Smartass John and Crazy Jane

Scene 1: (Children of the Witch and God’s Own Devil)

Translated by © Eso A.B.

Synopsis: Smartass John announces to his six brothers that the time has come to join the annual ritual of ‘community reconstitution’ at the Old Witch’s Inn. The preparations are elaborate and begin with the raising of horses and the journey to the ritual site. Because the communal ties have already loosened, the six brothers of Smartass John leave him behind and, driven by erections caused by naked nature, ride off by themselves. Smartass John rides last, nevertheless, dreaming of the pleasures he is likely to enjoy when meeting Crazy Jane.
The Poet:

Once upon a time there lived

Smartass John. Smartass John

was so smart

that soon after he was born

he already knew to tell

his six elder brothers

not to marry before he was grown.

 

Because this telling seemed

unusual and possibly smart,

the brothers of Smartass John,

--all slow thinkers—

agreed to wait for him.

 

Many years passed.

At least twenty.

When time was done

Smartass John knew

that he was possessed

by a being of an ancient Balt,

whose name was God’s Own Devil.

 

One day God’s Own Devil,

who resided within Smartass John,

spoke to Smartass John thusly:

“Listen, Smartass,

I feel an erection coming on.

I believe the time has come

to go looking for brides for ourselves.”

 

Smartass John then went

to speak to his six brothers.

 

Smartass John:
“Brothers, day after tomorrow,

comes Midsummer’s Eve.

All Johns, whether Smartass or not,

will celebrate it.

God’s Own Devils

will be getting together with

the Witch’s seven daughters.

It has come to my ears

That there will be a brau-ha-ha

at the Witch’s Inn.

The “Lesser Johns”, a band of pagans

will play crazy waltzes.

Let us go and take the Witch’s daughters

and whittle them

until they become our brides.”.

 

Chorus (left):

In Latvian a witch is called

Ra-Zhanna.

Ra-Zhanna is called in English

Sun’s Crazy Jane.

 

Chorus (right and left):

Yes, yes! The Old Witch is,

innkeeper, mother, and Madam.

As the Irish poet* said

(so says also the Witch):
"For nothing can be sole or whole
that has not been rent."
The time of the whole is ripe for rending.

All Six Brothers:

“That’s very nice!

But we have no horses to get there.

How are we to come by the horses?”

 

Smartass John:

Do not worry, brothers.

That is no problem.

It’s nothing special!

Go catch me seven crickets.

I will fix the rest.

 

Chorus:

Smartass’ brothers left to catch crickets.

 

Chorus (left):

Because the brothers

lived not far from Jerusalem

which is by the sea,

they caught the crickets in the sand dunes.

They then put the crickets

into a sack and brought them,

and put at Smartass John’s feet.

 

Chorus (right):

Smartass John invited his brothers

to come with him to the beach.

 

The Poet:

When all seven brothers had come

to the Sea of Livonia,

Smartass John opened the sack

And shook all crickets into the sand

Just as the smallest of waves

came washing over them.

 

The crickets tried to escape

and jumped high,

but fell back into the sea

where shallow waves washed over them again.

When the crickets had stopped jumping,

Smartass John washed them clean

Of all sand.

 

All six brothers of Smartass John

stood with their mouths wide open.

“What a Smartass,” they spoke among themselves.

Their mouths opened even wider,

when the crickets

encased in a financial bubble

jumped up once more

and turned into seven horses.

 

The six brothers did not waste any time.

They picked their horses and rode off.

They left Smartass brother John

a mare called Rose.

The mare was the same,

which in days past had carried

God’s Own Devil John Don Quixote

Against many windmills.

 

The mare, also known as Rosinante,

seemed a little tired,

but when tested,

was sprightly.

 

Still, by the time Smartass John

was ready to ride,

His six brothers were already

halfway to Ra-Zhanna’s Inn.

Smartass John did not mind

the hurry of his brothers.

Even though God’s own Devil in his pants

Begged to rest on Crazy Jane’s thighs.

Introduction

 

As those who stumble on these blogs know, by passing over them without comment, they confirm them as a writer’s public diary. This is why pareidolia is the primary mover of these blogs, which may make some readers upset, but yet others laugh. Needless to say, I take it for granted that not everyone makes the same associations or perceives the same synchronicities as I do.

 

As some claim: those who invent their own mythology are impaired to judge its quality. It is interesting, however, that when the mythmaker is more than one, we have the beginnings of a culture.

 

My tendency to paredolize has a number of sources.

 

One is the experience of war at an early age. The experience of war in childhood destroyed for me the credibility of the ‘modern’ world view. Pareidolia’s first effect was to turn me into a delinquent, that is to say, I saw no sense in the culture (particularly that of the West and U.S., the presumed victors of WW1&2) to which I was to come and which claimed to be a caring one. While I valued learning, I rejected learning for the sake of a profession, because I saw this as a form of personal defeat, a sucking into an enterprise that from my perspective deserved no commitment, and an effort to cause to join those who were culpable in the destruction of a humanity subject to its inner rather than a government deposited outer layer (chitin) of its nature.

 

Early delinquency and respect for literature (what did other intelligences make of our being infused in nature?—yes, I believe that intelligence extends beyond the brain), indeed, led me to attempts at reconstructing mythology. The first attempts were by way of surrealist poetry, which included attempts at translating Latvian folk poetry. These attempts, utter failures due to a lack of personal confidence and my extended (exile) community’s concerns for survival in a bombastic and disruptive ‘American’ culture, were accompanied by haphazard, yet somehow relevant reading, of material that included history, literature, myth, philosophy, religion, and art. Gradually, I arrived at the conclusion that all of so-called Western culture was built on a lie. It made and yet makes me feel as if I am walking on the surface of a mirror, which as it reflected the soles of my feet and crackes continually, kept whispering to me: You are walking over irrelevant depths.

 

The preceding blogs are something of a record of where the cracked mirror of relevant and irrelevant associations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia#Explanations  has taken me.

 

The following blogs present the translation of a story that I wrote in Latvian. The story gives a superficial overview of what I believe to have been the culture of the Balts, which was destroyed when the violence of the West via the Franks of Byzantium and Westphalia] turned a culture of determined turnip eaters into hunters, who—as soldiers of fortune and collectors of the fur tax helped the Franks (Western Europeans, including Normans and Englishmen) introduce to the world our current culture based on cruelty and taxation. In effect, the culture of the Balts at the time still shied away from Western materialism and favored emotional commitment to a moral perspective. Its exposure to the cruel and nature denying fur tax most likely introduced by the Vikings, was relatively recent phenomenon and solicited resistance, because it appeared that it could be resisted and denied.

 

One of the costs that a destroyed culture and history (of the West as a whole, but my country of Latvia in particular) forced on its people to accept was demoralization and a mealy mouthed leadership, which continues to express itself through disinterest in its own history to this day. The resulting ignorance (Latvians call it ‘tumsonība’, darkened self) is manifest as a ‘chiting’ or ‘exoskeleton’ culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoskeleton . This ‘culture’, that denies its own skeleton, may be seen in the pareidolic association of Lithuanians with the Poles during the end of times for the Balts in the region of Livonia in the 12^th century. While today the association is explained as circumstantial, it may in fact be so, because the Poles (and likely the Belarusians and Ukrainians) were, once upon a time, part of an extended Baltic culture. Marija Gimbutas (1921-94) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozaeuULrLjM , the well known Lithuanian archeologist at UCLA, hinted as much in her studies on the origin of the Balts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurgan_hypothesis , though she did not venture to speculate why the Balts so readily succumbed, while their neighbors, the Slavs adapted to Western ways, internalized their resistance, which they aborted with such tragic consequences during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution.  While today the Balts blame the Slavs for their fate, this appears to be the less critical analysis of whence the aggressiveness. From this writer’s perspective, the greater agressors are the Vikings and their ruling dynasty, the Rurics (? Rovers), whose meat eating habits predisposed them to the exploitation of life by judging wildlife less worthy than itself, which made it easier for them to become killers. Surely the fur tax was a holocaust aimed against wild life that extended from Lisbon to Vladivostok to America to, in effect, everywhere. While untenable today, Western culture continues to exploit Nature, exemplified in our time by hardening the psyche of humankind against God or any other transcendent meaning of life.

 

To put it another way, I come from a contemporary culture as profound as the “Pop!” one hears when inadvertently one steps on one of the billions of snails that globalization and industrial polution (including warming) has inundated Eastern Europe with. While denial of the death of Latvia as a cultural entity is widespread (recently the denial has been reasserted through a pompous four volume history called “Latvians and Latvia”), the death is self-evident to anyone who wishes to take a pareidolic view and resists government sponsored analysis.

 

The story of “Smartass John and Crazy Jane”, put in the form of a play, and told (and sing-songed) by a chorus of voices, is based on a folk character known as Clever John (Gudrais Jānis). Since there is a bit of conceit about his character, I have named him ‘Smartass John’, even though anciently his name was likely ‘Dievelis’ (whence the English ‘Devil’), meaning “divine derivative of God” or the Son of the Sun (the Morning Star), yet humiliated and in more recent fairy-tales appearing as Tom Thumb or worse--Satan.

 

Smartass John interacts with Crazy Jane, a well known but also belittled (and now extinguished) character in European folk literature http://stevesilberman.com/celestial/yeats/crazy.html The elimination of Crazy Jane (last European author to take her seriously was the Irish poet

W.B. Yeats) from Europe may have followed the incineration of Joan of Arc http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/304220/Saint-Joan-of-Arc , a Crazy Jane from the point of view of Catholic (neo-Christian) religion embarked on globalization and banalization of culture through means of ‘just wars’ worldwide.

 

Since “Smartass John and Crazy Jane” is a long story, I visualize it as being told over a period of two Midsummer (Johns) days, the first day encompasing Scenes 1 through 8, the second day concluding the ritual tale of ‘community reconstitution’, Scenes 9 through 14.

 

Note to editors: As these blogs are written serially and not first and only then inserted in blogs, it often happens that not all the kinks when naming characters or creating tangents to story line are as clear as they ought to be. Sometimes, I return to the blog and make corrections, but for the most part, I leave the material remain as originally entered. If anyone becomes interested the material other than this writer, I leave it to the editor to make the necessary corrections, clarifications, and consultations.

Angst 3

The design for the future promoted by commercial interests of our time, despite continued projection of that design by way of slick technological images, and despite the projections of humankind as obsessed with consumption (and seeing America become a country of ‘fat’ people as a result), is, at last, being dashed against the shoals of reality.

The damage done to the mind through images and words projected by advertisers of the boutique industry, which gained popularity during the second half of the 20^th century, is gradually replaced by a more realistic word and image via the internet where auctions and ‘close out sales’ are popular and prevail. One of the values of watching the climb down of ‘progress’ and ‘high expectations’ to reality is that it offers a realistic view of Angst returning from a trip to the china shop, which is what the era of Industrial Revolution was all about.

Some of the ‘objects’ in the china shop are ‘stupid’ celebrities, who are so enamored with ‘making it’ that they either take nudies of themselves or let paparazzi do it, then when such fotos go public scream (being morally rectitudinal) that a crime has been perpetrated against their human rights. A spokespersons of no less ‘stupid’ Pirate Party http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party sees fit to inverse what actually happened and defend stupid broads:  "[Günther Oettinger , the EU Commissioner] placed the moral blame for this crime squarely on the victims rather than the perpetrators," condemns one Pirate Party spokesperson. Does not the defender of stupidity not know that no program on the internet provides foolproof protection from prying eyes? Indeed, such protection is provided only by the wood if the Pirates had not cut it down to make masts for their ships and then go marauding around our planet to steal the wealth of the the common people.

This writer sees no ‘crime’ when a spade is called a spade. And if a return to sanity is a ‘crime’, then may God turn into the De-vil.

While Angst among the city-zenry in the West is working its effects pozitively, the 1990s collapse of the Soviet Union slowed down the process in the East. This is why the cityzens of post-Communist states, which were long exposed to unrealistic dreams, came to believe that ‘rape the earth’ mercantilism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantilism  was on the whole beneficial, copied inverted reality and became converts to fascism on a global scale.

We are witness to such fascism spreading in the Far East. As one Jack Ma, a Chinese oligarch and  founder of Alibaba recently put it: “If you’re poor at 35, you deserve it” http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-22/jack-ma-if-youre-poor-35-you-deserve-it , because you have no ‘ambition’. The ‘ugly American’ virus has infected any number of Chinese sheeple and there is no shortage of either Russian, Chinese, American, or European fascists who believe that going global will hide their criminal undertakings.

One reason why what is going on may be described as “God’s War” is that virtual reality created by the West over a period of a thousand years has destroyed a multi dimensional ‘natural’ humanity and has replaced it with a humanity of a restricted intelligence. Not surprisingly these virtually naked near dead believe that when sitting on the toilet they are engaged in an act of growing roots.

To return to the theme of earlier blogs: the world around us today is the result of the Establishment supporting the 11^th Commandement, which has been rewritten from “Thou shall not tax” to “Tax is God’s creation” and governments fully support such a smart God. While successfully repressed for a very long time, the impossibility of sustaining a world built on the dreams by leaders out of touch with reality and a real God, the edifice comes, at last, crashing down. The elitist leadership knows this by instinct if not conscious recognition. The 9/11 fiasco, abetted in by the leadership, tells of the extent of Angst among those responsible for building our unsustainable ‘civilization’. There must be some believable way to bring it down, no? It is no news that governments need actors, i.e., false witnesses to verify faked events https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzog9yTRVNQ . We will be witnessing a miracle when the fake fails.

Angst 2

One of the symptoms of Angst is the ‘sheeple’, either adult population or students. That is to say that the learning provided students through books has been written by scholars who have bought into the false history governments peddle to anyone who will listen.  In the previous blog, I pointed out my concerns over the student led protests in the Chinese city of Hong Kong http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-29405889 . A look at the photographs of the demonstrators confirms that they represent a human species known as consumers of which ‘sheeple’ is a synonym.

Belatedly, some of the organizers of the student campaign for more ‘democracy’ and ‘freedom’ are taking note that freedom, encouraged by consumerism, unleashes a desire http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-29420802 for instant gratification. Such gratification, proves itself to be about as violent as the three hundred Plus years since 1648 which legalized Peace by deterrence.

We should know that peace through ‘deterrence’ means violence without 1. a declaration of war; and 2. ‘sovereigns’ which are major military powers need not declare war to engage in violence. Violence by undeclared war  leaves ‘sovereign’ governments (including small ones) to ‘float’ free from their roots and wage war against their own citizens (North Korea, for example) by declaring them ‘terrorists’ by government fiat (from Latin: ‘let it be’).

Most of the readers should be able to imagine the anxiety of Chinese government officials as they discuss the stupidity of the policies of  post-Mao ideologues and whether student ‘freedom fighters’ ought to be shot Tiananmen style, or should the madness of a consumer generation be quarantined (by blocking off of streets), declaring the protesters infected by the ebola virus, and letting death come as a result of natural causes such as starvation and thirst.

The current projections of Western Angst in Hong Kong, Kiev, and other places, is the result of the Westphalia Peace Treaty which denied religion and God a direct say in checking social behavior. By subjecting life to  ‘materialization’ as it were, a solely secular orientation destroyed Nature, both, as a teacher of limitations and a zone for naked life to retreat to from attacks by a reality become entirely virtual and subject to corporate CEO’s fancying themselves (such as the U.S. Vice President Dick Chainey) leaders of humankind.

We are living in a time when humankind has received the ‘bill of lading’ for the behavior (cargo and soul) of governments with no one with authority to checkmate them. We are just getting around to noting what ‘freedom’ sans spiritual conflict leads to. It is not only that it has caused the extinction of God and Nature http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-29418983 , but that it is engaged in the elimination of life itself. True, the executioners of life are suggesting they can replace real life creatures with ‘cyborgs’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg . It is worth noting, that ‘cyborgs’ were first named more than a half a century ago, at which time they had already emerged as ghosts from the morgues to which life as the living dead is removed, and were recognized as cyborgs, zombies, the half dead, the living dead, etc.

No wonder that the Antichrist, once held (by orthodox theologians) to be the greatest of abominations, has begun to make appearances in the figure of the De-vel, which is a rename given Himself by none other than God. To those who are puzzled by such an inversion of God’s Self, imagine a rich man who has suffered bankrupcy, but is too old to hope to recover his material fortune. Under the circumstances, the rich old man has only one option left to him: He must play the lottery.

As we know, orthodox religions sneer at the lottery for a number of reasons, of which immorality is neither the last or least. But… if there is no other way to come into money. and, say, your name is Lenin. Well, you play the lottery. 

If Lenin’s number never wins, the winner is the orthodox Russian tsar; while if the lottery wins Lenin a prize of 90 million euros in the Euro Lottery, Lenin is in a position to put most of his political and economic theories into practice. The support that Lenin received from the disenfranchised Ludi living in the Russian Empire of the tsars, attests to the fact that  a majority of the 99% Ludi margianalized by the Tsar, were in support of trouble makers. In effect, God had chosen to become his mirror image, the  De-vel.

So, who is to say that the De-vel is not God and that He does not love God even if the Ukrainian fascists topple one of the largest statues of Lenin in Ukraine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnJuy2TIxs0 ?

Angst 1

Angst is a German word for fear. What makes it unique is that behind the word stands an intimate association with guilt unto death. To have a dream and awaken from it with Angst is to have experienced death from which awakening is a miracle of sorts. This is the same Angst that has awakened the West and causes it to renew its old war with the East for fear the East will survive it.

As this link to Plato http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/republic.9.viii.html tells it: “... democracy, [which] is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.”

The Angst of this “charming form of government” is that the dispensing of equality to unequals may create guilt unto death. This motivates aggression in the ranks of oligarchs and their bureaucratic supporters, who act as executioners for their more equal than others employers.

When Angst appears unannounced, it is because 99% of the less than equal population, is rising like yeast in the fantasies of the oligarchy that constitutes no more than .0001% of the population. While the 99% wish to do no more than reclaim its lost God, it has to take that God away from the party of oligarchs, which seized control of that God for its personal use. While I have argued that the theft occurred as far back as a thousand years ago following the Great Schism between the East and the West, the loss of God to the 99% of Ludis now earns them the name of ‘terrorists’.

This is not to say that God has not been seized at various other times  in cultures and societies where the monopolization of God by one or another party may have gone unnoticed or was ignored. One such intermediary episode was when Friedrich Nietzsche announced that “God died”:

“Once blasphemy against God was the greatest blasphemy; but God died, and therewith also those blasphemers. To blaspheme the earth is now the dreadfulest sin, …!” (Thus Spake Zarathustra, Prologue).

What Nietzsche failed to notice is that when God dies and is replaced by Angst, the blaspheming of earth is not an improvement. Therefore, Angst tends to resurrect Eastern Christianity as it existed before it was squelched by the Christianity of the elites. This is an interesting phenomenon, heretofore not given much attention by either Eastern or Western Christian establishments, which define themselves by the frocks of their officials.

Apparently Eastern Christians had several episodes in which God died. This likely occurred before the Eastern Orthodox Church submitted to the dogmas of Western orthodoxy. One can deduce that Eastern Christian Ludis then substituted God who died with the Devil. They did this because they discovered that God as the Devil is better than no God at all. Whatever his faults, the Devil gave humankind the strength to dissent from the establishment, and fight for the restoration of such a God as had once been worshipped by angels of which the Devil is said to have been one.

In effect, when God becomes the property of Pope Francis of the Catholic Church, or Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, an early eastern Christian Sataniel (Saint + Yaniel/John) or Devil (Dev + velis = God + his ghost), aka Johannmed (John + healer), the Devil succors the dissident ‘Dev-vil’ in all of us. To the discomfort of orthodox believers and unbelievers, the Devil arrives the momen God is claimed by a select group for its exclusive possession.

Of course, we know that there are many fundamentalist believers for whom the written word is more important than the spoken word, and who will point to some passage in the Bible or New Testament and begin denouncing Antichrist. Fortunately Antichrist arises only when God has been appropriated by forces who prefer that He sits quietly not only on the throne, but on his hands as well.

This brings up the question—when has a rebellion reached a degree of energy sufficient to replace a stolen God with the Devil going berserk?

To give but one answer would play into the hands of atheists who wish God dead once and for all. This is why we need to have another look at ‘docetism’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docetism of Eastern Christianity. Despite being denounced as ‘heretical’ by letter bound Western Church, docetists continued to worship a ‘seeming’ incarnation of God, which ‘seemingness’ they explained to be a consequence of the spoken word. As I have already argued, a verbal culture is superior to a lettered culture by virtue of its flexibility. A spoken word has many inflections, whereas the written word may be inflected only by a priest or lawyer. According the Bogomil (docetist) understanding of the Word, Christ was born when He descended from heaven, passed through the right ear of the Virgin, and emerged in a bodily form that was not a body but its mask.

In our time we know that the docetists were right, because by virtue of a hologram, we are able to recreate a seemingly three dimensional verbal beings, which have no physical body that we may grasp http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2773135/Has-Julian-Assange-broken-asylum-interview-U-S-Nope-s-just-hologram.html .

PEACE BECOME A CATASTROPHE

I am thinking of the Westphalian Peace Treaty (1648) http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/641164/Westphalia .

While the Treaty of Westphalia allegedly ended a series of religious wars in Western Europe extending over more than a hundred years, it put the authority of secularism over that of religion, and emasculated religion in the West utterly, It also froze a nascent civilization of false flag histories into a seemingly permanent structure.

As a consequence not only the West, but the East, which the West had brought to its knees [during the First Crusade (aka the Fourth) against the holy city of Byzantium in 1204], became the foundation stones for a rootless civilization built on a foundation of a conglomeration of pseudo histories that are with us to this day.

As an example, there is not a single entry on Wikipedia regarding the First (aka the Fourth) Crusade that knows what it is talking about. All entries are by brainwashed catholicized and globalized cheese makers who claim themselves to be ‘historians’.

It is not that conflicts fought over religious faith were ended by the Westphalian Peace Treaty. That Peace Treaty was in fact called for by a citified class of elites, a class largely responsible for bringing the Bubonic Plague to Europe, during the 14^th century, by turning the wood into cities http://www.geschichteinchronologie.ch/MA/judentum-pest-d/karte02-pestausbreitung-in-Europa.gif  after destroying the ludis of the wood by imposing on them by means of violence the fur tax in the 12^{th and} 13^th centuries. This tax became the very foundation of our tax based era.

Fortunately the Industrial era is collapsing—though this is not yet generally acknowledged. The collapse is apparently going down with the entire edifice that was cemented into being by the Treaty of Westphalia. Let us note that the northern Rhine region and Westphalia is located in the approximate area of Brussels http://www.world-guides.com/images/belgium/belgium_country_map.jpg , the seat of dictatorship of the centralized European Union, is to be found.

The relevance of religious differences was ended by a secular power play, and the elimination of spiritual differences in interpretation of religion (as perceived by the rich and poor, which emerged from the institution of the fur tax that led to so-called ‘modern’ government). The differences were left unresolved in favor of techno- bureau-cratic solutions. The most relevant ‘religious’ issue left unresolved was the cause of the schism of the 12^th century that created the artifices of the East and the West, which were and continue to be the causes of a religious war sub rosa or in secret.

This is why the monstrous spiritual campaigns of revenge by Stalin against religion and Pol Pot’s government of death in Cambodia against a westernized consumer class, but showed a palmed knife. These monstrous events of revenge have by no means come to an end. I was reminded of the possibilities of violence when this morning (28.09.14), I read about the student riots in Hong Kong. While the West advertises these riots as events for ‘democracy’, anyone who sees the students as a manifestation of a cultural and consumer type of ebola virus, sees them as potential victims of another slaughter a la Tian Min http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-27/riot-not-ferguson-it-hong-kong  , then and now Western inspired provocations.

Which is not to say that I support the present Chinese government, because it (and Russia) fails to recognize and admit that it has joined the West in exploiting humankind by repressing it, depleting its natural environment, the wood, by continuing to tax an unwitting city-zenry. The French philosopher Paul Virilio (“Pure War”, The MIT Press, p. 103 ff) is on mark when he sees contemporary governments as endo-colonial (the State as destiny), or as I would call them—Endoparasites.

Because globalization is not fully realized, Western corporatist forces (major benefactors of the Westphalian Peace Treaty) are organizing themselves for a Crusade against such powers as they consider their opposition. Among these, Russia, China, India, and Brazil play a major role and are counter organizing, but not as entities of a different religion or perception of the role o humankind, but as twins of the West. This makes for the same error committed by Lenin and Stalin when they failed to reinvigorate a repressed and dismissed Christianity of the East in favor of accepting the interpretation of a Christianity West. Hence, their identification of humankind with the industrial worker, rather than with a semi autonomous humankind living in the wood and practicing an autarchic form of economy based on gardening and nonviolent exploitation of the ‘gifts of the wood’.

This is why this writer believes that a reanalysis of history is of the greatest importance if the “peacemeal” WW3 is not to repeat the mistakes of WW1 & 2.

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 .
