THE DEATH OF 1st CHRISTIANITY (1)

We are told by the consensual historians of the West and East that in 1240 Kiev was captured by the Mongols of Ghegis Khan [John (possibly Angus) the King]. Russian mathematician and historian Anatoly Fomenko disagrees, and argues that the Mongols were never plentiful enough to make an invasion.

My own view agrees with Fomenko, but for a different reason.

In my view the Mongols were invented by the Russian Orthodox Church to cover up the fact that it had accepted the Western version of Christianity. In fact, the Mongol invasion was a continuation of the invasion that was  begun by Western un with the so-called 4th Crusade (1204), which mysteriously stopped at the gates of Byzantium and did not continue on to Jerusalem as the organizers of the Crusade had first told.

The Christianity reigning in Kiev and Eastern Europe as a whole before 1204 and 1240 was forced underground and little by little over the next several centuries destroyed.

Let us remember the Crusade of 1208 against the Cathars (?Bogomils) in Languedoc, now France, and Yersika, now Latvia. These events were not new enterprises, but a continuation of the 1204 attack on Byzantium, which thereafter was renamed Constantinople. In southern France and the Baltics, too, the old or first Christianity was liquidated in favor of one invented by the West [with considerable help from one called St. Augustine and many other paid agents (Bishop Albert in Livonia being one of them)].

The ‘hereticism’ according to the consensual establishment (the boyars and princes with their lobbyist the priests and various specnaz groups of monks known as Holy Orders) came as ‘hereticism’ by way of the East, from Iran and Syria, and were known as Asian Manicheans, Neo-Manicheans, Massalians, Patarenes, Dualists, and more.

As for who these ‘heretics’ were in actuality, we may discover by taking a closer look at the name Patarenes. In fact, this group was known in then Livonia as ‘Pastaljāņi’ or later ‘Pastalnieki’. Even today, anyone who is long on his or her prayers is said to be saying ‘Pahtari’. The name ‘pastala’ in Latvian means a primitive form of a ‘shoe’ cut from pig leather http://www.kasjauns.lv/galerijas/pastala_by_linda_leen/peleka_pastala.jpg . It is still sold as a souvenir item in Riga to tourists. The nearest use today of the pastala is as a ballerina shoe, with the difference that it has a hardened toe.

The manner in which the name of ‘pastala’ found its way in the name of the Patarenes is when the consonant L began to be pronounced as an R. Thus, former Amsteldam is now known as Amsterdam, and ‘pastala’ became the root for ‘Pastarene’, aka the Traveling or Wandering weaver, aka the Wandering Jew—Ahasverus. Weaving, a necessary art in those days, was adapted by the Pastelenes in Livonia and elsewhere as their mobile tradesmark; it opened many doors to them and their Christian or Christian King John’s message.

Due to the dogmatic pressures of the Lutheran Church, the Latvians to this day do not connect one of their most sacred folk relics, the belt from Lielvarde https://www.google.lv/search?q=Lielvardes+josta&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=ldBPU-muL4nnywO3kIDACw&ved=0CCgQsAQ&biw=1093&bih=426 , as the work of the Pastarenes or Bogomils.

The 4th or was it the 1st Crusade(?) was a political movement on behalf of the elites that lasted a very long time. Thus, the 1240 invasion of Kiev by the ‘Mongols’ and the 1360 convocation of the Bulgarian Church Council, the latter (‘Orthodox Christianity’) especially aimed to condemn Judaism and Bogomilism, which appear to have had close contacts at that time. The hold on Bulgaria of the First Christianity was strong and thus especially abhorrent to the elites from the West.

The strength of the Bogomils arose from the fact that it had roots in the indigenous population—then still mostly people of the wood. For example, the Synodicon of the Tsar Boril describes Bogomils thusly*: “…those who on the 24th of June, the birth of John the Baptist [I read it as ‘Ian the Basil’] practice magic and gather fruits and that night perform foul mysteries like the pagan [pa-yan] rites.”

The 24th of June marks the date of the summer solstice, and it is still celebrated by the Latvians (as Jāņu diena) and southern Slavs as ‘Ivani deni’.

Because the 2nd Christianity of the elites (then called Catholics, now fully secularized as Globalists) eventually prevailed over the 1st Christians, the latter became increasingly identified with pagans (pa-yans), with magic, and popular superstitions. Indeed, there came a time when Bogomils lost all leadership and their most important rite became a ‘folk festival’.

As for the leadership of the Bogomils, most of them met their fate on a pile of burning wood. This was the first ideologically motivated act of deforestation. It is from this time on that the People of  Byzantium and now the entire world were subject to taxation of the State at its will.

Eso’s Chronicles 312 / 11  
A Suicidal Civilization

THE IDEMNITY OWED BY THE WEST


President Vladimir Putin of Russia has described the collapse of the Soviet Union as the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century. I agree. The creation of the Soviet Union force me to buy four tickets to the witness stand to witness that tragedy: the loss of lives of four relatives, beginning with my father, maternal grandfather, a first cousin and her father.

Did you, Vladimir, know that my concurrence with you is likely to be seconded by millions of others who lost the lives of their mothers, fathers, siblings, and relatives, friends, not to mention our childhoods, to events of the Revolution and post-Revolutionary times?

Why do I count on such support? There are several answers:

1.    We are (in our pre-industrialist hearts) communists (and peasants and people of the wooed) in the sense that we believe that a civilization is justified in its existence only if it is egalitarian;*

2.    We believe that the potential of the USSR was seriously inhibited by the Total Peace program, in effect Total Militarism, of UFSA (United Federalist States of America) and the West. The militarist agenda of the fascist federalism nullified the sacrifice of lives by our elatives and attempted to dismiss the pain of those who were forced to bear it;

3.    We believe the tragedy issquared , because none of the surviving leaders of the establishment of the USSR saw fit to sacrifice their lives as an atonement for the lives they were compelled to sacrifice to reach the first step toward the goal of Communism. The failure of the Bolshevik cadre of Lenin’s vanguard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanguardism --to bear a comparable sacrifice to that of the people—was of no lesser magnitude than the one exacted by capitalist princes from those they compelled to gather them wealth, yatsak, and give them fuck.

4.    Fascism at its elemental level is a group come together for the sole benefit of its own only; thus it can be a group as small as the smallest tribe of aborigines, as large as a  Federation of States, as circumscribed as any agency, political party (whether small or come to a majority), or as the Communist Party of the USSR that stayed segregated from the People, of which you, Vladimir Vladimirovich, were a part, and, I trust, remain a part for the sake of correcting its unforgivable errors.**

5.    The last ( above) is why we second your criticisms, Vladimir, of those who wish to destroy Russia.  However, to keep faith solely on the basis of Reason or your present rationale for the State is to fall victim to your enemies.***

6.    The recommendation that Ukraine write a new constitution in which Crimea and other regions become sovereign and independent of a centralized fascist power positioned in Kiev is a sensible one—with one but. How do we guarantee that the People keep faith in their government, when no guarantee has yet worked as promised? http://voiceofrussia.com/2014_02_13/Ukrainian-regions-prepare-draft-constitution-3832/

The step that returns governments to becoming self-sacrificial institutions is one that cannot be escaped no matter how clever the lawyers employed in writing the Constitution are. People faced with a nuclear war (which means not only their annihilation, but possible annihilation of life on the planet) cannot afford to rely on Reason to keep Total Peace, which presumably will find Peace to be a Deterrent of continuous militarization and armament as has been the manner of our unstable ‘peace’ for three-quarters of a century.

The Federalization of States per se is no solution, President Putin!, but a path that leads to a straight jacket—enforced by ‘yatsak’, (a ‘skin tax’ that in the process of being collected murders life) once gathered by bands of hunters, now exercised by militarized banking institutions.

* (This footnote a repeat from previous blog.) Before God was divided into two halves, he was all of one piece, as he remains to this day in the Indonesian God known by the name of Mangalabulan. The two halves of the Western God, however, presented the mystics with the difficulty of a bipolar God; which is why they eventually eliminated the negative pole, the Devil, the poor man’s divinity, and made God identical with wealth for nobles only. The elimination of God of a Dualist nature in the West occurred as recently as the 13th century in the Catholic Crusades (1208) against Languedoc and Livonia. This also occurred in the so-called Great Schism between the Eastern and Western versions of Christianity. Those interested in following further the nature of God as that of a Dual being, may wish to pay especial attention to the horse as a ‘divining’ figure, re, joiner of the two halves—not only in Indonesia, but also Livonia. The slaughter of the Devil (aka Communist) is memorably documented in the documentary “The Act of Killing”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHGbb64YxAk .
** Unforgivable error = Destruction of God as a bipolar presence; or as explained in above footnote—as a poor man’s, a peasants, and a ‘communist’s God.
*** Victim of ‘your’ enemies = The succumbing of he Eastern Orthodox Church to that of Western Catholic Church at the time of the Great Schism. The Eastern Church once had its John Basil, but denied him in order to replace him with a Catholic Jesus Christ who never was.

Eso’s Chronicles 243/ 29
Addendum 5—Ecce Kiev, Ukraine?
© Eso A.B.

When the stock market bubble of 1929 corrected itself, it fell 48%. I have heard say that when the present QE caused bubble corrects itself, it will fall by 40%. I believe that it is too optimistic an estimate by far. So, to set the reader up to be receptive to my ideas, I suggest the reader take 32 minutes and view the following clip with Grant Williams, dubbed an investment expert. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-11-30/grant-williams-flushing-impurities-qe-system . Though Mr. Grant’s perspective meshes with mine, I believe that in spite of his ‘realistic’ assessment of the present investment climate, he is far too optimistic; which means that I expect the economic climate in the world to deteriorate by some 80%. This of course means that our future will not look anything like what most of us know as the past in our lifetimes and that many of us, in fact, have no future to look forward to.

As I have been pointing out through many blogs, the foundations of the coming disaster were first constructed by the ‘liberalist’ princes about a thousand and a little more years ago, originating with the Viking robber barons, who—came fall and winter time—left their abodes in harsh northern Europe en masse to go Viking (wading) south—down the Volga, the Dniepr, the Don, Danube, and other Europeans rivers flowing south. As these Goths went south, they not only plundered, but took captive many sacred kings and held their life for a ransom. In time, the ransom evolved into a system of taxation, which held up the human population for ransom to whoever did the tax ordering and collecting.

If—as I theorize and suggest—the time before the Vikings was what Western anthropologists call the ‘dream time’ of the East and the West https://www.google.lv/search?q=aboriginal+dreamtime&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=FgSbUrPAJ4PPhAeCw4HgCQ&ved=0CEoQsAQ&biw=1093&bih=415 , a name first used for the space-time of the Australian aborigines, this ‘dream time’ (perhaps also ‘sweet sleep time’) was interrupted with a spear point thrust to the sleepers’ throats and, in case we moved and protested, actually thrust into our ribcage.

By today the descendants of this dream time have discovered and built by traveling down a highway known as Colonial Times another ‘dream time’ called America; and youths of Eastern Europe, including the Ukraine, riot for more of it http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25173719 in great numbers with a great number of politicians supporting them. The demonstrators in Kiev, Ukraine increasingly look like Black Friday consumer rioters at a Walmart in the U.S.

The rioters who are rioting today in the Ukraine and elsewhere, are--whether they know it or not--rioting in support of the violent tactics of the Vikings, re: violence to remove the peace, calm, and in-the-wood environment for that of the consumer product trashed deserts of modern cities and surrender the future of our planet for the que sera sera of an opium pipe dream.

For a brief look at the history of the city: it began as a temple in the wood: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2252364/The-lost-churches-Russia-The-abandoned-wooden-buildings-left-forgotten-forests.html Sometimes other buildings began to accrue around the church, perhaps of people seeking the protection of the gods on whose behalf the temples-churches were built, perhaps as convenient meeting places for men and monks about to defend their homeland. In the images of the abandoned Russian churches at the link above, we clearly see that their builders perceived them as existing in dream time. Indeed, the dream time (without being acknowledged as such) continues to exist at the very center of today’s Moscow as part of the Kremlin complex: Pokrovsky or St. Basil’s Cathedral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Basil's_Cathedral .

Unfortunately, it did not take long before ambitious princes perceived the tactical advantages of a centralized place, re temple, fortified temple, castle, walled city, until today the city, having deforested its surround, is protected by the fact that it is a humongous entity of stone, bricks, concrete, and glass. As Paul Virillio says: “…the city has replaced the nation;”* moreover, the city is not only killing the nation (Riga in Latvia—despite its shrinking population--is a good example) and devouring our biological planet.

Now the progression from temple in the wood to a megalopolis may not make any sense, except when we realize that its momentum comes from its violence and ability to force the biological countryside (including people residing in it) to its will. If we take the American spy agency NSA as an example, the city today has progressed to the point that it can extend nodes of itself into even the wood or field http://nsabackups.com/about/_images/pg_hi_res/nsa_aerial.jpg , and use these ‘hidden’ nodes to invade the last abode of the wood and the wild: the subjective mind of human beings and cause its elimination by subjecting it to terror by exposure that is as  powerful, aka deadly as the eye of the Holy Trinity.
