How Ivan Became Peter 2

Historian R.I. Moore points out in his book “The Formation of a Persecuting Society”, that Europe had not “exhibited the habit of persecution to anything like the same degree before the eleventh century, but that it continued to do so thereafter for the rest of its history, at least until the middle of the twentieth century ”. I go professor Moore a step further: that the persecution continues still, and as per blog 459, threatens the world, and seeks its violent denouement in 2014 or 2015.

If I am correct, and I dare say that I am at least in general outline*, it is because the lie or ‘false flag’ raised to its n^th in 1118 with the execution of John Basil by Byzantine Emperor Alexis I, which western or Frankish Christianity rewrote and claimed to have happened in the year 1 with the crucifixion of Jesus, whose death roughly mirrors that of John.

While the death of John differs in the given link from the death ascribed to him by Anna Comnena (in a pit of fire)  in her biography of her father Emperor Alexis I, from the death in Matthew 14, where he is beheaded by Herod, all descriptions are agreed that it was an event recorded for times to come. Such a consensus could only be arrived at if the immediate centuries that followed John’s death did indeed see the event as one where the sages (in W.B, Yeats words) “perned in the gyre” and “consumed the hearts away” of long established earlier generations.

It is possible that John’s death by being thrust in the pit of fire is reflected in the Aztec myth of their God Nanauatzin jumping into the fire to start the Sun moving.  While the historians of today are not likely to ascribe it plausibility, it is not impossible to imagine that early eastern Christians fled the system of taxation imposed on them by the Franks across the ocean to Mexico. This would explain the Jesuit say that the devil had implanted Christian resemblances in Mayan culture, where the God Quetzalcoatl was said to have been born of a Virgin and was believed he would return. In the legend of Jesus, the death by fire is nearly lost, except for the fire in the court of Herod likely kindled with the broken chairs of the Last Supper**. As the text reads now (Mark14:53-65), it is Peter “who followed him (Jesus) far off” who sits by the fire, but if we remove the words “far off”, it is both Jesus and Peter who sit by the fire where the high court and police interrogate Jesus, but failing to find fault with him, turn and interrogate also Peter.

But the story which seems to me a relatively straight forward one has been complicated beyond belief by those who serve the government caste and the events that have evolved out of its lies.

What is worse is that the majority of humankind has come to believe the government version of history and has become as if welded to it by many tragic turns in the story.

The first major tragedy is, of course, the gradual introduction of taxation and rejection of the idea that human society is able to live well without it. While the mature adult generations suffered great tragedies resisting the encroachments of the elitist classes, the young have taken to it with irresponsible glee of which ‘human rights’ is but the latest pop-elixir and black flag.

The list of tragedies begins with the death of John Basil and reaches its mature stage with Peter (so-called) tGrt, who sets the stage for the Revolution of those ignorant of their history, which is led by Lenin and consummated by Stalin. The last even confused the meaning of tragedy, because while instigated to violence by the resentments against the West by his early Christian orthodox teachers in Georgia, Stalin was misled by western educated Marx, who had no idea that at the root of the problem was taxation and the civilization it wrought, but believed that the fault lay with capitalism, which accumulated wealth at the expense of those who were repressed and remained forever poor. The slaughter that resulted from Stalin’s  simplistic notions, edged on by no less simplistic notions of capitalism promoted by Germany’s Hitler, brought into being the present catastrophe at the end of ‘Dead End Street’ (where a U.S. Secretary of Defense, no less ignorant of history than the ‘gay’ Defense Secretary of Latvia) do what they can to promote WW3.

*As far as I know, critics (myself including) of catholic or globalist history are calling for a General Council of World Historians under the auspices of the United Nations to reexamine historical records and other relevant materials to create a universally acceptable permanent or temporary record of the history to supersede the present chronology and interpretation given it.

**The name ‘Cathar’, name of early eastern Christians in prehistoric France, relates to ‘cathedra’, chair, which along with weaving was the means of livelihood of said caste of artisans. The name ‘caste’ as referring to social stratification in India is a western invention in the same manner as some Harvard and MIT professors belittle the average Americans as ‘stupid’.

Eso’s Chronicles 204/ 4
47 Pensioners (5)

Many years ago (~1973), while protesting the building of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in New Hampshire, a number of protesters, myself including, undertook a fast that lasted for two weeks. If I remember right,  the Boston Globe gave us passing notice. Today, I have passed that small self-disciplinary act by several days and am now on day 17. So far so good, except that the store bought juices which I have been drinking are sickeningly sweet and tasteless. Since the apples in my orchard are coming ripe, I am now gathering a few sacks full of them, and a neighbor of mine has promised to press them into apple juice.

A person who is well acquainted with Latvian politics and to whom I have sent blogs 200 & 201 of my Chronicle series, inquired what it was that I was asking of the government. I responded by mentioning several demands (I have written of them in my blogs and in these posts): a quick restoration of the Riga Castle as a symbol of Latvia’s sovereignty. Among a number of other requests, are included a request for a quick passage of the necessary changes to Amendment 68., which will enable Latvia to maintain its sovereignty in the face of expected changes in the Lisbon Treaty moving Europe to become a Federation; and the resignation of the Minister of Justice Bordans who through his actions and words has given strong indications of his indifference to Latvia as a sovereign nation and hints of his tacit agreement to Latvia’s inclusion in Federated Europe.

Way back then—forty years ago—I eventually left the Clamshell Alliance when a small group of people felt that “direct action non-violent protest” included cutting fences at the Seabrook worksite. I felt that such actions nullified non-violent protests such as marching with signs, fasting, or sitting in a tree for a few weeks, which is how one resident of  New Hampshire got the protest movement going. I got back something of a sneer from the more aggressive group, because my reaction to its breaking the consensus vow was verbally explosive, and perhaps because the group felt its tactics were more likely to stop the construction project. It did not.

Because today I am repeating my fasting ‘act’, I am better prepared to explain it than I was then. First, another brief remembrance of the times back in Boston. At the time, I was working as a typesetter for a small newspaper publishing company out of Brookline that published a weekly newspaper called The Boston Ledger and Brookline Chronicle. The editor of the papers, John Van Scoyoc, gave me the opportunity to write a short weekly column. This may have had something to do with the fact that even then, I was much complaining about the state of politics. However, when the opportunity arose to actually write about it, I discovered that I could not bring myself to say anything relevant, and thus my column quickly turned into a rather ordinary kind of ‘chronicle’. The reason for clamming up was a very simple one: American politics was rather like the politics of Latvia are today—positivist, non-controversial, in a rut, and to say anything contradictory would turn anyone into an ogre, he-she was not prepared to be or play.

In the context of the current economic and financial crisis, politics has become potentially more controversial. This is borne out in that a recovery from the economic and financial crisis is not only in doubt, but the very fact that it is in doubt, allows one to think of the consequences of failure. Not just any failure, but a failure with catastrophic consequences.

The presumption of the current Latvian government of PM Valdis Dombrovskis, the Unity Party, and coalition of Nationalist partners to navigate toward a Federal Europe without consulting the nation by holding a referendum (allowed for by the Constitution) violates in a traitorous manner the Latvian Constitution (an understanding between the citizens of the nation and its government). Latvia gained sovereignty (1918) after a hard and bloody fight and paid the price in tens of thousands of lives. Moreover several hundred thousand Latvians escaped from death by fleeing to Russia and other war related events by the skin of their teeth. Later during the Bolshevik times, many were deported to the Gulags. Those who found new homes in the West did not remain loyal to Latvia in their memories or ‘fantasize’ about a free Latvia in the expectation that it would be surrendered to and take orders from an unelected government in Brussels.

While acceding with the arguments of some sociologists that the politics of ‘democratic’ Europe today supersede (by means of methods of a dictatorship) the communities established by nations in earlier times, it is clear that the modern individual will not stand up for the community he-she arise from. Nevertheless, an individual of a differing mind may hope to awaken an asleep community that has forgot its roots or is so attached to fiat currency that it is all that he-she is capable of being loyal to. That individual has the help of current crisis, possibly bringing a new reserve currency within a very short span of time and the inevitable chaos and war this may lead to.

In times when the community was not yet subject to the hegemonic choke of old killer empires that have survived to the present day, situations like those facing Latvia and other nations, met with determined resistance. One telling example comes from Japan, an actual event that involved 47 ronin , i.e. samurai. The story of how they saved Japan from loss of honor (actually as a nation) remains as an inspiration to this day.

I suggest that the story is as applicable to not-violent actions today as it was in the 18^th century. To understand what I am about to suggest next the reader should read the story at the above link.

It is possible that--but for the hypnotist’s snap of his fingers to awaken his subjects--such 47 individuals are still to be found today and are awaiting the signal. I am not proposing that these 47 indispensible ones are samurai or soldiers, or subscribe to some Japanese code of honor, but are individuals with a spirit not unlike that residing within any organic community that yet remains. Indeed, given the decentered individual of our time, the untested culture of the cult of youth, the candidate for one of the 47 may, more likely, be found in a nursing home or among pensioners.

The mode of protest on behalf of a nation’s sovereignty was best known in the West before neo-Christianity repressed those Christians who had existed long before the arrival of Catholicism and its state serving offshoots. These early Christians were known as Cathars. While the Cathars were murdered by fire, and though no record remains that they escaped their fate by taking resort to their well known ritual known as the  endura  (after taking consolamentum  from their own priests or by divine inspiration, one begins a fast that ends in death), the precedent is there (was practiced for many centuries if not longer) and its potential remains an option.

I am convinced that in spite of the falsehoods and contempt filled propaganda still surrounding the kind of Christianity practiced by the Cathars, the reawakening of such a spirit is not only a necessity, but remains the only way that will put the arrogance of today’s ‘democratic’ dictatorships back were it and they belongs—in the resort town for the living dead.
