WHY EUROPEAN SUPERIORITY? MEROVINGIAN QUEENS! BATHILDE OUTLAWED SLAVERY! Conversely, Subjugating Women Makes A Society Stupid! Iran Whips Women For Showing Their Heads!

Abstract: When Egypt encountered its gravest crises, a caretaker was needed, and a woman often took the reins as Pharaoh. Cleopatra VII was the last example. The female brain is different. Female psychobiology tends to be more oriented towards taking care of the weak and the future, with a ferocity rarely seen in males in a comparable situation: never get between mum and her cubs.

The same phenomenon happened when the Greco-Roman slave socioeconomy collapsed. During and after that megadeath catastrophe, the switch towards what the Franks named “Europe” was greatly engineered by a dozen female monarchs. Europe arose as a different civilization thanks to women who forcefully imposed the values they thought were the most worthy. From the Roman empress Augusta Galla Placidia to Queen of the Franks Bathilde, remarkably determined and courageous women took over, at enormous risks to themselves, and changed civilization by instituting new, more caring, motherly highest values to replace the virile virtues which had driven Rome. This more loving civilization required more ferocity and willpower in its defense at inception than average male dominated monarchies could deliver.

Galla Placidia insisted on equality to the law for all (isonomia). Bathilde, went much further, and outright outlawed slavery. The consequences on European socioeconomy were enormous, and made Europe unique in the world (Yes slavery was abolished in Europe, by a woman who had been herself a slave, 12 centuries before India stopped burning alive young uppity widows…)

Some of the sweetest, smartest, yet most determined angels of our nature are found within the feminine ideal. By using those better and smarter angels more, Europe, named after a Phoenician princess, became smarter than the rest of the world, which, intoxicated by the power of civilization, made women into breeders instead of guiding lights. 

The High Middle Ages, the so-called “Dark Ages”, were neither Dark, nor Middle Aged. They were young and enlightened. From Galla to Bathilde, a dozen female leaders, some of whom ruled half a century, gave a distinctly female impulse to civilization, changing completely its trajectory, power, spirituality and intelligence. And Europe was not finished being led by women. Adélaïde of Burgundy became queen of Italy in 947 CE. Her husband got poisoned, she refused to marry the son of the aggressor, and called to her rescue Otto I, king of Germania. Otto I saved her and he was sacred Roman emperor with her as Augusta (Roman empress) in February 962 CE. She survived him, and her son, Otto II, and finished as regent for Otto III, while making her friend the mathematician and intellectual  Gerbert d’Aurillac pope under the name of Sylvester II.

The times were characterized by the successful destruction of savage Central Asian invaders, the Magyars (who had raided all the way into present day France) by Otto I, at the time of the birth of Otto II (955 CE). One can only assume that Adélaïde pushed Otto to ferocity (because she revealed plenty of that later fighting her daughter in law…)… The invasions by Mongols had been going on for a while…

Meanwhile, as I write this, some countries of the Middle Earth whip women, if they just dare to show their heads… On the Internet!

Queen Bathilde is arguably the world’s most important political leader there ever was. 12 centuries before American racists, she single handedly outlawed slavery. Neither Christianism, nor Islamism, nor any other celebrated ideology objected to slavery. Instead a Merovingian Queen, following her own moral compass, outlawed slavery. That a woman did it, is no accident. Women are dangerous to the evil-power (pluto-kratia). That Islam, this temple of male subjugation, subjugates women, and civilization itself, are two aspects of the same will to abuse by the mentally destitute.

Queen Bathilde imposed the freedom of any slave introduced inside the Imperium Francorum. 

How did Bathilde find the strength? A high level, highly educated princess from Kent, she was captured by corsairs during a regime change orchestrated by the Franks, and enslaved. She refused to marry her owner, the mayor of the palace (the Prime Minister), and escaped instead to complain to the 12 year old Prince. She was 21. The Prince, now King, bought, freed and married her. Bathilde was no shrinking violet. Bathilde was older than her husband, Clovis II. Three of her sons became kings. 

Her influence on her husband was enormous.  She urged Clovis II to rule the Imperium Francorum with an iron fist. After Clovis II’s early death, at 22, she ruled as regent. Famous for her beauty, and her moral rectitude, she outlawed slavery and child trafficking. Bathilde showed her hair in its glory, while she ordered around men of the powerful empire, an union of three kingdoms.

That slavery destroying secular France was contemporaneous with a superstition also called Islam, that is, Submission. 14 centuries later in the asinine theocracy known as Iran, women get whipped for showing their heads because female heads make light headed followers of Allah crazy: they just can’t resist the power of female hair.

There are many representation of Bathilde on seals and gold coins where she is represented with long blonde hair (she was blonde, that was genetically confirmed). Sometimes her hair is even flying in some representations where she seems depicted… nude. Compare with Iran in the Twentieth-First century!

Islam Treats Women Badly, With Hugely Negative Consequences:

Many specialists of Islam have asked: What Went Wrong? Well, Islam was always conceived as the ideology to raid civilization (that is explicitly stated by the Messenger in the Qur’an, and he added that this was the first time in 1,000 years that it could be done, because of the huge war just won by the Romans against Persia!). So Islam didn’t create civilization as much as it raided two of them (Ibn Khaldun explains the pulse of civilization with this dichotomy between raiding Nomads conquering and then becoming Sedentary types). However, Muhammad protected the lives of girls and facilitated breeding, by forbidding the killing of girls (something China would explicitly forbid only in the Twentieth Century (in Europe that was forbidden by the Roman Republic).

However, Islam’s law, the Sharia, treated women as half men. So explicitly in Islam, there is no isonomia: in testimony, one man is worth two women. In the centuries following the Qur’an, the laws mistreating women by confining them to breeding status may have been motivated by the need for giant Muslim armies: differently from Christianism which took nearly three centuries to get the help of the sword, Islam spread by the sword, spectacularly right from the beginning, craving within one human lifetime the largest empire ever seen. If one needs lots of soldiers, one needs lots of children: the conquest of North Africa by Islam, for example, had to defeat determined resistance, led by a queen.

The Berber queen Dihya (or Kahina) fought against the Muslim conquest of the Maghreb. For five years she ruled a free Berber state from the Aurès Mountains to the oasis of Gadames (695–700 CE). She was finally killed in combat near a well that still bears her name, Bir al Kahina in the Aures. Her head was sent to the Romans.

Mistreating women is the Achilles Heel of Islam: it cuts the population by two, deprives the civilization of the female neurology, and contributes to the mis-education of children by weak, u educated submissives.

Europe Was No Moronic Christian, That Was The Whole Sense Of Catholicism, Frankish Recipe:

But not only was Islam more of a raiding ideology, the West also lied: the West was never just Christian. OK, maybe it was not a lie under Theodosius, but the result was that the Roman state collapsed… immediately (Theodosius’ Christian terror decrees in 381 CE are followed quickly by the revolt of the C in C, the Frank Arbogast. Arbogast was defeated in 394 CE, and the great invasions started in 395 CE; In 406 CE, the Franks, who are the Roman army on the NW Limes, can’t block the invaders; by 451 CE, the forces stopping the Huns are essentially the Franks, seconded by the Huns.. Aetius is the Roman commander, but he ends up persuading the Goths and the Franks to go home).

Under the influence of his wife Clotilde, supposedly, Clovis converted to Catholicism, but then made it to his and her, own image… In the famous story of the vase of Soissons, Clovis kills the soldier who grabbed that magnificent vessel, and then Clovis offers it to the bishop who he wanted to give it to in the first place. The vase is made of precious metal and is banged. At his death, the bishop orders it to be melted. The point is that the bishop accepts the vase from Clovis, although everybody knows that it is drenched with the blood of the soldier Clovis axed.

Historians noted that the vase of Soissons symbolized the fact that Roman Imperator  and Consul Clovis, by killing the soldiers, tells the army that, from now on, the Salian Frank army will operate with Roman discipline, not German band-of-brothers style. 

What historians didn’t mention is the fact that the bishop accepted the gift of blood, and thus proclaimed for all to see, that the bloody reason of state was superior to all the Christian values of the Evangels… That was a complete inversion of the dominance of the Catholic church imposed to Theodosius by Saint Ambrose… who had excommunicated the emperor for a bloody massacre committed in reprisal. Ambrose ordered the state, represented by Theodosius, that it shouldn’t spill blood and present an apology. Whereas the bishop, by accepting the twice bloodied vase from Clovis, proclaimed for all to see that the order imposed by the state in Caesar’s style was the ultimate value.

When Bathilde executes saints and bishops to impose her abolition of slavery, she acts accordingly: the values imposed by the state, namely herself, are higher than those of bishops. At the time all the mightiest plutocratic families had bishops in their midst, the plutocratic state being entangled with the church…

At the same time, Bathilde is imposing Galla Placidia’s isonomia, the equality to all subjected to secular law, and thus, as Galla didn’t say, the impossibility of slavery.

Islam As A Savage Christian Sect:

When Islam exploded and invaded the Middle East,  the Franks sent spies and concluded that the “Saracens” were a devious Christian sect, calling them the sons of Sarah, a wife of Abraham [1]… Literal Christianism was too stupid, so the European leadership, made by a military aristocracy with a literary bent, never really followed it, it just claimed to do so, and used Christianism as a weapon against various aliens. More exactly, 

Nature’s God made women and men equal in the way of dress. Pretending otherwise is an assault against Nature, hence Reason. Islam is not just against Nature, it’s more fundamentally, against Reason. Because nobody reasonable would follow a religion to make us all stupid (except of course the elite of stupid countries which rules precisely because its population is stupid!) 

A woman in Iran, Roya Heshmati, got 74 lashes for refusing to cover up her head as ordered by Iranian judges. Still she refused proudly to cover-up, before, during and after her punishment, and also refused to show her pain.

The god of Iranian theocrats abuses females because those war mongers are fundamentally primitives who force women to only reproduce, to feed the large armies the theocrats need for aggressing the world with their medieval attitude. Enforced covering symbolizes and effectuates the caging of females.

Putting women into psychological, legal and physical cages enabled Islamist countries to have demographic explosions followed by military expansion. However this has backfired as the result is stupidity: caged, submitted women are less smart and creative and educate kids accordingly… Bringing forth a population which can’t read between the lines (unintelligent) .

Indeed Latin intelligentia comes from inter “between” (see inter-) + legere “choose, pick out, read…

While Islam triumphed in the Orient, Aisha, Muhammad’s ex-child-bride, led an army against the Qur’an, claiming it was a sexist document not reflecting her late husband’s thought (“Who knew Him better than me?, she said). Unfortunately she was defeated in the Battle of the Camel. Meanwhile in Europe, the Frankish queen who ruled over most of Europe, herself a Saxon from Kent brought to France as a slave, outlawed slavery and used the public treasury to free slaves… Bathilde was later made into a Saint (although she had lots of people killed to get her way, including a dozen bishops, and at least one saint, “Dalphinus”, the so-called dolphin, Saint Ennemond,). 

It’s no coincidence that Christianism and Islamism took slavery for granted… Especially the latter. These religions are slave religions. In the Quran’s the expression for enslaved is “those whom your right hand possesses”… That’s why Islamists say one should read the Qur’an in Arabic: so that one doesn’t understand what it says… (Also the French of the period is nearly unreadable… so is archaic Arabic…) 

The two centuries of all powerful Frankish queens changed the direction of civilization. Rome proclaimed, and succeeded, by creating an Open Society. Bathilde proclaimed that there were limits to plutocracy: one could not enslave people, NO Slavery. Rome failed, in great part, because slavery failed. Not enough slaves, and the economy, which depended upon the giant slave driven Latifundia, was not productive enough to keep people fed. Malnourished people succumbed to epidemics: starting around 162 CE, when the Roman economy had already greatly collapsed (we know from Greenland ice cores), the “plague” started. 

Nor does an enslaved people defend itself from maniacal tyrants which preceded them and (Constantine and Theodosius I being examples). In turn, those tyrants lead weak armies (lest there be a coup) and can’t defend against invading hordes (that general scheme happened again and again in China; in Europe, it happened only once, during the decline of Rome; afterwards, although there was local tyranny, the overall Democratic Index (Trade Mark; how many leaders per million) stayed higher in Europe, and so Europe was better defended (better defense from local leaders is why Western Francia broke away from the rest of the Carolingian/Roman empire),    

OUTLAWING SLAVERY was an enormous change, contradicting the direction of civilization for millennia. Aristotle had said it couldn’t be done, because they didn’t have the machines to replace the slaves. Well, the Franks outlawed slavery, and then invented the machines. Actually six centuries earlier in Gaul, there had been deployment of water powered machines in what were modern industrial installations. Also the Gallo-Romans used mechanical harvesters pushed by donkeys…

Prehistoric men couldn’t be enslaved. However, as civilization appeared, so did slavery. Why? As civilization grew, it gathered power. Civilization growth and per capita power growth are roughly similar. In particular the power of the elite grew exponentially (that’s why our elites are crisscrossing the planet in private jets polluting all, and some even threaten to kill us all)… So the elite could afford to own more and more people: as civilization grew, so did slavery. Also the elite needed to impose terror, to rule more sustainably… The existence of slavery helped to instill that terror…

The rule of Frankish queens was ephemeral… From Clovis’ powerful queen, Clothilde to Bathilde, two centuries… However, Roman empress Augusta Galla Placidia had contributed to the rule of law, and morality, just prior…It’s actually possible that the Augusta showed the way as her long rule corresponded to the last lights of the Roman state in the West. Even her enemies came to respect her.

After the enormous civilizational shock of Bathilde the white males tried to recover by staying among white bros only for the next four centuries. Put yourself in their shoes: the magnificent, sophisticated, mighty and long ruling Brunehild/Brunehaut, maker of kings, was betrayed, defeated in battle, captured, and accused of having killed many other princes. Decried as a new Jezebel, she had been spectacularly stripped, and tortured to death publicly in public, for three days, when she was 70… A seductress for the ages, famous for her intellect and beauty, 

Brunichildis (her Latin name, which originally meant “armored goddess” in ancient German) had been the patron of intellectuals such as Gregory of Tours and Fortunat, making the Frankish empire into an intellectual powerhouse… 

The support of Brunechildis, and the Franks in general, for the intellect is remarkable because Gaul had been previously an intellectual void: the Gauls had superb and superior metallurgy, but were not intellectuals (that was caused by the Druids who monopolized the law and writing; whereas in Rome the law was not a matter of interpretation by priests, and even simple legionnaires knew how to write…). Starting in the Sixth Century, Frankish bishops were encouraged to organize the secula teaching of children… By the mid-Eighth Century, that became mandatory. 

Brunehild/Brunehaut failed to seduce her executioner, king  Chlothar II/Clothaire II)… All this spectacular deployment of previously unheard of cruelty was all in vain for the male chauvinists: a generation later, here comes Bathilde, the third Jezebel as she was called by some of her enemies on the run. And Bathilde outlawed the ultimate ownership. 

The sophisticated, multilingual Anna of Ukraine ruled Francia four centuries after Bathilde. The Princess of Kyiv let all know that the French were primitive, uncouth, etc…

There is no doubt that only a woman could decide to outlaw slavery. Bathilde, did so with a characteristic strong female behavior: a dedicated caretaker, relentless, with maximum ferocity and single mindedness. Actually all the Frankish queens showed this outstanding character. By contrast all the Frankish kings tend to be more balanced and none would have dared to do what Bathilde did (she had a few trusted advisors).

The greatest achievement of Europe, freeing Europe from direct ownership by plutocracy, mandated the advancement of science, technology, and an efficient economy. Europe became unsubmitted. By contrast… 

Islam means “Submission”. Human means the opposite.

When the Franks invaded England in 1066 CE, they imposed European law, and immediately abolished slavery (around 20% of the English population was enslaved; that liberation helps explain why the regime of William the Conqueror re-instituted the stability of civilization to Britain, after five centuries of turmoil, invasions and divisions…)

To understand the superiority of civilization in general, to understand what progress is, one has to know what Bathilde did. Knowing history doesn’t mean knowing garbage in, garbage out, it means the ability to distinguish what were the most important turns of history. The abolition of slavery took away from civilization what had been one of its most important features, for 10,000 years. The collapse of the Greco-Roman state showed that slavery was not compatible with industrialization and spiritualization. A woman took charge.

A young woman named Roya Heshmati received 74 lashes of the whip for refusing to cover her head on the Internet. Despite her punishment, she remained defiant, refusing to wear the hijab during and after her lashing. Singing courageously, “In the name of women, in the name of life, the chains of slavery have been torn apart.”

At the same time, Taliban arrested women of Afghanistan for “bad hijab”.

“This morning, I faced my sentence of 74 lashes for defying the mandatory hijab. Accompanied by my lawyer, I entered the District 7 prosecutor’s office, deliberately removing my hijab. Ignoring the officials’ orders to cover up, I stood my ground.

An officer threatened additional punishment if I didn’t comply, but I refused to wear the hijab. Defiantly, I was handcuffed and led to a basement room, akin to a medieval torture chamber.

In the execution room, with concrete walls and an ominous execution bed, the judge asked if I was okay. I remained silent, showing my resistance. Ordered to prepare for the lashes, I hung up my coat and scarf, refusing to wear the hijab despite their insistence.

As the lashes commenced, I silently recited a poem about liberation and resistance. Despite the pain, I didn’t let them see my suffering. After the punishment, I continued to defy their demands to wear the hijab, a symbol of my unwavering stance against oppression.”

This is the reality of living under Sharia Laws. #LetUsTalk

“Inside the judge’s chamber, he acknowledged discomfort with the case but insisted on its implementation. I chose silence. He suggested living abroad for a different life; I affirmed our commitment to resistance, emphasizing the universality of this country. He insisted on legal adherence, and I urged the law to fulfill its role while we persist in our resistance,” wrote Heshmati.

[1] Actually the word “Sarasin” corresponded to the dark color of buckwheat (sarasin in Celtic) and also the noun was of an older Roman origin, pre-Islam, to qualify some Sinai dwelling friends of Rome who were not Arabs. So “Saracen” (Sarasin in French) carried a triple meaning. The Eight Century meaning corresponded to the (negative) connotation of an extremist Christian sect… The Franks, historically, had always been opposed to Christianism, and adopted it to better capture it… Hence by blood interpretation of the Vase De Soissons (which was metallic and later melted). In any case, the fact the Franks sent spies to find out what these Muslims were up to illustrates the fact they were endowed with Roman auctoritas and a better sense of preservation than the Visigoths…
