King Cain

A Short and Never Before Heard History of King and God

7 WHO WAS THAT BOGOMIL?

The disregard of the pronunciation of consonants as understood by Grimm’s Law (see Ch4) is one of the sins of historians. Also, the lack of public discussion about the nature of language and its effect on history is caused by secular governments and linguists employed by governments. By failing to study how words and names change when moving from one language to another, we are taught to fail discover our way out of the labyrinth of falsehoods—both past and present. We remain entrapped in the lies perpetrated by kings, governments, and educational institutions.

One of the mysteries about Jesus is his origin. Aside from his alleged birth in Bethlehem-Betelheim and a trip to and from Egypt, we know nothing about whence and why he comes. It is unlikely that Jesus was ever in Palestine. The story of Nativity is either an invention by a romantic imagination or something like the continuation of the fake 9/11 story ad infinitum.

*Egypt—Mary and Joseph are said to escape a government instigated slaughter of children (apparently to get Jesus), then when the slaughter is over the family returns to Palestine to participate in a census that never happened.

The question about the origin of Jesus brings us to Anna Comnena, the 11^th century ‘historian’ from Byzantium, who attempts to justify her emperor father’s reign (as if he were continuing the tradition of a sacred king) and repression and slaughter of who do not share his views.

According to Anna Comnena, Emperor Alexis I spied on and then condemned Basil (the Bogomil King) to die. The Emperor issued the condemnation, not only because Basil professed to be a Bogomil, a word that means, both, ‘Lover of God’ and ‘God’s Beloved’, but because Basil’s teaching contradicted the ideas of the Emperor, who believed that he knew all there was to know on the subject of God. The thousands of people who had genuflected before him, had persuaded him that surely God loved him more than some carpenter or woodcutter from who knows what neck of the wood.

The name ‘Bog’, God, has a complicated origin. As the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bey tells it, the origin of the name is to be looked for in the languages of old Turkish (where it is spoken Bey) and Persian (beyg). We read  under ‘Etymology’: “All Middle Iranian languages retain forms derived from baga- in the sense "god...”

What is of great interest is that the “Turkish bögü, [also means] ‘shaman’". The reader may recall that ‘shaman’ is a healer, a wizard, a warlock or witch. Shamans were common when the world was not yet usurped by an endless series of laws and fake ‘do-good’ magic (radio, television, internet, mobile phones, drones, quadricycles, and more) of the city. There was a time when humankind still knew itself to be part of Nature, and had healers who had chosen to become such, because they themselves had suffered and had some idea what pain was about.

The understanding that binds baga, bögü, God and healer under one umbrella, reminds us how linguists, for all their claims to academic professionalism, are creatures prejudiced by religious dogmas of the 19^th, 20^th, 21^st, and earlier centuries.

8 THE HOME IN THE WOOD

It is an open secret that the wood and its dwellers have suffered a catastrophe: forests have been and continue to be felled to produce worthless paper, aka currencies, and life that arose and depends on the wood for its existence is being destroyed.

The people who once populated the woods have been—except for a few leftover tribes in the rainforest of the Amazon and Indonesia—liquidated and driven into cities. The jungles of Africa are war zones and are plagued by a spreading ebola virus, derived from rotting bush meat. Most forest animals were slaughtered long ago in order to accumulate capital (trophies of elephant tusks, heads of giraffes, rhinoceros horns) and support artists who herald Resurrection of the dead by making Faberge Easter eggs and call Jesus Christ Ronald McDonald.

Though Hitler’s Auschwitz was a horror and Stalin’s gulags no less, Belgian King Leopold II’s deeds in the Congo (enslavement to work by chopping off millions of hands) are deliberately forgotten. The exclamation of the director of a Congo death camp, one Kurtz: “The horror, the horror!” in Joseph Conrad’s novel “Heart of Darkness” remains the best summary of what Europeans calls an era of Enlightenment.

While city dwellers are taught that farmers were freed from slavery and slavery has been abolished, fact remains that long before the poisons produced by Monsanto, a field of wheat enslaved the land and mind of humankind as no wild berry ever did. Weep as much as we may, those who till the land with plough shares are as destructive as woodcutters’ chainsaws that kill the wood for the sake of raising wheat.

It was different when the wood and not some ‘burg’ (fort or castle) was humankind’s chief protector from violence. Contrary to propaganda by city dwellers such as the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who described life in the country as: “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”, we used to have reports (perhaps unwitting) that described life in the wood as “Paradise”.

‘Para + dise’ (para = over and above; dise = garden/ orchard) describes a garden in the wood. Among the last of Westerners to understand this was the English 12^th century outlaw Robin Hood, who after his return from the Crusades discovered that he had been dispossessed of his wood by the Sheriff of Nottingham.

The most recent descendant of Robin Hood was the English outlaw Ned Ludd, the alleged leader of the Luddite rebellion (1811-1816). Ned Ludd*, as free as he was a fiction of the imagination of a populist people driven to desperation, took to robbing townspeople to feed the men, women, and children of the land. The stories of Robin Hood and Ned Ludd—as presented in our dictionaries—are examples of how people of the city are faking and romanticizing the violent histories behind the names of long forgotten countryside heroes.

*Ludd is an old English word for people who were self-employed weavers. The word ‘ludd’ or ‘rude’ remains in use in such European countries as Germany, where the word is known as ‘Leute’; Latvian: ‘ļaudis’; and Russian: ‘liudi’. The last time the word was put to serious use was in England at the beginning of the 19^th century, when we meet it in ‘Luddites’, people who rebels against Industrial society. The Ludds were replaced by a Latinized ‘populace’, which word is derived from the country people’s description of city population as ‘fofu-lace or those who know how to eat only with the help of a fork (folk).

Currently the greatest outrage against wood and land is perpetrated by the Chinese government, which plans to build mega cities, which will result in as deadly catastrophes as have ever been known.
