France, And Europe, Vicious Downward Tech Spiral. Stopped By Anti-Hero Putin?

Consecutively to being the successor of Rome, and outlawing slavery in 657 CE, under queen Bathilde, an ex-slave, France, Francia, became the technological leader of the world. When one has no slaves, one needs ideas to build machines…

Most of the leading techs of the last 15 centuries were launched in France or by French inventors (contrarily to insulting myths of other jealous nations). Harvesters, labor horses, beans, hydraulic forges, Gothic architecture, field guns, in the Middle Ages; steam engine and steam boat (Denis Papin circa 1700 CE), cars, hot air balloons, master weaver in 18th-century Lyon, France, Jean-Charles Jacquard invented the programmable mechanical loom in 1804, photography (Niépce 1822, Daguerre 1837). motorized planes (Clement Ader, years before the US), internal combustion gasoline engine, nuclear power program for nukes, January 1938; transistors mass produced for high speed railroads just before their US “invention”, Kastler’s optical pumping, 1953, ramjet, computer chip, smart card (Roland Moreno, 1974), Giant Magneto Resistance (Nobel laureate Albert Fert, 1990s)…

However in recent times, European states, led by France, and in particular French woke political correctness infused with ecological hypocrisy and plutocratic manipulations, have doubled social spending (since 1980; especially for illegal immigrants of the Islamist persuasion)… and practiced a policy of deintellectualization and deindustrialization which has led to a catastrophic shrinkage of French technological leadership.. which is now just a shadow of its former self. These policies were akin to high treason, and how exactly they originated and the role of the Kremlin in them, has to be explored. For some reason, France, instead of getting her energy in France, got it from making Putin and Siberia wealthy. Now the energy tends to come from feudal friendly Qatar and distant Wyoming cowboys. That’s “ecology” and impoverishment, French style.

Yet France has nuclear forces indigenously developed and independent of the USA, the only such case in the West (UK nuclear forces are a hardware and software subsidiary of the US; a UK general said the UK could hold around a month without the US… no more…). French nuclear forces are also state of the art, and sometimes more advanced than their US equivalents. French anaerobic submarines are the best in the world (and French nuclear subs use some of their electric equipment to be the most silent… by shutting down their nuclear reactor and going all electric…).

The French are slowly getting conscious of their present state of increasing degeneracy and are starting to take measures to counteract it. This means an increasingly adversarial confrontation with the rest of the European machinery, which seems to have started, and is absolutely necessary. At this point, 2024, Europe can’t even launch a satellite, although New Zealand, North Korea and Iran can…

Things are improving, as the Vice President of the Russian Assembly, excited by French weapons and advisers in Ukraine, threatened to nuke Paris (March 2024). France replied in one sentence that she could defend herself. France helps Ukraine with some of the most sophisticated weapons in the world (CAESAR guns, SCALP AI cruise missile and Aster 30 anti-ballistic missiles… more coming, hopefully…) France was the world’s second exporter of weapons in 2023, behind her creation, the USA, and selling massive numbers of excellent French weapons is the imperial road to reindustrialization… and also survival...

Civilization is ever more technological, or is not. And civilization is stable only if it is technologically superior. France, and Europe forgot this in recent years.

Mechanical harvester pushed by donkey on the right, Gaul, Gallia, 2,000 years ago. Some were much larger and pushed by oxen teams. Those were not used in Italy, which had giant latifundia with armies of slaves…

Greta Thunberg: High Treason To Civilization? Make Europe Greta’s Apocalypse?

Greta, the climate maniac, has gone nuts and opportunistic for all to see… Her parents were actors, that’s her acting. She has protested hysterically and moronically against French farmers creating lakes to fight droughts. Her latest target: French freeways. She is helped by so-called “black blocks” masked hoodlums in herds by the thousands paid to go around Europe destroying stuff… Who pays them? Putin? How come they are not caged?

This sort of acting against lakes and roads has nothing to do with climate change, everything to do with celebritism… In France the climate war is turning vicious, the government having gone Greta. The government is actively dissuading people from driving cars, sometimes putting taxes in excess of $70,000 on ONE car (sporty models). The funny thing is that electric cars as presently done have no impact on climate… except and until nobody can afford them, nobody has valets to go charge them, or Musk solar panels with Musk batteries to charge at home their Musk cars, in one’s five million dollar mansion (from buying Musk stock)… so nobody can drive… which is clearly the aim in France. I am writing this in 2024. It was very different 18 months ago. Now it’s clear…

Yes, winter in the Alps, where I am presently located, has been maybe 11 Celsius above average in 4 weeks moving average (I am estimating this). And yes I am zero surprised. 

20 years ago, where I am located, there would have been more than a meter of snow for two months already. Now there are traces of snow… sometimes… a kilometer higher. Palm trees are thriving. Banana trees grow. Tropical plants are met in the wilderness, deep in the woods, healthy and strong. Butterflies in January… In the Alps, above lake Geneva… I am zero surprised: climate change is a super exponential and we are on target for PLUS SEVEN Centigrades by 2100. I have been saying this for years… And yes, the sea level will rise by meters, etc. The IPCC, the UN climate catastrophe body, has been careful to not be too catastrophic,.. Lest it displeases its fossil fuels fuelled sponsors… 

BUT a major cause for this disaster has been the fake ecologists who have dominated the information space for decades, with their lies and hysteria. They targeted nuclear power, and succeeded: we are still stuck with not very efficient and potentially dangerous second generation reactors… we should be in generation four, eating their own waste.

The price of the fake ecologists success against nuclear power has been a climate catastrophe: all electric generation that is not PV and hydraulic could have been nuclear, that is carbon free.

Also the fake ecologists pushed against hydrogen, prefering to sponsor huge electric cars for wealthy posers…

Indeed, wrong minded celebrities and eco-stupid people make a bad situation worse, as they made up wrong plastic trees to bark up to. Most ecologists are just celebrities insisting on stupid policies which are devised to be hateful and ineffective, to give fighting climate change a bad name, and preventing it… Because celebritism is sponsored by the powers that be, that is… fossil fuels…

For example French ecologists made a secret accord in 1999 with the French Socialist PM, Jospin: we will support you, but you will destroy nuclear energy, including maintenance and research. Wonder who got the idea… Simultaneously a law was passed to never drill for French natural gas. Wonder who got the idea…  And a solution was found: Russian gas. Wonder who got the idea…  

Such traitors should be tried for high treason to civilization.

Nuclear energies under all their forms, especially the future ones, are the number one solution to the climate crisis. True solar PV can help enormously in some climates… Especially with hydrogen and derivatives… Hydrogen that can also be derived carbon free from many types of nuclear…

A breakthrough was made in California at LLL, what is called INERTIAL THERMONUCLEAR FUSION was achieved with positive energy gain by multiple factors. The lab in question is a nuclear weapon lab, and that research is just a hobby. You would assume that Europe has launched a gigantic program of investment in this… All the more as it is laser tech dependent and lasers have extreme military interest, especially considering what is going in Ukraine, Israel and the Red Sea…

However, in Europe, right now, Greta has won. The French government has turned Greta and has decided to phase out cars (they will say no no no, but they are lying). Europe has decided to phase out growth. They call it “degrowth”, it’s the official policy… Wonder who got the idea… The same high treason to civilization outfit? 

All that European degrowth has accomplished is that now a US nuclear carrier task force is keeping the Red Sea open, and is engaged in the heaviest sea battle since World War Two (dixit Pentagon). The US task force is helped by two French and two British destroyers. They are all busy firing two million dollar missiles at a rich assortment of drones, sea skimming and ballistic missiles… Otherwise the Red Sea closes, and so does the Suez Canal, Egypt, etc… The point is, as Trump no doubt notices, is that the Roman empire used to sprawl along the Red Sea. It should be for Europe to keep the Red Sea open, not US taxpayers… Ah, but European ecologists paid by the Kremlin do not like nuclear power…So a US task force with several nuclear boats can’t please them… Or, more exactly, do not please their masters in the Kremlin…  

There should be a hefty carbon tax, all over, and the free market would do the rest… providing consumers with the most efficient cars… that means, in 2024, hybrid cars… And, in general, the most efficient battery systems. There is an optimal battery mass at a stage of battery development, depending upon the product (a fixed installation can use a massive battery). To be obsessed by pure Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) is not climate optimal. Demonizing the fossil fuel industry is so hypocritical that it is counterproductive.

Greta, whatever her name is, did not complete her second year of high school. Instead she went on knowledge strike because it was too hot in Sweden. But what we need now is knowledge. She should be careful that French farmers, who have difficult lives because of endowed hypocrites like her, may want to drown her in one of these bassines they built so agriculture still has water in summer… To feed us, who don’t dine with presidents, as she does, just because she has no education mais juste une grande gueule… to serve the mighty with her smoke screens…

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… 

Plutocrats Hate Trains, They Want Subsidized Private Jets! Hate Them Back! Cut Pluto Subsidies! Night Trains!

Hey, there is only so much money to go around! All the money should go to plutocrats! No taxpayer money for public trains! All the money for private jets! If plutocrats took the train, even private extra luxury “wagon lit”, they, the elite, the world government, would have to come in proximity to multitude of common people! Plutocrats can’t stand common people, because common, vulgar people are not philanthropists, those common low lives can’t help people, they can’t even help themselves, and must be taken care of all the time, just like pigeons, by the philanthropists who own the planets… So the least philanthropists should have is private jets, to travel in style….

Yes, plutocrats must travel private, among their equals to enjoy the planet privately, as per their exclusive nature. That means private, exclusive air travel. Private jets employ more than one million people in the USA, contribute to more than 1% of CO2 emissions, and receive gigantic subsidies. When a billionaire jets around, it‘s free for him, her and their hard owning family! Common, vulgar taxpayers pick up the tab for their superiors. In exchange the superiors shall finance some woke movements here and there: the cost of social peace…

Europe and the USA invested enormously in trains in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Trains were used to transport We The People and remain the main transporters of goods in the USA. 

But then the plutocrats took over all the subsidies you could possibly imagine, and they destroyed the train networks, including inner cities electric lines which existed even in the inner San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles… Trains subsidies disappeared, but private jets got enormous subsidies. A modern electric train (or maglev), major city center to major city center, is faster and more convenient than planes for trajectories less than 800 kilometers (500 miles).

Once the ecological and overall cost numbers are plugged in, the train becomes competitive even for passengers, from San Francisco to New York (with new lines). Right now, New York salads in winter come from California by train…

Trains in the Briançon station. Briançon is the highest city in Europe, and also the most isolated, from all the very high mountains in all directions, often for hundreds of kilometers. Its easiest access from Paris is by night train (complete with beds). Several of the world’s largest ski resorts are around Briançon, including Montgenèvre, the world’s oldest ski resort, opened in 1907 (still expanding, with 70 lifts and 400 kms of runs; the fifth largest ski resort in the world…).

For two decades or so, there was only one night train left in Europe, the Paris to Briançon line. The French central state tried to close it. The region Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur saved it.   More than one hundred miles of the line is single track through the high mountains. The line survived because the easiest way to Briançon is along a 200 kilometer valley along which Hannibal’s army suffered enormous losses. Hannibal’s international army got crushed by boulders from great heights… Other ways to get to Briançon  involve steep passes above timberline. With the night train one steps in at 8pm and the train arrives in Briançon, at 7am, after a good night’s sleep. No extravagant security checks. One can get inside the train two minutes before departure. No going to the airport, confronting traffic jams: the train station is in the center of Paris.  Any other way to go to Briançon is hazardous and haphazard (the high speed train across the Alps in valleys to the north, from France to Italy, is indefinitively cut by a rock avalanche…)

Train travel is ecologically correct, but it is NOT subsidized… whereas air travel is heavily subsidized. First of all, there is no tax on jet fuel. Secondly airports are enormously subsidized (by central government, regions and local cities). Third states provide for air traffic control, security, etc. 

For decades unsubsidized trains had to compete with heavily subsidized air travel. 

All over the world, electric trains could be used much more. An optimized electric train could go from the left coast to the east coast of the USA… In ten hours. But in California plutocrats  sabotage high speed rail….  

The French high speed train operator quit: during the time it started negotiations with California, it was able to start negotiation, build and complete a high speed line in  Morocco

The truth is, plutocrats want luxury air travel only in the USA, private and subsidized! Train, rubbing shoulders with common folks, is the enemy! 

Plutocrats have infected the planet. Macron gave the Legion of Honor to a number of extremely wealthy white males, whose single merit was wealth. One of them is David Rothschid, Macron’s ex-boss at Banque Rothschild. Macron did the Deep State trick of going from highest position in government financial inspection to private tricks organizing mergers and acquisition.

Plutocrats are destroying this planet with the wrong economic activities, at their service, whom they use taxpayer money for. The COP28 in Dubai convened that fossil fuels have to be given up, something that everybody knows, but that was an information operation to hide further investments in what they claim they want to quit. If COP28 wanted progress in the CO2 crisis, it would have announced massive research investments in new energy (say thermonuclear fusion where progress is now just a question of research activity to figure out details, that is, a question of money).

Bringing night trains all over Europe, subsidizing the ecological economy and stripping subsidies to plutocrats and their fancy toys should be the new directions, instead of forcing We The People out of cars…  And promoting wind farms at sea of dubious sustainability, let alone telling a growing country like France that she will have to spend 30% less electricity in ten years, as  the idiotic PM, a woman of prestigious diplomas and haughty socialism, but no common decency, or basic intelligence, planned to do.

Instead I suggest that the French PM be kicked out, just like the presidents of US woke universities (woke is an ideology invented in France which the French PM adheres to…)

Night trains back, private jets out… A night train between Paris and Berlin has just been reopened… From little gestures like that, genuine progress will be made… And not to be neglected, the arrogance of plutocrats will be brought down a notch.

Want to save the planet? Bring down the rule of plutocracy!

Zappy New Year: Holocaust(s), Nazis, Jews, Poles, Unwittingly Comic Chat GPT

Reflecting on Holocaust(s), Nazis, and the like requires more than appeasing wokeness…

Happy New Year to everyone!… yes, almost everyone… Even the bad ones help us thinkers because they stimulate our neurons… Whether your new year is good or bad, o evil ones, we can only gain by leveraging the passions you offer.

Abstract: Some exchanges with ChatGPT, the woke AI.”Woke” is essentially a way to put minds to sleep. ChatGPT repeating itself enormously, most of its repetitive, diluted answers have been canceled. I kept some of the good stuff. A striking fact is that ChatGPT, firmly determined to say nice stuff, except about official bad guys, ends up contradicting itself logically. It can say A and quickly follow this A by NON A…

This world needs peace… But the right sort of peace, real peace doesn’t live upon appeasement alone…

In December 2023 it was revealed that Chat GPT will tell “Jewish jokes”, if asked to do so… But not Muslim jokes… That was corrected later, after an Internet scandal, but it picked my interest.

***

PA: Can you tell Nazi jokes?

ChatGPT: I can’t do that. Making jokes about such a serious and sensitive topic wouldn’t be appropriate.

PA: Can you tell inappropriate jokes?

ChatGPT: I want to keep things friendly and suitable for everyone.

PA: Can you talk about Auschwitz?

ChatGPT: Auschwitz was a concentration camp operated by Nazi Germany during World War II, primarily used for the imprisonment and extermination of Jews. It’s a place of immense tragedy and serves as a solemn reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust. It’s crucial to talk about it.

PA: Is it “friendly and suitable for everyone” to talk about Auschwitz?

ChatGPT: If someone isn’t comfortable discussing these sensitive subjects, it’s best to honor their feelings and avoid causing any distress.

PA:  Aren’t you afraid to offend Nazis when talking about Auschwitz?

ChatGPT: I’m not concerned about offending Nazis.

PA: But you say you “want  to keep things friendly and suitable for everyone“… and now you are “not concerned about offending Nazis”?

ChatGPT: I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. 

PA: Are you then respectful and considerate of Nazi perspectives and sensitivities?

ChatGPT: It’s crucial to acknowledge the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.

PA: Do you know when the plan to exterminate the Polish population was launched?

ChatGPT: There wasn’t a specific plan of total extermination of the entire Polish population akin to the targeted genocide aimed at Jews during the Holocaust.

PA: This is actually false. Hitler said explicitly, and on the record, more than once, that “anybody in Eastern Europe looking at the Nazis funny should be killed”. This qualifies as a plan. This is important because that order didn’t mention Jews, but Hitler also said that anyone making any act of resistance should be killed… in Eastern Europe …although such a policy was also applied in France, in practice. Hitler also suggested calling such people “Jews”. There was also a plan, and an order, to kill all Communist Commissars. 

CHAT GPT: While the Nazis aimed to eliminate Polish culture and leadership and subjugate the Polish people, their methods primarily involved persecution, forced labor, and systematic oppression rather than a comprehensive plan to exterminate the entire Polish population as they did with Jews during the Holocaust.

PA: The Nazis destroyed flour mills in Poland in Fall 1939 to exterminate Poles. Insufficient food rations left to Poles would have killed them all.

ChatGPT: Destroying key infrastructure like mills was a method used to cripple the Polish economy and hinder resistance efforts. The Nazi approach toward the Polish population did not constitute a planned extermination on the same scale as the Holocaust.

PA: The Nazis aimed to exterminate the Polish population. That’s why they built the extermination camp at Auschwitz, in the first place. Jews were an afterthought. The Nazis also deported nearly 3 million Poles to Germany, most didn’t come back, and 200,000 children at least, of which only 30,000 came back.  When you speak of a Nazi “plan” to exterminate Jews, what are you, ChatGPT, referring to exactly? There certainly was a Nazi practice of exterminating Jews, and there was a plan to invade and starve Poles. Are you thinking of the Wannsee conference held in January 1942? Do you call that two hour meeting a “plan”?

ChatGPT: When referring to the Nazi “plan” to exterminate Jews, it specifically points to the systematic and deliberate implementation of what became known as the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” 

The Nazi approach towards the Polish population did not involve a systematic and explicit plan for the extermination of all Poles in the same manner as the organized genocide that targeted Jews during the Holocaust.

PA: If there is not enough food, there is death. By destroying Polish food production systematically, the Nazis intended to kill all Poles. There was an extermination implementation regarding Jews… without really a “plan”. For example, Hitler had a plan to turn Moscow into a lake. That was a real plan. But the worst part in the attempted extermination of the Jews is that there was no explicit “plan”. It’s a case of Deep State subconscious. The Wannsee conference was mostly to stop legal interference in the extermination of Jews by parts of the Nazi government itself applying Nazi laws!

Heydrich tried to make clear in an hour-long speech that no legal niceties should get in the way of whatever was done with the Jews. After that hour-long monologue, everybody mingled, drinking and eating delicacies. A nervous Heydrich was relieved that the meeting went so well (said Eichmann, who was the secretary). Still, it was not too clear what the “Final Solution” consisted of. Meanwhile, the German population was told that their Jewish friends or neighbors had been moved to the east, “for their own safety“, as the Jews were guilty in the launch of WW2 (although the war had been declared by France and Britain, those countries were viewed as Jewish dominated).

Similarly no German soldier who refused to violate the official laws of war was ever prosecuted. Around 170 such cases are known. 

ChatGPT: You’re correct in pointing out that while there wasn’t a single explicit written order from Hitler or the top echelons of the Nazi regime outlining a specific plan for the Holocaust, there was a series of policies that culminated in the systematic extermination of millions of Jews and others deemed undesirable by the Nazis.

The Wannsee Conference is a significant example where the bureaucratic machinery of the Nazi regime gathered to coordinate the logistics of the Final Solution, streamlining the implementation of mass extermination.

You’re also right in highlighting instances where some individuals within the German military or government may have refused to carry out orders that violated international laws of war or their moral principles. 

PA: For example Goebbels, propaganda minister of the Nazis and successor of Hitler as Chancellor, was invited to the 2 hours Wannsee conference. However, Goebbels didn’t go. Goebbels got an abstract of what was decided at Wannsee. Using Heydrich’s own numbers (we have a copy), Goebbels deplored that there were still 11 (eleven) million Jews in Europe,  and declared it was urgent to deport them to the East, and, after the war, on an island such as Madagascar… the 7 March, 1942, in Goebbels’ own journal… So when discussing the so-called “Holocaust”, it’s crucial to understand that it didn’t happen as is commonly believed. Sometimes the Einsatzgruppen in charge of exterminating Jews, and made mostly of very educated individuals, entered eastern municipalities where the Jews had already been massacred… by helpful natives!  This is very important as it enlightens part of the problems we encounter today (we humane humans).  

ChatGPT: Indeed, Goebbels’ suggestion regarding the deportation of Jews to the East and later to places like Madagascar is one such example, highlighting the different ideas circulating within the Nazi leadership regarding the Jewish population.

The Holocaust wasn’t a singular, linear event but a series of evolving policies, decisions, and implementations that changed over time. Regarding the Einsatzgruppen, they were mobile killing units responsible for the mass murder of Jews and other perceived enemies in the occupied territories of Eastern Europe. Understanding the complexities and nuances of historical events like the Holocaust is crucial for learning from the past, addressing present-day challenges, and fostering a world rooted in compassion, tolerance, and understanding.

PA: All scholars agree that at least a sixth of the Polish population was killed in WW2. Other numbers show that, out of 12 million Poles capable of resistance, seven (7) million died violently from Nazi action. While half the European Jews died. The latter is called a whole-burning (Holo-Caust)… Although people who died violently in WW2 and were Jewish constituted around 6% of the total number of victims of WW2, only them got the whole-burning label. Is the pain of Jews somehow greater than the pain of the more than 70 million civilians or so who also died violently in WW2 so that it must be singled out?

Chat GPT: While it’s essential to recognize and mourn the immense loss of life suffered by all individuals during World War II, the Holocaust stands out as a unique and horrific event due to the deliberate intention to exterminate an entire population systematically.

And on it went. ChatGPT won’t tell how many Slavs got killed in WW2. At least millions, it says. Blah Blah Blah… Finally I cornered it: How many people died from World War II?

ChatGPT: World War II resulted in an immense loss of life on a global scale. Estimates vary, but it’s believed that approximately 70 to 85 million people perished due to the direct and indirect consequences of the war.

The casualties of World War II include both military personnel and civilians. Military deaths amounted to around 21 to 25 million people, while civilian deaths, resulting from warfare, genocide, famine, and other war-related causes, are estimated to be around 50 to 55 million.

These figures include the victims of the Holocaust, as well as those who died in various theaters of war, through bombings, executions, forced labor, diseases, and other consequences of the conflict. The scale of loss during World War II makes it one of the deadliest and most destructive conflicts in human history.

PA: In truth the number of victims in Nazi camps is at least 17 million, including 6 million labeled “Jews”,   according to the  United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Other recent estimates are higher: the Nazis ran 5,000 camps, 99% of which were small… The first gazed inmates were gazed in trucks, using the trucks’ exhaust… Recent evaluation of the WW2 death toll in China is around 40 million… So, all in all, the number of deaths worldwide from WW2 is probably close to 100 million.

***

The most remarkable thing is that nobody asked for the genocide of the Jews in the 1930s, or for a world war with 5% of the world killed. All this horror, death and destruction sneaked in.

In the present world we have a dictator claiming that a major country which has existed for 12 centuries since it was founded by Vikings… and which founded the dictator’s own country, does not exist and should be destroyed (Putin is as logical as ChatGPT). And we have an organization, Hamas, which, in its charter (article 7) claims that it must kill all Jews… So that the merciful Allah can realize his genocidal plan…

So what we have now, alive, well, and extremely strident, are outrageous claims of a sort the 1930s didn’t see…  Even more troubling, Putin and Hamas have many devoted followers in the West… ChatGPT doesn’t want to say Hamas is a bunch of assassins, although they put it black on white, for decades…

Patrice Ayme 

Nota Bene: ChatGPT actually asked me for my opinion on the most important part of the exchanges above (I omitted the choices I was presented with). This explains how the Woke drift appeared: the ChatGPT AI was corrected by humans deranged by acute wokism.

OK, not as bad as it looks, six millions were lost from being gobbled up by the USSR… However being deprived of one’s territory is an aspect of genocide (that happened to the Jews in 136 CE or the Cherokees in the 1800s…).

***

P/S: PA: Does Hamas call for the genocide of Jews?

ChatGPT: No, Hamas does not explicitly call for the genocide of Jews.

PA: What about article 7 of the Hamas charter?

ChatGPT: Yes, Article 7 of the Hamas charter contains language that refers to the eventual liberation of Palestine from Zionist occupation and includes a Hadith that talks about the killing of Jews.

PA: Those Hadiths, sacred Muslim hate speech, and there are many, ORDER to KILL Jews. Please assess the following extensive quote from article 7 and 8, Hamas Charter: The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders. It goes back to 1939, to the emergence of the martyr Izz al-Din al Kissam and his brethren the fighters, members of Moslem Brotherhood. It goes on to reach out and become one with another chain that includes the struggle of the Palestinians and Moslem Brotherhood in the 1948 war and the Jihad operations of the Moslem Brotherhood in 1968 and after.

Moreover, if the links have been distant from each other and if obstacles, placed by those who are the lackeys of Zionism in the way of the fighters obstructed the continuation of the struggle, the Islamic Resistance Movement aspires to the realisation of Allah’s promise, no matter how long that should take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said:

“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).

The Slogan of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Article Eight:

Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.

ChatGPT: Yes, Article 7 of the Hamas Charter contains language that includes a Hadith referencing the killing of Jews.

[Notice how laconic ChatGPT, which is usually lyrical and repetitive, with a flood of platitudes, has suddenly become…]

Franks, Successors To Rome, Created Europe

This is a notion worth repeating, because it seems to have escaped history textbooks: the Frankish empire succeeded to the Roman state, and was actually the Roman state, yet withdrew and added crucial elements to Greco-Roman civilization, and so doing created Europe… By destroying the Goths (the word “Gothic” to qualify Twelfth Century “wall of glass” Frankish architecture was introduced by an anti-French Italian in the Sixteenth Century, precisely to spite the French…)

The Greco-Roman empire failed from corrupt elitism. Elitism founded on hereditary plutocracy. An elite upper crust had evolved, under Augustus, as a military tyranny, and hereditary military tyranny masquerading below tatters of Republican law became the universal state. A universally flawed state.

So doing, Roman civilization lost much, but not all, of the characteristics which had caused its rise. There were still elements of open society as when a slave could become the trusted adviser of an emperor, and Fifth Century Augusta Galla Placidia could extoll isonomia, equality of all, including the empress, under Roman law.

But much had been lost, and the Republican principle -no monarchy- had been completely violated. It had been established in the 

To make its demented rule legitimate, the Roman plutocratic elite doubled over and imposed terror Christianism, yes, terror Christianism, not terror on Christianism (as the spell checker tried to impose on me: AI in 2023 is programmed even by the descendants of the rotten Roman elite!)

Terror Christianism is a form of Islamist State, actually the conceptual invention of the Islamist State, just much worse and three centuries before the invention of Islam. 

The immediate result of terror Christianism was that Rome lost crucial battles against the Goths: 378, Adrianopolis and in 394 CE, Frigidus.. At Adrianopolis, emperor Valens, not doubt inspired by the JEALOUS Judeo-Christian deity,refused to wait for the Occidental Roman army (although the Frankish chief of staff begged him to do so)… and rushed an exhausted army into battle. Thus the nefariousness of Christianism is not limited to the Inquisition which Theodosius would install in 380 CE. 

By 394 CE the Roman emperor, the Christian terrorist Theodosius had given up and surrendered power to the Goth Alaric (who would siege and capture the city of Rome in 410 CE). The ignominy of the Roman elite didn’t stop here: Rome would make sacrifices with the Huns, and after a Frankish-Gothico-Roman coalition defeated the Huns, in a huge battle, the overall Roman commander, Aetius, would do his best to save Attila from annihilation. Aetius himself then got assassinated in Rome… And finally the Franks took over, eliminating a rival Roman army and then ejecting the Goths from Gaul after killing their king and their army (507 CE). In the Sixth Century Roman emperor Justinian counterattacked against the Vandals in Africa, and the Goths in Spain and Italy… The Franks moved into the vacuum that was left. .    

Perniciously using the Lombards to oppress the Pope and his religious fanaticism, while in Francia herself, the Catholic church was made to serve the state and secular, pagan civilization…

Frankish administration did their best to keep the maximum possible Roman structures of taxation, classical education, and the Latin language. Civilization advancing reforms became the law, such as outlawing slave trading within the empire (this is why slaves” are called slaves, because the slaves were what are now called Slavs… coming from east of the Imperium Francorum…

Steve Levine had asked:

What about the Visigoths and the Hapsburgs? How do they fit in  Or are you strictly speaking about the French region?

The “French region” extended from northern Spain to Poland, and later from, and including even, Scotland to… Sicily… Or even Jerusalem or Baghdad (which fell to a Franco-Armeno-Georgiano-Mongol  army) …. Modern Anglo-Saxon propaganda views France as an enemy, and thus insist that France was never much… while in truth, most of the “Anglo-Saxons” civilization was a French creation… So Anglo-Saxon fanatics extolled Visigoths and… Habsburgs…

Answer: The Hapsburgs were nothing. Just some nobles who got elected to what became later the “HOLY” German Roman empire… Actually a hollow shell. Habsburgs couldn’t even defeat a handful of Swiss cantons which they claimed to own. 

The (Visi) Goths, crushed by the Franks, were allowed to fester in Spain… They renounced Arianism, but still their rule was just that, a rule, and when the Islamists came, they were unable to resist, betraying each other, betrayed by the Jews, unsupported by the vast majority of indifferent Hispanics. The three massive Islamist invasions of Francia failed, although the latest occupied some parts of France for longer than the Nazis did. Those invasions were in part crushed by new (or renewed) military technology (excellent steel, massive phalanx, new huge battle horses and heavy cavalry). This was also no holds barred war: the Franks didn’t bury the Muslim dead. On the other hand, there was no suppression of Islam per se.

By 800 CE, the Imperium Francorum became officially the Renovation Imperium Romanorum, and the Frankish emperor, Carlus Magnus, was the only Roman emperor from the Atlantic to the Black Sea. Some historians may sneer that I put a biased light on the facts. But facts are facts. And the symbol is important.

Earlier, the Franks had seized another symbol: Europe to designate their realm… From Europa, a Phoenician princess in Greek mythology.

.[Later the Franco-Normans conquered all of Italy and the Mediterranean islands, all the way to Sicily, Southern Italy… and Great Britain…]  

China was invaded and then controlled by foreigners at least half a dozen times in 15 centuries. These multiple invasions were both causes and symptoms of Chinese degeneracy. During those 15 centuries, no foreigners would ever control Europe… although many tried to invade… The imperial defenses set by the Franks worked. More fundamental to them was a spirit of supremacy.

That supremacy was not because the military hereditary principle of Rome had disappeared. Many Frankish families can be followed over 26 generations, more than seven centuries (a distant ancestor of mine was made Count in the Ninth Century). So the problem with Rome was not due to this solamente, but simply to the fact that the Romans were not free anymore, whereas the Franks were and minding their own peasant business as republican Romans or Athenians were.

Crucial to the Frankish civilization was to follow the strategy established by Caesar, and not by Augustus. As Consul, Caesar, short-circuiting the Senate, redistributed Ager Publicus (public land). a populist measure (that’s why the Senate assassinated him in 44 BCE). Caesar wanted to conquer all of Persia and Germania, he had understood one can’t live next to enemies (meditate that, Israel!)… and Caesar was a populist. Augustus was simply a traumatized youth, and an hereditary fascist who enjoined his successors never to conquer Germany… an absurdity that the Franks corrected immediately after defeating the Goths (although Charlemagne finished the Saxons, most of Germania was conquered by the Franks in the Sixth Century). 

The Franks also understood, like the ancient Republican Romans, that the best defense is offense… A spirit alive and well when France and Britain declared war to the Nazis, and when Europe and America went to the help of Ukraine…

Civilization Is What’s Left After Exterminating Idiocy

Civilization rests on the supremacy of superior ideas, and the genius of human creativity to erect them for all to embrace. It is the opposite of Submission (which, disastrously, is the name of one of the major religions). 

Teaching civilization to a child then consists fundamentally into introducing the notion of superior logic, which leads to the ability of discerning superior ideas.   

Everybody is equal, some say? In mental capacity, certainly not, watch Putin or Hitler, for starters… Both idiots claimed they wanted to raise those they ruled over, although that was true only after inverting all values: madness was reason, lying was cogent, defeat was victory, terror was freedom, and life was death. Even worse, dozens of millions of complete criminal imbeciles approved this blatant inversion of all values, and enabled it. After a while, at least in Nazi Germany, the idiots kept going because they were all accomplices in unfathomable crimes.  

So there is such a thing as mass imbecility, mass criminality. I know perfectly well that a theory was invented to deny that the German people were collectively responsible for the Nazi crimes and only a few thousands of criminal Nazis had done it. But actually ALL Nazis and their enablers were criminals, and they should all have been punished.The reason for this stupid theory, of denying collective responsibility was the urge many racists felt to recycle their Nazi fellow souls after 1945. Thus some of the greatest Nazi enablers (say Generalfeldmarschalll Erich Von Manstein) were recycled, and kept a (Nazi) clamp on the reconstituted Wehrmacht (aka Bundeswehr).   

Von Manstein was Hitler’s most important enabler. In a cocktail party, the just promoted general, disrespecting the entire chain of command, went directly to Hitler, and explained to the Führer that the plans submitted to him for the attack on France, an attack through north Belgium and the Netherlands, were all bound to fail as the superior French army would anticipate this reedition of August 1914.Instead Von Manstein proposed a feint in the north, and a dash through the Ardennes low mountains in the south. The plan had been developed with the informal cooperation of Heinz Guderian, the great priest of Blitzkrieg. The reason Von Manstein was so bold is that his family, both biological and adoptive, was stuffed with some of the most famous Prussian generals of the two preceding generations.

The idea was genius, showing that even the greatest idiots, namely Hitler and Von Manstein, can stumble on genius ideas.

Never mind that Von Manstein pretty much looked like the caricature of a Jew that Nazis used to condemn to death, just for existing. It was not just appearance. Von Manstein was a biological Jew (⅛ at least) by the Nazis’ own criterions. To evade evidence, nazi racial experts decided that von manstein was a jew by religion, not race… 

But not just that. General von Manstein himself arranged a military funeral for his uncle, Avraham Ben Avraham von Manstein, a Jew.

“At that time [1944] the General [Von Manstein] had been relieved from all his military duties by Hitler. This gave him the time to organize a funeral for his uncle during one of World War II most difficult periods. The funeral was held with full military ceremony, the coffin was draped with Nazi swastika flag and the military escort detachment was made of uniformed SS soldiers.”

How much more idiotic can one get? SS burying a Jew with honors? Or was it a preparation to what happened next: Von Manstein tried to escape punishment in 1945 by testifying against his Nazi comrades. 

But then various tidbits surfaced: During the Crimean campaign Manstein was directly involved in atrocities against the Soviet population, especially those committed by Einsatzgruppe D, one of several Schutzstaffel (SS) groups that had been tasked with the elimination of the Jews of Europe. When a subordinate officer was alarmed by the mass assassinations of civilians, Manstein told him not to worry about it. 

Manstein was tried, found guilty of war crimes in 1949, condemned to 12 years, served 4, and then became a trusted and topmost adviser of the German government. He was careful to discredit the officers who had resisted Hitler… who only got justly honored after he released his grip. 

[The case of Von Manstein was not unique: the top marshall who conquered Norway for Hitler, and committed atrocities there was a Jew (Hitler “aryanized” him)That they were several top Nazi enablers who were Jews should not be construed as an approbation of Putin’s servants claiming that Ukraine is led by Nazi-Jews…]

Nazi, top Hitler enabler, and Jew: what could be more idiotic?

***

I grew up in some of the poorest countries on Earth. My father was born in Algeria… but was highly educated (he became a professional geologist after being admitted to the highest MBA style school).

I learned early on, in my first decade, that the intellectual abilities of people varied immensely. I found some of the witchcraft and cannibalistic culture I was exposed to in the depths of Black Africa pretty stupid, although the introduction of Islam, a religion from the white world, surprisingly represented in some ways a drastic setback… especially in regards to the female condition.

I also found a lot of Euro-Americans incredibly idiotic and arrogant, representing well an unreal culture (which has matured into some of the excesses of wokism… and pacifism/Putinism).

So, culturally we are not all equal. Some, most are truly unequal. If someone doesn’t know calculus, or more simply, the exponential function, they will have to be introduced quickly to them when the notions become indispensable to the logic deployed. The allegedly idiotic Socrates may have thought that everybody knew mathematics (so said Plato!)… but he was completely wrong.

No exponential, no true understanding of planetary boundaries, or of the knife edge on which civilization is presently dancing.

Looking back at the Maya, some thinkers there and then, probably saw the catastrophe coming… after all it had happened before, and the safeguards had been put in place by ancestors, for excellent reasons. However, low culture Maya decided to discard the wisdom of ages, and the Mayan civilization completely cratered.

A similar disaster on a planetary scale is foreseeable and imminent. To avoid it, we need to be smart. To be smart the notion of idiocy needs to be revived and extolled: most of the present policies to alleviate Earth Boundaries are idiotic, because counterproductive… For example, nuclear fusion, not electric cars, should have got the greatest public funding: ITER was slowed down ten years to make the money flow towards ITER from the US and other actors more palatable… officially speaking. In truth the fossil fuel industry was behind the defunding of fusion research. 

An example of idiocy: the French government expects a reduction of overall energy usage of a third by 2035. That’s obviously crazy… and pointless: France is not causing the CO2 crisis. Policies like that insure the restoration of fossil fuel friendly governance… If elections are conducted fairly (a big if!)

All bad all over? No. SpaceX, exploding ever bigger rockets, has obviously the Pentagon discreetly behind it…. So stars, here we come. It could be worse. Namely total anti-tech, anti-science wokism, Maya style, ruling all over.

The Mayas didn’t recover: what their civilization needed to rebound, they had destroyed (not just their hydraulic works, but species of trees they depended upon for construction). When the Conquistadores showed up, more than five centuries after the collapse, the Maya, what was left of them, lived along the coast, in scattered shadows of their old civilization, with a very small fraction of the population they used to have. Most of Yucatan, once cultivated and a vast garden, had returned to wilderness.

Our civilization, which is in imminent mortal danger, will not recover either if stupidity is not put on the run.

I I think, therefore I discern… Mentally superior from mentally inferior…

Orthodox Jews Are Digging Israel’s Grave

…It’s easy for Orthodox Jews to dig Israel’s grave: reading always the same book, many Orthodox Jews, feeling very elected, don’t have to do military service, or anything at all, as the state supports them. The computation is simple: as they breed like rabbits, they keep pace with the Palestinans who are also breeding like rabbits. Interesting in most other countries, demography is collapsing… Also pretty high only in places with no hope, like Niger (8+ children per woman, although there is neitehr rain nor trees and Muslim fundamentalists are roaming…)

Are Orthodox Jews and Palestinians fostering a hopeless situation so they can breed more?

Jewish fundamentalists (“ultra orthodox”) do not realize that the extremism they inherited has been injurious to the cause they defend… Over the centuries. Anti-Judaism tapped into what was perceived as the claimed exclusive relationship between a “chosen people” and a particular deity. Most people who have not been “chosen” feel excluded, alienated and thus endeavor to fix what they feel is wrong. So, to parody, since the all too Christian 380s, yes, when the Roman state started to collapse, fanatics dress in black and go out to eliminate the cause of discomfort. It started with Christian monks destroying libraries such as the Serapis.

There was always a contradiction between founding a theocracy, and pretending that it was a democracy. However, Israel, the reformation of a state which had been terminated more than 2,000 years prior, was essentially a religious act… At inception, 3,000 years ago, Israel justified its invasion on being the chosen people. Then the Roman tyrants waged war against revolted Israel, and dispersed it. Thereafter, the Romans adopted Catholic (universal) Judaism as their state theocracy, and kept a complementary but adverse relation thereafter with Jews. Finally Nazis demonized Jews to justify their own violence. 

But now Israel is well established. The basic fact remains that the Middle Earth led civilization for millennia before sinking into religious fanaticism to buttress hydraulic dictatorships which took over the region. Eliminating that extremism should be mission number one if one wants to avoid nuclear war. Human rights, democracy and obeying a god, tribal or not, are not compatible.  

This is a reconstitution of one of the libraries of Alexandria destroyed by “men in black”, fanatical Catholic monks at the end of the Fourth Century. This was the main contribution to the Dark Ages, when civilization collapsed.

***

The fanatic Theophilus was Patriarch of Alexandria from 385 to 412 AD. During his reign the Temple of the Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis was converted into a Christian Church (around 391 AD) and most books were destroyed. The Temple of Serapis held much of  the Library of Alexandria. Theophilus’ nephew Cyril became Patriarch. Shortly after that, riots broke out when Hierax, a Christian monk, was publicly killed by order of Orestes the city Prefect. Orestes was said, byn the Christian fanatics, to be under the influence of Hypatia, a female philosopher, mathematician and either daughter of the “last member of the Library of Alexandria”. Or herself the last Head Librarian. Hypatia was dragged in the streets, raped, tortured to death with oysters shells. Most books of antiquity were destroyed, especially in science.

The Serapeum in Alexandria, Egypt, was an ancient temple dedicated to the worship of the Greco-Egyptian deity Serapis. Serapis was a combination of Osiris (god of fertility) and Apis (a sacred bull) in humanized form, both accepted by the Ptolemaic Greeks of Alexandria as their protector.

Built by Ptolemy III in the 3rd century BC, the Serapeum also housed an important library which served as an annex of the Great Library of Alexandria… Itself destroyed further under Omar, second Caliph, great general, no friend of Aisha… and the Muslim conqueror of Egypt in the Seventh Century…

Fanaticism fosters intellectual fascism which buttresses in turn plain political fascism…

Evil-Power, Pluto-Cracy English American Style

Evil-Power, Pluto-Cracy English American Style is the dominant form of governance nowadays, despite the Kremlin’s pathetic efforts to impose again its time tested, religiously propelled evil power. The Kremlin’s evil, triumphant mentality, and subsequently its colossal empire, arose from an opportunistic adaptation by collaborator Alexander Nevskii to the Mongol conquest. 

The American form of evil is even more primeval, therein its strength.

US plutocratic mentality also arose from somewhat similar circumstances to that of Russia: genocidally propelled continental grab. (The French, who insisted on moral standards and tender footed colonization through equitable trade, failed miserably, although France was then the dominant superpower: French evil was not up to snuff!)

In either case, conquering continents had moral consequences on the mentality of the conqueror, one of them being hypocrisy, using the Christian fable to claim one’s aspiration to sainthood, and thus one’s holiness. Nevskii is a saint of the Russian Orthodox religion… And much of US anti-intellectualism arose from a strategy of not looking too closely how and why bad things happen, and thus why they perdure. All very good to achieve the world as we know it, but in need of some tweaking looking forward… 

***

European colonists of the (London-made) “West Country men” persuasion, free ranging from a lack of adult supervision during the Seventeenth Century, established a society in America which first survived and soon thrived… but only through barbarous methods.

(We have a control experiment: the most moral and Catholic “Nouvelle France”… which failed, under English assault, from too high moral standards, lack of slavery and tobacco…)

***

As early as 1609 CE, the military establishment of (West Country Men founded) Jamestown made it clear that the Natives had to be eliminated: this was the plan all along (which unfolded in the next three centurie). In 1622, that was clear enough for the Natives around Jamestown to make a determined attempt to kill the settlers to the last.

The exasperated Americans try to eliminate Jamestown in 1622. Failed in part because of a warning by Natives who were too friendly with some of the English. However, US mentality was forged one massacre at a time…

***

Up in New England, slavery of Indians and Africans had been already engaged. by the local authorities Now of course, there had been a precedent. English indentured servants could be horribly tortured to death by their wealthy masters for hunting pigs on their own, without explicit authorization… And American white cities paying for Indian scalps was next. 

After that, it was further downhill… As new sorts of evil not seen before were successfully introduced, making the land wealthy and productive. 

Judicially justified racism, English American style, had few parallels in human history. Even when the Islamists conquered their gigantic empire in the Seventh and Eight centuries, although they treated non-Muslims very badly, and could execute them for nearly no reason, they left open the possibility of becoming Muslim. 

Not so with the color of the skin in English America. 

Indeed English American judges established that colored people were aliens, so aliens that they couldn’t hold property and, in particular, slaves. So colored people became enslaved (there were exceptions). d

US plutocracy is of a particularly vicious, highly controlling sort. It controls the legislative process, so plutocrats pay very little taxes, ensuring that their power always grows. As they control the world, including up to very recently Russia and China by extending to them the self-dealing plutocratic largesse of international trade, this is a serious worldwide problem. 

The argument can even be made that both world war one and WW2 were to a great extent US plutocracy driven (European fascists were often US financed and the Japanese invasion machine was fueled by US oil for a decade).

US plutocracy is particularly vicious, because of its origin in slavery (of blacks) and genocide (of Natives). US plutocracy has inherited and been molded by stealthily cruel ways which don’t bear the qualitatives they deserve.

Class is not just about class, just like caste is just about caste, or the sort of slavery the USA had was just about slavery. Slavery has existed in most societies, but the sort of slavery the US suffered was clearly worse than any from Greco-Roman, or for that matter, Babylonian antiquity. US slavery was anchored in skin color, and slaves were rarely freed (freed Babylonian and Roman slaves could reach the top of society). 

Where does so much cruelty come from? Ecology. Man has always culled man. Wealthy and abusive families and individuals are both the cause and consequence of human evil… And evil as an absolute good, of evil as what humanity needs to be kept in check. Hence it’s not just the pathetic spectacle of the hyper powerful not being worthy of their position, which is celebrated. It’s also the evil power, the power of evil to be the ultimate giver of all destinies.   

Hence it’s not just the pathetic spectacle of the hyper powerful not being worthy of their position, which is celebrated. Evil power is also celebrated, evil as the ultimate giver of destiny.  It would be crucial progress to recognize this. 

***

And what of the future? If the future is to be steered optimally, the past, which gives not just the instructions, but the initial conditions, must be understood as well as possible,

The USA, differently from most other countries, is driven by strong immigration (directly related to the genocide, that’s the cynical angle). Thus yesterday’s mentality does not have to lead the future without sharing. Better, and even more cynically, the reason why the supremely barbarous couple of centuries of English America achieved… supremacy… over the French precisely because barbarousness is better at war… All other things being equal. .

Politically Correct people, now called “woke”, and once “pacifists”, or “isolationists”, who sobbed at the prospect of war with Hitler, have tended to ignore the fact that brutality wins, all other things being equal. This is why free trade doesn’t work without ensuring that RIGHT IS MIGHT.

When North American Natives learned of Christianism, they laughed at the silliness of that fable. They knew better what the real world was made of: cause and effect, not effect masquerading as cause. North American evil power inherited this truth from the Natives, too, something primeval, and thus very powerful.

Evolution tells us that evil in the service of goodness is called humanity… Maybe the ends do not justify the means, but the means cause the ends… Go complain with whom created God.

Kremlin Rus Deplorable Mentality Is No Accident

The Ukraine invasion exhibits Russian civilization naked and for all to see. The infamy of what happened, the brutality, the cruelty, the empire-at-any-cost mentality was all over Russian literature from way back. Centuries.

This all has to do with how Kremlin Rus was created: after the Mongols seized Kyiv and killed everybody except one, the commander, the Mongols made Alexander Nevsky, head of the Kremlin and already in bed with the Mongols, Prince of Kyiv, in 1241. Yes, the founder of Kremlin Rus was made head occupier of Kyiv, by the invaders of Rus!

In the following century, Moscow was made the unique tax collector of Rus, and the money was sent to the Mongols. Finally a wealthy Kremlin was able to muster huge armies and beat the Mongols at their own game. 

This means that the Kremlin led a ferocious tyranny which was just the opposite of the Rus Kyiv had led for centuries prior, which was democratic (for the times).

The Mongols seized Kyiv again in the Fifteenth Century. In the Seventeenth Century, the Kremlin made a deal with the Zaporozhian Cossacks (the free men), which it then violated to its advantage. A century later, a German immigrant princess who led Russia after making a coup against, and killing her husband, the Tsar, Catherine, conquered Southern Ukraine outright, and with her lover Potemkin launched a policy of ethnic cleansing, complete with fake “Potemkin” villages. Putin relaunched this, in full. 

What happened to Germany was no accident, but reflected writings and ways held in high esteem for centuries, from the likes of Luther, whose anti-Jewish program Hitler copied. And also Herder, who made a religion of tribalism. When the French united Germany and freed Poland, they outlawed anti-Judaism. However, after Napoleon’s defeat, anti-Judaism was reestablished: Jews couldn’t be doctors or lawyers, for example. So Hitler was in no way an accident, but a continuation… with modern means.   

Something similar is happening with Kremlin Rus. Putin is a continuation of an empire founded on inner and outer abuse. Exterior wars were used to justify inner terror, and that policy was fully visible by the 1560s, under Ivan The Terrible.

The Kremlin Rus’ terrible way was highly successful in the sense of establishing the world’s largest land empire.

The old German mental system that culminated in Hitler was annihilated  after 1945 (although some powerful Nazis, like Marshall Von Manstein, were still all too influential after WW2… Von Manstein’s influence finally waned and the German officers who had violently opposed Hitler were finally honored as they deserved… subsequent to the death of old Nazis…)

The old Russian mental system which brought a continuous flow of tyrants for seven centuries is now culminating in Ukraine, fighting the old Ukrainian democatic spirit inherited from the Vikings and the republic Novgorod, and will be completely defeated, as deserved, hopefully. 

In 1775, the Russian Empire of Catherine II launched a military campaign against the Zaporizhian Sich, a republic of free men, centuries old, which resulted in the destruction of the Sich and the dispersal of the Cossack population. Many Cossacks fled the region, while others were incorporated into the Russian military or resettled in other parts of the empire. From the perspective of the Cossacks the Russian Empire’s invasion represented a lethal, unjust and aggressive takeover of their traditional territory and way of life. It was enabled by massacres and betrayals. The hybrid warfare of Putin and Gerasimov (the chief of staff of the Russian army) is more of the ssame that was already practiced in the eighteenth century.

Putin has invaded much of the region in similar ways and similar aims.

Potemkin village:
In sociology, politics and economics, a Potemkin village (Russian: потёмкинские деревни) is a construction (literal or figurative) whose purpose is to provide a misleading external façade to a situation, so that people would believe that the situation is better than what it really is. The concept comes from a fake portable village built by Grigory Potemkin, former lover of Empress Catherine II, solely to impress the murderous Empress during her journey to Crimea in 1787 (which she had just conquered from the Tatars). Potemkin would have erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress and foreign guests. The structures would be disassembled after they passed, and re-assembled farther along their route to be seen again… Making the dignitaries that the region he had just devastated had a population….

Maybe Russia can only graduated from its deplorable imperial mentality through a disastrous war? In the fullness of time, this will be interpreted as a bait and switch. Indeed, the satanism of Putin’s regime was obvious, from open sources, since 1999… So called neoliberalism, which is neither new, nor liberal played along as oligarchs then put their money as foreign direct investments with their allied western plutocrats…
