Peggy Noonan:  Bob Dylan, A Genius Among Us

A commentary by

R.E. Prindle

 

Reference: http://idynamo.blog/2010/01/22/exhuming-bob-23a...

Today Peg celebrates the release of Bob Dylan’s new effort titled Rough and Rowdy Ways.  The one that contains Bob’s ridiculous seventeen minute opus:  I Am Multitudes. The title commemorates the Bobber’s Hillbilly background.  Bob’s title is taken from the great Hillbilly singer and songwriter Jimmie Rodgers’ wonderful song My Rough And Rowdy Ways.

One might say that Jimmie wrote Bob’s life or, at least, Bob patterned his life after the song.

 

For years and years I’ve rambled

Drank my wines and gambled

But one day I thought I’d settle down.

I got a perfect lady…

But somehow I can’t forget my good old rambling ways,

I may be rough, I may be wild,

I may be tough and countryfied

But I can’t give up my rough and rowdy ways.

 

A tip of the hat to Sara, that perfect lady, and that is the story of Bob’s life.  The truth of the matter is that Bob has always been a Hillbilly singer and songwriter.  He transmogrified  the Hillbilly from ‘weird old America’ as Greil Marcus would have it, into a contemporary form.

Dylan’s pre-NYC days are grounded purely in Hillbilly or what has been sanitized into Country and Western.  When Hillary Clinton speaks of ‘deplorables’ these are the people she means, good ole Southern country boys.

Dylan has always been a con artist.  He needed a way in and he found it in Woody Guthrie Hillbilly garb.  He wrote some hokey protest songs to make it in the New York folk scene.  He was quite the hero to Pete Seeger, the uncrowned king of folk.  But, as Bob has said:  That whole folk scene was just a shuck.  You have to find your way in where the opening is available.

Once in Bob soon found his way out:  The Paul Butterfield Blues Band playing electric Blues.  Bob went electric and destroyed all Seeger’s illusions.  As the great Andy Warhol so astutely realized Bob went from political protest to personal protest disguised as pseudo-philosophical ruminations.  This was epitomized in his LP Another Side of Bob Dylan.  This was the crossover LP to Bringing It All Back Home.  That is Bob’s unhappy childhood in Hibbing, Minnesota out there on the edge of the universe as we know it.

The Bobber was a fraud.  Beginning with Bringing It All Back Home he wrote of his personal experience from Hibbing to NYC into enigmatic lyrics that sounded deep and meaningful.  This style may be epitomized by his song Like A Rolling Stone. The song is simply about his attempt to seduce Edie Sedgwick.

During this period he was in a battle with Andy Warhol to be king of Greenwich Village.  Both he and Warhol were contesting for the hand of a nothing kind of girl named Edie Sedgwick.  Like A Rolling Stone’s meaning is about this contest.  I have written extensively about this period and refer the interested reader to the link at the head of this article.  There is also a 23b.

Now, all these songs from this period terminating in the double LP concern Andy and Edie.  Nothing more and they are written in perfectly transmogrified Hillbilly with touch of Negro country blues which in fact is a variation of Hillbilly country blues.  So, Bob here has brought it all back home talking about himself.  He has dissociated himself from the shuck and jive of NYC folk.

Bob met his perfect lady, Sara Lowndes, he took her from husband, married her, fathered a brood and attempted to settle down.  Even took to looking like a middle class Jewish boy.  But, he couldn’t forget his rough and rowdy ways, went back to the road and has been the itinerant rambling troubadour ever since.

Peg Noonan calls him a genius.  I would say his transmogrification  of Hillbilly music is indeed a feat of sheer genius.  His genius stops there and ended with his dissociation from the Warhol period of his life.  Bob was a full participant in the drug life of NYC which during the early sixties sunk into an amphetamine haze.  That scene burned out beginning in 1966 when Bob  and Sara united and left the city for Woodstock.

Andy was nearly assassinated in 1968 which caused the downfall of the epoch.  Andy was actually dead for ninety seconds but was resuscitated and lived for several years although  it was Andy 2.0 and not the real thing.  Nothing goes on forever.

Dylan rambled through the Wasteland for a few decades after resuming his rough and rowdy ways.  He too had died, figuratively, at the same time Andy did.  The Bobber has never been the same.  His chief subsequent contribution has ben the recording of ‘old weird’ Hillbilly music.  His three record set trying to fill Frank Sinatra’s shoes was risible.

I follow Bob’s career because I’m fascinated by his ability to keep an able but mediocre career alive while becoming recognizable to succeeding generations while remaining an idol to Peg and others.   I bless the child who has his own and the Bobber certainly has his.

The period from 1492 to the career of Joseph Oppenheimer, known to history as the Jud Suss, or Jew Suss, in the middle of the eighteenth century was a terrible time for Jews. Either expelled from or unwelcome everywhere in Europe the tribe was truly wandering in the desert without an effective central authority or direction.

It was the time of the many messiahs as any Jew with the gall could present himself as the long awaited one.  None got very far in their impersonation except one and that one was a man called Sabbatai Zevi.  Zevi worked in the Ottoman Empire to which many Jews had migrated from Spain.  This was during the seventeenth century c. 1650.

One should note the date because European society had been developing rapidly and freeing itself from the Judaeo-Catholic  incubus. Entering a period called the Enlightenment. When the Turks captured Constantinople, now Istanbul, numerous Greek scholars fled West reinforcing Classical learning that strengthened scientific development among the Aryans and among the Aryans only.  Early experimentation, the Alchemists, was deeply mixed with the supernatural but by the time of the Enlightenment taking form in the seventeenth century the European mind was rapidly developing a scientific consciousness.

The Jewish mind however was till immured in the supernatural and magical.  Indeed, it has never left.  Thus, while the Aryan mind became objective, looking outward from the mind, the Jewish mind remained subjective, as it is today, looking inwardly.  Thus as late as the sixteenth century Rabbi Loewe is credited with creating the Golem.  The Golem was a stone monster created to be an avenging angel of the Jews.  In the time honored manner Rabbi Loewe gathered some mud together, muttered a magical formula, then himself being a master magician, breathed life into its nostrils and, voila!- The Golem.

Which is not to say that the supernatural had vacated the Aryan mind as yet, but that by the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the spectre of the supernatural had been brought under control and objectivity owned the field.

Thus, the messiah, Sabbatai Zevi conquered the Jewish mind establishing himself universally in Europe.  The day of redemption then seemed at hand.  The date fixed for the redemption was in the year 1666.  One of the many, many dates over the centuries when the messiah was to appear.  The year 1000 had also been a year of the Great Hope.

At any rate, the Jews armed for a repeat of the Roman Revolution of 70-135 AD.  Many Jews sold all their goods and indulged themselves in various follies as no money would be needed in the after-redemption.  Throughout Europe the Jews armed themselves in readiness to commit genocide on the Europeans.  They awaited only the word from Zevi.  Sabbatai wasn’t the soul of confidence while the Sultan having gotten word of Zevi’s pretensions sent him an invitation to attend him at the palace.

Of course Sabbatai obliged the Sultan.  Then things began to sour.  The Sultan having plumbed Zevi’s depth offered him a choice, death or conversion to Mohammedanism.  What’s a boy to do in a situation like that?  Sabbatai Zevi swallowed hard then asked in a quavering voice:  Anybody have a spare turban?

Thus the word was out that Sabbatai had become a Moslem ending the threat of a holocaust of Europe.  A Moslem Sultan had inadvertently saved Europe from potential extinction.  But…note the pattern.  Genocide is embedded in Jewish psychology.  It would express itself after the redemption in Russia in 1917.  While knowledge of it has been suppressed the Jews went on a murderous rampage in Russia, Hungary and Germany that was horrendous and disgusting, that being the reason it has been suppressed.  However the Europeans in the West observed and did not forget.  They just didn’t go around announcing:  Never Again!

The failure of the proposed insurrection and Sabbatai’s conversion shattered the Jews.  As is usual in such cases the trauma created new gods as the old ones had failed in their duty.  It was thus that the Hasidic cult came into existence created by a man calling himself the Baal Shem Tov.  He created, not usually is such a situation, an ecstatic religion with a lot howling and jumping around somewhat like the Holy Rollers of the United States.  A scene in the German version of the movie Jud Suss depicts this.  They created the Tzaddic, a man god whom they revered and taxed themselves to provide him with the most luxurious lifestyle.

The Hasids split the Jewish religion as they controlled the South of what would become the Pale of Settlement with the Rabbinic mainstream occupying the North.  From this disaster a sort of messiah named Joseph Frank emerged initiating the Frankist cult to which the future Sigmund Freud adhered.  Freud’s view of the unconscious is little more that Frankism dressed in pseudo-scientific language.

The Frankist ideology was that the redemption would never be realized until the Jews had gotten all the evil out of their system so he encouraged his followers to indulge all their evil impulses until the evil was purged.  Thus Freud urged the removal of inhibitions.

At the same time as the Jews were resettling in England, France and Germany ‘modern’ Western Jews would emerge while the Eastern wing of the Pale of Settlement sunk into a sort of Medieval semi-barbarity from which Zionism and the future of Israel would emerge.

The big man for the reformation of the Western Jews lived and died in the German Duchy of Wurttemberg.  He went by the title of the Jud Suss named Joseph Oppenheimer.  His career occurred about seventy-five years after the failed insurrection and the apostasy of Sabbatai Zevi.

A Second Note On The Works Of George W.M. Reynolds

A Second Note On The Works Of George W. M. Reynolds:  Mary Price, Memoirs Of A Servant Maid

by

R.E. Prindle

 

Reynolds’ novel Mary Price was composed in 1852, the same year as the final chapters of the Second Series of The Mysteries Of The Court Of London written concurrently.  The succeeding generation of writers including Willkie Collins, Anthony Trollope, George Eliot and others were beginning their long careers in the 50s.  The Romantics had made it clear that there was big money in literature.

In the fifties the Romantics still held center stage.  W. Harrison Ainsworth, the historical novelist, who had preceded Reynolds by a few years was the companionable sort liking to have a lot of people around him.  Thus he founded a sort of literary salon or club including the leading lights of his generation including Charles Dickens.

By 1852 and the success of The Mysteries Of London and The Mysteries Of The Court Of London plus a dozen or more others of varying success, Reynolds was of the writers that Ainsworth should have invited to his coterie but he didn’t.  And for a very good reason.  Dickens was the shining light of his group.  For any who might read this or have familiarity with the period, Dickens had achieved immediate success with his Sketches By Boz and The Pickwick Papers.

Reynolds, who at the time, was floundering in 1836 when Pickwick appeared, appropriated Dickens’ Mr. Pickwick for his own novel Pickwick Abroad.  And then in successive works he continued to use Mr. Pickwick as well as others of Dickens works most notably his Master Master Humphrey’s Clock on which Reynolds based his Master Timothy’s Bookcase.  You may imagine that Dickens’ had small appreciation of Reynolds.

There was something about Dicken’s writing that stuck in Reynold’s craw and he never let up ridiculing Dickens.  Thus in his 1852 novel, Mary Price, Reynolds from out the blue had this to say about the leading and most famous novelist of the day while his reputation down to this day nearly two hundred years later is undimmed.  Reynolds gratuitously caricatures Dickens thusly:  Part I,  p. 119.  Dickens as Charles Wiggins is attending a big ball:

 

There was a great literary character amongst the visitors- Mr. Charles Wiggins; who from having been a penny-a-liner on the Morning Chronicle, had by dishing up all kinds of absurdities which he called “humour”, and throwing into the hodge-podge  a dash of maudlin sentimentality, or sickly extravagance which he called “pathos”, had managed to establish his renown as a popular author—somewhat impudent and presumptuous—dressed rather gaudily than well—and courting observation even among stable boys.  Mr. Charles Wiggins was nevertheless a very requisite ornament in the circle I am describing; because it was absolutely necessary to have a literary man in order that the party should be complete; and the one thus selected was of a mental culture thus suited to the average intellectual standard of Harlesdon Park.

 

There does seem to be a touch of envy there as Reynolds with his own radical reputation was never invited anywhere.  Charles Wiggins/Charles Dickens is hard to miss and one may be sure that Dickens’ attention was called to this passage which is really a capital joke of the type that is funny if you’re not the object.

Still, the above is an astute evaluation of Dickens  and his writing and one that I share fully.  If Reynolds knew that Dickens two hundred years on would still be famous and celebrated and he not, I’m sure he would have smashed his head against a stone wall.

In point of fact, Reynolds far exceeds Dickens on any level while being a dozen times more prolific than Dickens who really had trouble trying to find topics to write about.

Such is fate and whatever Dickens had has stood him in good stead for two centuries.  There are innumerable editions of his novels and collected works.  I think Shakespeare himself would be rolling over in his grave.

2.  Battleground Europe

by

R.E. Prindle

 

The period after the fall of the Western Roman Empire was one of perpetual slow motion chaos.  From the fall of the Western Empire to the time of Charlemagne was roughly four hundred years. Any periods of security were short lived as the German tribes were in constant motion.  Hordes roved about throughout the remains of the Empire.  England was vacated fairly early by the Romans so that waves of Germans passed over Great Britain until the Normans established a more settled kingdom after 1066. 

The Romano-Celts occupied France and were subdued early on by the Franks thus constituting two cultures and peoples although the Celts were originally an Aryan tribe from Central Asia.  The Celts were thoroughly Romanized hence in the thrall of the Catholic Church.

In addition to giving the Jews a monopoly on usury the Catholic Church made the Jewish bible its Holy Scriptures thus impressing the minds of Catholics with ancient Jewish mores.  Illiteracy was the norm except for the Churchmen who had to be able to use the Latin language.  The priesthood fully believed the fables of the Jewish bible as God’s own truth.  Hence society was thrown back by a thousand years or more into the ignorance of those fables.  At that time according to Jewish scriptures the earth would only have been about three thousand years old and that was believed literally against impossible odds to the contrary.  The old Mesopotamian cultures with their knowledge which ran against Jewish fables had disappeared beneath the sands without a trace.  The Assyrians were known only from biblical lore.  The Egyptians existed only in Jewish legend.

World Jewry became concentrated in Spain and were engulfed by the Moors as Spain was ripped from the possession of the Visigoths in 700.  The Reconquest of Spain by the Visigothic Spaniards driven into the North West corner of the peninsula would take seven hundred years!  One must dwell on the length of that time to appreciate the duration of seven hundred years of warfare.

Gradually the Jews dispersed throughout Europe as the war continued on the Iberian peninsula, that is Spain.  The Moors and Spanish were fighting all through the Middle Ages until Columbus sailed West to the New World inaugurating the beginning of modern times.  One speaks of Moors, Spaniards, Germans, the English as nationalities.  The Jews too are a nationality but as they possessed no territory of their own when they entered another nation they came as invaders no different than Goths who invaded Italy and conquered it  Thus, whether in England, France or Germany they thought to possess it.  Not coming with an army they were instead armed with usury.  Rather than conventional weapons they armed with themselves with money.  They always maintained their Jewish identity and never amalgamated with the locals.  In this respect they were no different than the Aryans who, whether in India or elsewhere attempted to maintain the color line.  There is no difference between the two attitudes.

Indeed the Franks and Roman-Celts in what became France maintained their characteristics and remained distinguishable until the various wars, the leaders of which preferred tall Germans to smaller Celts, eliminated the tall warriors.  One should not be surprised that a determined people such as the Jews maintain their Jewish identity although they assume the native appearance to avoid discovery.

By 1290 in England Jewish usury had made them a danger to the State so that they were expelled and not allowed to officially return until about 1655.  Of course they were always a disguised presence in any country.  In 1307 some seventeen years after the English expulsion the French king, Philip LeBel expelled them from France for the same reason.

The Jews then began their migration East into the no-mans land of the steppes between Russia and Poland.  A huge expanse of land that was to be called The Pale of Settlement after the Russians annexed Poland in the Eighteenth Century.

As an alien, actually nomad, nation without a territory of its own, the Poles at the time claimed the future Pale as its own, the Jews were in perpetual conflict with their neighbors.  As the Poles were dominant at the time the Jews assumed the position of middle men between the rulers and the people as in Visigothic Spain.  Such was the invasive technique.  The so-called holocaust or Final Solution ended that particular pattern of their history.  The very name Final Solution indicates the nature of their residence in Europe all other solutions, such as expulsion, having failed to resolve the problem.

Having been expelled from most of the States of Europe from 1290 on, as a result of the triumph of the Spanish Reconquista in 1492, the Jews and Moors were required to either accept Christianity or leave Spain.  Many did and many didn’t, but from that moment the Jews declared a war to the knife in Europe.  This was no joke.  While the so-called holocaust was the European solution to the Jewish problem, the Second Thirty Years War, bookended by the two world wars was the Jewish solution to their European Problem and in 1945 the whole of Europe lay in ruins.  Was that a fair exchange?

The future of Europe was very black indeed and would have endured hundreds of years of misery had not the US stepped in to restore European Civilization.  The vital center, Germany, was a total ruin.  It had been bombed flat enveloped by an intense anti-German hatred from both the East and West and, needless to say, world Jewry.

Fortunately Jewish hatred was baffled by more level heads in the US but that is not at our place in our history.  The future situation should still be borne in mind as our history is told.

George W. M. Reynolds And The Family Of

George III

George III

 

In 1848 Reynolds buttoned up his first masterwork, Mysteries Of London (all four series) to begin his second, The Mysteries of the Court of London that attacked and excoriated George III and his family.

While the first two series of Mysteries of London are well known and read by aficionados, there follows the nearly unknown series three and four.  The first two series were apparently finished by 1846.  III and IV continued to 1848.  Then began The Mysteries of the Court of London that ran from 1848 to 1856.  This also was a four series story with the well known first two series probably finished by 1852.  Once again the first two series are well known while dense obscurity envelopes the third and fourth series titled The Crimes of Lady Saxondale and The Fortunes of the Ashtons.  Tracking the latter two series down I found that they were published under Reynolds’ name by John Dicks which were numbered eleven through twenty so they are authentic continuations.  However, the writing is inferior to that of Reynolds so the my guess is that he plotted out the stories and hired other writers to flesh them out much as the Frenchman Alexander Dumas did with many of his novels.  However the last ten novels were apparently not well received as few people have heard of them today even though a full set of the Oxford/Burton Society editions contain all four series only the first two seem to be available.

George IV

Be that as it may Reynolds noted at the end of the second series that he was ending his ‘history’ of George IV with the end of the Regency.  He declined to follow the career of George into his Monarchy.  Of course, the first two series excoriate George IV but Reynolds also investigates certain scandals involving of George III and separately of two of his daughters, Sophie and Amelie.  George III and his wife Charlotte produced a startling fifteen progeny.

Beau Brummell
 

The first two series of Court concerning the family of George III are fairly accurate history allowing for fictional liberties.  For surer accuracy one would have to read academic histories.  George III before his coronation had an affair with a woman called Hannah Lightfoot whom he married in a confidential ceremony.  This caused a problem when it came time for George to perform a royal marriage with the fecund Charlotte.

Reynolds combines the story of George III and Hannah Lightfoot around the adventures of George IV’s buddy, the great Dandy George ‘Beau’ Brummell whom he calls Tim Meagles.

Beau Brummell was a great celebrity in his day setting the tone for male sartorial fashions.  He became a very close friend of George IV even having apartments in Carlton House, George IV’s palatial dwelling.  The relationship lasted for a few years until the Beau’s vanity got the best of him irritating George IV who cut him.  The Beau went off the rails and crashed while in the novel Reynolds characterization of him, Tim Meagles, manages a successful exit from life at George IV’s court.  Meagles manages to acquire some papers proving George III’s marriage to Hannah Lightfoot.  Using this information he was able to extort a bundle and a title for which he had always longed.  This was the exact opposite of what happened to the Beau.  After his parting from the Prince the Beau squandered the small fortune he had inherited and broke and in debt removed to Calais in France where he lived in impoverishment conning old friends passing through for 'loans.'  Interestingly both George IV and Beau could pass as twins judging from the pictures.

The Princess Sophia

Reynolds may not have been able to begin his novel in 1848 because as the year dawned George IV’s sister the Princess Sophia was still alive and he might have been subjected to slander laws. Princess Sophia then died in April of 1848 at the age of seventy.  Telling her story so close to her death was scandalous enough and generated some hard feeling toward him among the aristocracy.  But George was a revolutionary so what cared he.  He actually hoped that the European revolution of 1848 would sweep away the crown and the aristocracy  as it did in France.  Needless to say, while he played a prominent part, he was disappointed in the results.

The daughters of George III, five in number, led fairly tragic lives deserving some sympathy.  They were given no freedom by their father and mother tightly tied to their apron strings, not allowed to live anything approaching a normal life.

Sophia then, starved for a love life, at the age of twenty-three fell in love with her equerry and probably had a child by him, almost if not actually a certainty.  At least a man claiming to be her son plagued her into her grave.  In later life she was exploited by another lover.  Quite a tragic story worthy of a movie.  Reynolds rather cruelly exploited the dead Sophia in Court of London beginning the first series with a carriage crash carrying a pregnant Sophia.

The second daughter he held up to shame was Amelie who was supposed to have had an illegitimate child also and that very tragic story Reynolds  connects with the Monster Man who earned his name by desecrating the dead of London’s graveyards.  In her case the Monster Man who hates the royal family contrives to steal Amelie’s baby turning him over to criminals to be brought up to the most vile criminal habits.

In her later life Amelie has her brother George track her son down.  He employs the chief of the Bow Street Runners, Reynolds’ master detective Larry Sampson, to do the leg work.  Sampson found him as a teenager in the hands of London’s worst criminal, doubling as a barber, obviously based on Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

One wonder’s if Reynolds had read Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder In The Rue Morgue.  Poe was something of a sensation in England and Europe during his lifetime so it seems likely Reynolds did.  Sampson’s methods are more empirical than Poe’s C.A. Dupin whose forte was mental lucubrations.  There does seem to be a reflection of Poe in Larry Sampson.

Having found the lad, Sampson gives him a trial to see if he could go straight but his early education was so strong that it was impossible.  Still Amelie longed to see him so her brother George arranges a slight meeting.  The boy was then shipped off to England and Europe’s dumping ground, the former colonies in America.

So, George Reynolds, ironically named after the Georgian kings, slanders the daylights out of George III and his family, perhaps one of the most brutal and extended attacks in history.  It is understandable that he was looked at askance by the royalty and the aristocracy along with their dependents.  Still, George William McArthur Reynolds wrote one hell of a story.

That Awesome Mystical Virus

That Awesome Mystic Virus

by

R.E. Prindle

What is faster than a speeding bullet, can jump high buildings in a single bound and fly through the sky.  No, not Superman, Stupid, It’s Super Virus.

 

As we are all aware, the Corona Virus has arrived.  This is not an ordinary biological micro-organism.  No, it’s supernatural, it’s not alive but it is armed and dangerous.  If one follows the rules of the English language what is not alive is dead.  You see an inert rattlesnake, give it a kick and if it doesn’t bite back it is not alive, it is dead.  Not so with the Virus.  It is not alive but not dead.  In the English language not alive and dead are synonymous.  But the virus is not dead, it is a new invented category named ‘not alive.’   If not alive is not dead then the virus must be immortal because it can’t die.  Nothing is immortal.

So, what do we know about this virus?  It is tiny, one and half microns, five nanometers, too small to comprehend.  It will probably take ten to the twenty-fifth power for a bundle of them to be visible to the naked eye. Trillions and trillions of them.  The virus is a fast multiplier so one of them can go to trillions is the blink of an eye.  We know that this tiny+ virus is also immobile being not alive.  As it is not alive it cannot move of its own accord.  Where it lands it must stop.  It is so small it must disappear down the minutest crack.  It should disappear down your pores but it doesn’t.  Without nutrients on any surface since not alive it cannot die and it should be able to exist without nutrients for eternity.  Nevertheless we are told that it doesn’t survive for more than a few hours and then does what, pass shelf life?  It continues to exist, but what?  We aren’t told.

Now, it has no mobility and it can only enter the respiratory system through the nose and mouth.  Do you understand that?  Only through the nostrils and mouth.  And it has to be placed there directly.  Therefore an air born virus has to be shot directly into your nose and mouth.  A carrier, another human, must infect you.  If one should have landed on the palm of your hand you must lick your palm and suck it in.  It can’t move, it is immobile. 

A big fuss has been made about touching your face as though the virus could suddenly abandon being not alive and crawl to your mouth or nostrils.  Not possible, the virus is immobile.  You would have to have one on your finger and place it in your nose or mouth.  So, really, this immobile virus plainly cannot be that infective.

So you touch your cheek?  So what?  It is immobile, it can’t move and it can’t activate from not alive to whatever on the surface of your cheek.  You must place in your nose and mouth and then this not alive virus with no volition is scraped off your finger and enters your respiratory system.  It is a respiratory virus it will only inhabit you nose, nasal passages, mouth, throat and lungs.  It does not enter your blood stream.  What do all five organs have in common?  Oxygen.  They are oxygen rich. So this virus which always remains not alive must be activated, if such a thing is possible, by oxygen and then its sole function is to multiply which it does in a spectacular fashion.  Indeed, if you are infected your blood is deoxygenated.  Doesn’t that tell you something?

But, before your lungs can be infested the virus, we will suppose only one lucky virus made it to you nose or mouth, the virus has first to multiply in your mouth and nose.  Early warning signals.  The virus not being alive must be impervious to death.  Since they never die they just multiply somehow by becoming oxygenated.  How has never been explained to us.  A most clever sexless organism just mystically, magically multiplies.  It feeds on oxygen which is obvious because it only exists in the oxygen rich respiratory  system.

So, how do you destroy a not alive organism?  You can’t kill it because it is not alive.  Ah, we are told, there is a fatty substance surrounding a nut containing a ring of DNA.  (Due to the wonders of modern science this ring has been photographed and shown on the internet.)  So, once the fatty substance is dissolved why the virus is deactivated while still not alive forever.  Once this fatty substance is dissolved the nut with the ring of DNA is no longer capable of withdrawing oxygen from your breath.  And then what?  It never was alive so it cannot die.  What?  It  remains not dead forever?

At any rate your oxygen is restored to your control. What happens to the not dead not live nut?  I don’t know and our ‘scientists’ have not been eager to tell us.

Finally, in ending this query, what we do know is that a disinfectant like alcohol for instance dissolves the fatty substance and neutralizes the not dead not alive virus and it can never revive because while perhaps not being alive it has ceased to exist.

Alcohol, hmm?  I’m not going any further than this.  You figure it out.  Remember the nose, nasal passages and mouth are infested first.  That’s a hint

1. Battleground Europe

 

In previous installments we discovered that both the Jews and the European contingent of the Aryans both entered the stage of history at approximately the same time.  Further, that they both drew their inspiration from Egypt although diverging in their application of that civilization.  The Jewish bible or Old Testament displayed the Jewish intellect while Homer’s Iliad did the same for the Greek Aryans, thus two entirely different Weltanschauungs confronted each other.  This is a very important distinction as the two peoples have very different approaches to life.  Their intellects are not compatible, contrary to everything we have been conditioned to believe.

The reader of today, the European and American, probably believe that Aryans are bad people, that is merely because Jewish Semites have demonized them because of their casualties in WWII.  The victors write the official history and as the Jews, although merely intertwined with the US and the Soviets won the war through the sacrifices of the Soviets and the United States. 

The Soviets were under the guidance of Joseph Stalin and the US under the dictatorship of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  However, the antecedents of WWII can be found in the Age long warfare between the Aryans and the Jews.

Nor is the so-called holocaust to be seen as unique.  We have already seen that genocide is a characteristic of Jewish mores.  Numerous peoples were exterminated to make lebensraum for them, including the Amalekites.  The uprising against the Romans of 115 AD was intended to exterminate the Romans and make the Empire Jewish.  The Ages long warfare between the Jews and Aryans in Europe is about to become part of our study.

So, now, it is seen that history is a long unfolding of the struggle of a people to realize their desires.  I don’t say that the Jewish wars caused the downfall of the Roman Empire, but certainly the immense effort to defeating an insignificant group of fanatics sapped the Roman strength along with the victory.  In any event the Jews a seemingly defeated people driven from their seat in the ‘Holy Land’ were able to carry on although displaced and dispersed.  Oddly enough the insignificant backwater of Jerusalem would retain its sanctity throughout the Age of Pisces.  The return remained a Jewish dream uniting them as much as anything.  ‘Next year in Jerusalem’ was their greeting.

Spain and Mesopotamia became their chief seats until the tenth century when the Mesopotamian Jews driven from that land added its weight to the Spanish Jews then living under Moorish dominance after that people conquered the Visigoths.  Spain was then known as the Land of the Three Religions.

Obviously soundly beaten, if not destroyed in the eyes of the Aryan peoples, they had to reorganize and form a new plan.  The Moslem conquest of the East, North Africa and Spain worked to the Jewish advantage.  The Eruption from the Desert closed off North Africa and the Near East to Europeans and separated them from their Greek and Egyptian heritage.

The Moslems had seized the wisdom of Egypt and the knowledge and science of the Greeks.  It would not be until the late fifteenth century and the elimination of the last remnant of the Roman Empire in Constantinople from whence legions of Greek scholars fled to Europe that the great repository of knowledge would find its way to the West.

During that long period the Jews had free access to the Egyptian and Greek learning and hence were able to pass themselves off as superior to Aryans in Europe who had begun the long ascent from tribal barbarism to the citadel of knowledge and intelligence far surpassing the Jews still mired in their magical biblical nonsense.

The Jews having regained their balance were busy organizing a plan to defeat the Holy Roman Empire that emerged out of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.  As part of this plan the Jew, Saul or Paul had reconstructed the Jewish religion into its reasonable facsimile, Christianity.  If his plan had worked Europe would have become Jewish, with a senior and junior division.  However the inherent mental differences between the Aryan and Semitic intellects are irreconcilable.

Greek and Egyptian influences remained strong and diluted the Jewish contribution significantly.  The Roman Catholic Church which was as intolerant as Judaism captured Europe forming a duality of Church and State.  The Jews thus were much dismayed because in their eyes Christianity was purely a variant of Judaism.   As they came to believe Judaism was like the olive tree in which Judaism formed the roots and trunk while Christianity was grafted onto it.  In other words Judaism was the parent religion and Christianity was the daughter that owed obeisance to the parent.

Aryans could never accept this position, but because the Church recognized its relationship to the Synagogue, it accepted consanguinity protecting the Jews from the animosity that the Jews provoked in the the Europeans.

In one of the most important decision ever made in history the Church decreed that usury, that is interest on monetary loans, was an illicit use of money and that no Christian could loan at interest.  However, the Jews being outside the jurisdiction of the Church could.  Thus the Church gave the Jews the most magnificent gift they would ever receive: that of compound interest, a monopoly of usury.  Nor should that interest be thought of as seven or eight percent.  The interest ran from thirty to fifty percent or whatever the market would bear. 

It can readily be seen that the Church gave the Jews the supremacy of Europe as all the money and property in Europe must eventually have fallen into Jewish hands thus enslaving Europeans.  And this is more or less what happened until the great crimes of the twentieth century world wars slowed the process down.  By that time Church influence was virtually nil and Europeans too could practice usury but with interest limited by law.  For a good fictional account of how the process worked see George W.M. Reynolds novel, The Necromancer.

The Jews then were an alien people, separate people in their term, working against the interests of the Aryan nations.  Remember that the Jews were an alien people controlling the currency of Europe and later America.

Let see how this process worked in medieval Spain.  This is really insidious.  After the Romans dropped the Jewish survivors of the Jewish Wars off in Spain the Empire began to disintegrate.  The German barbarians were at the gate and rushed in.  The German hordes took over the Western Empire and it was from these German hordes that the magnificence of Europe would develop.  A tribal horde styled the Visigoths entered Spain, or Iberia as it was then known, and established themselves there among the Jews.  The Jews were relatively sophisticated compared to the Aryan semi-savages.

The Visigoth kings were new to running a settled kingdom, especially having trouble raising taxes.  The Visigoth tax gatherers had trouble dealing with their fellow tribesmen.  It is hard to extract taxes from the people you live among.  The ancient Egyptians for instance, found it difficult to arrest fellow Egyptians so they created a police force of Black  Cushites to do the job for them.  In Spain the Jews stepped in and took the responsibility of doing what was called ‘Tax Farming.’

The king was asked how much money he needed and whatever sum was demanded the Jews promised to deliver.  Their fee for this service was whatever above the kings money that they could collect was theirs.  This was even as good as the monopoly on usury which they would combine with tax collecting to establish a tyranny over the legitimate farmers.  And they were relentless, searching premises to take whatever there was of value leaving the farmers with no means to farm the next season’s crops.  The Jews then loaned the money at extortionate rates against the next years crops renewing the cycle.  The Visigoth farmers groaned beneath their tyranny.

The Jews had cleverly inserted themselves between the king and his people.  The king being dependent on them for collecting his revenue, the Jews had the favored position relative to the Visigothic people.  The people not infrequently boiled over.  The Jews, then, being an alien people segregated themselves apart from the people creating all Jewish  castellated towns in their defense.  In another word, ghettoes.

Driven to desperation the people finding no respite from their king and one would think near madness, assaulted the high walls of these ghettoes.  The Jews taking the Eichmann defense claimed that they were only doing the king’s will and therefore were responsible for no wrong doing.  At their request then the king called out the troops against his own people quelling the rebellion against the extortionate Tax Farmers.

This pattern would be the Jewish modus operandus until the arrival of the National Socialists in Germany in the twentieth century.

And remember the Catholic Europeans forbidden to charge compound interest were therefore at the mercy of the Jews who took their money as fast as they got it.

The above scenario was derived from the works of Benzion Netanyahu.

Ancient Reckonings

I should take a moment to explicate the intelligence, knowledge and reasoning of the Ancients.  It should be apparent that the ancients were reasoning from a very limited knowledge and judging from appearances yet still penetrated many mysteries.  They also realized that what they saw were merely surface appearances, thus they placed a veil over the face of their nature goddess, Isis, indicating that behind the veil the unknown would be revealed.


A key problem was the transmission of learning.  The great disaster occurred in the Age of Leo when the Great Flood occurred that destroyed civilization as it was then known as the great centers of learnings, Dilmun, Atlantis, the Med Basin and probably others in the East, Mu, were submerged beneath the waters.


Time keeping was a great problem.  It was not until the birth of Jesus that a stable beginning point was devised to make years and centuries accurately retained.  Previously events were recorded as occurring the in fourth year of King such and such who was four kings back.


Of course the passing of the year had been discovered fairly early as it is fairly easy.  There were many myths describing the year.  The Greeks, and perhaps the Med Civilization before them had divided the year into four quarters symbolized as a circle containing a cross.  These two symbols represented the solstices and equinoxes.  The vertical line represented the winter and summer solstices while the equinoxes by the horizontal line. 

 The equinox is the point when the day and night are of equal duration.  In Greek mythology, undoubtedly borrowed and edited from elsewhere, the myth of Castor and Pollux represented the two solstices,  December and June, the shortest day and the longest day.  Castor on December 21^st shoots an arrow in the air that will land at the summer solstice June 21^st.  Perhaps it will hit Pollux in the heel, much as Paris’ arrow caught Achilles by the heel.  Both would die by the wound although Pollux would take six months doing it as he wrestled with Time to hold back the winter.


The Spring Equinox was monitored by the fair Helen of Trojan fame, while the Autumn Equinox was governed by Clytemnestra, the unfaithful wife of Agamemnon of the Iliad.  Libra her Zodiac name was pictured holding up a scale equally balanced representing equal night and day.


The Zodiac, representing the twenty-five hundred ninety  years of the Great Year was devised from the terrestrial year of twelve months and translated to the sky and affixed to clusters of stars called Constellations so that longer periods of time could be managed in segments of roughly twenty-one hundred years.  Thus the Mesopotamians spoke of Aries as being the fifth king from the flood.  Thus the flood had occurred eight thousand and some year earlier in the Age of Leo.  At that time the pre-historic Civilization began to disappear, perhaps in stages.  And that is why we have all the legends of some savior appearing from the sea to instruct civilization to the upcountry savages.


Egypt was a different situation .  We have no idea of the civilization of the Mediterranean Valley.  The successor, or perhaps, continuation civilization consisted of two disparate peoples, those of Upper Egypt and the Nile Delta or Lower Egypt.  Civilization appeared in history about 3400 BC when the war between Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt was decided in favor of Upper Egypt.


When the Med Basin was flooded, which must have been fairly well populated, as it was an ideal location, the inhabitants fled for higher ground in all directions—North into Europe, South into North Africa and East into Asia.  The Tuaregs, a legendary African White people,  most probably were descended from the flood.  Apparently the Priesthood and/or the Academy, the repository of learning, chose to locate on the Nile Delta.  Perhaps seeking higher ground two or three times they selected Memphis as the ideal location.  In any event the knowledge of pre-Pharaonic Egypt was deposited on the Delta perhaps for thousands of years before the conflict with Upper Egypt began. 


According to the accepted reading that was in 3400, however, as the settlers arrived with a fully developed civilization there must have been a long period of development that must have existed pre-Age of Leo if we follow the legends of Mesopotamia.  Bear in mind these are memory traces and not full recollections.


The situation in Egypt was quite different from that of Mesopotamia.  In the latter case the pre-Leo civilization appears to have just disappeared leaving a sole survivor to impart civilization, unless Oannes represented a colony of Dilmunians.  In Egypt it appears that the earlier civilization, which I will call Libyans, transferred its religion and collegial organization nearly intact.

The Pharaonic setup of Egypt derived from the Priest Manetho writing near the end of Egyptian influence, I am now following Michael A. Aquino:  The Temple of Set, Vol. I.  His approach, as the founder of the modern Temple of Set was, p.30:

The (modern) Temple of Set was challenged to take one step beyond.  The entire Hebraic monotheism, to include even its Satanic reinterpretation as the actual benchmark of evil, would be thrown into the dustbin, JHVH, Satan, Moses, Christ, Mohammed—collectively discarded in all their social, physical, or meta-physical contexts and pretensions.

Those Hebraic successors to the Primal Egyptian religion Aquino discards and returns to Egyptian religious times before the Pharaohs.  In addition to Manetho’s list of 30 Egyptian dynasties, Manetho lists previous to the dynasties “350 years of Thinites, 1790 years of other Memphite kings, 1817 years of other kings, 1255 years of “Heroes”, and before that 13,900 years in which the neteru reigned physically on Earth.”  Text in quotes shared from Aquino of the Temple of Set.


In astronomical terms that is about nine Ages before the Age of Taurus almost the beginning of Gemini, adding Aries and Pisces that is eleven Ages or almost a whole Great Year.  Thus the Egyptian memory traces consist of all four astronomical seasons of the Great Year, one ice age and one interglacial period   They saw it all.  


The early ancestors actually witnessed the submergence of Atlantis which they may have conflated with the submergence of the Med Basin.  But then so little of those memory traces have survived that we don’t know what exactly what they might have remembered.


Michael Aquino believes a religious entity of neteru ruled over the very long period and he has based his religion on an entity named Set.  Thus he completely avoids the Semitic period of religions of the Age of Pisces, completely invalidating them.


In later Pharaonic times when the religion of Isis and Osiris triumphed, Set was made a representation of evil, a natural progression just as the Hebraic religions supplanted those of the Tigris-Euphrates and the Nile.

The Semitic group of religions was spawned by the Jews.  For the last two thousand years their effort has been to destroy the Christian and Moslem spin offs to attain not only dominance but displacement from the Earth.  That is, genocide.


So now, let us begin the conflict between the Jews and what they style Christianity but which we style European or Aryan.  This conflict would reach a true crisis point in the twentieth century from 1913 to 1950, or slightly beyond this essay destination of 1920.


We too, in addition to Aquino, desire the complete destruction of the Semitic religions.
