Power

 

Inequality in society rise from a contradiction, where to maintain control the elite, whom rationalized their power, while believe as early human settlements in Middle East with introduction of Agriculture, the early settlements become not just a centers of power, but place where experts are gather, this become the essences of power. To maintain the power the need for the Agriculture society the time for cultivation and harvests to follow the skies priest become the ones to read the heavens to give the time, open the foundation to Mathematics, Hydrology, Astronomy, the used of signals for the heavens the Astrology, the Gods of Babylon and Canaan, the foundation of Astro-Gods, created bases for evolution to Monotheism where nation gods become a single God, history of Sargon become the history of Moses, the Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylon become Genesis book, where Gilgamesh history become Noah, the chronology of Sumerian Kings become Methuselah Generation, the Hammurabi laws become the book eventually the Persian duality become itself reason entree, where the Babylonian tree of life—the Gods Parthenon become the spirituality for monotheism and Baal become the Chariot of temple of Jerusalem.

Constantine created Political Christianity by given the Roman Empire dueling on corruption a political Religion, Mohammad understood and itself reproduced Constantine dream political power, by creating a version.

For Christianity and Islam the challenge was Judaism as the keepers of covenanted, in Islam the Mosque in Athens Parthenon to make a claim as historical conclusion, Hegel try show was historical conclusion, while the Age of Discovery and Industrialization in Europe mass production put end Islam expansion, while used slaves as economics was part of societies from Sumerian, Akkadians, Assyria, Babylon from Egypt, Rome and Athens, must of the salves are prisoners of war or not able to repay debt. The innovation of industrial used of Slaves introduced by Portugal the innovation was Color as rationalization, the British make an institution, the US made enforceable institution, while Russia Czar in the name of the Christian God slaves the their own peasants as serfs.

Mississippi race laws become based for Germany National Socialism, where percent become definition who is a Jew and racial laws applied the cost while Ottoman implemented Genocide as solution to control population case of Armenians Genocide by Ottomans, Germany in 1930´s implement industrial mass murder based racial laws against the Jews.

 US institutions, in the South Economy based on Color Slaves and US as nation white supremacist, the white populism revival in US become into place because the white privilege become just another group losing benefices, become clear when Obama become President, white in the US become aware with his election the white Supremacist which take over the Republican party started from Nixon and Culminated the fourth open white supremacist president Trump.

The conflict by Putin delusion of Russia, Russification of his neighbors due the same symptom of losing Russia privilege can´t accept Russia just another nation, the same plague affected China delusion of Empire.

We all are trying to hold to transient moment, whereas Pharaohs we just become dust in the wind, we can´t hold, we are just transient.

Sometimes changes happen slowly and other times dramatic events, sometimes from unintended actions other times from not knowing, from our moment our ancestral origin, Australopithecus afarensis about 3.7-3 Million years (Lucy 1977-1980) in Eastern Africa, and for Homo georcius one first hominins to leave Africa about 1.7-1.8 Million our history began and us about 200,000 years and other part of our DNA Homo Neanderthalensis around 300,000 years. Where us, as species from Proto-Neolithic records in Anatolia Göbekli around 9000 BC, but what its significance the transition from nomad/pastoral to agriculture, with in Mesopotamia the cultivation of grain, the motivation of need specialist skills and the geographical location where the first cities Uruk, while haven access to water, but as Egypt the Nile defined their civilizations, the first cities defined by his environment, from lack of drainage of their canals used for agriculture created crises of salinization and the dependent on rain, the early cities created elites which being the between Nature/Gods and their agriculture societies. The creation of Religion as Babylonian Genesis Enuma Elish:

When above the heaven had (no) yet name

(And) Below the earth had not (yet) called by a name

(When) Apsu primeval, their begeeter

Mummu (and) Tiamat, she who gave birth to them all,

(Still) mimglrd their water together ´,

And no pasture land had been formed (and) not (even) a reed marsh was to be seen;

When none of (other) gods had been brought into being,

(When) they had not (yet) been called by (their) name(s and their) destinies had not (yet)  been fixed,

(At that time) where gods created with them

Lahmu and Lahamu came into being; they were called by (their) name.

 Assyrian to exert power moving inhabitants from original territories, while as Finkelstein (2002) compile the Israel/ Yehuda origins Canaan the Jezreel Valley, with Egypt machinations the regional powers of the Canaan included the Israel stand against Assyria and Assyria, Nineveh exile the Israel Elites and the Gneisses  book   

Berishet barh Elohim et hashamain vet Haaretz

veHaaretz haita tou vabouh ve hosheh al penei tehon ve ruah Elohim merahefed al penei hamain……….betoch hamain vihii mabdil ben maim lamaim…

The exile of Yehuda created a new mythology from the Babylonian creation, the Babylonian Ziggurat from the dust become the tower, the need of certainty and purposed abeilve need to created, while the elites used as cynical to maintain power in Babylon the interpretation of destiny reading from the skies, where the gods leaving the seven heaves and Sumerian poem Ninurta and the Turtle it is the god Enki, rather than Enlil, who holds the Tablet, as Enki has stolen it and brought it to the Abzu.

 Both this poem and the Akkadian Anzû poem also share concern of the theft of the tablet by the bird Imdugud (Sumerian) or Anzû (Akkadian).

In the Babylonian, Tiamat bestows this tablet on Kingu and gives him command of her army. Marduk, the chosen champion of the gods, then fights and destroys Tiamat and her army. Marduk reclaims the Tablet of Destinies for himself and become supreme God, in Israel the high priest had the tablet in his neck Urim (אוּרִים‎ : lights) and the ( תֻּמִּים‎: destiny), the exile to the Monotheistic of Hellenistic, the reaction of Yehuda the Hammer—while the Jews Temple in Elephantine Island in Egypt tell us the Iron Age believe where  Jews as worshiping Anat-Yahu, they need for certainty created a religion for the house of David.

The need for mythology to justify a political/elite structure to maintain an economic model which benefice this elites, Constantine brought Christianity as to manipulated power of Rome, when Christianity and Islam become fraught pseudo-science of Eugenics and mythology of race, we are in cross roads the desire of certainty and elites to maintain their economic and power using the ethnic identity appealing to religion as white supremacist use Nationalist Christianity as National Socialist created the other—the Jew to justified and Ottoman the Armenia’s where  both committed industrial scale murder/Genocide, we are in the same path as today Russia delusion of 19^th Empire committing Genocide  in Ukraine.

Intersection

 The prelude to WWII take place in the end of Napoleon lost, where three reactionary autocratic despotic monarchies Prussia, Austria and Russia Czar, while United Kingdom out greed accepted the Christian Alliance between monarchies regimes, the lack of any standing set the political frame where Prussia envious of the Imperial success of United Kingdom—while the drive was pure economic greed and for Prussia was political power, either way the consequence, Prussia desire of Empire, while did not have capacity.

The Spanish flu forces some isolation and had an economic impact. Europe had the other can be blame for the state affair the Jews. The reactionary Holy Alliance in 1800´s found the Napoleon secular Empire to break the yoke of Christianity was to give the Jews recognition as Burgers of the state, which when against the rationalization for Christian domination—as Arendt point out Cecil Rhodes scholarship objective the advancement of Anglo Saxon as dominate group and the same in case of Eugenics, Darwin cousin Francis. In the more practical was creation of Cold Spring Laboratory to find proof to this dominance, by them Christianity justification for Slaves or Antisemitism lost credibility, the need of Justification for dominance lost any rationalization.

After the forces who created environment and context of WWII where the industrial Genocide based on pseudo-science of race. In 1980´s white greed and realization the whites become just another small group created Neo-Liberal economy where maximise the profit and deny any one who was not Anglo-Saxon to benefice, white in US and Europe could not accepted anyone getting any benefice a way by creating gate keepers to control access in US by privatise higher education (education in General since the US supported by local taxes wealthy districts can afford preparation to overcome Universities gate keepers, the poor districts which tend to be Black and Latino are out). In United Kingdom the access to the Public Universities based on Private Schools in other parts of Europe the used Gymnasiums, especially Latin as selection.

While the privatization did not stop with higher education the trickle down economy—where a race to the bottom, any place where low price of product cost to maximize profit limiting wages and lock of taxes minimize or destroying safety net from education to access of medicine or health care in the case of United Kingdom describe by James Meek in Private Island 2014.

The greed of the Russian elites began the conflict with Ukraine to have access and riches in 2022 a conflict not different from National Socialism in 1930´s with living space to east of Europe, Mussolini Fascism of New Rome Empire or Franco Catholic Fascism a difference the control of Spanish peasants not to forget in list Portugal Fascism also rooted Catholic Church in east Europe Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovakia and Croatia in Empire claim under protection of the axes committing directly or indirectly Genocide, fast forward Russia Putin and China silence are willing participants of Ukraine Genocide.

The 19^th century in some ways was conclusion of the imperial Mercantilism of the age of exploration, in some ways irony the Christianity as Imperialist Religion to reinforce the Roman Dictator, the first citizen tradition by Cesare, since inception of Christianity as Roman Imperial Religion, their objective to maintain power, as mention by Idel in two books Survey of Kabbalah in Italy (2011) and Abulafia Esotericism Secrets (2020), where Abulafia wanted to convert Pope Nicholas II, while landed in prison for short time, Nicholas death send Abulafia free.

Abulafia story point the realization Christianity was continuation of Rome Imperial ambitions, in case of Rudolph II the Habsburg, the Prague of his time make the city the centre of Alchemy and mysticism, the motivation mention by Principe—The secrets of Alchemy (2013), the transmutation of Gold, where Gold become standard of Economy in Europe, Alchemy was prohibit even to our present time. But for Prague not since School of Translation in 12^th century Spain, where Islam, Christianity and Judaism interacted, the Alchemy brought Christians Sects—Rabbi Löw besides of Jews Esoteric speculation—his personal interaction with Alchemy, which brought the Catholic Church in conflict with Rudolph II.

Kepler work set Newton and science revolution, with the demising of Religion as explanation and Pseudoscience replaced—in part Science open impact for technology for mass production, pushing out the Guilds and Artesian economies out leaving them out, the failure taken conspiracy and hate towards the Jews, in Russia and Germany. While in Russia there was not theoretical foundation, since the Orthodox Church had influence, Germany in other had in two levels one Pseudoscience of Eugenics developed by cousin of Darwin, Galton and Esoteric took place in Germany (Goodrick-Clarcke, The occult Roots of Nazism, 2012 reprint), for the 19^th the Nationalism of Prussia and Germany (Weiss 2003 The Politics of Hate), while in US the spirit of Rhodes (Arendt) continue in Southern plantations and eventually segregation, in a bigger scale 1848 the exclusion act become legal instrument to exclude any one who was not Anglo-Saxon—the economic repercussion (Baptist 2014, The Half Has Never Been Told), where the plantation economy (using slave) will have survive into early 1900´s, but industrial North will hamper any growth, but the destitution of white poor by the white owners of the plantations founded an ideology to maintain power of White Supremacy, Jackson Presidential founded the policy which become Missouri race policy and set Nuremberg Racial Laws, after Genocide of Six Million Jews and total cost of 50 Million, does not included WWI and Europe 2000 Years of conflicts, while 19^th Century, British Imperialism and Coal Conflict between France and Germany and ashes of WWII set foundation of European Union.

In 2016 the third open white supremacist administration, in the wing Russia insecurities Putin fears waiting for 45 to dismantle NATO, so Russian Imperialism could return to 19^th Century, Putin ego legacy, but what not one expected spirit of Ukraine will defend Europe, while Germany have not changes the National Socialism still embedded in the society structure, the internal ambivalence the holocaust was done in Germany name, while Putin Genocide Ukraine in the Name of Russia and US the insurrection Republican Party in the name white supremacist.

On Tyranny

 In the Athenian Constitution Chapter 14-15 deal with Pisistratus seizures of power, his third attend become a tyrant, which mention by Herodotus (1.59-64), in Chapter 17-18 deal with death of one of the sons, Hipparchus by Harmodius and Aristognition, where Herodotus (V.55-61) and Thucydides mention ended the tyranny which had eccentricity since peculiarity of one person services to one person become the entrée. How the Demos evolved from just a kinship of tribes to set of rights and obligations creating a social contract in the city or Polis, not to Pericles and Solon the agreement become a formal.
While Europe—identity was forget by Christianity as political instrument of power by elite in the centre of this power—feed in Antisemitism, since the absolutism yield to the authority as a divined right the challenge Judaism claim divinity—the same for Islam, while the renaissance—rediscover did not affected to Kepler needed a new model explain Mars orbit, up to them the used epicentre Ptolemy for closed 2000 years the heavenly bodies can be predicted and British using carbon to produce a revolution—race needed, the Portuguese in Cave Verde created an industrial plantation based on Slaves, which Athens, Rome and Islam used from spoils of war or undesirable, but in Europe especially Anglo-Saxon created race as an instrument power—reflected in the economic, where the 19th nationalism transform the Antisemitism in to a racial antisemitism.
Athens demos only applied to 100,000 males where females and slaves would not be included (Freedman C, 1999. The Greek Achievement Viking), on the other hand the social contract of Rome Republic was contract between oligarchy and the people, where by representation, where the oligarchy where land owners in the Senate and assembly (Populous), (Christ K, 1984. The Romans University of California Press; Watts E J 2018, Mortal Republic How Rome Fell Into Tyranny), the later even the Roman Dictator was call First Citizen of Rome and the obligation was not to itself but Rome.
Mussolini with Fascist movement wanted to revived the dictator, only with the National Socialism in the German speaking in Europe elevated Nationalism to races and the outsiders where the Jews, the same argument from religious was expressed in Islam as Mufti of Jerusalem become force to created SS units in the Balkans which Genocide Slavic, Romani and Jews, eventually Mussolini said the objective was in the heart—race.
The convulsion in the US, by Nixon to create a permanent power based, while LBJ saw the consequence of race segregation willing to pay the alienation of the white in the US, Regan in the 80´s magnified as economics—where the white used as instrument to outsource the working class initially with NAFTA, then China, but the first economic convulsion of the 80´s ended with discussion to extended social benefices, by then Regan have privatise educational system to the banks where educational grants replace with bank loans guaranty by the federal taxes, the trickle down economy collapse in 2008 open the door of the first African American at the time white´s in the US did given a chance, which the first African American president delivered, but creating a social support over the Medical Privatization during Regan and the Bushes, for whites could not acceptance not one else could benefice, eventually a white supremacist president elected because his arrogance callous disregard of others during a real crises and let Italian door open who brought the  variant of SARS to the US killing more than 1 Million and used race to repress minorities.
Since Putin with delusions of being Czar, using the wealth of Carbon Economy influencing elections in US and Europe, in the case of US supporting the a white supremacist administration 45, himself try to black mail Ukraine to investigated his political opponent and after losing the election leading an insurrection, whereas today the Republican Party who fought the insurrection from South, to become one, at same time the new Russian Czar began genocide war against Ukraine, where middle east Saudi Prince committee murder and the Gulf Nations try to influences the elections by increasing the cost of oil.
The situation we are now as Ukraine shows need to fight back and despite of the Media whatever to show they are both sides, we are in the situation of the 1920´s and 30´s they are not two sides.
