Eso’s Chronicles 242/ 28
Addendum 5—Ecce Russia III!
© Eso A.B.

Some readers may think that I am prejudiced against the Catholic Church, because I have made a number of disparaging remarks regarding it. However, all such statements on my part should be read from the perspective of judging the Church to be a deliberate creation of Western, especially Frankish occupiers of the northwest regions of Europe, who proceeded to create a secular device with which to entrap and ensnare a population unaware of the corruption of early princely courts.

And though there exists conclusive evidence that the Catholic Church deliberately exterminated early Christians who populated a world then not yet demarcated and divided among the princes and barons, once the original bloodbath was over and a loss of memory of events had set in, there were many Catholics who are to be counted among the truly religious, though perhaps not completely absolved of guilt, because the new fangled theology was originally enforced with such vehemence, because it brought with it taxation, and the Eastern Christians were opposed to it. Re:

Matthew 22: 15-22. When asked whether taxes should be paid to Caesar, Jesus asked whose image and inscription was on the coin. "Caesar's," came the answer---The Lord then said, "Then give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God" (Mt. 22:21).

This passage of the New Testament is generally interpreted as a fair answer to an admittedly sensitive situation. Unfortunately, both the question and answer skirt the fact that originally the people were not taxed money (because they had none), but they were taxed the lives of their reindeer and other herds for the sake of the animals’ pelts. In short, to pay taxes was originally associated with killing, which is probably also the beginning of meat eating on a large scale, because the people of the woods did not herd their animals for the sake of their meat, but to benefit from the milk of the cows of reindeer, horses, and buffalo. Such meat-eating as occurred was as a result of sacrifice of the castrated males of the herd. The dawn of human consciousness is closely associated with the killing of animals who had become close to their keepers, and such rituals as described in the following link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_worship have little or nothing to do with ‘bear worship’, but are about holding life sacred.

The device of creating a ‘new’ religion is comparable to the corruption currently rocking the Vatican http://rt.com/news/pope-francis-capitalism-tyranny-324/ with regard to the investigation of its bank. The scandal associated with the last has much to do butler http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25121121 of a now retired Pope and which alleges that a number of members of the curia (civil service) had organized their own ‘little borgias’ and the Pope did not know how to cope with them. As the new Pope Francis is said to have stated: "The court is the leprosy of the papacy." Indeed, the events behind the stage of any theatre or ritual are what have forced more than one honest sacred person of early governments to lose their heads. If it were possible to make a similar investigation of the ‘court’ of ‘little borgias’ in Washington, it is likely to produce a scandal of cataclysmic proportions.

While Paul Virilio, the French thinker, who I quote in the preceding blogs, points to the military as the leprosy of many a government [re (p173): “….the nondevelopment of Russian civilian society… gives the military free reign….”],  the tragedy of the phenomenon is that it has resulted not only in the fall due to exhaustion of the Soviet Union, but the loss of what was its most valuable ingredient—that of offering the uncommitted world an alternative society to fascist capitalism.

Unfortunately, President Putin, the head of a stabilized post-Soviet successor government, appears to be a whole hog capitalist in a fascist sense. Again Paul Virilio (p189): “Fascists are those who go to the end of their aspirations. Extreme sports are fascist sports. And a science of the extremes is a fascist science….we are engaged in this kind of delirium. ”

The unspoken ultimatum of President Putin of which I write in blog 241, was stated from the perspective of a ‘fascist delirium’, no doubt driven to it, because Putin did not perceive that an alternative to Capitalism exists in an alternative history and by substituting militaristic and technocratic confrontation with a reinvestigated history, which is likely to discover that the ‘false flag’ of Catholicism and globalization is also a ‘buried flag’.

Needless to say, before President Putin can proceed, he has to take advantage of the recent statement by Patriarch Kirill--the head of the Orthodox Church--that the Church intends to maintain a separation of church and state http://rt.com/politics/patriarch-church-merger-russia-256/. The West is used to accepting such a separation as a consequence of implementing the capitalist agenda, but it was not always so, certainly not in Russia and Europe before the advent of Catholicism, and not always detrimental when it came to the interests of the community. In this regard one may note that Patriarch Kirill, for all his devotion to Orthodoxy, and resistance to Soviet Renovationism, which aimed to inhibit the independence of the Church, is a product of the era of post-schism, which era has accepted the Catholic version of the life of Jesus as dominant, and has to this date refused to reexamine the theological differences brought about as a result of Western Crusades against Jerusalem-Constantinople (1204), and, instead, has acceptance the transference of Jerusalem to Palestine with silence.

To wage a non-violent and successful war against the military alliances of the West, it is necessary for Russia not only to reexamine history as rewritten and then exposed to forgetting by the Catholic Church and its unholy alliance with a capitalist, ‘democratic’, and urbanized West; but it is also necessary to reexamine much of the literature produced under the dominance of Westernized theology, as this writer has already done with “Oedipus Rex Rewritten”, and resetting the context of Latvian folk literature from that of peasant oral history to that of highly developed oral literature, not to mention perspective on Christianity.

Eso’s Chronicles 240/ 26
Addendum 3—Ecce Russia!
© Eso A.B.

While many pundits claim a victory for Russia in the instance of the recent  Iranian nuclear deal http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/11/29/337246/sweden-welcomes-iransextet-nuclear-deal/ , and Thierry Meyssan of Voltairnet http://www.voltairenet.org/article181239.html even claims a victory for Russia’s Vladimir Putin, this writer has a different perspective.

While, yes, the fish that is Russia did flash the scales that line its belly, but it did so only, I am guessing, at the expense of making an extreme threat. The West, led by the U.S. and NATO, judged the threat a measure of Russia’s desperation and agreed among themselves that a cornered rat will bite the cat, and decided to wait and fight (if ever) a nuclear war another time.

All things considered, though economically weakened by the excesses of its bankster princes, the West still has many things working for it: most of all, the West is still in charge of history, a history that it has managed to create, convert it into a trend, and that trend is, as yet, under its control—even if it is a lie and will not last for ever.

I have outlined my perception of this history (based on Anatoly Fomenko’s perspective of the chronology of history) throughout many previous blogs. I see this history as beginning with the expulsion of the former Franks (Vikings before that) from the Black Sea area and resettling themselves in the northwest of Europe, generally the region of the now so-called Benelux countries. Once having established for themselves a footing, the immediate descendants of the Franks (while the memory of the past was still fresh and immediate), resolved to try to capture and transfer the glories of the Byzantine Empire from its Eastern capital to the West. This remains one of the ‘secrets’ of Western history to this day.

One of the major gambits of the Franks (later the French) was to seize upon early Christianity and convert it to a Western model. This was a literary and military undertaking.

The literary undertaking was to rewrite the theology of Eastern Christianity (Sun oriented) and adapt it to the needs of Western Princes, who, after all, were the chief survivors of the expulsion. This was accomplished by replacing the Eastern Pope, once named John Basil (or John Baptist), with one Iasu or Jesus Christ, the latter being turned from Basil, a self-sacrificial leader of a people living for the most part in the still prehistoric wood, into a religious leader of people living in the city which was under the control of princes and feared being buried under the city’s cobblestones. This is how a New Testament replaced the Bible.

The military campaign of the descendants of the Franks-Goths involved making ‘crusades’ against the East, the chief achievement of the crusades being the capture of then Jerusalem, Constantinople, now Istanbul, destroying it as an intellectual and religious centre, thus eliminating its ability to speak for the East.

The pivot point of the above and the age to follow appears to be about the year 1054: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East%E2%80%93West_Schism . Of course, today, this schism is being presented in the West as a schism within the Catholic Church, whereas in fact the Catholic Church is a creation of the Franks or, in a broader perspective, the Goths.

This is why most early Western Europeans were Catholics (early globalists), and why the Catholic military campaigns involved campaigns against the Slavs not only in the southeast of Europe, but east and northeast as well. The latter accounts for the fact that most Poles and Lithuanians remain Catholics to this day; and why the Russian Orthodox Church also follows the Catholic New Testament, which makes most of today’s Christianity of a Western theological, i.e., capitalist, orientation.

Not surprisingly, President Putin worships the Peter the Great, the westernized tsar, and though living in ‘westernized’ Moscow, has a personal preference for St. Petersburg.

I realize that this perspective is dismissed by the West—as one would expect it would be==nevertheless, the perspective is sufficiently credible to invite a reanalysis. Those calling for such a reanalysis are quite sure that the results will agree with the whyfores of their claim, but are presently being criticized as being ‘spurious’ for making the call.

In an age where war has been rendered ‘unwinnable’ due to nuclear weapons and other Weapons of Mass Destructison (WMDs)—which is why President Putin’s ultimatum to the West ‘worked’ (the bankster princes do not mind sacrificing the public in wars, but do not wish to sacrifice themselves).  For all the reasons Putin’s gambit worked, this does not mean that the fighting of wars is at an end.

As Paul Virilio, a French thinker, writes in his book “Pure War” (1983 & 2008), while WMD’s make ‘deterrence’ of war essential and is the cause of the drive by the West for “absolute unity” (p177, 2008 paperback), this unity (globalization) is “…but an exterminating unity, one which is accomplished precisely in nondevelopment.” In short, globalization today is responsible for destroying civil society, and it is this destruction that begs for and justifies a continuation of war.

So, how to we wage a war without committing suicide? President Putin has no idea; neither has President Obama. Excepting, we know that they will be expending enormous sums on military armaments for ages to come—unless the public (whatever remains of civil society) forces them into a position where they have no other options but to surrender. I believe that such an option exists. The war will take an enormous intellectual effort, because technically it amounts to lifting a locomotive from one track to another.

I will touch on the possible answers in the next blog.
