An Essay On The
Origin Of Populist Kings

The Clock IS Turning Back
The stateless society on the Eurasian continent was in prehistoric times as apolitical as only a stateless society can get. It was a community of Populists, which is to say, of a People in their own care. Theirs was a regime of Nature, and the People understood themselves to be in the employ of Nature to the end of sustaining themselves. There was no God, but Life. There was no Afterlife, but Life held sacred in the Now by a People in the Now. The Past was of an experiential memory, which is why epics were remembered verbatim. The Future was Zero; it was not, because cities were not.
There were no hunters-killers, but herders-gatherers. There was no commandment “Thou shalt not kill”, because until the arrival of Cain (arguably the second, not the first born of Adam and Eve) the agriculturalist, no one killed. It was unthinkable that one would kill the Now or in the Now. The worse sin of Cain was not that he killed Abel (which could be by accident), but that he also killed Abel’s flocks, a fact that goes unmentioned by our murderous civilization (of a never tomorrow) which Cain brought into being.
The stateless People were neither ‘worker bees’ or ‘wage earners’. Work does not make People ‘free’, rather it enslaves them. There was no King or Senate over the people of Eurasia. There were no authoritarian or democratic structures that determined their future. There were no ‘Jäger‘ (yaeger=German for hunter) who kept order over the taiga and killed wild pigs to feed a bastard king’s army. The Taiga was a sovereign country that was synonymous with Nature. It’s sovereignty was absolute. It was what the Bible calls the Garden of Eden. At the time of human origins, our Mother was Nature and our Father was God, the knowledge of Whom was born of Nature.
Then something—ultimately unavoidable—happened; something no mother or father can prevent. Maybe it was the eruption of a supervolcano. The ‘happening’ chases the People from the Garden of Eden. Like President Jack Kennedy’s death, the asassination is kept secret, because it predicts an assassin in charge of tomorrow. But then another near miracle happens: Jack’s missing brain grows back (if not for Jack, then for the People) = America awakens from its satiated slumber. California becomes an offshore island, and Catalonia, Occitania rise from ashes. At least we this could happen.
In the Bible (one of the most redacted books ever) God discovers Adam and Eve in the act of sin. The sin consists of Eve giving Adam an apple, which is handed her by a serpent. By eating the apple Adam and Eve come to consciousness. God drives the pair from the Primal Garden because it has become conscious of being naked, which God deems a sin. On the face of it, God acts as a stupid authoritarian and a Creator of a future for bozos.
In a previous book (“How They Shut Down Populist Latvians”) this author argued that the concept of God arises only when Adam and/or Eve became the People’s rulers out of the People’s need for a healer. The need for a Healer greatly increases after the People are driven from the wood and are herded into forts that became castles that became cities. Cities create futures that Nature needs not. The need for healing and protection, increases even more due to the fact that a centralized place became a kind o Fort Knox of wealth and increases the potential for corruption. It is out of corruption that Goddess or God the Healer became Warlords (Athena and/or Thor). As a general once put it: “War is a racket.”
While Adam has no powers as a Healer, he gains it from his mother Baba Taiga, by the fact that She eats the red capped mushroom. While the mushroom will make one dizzy, which is why most people fear it, it will also induce dreams and visions. It is such visions that enable Baba to perceive what ails those who come to her for help. In an emergency (such as an attack by marauders) the charisma of Baba Yaga, who may not have the physical strength required to deal with the attackers, passes to her son by association. In effect, the apple is the charismatic object (the Sceptre) of authority that Eve passes either to Adam or Abel.
Unfortunately, those who wrote the Bible already had a God and a concept about His role in the making of humankind. There is no mention that the Great Mother comes before God. In effect, history is already being rewritten. It appears that the writers of the Bible were obsessed with human sexuality. Apparently, the writers of the Bible lived in forts and cities, where sexuality no longer served the purpose of attracting men and women to each other for the purpose of birthing children, but was exploited by the lords and rich merchants as an alleviator of city borne boredom. For the idle, sex—this side of gonorrhea and syphilis—was like medicine.
At the time of the writing of the Bible the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah had already been built. Thus, God may not have had anything to do with driving Adam and Eve out of Nature. Rather, the events that forced human beings to leave the taiga evolved from unanticipated consequences once the village in the forest reach a certain density and a warlord takes advantage of the this. For one, the Sacrificial King, the God of the dwellers in the wood, when brought to the city transformed Himself into a moral God. God was recreated by those living in the city into an image that He did not have when He was living in the wood, where morality was taken for granted. He Who drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (and Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah) had been transformed by city dwellers into a moralist. This raises the question: Whydoes a moralist God throw stones at the likes of Adam and Eve, not the likes of Cain?
In the beginning the connection between the Garden of Eden and Sodom and Gomorrah was only dimly perceived. Because complexity of thought develops only through words and human reflection upon their meaning, it is likely that up to the holocaust of the cities there had not occurred an event that could be called ‘a catastrophe’ great enough to compare with the catastrophic event that caused the expulsion of human beings (by human beings) from Nature. In this author’s opinion the deciding ‘event’ was the Great Fire of Sodom and Gomorrah. This event was more than likely the unmentioned Great Fire of Jerusalem, Jerusalem being the deliberately corrupted city from which evolved all cities of sin.
As Jerusalem turned into a whorehouse, Baba Yaga was turned into a witch who rides the broom. Her Son Ivashka, aka Jeshua or John, is teased by Salome with the Dance of the Seven Veils and is decapitated for lecturing King Herod about about the undesirability of indulging in rape and fornication. Those who rewrote the story and replaced the name of John the Baptist with the name of Jesus, took the trouble to reimagine Salome as a woman caught in adultery, whom Jesus heals and who Jesus tells: “Sin no more”. Like it or not, the ‘facts’ of the story are changed: when John becomes Jesus, he forgives his decapitators. We are reminded of the occasion when Jesus, nailed to the Cross, tells God: “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they do.” (Luke23:34)
Why is the Populist King and God turned into an impotent victim? Did He not—to appease the potential wrath of the Populist People of the city— once upon a time sacrifice his life for them? Was not Cain ‘marked’ so that anyone who saw the mark could spit on him and take from him his life—just as Cain had taken life from Abel and the forest?
Why should anyone propose that God grew fearfulf for Cain’s life? Is it not the Lords of cities who are the fearful ones? Is it not the resurrection of Nature and their impotence they fear?
The fact that the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2-3) and Lot fleeing with his wife and daughters from Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) are stories found in the the same book is not an accident. In either instance sexuality is born of the city and has become a problem. In both instances sexuality has lost its primary procreational function and has become sensuality for its own sake.
