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 20^th or 21^st 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 .

Eso’s Chronicles 251/ 37
Addend 11—Kleptocrat Democracies
© Eso A.B.

I have never been comfortable with the term ‘democracy’ as it is used today, let alone with the assertion that it began in Athens of classical Greece, which probably never was except as the ‘dream-land’ of the princely dictators of the West. For the life of me, I cannot imagine a ‘democracy’ beginning in a city, every one of which has a slaughterhouse for animals and several ‘special’ houses for ‘special’ people. Thus, to be sure, this ‘democracy’ does not include animal rights or allow human communities to develop as biocentric political democracies. Instead, we have a ‘humanist’ institution, though that term did not arise until some centuries later during the so-called Age of Enlightenment.

It happens that I feel more comfortable with ‘democracy’ as an institution when we human beings still lived in the wood and there was no priesthood which could insist (it needs an enforcer) that there is only one God and that religion is an institution for disembodied monotheists (for whom circumcision is their 2^nd birth). They say, that Judaism is founded on “monotheism” and—wouldn’t you know it—the institution of law that assures that there is no other God before Thee but One; Who detaches one from one’s mother’s breast by the meme gene brought to us as an unforgettable dream through circumcision*.

So, this is how we came to the uniquely modern One institution known as ‘democratic’ dictatorship, the unelected European government known as the Parliament of the European Union sitting in Strasburg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament and a U.S. Congress detached from the American people by AIPAC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Israel_Public_Affairs_Committee . While these ‘kleptocracies’ of ‘democracy’ claim to be among the largest democratic institutions of the world (read the link), in fact, they are such only by presuming for themselves the right to declare themselves such when out of reach of a direct vote by the people. In other words, the EU Parliament, the U.S. government, and the Israeli Zionist led government consist of political delegates elected by parties rather than by the people from a Populist midst.

Let us see how this ‘democracy’ came to be. In an interesting but outdated book called “The Cathars”, author Malcolm Lambert, writes in the first paragraph of the Introduction:

“The rise and fall of the Cathar heresy from the twelfth to the early fourteenth century was a major event in Western European history. The reaction which Catharism provoked led directly to the Albigensian Crusade, to the ending of the possibility of a trans-Pyrenean Occitanian state http://www.midi-france.info/1905_occitania.htm and the effective incorporation of the South under a dynamic French monarchy. Catharism rose just as other heresies did in the twelfth century….”

What is out of date about this assertion is that what happened between the 12^th and 14^th centuries in Western Europe (not only in Occitania) was the destruction not of heresy, but early Christianity which preceded Catholic (Globalizing) Christianity. What happened in those centuries was the murder of an earlier European democratic civilization, which was still largely domiciled in the wood.

This civilization of the wood, where human dwellings were but small cleared lots that included beside the dwelling a garden and an orchard,  held our planet as a Commons. It was the civilization of Abel, who was slain (12^th - 14^th centuries) by Cain. Incidentally Abel is a name derived from the name for ‘apple tree’ (apple=abol=Abel=abolish), and we should not be surprised that one of Anton Chekov’s most famous plays is called the The Cherry Orchard, the cherry being a twin of the apple tree in the garden of and in the wood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLPqISJFK-E&list=PL8A96EE7248015A3B . The ‘dynamic French’, too, were—before they turned French==known as Franks, who before that were known as Vikings, who about that time were kicked out of what today is Romania and resettled in the northwest of Europe to begin a tirelessly violent effort to deliver our planet of dawn or, if you will, the East**.

What we have today is little more than a repetition of that awful past, except that what is happening today is a lot more awful than it was a millennium ago and not-violent nature is beginning to fight back because it has been destroyed by turning the wood into the deserts of the city.

The West is a graveyard, and it blames the murder of Cain on Abel. Do you need proof that the city is a synonym for violence and that it has run out of graveyard space and needs to vacate the homeless from caves? http://rt.com/news/spain-granada-caves-eviction-204/ and, soon, subway tunnels?

*An essential element of the rite of circumcision is the presence of a ‘mohel’ (originally meaning mother), who licks the blood off the wound. The ‘dream image’ meme or ‘knowledge’ ensures that the child will for ever after subliminally visualize the mouth as the birthplace, thus giving the word or law preeminence over the womb.

 

**It is possible that the Aztecs, forebears of Mexico, originated from out of the refugees from Occitania; and their famous ‘sunrise’ ritual reflects a reassertion of the catastrophe taking place in Europe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanahuatzin .
