Poland
has great influence on the Foreign policies in the areas populated by former
Balts, especially western
Ukraine, which at one time was under Lithuanian-Polish rule. To this
writer’s mind such influence comes to the detriment of the identity of the
Balts, ultimately to Poland
itself. While the govRmnt of Poland
appears to want to divert the attention of her people from domestic economic
problems by expansionist policies toward long lost territories, such diversion
does not serve the recovery of Eastern Europe
either economically or culturally. In fact, in such a country as my own Latvia ,
it encourages reactionary policies by a series of self-righteous ‘nationalist’
governments comfortable to facilitate global capitalism. As its miniscule
economy has no weight with the pseudo-EU govRmnt in Brussels ,
it uses its time at the Presidium table prioritizing and championing
unrealizable goals, such as a unified digital market place for Europe .

A Brief History of Prehistory 5
Hieros Gamos means Holy
Marriage, and ‘hiermalgamy’ means a forced unholy marriage by secular
authorities of people to governments through the act of taxation or other
violent and unnatural join-tings or divorces.
While I leave the govRmnt
of Poland
to speak for itself, I remind my western readers that its surrender and
identification with
the West goes back to the age of its ‘globalization’ by the Catholic Church.
Today, that identification is continued by Warsaw born Zbigniew Brzezinski,
who was the National
Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter (1977-81) and is
author of a well known book “The Grand Chessboard”,
which presumes to spell out foreign policy not only for the United States of
America, but Poland (and Balts) as well.
If we imagine the western geopolitical
border of the Balts as a zone that separates Western Europe from Russia , the
European Middle could begin to think about becoming an independent and assertive
European region on its own behalf. I perceive the connection of the Baltic and
Black seas as realizable, which would establishing a trade route between Scandinavia,
Livonia,
and Baltia and southern Europe, Eurasia, and Africa, and escape the deliberate stagflation
endorsed by the self-enclosed govRmnts of post-Soviet European West and Middle.
Rather than see the East of the West as a cultural zone in its own right, the
West insists that the borderlands of its East be under its control and that they
be annexed to it. The speaker of the Russian Parliament Sergey Naryshkin is
right to say that what passes as unification of Germany , actually was an annexation
by West Germany of East Germany. If there were such a thing as a common foreign
policy among post-Baltic states, these would have jumped for joy at this
Russian hint that a zone that separates the East from the West is agreeable to
them. I would like to see this New European Middle in Ukraine
reach as far as the banks of the Dnieper
River.
The connection of the seas
by a trade
route (the old Dnieper Canal replaced by a vacuum tube train transport
system connecting major trade centres of the European Middle (EM) countries) is
an idea that was championed by my maternal grandfather, who not only served as
Latvia’s first ambassador to the Soviet Union, but hoped to become then
Latvia’s Foreign Minister. His hopes did not materialize, because his Russian
born wife, my maternal grandmother, was best friends with the wife of a then
Soviet minister, who snuck a private visit to Latvia on a return visit (for
reasons of health) from Germany. When the Latvian press got wind of the visit,
reactionism blew away Karlis Ozols hopes. All he could do is publish his
memoirs (in France ),
and leave any hope of working toward the realization of his ideas to fate.*
*Stalin accused Ambassador Kārlis
Ozols of taking advantage of his diplomatic post to transport to Latvia valuables
allegedly bought cheaply from desperate and destitute Russian nobility. Kārlis
gave a suitcase or two of these valuables (said to include several Faberge
eggs) to then Swedish ambassador to Latvia, who in later years is said to have shipped
them to my impoverished uncle, Kārlis’ son, in the U.S. Alas, the ship is said
to have sunk during a storm in the Atlantic, though as far as I know, there is
no proof that a storm actually occurred.
