Everything in history is a reaction to something else. But let’s be precise. In theory, the crusades were a reaction to the Turkish Seldjukids, not to the Fatimids who had controlled Jerusalem up to that point, and with whom the Byzantines were in good terms. In practice, the crusades led to the fall of the Fatimids, then of the Byzantines.
A most coherent explanation of the historic basis of the madness now afflicting many nations.
My deal is that the perpetrators will bankrupt themselves and that Western "Civilisation" shall fall on its own sword, leaving the rest of the world in peace. They will not go quietly, that is true, so the nations that fight their own existential battles are to be admired.
And, really, Israel now is no more than the Ben-Gurion Canal wrapped in the Smallpox Blanket of the imaginary propaganda of the Second Coming.
I learn so much from you, Laurent, and I'm looking forward to digging into my copy of The Papal Curse. Thank you for that!
I was just researching the expulsion of the Habiru/ Hebrews from Egypt in 1530 BCE by the Theban pharaoh Ahmose I. I've already written about Exodus and Moses as an inversion of this: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/hebrews-in-egypt-slaves-or-masters? They were ruled by the Heka Khasut/ Hyksos.
After the siege and destruction of Avaris, the Hyksos capital, the surviving Hyksos fled to Sharuhen in southern Canaan. Ahmose laid siege to Sharuhen for six years until they were forced to retreat further into Syria. Manetho and Josephus say the expelled Hyksos/ Habiru founded Jerusalem.
The first conquerers of Egypt came from Hieroconpolis, Hiero being the first spelling of Aryan. The first name for Jerusalem was Hierosolyma. Maybe it was in modern Syria and not the Palestine part of Canaan. The Palestinian city targeted may have a different occult reason.
When Archbishop Adalgot talks about the "wealth of its produce" and "best land in which to live," he doesn't mention the women to rape. But this has been a crucial part of the Aryan incentive for war since 3100 BCE and certainly the founding of Rome with the rape of the Sabines. Crusaders are men far from home and the Amalek women are animals.
Last, Columbus was an Hiero-Hebrew. In 12 of the 13 letters he wrote to his son Diego, he included the Hebrew letters Bet-Hei (ב״ה) in the top-left corner, an abbreviation for b'ezrat Hashem ("with God's help") or Baruch Hashem ("Blessed be God"). His native language was Castilian Spanish (Ladino), which was the "Yiddish" of Spanish Hebrews. And he references the Hebrew Bible, computes the age of the world using the Hebrew calendar, and cites prophecies from the Book of Isaiah. So his obsession with revenge against Jerusalem/ Hierosolyma is consistent. And revenge is certainly the motive.
I tend to read Spengler with more sympathy for the Apollonian style than the Faustian, a practice which is not original or unique to myself. This article would seem to lend itself to that. My one caveat is that I would argue that the Reconquista was about reclaiming lost European territory, not Mosaic-inspired adventurism in Jerusalem. But as for the Crusades proper, this article raises good points, and points to the fact that the Faustian style of imperialism was corrupted from its beginning.
You’re right. Perhaps I shouldn’t have included the Reconquista in that article. It’s a different subject. I also started to see the limit of Spengler’s theory of the Faustian spirit of the West. Where does that spirit come from? It is not genetic, is it? I think it has to do with Christianity’s essential drive to save all mankind and reject any boundary to its expansion.
My letter to congress: copy and resend if you like:
We can now dismiss the idea of “We, the People, of the United States”.
No doubt, 14 million Iranians will stand around their power plants and bridges today. Iran does belong to the Iranian People. You taught them that!
And that America belongs to a small minority of wealthy, malignant narcissists and cowards.
Iran has not attacked directly the People of America because this is not what we voted for. If they do, it is because you left them no choice.
Trump’s recent statements are exactly those of a malignant narcissist who once said he’d “show little girls how to act”. Now, the entire world is biting his penis like that 13 year undoubtedly did. No doubt about that anymore.
Iran will win like HAMAS has already won. Their victories may be Pyrrhic, but after decades of mistreatment and dishonesty, the Abraham Accords left them with military resistance as the only alternative to surrender and death.
People in America are coming to the same conclusion about Palantir, Data Centers, ICE Goons, ect. It’s a shame that whenever we invent a wonderful thing, our rulers fight over it until they destroy everything. But, that is the cycle of time.
Marx’s “Dictatorship of the Proletariat” is tame compared to the Zionists 2nd Coming, the latest fad of the rich and just a regurgitation of Calvinism, I suppose.
But, you do see how the Far Left becomes the major beneficiary of the Right? How those in power destroy themselves, given the rope to hang themselves? Why, at that critical moment, the masses finally turn?
Often enough, power does fall like a ripe fruit into the wrong lap, but that isn’t our fault. It’s yours. You were supposed to be the alternative but you were not there.
The 118th Congress has already brought this upon us. The only thing it can do at this point is ameliorate the damage. But we hardly expect an attempt by more than a few genuine Patriots whose names we know.
I think al Abrshamic religio is not natural is only destroying everything intrusion world . Just as fake liberals democracy. Same only difference jacket.
Why no mention of the 400 plus years of the Islamic conquest of Europe that led to the Crusades? Right or wrong, the Crusades were a reaction.

That's my 2p. Thanks for the electrons ...

Hi Tereza, did you get a copy of The Papal Curse? I wonder if Arktos sent all the copies I asked them to.
Yes I did indeed get the copy they sent! And looking forward to digging in. Thanks so much.
