of his Mortal enemies putting the number at 41 and not a loyal sympathizer, I doubt this man would have had any reason to lie and limit the number of Vlad's victims.If anything I would have been more suspicious if he exagerated the number like many others have.However we must also note that while many stories are exagerated, the Village where the Dăneşti prince had been found was in Transylvania and not Wallachia.Therefore the peasents there were not his own subjects and most of them were probeby Saxons and at the time ethnic tensions between the Saxons and Wallachians were at there maximum level due to the fact that many Saxon traders had abused there trade privlages to steal from the Wallachian people.So Vlad may have impaled them all not only because of the Dăneşti they had hidden but also because they were of Saxon heritage and may have also been traders.So he wanted to leave a mark that the enemies of Wallachia would never forget.He had brutally slaughtered men,women,and children in that one village and in cold blood because of the prince they had hidden.He was both without remorse and without hesitation.And to make it worse he had actually humiliated the prince by forcing him to kneel in his presence and then read out his own eulogy.One can only wonder...would have Vlad made him read a short summary about his life that was accurate or true? Or would he have further embarrased the rival prince by making him read a mock eulogy that would have insulted him and poked fun at him?

"Here lies a Bastard of the Dăneşti a coward and a weakling like all of his brude.His life was a wasted life that should never have been allowed to go on for this long.Like all those of his ilk he was a thief who had tried to subvert the reign of the true inheriters of Basarab's Legacy.And now he shall suffer for his Sins in Hell with Lucifer's Demons torturing him for all Eternity.But in case the torments of the next world are not good enough, let us help him out by giving him some of the pain he has caused.I will not mention his name for he is weak and is therefore nothing.From the view of the world this insignificant life of his did not exist but was a mediocre dream that the fates implanted upon us all in our dreams to ensure that we would truly be bored enough to sleep.And with his physical death, the world is spared one less vermin to pollute it."
Perhaps something like that had been written.Maybe even by Vlad himself as a final ridicule of disdain against his enemy.Can you imagine it? There in the heat of the day with the Sun high in the sky making you pratically melt in your own cloths.The sweaty,stinky smell made only worse by the others already impaled before you reminding you of what is about to take place.Or perhaps they are still alive and wheeping,begging for mercy for him to come kill them because the pain is too much for them to bare.Mothers wheeping an trying to consul there children who dont want to die and grown men cowaring in fear screaming at the top of there lungs that they will be loyal to the Dark Lord.Perhaps even begging him to kill off there families but not them.But there cries and pleas ring on deaf ears for now all the pain and suffering they had vested unto the people of Wallachia was now being revisted upon them.And there was no where to run, no one to plead to for salvation.Just the pain endlessly going on for hours or even days and no one could save them.The mere site of such a thing may have been so horrible the prince of the Dăneşti may have begun crying.Or he may have held it all in but consumed by an all Powerful rage, by a desire to strike back at his tormentor,but Paralyzed with fear.After all,he had to have been,to have read his own eulogy and not curse Dracula or at least try to mock him? it sounds like at this point any movement of Dracula's or of his Soldiers would have frightened him.And then finally the moment he had been waited for.It seemed to last an Eternity, that moment before his torture/execution had finally come to pass.He had purposely drawn out the reading to give himself extra time in the land of the living.Maybe even cherrishing what little time he had left on this Earth to live.And finally,pain.Your screaming so loud it almost defeans you and the horrifying shrill of your own voice in pain traumatizes you and leaves your psyche scarred forever.A first and last Battle scar not only on your body but on your very soul to show your ancestors on the way to the next world.And as you feel yourself slip out of your mortal coils and into the Darkness of the Abyss,the final word that escapes from your lips is: Drakulya and then death comes with merciful arms wide open to deliver you from your suffering but the sheer terror and the horror of what has happened remains frozen on your face even after you are no longer inside your body.

From this day forward,what was left of Dracula's Humanity was all but lost.His soul beyond God's salvation and Christ's redemption.He had become the very monster that his name implies: Drakul,Devil,Demon,Dragon Drakulya the Son of the Dragon, of the Devil himself.A twisted and sadistic Tyrant, a killing machine.No longer the weak boy he had once been for now he had embraced his inner dark side and all bets were off now as to what he would later do.Now children would weep and women would cry at the very mention of his name.Now grown men would be reduced to trembling babies trying so hard not to let the fear show but finding it impossible to do just that.Now,he was both Sinner and Saint for while many would praise him, others would also condemn him.But as long as he had the souls of those loyal enough to follow him and do his bidding.He had become a living god in a godless country.From this day forward people would remember his name and him not as Vlad Draculea (Son of the Dragon) child of Vlad Drakul but would remember him as Draculea with the other translations (Son of the Devil and Son of the Demon) and also as his most infamous nick name Vlad Tepes, which means Vlad the Impaler.Pray for mercy,Lord Tepes has come for your very souls.

The Dark Reign of Vlad Tepes

What is possibly most remarkable about Dracula is how he had managed to do in Ancient times what it took many Modern Tyrants like Anastasio Somoza and Idi Amin so many years to do : Militarize an entire Country and turn it into a Prison in which even the most minote details of everyday life were reported to Government.Even with the might of the Soviet Union,Joseph Stalin with all his Power took up most of his natural life to build up the USSR as a World Power as well as a Dictatorship where as Vlad the Impaler in his Primitive Dark Age Country only took 6 Years to do both which he did simultaneasly not sacrificing any time to do things step by step.He knew that with the Political turmoil of his time he could easily have been deposed the same year just as it only took a few months to Overthrow him the first time.So he had to combine both of his tasks and bring about an incredible amount of work on himself to build up the Country and make it into a super power and also keep it stable both Economically and Politically.But it was better said when he was planning it out then done when he began putting his policies into action.After the Death of his Grandfather Mircea I alias Mircea the Elder the country had sunk into a huge depression not only Economically but Culturally as the people lost self-esteem and hope and Politically as the petty Aristocrats of the Country kept deposing Leader after Leader for Centuries.The Political structure of the Country was always shaky even at best but at least nothing else had been harmed.The peasents for the most part were still able to live there lives.But the war torn Economy and Society had finally collapsed with the death of Mircea I and the Rise of his weak Son Vlad II Drakul.Vlad Drakul was a Political Prostitue whom had joined forces with different Leaders much in the same way as the Boyars had.Even with his family his loyalty was shaky as you can tell with what he did with most of his Sons, Vlad the Monk being the only one who truely had not been harmed or affected.And all of this rained down nothing but misery upon Wallachia's people while the Parasetic Aristocracy just fed off of them like leeches taking what little food and possessions they had and making them go from poor to dirt poor in just a few years.It is situations like this when people are so desperate that they will bring a Tyrant to power even knowing what the consequences are just to find a way out of the Hell they are living in.Remember that things like this is what allowed Adolf Hitler to rise in Germany and his Italian counterpart Mussolini in his Nation as well.What led the people to follow Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran and George Bush in America.Allowing them to get away with as many crimes as possible for the promise no matter how distant that one day everything will be allright.Let History remind us always that this is a deadly game and you better be damn sure who it is you follow or believe in because you might not like what they do after they are in a position of Power.The extreme poverty in the Country led to the rise of Crime and with Crime people began to fear for there very lives even just taking an evening stroll at Night for fear of being beaten and robbed.The Production of Agriculture had also fallen because of greedy Boyars misusing resources and because of their neglegence in there own duties,Trade in the Country was almost non-existent except for a few Business transactions they did once in a while to increase there own Wealth and Foreign Traders mainly the Saxons and Turks had also cheated many of the Wallachians out of there own property and money.Although he did bring about change and order to an extent.Make no mistake, he did not bring order in a peaceful way nor did he intend to bring it about 100%.He ruled by fear as well as by loyalty of many of the Peasents.One of his first acts in Power was to replace the Boyars with Peasent Knights appointed by him.With the Boyars Power limited he could become stronger than them.He also attacked the Saxons in Transylvania in order to take away there Economic influence as well.He needed chaos in the Country to a certain extent for the Peasents to be more afraid of losing the Country again then afraid of his Cruel nature.For a time he did in fact make Wallachia a great Country to live in.

But he also used fear to conrol the Peasents with his own Cruel punishments against anyone that he believed was a "sinner" or even a criminal.Although Torture and Executions by Impalement were his very favorite method of Punishment, he did have other punishments he loved to use as well.And for different "crimes".The list of tortures includes: nails driven into people's heads (usually was used on people he believed had offended him for not removing they're hats in his presence,one story claims he did this to two embasadors from another land), cutting off of limbs, blinding, strangulation, burning, cutting off of noses and ears, mutilation of sexual organs (especially in the case of women he thought where sinful), scalping, skinning, exposure to extreme tempertures both hot and cold, being fed alive to wild animals,and boiling alive.They say he learned many of these tortures from the Ottoman Turks which is why his Tortures where usually the most exotic even with the case of impalement which itself was not ordinary impalement.Although he was an Ally of the Pope, informents and others officials of the Vatican were shocked if not disgusted with the things he was doing.The Pope however didnt seem to care and even praised Dracula several times.Here is an official report on what Vlad did but officials of the Pope:
"breaking them under the wheels of carts; others, stripped of their clothes, were skinned alive up to their entrails; others placed on stakes, or roasted on red-hot coals placed under them; others punctured with stakes piercing their head, their navel, breast, and, what is even unworthy of relating, their buttocks and the middle of their entrails, and, emerging from their mouths."

The one good thing about him is that even though he had commited these attrocities he wasnt prejudiced.He killed and Tortured anyone no matter what there age,sex,ethnecity,Religion,Culture,and Social Class was.Even the Rich were the subject of his insane Cruelty and in fact for the most part were his maine targets.Peasents were not as persecuted as much as the Wealthy were because in his point of view they had Obligations and duties that the Peasents did not have which made them more liable to be punished when something went wrong because they were assumed not to have done there jobs well (which was mostly the case).His first Punishments against the Wealthy Elite of Wallachia was done against the Boyars that had caused his family to be driven into Exile in the first place.The story goes that he had invited them all to a grand feast in his Castle for Easter.They were all happy and drinking and eating marily like they usually did at feasts when Vlad suddenly asked them all how many Princes had they all seen reign during there life times.Not so shockingly they had all outlived every single ruler they had seen.Not one of them had seen less than 7 different Reigns under different Princes from both sides.The youngest one had seen 7 and the oldest of the Boyars had seen at least 30 different rulers hold the throne in his own life time.At the moment it is said that Vlad had them all arrested, 2 stories arise 1) Saying that he accused them of being the reason why the Country was so unstable (which is true) and 2)Simply that he had them arrested right away without saying a word once they had all told him how many reigns they had seen.He had almost every Boyar taken to the out skirts of the City and Impaled right there.

That is the inspiration for the famous Picture in Woodcuts Art above showing him feasting while among a gruesome forrest of Impaled bodies.A few of the much younger Boyars were enslaved instead and they and there entire families were taken north from Targovişte to the ruins of Poienari Castle in the mountains above the river Argeş.This 50 mile walk was enough to tire anyone and many died of exhusation during the walk, and those who survived were not allowed to rest until they reached the destination.There,they were forced to re-build his ruined Castle until they became so sweaty that they're cloths slid off there bodies and they had to do this with little or no breaks or food or sleep and even naked when the cloths slid off from the sweat.Almost all of them died of exhusation but a few did survive and were allowed to live and retain there positions but with a warning never to betray or anger Prince Dracula again.In one legend it says that when he witnessed the Torture/Execution of the Older Boyars that were impaled, he had bread and a bowl and had the Executioner there pour their Blood in it for him to dip in bread and eat while he saw his Executioner chopping up there bodies in front of him.A sight that would have made any normal man vomit in disgust.But Vlad Tepes was anything but a normal man.He was a Monster in the truest definition of the word.However many people have speculated as to if the man really did eat and drink the Blood of the Boyars that day.Many believe it was a rumour spread by his enemies.Of course knowing his violent and warped nature I wouldnt doubt it.Not to mention that perhaps part of this was his way of scaring the Peasents and others into fearing him with the old Vampire Legends in the Country so maybe he drank blood not out of desire but to scare people into believing that he was some kind of Demon from Hell.Of course many believe he was a real Vampire because rumours from among the Peasents had spread that he had made a pact with the Devil himself for the Power to regain his thrown.But all of this is Superstition and can not be varified by historical facts.But if that were the case one would see why he was such a Powerful Vampire in both Legends and in the Fiction of Bram Stoker.A person who makes a pact with the Dark Side to become a Demon and achieved some kind of Power is usually a lot more Powerful then someone who tried to do so on there own through the use of Dark Sorcery or even from a bite or infection by one of these creatures.Others who believe that Dracula is still alive today even doubt that he can actually be killed at all.And that he could only be imprisoned or binded with Magic but not truely destroyed.But again, no evidence to back up either theories or beliefs,just the Superstitions and Folklores.His reasons for punishing people included :Women who lost there Virginity without being married,un-faithful wives,and also Widows or other Men/Women that had sex outside of marriage in general usually had there Sexual organs cut out or Breasts cut off.In one story it said a woman that was un-faithful was impaled and skinned alive and her skin was next to her impaled corpse on a table.


Vlad also hated criminals and this meant everything from the common thief to the Rich and Powerful that stole from the poor.He also impaled them for this.Some stories claim he believed that the poor were thieves by nature or lazy and that they were a waste of breath on this earth.So he invited them all to a feast and had them locked inside the building where the feast was held and set on fire with them inside.However this may or may not have been true because Vlad depended more on the common peasents then on the Aristocrats and doing such a thing possibly could have cost him his throne.So I'm not sure whether or not that story was true.But he saved his worst cruelties for his enemies.As you shall soon see..........

Wars and Struggles

A new War was about to break out in the 1450's to 60's Vlad had decided to stop paying the tributes in 1459 that were required of Wallachia for the original peace treaty and joined forces with King Matthias Corvinus of Hungry the following year.The reason he choose to do this is believed to be out of respect for his former Mentor because King Corvinus was actually the son of John Hunyadi.Hunyadi's Mother married Emperor Sigismund, creator of the Order of the Dragon and claimed that Hunyadi was his illigetimate Son.Some however believe this may have been a lie and that Sigismund had loved Hunyadi like his own son so much that he made the story up so that he or at least his children could enjoy the Power and Privaliages of the Royal Crown.So with the Death of the former Emperor, Matthias Corvinus ascended to the Throne in Hungry while another relative of Sigismund became the next ruler of Hungry.


King Matthias Corvinus
It is not known whether or not he was a member of the Order like his Father and perhaps grandfather (if Hunyadi was the Emperor's son after all) before him, but Vlad Dracula didnt seem to care.He more then likely did it as a way of repaying his dead Mentor for his help and friendship years before.This pissed off the Ottoman Empire very much and so the old conflict was re-born again as the Warrior Sultan Mehmed II declared War on Vlad, and of course with Radu's support and help all the way.The Ottoman's tried to do the same thing that the U.S. tried in the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion against Castro,like that Invasion Centuries later,this one led by Mehmed was of a Powerful Empire against a smaller Nation.But like the bay of Pigs invasion it was the Smaller Nation that won the War in the end and in the Winter of 1461 and 62 Vlad the Impaler crossed the Danube river into Enemy Territory and all but totally destroyed the Lands between Serbia and the Black Sea.In all it is believed he killed off over 20,000.In his Anger, Mehmed who had just finished Conquering Constantinople


Mehmed in Constantinople where he had ravaged the city
had decided to form another Campeign and Conquer Wallachia once and for all.He created an Army of both Regular Soldiers and Civilians that had been drafted to make the already Powerful Army even more Powerful than before into a Military Force made up of 60,000 of his regular trained and Armed Soldiers to the 30,000 newly drafted Soldiers he had recruited.He was confident and Smug that no one would be able to stand up to him, but he was wrong.Dracula was no fool,he knew in a regular Conventional war he could not defeat an Army that outnumbered his own a Thousand to one.So he switched tactics and began using Guerrilla Warfare and split up his armies into small bands much the same way his Peasent Rebels had done years before and used the same hit and run strikes to attack the larger army and disable it while retreating afterwords into the Wilderness where they built secret hiding places they used as bases for attacking and regrouping that the invading army could not find.But he also did other things which depending on your point of view were extremely careless and uncaring of him or necessary to oust the Turks.For example,He burned his own villages and poisoned the wells along the way, so that the Turkish army would not be able to eat or drink and would be forced to temporarily retreat and then return with supplies giving Dracula more time to regroup and re-arm for the Conflicts.The most famous of these guerrilla strikes was when Vlad and a small group of his followers got inside the Turkish camp where Mehmed II was residing in,dressed in Ottoman Soldier Uniforms and tried to kill the Sultan themselves.But it went wrong because they got confused and found the Tents of the Grand Viziers and not Mehmed.Vlad and his people had a special escape plan in the event that his plan would fail and they escaped and were never found.The Ottoman Sultan realized that the longer the Occupation lasted,the more Vlad's Resistence Army and Royal Army would be able to wipe out his Soldiers one by one and his men could do nothing to stop him because Vlad was too good at hiding to be found.So their logical course of action was to leave the Nation with Radu in Power as the new Prince hoping that the people would feel better under the rule of one of there own rather than a foreign Occupation.Something which looking back at it now and probebly even then, was laughed at because Radu had assimilated so much into Ottoman Culture that he no longer looked like a true Wallachian.And since Europeans and especially at that day and age were extremely Nationalistic, having a so-called "national" Ruler who didnt act like one or think in the Country's true interest didnt strike such a nice cord with the people.The fact that he had converted to Islam and forced everyone in the Nation to convert or be Enslaved when most people where Orthodox didnt make it any easier too.He attacked Dracula's main Castle at Poienari in 1462 which the Enslaved Boyars helped to rebuild,and after killing any loyal servants of his Brother, Radu the Handsome became Voivode of Wallachia.But his rule wasnt permanent.
