EC 422/ God’s War

A SELFIE

The tree behind me is a wild apple tree. A metre above ground its streight trunk is 61 cm wide. I guess it grew in this same place in 1729, when my forebears, the Herrnhuters (now the Moravian Church) from Dresden moved to Latvia and discovered and created the Latvian people as a brotherly (friends) congregation. Currently the tree is suffering from gross neglect, its lower branches, due to their great age and weight, have been torn from the trunk by storms and winter snows.
 
The following post from a few years back. It tells of my continuous interest in the altered history of the world. Altering histsory is not only something that is ‘performed’ by the West and world secular powers, but is also the way of the current government of Latvia, which for 24 years (since the renewal of ‘independence’ in 1990) has done its best to ignore the history of the region, which in fact has more in common with Catalonia and Occitania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitania  than Latvia of the 20th or 21st centuries. I maintain that the long eliminated Cathars (Kheceri in Latvian) had established a branch in Livonia of the 12th century. This branch was destroyed by a Crusade led by Catholic bishop Albert from Bremen along with Albigensian Crusade in 1209. Not surprisingly the repression of religion and history in Latvia continues under the catholic theology obsessed Lutheran Church of Latvia. I will devote the next blog to the GREAT REPRESSION of religion by secular governments and their pseudo religious allies that followed the ‘peace’ treaty of Westphalia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia . Incidentally, the reason why Russians began to make pilgrimages to Jerusalem in 1829 is because Napoleon had by that time changed the name of Byzantium to Jerusalem, and removed the city from the the Straight of Bosphorus to Palestine.

Opinion

The following are posts to Truthdig sent in the last few days.

Philip Stephens, Financial Times, January 8 2009: Israel will never turn armed might into strategic security. If need be, it could win a war against all its enemies combined. But if it wants peace it must face the decision it has avoided for 40 years: withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories. Military victories and land grabs are futile. Security will come only with political resolution. ...................................
Stephens fully reflects my opinion. I would only add that Jerusalem, too, must be shared with the Palestinians. However, there stands a huge obstacle in the way of compelling Israel to give in to world opinion. 1) That world opinion is all emotion; 2) both it and its leaders do not know the history of how their world came about.
As most of the posts at this site illustrate, Americans are woefully uninformed about the history of the world. Even if most posters here do not agree with my taking Anatoly Fomenko’s view, one cannot get away with Biblical myth as history. As long as the ladies and gentlemen at this site believe that Biblical myths reflects the history of Israel, they are on the side of Israel.
Yes, I know, the Arabs, and Christian Orthodox, and others have bought into the ecclesiastical chronology of history as set in place by the Catholic Church in the 16th century. All the same, it is impossible for there to be peace until the unstated policies of the West--i.e., to control the economical and political future of our planet--are shown up to be anything but raw power play. That is what the myths support, and therewith MF us.

ALL our foreign politics are geared toward control of the Earth by the West. That is why so few speak up for Gaza or the Palestinians: they fear demolishing a false myth. …………………………………………………………………..
Why are we so indifferent to the death and destruction in Gaza?--The headline question by Robert Sheer.
..............................
Who here addresses the question? I have tried to argue that the answer is to be sought in a false history that is threatened to be revealed if the "real" answer were to be sought. The answer has obviously to do with digging up the real history of the West. That real history involves the West changing history and using the false story as a weapon against the East. The answer is as simple and complicated as that.

Israel currently serves the interests of the West. Gaza is the corner where the Palestinians have been driven into, and when their slaughter calls forth desperate measures as we see Hamas take, we call them barbarians.


Of course, the only real weapon the Palestinians have is non-violent direct resistance by way of self-sacrificial acts in public places. Unfortunately, this tactic due to the zeitgeist of violence was not considered and may be too late now to implement. It takes great courage to do and to organize such a thing. But it ought to be tried nevertheless. It might change the East and give it the moral upper hand again.
………………………………………………..
In previous posts, I suggested that the key to Middle East violence must be looked for in the use the West makes of history as a tool of war. That is to say, the West changes history and then imposes its interpretation on the rest of the world. The West does the same with words. For example:
Yaroslaw = Jerusalem;
Yaro in Russian = the spring;
Slawa in Russian = honor
Thus Yaroslav = Jerusalem = Spring of Honor
Those who are curious might want to use their Search buttons and see why in 1829 so many Russians made pilgrimages to the City of Honor and why before this date no one made pilgrimages to Jerusalem http://www.jpost.com/Features/In-Thespotlight/This-Week-in-History-Napoleon-is-repelled-from-Acre .

EC 399 / God’s War for the 11th Commandment
© Eso A.B.
RECOVERING THE 11TH COMMANDMENT
 
The war of the elites against Byzantium (aka Jerusalem) has its origin in the oppression of the people of the wood with the fur tax. That war proceeded in stages:
 
First, the Viking bandits impose on the people who live along the shores of the great rivers that flow into the Black and Caspian seas the fur tax.
 
Second, the bandits among the Byzantines grow jealous of Viking success, and become the princes and boyars of late Byzantium also.
 
Third, after monopolizing the tax, the marauders announce that it is they who are the government for ages to come (the original Reich of a Thousand Years). The government of the Reich is to be a sovereign entity. It is this entity that raises the polis’ prominence over nature. Eventually (in our day, when the city has exhausted most resources of nature), the government retreats to the castle or fort, which was the original abode of the vikings. It is at this stage that the government declares itself to be the people. This is happening as I write. http://quod.lib.umich.edu/o/ohp/10803281.0001.001/1:11/--impasses-of-the-post-global-theory-in-the-era-of-climate?rgn=div1;view=fulltext .
 
In any case, the government announces the collection of taxes a necessity and indoctrinates the people, aka ludi, that civilization without taxed is not possible. To make the tax more acceptable, government announces socialism as its goal, and begins to dispense government aid to the poor and senior citizens. Compared to expenditures on armaments, such help involves relatively small sums.
 
Fourth, Moses, a leader of the Jews, is captured by the Vikings, and the commandments he has inscribed on clay tablets are destroyed. Instead of the projected 13 commandments (the old calendar, the Moon calendar, measures the year as 13 months) , the new secular government, having instituted itself as de facto God, issues 10 commandments.
 
Fifth, to facilitate the indoctrination of the ludi, the government rewrites the Jewish Pentateuch, which rewrite becomes the New Testament, which accepts taxation as God given.
 
Sixth, governments (there was more than one) corrupt the Jewish people or ludi by bribing and otherwise compromising them in order to have them become tax collectors. This causes a prolonged division and civil war among the People, the Ludi, because some Ludi become wealthy, while the majority remain poor.
 
Seventh, with virtually no opposition to governments that support themselves on the basis of taxation, all governments proceed to try to capture the world for themselves.
 
Eighth, there follows a prolonged period of wars in which various governments battle for the honor of world dominion. The wars are like the stone that the legendary King Cadmus throws between two standing armies said to be like teeth in our mouth. The teeth gradually grind one another into extinction, until only an upper and lower tusk are left.
 
Ninth, the tusks teeth battle with each other, and eventually destroy each other. This becomes known as God’s War to reinstate the 11th commandment.
 
Tenth, after a major conflagration in which most of the human population is killed, the survivors return to live in the wood.
 
Eleventh, a new era and civilization begins.
 
At this very moment, we hear the trumpets of the twins calling us to the last war. Interestingly, the war begins in ancient Byzantium and Israel, the vicinity where the fur tax was first instituted. This is not just coincidence, but proof that myth is as scientific as so-called science.
 
The war coincides with a civil uprising in the empires under the control of both twins: in the U.S. the uprising begins in Ferguson, Missouri, while in Russia it begins in St. Petersburg. As in Ferguson, so in St. Petersburgh, the uprisings are violently repressed—with much loss of life. The rest of the populations begin to realize that the police are there not to enforce order, but to protect the government
 
As the writer of the above blog, Martin Armstrong, states: “The police are being transformed from protecting the public into protecting government from the public.”

Eso’s Chronicles 390
War Against Byzantium
© Eso A.B.
All comments appearing within brackets [ ] are editorial in origin.

How Christ became Anti-Christ

In a system that is consequent to a false flag event, which is the system the world adopted after the destruction of Byzantium in the First (aka the Fourth) Crusade (1204) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Crusade , not only values but symbols for the values became reversed.

This was the time when the well to do separated themselves from the poor, not because of their superior talent as traders, but because of their talent for violence and seizure of power. It is a time when pathology (defined as typical behavior of a disease, i.e., in this case violence against the values of the community) becomes the sign of the ‘man’, who puts the feet of the poor in stocks or kidnaps their children to sell them into slavery if their parents do not meet the tax decreed by the ruling clique.

The original King of the People, known in Byzantium as John Basil (Basil = King), a reflection of whom we see in John the Baptist (a name likely derived from Basil), was known as a leader of a group of forest dwellers who called themselves Bogomils, Lovers of God. John was not crucified or decapitated as the New Testament famously has it, but was unfairly tried as a heretic (opponent of the Emperor Alexius I* take of what religion should be) and thrown into a pit of fire about 1111 AD.

Because at the time most people lived in a forest or near-forest environment and earned their keep as herders of reindeer, the uproar that followed the murder of John reverberated throughout the vast forest kingdoms of then Asia and Europe.

The imposition of yasak, which demanded that humans adapt themselves to violence to all the better slaughter their reindeer herds to pay ever higher taxes, not to mention the word of mouth communication which was subject to all kinds of rumors true and false, brought the ruling elite not just a little fright. As the Vikings had come to Byzantium mostly by way of the river systems which flowed from north to south and were located to the West of the Ural Mountains, the people who lived East of that same mountain range naturally assumed that the evil had its origin in the West.

This fact became confused at a later time with the invasion of Russia by the Mongols http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Europe .

Because of the fog of time and all too many lies over what actually occurred, we cannot be sure today whether the West was attacked by the East because of the imposition of the yasak or the murder of John. However, we may note that the alleged ‘hordes’ are led by the sons of one Ghengis Khan, which name in translation means John the King. This writer’s personal assumption is that the early attacks of the ‘golden horde’ came as a result of the imposition of the yasak.

The trial by Alexis I of John Basil likely came because of the attacks by Genghis Khan and his clans as a reaction to the tax. We may wish to remember that among ancient people there is no such thing as a tax, but in its place a widely recognized system ‘gift’ giving. If my sequencing of the events is correct, this would indicate that Genghis Khan still operated under the system of ‘gifting’ rather than taxation.

In order for this system (the charisma of divinity is its very essence) to work, the leader has to have trust of the people. Such trust can only exist if the leader was a self-sacrificial human Divine (no sacrifice of another involved**). Indeed, such a system is known to have existed among the ancient Turkic tribes, where the ruler was known as a ‘sacred king’. The sacred king delegated his authority to an executive king known as Bey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bey#Turkish_and_Azerbaijani_beys .

The Turkic religious tradition has its origins in ‘tengrism’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tengrism . Indeed, the ceremony of christening [Kırk banyosu (bath of 40] originates with the practicioners of tengrism, which had its origins in the people of the forest of ancient times. Unfortunately, the ceremony of christening, today christens us into a secularized form of Christianity. No wonder our civilization is known, among other things, as a destroyer of the wood and nature.

Twice unfortunate is the fact that with the discovery of taxation through the exercise of violence, the Bey seized power from the sacred king, which is how sacred power became secular. This is also how we came to our present system of governance: faux democracy.

*Dmitri Obolenski, The Bogomils, Cambridge U. Press, 1948, p. 276.
**The ‘human sacrifice’ of a king came about only if the king failed to realize self-sacrifice, the time of it usually agreed upon at the beginning of his rule.

Eso’s Chronicles 236/ 22
Dream-time Long Lost
© Eso A.B.
 

In the preceding blogs I tell how when the West speaks of ‘democratic’ governments it speaks of self=securitizing governments, which means that the Parliaments of these governments stand for self-interest, though they may have some diversity of personal opinion. Since most of these governments are now ready to merge in one or another kind of federated union, it means that the emergent super states are also going to be super-fascist states; re: Super Self-Securitizing Centralized Powers (SSSCP).

As readers know, I trace the beginning of this self-evident catastrophe to the flight of the Goths (formerly Vikings) from the fall of the Byzantine Empire, which they had much to do with screwing up. I hold that before the arrival of these Vandals (but another name for the Varangians and Vikings), the Byzantine Empire existed in a “dream-time”, a time which remains reflected in much neglected fairy-tales.

If anyone cares to note, fairy-tales reflect the life of humankind living deep in the forest ‘dreaming’ of some far off Kingdom where peace and fairness rules. The King of this Dream Land was most likely known by a number of names: Prester John, G(Y)enghis Khan, John The Baptist, or simply John (Yan, Han, Huan, Ian, Ivan, Johann, etc.). It is likely that this King was real, one of the founding priests of a Temple in the Forest.

Since human beings were still used to exercising the liberties offered by the environment of the wood, and, therefore, disobedient to all disciplinary directives from anyone who presumed authority, the authority in order to be obeyed had to prove itself through self-sacrifice. It was the charisma of self-sacrifice to death what impressed the unbelieving men and women of the wood and named the authority, Him-Her, the Thing, das Ding, King or Queen.

As time went by, the Temple grew, developed, and acquired wealth. The latter caused envy among certain men of the wood who may have deemed themselves Cynics or Realists. It was easier and safer to be a Realist to come raid the Temple from far away than one who was living nearby. This is how the first traitors emerged—from afar. When the men who lived in destitution in a land known as Scandinavia heard of this wealth, they went Viking (literally wading) down rivers of Europe East and West, brought ‘dream-time’ to an end, and instituted the secular kingdom. Evidence of this, if we care to look, lies in pieces of half-truths all about.

When the Vikings or Varangians wiked their way during the 8th and 11th centuries to the Black and Caspian seas http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4454202,00.html , and discovered Jerusalem [then Byzantium (tsargrad or koenigsberg)] certain ‘Hans’ or ‘Huns’ (or was it Johns?) attacked the Vikings from the East and forced them to retreat whence they had come. It is then that so-called Goths arrived into the area now known as the Benelux, began to fight among themselves, out of which fights emerged what we today know as the French, the English, and the Germans.

It should not be surprising that the descendants of these Goths-Anglo Saxons remembered the tales of their forebears, and once stabil in their new home land looked for a pretext to return to the southeast of Europe and attack the Huns. By then the Children of the Wood had changed their name from “cross my heart and hope to die”, Johns of the Cross (the cross meant my signature), to the Children of Johns (Yohammads). Contrary to the Catholic Church, founded by the Goths as an alternative to the religion of the East, which claims history to begin with the birth of Jesus some two thousand years ago, the actual history begins with the sacrifice of a Jesus like being, probably a version of Prester John, John the Baptist, or Ghegis Khan about the time of 11th or 12th centuries. If anyone wishes to discover more on the matter, I recommend Anatoly Fomenko’s, “History: Fact or Fiction”, 2nd  vol. In other words, the Crusades began with the attempt by the French to return to Byzantium.

Today, the French, just like the Jews, are a mirror image of their former Viking and destitute selves. Let us remember Jehanne D’Ark or la Pucelle, who saved the craven secularists in the 15th century by her self-sacrifice. Today, knowing that their nation is about to be submerged into a centralized state known as the European Union, all three nations that emerged from the Vikings are desperately looking for a way out. The French, finding themselves geographically and economically in a vulnerable position, are—like the Brits and Germans—looking for a way to escape this fate. The French, in the personage of their socialist Prime Minister Hollande http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.558565 are willing to risk WW3 to save France as a nation, while Israel and Saudi Arabia are making plans of their own to attack Syria http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4454202,00.html

Regarding the domestic troubles of the French, the following link is enlightening: http://www.testosteronepit.com/home/2013/11/22/the-most-despised-tax-and-retreat-french-president-sinks-dee.html

The cycle of history--fictional history by the way--is about to repeat itself. If Jesus was crucified in 1083 or 1183, as per Anatoly Fomenko, and the First Crusade was the one that began in 1204 and ended with the sacking of Constantinople (then Jerusalem), then the French Prime Minister is fishing for another blood bath today.

Eso’s Chronicles 225 / 11
False Flag of NATO
© Eso A.B.

If anyone wishes to know what is wrong with our planet, the answer is that the human race which Earth has borne is psychologically sick. It no longer has a government that can hold a community together for a length of time.

There are a many examples of this psychological sickness. Some of its consequences: the nuclear bomb and its ‘harmless’ everyday expression, through nuclear power, which from Fukushima is spreading the radiation disease to all the life forms inhabiting and all the countries surrounding the Pacific ocean.

As far as government ‘protection’ is concerned, it is little more than a repetition of the insulting demand for our forebears to have ‘faith’ in the teachings of the monks from Frankland. Today those same monks have ‘progressed’ to ‘soldiers’ who insist that the ‘doctrine’ of ‘militarism’ be believed as faithfully as the Christian dogma of immortality. The headquarters of their organization, called NATO, remains located at its point of origin, the centre of Benelux countries, namely Brussels, and its leader is a former right wing Danish prime minister http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Fogh_Rasmussen .

The country of my origin, Latvia, is a member and fervent supporter of the NATO’s false flag. While Latvia is too poor to contribute the suggested 2% of GDP to armament in financial terms, it has agreed to extend the service of its soldiers in Afghanistan, while every other country is hastily withdrawing from this ill begotten war more than a decade old. I will not be surprised if the ill informed Latvian society soon hears the number of casualties among its soldiers sharply increasing.

As explained in many other blogs, I am a believer that the story of Jesus Christ was ghosted by the Franks, when they were forced to depart the Empire of Byzantium. The departure was due to a combination of two forces: 1) the invading Turkish tribes from the East were stronger than the divided community, and 2) the community was divided as a result of the murder by Isha, the executive king of Byzantium, of Khan, the sacred king.


“Both Mongols and Jurchens used the title Khan [or Cha-gan] for the leaders of a political entity, whether "emperor" or "chief". A particularly powerful chief was called beile ("prince, nobleman"), corresponding with the Mongolian beki and Turkish beg or bey.” [Undoubtedly, the Latvian word ‘bahlelyn’ is a derivative of ’bey’. It is not inconceiveable that the word ‘beggar’ derives from when some Ottoman prince was forced to crawl before a Christian king if he wished to save his neck.]

The word Jesus-Iesu may derive from Yishiha  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yishiha , who was a famous and powerful prince-eunuch.

These two individuals, beg and ishi, formed what is one of the oldest systems of government—a Diarchy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diarchy. The system still finds uses in our own day; see link under Canada and Northern Ireland.

It is my argument that governance of communities was seriously disturbed when one of the Diarchs, most likely Ishi was killed by Khan. The shock experienced by the governed is revealed by the fact that Khan or Cha-gan, the killer, exchanged his title for that of Ishi or Iesu. It is not that Khan was inherently a different kind of human being, but by killing Ishi, he killed the sacrificial king, the eunuch-prince, thus guaranteeing that the rulers ruled in the name of equality for all of the community.

The psychological necessity of equality, when denied, is the cause that moves humankind toward self-destruction. Without a check on him by Ishi, the Khan, King, or Yan no longer functions, and is given to ‘liberalism’ and ‘democracy’, which when institutionalized, become guarantors of chaotic governance and the elevation of capitalism to be the governing economic system. The ‘Industrial Age’ is a capitalist invention and the reason planet Earth is experiencing an environmental catastrophe and collapse of society.

A thousand years or more have passed since the death and removal of Ishi-Iesu. In these thousand years, the Khans have managed to instill in humankind an absolute fear of death, which turns death into an evil. The Khans did this by teaching humans that Ishi rose from the dead and they were born to be immortal. Only in our time do we see a reintroduction by way of quantum mechanics, the existence of parallel universes, that human beings to believe that at after their death they do not go to either hell or heaven, but cross over to what Latvians used to call: ‘The Other Sun’ (viņu Sauli).

The effort to return to a Diarchal system of government is necessarily difficult and bloody. The only politicians who have attempted it are today known as ‘communists’ (meaning: absolute egalitarians). As a result of their bloody takeovers of government, communists are almost universally condemned and belittled. Still, I would suggest that the reason for holding communism in contempt is because ‘communist’ leaders such as Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, and Pol Pot failed to end their carriers with self-sacrificial death.

The failure of the Liberal system of government (the death of death) continues to manifest itself in innumerable ‘false flags’, generally manifest as catastrophic events which are created because of the disparity of wealth between the ruling parties and their supporters (a minority of 0.1%) vs the general public (the majority). Often these false flags are discovered for what they are only years later. The slaughter in the Katyn Wood http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24605103 , in which thousands of Polish officers and other high officials were shot by the Stalin regime, has not been openly acknowledged by the Russian government to this day. Likewise, the American government refuses to have an investigation of ‘the 9/11 incident’ in New York City.

While the False Flag, known as The New Testament, was likely written by the Franks after they had moved from the vicinity of Byzantium to that of Brussels, this flag, too, has never been acknowledged, yet continues to threaten and kill people to this day. The latest instances are the aggressive moves by NATO in the Middle East, emphatically supported  by the French (formerly Franks), the British, and Germans—all descendants of the Goths (perhaps Vikings before the renaming) who removed themselves from Byzantium.

Eso’s Chronicles 214/ 6  
St. Francis’  Prayer for.. (6)
© Eso A.B.

..WAR. Who is St. Francis? At the present he is Pope Francis , the first Pope in a long time who has exhibited activity as envisioned by the original Christians. The Pope did this when he recently asked Christians of whom he presumes himself to be the leader to fast for peace to avert an attack by the West on Syria by America and its violent proxy Al-Qaida.

There is a contradiction in Pope Francis’ mission. While today St. Francis is held to be a patron of ecology, the Pope himself is a Jesuit, of a militant, not to say a military order (‘soldiers of God’). Rule 13 of Ignatius Loyola's Rules for Thinking with the Church said: "That we may be altogether of the same mind and in conformity [...], if [the Church] shall have defined anything to be black which to our eyes appears to be white, we ought in like manner to pronounce it to be black."[2] of the Catholic Church. It could well be the motto of the CIA or NSA.

The paradoxical nature of Christianity has long been observed and held against it. This blogger belongs among its critics, and believes that what he holds to be the neo-Christian Church (black), was established on the cremated bones of an earlier Christianity (white), which emerged out of ancient languages as ‘the Law’.

When original Christianity was turned into ‘Law’, the ancient language of ‘religion’ was turned into ‘the Word’, which are now the first words of the NT John 1:1 , but also refer to Genesis 1:1 of the Bible. The changeover from ‘language’ to ‘Word’ was a violent one, because the change was made in order to legitimize taxation on behalf of the elites and ruling classes. This anarchic ‘order’ is being enforced to this day by ‘the law’, though the ‘law’ was preceded by a ‘language’, which implicitly taught attitude and behavior that arose out of the very nature of human being, because it is out of human being that language comes.

By equating itself with language, ‘the word’ has attempted to transform itself into ‘the law’. As a consequence, we get such perversions as the following (13 Romans 13 ):

“Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God [why not substitute ‘government’ for ‘God’?], and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.”

As we can infer from Pope Francis’ call for a public fast, he implicitly challenges ‘the law’ (unto itself), which underlies the call by Oscar Obama, President of the U.S., for a war against Syria.

Indeed, today ‘the law’ has come, so to speak, full circle by proving its illegitimacy. Today (their) illegitimacy is profoundly felt by the former elites, the men and women of government who call the turn of events as a return to ‘anarchy ’. Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader (see the preceding link), beside ‘anarchy’ also speaks of ‘filibusters’. I would like to see in these ‘filibusters’ the beginnings of a return to ‘language’ and—over the long term--a turning away from ‘the law’.

Note, that “…Pay your taxes… to those who collect them” is a reference to tax collectors, which in the ‘Roman’ days (the 1st Rome was in Byzantium, not Italy) were the Jews of the Empire of Khazaria , who lived a hop skip and a jump across the Black Sea to the northeast of the Empire of Byzantium. Even an elementary knowledge of history informs one that ‘bankers’ are never popular with ordinary citizens, who, when all is said and done, had it much better when they lived in the wood as reindeer herders, milked reindeer cows, and did not have to slaughter their animals (slaughter of domesticated animals is an abomination to those who raise them by non-factory methods) to pay taxes in pelts.

The issue of animal slaughter is also likely behind the Muslim prohibition against eating pork, because wild pigs were once a commonly herded animal.
