Since the beginning of time free thinking can be define as anyone who did not conform to status qua-wherever was social, political or any kind though outside, like Jews refusing to accept Christianity or Islam prescription of the Messiah or political moments from the right or left in19 century. The Blog follows the spirit of Spinoza which challenge not only his own Hebrew roots, but also Christianity with the tolerance of Montaigne.

The Economic Crises 2008-2013
Capitalism
is running out tricks, a system base on privilege, nepotism, cronyism,
and power in the long run get reduced to pure corruption, the malaise, which run into central economy of the socialist, communist, fascistic
state. In many ways the new deal, was to tame capitalism, to give the
illusion, the bottom, working class had a stake in the system, but when
Regan rein power started the Ann Rand fantasy, George W B with Cheney
culminated the fantasy with the economic meltdown of 2008. Cheney said
they created reality, now we are leaving the consequence of the fantasy,
except Paul Ryan wanted to make the dystopia permanent.
The Original Sin
The concept of the original sin was
developed around the second century by Ireneaus the Bishop of Lion in the
struggle against in the Gnosticism (ODCC, ed by Frank Keslie Cross, Livingtone,
2005. Original Sin, The Oxford
Dictionary of the Chritian Church (3 Edition), Oxford Press), his stamen: Adam
action had grave concequence and it’s the source of mortality, sinfulness and enslavement
by the sin. What was the original sin the pleasure of the material world (Akin
D L, 2007. Atheology for the Church, B&H). At other words, we all born with
a blemish soul, just because we born.
Greece and Rome societies were built
on slave, most the slave was on subjugation of others (Finley, 1980. Acient
Slavery and Modern Ideology, edt Brend D Shaw, Markus Wiener Pub). Findley for
a slave society need 3 conditions, the society must be an agrarian society and
private ownership of the land, secondly, the economy need to have a developed
commodity market, third not enough labor. These conditions created environment
for slave trade by the Portuguese, Spaniards and English. The innovation in the
British colonies was the race as perpetual defined economic system (Charles
Johnson and Patrica Smith, 1998. Africans
in America: America´s Journey through Slavery, A Harverst Book Harcourt Brace § Company; Hugh
Thomas, 1997. The Slave Trade, Simon
§ Schuster). Two significant events, the constitution gave the slaves owners
one in half vote against non-slave owners and from 1791-1801 slaves where use
for the construction of the white house and the capitol in Washington – the owners got pay between 40-60 Dollars (History
of Slave Labors in the construction of the United States Capitol, William C
Allen, Architectural Historian Office of the Architect Capitol, Richard Baker Historian
of US Senate and Kenneth Kato Chief, Office of History and Preservation U.S.
House of Representatives, 2005). Despite, the emancipation proclamation 3 years
(1863) after the Civil War began in 1861 and civil right act of 1963, the New
Film by Ken Burns (Sarah Burns and David McMahon) in 2012 film the central park
five, narrated the story of the Central Park Jogger Case (1989), were fourth
juveniles because their race and ethnic group (Spanish (Latin)-Decent), a trial
by Media and the New York Police (not the first or will be the last) coerced
into making false confessions, with no evidence like DNA, in fact the DNA from
the crime scene did not match, in 2002 a confection by Matias Reyes serving a
life sentence for other crimes, but not for the rape and killing of Trisha
Meili, with the DNA evidence match
Reyes, exculpation, to the fourth innocent, the conviction was base the jury
was all white. Burns as a guest NBC Meet the Press December, made the comment,
Jefferson as one of Authors of the US constitution owned 150 other humans, and
race in US as the original sin.
Friedläder in the 1980 engaged in
debate with German historian Martin Broszat over the historicization of Nazi
Germany (Broszat, hypothesis said the driving force of Nazi Germany was due
competing internal at the time German institutions and not Hitler, implied the responsibility
for the Holocaust was not Hitler). Friedländer respond to Broszat are in his
two books Nazi Germany and the Jews: The years persecution, 1933-1939, 1997,
Harper Collins and Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and Jews, 1939-1945,
2007, Harper Collins, where consider the Holocaust was a special period and not
a long term evolution of the welfare state set in motion by Bismarck in the 19
century.
In 325 the First Council of Nicea call
by the Roman Emperor Constantine, impacted the Jews and history of Europe in
two fold, with separation from the Jews Calendar linked to the Jewish Passover
and created a Christian independent calendar, but this independence when further,
to be a Christian without the circumcision and
prohibition of Jews to won slaves (Kelly J N D, 1978. The Nicene Crisis
in Early Christian Doctrines, Continuum), (the latest one impact economic
relation between the Jews and Christians, Rome was build and economy of Slaves
and through period of time, Jews were deny any right of land ownership to
anything to survive, such marginalize group).
The Christian Social structure was
based on the Ideal given by Plato in the republic and Augustine the Ideal City,
where the Authority emanates and legitimize to the Church by a God and higher
Feudal society.
The events created the Sin of
Europe: Antisemitism. The first instances of physical violence against the Jews
are mention by Philo of Alexandria, who witness events, the roots while were
economics, but the legitimization because the Jews did not represented God
physically, the non-Jews consider none physical God as Atheistic-denial of God
(Gambetti S, 2007. Alexandria Progrom in Levy, Richard S, Antisemitism: A Historical
Encyclopedia of Prejudice and Persecution, Vol 1, ABC-CLIO).
To the reformation, Antisemitism has
been used as power relationship between the autocratic governance and the
ideals of the pyramid of the Plato Republic, an order, where peasants under
nobility, the nobility under king, and legitimize to governance given by Church
and God.
The greater manifestation is found reconquest
of Spain by catholic kings. In December 30, 1066 , Joseph HaNagid, the Jews
vizier of Granda was crucified by an Arab Mob and proceeded to raze the Jewish
Quarter and slaughter its 5,000 inhabitants (Stilmman N, 1979. The Jews of the
Arabs Land, The Jewish Publication Society of America). The first expulsion of
the Jews in Spain occur in 11 century under the Taifas (Szarmach P E, 1979,
Aspects of Jewish culture in the Middle Ages, State University of New York
Press), while in 589 the Third Council of Toledo under Visigoth rule, force baptize
the children of mixed marriages between Jews and Christians, moreover, forbade the
Jews from holding public office, from having intercourse with Christian women,
and performing circumcision on slaves or Christians. In the great pyramid the
Jews were under control and grace of the king, in all over Europe, the Nobility
used the Jews situation is power play, in many case nobility borrow sums from Jews
Lenders, and the nobility used this events to tax or used the population against
the Jews. The first crusade victims were the French and German Jews.
While in Spain the culmination
appear with the expulsion of 1492, and the hate of the new Christians culminated
with the establishment of the inquisition. A reason was fear of the last days
of Kingdom of Granada will ask for help of the Jews. While Catholic Monarch promised
the Moorish Kingdom, they could continue to enjoy the right of practice their
religion and civil rights, but in February 11, 1490 was repudiated.
Netanyahu in his book the Origins of
the Inquisition in fifteen century 1995, introduce the concept used by the Old Christians
against the New Christians was concept of Pure Blood (pp 1017-1018), while some
critics made issue if comment had a race connotation, Netanyahu had access of
the comment made by the Bishop of Toledo 1547, who made the original reference comment
in the Achieves of University Salamanca-the translation given by Netanyahu is correct
(Kaplan J, 1988. Jews and Judaism in the social thought of Spain in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, in Shmuel Almog, ed, Antisemitism Through the Ages,
New York : Pergamon Press, pp153-160).
But the control of Antisemitism
yield by Roman Catholic Church was lost in the reformation. Luther in 1543, 3
years for before his death, Luther wrote 65,000 word pamphlet, On the Jews and
their Lies, after he try to convert Jews to the Christian reformation and his failure
gave him the reason to write the remedial actions, like synagogues and Jews
schools should be burn, religious written taken away, Rabbis forbidden to preach
and execute if they do, the Jews Population to be put to work as
Agriculture Slave Labor (Luther Martin, On the Jews and Their Lies, Trans
Martin H Bertram in Luther’s Works, 1971, Philadelphia Fortress Press).
The instruction of Secular Antisemitism, and Pogroms in late 18 and 19
century had Christian Religious connotation, the Roman Catholic Church,
solidify the Antisemitism, by introducing an irrational hate, in the case of Maddalena a non-Jewish women working for a Jews family
took the new born and baptize, eventually the church forcing the family relinquish
the child, even in the 1800´the New York times make a crusade against the
church for this force baptize, like in the case of Edgardo Mortara (Kerzer DI,
2001. The popes Against the Jews: The Vatican´s role in the rise of modern
Anti-Semitism).
Antisemitism in the 19 century, in many places in Europe, in France with
Dreyfus the Jewish Capitan accuse of spying for the German Higher command
(eventually the real spy Major Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, ousted by Lieutenant
Colonel Picquard, in 1897 try to persuade his superiors of the culpability of
Esterhazy, he was transfer to Tunisia, given the letters incriminating
Esterhazy to Dreyfus Attorney, and Esterhazy lover published the incriminating
letters. Esterhazy had a close door military trial and clear he was acquitted,
which ignited anti-Semitic riots in Paris. Forcing Zola an open letter,
j´accuse, saing the French government had accuse wrong men, and being Anti-Semitic.
With the introduction of race to the
Antisemitism question, in the 19 century, taken deep roots in Germany, not just
in conservative Germany Aristocrats, but the left, in part Marx theory of
Labour theory value, where alienation of work given his own nature, the scope
of the alienation when to national identity and Europe Jews were consider non-person,
when Napoleon recognize the Jews one first acts is to have a least name, given
place in the society.
Because Marx does not recognize,
ethnic identity, the Jews in the socialist view because Jews hold to their
identity to be oppressors, and this excluded from any rights (Götz Aly, 2011,
Warum Die Deutschen? Warum Die Juden, Gleicheit, Neid und Rassehass 1800-1933,
Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag, (Götz Aly was heavily criticizes by Daily Telegraph
during WWII black soldiers were rapists and Gandhi was friend of Hitler = In
this last one, first Gandhi in letter to Hitler July 23, 1939 used the word friend
in a plea not to initiated an arm conflict, by then Germany had annex parts of Czech
Republic, the letters are display a Indian film release in 2011 dealing with
the letters, created a controversies from India actor portrait Hitler and Eva Braun
to context of the film, while the director, producers defended the film show
the differences between ideology of Gandy and Hitler and superiority Gandy
Philosphy). The personal conflict between Marx and Bakunin (Michael Bakunin,
Polemique contre le Juifs, 1872; Wheen Francis, 1999. Karl Marx Fourth Estate,
W.W. Northon & Company Inc) and mutualism Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, accepted
the concept alienation and exclusion of the Jews, by default the socialist
argument regarding the Jews, he wrote this argument on the pamphlet on the Jews
in 1847. Thilo Sarrazin, member of the German Democratic Socialist Party with controversial
comments about immigration in his book Germany is Doing Away with itself, by
limiting immigration to high skills, and saving the Muslims immigration is
reluctant to integrated and relay on social dependents or Günter Grass served
in 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg and tired against Israel.
Between 1933-1942, 70 % of SS were
German, Austria’s; most officers were Attorney and Roman Catholic (Weiss J,
1996. Ideology of death Why the Holocaust Happen in Germany, Elephant Paper
Backs), more explicit Rosenberg Alfred the ideologies of Nazi party made
construct the white is a race, when Germans start killing in Ukraine, Rosenberg
made argument they also belong to the white race (Piper Ernst, 2007. Alfred
Rosenberg: Hitlers Chefideologe, Panteon). The intellectual justification was
given by the rector of Freiburg University, Heidgger, where the Super Man was
only in the white Race had the right for expansion and the justification of expansion
to Russia is room to growth (Farias Victor, 1987. Heidegger And the Nazism,
Temple University Press). Rosenberg request to included Ukraine was not heard,
but Cossacks in many cases defecting from the Red Army, 20,000 fought with Nazi
German against the Russians.
But In Lithuanian, Latvia and
Estonia units attached to SS, fought against Russian, and they like in case of
Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia, so efficient in exterminate Jews, Slaves and
Partisan, in the case of Lithuanian and Estonia’s, the German carry the
extermination in place the German brought Jew from France and Holland for liquidation,
because Lithuanian and Estonia’s were more efficient in the killing then
Germans (Margolis Rachel, 2010. A Partisan from Vilna, Academic Studies Press;
note to mention in the Afterword, the translator mention the Attorney General
call the author, because the own countrymen Lithuanians exterminated themselves
95% of the Jews, as mention in the book closed to Vilnius an open pit are the
aches of 70,000 Lithuanian Jews, but she was summon for war crimes committed by
the partisan Fania Brantsovky mention in the Book, but of course any of the
home units in Lithuania and Estonia are being praise, without holding responsible
in the participation in Genocide ).
In the case of Croatia and Slovakia in
both countries the heads were Roman Catholic Priest committed the Genocide. Against
the Jews, Roma, Slaves (In Hungary by the Fascist group Arrow Cross, even today
Antisemitism and racism against Roma, the Jobbik Party receive 16.7% support).
The unique situation were two priest
carry acts of Genocide, but the controversial does not finished there, Pius
XII, is a controversial, after the diplomatic agreement between the Nazi regime
and Vatican in 1933, being the Vatican, the first one to recognize diplomatic
the new regime. In the 1920´s the Roman Catholic Church In Germany criticizes
the National Socialism as incompatibility between the church and the ideology
expose by the National Socialism, at the time 23 Million Germans were Catholics
small compare to protestants close to 60 Million, but the Catholic Discipline
had for example Catholic group was 1.5 Million, where protestant group was 700,000.
Pacelline, being Cardinal in Munich at the time Soviet Republic of Bavaria, Pacelline
view himself as Anti-Communist and dislike of the Jews because many belong to
leadership (Cornwell John 1999. Hitler´s Pope: The secret history of Pius XII,
Viking). One of critic against Pius XII, Roosvelt send his personal represented
to inform the events Auschwitz, but Pius XII kept silence of any criticism of
the Nazi Leadership (Santos Felix, 2012. Espańoles en la Alemania Nazi:
Testimonios de visitatntes del III Reich entre 1933 y 1945, Edymion S.L.).
Franco send support to Hitler after
support of Italy and Germany of 47,000 from June 24, 1941 to October 1943, part
of the agreement, report by the Pais in fall 2012, the list of the name of 6,000
Spanish Jews, but Europe does not end with confronting the Protestant Germany
and irony the head was Chancellor Adolf Hitler, but Vatican help to escape of
the war criminals through Franco Spain Portugal, to the new home in Peron
Argentina (Gońi Uki, 2002. The Real
Odessa, Granta Books).
In July 1940 to 1941, Tel Aviv, and
Haifa was bomb by Fascist Kingdom of Italy and the bomb of Tel Aviv was
together with the German Air force, in Tel Aviv 137 deaths, while Palestine was
in control of the British mandated, the request come as personal appeal
Mohammad Amin al-Husayni.
Al-Hussenie arrive to Italy, October
10, 1940, he outline a proposal the Axis Power will recognized independence and
sovereignty of Arab States, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Tansjordan, the question
of the holy place and Lebanon, and the Jewish question was solved in Germany
and Italy (Lewis Bernard, 2002. The Jews of Islam, Greenwood Publising Group).
November 28 meet with Adolf Hitler, in Al- Hussenie diary, he ask Hitler to
make proclamation for Arab struggles for independence and liberation, and would
support the eliminating of a national Jewish homeland. Hitler will not any such
comment because will strength the Gaullists against Vichy France, but Germany
objective would solely destroy of the Jewish element residing in the Arab
sphere under the protection British power (Browning C R, 2007. The origins of
the final solution: The evolution of
Nazi Jewish Policy, September 1939-March 1942, University of Nebraska
Press; Fink Rober, 2006. The Great war for Civilization: The conquest of the
Middle East, Harper Perennial).
In December 1942, Al-Hussenie gave
the speech in the open of the Islamische Zentralinstitut, Berlin (From this
center, seven center where created in Germany, but in the same time the center
in Berlin become operational, a center in Munich being operational since 1941),
which he serve as honorary chair, the institute gave the Muslims in Germany
institutional ties to Nazi Germany (Güther, Niklas, Zankel, Sönke, 2006. Abrahams Enkel Jude, Christen, Muslime und die
Schoa, Franl Steiner Verlag).
Al-Hussenie settle in Berlin in 1941
and his actions include block any children to be settle in Palestine, in the
case of 500 children September 1943 from the town of Arbe in Croatia, the negotiation
collapse under his pressure a year later in 25 July 1944 he wrote to the Hungary
foreign minister to block safe pass of 900 Jewish Children and 100 adult (Zertal Idith, 2005. Israel Holocaust and
politics of nationhood, Cambridge University Press).
Al-Husseini important action from 1941 to recruit Muslin Volunteers for the German Army, he visited Bosnia and convince Muslin leaders for a Muslin SS, about 20,000 members (Mousavizadeh Nader, 1996. The Black Book of Bosnia: the consequence of appeasement, London:Pan/Ballantine; Gordon 2004. The SS: Hitler´s instrument of Terror, St Paul: Zenith Press), this actions never forgot and the Balkan conflict, due to Tito unified Yugoslavia but not pursuing the group who supported such crimes. In 1942 Al-Hussain helped to organize Arab students and North Africa émigrés into Arabishe Freihetkorps, their job was to hunt Allied parachutist in the Balkans and fought in Russian front. Al-Husseini was indicted of crimes against humanity by the Yugoslavia, the British requested French for extradiction, since was given by the Swiss to the French (Hershco Tsilla, 2006. Le grand mufti de Jẻrusalem en France: Histoire dúbne e´vasion, Controverser, 224-273), but the French harbor him and helping to leave to Egypt with a fake Syrian passports. He settles in end in Lebanon

He settles in end in Lebanon
The innovation of industrial-mass
genocide was not a German creation, but in a more crude ways was the Ottoman
Empire genocide of 1.5 Million Armenians, which starter April 24, 1915, by
killing 250 Armenian Intellectuals (Gaunt David, 2006. Massacres, Resistance, Protector Muslin-Christians
Relations in Eastern Anatolia during World War I, Piscatway, New Jersey Gorgias
Press; Schaller,, Dominik J, Zimmerer, Jürgen, 2008. Late Ottoman genocides:
the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire and Young Turkish population and the
exterminations policies – introduction, Journal of Genocide Research 10: 7-14).
The Ottoman empire since his
inception had two measure significance confrontation with the west, while the
battle of Lepanto put an end to Imperial ambition (Wheatcroft Andrew, 2003.
Infidels: A History of the Conflict between Christendom and Islam, Penguin
Books), but actual stop was twice when they try to take over Vienna (Wheatcroft
Andrew, 2008. The Enemy and the Gate, Basic Books), the conquest of Constantinople
set the Ottoman Empire in collision with the west (Wheatcroft Andrew, 1993. The
Ottomans Dissolving Images, Penguin Books) ended with the failure WWI and ended
any Islamic Imperial desire.
The original sin of Islam is in two
folds, one is Dhimmi where any is a second class and they are under protection
not just the original protection tax, where the Pasha put the feet over the
Dhimmi or the tradition to insult during the tax payment, but Islam does not
tolerated equals, since they, the believers by God have right, but in the
second fold the first power dominance is not Dhimmi, but they are treat like a
women. The women are the original sin, they are treat is objects and total dominance
the Haram, the not allot is total dominance, half of the populations is not
equal (Karsh Efrain, 2007. Islamic Imperialism: A History, Yale University
Press).
Today new powers are emerging, but
the Original Sin is being magnified, China, the corruption manifested in the oppression
of Tibet and the leaders treating the rest of the population, India treating their women is objects, the power differential is being
seeing in the Cast System, while corruption underline this many Emerging power,
in Brazil due to race and Poverty, the Favelas are the soul and Problem, while
Venezuela the Petro-dollars had fuel a corruption in the 70´s where only the
elite benefit, today with Chaves in his last days, every week 530 bodies are
found just in Caracas, the insecurity.
