A Brief History of Prehistory 2

Hieros Gamos means Holy Marriage, and ‘hiermalgamy’ means a forced or unholy marriage by secular authorities of people to governments through the act of taxation or other violent and unnatural join-tings or divorces.

Our secular religion began with the threat by armed men to rape women, whose wombs thereupon contracted in fear and gave birth to autistic (and psychotic) children. This religion of govRsmnt, a one legged wonder or monopod, then moved on to impose the first tax which was the fur tribute or tax; which created an early governing class of ‘germans’* or a princely class; who then deposed what was left of the sacred King (2015 is the 800^th anniversary of the Magna Carta) and gave birth to ‘democracy’ in England by deposing King John I; then created a Middle Class by way of the French Revolution and guillotined King Louis XVI of France, the last of the kings worth noting; and by way of the Industrial Age and imprisonment of humankind in factories then led to today’s America, which having destroyed democracy is about to destroy privacy to better nuclearize Eurasia and establish a city called Monopodopolis for oligarchs.

While artificial intelligence (AI) is not a new subject, its dangers are only now being discussed with some seriousness and apprehension. Even so, the fear element all too often gets pushed aside, as if to say, well, we will deal with it when fear strikes us (scientists) personally. This brings the question: What is our tolerance and when comes its breaching point?

As we are told through the link, the future belongs to the quantum computer, and when we have it, we will be able to solve problems which otherwise will take us thousands of years. Thus, as if obviously, it appears that AI has many advantages over the computational abilities of our ordinary brain. Such a statement, however, is true only if we are locked into our very own circle of perceptions and thoughts. This is what Jungian pshychology calls or likens to the uroboros—not, however, devouring ourselves (though that, too), but sooner locked in on ourselves, as a married couple is locked together by a wedding ring, which forms a circle that cannot escape itself as a Mobius strip can. This dilemma of the married couple was known by the ancients, and sometimes played an important role in mythology. For example, in the story of Cadmus , the founder of Thebes, which plays (unbeknownst to most psychologists) an important role in the story of Oedipus.

However, the linked-to story tells only a half of the story of King Cadmus. I suspect this is because by the time the story was told, the mind of western man was no longer a free flowing imagination, but an orthodox presumption, because it was manipulated and put in the service of elite, which was afraid of imagination. Here then is the resolution of the uroboros’s dilemma:

While the dragon is devouring itself, it is under a delusion that it is resolving its dilemma. However, as soon as it has devoured itself and, in effect, has chewed its way to its face, it can devour itself no longer. At this point, it becomes pure hunger or, if you will, rage to become fat. In the Far East, this face was known as the Face of Glory or Kirti mukha. The desire to devour itself or lock itself into oblivion still exists (see ‘fat’ America), so the question arises: How is it to put an end to itself?

There is but one answer: it must become reborn as a twin of itself. In the Cadmus myth, this rebirth is accomplished by Cadmus sowing the teeth of the dragon into Earth, whence arise an equal number of paired warriors. By throwing a stone between them (note: not at them), Cadmus gets them to fight with each other until only five remain. These ‘five’ are the five fingers of one remaining hand. The lesson: Thebes is built by Cadmus with one hand. The myth continues by way of the two sons of King Oedipus (Eteocles and Polynices ), who kill each other at the Seventh  Gate of Thebes, where the philosophers and wise men meet. The vicious circle is also represented by the necklace that is presented to Harmonia at her wedding to Cadmus. When doubled upon itself, the necklace forms number 8—it can enhance as well as choke. Furthermore, it is represented by Europa, who clings to the horns of the white bull that stole her away from her father’s, King Agenor’s, house. Today we see these horns, Europa and Eurasia, meet in the Ukraine, where their clash will—according to the prophecy—leave behind a man with only one hand.

I have strayed or paradolied my way far from what began as a discussion of Artificial Intelligence and its facilitator the ‘quantum’ computer. My reason for straying is based on my perception that AI is no solution for the slowness of the human brain, which slowness is a consequence of Nature perceiving AI as a dangerous tool, one that has the potential of killing it. This danger is also perceived by the physicists Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk who have issued a warning about the dangers.

But if ‘Nature’ denies us AI, does it also deny us the knowledge of proof of cause? The answer may lie in the fact that no matter how superior a quantum computer may be to the human brain, it does not have a subjective mind or anything that resembles a living memory such as dreams are made of. The absence of the subjective is the floorboard of the coffin lids on which Quantums dance with Quarks and AI never reaches the joys of love.

*’to german’ or ‘to germain’—I derive from the a verb (in my Latvian language) ‘ghereht’ (ģērēt), which means to skin an animal, and the executor being known as ‘ghermanis’l. This likely original meaning of ‘german’ was edited out of the name, and all that is left are some distant associations as, for example, ‘its germaine to him’ (or some other being or thing). Of course, we conveniently forget that our skin is the most obvious and living part of us. A near synonym of to ‘ghereht’ is ‘shkhehreht’ (šķērēt), which means to scissor. The latter retains something of the onomatopoeic sense of the verb ‘to skin’. The conclusion is that in the distant past, some people were called ‘germans’, because they were skinners (perhaps unwilling ones) of animals, which were the tribute or tax to be paid to the ruling class, which perhaps why habituation to this unpleasant ‘job’  is the reason why early ‘capitalism’ came to them ‘naturally’. Name  of Germaine:  http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=germain also impressed the French, which may be why ‘to french’ is likely to make us think of ‘French kissing’, which suggests that the original meaning was not making love, but the very opposite: the parting of lips with the knife of a tongue as in an insult.

How Ivan Became Peter 1
© Translation Eso A.B.

Sergey Ivanov the head of Russian Presidential Administration believes that he knows best what ails religion and the world, both.  In a recent statement to the media, see link http://rt.com/politics/213511-ivanov-religion-crisis-russian/ , he blames the West for the religious intolerance shown by the violent ‘muslim’ factions known as or associated with so-called IS (Islamic State).

To those of us who follow the alternate chronology of history opposed to that promoted by the West (and by the Russian establishment) and most recently promoted by the Russian mathematician turned historian Anatoly Fomenko (he decisively proved that the Russian novel “Quiet Flows the Don” was not authored by Mikhail Aleksandrovich Sholokhov., but Fyodor Kryukov , a Cossak and anti-Bolshevik, who died in 1920 of typhoid fever), Mr. Ivanov is misstating the case. Though minimally correct, Mr. Ivanov stretches the truth to accommodate the views of the post-Soviet orthodox elite of the Russian government, thus accommodating the Soviet (largely Western) view of Russian history.

Russian history (so far as History before the 16^th century can be called history) was equal to being the history of the world until the ‘Great Schism’, which (according to ‘history’ subject to western catholitization and/or globalization processes) occurred in 1054. As the link explains, the Great Schism initiates a history that has both an Eastern and Western perspective. This perspective becomes wholy a Western perspective following the reign of Peter (so-called) The Great.

It was at the time of Tsar Peter that the East was compelled to recognize the methods of violence practiced by the West (Holy Roman Empire et al) as superior to the opposition offered it by the yet prehistoric culture predominant in the East. While violence was not unknown in the East, by comparison to the West, it was still under the influence of restraints offered by the relatively nonviolent culture practiced by the nomadic reindeer herders who once defined the life style of Europe and Asia, but which life style was increasingly pushed by the West to the East, and which border at Peter’s time was defined by what we today know as the East of the EU as defined by NATO, re: Finland, the Baltics, Poland, western half of the Ukraine, and Belarus. Indeed, it is for this reason why Ukraine today is still remembered as meaning “border land” and why the Ashkenazy Jews until recently spoke ‘Yiddish’, a vernacular of German, a language with roots in the Frankish people living at the time in the areas around the Black Sea. This is also whence the so-called ‘Volga Germans’, who at a later date were concocted by Tsarina Catherine tGrt (1762) to be German peasant immigrants, an unbelievable number of who (15 million) were said to have been sent to the Gulags by Stalin.

The event known as the Great Schism was a proto-World War, which separated the East and from West, the latter arising from the Germanic Franks, who were driven from Byzantium westward, and left the area about the Danube, Dniepr,  Don, and Volga deltas http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/euriv.htm for the deltas of the Elbe and Rhine in the northwest of what is known as Europe. In other words, Yiddish did not arise from German, but the German language arose from its proto-language—Yiddish.

The Great Schism resulted in a great confusion of peoples. What had once been an area of the Balts (now Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, Western Ukrainians, Belarusians) were contended over by the Franks and the Slavs. All, except the Belarusians came decisively under the control of western Catholicism, which was spearheaded by the Holy Roman Empire, made up of proto-Germanic states and princi[paliies or baronies.

For all that, the post-Soviet era, offers the same have a chance to reincorporate themselves into their ‘prehistoric’ entity. Unfortunately, the very idea is blocked by the superior methods of verbal and physical violence now become the legacy of the U.S., which it returns to Europe under the false flag of NATO. One need only mention the recent revival of Swedish Imperialism and total vacuity with regards to history by the current Latvian Foreign Minister Rinkevics (Latvia soon to chair the Presidency of the Council of the European Union)  and Lituanian President Gribauskaite.

Still, not all hope is lost, as the imminent bankruptcy and non-repayable debt of the world’s corporate capitalist economies (said to be 303 trillion dollars by the U.S. alone) suggest that the only way out of their dead-end creationism (by way of elitist and ‘scientist’  governments) is a return to life in the wood where non-payment of taxes recreates the religion and civilization stolen from the Balts over a thousand years ago.

The institutionalization of taxation, which I contend, brought about the Great Schism in Christianity—dividing it in an eastern anti-taxation vs a western pro-taxation branch, squeezed and decimated the in-between Baltic region, which came under the influence if not in all cases under the occupation of the Holy Roman Empire.

We can trace the Fourth Crusade (1204), the Swedish led Great Northern War (1700-1721), the Napoleonic  invasion of Russia (1812), Hitler’s Nazi attack (1941-1945), and the current NATO aggression  (2014-..) to the above described geopolitical reality Unfortunately the burial of historical events by western Christian persecution of historical truth continues to this day, and prevents the post-Baltic people of taking advantage of a unique historical opportunity of uniting,  and presenting to the East and West and effective geopolitical barrier to a conflict now more than eight hundred years in duration.
