Eso’s Chronicles 221 / 7
A Waterless Flood I (7)
© Eso A.B.
 

The title of this blog comes from Margaret Atwood’s novel called “MaddAddam”, a story of global disaster in the near future http://www.truthdig.com/arts_culture/item/maddaddam_20130920.

Though I have not read the novel, which on other occasions would disqualify me from making further comments, for all that this is not unusual. This is not the first time that I have met up with the problem, when a sidebar tells the reader “to see long excerpts from “MaddAddam” at Google Books, click here” ; but when I click here all I get is a short bio of the author and no ‘long excerpt’.

In short, the reader is left with this blogger’s own version of ‘a waterless flood’—words ad infinitum.

‘A Waterless Flood’  is a reference within Atwood’s book, offered to us through its reviewer, Michael Dirda, to one “… Adam One, who has long foretold the coming of a Waterless Flood that will cleanse the sordid and polluted Earth...”, (www.truthdig.com).

In any event, to return to the theme of the preceding blog: Zbigniew Brzezinski’s geopolitics as expressed in his book “The Grand Chessboard”, which example I was using to facilitate a discussion of the future of Russia.

What complicates the situation for Russia is less American geopolitical ambition, but a reawakened China making claim on the natural resources of Eurasian territories such as Kazakhstan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China%E2%80%93Kazakhstan_relations formerly subordinated to the Soviet Union. China is also said to want to lease some 6% of Ukrainian soil to grow harvests for itself. What makes China’s claim not only potentially violent, but also Revolutionary is Brzezinski’s attempts to reduce Russia and China vis-à-vis the U.S.A.—to ‘regional’ powers; which neither of them intends to be reduced to.

Interestingly, in the long term, protesting their status as ‘regional’ powers, causes the interests of Russia and China coincide. If they enter into a conflict with each other, they act in the interest of the U.S. and its European allies (military and corporate). The Revolutionary potential in the conflict of interests is for Europe, Russia, and China to radically change their geopolitical perspective (Europe, after all, too, is no more than a ‘regional’ power from Brzezinski’s perspective), and work toward integration of their political entities into a vast new geopolitical landmass called Eu-Ru-Chi http://www.livescience.com/18387-future-earth-supercontinent-amasia.html . This makes vastly better sense than a bank led geopolitical structure such as TAFTA http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-us-eu-transatlantic-free-trade-agreement-tafta-big-business-corporate-power-grab/5352885 currently in the making.

Impossible as integration of Europe and Asia may seem, it is not an impossibility.  The real obstacle to it is the imbalance of populations, the Chinese population being some six times larger than that of Russia. However, this problem can be overcome is Russia sees a way to integrate with the nations of Europe.

There may be no way around such an integration because the U.S. has military superiority many times over the military power of Russia and China combined and is implementing a strategy of surrounding Ru-Chi with military bases and missiles capable of delivering nuclear explosives. To short-circuit the military threat, Ru-Chi need to discover other means of undermining American and European military strategy. One such way is to reexamine the historical chronology concocted by both these ‘false flag’ powers. This brings us back to the Russian mathematician and historian Anatoly Fomenko http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0U7OUULZs4 .

Of course, I am not saying that the claims by Fomenko do not need to be further examined. Nevertheless, Fomenko’s research leaves little doubt that the chronology of history as presented to us by the academies of the West need reanalysis, which is likely to bring about a historical scandal, a reset of chronology, and a likely rearrangement of sequence of events.

If as this writer suspects, the chronology of history is closer to Fomenko’s proposals than that of the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and the Catholic Church,  the nationalisms brought into being by Enlightenment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Enlightenment (an unwelcome and unintended consequence) and communal loyalties centered on language, may be replaced by loyalties to the the organic environment, which is in a state of collapse at this time.

Eso’s Chronicles 220 / 6
Comeuppance! (6)
© Eso A.B.

While resistance to Christianity borne of (or  begot by) capitalism is as old as neo-Christianity itself, it almost ceased during the 20^th century, when (paradoxically) many rebellious authors produced a number of books that hinted that the history of Christianity as presented in Western Universities was not quite up to standards and, thus, not quite up to correct answers.

This writer was among the avid readers of these books, beginning with Albert Schweitzer’s “The Quest of the Historical Jesus” and the more recent by Bart Ehrman, “Lost Christianities”.

What is wrong with most accounts about Jesus is that ll follow the same chronological outline as presented by the Catholic Church, which to this day claims to be the Mother of all Christian orientations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Church .

Among the first challenges to affect the Catholic origins theory is the Russian mathematician turned historian Anatoly Fomenko. Though not the very first critic (Isaac Newton—17^th cen.—was earlier), Fomenko’s criticism is well researched and lengthy. He is one of the latest doubters of the veracity of history as presented by the academicians of the West, who indeed never outgrew Catholic scholasticism and to this day mirror its prejudices. Though academicians haughtily ignore Fomenko (because as a Russian he is believed to think in reverse gear), refusing to listen to him evidences arrogance and colonialist chutzpah that has not yet been outgrown.  Like it or not, Fomenko has shaken the West’s identity and its version of history.

I presented a brief summary of how we arrived to the false flags that fly over Western government buildings today. A couple of blogs back (218), I wrote how the Franks (some will say it was the Goths) turned themselves into the French, took control of the West and then turned on the East whence they had come. [Nevertheless, some claim they came from the north and across the Baltic Sea and were known as Scandze—instead of Vikings.) The real story, as it has imprinted itself in this writer’s mind, went something like this:

After being chased from Byzantium by the Turks and settling in Europe in an area now known as the Benelux countries, the Franks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br_70Kbdpow , in order to set themselves apart from the Christians in the East, set about creating a new Christianity. To this day every European is taught to know these Eastern Franks as the founders of the Holy Roman Empire, a realm never yet real, but continuing to exist in the fantasy of European politicians as the European Union. That is to say, the Crusades, begun by the French, as confirmed by the President of the U.S., George Bush, will go on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br_70Kbdpow .

Following the dictates of Western educational institutions, the common belief is that the Holy Empire was founded by a Pope in Rome. But the real history is that there never was a ‘Western’ Holy Roman Empire, and even the idea of it was stolen from the actual Holy Roman Empire in the East, with its headquarters, at first, in Alexandria (remember the Coptic Church?), Egypt, moving on to Constantinople, Byzantine, when a Byzantine (true Roman) ‘Caesar’ met Phara-jones Cleopatra and took her on a Med cruise to better bed her. The transfer of the ancient capital cities from the South to the North Mediterranean began with a dalliance.

While the dalliance between Alexandria and Byzantium makes sense, the Holywood concoction of dalliance between Rome, Italy, and Egypt does not make sense, because according to Fomenko (at least) Western Rome never got going until the 15^th century of the Western Era.

Because Fomenko is no lightweight historian, but a member of the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, I suggest that the Russian government (with international assistance from China, India, Iran, and others with a stake in the truth) support and finance renewed research of the chronology of history. Whether led by Fomenko or another scholar, it is time that the comedy we are presented with does not turn into a greater tragedy than it already has brought. We need to discover either the true chronology of our history or learn to live with history as an uncertainty, in knowledge that our cynicism is not of our making, but a mark of Cain stamped on our foreheads by our governments. The West is in profound need to reexamine its past, its claims of achievement, and presumption to determine our planet’s future.

A reexamination is important because the current version of history is used by the West as a political tool. Its claim insists not only on the right to the territories the West occupies (and expands on yet again at the expense of the East), but also declares the West to possess ‘the right’ kind of character suitable to possess our planet. On the basis of these claims, the West has not shirked to employ ‘terrorists’ to capitalist ends. Having despoiled its own spiritual heritage, the West today has turned to despoiling Islam by taking advantage of the jealousies of Muslims, who are unable to deal the West a deserved comeuppance.

The corner the East is backed in today is a consequence of the False Flag history presented by the ruthlessness of the liberal West, even as it imitated the ruthlessness of one Emperor Alexis I, who destroyed Eastern Christianity with one push that cost its spiritual leader his life. That push is a story all by itself, now well camouflaged behind the Aztec story of Nanauatzin’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanahuatzin (image: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8214/8343920314_90031212ec_z.jpg ) heroic leap into a fiery pit at the sacred city of Tenochtitlan in Mexico. This story cannot be found in historical accounts in the East or West, but Book 7 of the Florentine Codex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florentine_Codex  recorded by Bernardino de Sahagun a Franciscan monk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardino_de_Sahag%C3%BAn . Sensational, as such a replacement of a historical event in EuroAsia of the East may be, it is unlikely that it is mere happenstance that Sahagun was a Franciscan monk and the place to tell the truth happens is transferred to a newly discovered continent. What Sahagun reflects is an event in Constantinople affecting the Bogomils several centuries before the defeat and neo-Christianization of the Mexican people http://www.cathar.info/121212_comnena.htm .

Such juxtapositions of events is an ‘old’ tool employed by schemers sequestered in ‘think tanks’ in the West, and is employed to this day, because Common Man simply cannot imagine such dishonesty as the basis of history.

The reason the East has come to a desperate situation is that up to this time, there always was another step and a space to retreat to. This allowed the West to expand not only as colonizer of Eastern territories, but when colonization as such stopped, was able continue to short circuit economic exploitation by means of technology over Nature, not to mention make the Vatican a dictator over the chronology of history. Strange as it may seem, a major tool in the hands of the West is an ‘Early Christianity’, which  today we know as Islam, and which almost no one believes has its origins in Christianity. Today, the closest we get is as at the following link, re: encounter of eastern Christianity with early islam:  http://www.brill.com/encounter-eastern-christianity-early-islam .

For the cultures of the East (that of Russia, China, Iran, India) to regain their ground vis a vis the West and to neuter the ‘terrorists’, these have to respond to Western cynicism less with arms than with reeducation undermining of its intellectual presumptions.

Victory of Violence (4)
© Eso A.B.

To illustrate the difficult task ahead of the Russian President Putin, we need only to take another quote from Zbigniev Brezinski’s pretentious “The Grand Chessboard” by going to Chapter 4, which titled: “The Black Hole”, and read the last sentence from the 2^nd paragraph: “…the long-range task remains how to encourage Russia’s democratic transformation and economic recovery while avoiding the reemergence of a Eurasian empire that could obstruct the American geostrategic goal of shaping a larger Euro-Atlantic system to which Russia can then be stably and safely related.”

Such Zionist chutzpah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chutzpah is supposed to serve America’s interests!? What savage 20^th century lack of historical perspective, either regarding former times or simply as an affront to anyone who is not ‘born’ to long outlived Szlachta bombast. We ought to remember here that Bismarck of Prussia was not a little influenced by it, because he lived right next the Poland and Lithuania. President Putin, too, must feel encouraged when reading such stuff.

One would think Putin is encouraged to plan for America (its geostrategic goals are rarely formulated by itself, but, instead, by those like Brezinski, whose abject Capitalist materialism encourages him to worm-up to the heart of the Capitalist economic system) their comeuppance a la Jacobin style. It will come in handy to remember that it was Napoleon who not only won the military battles being lost by the French Revolutionists, but went on and made his own effort to subject Russia under French rule and suffered a renowned defeat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzyH-1p9nAg .

As Ukraine (come under the influence of American ‘exceptionalism’) continues to press for closer ties with the EU by joining in a free trade zone with it http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/18/us-ukraine-eu-azarov-idUSBRE98H0HX20130918 , it will be interesting to see how Russia reacts to the NATO military maneuvers come November in Latvia, Eastern Europe http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/09/19/324761/nato-plans-maneuver-in-russian-backyard/ .

When I use the words “Jacobin style” (well known for its excesses), what I have in mind are the negative consequences that devolved from the Jacobin attempt to create a ‘Republic of virtue’, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Virtue . In this instance the proponent of such a republic of virtue is not Russia, but the government of the U.S., which claims to be operating under the privileges of ‘exceptionalism’, which ‘exceptionalism’ caused Brezinski to make his extraordinary statement with regard to Russia and the Ukraine.

Me thinks, President Putin’s speech at Valdai is a response. As I have pointed out in numerous blogs before, the history of Russia definitely touches on that of the Byzantine Empire. Putin’s statement that:
“Our entire, uncensored history must be a part of Russian identity” hints that what we today know as the Ukraine was once part of that ancient Empire and is open to scrutiny. Of course, the Russian Orthodox Church, heir to early or Arch-Christianity, having once been forced by the Crusading French (or their predecessors the Franks) to accept Western dogma may object to opening the books on this unpleasant past. Nevertheless, the Russian Academy of Sciences ought to be willing to lend its talents to the task and reassure the Russian people. After all, a member of that Academy, Anatoly Fomenko, not I is the one who has done such a reanalysis of history, and is unlikely to be opposed to further examination of it.

Given the pressures for Russia to significantly alter its own ‘exceptional’ past once again, even under the threat of another war, this is the time to reanalyze the Western model of history. It appears preposterous for Russia to surrender to American and NATO Jacobinist bluster without a reinvestigation of the premises of Western history.

The danger to the West that such an investigation may bring forth is that it could discover that the entire economic system (Capitalism) of the West is a fraud perpetrated on the psyche of humanity by an elite committed to violence. While in the early days of Capitalism the elite was composed largely of lords and princes (gradually infiltrated by the lower echelons of the feudalist order), in our own day—in the words of a famous military leader of the West, General Dwight Eisenhower—“the military-industrial complex” has seized control of the entire society http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y06NSBBRtY . While at that time the major opponent to this economic system was the Soviet Union, the real enemy was (when listening to the speeches in retrospect) the West itself. It is shocking to hear in Eisenhower’s speech on the occasion of the assassination of U.S. President Jack Kennedy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR5m1-5ksj0  . An interpretation of Eisenhower’s words today, re: “…for we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy…” does not lead to an interpretation that it is a conspiracy of enemies from without, but is of enemies within.

Future 101 (2)
© Eso A.B.

I titled the previous blog (215) “P.S. (Post Script) Reversed”. It is, therefore, logical to title this blog (216) “Future 101”. One of the reasons for such a title is that I am perplexed by the ‘future’, over which so many futurologists, among them many architects, are not. If one architect is already planning to build a building 1 kilometer high, there must be others who would build it 2 km high. Not surprisingly, such grandiose scheme is planned for intellectually backward Saudi Arabia.“A Thousand and One Night” may be added “Night 1002”. Perhaps it is a brilliant intellectual move based on a mature perception of 21^st century human achievement.

I trust that Saudi Arabians are not insulted when I describe them as intellectually ‘backward’. Such naming is based on the saw that the ‘rich’ do not necessarily get their riches by being smart. That same statement applies to the U.S., the high schools of which graduate few students with a high achievements in the ‘hard sciences’. This means that the fantasy that emanates from this “most advanced portion of the world”* is likely to be an unreliable. The so-called IQ of Americans is well illustrated by the following questionnaire of whether Kenyan born U.S. President should get the Nobel Peace Prize: : http://www.infowars.com/college-students-say-obama-deserves-peace-prize-cant-say-why/ Here is a picture of where reading scores are going: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user3303/imageroot/2012/09-2/20120924_SAT.png.

What perplexes me about the fantasy of the future is that it goes back to when humans lived largely in the wood and tended reindeer herds. This is not to say that in my mind’s eye I see reindeer, but I do see horses. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that in my childhood in Eastern Europe, horsepower was measured in real horses and motor engines were a scarcity. The latter arrived with a big ‘bang’ that came from metal boxes on top of caterpillar chains armed with big guns http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091024153849/cybernations/images/c/ce/Tank_2.jpg. The unfortunate horses were turned into meat for cat food by statesmen signing papers in offices furnished with polished furniture, leather armchairs and divans, and ashtrays for cigars. 

When power was ‘real’ horsepower there was full employment. While a farm upon the death of its keeper diminished in the number of human beings it could sustain, because it was divided among the keeper’s heirs, during the life of the farmer the fruit of a farm would increase with the number of children his wife bore him. There was a place on the farm for the cowherd, the milkmaids, a smith, a harness maker, a rope maker, a weaver, a carpenter, a shoemaker, not to mention granny or grandpa as local historians. The culture skills that were imbedded in a farm far surpassed the bizarre skills of a museum curator at a rural museum exhibiting the products of horse and buggy days for the local tourist trade. The tourist takes for granted that ten horses have been replaced by motorized plows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTeawfoqZwIdigging up earth with nine knives, and huge combines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uCn5FzoK7Iinstead of humans husking the the corn and other grains with the aid of flails http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flail.

Next to 1 km high apartment and/or business towers in Saudi Arabia, China, too, builds ghost cities today http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-09-21/chinas-ghost-cities-are-multiplyingcomplete with copies of the Eifel tower. Apparently unanticipated by the builders and designers, these empty spaces or deserts know about ‘reality’ more than the Chinese government ‘savants’ who have ordered them built and expect the bureaucratic mindset to be sufficient populate them. At the same time, in India, Africa, South America, and elsewhere such cities are created by slum dwellers http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/images/news/topstories/2013/03/22/li-india-slums-census-04182.jpg. Though slums are populated, these are nests of potential plagues in the near future, in which case they will be quickly deserted and the plague will be carried abroad.
 

In America (the U.S.) cities (such as Detroit) first turn into slums, gradually turn into ‘city wrecks’ populated by ‘nobodies’http://www.theday.com/section/ENT19. A similar phenomenon is happening all over the world. For example, in Riga, Latvia, the Presidential castle recently caught fire (perhaps set deliberately) http://rt.com/files/news/1f/82/20/00/rl-3.jpg. As one Latvian museum director said it: “In the post-Soviet era, Latvia has been struck by public cowardice and indifference. In a building that houses the President and which housed three museums, there ought to have been a security level just about beyond the potential of a catastrophe.”** (my Translation)

The“cowardice and indifference” (as a world-wide political phenomenon) is related to the delusion that industrialization is a ‘miracle’. In Latvia, a country in northeastern Europe, the delusion (a consequence of brainwashing attempts that began many centuries ago) is reflected in the very name of‘bread’, which is called ‘maize’. The name derives from the name for ‘corn’. Corn as the folllowing link http://agron-www.agron.iastate.edu/Courses/agron212/Readings/Corn_history.htminforms, was discovered in Cubaand was first exported to Europe in the 15^thcentury. It likely arrived in Latviaby way of the German barons, the overlords of Latvians. Subsequently, Latvians adopted the word ‘maize’ as their word for ‘bread’. In England, too, ‘corn’ (maize) was adopted as the name for wheat. Contrary to popular delusions that agriculture (and bread) is an ancient product, the name of ‘maize’ gives evidence that the name is of a recent arrival. This is to argue that the ‘natural’ product of Europe as recently as 500 years ago was wood, not corn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture. As the anthropological term“hunter gatherer society” indicates, Europeans (early and more recent--before the industrial revolution) were not preoccupied with agriculture, but with animal herding and root gathering. As the Russian mathematician and historian Anatoly Fomenko shows, the Egyptian agriculturalist [the man behind the ox and plow (incidentally, note that the wedge of the plow is of wood not metal) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Maler_der_Grabkammer_des_Sennudem_001.jpg] is likely a subsistence farmer from the Nile valley in Medieval times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69CJa22vPIA&list=PLF77902C16F221794, rather than a farmer dating to ‘BC’.
 

While some readers may think of my thesis as preposterous, the collapse of the industrial age [evident all about us, except we fail to see the dust for the last of the pulse of the propaganda fuel cells (Al Gore’s is still kicking )] proves it more real than not. Of what importance are resources of ‘energy’ in Russia, the Middle East, and elsewhere, if the resources of Earth have been nearly exhausted and a human population is unsustainable even in the countryside for its deforestation and encroaching arctic weather?

Another battery that is regaining energy by having been put on a hot stove is Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. While Putin gained his experience as a loyal servant to the Soviet Union, a tenet of which was that all human beings were created equal, Putin has today switched his internal beliefs system in favor of Capitalism. This is almost what the Russian ‘Tsar Peter the Great’ did when he forced Russian men to cut their beards and held all of Russia by its heel, whence he could well be described as a contemporary Russian  Jacobin (the name allegedly originating in the from the name—Iacob) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobin. [More about President Putin in next blog.]

POSTSCRIPT 4 / Summary 2
101 The Sail

These blogs tend to be a continuum of an idea or thought, which is why—if you are interested in what you read—you are encouraged to consider reading the previous blog(s) and the blog hereafter. http://esoschronicles.blogspot.com/


Partial entries of my blogs may be found at LatviansOnline + Forum Home + Open Forum –ONLATVIANPOPULISM vs LATVIJASLABEJIE.

The blow-up within the West is the end result of what the former President of the United States, Bush, described as the "crusade" . While for Bush the “crusade” meant war on terrorism, which he claimed was begun on-the-cusp of the 21st century by a Saudi Arabian Muslim prince named Bin Laden, curiously enough, the “crusade” actually began with the so-called Fourth Crusade (according to A. Fomenko actually the First Crusade) of 1204.

The First Crusade followed the death of Jesus, the itinerant story teller, who a decade or two earlier (? 1184) was thrown into a pit of fire (no, he was not crucified; crucifixion is a neo-Christian invention to throw the listener off the scent of what really happened) in Constantinople by Alexis I, a Byzantine king, one of the first such to overturn the sacred nature of his office in order to exploit wealth and power for the sake of—as Taussig tells it about the colonizers—“[the] gratuitous, end in itself”.

As I have often stated in earlier blogs, the chronology of history as presented by the West is unreliable for the reason that is was established as a result of the Council of Trent (1545-1563), which selected one Joseph Justus Scaligeri to set straight a chronology that did not favour the Catholic Church. The Council of Trent was the main event of the Counter Reformation. While Martin Luther, the founder of the Lutheran Church and the Reformation movement hardly sympathized with the Catholic Counter Reformation, the Council’s historical revisionism suited well enough all neo-Christian sects. At the same time, many scholars have questioned the veracity of the chronology, among which doubters were Isaac Newton (1643-1727) and is Anatoly Fomenko (1945- ).

The “crusades” by the West that followed the First Crusade (1204) were the result of the rapid spread (by way of mimesis) of the desire by secular princes to expand their wealth and power. This rise of the importance of power became a scramble. The scramble took place not only among kings and princes, but at the same time involved attempts to discover ways to eliminate the arch-competitor—Constantinople, the seat of arch-Christianity some 900 years ago. This was accomplished by letting Constantinople fall (in 1453) to the Turks.

The First Crusade was made possible by rousing the “Children of Johns” (I prefer to put all arch-Christians under this description, because the name “John” is ubiquitous in all European and many more languages) against those said to have slain Jesus, the Children of Johns believing Jesus to have been one of their own. The outrage of the arch-Christians was then redirected by the secular princes against the Kingdom of Israel, which at that time was not located where a nation called Israel is located in our time, but the Israel of Byzantium as Byzantium was then known among the Children of Johns. Following the plunder of Constantinople (1204) by the West, the Children of Johns were turned against themselves by introducing a new sect, re: Catholics or neo-Christians, who distinguished themselves from arch-Christians (who referred to the Divine by touching the Earth) by claiming—in the beginning almost beyond anyone’s belief—that their “John” was not mortal and lived in Heaven. By 1209, the Western princes had sufficient violent force and could use the written word in a sufficiently sophisticated a manner to confuse the population of Europe (the Children of Johns were largely of an oral tradition) to such a degree that credibility accrued to those who practiced violence, that is, to neo-Christians.

It follows from the above that arch-Europeans and their religion were repressed and the European people were turned against themselves—as they had first been turned against Constantinople. The new world order of secular kings and princes rode on the backs of the European people. The only sect of arch-Christians or Children of Johns who survived was the Jews. The reason the sect was not destroyed has to do with their service to kings and princes—most likely as tax collectors. The ability of the sect to survive against the onslaught of Catholicism attracted to them many Children of Johns making an escape from the Inquisition. Most of this happened post-?1184. Unlike the flight of the Waldensians to Bohemia and the freedoms of the Hussites (15th century and earlier), the flight of the Children of Johns by ritualistic or self-confessional conversion to Judaism remains repressed information.

Let us return to Michael Taussig, our authority on memesis and alterity, and repeat the quote that I already gave in Blog 99. Taussig writes (pgs. 70,71): “As the nature that culture uses to make second nature, mimesis cannot be outside of history, just as history cannot lie outside of the mimetic faculty…. As the nature that culture uses to create second nature, mimesis chaotically jostles for elbow room in this force field of necessary contradiction and illusion, providing the glimpse of the opportunity to dismantle that second nature and reconstruct other worlds—so long as we reach a critical level of understanding of the play of primitivism within the mimetic faculty itself.”

Let us now think of the Latvian Children of Johns back in 1209, when Bishop Albert of Riga in tandem with Pope Innocent III in southern France, Languedoc, and the Albigensian Crusade there, attacked Jersika (a local name for Jerusalem), up river from Riga on the shores of Daugava (Dvina), and put an end to arch-Christianity in the territory that became known as Livonia, and later yet as Latvia.

And now let us think of the anti-Semitism, not admitted to, but lingering on among the materially and educationally repressed Latvians. [For proof of material and educational repression, all one has to do is visit the more popular internet sites for the flavor of their content and take a look at the children’s teeth in the countryside to see the material need.] Even so, I believe that more than half a century after Hitler and the Nazis, the time has come for the “opportunity to dismantle that second nature and reconstruct other worlds”, i.e., an updated mimesis of the Children of Johns of old. It could begin in Latvia.

How is this to be accomplished?

I will quote Taussig once again. In his book "Mimesis and Alterity", the anthropologist and doctor writes (2): “…[Let us] see anew the spell of the natural where the reproduction of life merges with the recapture of the soul”. Nice sentiment, right? Then Taussig tosses us a brick: “But just as we might garner courage to reinvent a new world and live new fictions… so a new devouring force comes at us from another direction, seducing us by playing on our yearning for the true real.”

And what might the “true real” be?

It is fascism, the make-believe of neo-Christianity falling apart, yet held together by the force of violence. And violence—as Latvians of any ethnic origin ought to know—causes long-time terror. The terror lasts not just for one life time, but it lasts for many lifetimes—if possible with but occasional refreshers by way reminders. This is a perfect way to intimidate people and affect their behaviour. The terror of violence seeps into the bones of the violated ones by way of a negative mimesis and represses human nature. The entire world is infected by this mimesis of terror in our day. It is rather disingenuous of academic historians to adhere to the Scaligeri chronology when the chronology of Anatoly Fomenko fits the shoe better. Moreover, government and academia disingenuosity denies the people their right to shed the terrors of violence.

And just how does one shed the terrors of violence and the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) not only of soldiers back from war today, but the population at large, the one that has violence imposed on it for a thousand years?

For the answer, I invite the reader to Blog 1 and the beginning of my long series of blogs under the title “Not-Violent Terror”. However, the little dirty secret (and you may imagine it right after you read this) is “Not-Vote”. The act is not-violent terror. Not-violent terror to whom? Hint: to the enemies of not-voters.
