    THE IRRELEVANCE OF DOGMAS, AND THE RELEVANCE OF RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY, RITUAL, AND ADMINISTRATION

    —“the Germanic peoples did not bother to object to individual dogmas, because dogmatic orthodoxy was not central to their notion of religion. The second reason that the Germanization of Christianity is seldom acknowledged may be that now, when syncretic developments are usually associated with “developing nations,” there may exist at least a sub-conscious reluctance by Western Christians to accept the notion that their mainstream religious tradition is itself the result of a syncretic development which eventually became normative.”—

    I mean, having literate folk around to mediate between the aristocracy and the people, and to organize feast, festivals, and to educate each other, is not

    But we have to understand that people in the medieval period treated the church very much like we treat politicians.

    CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A PRODUCT OF ITS ORIGINS, BUT OF ITS TRANSFORMATION INTO GERMANICIZED FOLK RELIGION – RE-INSTITUTIONALIZED UNDER COLONIALISM.

    —-…”a concept is not best understood in light of its origins, but rather in light of the direction in which the tradition is moving. To take Christianity as a notorious example: I do not believe that the truth of Christianity will best be elucidated by a search for its origins, but rather by an observation of its development in tradition. This approach is a reversal of the assumption that has dominated Christian and much other religious scholarship for a very long time, an assumption characterized by the genetic fallacy: that the true meaning of a word—or of an idea—lies in its pristine state.48″—-

    CHRISTIANITY AND THE FUTURE OF OUR PEOPLE

    —“Curt Doolittle what is the subject for which a man who is a Christian is unable to detach himself from his superstitions for a movement to consider the matter from the scientific perspective you put forth?”—Mitchell Ryan

    If I understand correctly 1) abrahamic argument (lying), 2) limiting our ability to outlaw abrahamic argument (lying), 3) limiting the possibility of restoring kin “worship”(debt), and therefore our defeat of the left’s replacement if christianity with universalism (multiculturalism rather than heaven), marxist multicultural democratic socialism (rather than markets and prosperity), postmodernism’s sophism )rather than semitic supernaturalism), and feminism(rather than christian submission.) In other words, our enemy in the current world uses abrahamism today, just as our enemy used abrahamism in the ancient world – for the same ends: destruction of civilizations.

    Now, neither our deism (organization of the universal laws of nature), nor the church’s natural law, nor jesus’s teachings, when stated truthfully (scientifically) are false, or bad, nor will they produce other than the optimum good if stated scientifically. But we are in fact indebted to our ancestors, first and foremost and will not fall prey to the evils of abrahamic faith, and only repaying that debt with recognition (worship) and prohibiting the use of abrahamic deceit by lying, fraud, sophism, superstition, magic, false promise, straw man criticism of tripartism, and the natural hierarchy of meritocracy, and worship(thanks) to our ancestors and future generations, and the beauty of the natural world, and our rescue of mankind from the hostility of that universe, and our ascent into gods ourselves as we take dominion over the universe.

    Ergo, yes, if you choose, walk in jesus’ footsteps as i walk in aristotle’s, others walk in aurelius’, others walk in alexander’s, or but not those others that walk in abraham’s, or buddha’s or mohammed’s. And separate Jesus’ simple lesson from the industrialized system of semitic lies that was built around it.

    God is the name of man-yet-to-be. And jesus (the rebel) but one more of the philosophers of the ancient world like his peers zeno(the achiever), epicurus(the appreciative) and buddha(the denier), mohammed (the destroyer) trying to organize a resistance movement against the alienating pressures of markets, reason, truth, and law, and prosperity brought about by european man. Each of whom was speaking in the ancestral stories and strategy of his people, seeking to find love, and membership, and place in a world where the family, clan, and tribe, was no longer able to to provide insurance, material support, emotional, psychological feedback, and ‘safety in the pack’ amid the era’s globalization and endemic malthusian poverty.

    But the abrahamic technique of deceit produces ignorance, poverty, and dark ages, all of which prevented rather than advanced into godhood.

    Conversely, it is the natural law of western man that is most identical to the laws of the universe, and all of the prophets have been wrong.

    There is no substitute for truth, action(duty), sovereignty, reciprocity, law, markets, and the exhaustive investment in possibility those who live within them – and exhaustive persecution of those that do not.

    That I know of, you have no right to worship against the interests of your people. So if you can accommodate the combination of jesus as a philosopher to learn the optimum means of cooperation from, and our ancestors to worship in our ascent into godhood, and your people in our ascend into godhood then this is compatible with the continuous ascent of our people from beast to gods by our law – the natural law. Then that is one thing. But if you insist on the lies of the abrahamists and the method of lying of the abrahamists to do it, then it is incompatible with our law, and a hindrance to our people.

    I worship our god. I talk to our god every day. I do not know his name. I know he is the god of our people. I do not know his form. I do not know his power. I know only his counsel.

    I love the ritual of church and our festivals. Although I am keenly aware that they are the equivalent of costumed soviet stage plays – mere marxist covers over our traditional love of ancestors, the seasons, the harvests, and nature’s bounty.

    I practice christian forgiveness and charity although I am aware that it is stoicism that was absorbed by the authors of christianity into the christian religion.

    I recognize jesus as a philosopher who, through the efforts of his disciples rather than he himself, transformed by design, the egyptian, babylonian, and persian and jewish customary law – in the form of wisdom literature – into a survival and resistance against the Greco Roman world, and replaced the great heroes of Homer, and the trials of achilles with the story of the jews and the trials of jesus.

    And any man who has read both will rapidly discover that we ended up with the worst of the two, when it is merely a comparison of the strong western man (Achilles) against the weak semitic man (Jesus), with Rome playing the unconscious, unknowing, bureaucratic fool.

    Christianity was invented to destroy. That we find use in the christ figure is merely dressing up Jesus in the garb of our own gods Sol Invictus of the late roman empire, jupiter and zeus and Dzayus Pitar of our Prehistoric Founding gods.

    So where you see Jesus and God, I see but the long line of our people rotating the same one through the Aryan, Germanic, Greco, Roman, and Eastern Roman(Greeco-Anatolian-Syrian-Jewish) phases.

    Our european ancestors replaced combined their gods with those of the native-european stone age gods, as the old and the new. Then they reorganized those gods with their prophet Odin at the top. The people of old europe (the balkans, Greeks, Anatolians did not either have odin, or replace their gods. The Etruscans were at least exposed to the old gods, if not new, or odin. The romans conquered the Etru. But Combined their gods with the Greek. The semitic revolt made possible by the overextended, weakened, empire, was turned against Rome by the Eastern (Greek Empire), who got her revenge through christianity – it was the bosphorus that was the prize trade route between wooded and wet europe and arid dry west asia.

    We have but one highest god – the sun god. We just have had leaders dress him in different garb for political purposes. Lies and propaganda told by men to manipulate the ignorant, the weak, the foolish, and the stupid.

    Our ancestors invented the combination of horse, bronze, and wheel, contractualism, and heroism. And with that realization that they were no longer mere men, invented the sky gods as their aspiration.

    From them we took Sovereignty and Reciprocity (contractualism), Truth and Duty (cost of contract), The One Law of Property (Tort), and as a consequence Tripartism (fight, administer, work), Paternalism (property rights). And with that set of inventions we have in three eras done more to drag mankind out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, suffering, and the vicissitudes of nature, and started our journey into the stars.

    And men have resisted all the way.

    So the question is, will you remain a prisoner of the lies of the abrahamists and allow your people to disappear from this earth, or will you join your people in completing our restoration, our defeat of abrahamism both old and new, and our ascent into gods we imagined.

    A PAGAN, A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT

    I am a pagan if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and 4) if I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so. And 5) if I participate with others of my society in repetition of oaths, repetition of myths, repetition of festivals, repetition of holidays, and the perpetuation of all of the above to my offspring. And 6) if I leave open that synchronicity appears to exist now and then, and that it may be possible that there is a scientific explanation for it, other than just humans subject to similar stimuli producing similar intuitions and therefore similar ends.

    As far as I know this is all that is required of me to be a Pagan.

    I am a christian if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. 3) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Christian.

    I am an Aryan if 1) I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; 2) I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken; 3) I swear to speak no insult and demand it; 4) I speak the truth and demand it; 5) I take nothing not paid for and demand it; 6) I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it; 7) I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise; 8) to not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and 9) to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be an Aryan.

    I am a warrior in that 1) we will prepare for war so perfectly that none dare enter it against us. 2) Once we go to war, we do so with *joy*, with eagerness, and with passion, and without mercy, without constraint, and without remorse; And 3) before ending war, we shall defeat an enemy completely such that no other dares a condition of our enemy, and the memory of the slaughter lives a hundred generations.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Warrior.

    As far as I know, if I succeed as a Pagan, as a Christian, as an Aryan, as a Warrior, then I have transcended the animal man, and earned my place among the saints, heroes, demigods, gods, in the memories, histories, and legends of man.

    And that is the objective of transcendent men we call Heroes. We leave the rest for ordinary men. And we leave those unworthy behind.

  • “In a discussion of Japanese religious psychology, Brendan Branley, a Maryknoll

    –“In a discussion of Japanese religious psychology, Brendan Branley, a Maryknoll missionary to Japan, has noted that “essentially, there is a heightened consciousness of their identity as a distinct people, of their membership in a group whose purposes they are willing to serve at the expense of their own.”

    This observation is supported by Robert BelSah’s analysis

    of the relationship between Japanese religion and economic development. Bellah describes the enduring notion of kokutai, which arose during the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868) as “a concept of the state in which religious, political and familistic ideas are indissolubly merged.”39 Jesuit missionaries to China in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were similarly confronted with a high level of organic unity that was expressed through ancestor and emperor worship.

    A strong sense of social unity and collective security also prevailed among the Germanic peoples in the early Middle Ages. Although they may have been less culturally sophisticated than the contemporary Japanese, like them, the Germanic peoples did not have immediate social or spiritual needs which Christianity might fulfill. Also, the homogeneity of early medieval Germanic society, like that of contemporary Japan, did not predispose it to the Christian message. Christianity tends to flourish in heterogeneous societies in which there exist high levels of anomie, or social destabilization. Since the relationship of social structure to ideological structure and religious expression will play a significant role in this inquiry, a brief discussion of fundamental concepts is presented here.

    Similarly, the Anglo-Saxon missionaries did not emphasize the central soteriological and eschatological aspects of Christianity. Instead, seeking to appeal to the Germanic regard for power, they tended to emphasize the omnipotence of the Christian God and the temporal rewards he would bestow upon those who accepted him through baptism and through conformity to the discipline of his Church.52 Other medieval advocates of Christianity, such as the authors of the Heliand53 and The Dream of the Rood,54 apparently sought to appeal to the Germanic ethos and world-view by portraying Christ as a warrior lord.”—

  • “Curt, it is a very popular opinion among many people of all kind of political i

    —“Curt, it is a very popular opinion among many people of all kind of political ideologies, including classical liberals and conservatives, to say Israel and Judaism are part of the West. I have even heard people say they are even inseparable. I very strongly disagree that Judaism/Israel belong to the West and I’m guessing you would agree with me. What do you think about this and what are the strongest arguments to prove this desert people with a totally different cosmovision are NOT part of the West? PS: I can consider them as much part of the West as Japan: just part of the same trade/economic bubble (and a few cultural bonds, but totally different cultural, ethnic and religious origins).”— Tomás Rodriguez Villegas

    Well, I get these questions from all over the world, and I’m not really sure why they are difficult, because they are fairly easy to answer based upon the economic occupations, marriage patterns, nepotistic hiring practices, voting records, political action groups, publication records, media and press records, of different groups. So it’s not a matter of opinion. It’s simply an artifact of the data.

    That said, to put your question in the three major contexts:

    1) Israel was created to (a) export jews out of eurasia given that the ‘problem’ of jewish culture was well understood, (b) provide the west with a new colonial power to oppose the rise of the islamists again without having to occupy territory in the levant, and (c) prevent the spread of communism into muslim lands, and the alliance with Russia and China against the west. So this alliance is largely social, political, military and strategic. If it had not been for the way the germans were tried postwar it is more than likely jews would have been relocated en mass to israel, and that the problem of jewish rule over the levant would have been solved, and jews would have had the population and institutional means of creating a triangular balance of power between Jews, Iranians, and Saudis, with the possibility of Egyptian north africa providing yet another counter-balance.

    2) Europeans, upon the growth of the empires, and then the industrial revolution, increasingly gave the jews more rights and partly converted them to Aristotelianism. In the States there was very little difference between the jews and the upper class protestants of new england until after the first world war. In the south Jews were almost fully integrated, even had christmas trees with six sided stars on top and were being admitted to upper class institutions. It was the eastern european and especially russian jews that had had freedom to excessively parasitize the populations of poland, ukraine, and Russia in particular that came in waves and maintained their behaviors. And it was the combination of postwar guilt by the west (virtue signaling) and the aggressive use of jewish immigrant propaganda in concert with the marxist, communist, socialist, feminist, and counter-western movements that – in very organized fashion still present – prohibited our indoctrination of jews into western traditions and aristotelianism.

    3) Genetically, Ethnically, Culturally, Strategically, Politically, Economically they are, everywhere, and always, (a) separatists,(b) underminers, and (b) a harm to, preying upon, their hosts – primarily through undermining, usury, and allying with the state against the people. And it is in harming their hosts that they are united, just as europeans are more united when expansionary, and less united when not expanding or ‘engaged in some great venture’. The jews now have three foundation myths: the roman, the persecution, and the holocaust. (My work is partly to counter their foundation myths by posing an eternal struggle between their female destructive strategy and our male evolutionary and constructive strategy.) The jewish strategy, like the muslim, is to export males, find weak or marginal females, and to inbreed with them, forming a local kin group in opposition to the host. Then engage in moral, ethical, political conversion (Jewish), religious (muslim), through evangelism(muslim) and propagandism (jews). So in this sense the female branch is actually european, persian, syrian, egyptian, or whatever other group they infiltrate a host. This is why (famously) the jews have been evicted from 109 countries so far. It hasn’t been because they are ‘different’ it’s because they are harmful.

    CLOSING

    So no. It is an easy question to answer: in any matter of conflict do you choose the european, christian, aristotelian duty-hierarchy, or do you choose the semitic, jewish-muslim, abrahamic divisive-equality? The jewish identity remains the issue primarily because it comes with the jewish group evolutionary strategy of undermining the kin group conformity of the west. Jews remain, for thousands of years, levantines, not europeans. You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make it drink so to speak.

    Cheers

    Curt

    The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity: A Sociohistorical Approach to Religious Transformation

    —“While historians of Christianity have generally acknowledged some degree of Germanic influence in the development of early medieval Christianity, Russell goes further, arguing for a fundamental Germanic reinterpretation of Christianity. This first full-scale treatment of the subject follows a truly interdisciplinary approach, applying to the early medieval period a sociohistorical method similar to that which has already proven fruitful in explicating the history of Early Christianity and Late Antiquity. The encounter of the Germanic peoples with Christianity is studied from within the larger context of the encounter of a predominantly “world-accepting” Indo-European folk-religiosity with predominantly “world-rejecting” religious movements. While the first part of the book develops a general model of religious transformation for such encounters, the second part applies this model to the Germano-Christian scenario. Russell shows how a Christian missionary policy of temporary accommodation inadvertently contributed to a reciprocal Germanization of Christianity.”—
