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. We dedicate this blog to all them were burn for dare to ask.

White Populism
The
rise of the right in the form of populism and
mythology of white
Genocide is a
respond to to an economic shift—a transformation as the Industrial
revolution, Automation (whether is Software and physically—robots)
taken forty years or more, while Capitalism, only responds to the
needs of short times (coin the instant gratification), consequences,
the elites and this cases in super elites, while in US is the worst
situation, the elites since Reagan, the shifted any supported from
infrastructure, the privatization of Health Care, and the educational
system privatized, specially the lasted, the demand for any kind work
demanded this privatized credentials, the characteristic US is run
for corporation. The reaction is setting a white supremacist
government, similar during rise of Hitler, conservative Germany in
the 1930´s delude himself
could
control, but open the Pandora box, the populism in the US have very
darket roots, because US was built on race.
Arendt
point out in the Origin of Totalitarianism, the Cecil Rhodes,
scholarship to Oxford, from the profit of the Gold and Diamonds, to
enhance the white race, the situation is very unique, Parkinson in
Common Causem(2016)
where he work how race build consensus in US, and Jones-Rogers They
were her property (2019), she point out the Southern White saw them
itself superior. The Jim Crow law was base on this idea, this was
crude racism based on Religion Justification and
the introduction of
pseudo science, using Social Darwinism, the Eugenics in US influence,
the Nuremberg Laws in Germany, the was not just against, specially
used to genocide the Jews, but a fundamental dark site, take place
early in 1936 in high of the Olympics, where National Socialism
wanted to show case Superiority of Germany, Lifton (1986)The Nazis
Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychological Genocide, Evans (2005)
The Third Reich in Power, going detail, how Germans used the
guidelines of the Eugenic from US, to disposed and justify the
killing of the Mentally handicap, the alcoholic and one who view
undesirably.
From, Watson
to Murray pseudo sciences: we are as a DNA predisposition, in case
Watson is personal, the fact the Model they construct was based on
Rosalind Franklin experimental work, she crystallize and described
DNA. Watson did acknowledged, what they wanted to sell, from their
though this prediction come.
In
the 1990´s every one though Humans had 100000 genes, from there
everything derived Watson others (Murray) used this fact to say why
the poor, minorities can never be better, but irony we found, the
Humans have 19600 genes, which used only 2% and rest is call Junk,
some are left overs from evolution, at the same time Mosquito have
21000 Genes, a tomato 31000 and slide of bread have the 100000 Genes,
so shows how much the Biology is complicated . This factor undermine
any pseudo science argument, since the DNA is not the main factor, is
one factors, so we need proteins and RNA to uncoiled the DNA to
activated blue print, so external, Lead (as Mad Hatter in Alice)
impact brain development or chemicals can be create cancer. The
Epigenetics Genetics—in this case environment affected development.
The
white rage in a very uneducated society, is not about information, or
knowledge, just lack of curiosity from reading books, just see others
besides our own comfort zone.
El
Norte, the
reason
the Anglos secession
from
Mexico, because Mexico stop slave trade, and Southern states wanted
Texas, they wanted to build a society base on
a
slave economic, and the same Florida was fought, because many slaves
escaped, to the Spanish territory, Spain give them freedom not
far from San Augustine,
the capital Spanish territory, the free Slave established a free
city, which Southerners saw as a treat to their slave economy. One
interested was William Walker brought US Mercenaries to establish In
Nicaragua a slave society, the Nicaraguans kill him.
On
the same topic, when US received 51% of Mexico from Mexico, the
Spanish decent (Tejanos and California), the Anglos refused to given
full citizenship, because the skin was brown, as Eva Longoria a
Tejano decent, said the Anglos move the border.
The
shift this economic, the automation and the explosion of technology,
from 3-D printing applied from creation Electronics to construction.
In
the industrial revolution the Artisan economic—from the Medieval,
where small individual base on skill, in some ways the Automation,
revived the Artisan Economic, skill is the value, the need for other
used become, while skill have become privilege, part becaused
population accepted Authority expecting some stability—while in US,
the Mythology is individual, due of the credential for the skill,
become just a myth.
How
to solved the problem, at least the economic prospect, Health Care
should be Universal and independent of work, the credentials should
not be based on credentials but, should base work, as voice, a call,
a hobby, then is independent on what information, but in talent, but
showing, everyone have talent, because circumstances, we need a
universal income, gave time to find the call, a new Artisan Economy
based on passion, and should be reward, and economy based on workers
run—cooperatives.
From
3-D print houses and consumer devices, going full automation to
created an Artisan economy, association groups like Guilds, based on
passion of the Art, so no one left behind, the needs in an ecological
considerations, a public infrastructure, and unleash individual
creativity, by having the work public, anyone can evaluated, question
and modified,
improved, shared the work for the common used, a society where
non-one left behind, where based in our characters, I have dream, Martin Luther King.

Jule Verne
Jule Verne born in Nate February 8, 1828 and his death March 24, 1905, study to become an attorney in the end a writer, influence in his youth by Robinson Crusoe, Verne friendship with Dumas influence him to be a writer. Verne`s become one of the founders of Science Fiction, but come from Catholic Pious father and French identity was part of his Catholic background, when Zola come in J`accuse in the Defense of Captain Dreyfus, Amien had a protestant community involved in commerce, after Catherine d`Menicie instigate St Bartholomew`s massacre like rest of France, Huguenot`s survivors convert or exile, Amien having story, Verne took issue against Zola (Zola did not consider Verne as any literary work), but after become clear the Spy for the German high command was a Christian Mayor, Verne in Amien was councilor and Verne had political influence, silence (http://jv.gilead.org.il/evans/JV_Canon.html)
Amien Cathedral
Medieval Gothic Cathedrals (French Meaning to seat) had many meaning from worship, from the sizes originally base on Roman government build Basilica, the Christian worship used Assembly, the Basilica then modify to the service. The Cathedral front size was model to the size of Jerusalem Temple, the building shape, while the based was in Jerusalem Temple, the configuration was shape of the cross, in the interception was the enter sanctuary--where the worship was conducted. Each Cathedral due to the cost try to differences, from reliquary , in case of Amien, the use Labyrinth to be a spiritual Journey, in the same token, Cathedral transmitted ideology, propaganda and information, the used of statues to transmitted information, becoming repositories--Antisemitism used as a tool to legitimize the Christian believe ideology. In recent times, to commemorated Allies falling in Defense of Amien, by US, British and Canadians in WWI.
Railways Transport
The Thalys originated from the LVG North high speed line between Paris and Brussels, today the line extend to Köln, Dusseldorf and second line to Amsterdam. The line are base in two models build i between 1996ß1997, PBA (base on the French TGV Atlantique line) and PBKA for needs Thalys with speed 300 Km. Like the high speed lines in Europe is a great option for continental travel limiting carbon footprint (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/datablog/2009/sep/02/carbon-emissions-per-transport-type), the electrification network, the Thalys has been refurnished to updated for comfort, high speed internet.

Athens, Rome and US Constitution
The US so call Democracy,
can be described as Republic—meaning a representation Government. Adams in”
A
Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America
Against Attack of M. Turgot in His Letter to Dr. Price, Dated the Twenty-Second
Day of March, 1778”, in volume 6 the idea of separation of powers, based on the
Rome, more clear compare by Arnold Momigliano, 1977 Essays in Ancient and Modern
Historiography (Wesleyan University Press) as Watts (2018) Mortal Republic How
Rome into Tyranny, the ideals of the foundation of Rome, later undermined the Republic
Foundations.
When Greek Pyrrhus’s come on
the defense of Greeks Colonies in Sicily from Rome expansion, Rome sends Gaius
Fibricius Luscinus to negotiate with Pyrrhus—who try to bribed, Fibricius
respond was he cannot give or offered Rome honors of services and he will shame
descents for such dishonor. The offered of peace offer by Phyrrhus was to Rome
to declined their Power, while Senators inclined to accept, but because a
Appius Cladius who remain Rome, Glory and Senate decline.
The first Roman king of the seven
mythological Kings, set groups of advisers, 100 the same senate run the king,
this 100 become Patricia’s, while Rome does never had a writing constitution,
did have a set unwritten code, in the practical, they have Senate, decedents of
100 original king advisers, 3 assemblies—one from elected magistrates (Managers),
one representing the 35 Tribes (31 where rural and 4 city) and the last which
was place where laws and rules can be set, the Polybus. The Roman Political
system was compromise between the elite and the rest. The Government structure
was based on Clienteles (Nepotism) with time corruption taken hold, inequality
while everyone receive parcel, the fact to advance needed to be 10 years in
Army, many families sons spend in war, families in Rome could not maintain the
small holding, needed to sell, after return did not have capital, this inequality
forced Agriculture Law, but at time First Punic War, plunder was used to pay
soldiers, and many of the Consuls or Generals enrich themselves, they began to
pay own soldiers, privatizing the Army the sense of duty was to General, not to
Rome.
The Agriculture Law used
public lands to be distributed, the elites refused, they used the public land
is a private enterprise (twice one by Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (Plutarch
said he conceive the land reform: when Tiberius on his way to Numantia passed through
Etruria and found the country almost depopulated and its husbandmen and
shepherds imported barbarian slaves, he first conceived the policy which was to
be the source of countless ills to himself and to his brother) and Julius Cesar.
The reason of the reform, where the Army receive in East (Greek Cities—like Athens),
the Asymmetric war and lack of wealth in Hispania, Plutarc described again: Then
the poor, who had been ejected from their land, no longer showed themselves
eager for military service, and neglected the bringing up of children, so that
soon all Italy was conscious of a dearth of freemen, and was filled with gangs
of foreign slaves, by whose aid the rich cultivated their estates, from which
they had driven away the free citizens. In fact after the First Punic War the population
in the country increases and their children had worse than parents.
The wealth from the plunder squeezed towards the elite, after the Destruction Carthage Publius Cornelius
Scipio Africanus was wealthy Roman, to this point, Roman Coins were made from
Bronze, introduce Silver from conquest Corinth, Hispania (silver mines) and
Carthage, but wealth only when upper classes, creating a sophisticate economy,
excluding populous.
The wealth now was used as
political tool, where not only pay soldiers, but public work and running of the
Empire was run by contracts, where individuals and families will collect taxes,
to public works as bath, the corruption and illegal payments to magistrates,
included consul to obtain this contracts.
With the Army being privatized
did not take leap to hungry power individual to used force and violence, to pay
and to arm the mobs for achieving political power, under patronage having
support of a based.
Rome political participation
become based on wealth, specially rural tribes did not have luxury to travel to
Rome cast their votes, only wealthy land owners, were political participation.
While Rome build in social consensus, the
corruption force Reform of secret ballot by then due introduction of the land
reform the ballot laws were introduced at a time of rising popular sentiment
that saw the rise of populares politicians, who gained power by appealing to
the lower classes. Most notably, these included Tiberius Gracchus in 133 BC and
Gaius Gracchus, the brother decade after Tiberius Death.
Besides of land reform, the
objection from the elite was to included Roman Allies and others to be extended
citizen sending elites and population into xenophobic freezing.
Rome in case the two consuls
could not agree and Rome in mortal danger, there was a mechanism the dictator
for limited power. After Cesar assassination, Octavio the adopted soon gain
dictator did not take long now August to create Imperial Rome he lasted 40
years and his system was sustain to end Constantinople in 14th
Century. The mob from Rome treated burn the senators if Octavio was not been
make Dictator for life.
Athens democracy developed
early than Rome, Freedman in The Greek Achievement (Viking 1999), where he
suggested why Philosophy had roots in Greece, because being Maritime power
interaction with other cultures brought exchange of ideas (Freedman point the
Egyptians were expert observers (like medical treatises), but Greek introduce
methodology—underlining order: logos), (pp 149-161).
The Greeks used of trireme,
with 25 single road 25 oars, eventually introduction of two decks, in case of
Athens the Captain was elected, while Agora become center for democracy, Solon
Reform changes belonging to a tribe or social group, the was divided by regions
where the vote only included free man (not women or slaves), the irony
Herodotus recording the Battle of Salamis, mention one of the trireme in the
services of Persian, a Cretan—Artemisia a women who inherent trireme after the
death of the husband, the crew was Dorian—she run squadron of Xerses (Book
Seven 98).
Solon constitution
introduced a mechanism to be a citizen, and belong to city independent tribes,
to give equality as described in the Athenian Constitution (written by student of Aristotle),
Jurors were paid.
Athens respond to
dictatorship, Peisistratus seized Athens with fourth hundred man—Peisistratus reason,
having right birth, give the right. The
leader of the Shore turn on him and exile, Peisistratus return with Army hold
dictatorship for 19 years, passing to sons the right, but in end all where
exile from Athens.
The contrast to Rome, the failure
of Athens was to be accepted Alliance as equals, but taken treasure from Delphi
seal fate.
Where the direct democracy
of Athens which everyone was send himself to a conflict, Rome Senate have prerogative.
British colonies in
Americas, the settlers had to be on bondage for seven years to pay for passages;
north colonies did not have mass crops, just become small holders, when industrialization
took root, there was room development, since land was not issue, and
agriculture was limited by small sizes of the farms, where in South Tabacco
crops and eventually cotton demanded need bigger number manual works.
Christianity by taken roots
in Rome, and competition between ownership of God and right to him, between
Jews and Christianity the Theodicies Code and early Nicea, besides Christians
not need Circumcise to be a Christian, but must significance, Jews were not
allot to own slaves, as in Rome the elite using Slaves from land to
construction, in this case depress crops values and cost of owning the land.
The Jewish were push to the peripherally and making them irrelevant.
In the US wealth was
accumulated as slaves, how this wealth impact, while initially Ivy Schools were
created to civilized the natives, British empire needed middle managers, the Universities
like Yale, Kings College (Columbia), Harvard and Princeton, their wealth
created and slaves—especially, slaves is not something unique, Islam acceptance
the concept as institution, but the new was race to justified (Wilder, Ebony
and Ivory Race, Slavery and Trouble History of Americas Universities, 2013—Bloomsbury
Press) while was acceptance, race was new introduction, Spain slavery to
Natives was based on idea, they did not even had a soul.
To a piece tension of North
Colonies and South was to create a consensus, for poor in the South narrative,
if someone else have worst, I am better. The consensus was built on two factors,
originally senators where a pointed, election of senators was to make sure,
like reconstruction of the civil war, African Americans were appointed, the
point was for the South not. The Electoral College was for slave holders’
states to maintain the slaves, Parkinson in The Common cause, 2016—The University
of North Caroline Press, during the 1776 war, was to create a consensus to maintain
a peace, the false peace, while Lincoln wanted maintain the status quo, he understood
to brake south, needed to brake economy hold on slaves, but the consensus about
race was never broke.
The economic mercantilism of
the 17th century base on commodities could not be replicated in industrial
19th century, in the 20th century industry without
boundaries and capital without national boundaries, and the industrialization
of the 20th century benefit white working class in the US, with postindustrial where acquirer and
creating become irrelevant, and fact the Republican Party from time Nixon
Southern Strategy using race to obtain power, to Regan privatize US as country,
if you do not wealth there is room, the same occur with Rome, where citizens
answer was Autocracy of Empire for security and stability, one issue for the US
is demographics of a diverse—not white
US.
