Rationality
Empirical reason is under doubt and question. Doubt should be skeptic and base for empirical question. The skeptic is base an empirical question and continuous modification according empirical experience. Humanity has become aware of her self by the world become connected. The consequence of the awareness is to come to terms with consequences. Faith is many time mention arise out need of thrust to previous experiences, but because the awareness take some time, the previous experiences are small as the world open.
Because, we tend to trust our previous experience we are having are hard time to adapt and change to a new experience, that is our assault to rationality, our fear to the new experiences, which alter our reality. But despite of our fear does not stop our empirical reality, in some ways manyconflict, whether are political. religion, global, but in our individual experience we are trying to resolve the conflict.

Reality
What is reality? Long time ago I was in a discussion about reality in the middle of discussion some one through a glass cup. The issue was since the glass was broken, the event implied reality is base into some physical experience. But, the question if there is an individual reality? We perceiving with our biological experience, but not everyone have the same experience as example color blind can't have directly experience with red or green color, but an inference can be create, since the color blind have direct experience with others colors, but what about the blind since child hood or deft, what is they reality and experience.
The Biological machine equipped us with reference point, even some sensor is not working according to general experience, but when we move from the individual reality to the collective experience, then human behavior, define by common experience and the social behavior immediate experience our family in many ways they give the initial bias, then the emotional values we acquire through family and society, define the social realities, this type reality is subjective.
A solution to the conflict arise from different social realities, the tolerance call by Montaigne, Spinoza and Arendt.
They ask social values will be in private, even some of these socials values consider themselves superior, for tolerance is to ask equality in public arena.
After all, the most basic values religions, with out list all the failures and destruction, they have inflicted. They are two realities the individualgoverning by Nature and second the social value driven.

Time
Human evolution is full of crises, since the time we have a historical memory, the human experience can be reduce a series of conflicts. We need to ask ourselves, if all this was or is necessary, after all the consequence so far is Genocide towards of each other and how we have got towards this point. The art express in Ice Age, about human experience, but with time the creation of God and State, become justification for a few to be owners, through God and State.
Despite of revolutions and changes where the power of the few and religion, we still dealing fundamentally with the same issue. The power of the few and religion.
Sciences have give us an opportunity for humans to be skeptics, but the threat to question, as result today religious leaders question Evolution. The religious appealing to the validity of their reasoning from ideal of Platonism and deduction of from first principles drawing from Aristotle's.
Science value is from Empirical reasoning, meaning expert or amateurs can validate the work of the assumptions. Many critics of Evolution question the observations or descriptive sciences. Despite Darwin was careful and the mechanism of evolution, genetics even with Mendel work critics will still question Evolution, but what have change is Molecular Evolution, DNA, now the Molecular Evolution has connect the Human History to Earth. Many still question of aspect of Evolution are missing link, but now with the Molecular the connections show with out particular specie to be missing link.
The power of Molecular Evolution is drawing from Empirical reasoning, where experiment can be reproduce, and there is not question of believe.
Power of the God and State is base idea there is a set human nature, in the case of God and State is order of the God. What Sciences show is there is not absolute and experiments and new refine experiments give new inside, but the inside are not absolute, justdepend and experiment knowledge of the time, but does not mean the knowledge has not validity just a limitation, and the technology we have produce has been produce with this limitations.
But always the validity is the Empirical reason, the experiment and able to reproduce the experiment.

A Question of Evolution
They are times and they are times. Now, we are in the time, where religion authoritarian believes are taken hold to replace a political social conflict.
The history of Art had a evolution and full circle. Early humanity paint had to do with the immediate experience, like the case of the Altamira Caves in Spain, later on to evolve only as a sacred experience. The art about the Gods appropriate by Christianity (other Believes) took into a new form, where the Socrates Republic with Augustine City of God transform the Power of Roman Emperor into Power of right to govern derive from God.
Not just reformation, but Art change prospect, where the Gods return to human form slowly return to human sizes.
With that perspective other human challenge, in the immediate was political.
Copernicus and Galileo and eventually Kepler challenge in Authoritarian power of the Church into human experience.
The Baroque and the Renaissance, began the humanization. Spinoza try to connect the emotional aspect of believe to rational experience of the every day, with time the Scientific Method come the golden rule, to empirical experience.
Darwin natural selection base on observation, and Darwin theory (Law) validation through empirical description, many Darwin following or Neo-Darwin for many them, the sufficient power of empirical description.
Critics like the Biochemist Michael J. Behe, who testify in favour "Intelligent Design", criticize the Darwin, because the disconnect of missing likings to have continue history.
Behe misunderstanding of evolution is, the mechanism for the selection is the DNA. The blue print had challenge everything, not only we are human sizes, but
humans in the natural word.
DNA is not just we are 3% different Chimps, or 2% Bonobo or our close relative to organs is the pig. But humans have the same blue print.
The good news is we had assumed the DNA history can be trace to one million, but with work done Mary Schweitzer, a paleontologist at North Carolina State University and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, which show the connection of T-Rex with the birds, the significant we are connected the DNA of species who had verify time line in Millions with a today specie.
Where today many religious figures are challenging evolution, but DNA is not just a history, but impact our every day, since direction medicine affected our very day is molecular medicine which bases on DNA.

Faust
In the renaissance a period of an awake and changes, the period produce an amount of unusual man's and many with unusual life, one of them was Montaigne. From his early days his father a soldier by profession and he had humanistic prospect, whether, condescending or not, his early childhood days were spent under a peasant family. Montaigne mother descending of Spanish Jews, but she like rest of her family where bring as Protestant and his father was Catholic. The times were the Conflict of Catholic King Henry III and the protestant Henry Navarre.
Montaigne was unusual, because he was being influence by his humanistic upbringing, where he had a disdain for violence or religious bigotry. He did believe in God, but never speculate about in part he challenge and question the dogma of the absolute, Montaigne inherent a cultural relativism, in essay “The Apology for Raymond Sebond”, question the trust of reason in part, emotions and believes are rationalize and our reason is not superior to animals, since reason is instrument to legitimize, bias come from our emotions and he being training in Jurisprudence he question the use and validity of confession under torture.
The Legend of Faust whether is base Dr Johann Georg Faust from Württemberg (a Doctor in Divinity and later on dedicated his life to Alchemy) or Italian version, even a French version Goethe Faust where first section was a life of lust and Second part where reason and emotions with constriction given a chance Faust to end heaven and regain his soul from Mephistopheles.
In pursuit of his passions and insecurities sold the soul. The dogma is the rationality of the bias, and desires. The dogma will exclude and kill, Germany before WWII, sell their soul to a dream of the right to power base on race. Race was the rationality of the dogma is Faust for lust of destructives relationships, Germany soul was sold for greed and power, in the end the price was to high, the country was destroy.
Religion, ideology is not least of a dogma in the pursuit of power Montaigne point out, the over reach by the desire and limit of power itself, will be the demise.

Spinoza
Some years, ago one of my teachers of Religion, told what is important, what person believe not where the individual come from. For many years I wonder about the question and I realize, the opposite, the place, give the meaning and influence our prospected of what type of ideal we taken upon.
Education is not about mastering or just remembering some set of assumptions or believes or being right a particular time, but education is about judgment causes and consequence, a professional will gives advice not only from previous knowledge, but from the experience.
Experience is how knowledge as created, in our experience we introduce set of bias, in two levels, conscious and subconscious. Our conscious come from experiences and the subconscious from the bias we inherent from our environment, our society, family, friends and our education whish draw upon these sets of experiences.
The historical Spinoza was a unique and precarious situation, where he was not just outsider of his own community, but his environment. Spinoza excommunicated from his community, was just about his theistic ideas, but with Spain reconquest from Islam the Iberia Peninsula was closing and open an Era.
Medieval Europe where Socrates-Republic and Augustine City of God were glorify with the order of feudal structure, where the Philosopher King-was the King and Lords the second levels, where the head draw his legitimize. The innovation of the feudal systems, parallel to secular structure was the power of the Church, and the problem to this despotic ideal were the Jews, since the could not fit into the structure. When the Christians had Toledo in the 13 century part of their claim, force conversion of the Jews, families where divided and because or they just believe kept their faith, a consequences the Bishop suggestion was to genocide the Jews, his suggestion was previous to Luther suggested, but the Bishop had draw from experience the Christianity had dealing with Heretics and outsiders.
Spain transferee his experience in 1441 with the expulsion of the Jews and in 1442 into the Americas, Spain domination disseminate the native population of the Americas. Spain behavior was not unique, just happen to be the first one, but a close look Portugal colonies in Africa haven to deal with the attitude, it was not just hostility of Superior culture since the Greeks legitimize in the wars against the Persian in the end result Athenian Empire collapse.
The delineation between end Medieval Europe and Renaissances, more then anyone Galileo by using an instrument to question the order of things. Spinoza tragedy in letter of January 28 1665 where Spinoza answer to his Critique William de Blyenbergh who consider Spinoza theistic views is close to Atheism by deny the absolute control God. Spinoza question the assumptions of the first principles, where Spinoza challenge the absolute literal authority of the Bible versus the why Spinoza call the “Natural Light of the Intellect.”
The idea of God Logos was seeing in Maimonides, the Arabs Rationalist and of course Aristotle. Spinoza took from the revival of Logic. Spinoza answer dealt with two different reactions of the Jews dealing with tragedy of the Jewish communities in Spain, one approach mantel of Mystic and second rationalist, which Spinoza took upon. For Spinoza a mathematical Proof, like Socrates was truth is God himself.
Spinoza personal experience being outsider is manifested in Political Treatise where his call for tolerance in Democracy in the section question, if women had the right in a Democracy, and question the Authority of the Aristocrats. Spinoza wanted equality in the Power of the sexes, even bringing the power of the Amazons, but his ambiguity was limited by the time, since by them his life was ask and by them Spinoza did not belong to any group. Spinoza becoming Europe nightmare of the perpetual outsider from the tradition of the despotic structure, which Europe has been built upon, Spinoza philosophical questioning, was a respond of Europe perpetual outsider.

A desire for Tolerance
The Jewish question in Europe is about tolerance and relates to the question what means to be an individual. Augustine in the City of God wanted to create a cosmic order, the sentiment was found in Plato Republic sense of order. If, individual do not fit or submitted to collective view, for what ever reason the Jews in Christian Europe or Islam, the code set a code to put outsider, since continues decent collapse to killing the disorder, manifested in Pogroms, persecutions in both religions, but is not unique to any particular religion. In many cases is projected to ideology, politics, social behavior and sciences. The Crusade and eventually the holocaust is collapse to eliminated differences to the internal collective social cohesion.
Montaigne and Spinoza, both are products of the two expulsions of the Jews from Spain, the first one by the Muslins in the 12 Century and the second in 1492 by Christian Spain, being different and outsider had a price, Erasmus seeing the bloody conflict between Protestant and Catholic papist also proclaim the need of tolerance.
The roots of conflict have many aspects like economics the case of the Balkans, where the city being the commerce centers after the conquest by the Turks, most of the cities inhabitants convert to Islam and the peasants continue with the Christian tradition. When the traditional economic model base on land lost his economic value a conflict between the city and town come to clash not only in process of the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, but during WWII, in Croatia leader, lead by a priest Genocide not only Jews but Slavs.
Religion has been use as weapon, since religion force appeal to certainty and authority given of certainty. The power of religion appeal to the emotions and these emotions can turn into uncontrolled forces, but power of Authority combine with emotions Ethical compass is lost.
Experiments done 60’s where regular individuals put with opportunity to harm another (in this case electric shocks), where ever there background, the long the victim was not aware of the attacker the participates, and the most for tell experiment was prisoners and wards, where sadistic and cruel behavior was the norm, if there was not control.
To be Ethical or do the right thing as more the convictions, in WWII many who safe Jews where not juts for self interest, since being found, was shoot on the spot in the better cases to work camps, in most recent time in Ruanda, where the elite where Catholic perpetrate the Genocide, this is not the first time during 1933 to 1942, when SS in Nazi Germany open the doors to others, 60 % SS officers, where Lawyers and Catholics.
Being Ethical (Individual Choice), Moral (Social Expectation) does not mean to do what is right thing. To do the right thing first you need to see the other is not the other, meaning there is not second class of heaven for the other: who does not belong to the particular club or society. The other is defined by the group or a leader who define the rules.
Tolerance is build in the equality, where everyone is not above or below, is not about who owns or define rule, because equality mean acceptance of difference, but not jus difference, but equality, what Spinoza and Montaigne ask and demand is equality of difference, where God, Gods, Race, Gender or Sexual orientation, economics, age is not the issue. The issue of equality is about being able to acceptance the different and work in the difference.

Germany Dream
Sometimes, history repeat himself, what is happening to Islam in Europe, is not just about the Islam in Europe today, but the same can be said about Roman in Hungary or Rumania, where to being outsider in Europe is not accepted.
Of course things are complicated with religion, not since the 10 century and the Turkey exposing the society to secular ideas in the 19 and 20 century have open Islam into the conflicts with himself.
The internal problem with Islamic countries and Islam with the west is the effect a paternalistic society in conflict with demystification of the power. Where the religion and social values are set into human level, given by religion believe of uniqueness come to end, to the fact nature (Biology) is the same of bipedal homodie species (Humans).
The same effect the reformation had in Europe. The conflict of religion in Europe was not just between Christians group, after all early Christians heresy are Sabellianism (Believe in son, holy spirit and God are modes of the same person), Docetism (Believe Christ is not real, just a reflection of spiritual), Monophytism (Jesus is part to the Logos as human), Adoptionism (God adopted Jesus in conception), Nestorianism (Jesus had two natures man and God. The both nature were separated when Jesus was on Earth), Appolliariasim (Jesus was not real man or he was not totally divine), Arianism (Jesus was create by God for the purpose of being Sacrifice for men salvation), Socianism (Believe Jesus was special person), Donatism (the heresy was social life in this case extreme asceticism), Pelagianism (Believe the original sin was not transmitted by Adam and Eve and the need of Baptism was not needed), Gnosticism (Believe the Jesus just a spiritual being, never human, influence by Platonism) , Manicheanism ( The mix of Christianity with neo-Platonism), Bogomils (Believe Jesus was adopted by God, but not part of the Trinity) and Cathars (They believe Gods of Hebrew story was Satan and that was material world. God of Jesus was good God and spiritual only).
In the same time Christianity was not only group with internal conflict for social cohesion, Islam had share of heresy like Shia (the heresy believe the Mohammed’s son law’s family has the only legitimatize to be leader of Religion, since Islam is political, social behavior and religion). The Sunni believe in elected leaders, but from this conflict a group heresy is found with Sufism which emphasizes prayer and transcendent rituals influence by Christians Gnostics. In the seven and eight Century with expose to Aristotle and Plato, Mu’tazilim attempted to integrated Islam with Greek tradition, they define speech is a about context use for argument. The Orthodoxy was against of introduction of religion debate, because will bring doubt and question legitimize believe.
Wahhabism demands a literal interpretation of the Koran. A pacifist strand appears with Ismailism of spring of Shias, in the same group Nizaris (Assassins) were an extreme violent group, and they use this violence to protect the interest of the descendents of Mohammed. Twelve’s believed that Mohammed had 12 legitimate successors until the last two are hidden by God and will return to make claim is leader of Islam. Mahdi (Twelve) believes spread to the Sunni and tends to be apocalyptic, even does not mean the will come from the family line of Mohammed, but he will be the legitimate leader of Islam.
Judaism also had series of heresy Priest believe they had legitimize since they where care takers of Temple. Rabbinical tradition believe in the tradition interpretation of the law on oral tradition, Essen was an asceticism and there was nationalism group who precipitate a conflict with Romans, of course the Samaritan was consider heresy. From the priest class a heresy sprung in Egypt and Syria in Middle times, where the Bible was took literal, on the other hand, from Rabbinical tradition of mystics two messiahs groups happen after expulsion of Jews from Spain in 12 Century by Islam and 14 Century by Christianity, where mystical traditions developed from early traditions around the second temple. In both cases the Shabtai heresy ended when he convert to Islam and subsequently execute for heresy against Islam, the Shabtai heresy was base on the Rabbinical mystical traditions, and for some Zionism is type of heresy after all God is the only one can give what can take away, the land.
What all the religion had in common is a need to build a social cohesion and anything outside of the Social standard is consider a heresy, in most case where treated with harshness.
The fact the religion has predispose elements of the harshness, consequences, when Jews appear in Germany, we know Jews moving from Constantinople north, and through Hungary and Prague. Since Imperial Rome forbidden Jewish in the land for taken a nationalistic stand, later on restrictions were transform by Christian Rome, because the Jews become a challenge to the validity of Christianity or later to Islam. The restriction to own slaves and eventually land limited the Jews to any leaving connected directly to land, only eventually to become between, meaning peddlers, professions whish not depended on the Guilds retractions, like Medical Doctors, lending money the bankers of the time.
In Germany the settle in Worms, Mainz, Spear and Rotenberg, in France when from Troyes to Dijon, but because wine production was consider land ownership, many communities were involved in Wine make, eventually also restricted, in Worms the community was involved in onion selling, but hostility between Christian and Jews in beginning had to do with fact Christianity saw the Jew a heresy when Crusade was call the first heretics who were not Christians on the mist was not Islam, but the Jewish. The community was expulse and genocide in the Rhine, forcing them to move east, the Pale and Poland.
The Anti-Semitism was eventually secularized and National Socialism in Germany born out secularized Anti-Semitism. The support in early elections in 1930’s come from small shop keepers and artisan feeling treated by introduction of industrial techniques to department stores and of course the Jews saw to be the ones, since they did not belong to the social cohesion. They saw the interest of Germany was their interest and the outsider who had leave amount them for almost a thousand years, are the one’s who destabilize the order, by WWII Jews in Germany where about 5% and today are 0.5%.
Islam had a more homogenous and conflict with secularization is happen now, because secularization and Humanism has stimulated Science and technology. Where the Challenge goes to religion, Men as being reduced and the Authority of Religion is Challenge by demystification of Men. Since Islam had not come to grips justification of his political power a conflict has developed, and in Europe the outsider of the Secular and Humanist tradition as Islam or Gypsies, since they alter the social cohesion has created a conflict where room for tolerance is minimal, since both the group cohesion is more important then individual choice.
Sometimes, history repeat himself, what is happening to Islam in Europe, is not just about the Islam in Europe today, but the same can be said about Roman in Hungary or Rumania, where to being outsider in Europe is not accepted.
Of course things are complicated with religion, not since the 10 century and the Turkey exposing the society to secular ideas in the 19 and 20 century have open Islam into the conflicts with himself.
The internal problem with Islamic countries and Islam with the west is the effect a paternalistic society in conflict with demystification of the power. Where the religion and social values are set into human level, given by religion believe of uniqueness come to end, to the fact nature (Biology) is the same of bipedal homodie species (Humans).
The same effect the reformation had in Europe. The conflict of religion in Europe was not just between Christians group, after all early Christians heresy are Sabellianism (Believe in son, holy spirit and God are modes of the same person), Docetism (Believe Christ is not real, just a reflection of spiritual), Monophytism (Jesus is part to the Logos as human), Adoptionism (God adopted Jesus in conception), Nestorianism (Jesus had two natures man and God. The both nature were separated when Jesus was on Earth), Appolliariasim (Jesus was not real man or he was not totally divine), Arianism (Jesus was create by God for the purpose of being Sacrifice for men salvation), Socianism (Believe Jesus was special person), Donatism (the heresy was social life in this case extreme asceticism), Pelagianism (Believe the original sin was not transmitted by Adam and Eve and the need of Baptism was not needed), Gnosticism (Believe the Jesus just a spiritual being, never human, influence by Platonism) , Manicheanism ( The mix of Christianity with neo-Platonism), Bogomils (Believe Jesus was adopted by God, but not part of the Trinity) and Cathars (They believe Gods of Hebrew story was Satan and that was material world. God of Jesus was good God and spiritual only).
In the same time Christianity was not only group with internal conflict for social cohesion, Islam had share of heresy like Shia (the heresy believe the Mohammed’s son law’s family has the only legitimatize to be leader of Religion, since Islam is political, social behavior and religion). The Sunni believe in elected leaders, but from this conflict a group heresy is found with Sufism which emphasizes prayer and transcendent rituals influence by Christians Gnostics. In the seven and eight Century with expose to Aristotle and Plato, Mu’tazilim attempted to integrated Islam with Greek tradition, they define speech is a about context use for argument. The Orthodoxy was against of introduction of religion debate, because will bring doubt and question legitimize believe.
Wahhabism demands a literal interpretation of the Koran. A pacifist strand appears with Ismailism of spring of Shias, in the same group Nizaris (Assassins) were an extreme violent group, and they use this violence to protect the interest of the descendents of Mohammed. Twelve’s believed that Mohammed had 12 legitimate successors until the last two are hidden by God and will return to make claim is leader of Islam. Mahdi (Twelve) believes spread to the Sunni and tends to be apocalyptic, even does not mean the will come from the family line of Mohammed, but he will be the legitimate leader of Islam.
Judaism also had series of heresy Priest believe they had legitimize since they where care takers of Temple. Rabbinical tradition believe in the tradition interpretation of the law on oral tradition, Essen was an asceticism and there was nationalism group who precipitate a conflict with Romans, of course the Samaritan was consider heresy. From the priest class a heresy sprung in Egypt and Syria in Middle times, where the Bible was took literal, on the other hand, from Rabbinical tradition of mystics two messiahs groups happen after expulsion of Jews from Spain in 12 Century by Islam and 14 Century by Christianity, where mystical traditions developed from early traditions around the second temple. In both cases the Shabtai heresy ended when he convert to Islam and subsequently execute for heresy against Islam, the Shabtai heresy was base on the Rabbinical mystical traditions, and for some Zionism is type of heresy after all God is the only one can give what can take away, the land.
What all the religion had in common is a need to build a social cohesion and anything outside of the Social standard is consider a heresy, in most case where treated with harshness.
The fact the religion has predispose elements of the harshness, consequences, when Jews appear in Germany, we know Jews moving from Constantinople north, and through Hungary and Prague. Since Imperial Rome forbidden Jewish in the land for taken a nationalistic stand, later on restrictions were transform by Christian Rome, because the Jews become a challenge to the validity of Christianity or later to Islam. The restriction to own slaves and eventually land limited the Jews to any leaving connected directly to land, only eventually to become between, meaning peddlers, professions whish not depended on the Guilds retractions, like Medical Doctors, lending money the bankers of the time.
In Germany the settle in Worms, Mainz, Spear and Rotenberg, in France when from Troyes to Dijon, but because wine production was consider land ownership, many communities were involved in Wine make, eventually also restricted, in Worms the community was involved in onion selling, but hostility between Christian and Jews in beginning had to do with fact Christianity saw the Jew a heresy when Crusade was call the first heretics who were not Christians on the mist was not Islam, but the Jewish. The community was expulse and genocide in the Rhine, forcing them to move east, the Pale and Poland.
The Anti-Semitism was eventually secularized and National Socialism in Germany born out secularized Anti-Semitism. The support in early elections in 1930’s come from small shop keepers and artisan feeling treated by introduction of industrial techniques to department stores and of course the Jews saw to be the ones, since they did not belong to the social cohesion. They saw the interest of Germany was their interest and the outsider who had leave amount them for almost a thousand years, are the one’s who destabilize the order, by WWII Jews in Germany where about 5% and today are 0.5%.
Islam had a more homogenous and conflict with secularization is happen now, because secularization and Humanism has stimulated Science and technology. Where the Challenge goes to religion, Men as being reduced and the Authority of Religion is Challenge by demystification of Men. Since Islam had not come to grips justification of his political power a conflict has developed, and in Europe the outsider of the Secular and Humanist tradition as Islam or Gypsies, since they alter the social cohesion has created a conflict where room for tolerance is minimal, since both the group cohesion is more important then individual choice.

Fourth Sins
Of course we can’t blame the sin of the fathers to the sons but Santayana said if we do not learn from our history we are to commit the same errors again. I strong believe we are all the same and our Eden is in Africa-Ethiopia. Our DNA does not difference between race, religion or even DNA differences from the sexes is just biology for continuation of the human species, but nothing behind that. But because the significance we need to demystify what make us secure. Each society built the own mythology to some ways to create an exceptionalism experience to create identity.
We create a mythology base in our own historical perspective and for a society to advance their perspective. Like any mythology have many complications where facts, reality are mix to advance specific view, in the case of US we have fourth myths which developed the fantasy of US.
I. The Island: The events of 1776 where about power or more specific the leadership power about the creation of a continental nation. Kevin Carson in his book “studies in Mutualist Political Economy”, he describes the loss of land in the time of William conquest of England, where the natives in the British Island happen even the ones had titles began to pay tax and their land which the own to the new lords and common land was lost. The consequence the colonization of the Americas by English was done though a mix of private and crown. Where the French and Spanish colonization was done almost by the crowns. The British introduced land ownership given by the crown. The definition given by the British Crown created an initial conflict with the first nation definition of ownership in most of the cases ownership is temporal and where European tradition property was permanent and can be transfer. The story of the British colonization was base on individual who took this path he had obligation to pay by given seven years to the right of passage and return he will get a title land in most case, since the lord in England already had made claim. The right to land was enough to take a risk in the new colony, of course the first nations lost just not only by decease, but the lost of land was lost to the colony. The consequence of this type of colonization was the every new colonizer had land and he will spend time developing there own land, so he was not a hand for hire. The crops which need intensive manual work like tobacco and rice made need to introduction of slave as free labor. During the seven years war between French and British control of the North America colony, the British to obtain first nation support promise not expansion past Fort Duquesne or Pittsburgh today, in return the first nation will confront the French. Since the French had their own support in the first nations and French colonization intermarriage with natives was never like British where was at minimum, since the British wanted the land and French more towards the exploitation of the land. In the time Tomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin demanded the right of continental nation and from the beginning the colonies wanted European influence out in part to the right to define access to the land. The revolt against the taxes impose by British crown due to the fact the crown was broke and logic of the crown since the French Indians war was to maintain the power of English settlers, they should pay for the war. The British settlers felt, they have pay with blond and moreover the British crown limited the land expansion a full scale revolt. The US colonies twice try to force the expulsion British in upper Canada first in 1776’s war of independence, the colonist got up to Montreal and they try to convince French Quebec to help the expulsion of the British since French Colonies had grievances, but British wanted maintain power, they found away to accommodate, but the French where nor favor of the melted pot concept, at least with British they had chance to maintain the French identity. After expulsion of the French from Quebec and French settlers from Nova Scotia, the British to maintain power they changes many of their policies to be able like give freedom to slaves, since the South colonies the agriculture economy use crops intensive manual work base on slave. In 1776’s war the colonies not just Montreal is a target but also Quebec City and the military expedition had all maps the lost supplies in their way to Quebec. In any case the American Colonies did not get help from the French colony of Quebec because they will not be able to maintain their identity we will talk is a fourth sin they lost of any previous life in some ways reinforce the sense of isolation found in a island. The second try to capture Upper Canada was in 1812 war. The Governor of Indiana territory enter Canada from Fort Detroit, but not just the Canadian British stop, but in the mist of then in Brampton, some of first nations (the Mohicans one of the seven nations of to day New York), they took side with British in 1776 stop the US of America. With the Purchase of Louisiana Territory by Thomas Jefferson and later on, the expulsion of first nation’s from all the territories and later on Alaska from the Russia. Spain and eventually Mexico the continental nation was achieve, only Russia which span to 12 time zones there is continental nation. After civil war of US in 1863, the secretary of war said the will of God was US to have Canada. The Canadians when to motherland and Queen Victoria gave the right of confederation. The consequences the US is a isolate nation to rest of world, two major Oceans and the fact Canada is British colony due share some cultural similarities, but Canada is more close to the British Crown and Canada has developed multi-culture society as respond of being part of British Empire. Canada is inhabited along border and population is dense, like Europe, where US population still is dispersed. The southern border after Texas independence of Mexico, the speaking Spanish had limited influence up to know, where for political and economic reasons there is a big migration. The Island mentality created an isolation where people are accustoming to personal space and collective need is take by individualism needs. They idea of collective need is left to the rough individualist.
II. Slaves: As mention in the previous section the unlimited access to land limited the hands to work the land and price of working hand was too expensive for the average and even the no so average land holder. The investors who brought the colonist in some instance they when back to the promise and a trail of broken promises. The use of slaves is not new in Human history, Rome; Athens was built on the economy of slaves. Religions where are Christians, Judaism and Islam are been tolerant of slaves, including polytheistic religion. The innovation of Slave trade in North America colonies race. Maryland in 1639 introduce a law where a Black Slaves converted to Christianity does not give freedom and later on Virginia and other colonies not slave son will be born to be free. Later on Virginia laws in 1705 guaranty a permanent slave status to all generations, because color of the skin will guaranty. The ambivalence and the contradiction was in Thomas Jefferson, where he had children of her slave in the same time propose to send African Americas to what is today Liberia. But the ambivalence of Jefferson was not alone, despite Christian movements in many instances where the spear head to stop not just slave trade, but to stop the practice on the other hand the slave owners use religion, the course of Noah to his son to justify the slave trade. The revival from 1857-1860 in US, which originated in England, as respond to Darwin and the pragmatism from his evolution theory. In US one effect was abolitionism movement, where the Quaker began movement to stop slave ownership and member who resisted where expel. In many case the slave revolt against the oppression and the brutality of the system. Respond to brutality was the rail road underground, which help families escape north and to Canada, where are free. The southern states use the federal government to implement the run away slaves laws. The prelude to fact in the constitution the slave owners there vote had a value 3/5 for every slave owned. The was a equilibrium between the North and South, but with new territories the question of free and slave owners become a political issue, since the south fear will lost political power if the territory will be free and contentious become when territories were divide. The civil war began dealing with that issue of emancipation 1863, three years after the civil war began, had to do to brake south. The south was depending totally on slave labor. The north benefits of the capital of south, but was in the cycle of capital movement. The Few years ago, place like Brown University the benefactor which University has name, his fortune was made on slave trade. New York City on the eve of Civil war wanted to subside of the Union, since the financial capital was from the Southern plantation. Aetna insurance will lend money using slaves as collateral and if the barrow will default the slaves were sold to market to recoup the funds. The south sold the commodities, tobacco and rice to Europe. The profit when to the north to Philadelphia, New York, Connecticut and Rode Island, to the ship yards to produce ship to transport product to Europe and in early times to get captive slaves. The slave trade had willing partners not just Portuguese, Spanish, French, Deutsch or English, but Muslins and Africans who where in case capture village to be sold. The Capital flow from south when financial institutions which invested in Railways and factories, steel, the economy was intertwine with slave trade. The origins of the civil war never had a conviction of equality after the reconstruction 1877 and south with introduction of Cotton and need cheap labor when back to slaves, but south deny not freedom since 1865 the thirteen Amendment to the constitution prohibit slaves, but Southern states pass laws to legally discriminate Jim Crow Laws, the law define concept separate and equal and in same instance deny access to Blacks to public education, public transportation and the legality was uphold by US supreme court, the legality ended in 1965 with the Civil Rights Act, but economic ramification of the 500 years of slave trade in US, the country has not come to terms.
III. God and Religion: Religion in US had special mythology, since the myth tells pilgrims come to colonies to escape the oppression of English Anglican church. The story is complicate in Massachusetts the Puritans for period of eleven years will not celebrate Christmas since was consider pagan or the famous trial in Salem. Religious intolerances was not just Boston, in New Amsterdam the Dutch Authority had issues when Portuguese Jews where amount them. The strand tradition of protestant in the colonies was base on individualist and materialistic Calvinist. The religious awaking moments in US where are in South on the North appeal deal with an emotional comfort due to the spread and isolation. The second reason is emotional comfort, due to the mobility the sense collective does not exist. To day is the case where mega churches with 5,000 people feel a sense of community. Religion is the only social connection.
IV. The Melting Pot: The idea, if you leave your parents identity and embrace the individualism of US, in return will give you access to dream, the protestant dream, where today Catholics, Jews and Muslins are protestant. The dream is material wealth, house, car and access education to the generations to come, to achieve that dream. Working class after WWII, white US had access to education thought GI Bill or house, note the African Americans veterans of the war were deny. Of course US with a population of 300 Million and expected 100 Million in the next 40 years new elite are being created. The US had elites, but elites in US had no been permanent from land owners, industrialist and now a managerial class, because the expansion and development of country opportunities were created. But all that was possible since development was in local level, since the age of exploration, the world has been interconnected in ways the time walls needed to created isolated communities do not exits any more. Individual nation changes are no more possible consequences from social behavior and consumption has global implication, from environment to social and political.
Of course we can’t blame the sin of the fathers to the sons but Santayana said if we do not learn from our history we are to commit the same errors again. I strong believe we are all the same and our Eden is in Africa-Ethiopia. Our DNA does not difference between race, religion or even DNA differences from the sexes is just biology for continuation of the human species, but nothing behind that. But because the significance we need to demystify what make us secure. Each society built the own mythology to some ways to create an exceptionalism experience to create identity.

Cooperative Evolution
Michael Tomaselo article question why we have more white area then colour in the eye. Tomaselo points out the question should be, since they are 220 species of primates why humans are the only ones where the orientation of the eye can tell what humans are seeing, where for primates you can not follow the orientation of what they are seeing.
Tomaselo reason of this development due to social behaviour. Humans need the eyes to know intention, but but the evolution between the white and colour can be called that evolution cooperation.
Tomaselo inside impacts relationships from sport or poker, where a player try to hide the white part of the eye to hide his intentions.
Peter Kropoptkin in Mutual Aid give another line of thinking where cooperation is not just individual social interaction, but is specie interaction and some case the interaction with environment is necessary, like bees will need interaction with environment since pollen in such small they are need of more them and because the process collecting pollen is a group active. They are also symbiotic relationships which can be categorize as evolution of cooperation.

Dreams
Sometimes we remember dreams. I personally I had few times I can remember my dreams. In my case if something which question my own experience I do remember. I had a recent dreamt where I dream where I had dialogue about the existence of God, my dilemma in the dream Darwin evolution from observation deduce natural selection. Even the detail how the natural selection mechanism occurred was discovered by Mendel. In the 20 Century the DNA work done by Watson, Crick and Rosalind Franklin, set foundation of Molecular biology, which show relation to the world around us, and the man made on the image of God vanished the image we share the same make organic material as the rest of the living things on this planet.
But whatever my dream have some validity or not my question why we are living in such world where religious fundamentalist has such impact as the Social movements of the 19 century and 20 century, whether Richard Dawkins reductions view God and Religion as a social behavior or not. I’m skeptical, to some of his reductions explanation, but his explanation about religion and how fits in the biology.
Dawkins explanation how religion evolved: For survival a younger will have an affinity to trust the experience of his elders since his elders had gone through the experience. For example if a little kid will like to put his finger socket his parents will say no, he may will have disgruntle acceptance, but in the end he will and eventually and he will understand the consequence of such action.
From that a thrust to advice and consent to that authority religion is born and does not depend whether the believed is monotheistic or polytheistic the appeal to the trust. When we reach the time where mortality we dealing with anxiety like death we will look into the certainty from that trust and the trust is base on authority we look upon the authority given by religion. Authority of power is built on the same experience thrust. Since the failure Socialism Utopias, which by them self are secular religion. Many Libertarians on the left where critical of this Utopias because they are base on a paternalistic advice they had in the roots authoritarian elements, eventually they are nightmares, the Soviet union of Stalin 20 Million death or Christian Socialisms (National Socialist Party of Germany which by the end of the war were not just 6 Million Jews, but Europe and the world the death on the Millions).
The original criticisms of inequality made by the Utopians has not change, because ins some way all the political systems are Authoritarians, of course some are more the others from beanie democratic system, to dictatorship of one individual or class, the consequence always will be same some one will be left behind and elite with all the privileges.
So today the new Utopias are base in religion, some are more political from Universal to nationalism in these categories we find: Islam, Judaism, some Christians revivals movements like Christian Protestant Fundamentalism or Catholic feudalism or from orient Burma even is not call is Buddhist dictatorship or India.
Some religions are more political like Islam or Judaism, which is not just about believe but away of life where social behavior need to be control, hence laws, hence political. But like previous Utopias the Authority the issue will be: they always suck the life of the society we just need to look into Iran, Saudi or any other religious Utopias. Eventually a rebellion, but the issue has been which values of Authority, the contraction we are made of the same biological material.
Append: Dawkins argument has some similarities mention in God and State by Bakunin. Where Bakunin question was direct about Authority is historical independent of the biological origins.
Sometimes we remember dreams. I personally I had few times I can remember my dreams. In my case if something which question my own experience I do remember. I had a recent dreamt where I dream where I had dialogue about the existence of God, my dilemma in the dream Darwin evolution from observation deduce natural selection. Even the detail how the natural selection mechanism occurred was discovered by Mendel. In the 20 Century the DNA work done by Watson, Crick and Rosalind Franklin, set foundation of Molecular biology, which show relation to the world around us, and the man made on the image of God vanished the image we share the same make organic material as the rest of the living things on this planet.
But whatever my dream have some validity or not my question why we are living in such world where religious fundamentalist has such impact as the Social movements of the 19 century and 20 century, whether Richard Dawkins reductions view God and Religion as a social behavior or not. I’m skeptical, to some of his reductions explanation, but his explanation about religion and how fits in the biology.
Dawkins explanation how religion evolved: For survival a younger will have an affinity to trust the experience of his elders since his elders had gone through the experience. For example if a little kid will like to put his finger socket his parents will say no, he may will have disgruntle acceptance, but in the end he will and eventually and he will understand the consequence of such action.
From that a thrust to advice and consent to that authority religion is born and does not depend whether the believed is monotheistic or polytheistic the appeal to the trust. When we reach the time where mortality we dealing with anxiety like death we will look into the certainty from that trust and the trust is base on authority we look upon the authority given by religion. Authority of power is built on the same experience thrust. Since the failure Socialism Utopias, which by them self are secular religion. Many Libertarians on the left where critical of this Utopias because they are base on a paternalistic advice they had in the roots authoritarian elements, eventually they are nightmares, the Soviet union of Stalin 20 Million death or Christian Socialisms (National Socialist Party of Germany which by the end of the war were not just 6 Million Jews, but Europe and the world the death on the Millions).
The original criticisms of inequality made by the Utopians has not change, because ins some way all the political systems are Authoritarians, of course some are more the others from beanie democratic system, to dictatorship of one individual or class, the consequence always will be same some one will be left behind and elite with all the privileges.
So today the new Utopias are base in religion, some are more political from Universal to nationalism in these categories we find: Islam, Judaism, some Christians revivals movements like Christian Protestant Fundamentalism or Catholic feudalism or from orient Burma even is not call is Buddhist dictatorship or India.
Some religions are more political like Islam or Judaism, which is not just about believe but away of life where social behavior need to be control, hence laws, hence political. But like previous Utopias the Authority the issue will be: they always suck the life of the society we just need to look into Iran, Saudi or any other religious Utopias. Eventually a rebellion, but the issue has been which values of Authority, the contraction we are made of the same biological material.

Why we need solidarity
In our working life, we switch jobs at least three times, not less then a period of ten years. What all that means? We can speak about gaining or losing jobs is an academic description or the experiences families being dislocated from every day security. But economy is not just a description of supply or demand-graph numbers, but it is a reflection of values or believes. The economy is a relationship of this value, so the question why to created solidarity we need to know where we come from.
We are in some way product of the biases from our families and the society. To grow is to put in context this bias, economics are the relationship of exchanges of that bias. So what are our biases? The biases are the history, the myths and believe in the societies we are part. America is based in a selective historical amnesia, hence a peculiar amnesia.
In Washington DC Holocaust memorial at the exit after the flags of the units which liberated the concentration camps, on that exit wall, there is a letter from the Jewish community pleading to the War Department to destroy Auschwitz as concentration camp; they ask at least the rail road used to bring the victims to the killing camp. The respond by the War Department was that the Bombers could not cover the distance. In the same time the bomber hit targets six miles away in butane factories. By the end of the WWII only 100,000 Jews where are allowed to enter absorptions camp in Oswego up state New York. During the period the Soviet Union on their way to Berlin found the camps and confirmed the early pleas in 1943 by the American Jews at that time. In more personal level before the war about 900 German Jews requested refuge status to United States in the late 30’s, but the ship was denied to enter the port of New York. The refuges try to enter port in Havana Cuba, but the American state department pressured the Cuban Government to deny port. The refuges had return to Hamburg Germany; of these refuges only 40 survived the camps.
To understand these types of actions, we need to examine the question in two folds. How the USA culture had accepted the extermination and how the values of the immigrants from Europe impacted the decision.
To answer the first question we need to recognize that a huge part of the economic wealth of USA was based on cheap labor: slaves. Owning slaves is not a new issue on western culture. Rome was built with slaves, the Athenian 127 ships were build from slaves working in silver mines. The significance of having social prosperity by slave work can be seen when the council of Nicea around 325 AD prohibited the Jews to own slaves. Prohibiting the Jews to own slaves was due to the fact: the Jewish law says slaves will be converted to Judaism.
The economic impact was that, the non Jew had not cheap labor eventually the Jews were marked out from owning land. The power of owning the land was wealth. The difference in America slave can be traced to the history of Venture Smith who at the age of thirty six bought his freedom and own property. Venture Smith on early time had rebelled against his master and he did the unthinkable, he contacted a Connecticut justice of the peace and accused his holder of abusing him. The justices expressed regret about the abuse, but he told him could not do anything since he was not a man, but just property. After Venture Smith bough his freedom the Virginia Commonwealth passed a law: if you born a slave there was not a possibility to buy freedom and moreover the slave offspring was bound to the slave stigma for the generations to come.
The founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and others had at least ambivalences towards the slave trade. Slave in America was about dark skin created the base of the following years to reinforce the narrative of the South as race based society. During the revolutionary war in 1776’s the British used color card to create uprising in the southern colonies. The race issue took almost one hundred years from the revolutionary war to create a crisis, but the crisis was not about the humanity of the slaves, but had to do more with the structure of the new nation. This ambivalence of humanity of slaves was carried during the reconstruction period, and culminated 1900’s by accepting the idea separation between the races. And race insensitive is rooting on the America culture despite the civil right of 1963.
The race insensitivity is due to the fact to a selective historical amnesia is embedded in culture and how this amnesia affects the relationships economics, we need to consider our second question what are the values of America Society.
To own property in the west gives access to participate in a common destiny. Since property gives a sense of control in some kind of destinies, the owner has privilege. The owner can participate in this destiny. The idea of property was originated in the in following traditions: In Athens the citizen male could own property and this ownership entitle the right to participate in a destiny: We call that participation democracy. But the idea of exclusion was created by us versus them; the Greek versus the Barbarian, despite the existing internal conflict between the Greeks, when Persia invaded Greece, the idea of us versus them create the power to stand against Persia; the idea of separation was intuitional.
Rome political participation was built on aristocracy, females could hold property, but when Augustus limited that ownership, many of the Aristocratic females choose to become courtesans to be able to maintain property. Never the less one of most significant influence is Christianity, not only Christianity define what is female, slave and the outsider.
In 1816 a toddler name Lazzaro was brought to the House of Catechumens, after a prolonged fight between the family of the toddler and the Church. The toddler care taker had converted the toddler in secret and the Roman Catholic Church made a claim to the toddler. The significances are the struggle between Christianity and Judaism.
Christianity and Islam have a basic conflict with Judaism based on the delusion of God: ‘God choose me and gave an inherited and that inherence gives me certain rights.’ The tool of these rights is property.
Napoleon challenges the power of the Roman Catholic Church by giving citizen rights to the Jews, hence property. Three years before Luther dead he wrote attack against the Jews, where he called for Genocide, but he was not the first one. The Bishop of Seville 14 years before the expulsion of the Jews in 1493 from Spain expressed the same sentiment, since the Jewish refuse to accept their version of God.
Islamic response towards the Jews and Christians is to create a new class of second class citizen, where they can follow their tradition, but have not access to power. Islam limited the professions and access to the state bureaucracy if you do not belong to the right religion. Still licenses professions like doctors hand access due to the skill.
Judaism rejected Mohammad and by taking sides with his enemies, Mohammad decapitated 900 of them, but realizing the geographical distribution of Jews, made impossible to kill all of them and Christian were under the protection of the Christian nations. Islam responds was to create a second class citizen for them.
The relationship between the three religions has been at least less then cordial. Islam conquest driving religion and the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople fuel an animosity between the West and Islam. As respond towards Islam conquest Urban IV ask the Christianity the conquest of the holy land. The early behaviors of the crusades in Acre, the Christian Armies took all the males, the Jew, Muslin and Orthodox Christian impales all of them. This behavior set the tone for the next centuries. Sultan Baibars al-Bundukdari in 1268 conquest Jaffa, and returned the same favor to the Christians by massacring the population as an act of justice or revenge.
The industrial revolution changes the definition of property. Property is individual own, not the land, but individual itself. Physical skill or the profession is the new definition of property. The value goes according to need. Still the value is regional meaning if cheaper someone else the job is gone. In that sense we do not control the marker. The decision of the value is defined not by practioner, but by the one who control the capital. The group who control the capital decided the value. The new definition of capital is own by the individual, but the individual does not define the value. Previous times the land belong to the lords and they define the value following the same tradition the 19 century the industrialist were new lords. In the late 20 century the physical skill become less, but the services and the professional skill is the property, the wealth is more fluid. The wealth is now in control of entities defined in a moral value ‘what is the best for me.’ The consequences are a disconnected in the society. The disconnected translated the sense of family and the codependence to religion. The religion experience gives the individual a psychology anchor to himself independent of the community, since the puritan tradition is relationship to God without middle men. To resolve the conflict we can look into our question:
Why we need solidarity? How is solidarity help all of us survive in our historical context, our economics defined from our tradition define ownership our values had a conflict when the new comers define ownership. Because the first nation definition of what is property different from the Western tradition, they define property is by the use not ownership.
Solidarity is not an institution works under the social and economic values of their society. Solidarity does not control the market, but solidarity is define by the individual as a force more them selves.
A company is either public or private tries to maximize the value for the share holders or the private ownership; moreover its considered values are defined in the context of the society.
If our objective is to changes the attitude of what property is, we need to change the values of property. Property is defined by social hierarchy and that alone defines its standing in that society (legality).
A decision made based on a consensus, means that everyone who is participating comes to an agreement or have a stake in the direction for a common goal, a base to create solidarity. To achieve that goal, we need to focus not on single individual interest but on the group, who will share the benefits and the responsibilities—that is solidarity.
The benefit is the goal, and the goal is defined by the value of the consensus, without denying the context where we are, how we behave and in what we believe. Solidarity comes out from the experience of being isolated in our society. A vast majority of technology today is the product of support by the government. The goal of the government is to produce an economic benefit based on social values defined by the government. What are the values dependent on the social definition.
Economics have profound impact, from quality life to social structure. In creating a sense of solidarity we challenge these values by defined the out put. We need to challenge by creating solidarity independent of social values. Question and challenge the values by creating alternatives, when everyone sees there is possibility to changes.
The dream conveys by our society is that anyone can have the pursuit of happiness, which means to hold property. But some issues had not been resolved, the cost of health care, cost of education and the security. Our choice is by taken a path where solidarity as alternative to just a supply or demand graph.
In our working life, we switch jobs at least three times, not less then a period of ten years. What all that means? We can speak about gaining or losing jobs is an academic description or the experiences families being dislocated from every day security. But economy is not just a description of supply or demand-graph numbers, but it is a reflection of values or believes.

Prague and Eastern Europe Goulash
The Prague a few years ago is the Prague who was wakening from long sleep. The city was wakening from the decaying of the Soviet influence. The Dictatorship of technocrats, originated in working class, Prague try to forget the past, but the Velvet Revolution created a myth from the past.
Prague is time a stuck and Prague did not want to remember, how Tomáš Masaryk the last president of the Czechoslovakia republic stand for independences. The fact was the Czech becoming the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia under NAZI. The Slovaks under guides of Monsignor Josef Tiso, a Roman Catholic Priest whish regime deport Jews, Roma to the death camps.
In the same token Czech and Slovaks assassinated the Reichsprotector Heydrich in 1942, the brutality of the NAZI regime was without mercy the village of Licide all the males and children were send to the death camps a total of 340 souls, and the reason because the place was hostile to the NAZI regime.
Today the traveler of the new Prague will start in the narrow streets of the Josephus the old Jewish section of the city, the narrow streets can revive the Prague of Kafka become a manifestation of deep root of a conflict, but we can’t speak of a future without a past.
The city of Rabbi Low (Maharal of Prague) and the Golem, tell story of Jesuits and thirty year war, the burning of rebels, the invasion of Protestant Sweden and pillage of the Baroque Gardens. Prague being the center of the conflict between Lutheran Prussia and Catholic Austro-Hungary Empire was reduced to the status of a Provincial city.
In the mist of the power play, city takes live. Jews become inhabitants in the 10 Century and Grantee Status by the Germans and Later Prussia, but that did not stop the expulsion twice, taking nothing with them. And out this Label and Chaos the Legend Born Joseph the Golem to Protect the Jews from Pogroms and from the start the Jews leave in separate quarters and later codify.
Not just in Prague in every small town in Czech Republic had a castle when the order of the expulsion did not applied just to Prague but to all the towns in Bohemia, but in many towns the expulsion of the Jews will bring hardships the refuse and the many castle protected the town and there was not army to go after every castle. The expulsion was in part, because the Jews took site with the Protestant German and took the German culture as their own.
Since the Catholics under Austria took Prague, the persecution was a fact. Austria using the fact the Czech, Slavs and Jews leave in their own island and castles use divide and conquer. In the mist of the pain the Slav despotism of govern, the absolute rulers to the family and there was a case where a Jewish father kill his son is consequence of violence, they had to leave with every day is Jews.
The violence suffer by every minority and his community culminated by killing their own outsider-his son who when to Jesuits for conversion but his own rebellion can not submitted to another despotic ruler the Roman Catholic Church.
Kafka relationship with his father was not just an exception, but rule. Prague was the rebellion son under a despotic world of Prussia-Austria Hungary, German NAZI and Soviet-Slavic despotism. The Slovaks departed form the Czech, but humanist side of the Czech still in the roots of Prague, they rebellion of 68’s Prague spring still alive and justices for everyone may still have a chance.
Fast forward the Czech trauma dealing of the long sleep to the shock therapy of Argentina applied to Czech Republic, where pensioners are getting 7,000 Crowns a moth and pensioners chasing tourist to offer themselves to be guide tourist to survive. A dark side of these therapy is people displayed by the economic creating un-necessary hardships, since all the safety net does not existing any more, following third world pattern, groups from the small towns and villages moving to the city to find work, in many case even work is found the pay is limited or little.
The Novo Rich in the New Czech Republic and the outside world closed the eyes and destitute and homeless take their sorrow in the Alcohol. Around the central train station, any one can find rows of destitute, homeless and the rest Prague just sleep to economic in justice.
When Czech will be part of the Euro zone; then what? Another sleep or another revolution like there was in Spain 1936 a revolution between the wealthy and the poor. In the Anglo-Saxon model is O.k. to have 41% of the population without any healthcare despite the nation pay a high premium of the western world close to $ 7,000 USD or work in Wal-Mart, where the average salary is $ 7, 50 in hour, and you have the privilege work for free after your regular 8 hour work for them with out compensation just to have the privilege of having a Job.
A new velvet revolution awaits Czech Republic like the last hundred years, because when they had chance to let castle crumble, they start building new ones all over Eastern Europe as the goulash of different groups forming given a unique flavor. But in the Anglo-Saxon model there is one flavor. One day perhaps the Goulash will be ready where the Czech, German, Jew and Slav finally can give their unique flavor by accepted each other.

I want to wish every one a Happy Holiday and happy new years to everyone. I will like point out, 2006 a year of irony, where two dictators supported by US, both committed crimes against their own people.
In Chile one escape his crime against humanity by his death and of course the support given by US will never question.
The second death is orchestrate by puppet Government and trial which brake the international law, of course he did not only 150 Shiia, but thousands of Kurds where gas. The technology given by US including helicopters which were use against them
The bottom line is in both case we will never found what was the total involvement by different US administration, at least the images of Donald Rumsfeld in the 80's shaken hands with the dictator under Regan administration is part of story, what irony and hypocrisy,

What is wrong?
A summer as a college student, I work in a binding factory our days start at 6:00 a.m. and half hour for lunch at 11:00 a.m. Our lunch had very spirit full discussion to politics, but as reflection of US a self segregated society, where African Americans were not invited to our lunch group.
The disparate make me to ask a question if US society we have obligation for reparations to African Americas and implicit to the first nation inhabiting the continent when first European settler come to US shores. The answer always was no, since many my Fellow Workers claim they grant parents when come did not own or beneficed directly from the slave trade or the first nations. My contention was from the first settlers to late arrivals, since first nation where here had an economy, an exchange of goods by first nations show a wealth in the land and from the slave trade wherever was rice, tobacco or cotton later was base to row wealth transfer to ship builders in Philadelphia and Rode Island, to the Financial Capital New York. What ever was port enter to the new land from Ellis Island or other port enter, the new comer will find buildings, farms, plantations, industries build on labor and capital from slave trade, even today Aetna Insurance recognize they lend money to the plantation owners against their slave stock. Which urge the question how we got here, the mythology of Pilgrims escaping religious persecution from England and they impose their own religious tyranny, where Jews were exclude and Christmas was band for twenty years in the new freedom land, beg question how mosaic was create, and to do we need to follow the path of the myth.
Myth of Hebrew?
In the Talmud, the eyes are the windows of the soul and the story Rabbi Johanna Ben Zakkai was smuggle out Jerusalem during siege by Romans under Vespasian shows the soul, but history of two thousand years soul. The zealots control the city and even the death where not allot leave the city contrary of Jewish law, since the death need to be laid down the same day. But since Rabbi Johanna Ben Zakkai name had weight his body was allot to leave the city.
The siege by the Romans, which controlled the exits from Jerusalem, in the case of Rabbi Johanna Ben Zakkai was detainee under normal circumstance will mean torture. When Rabbi Johanna Ben Zakkai meets Vespasian he greeting was hail Caesar. Vespasian holds Johanna Ben Zakkai and in the same evening Vespasian was recall to Rome to become Caesar. Titus his son took over siege of Jerusalem and eventually the destruction. In case Rabbi Johanna Ben Zakkai, Vespasian offered him anything and what Rabbi Johanna Ben Zakkai requested Talmudical Academy in Yavne.
When Theodore Herzl show Zionism is alternative question, the Orthodox Rabbis where against and in even today in their hearth Orthodox are against, even today and from beginning of Zionism religious nationalist and US modern Orthodox Jews today accept the state of Israel . But the reason why the Orthodox Jews gave for the rejection is only God can give what took away.
The base of the argument in the Talmud Baba Kama, explain in the Salomon song of songs where the daughters of the world will not beat Israel so bad, but after the Holocaust all beats are off according n Orthodox who are supporting Zionist moment, on the other hand the Orthodox only God can give and take. Where this conviction come from well the reason Saul lost his crown and Kingdom was not because his war conduct or family scandal, because he refuse to completed genocide. According to the Law (Torah) Remember Amaleq mean the Hebrews needed genocide the nation, because they attack in desert Amaleq when after the weak, the children, women and elderly. Only God is the absolute Truth, black and white only he has the certainty. Here is the core of conflict with Israel and contradiction. Zionism said to the Jews you are Western and not the absolute from East and the Orthodox said our forefathers like Rabbi Joanna Ben Zakkai made a choice, not to plead for Jerusalem, the land, but Talmudical Academy. The reason of his choice the Law is absolute and God given.
In the 60’s a parallel conflict appear between Hannah Arendt and Leo Strauss. Both German Jews both obtained PhD one in Freiburg and the other in Hamburg under influence of Ernst Cassirer, one under Nazi Philosopher Martin Heidegger and the other had conversations with the Nazi Smith who was thinker for the Jurist Prudence for the Nazi ideology. Strauss conversation with Smith deal with the noble lie and the right of an elite-philosopher king to divine right to government. Strauss and Hanna come to different conclusions from the holocaust experience one felt in home with Machiavelli and the other can be categorize with Isaiah Berlin. Hannah enter US late when the genocide of Europe was in progress, the only reason why the Spanish guards in the border let her pass to Spain was because his famous colleague Benjamin hang himself in the border out despair. Strauss immigrate to US in late 30’s before the full fledge holocaust was unfolded.
Leo Strauss, Philosopher, but his Jewish Education an appearances they can read Torah his school famous for Saturday night reading like the Orthodox the section of the week, but ignorant of Talmud. The nature of Talmud required dedication, time and slow process. Strauss school took the pride in ignorance. Strauss believes are base on Socrates the Philosopher King a men in their description wealth making righteous to them the noble lied is necessary for the common good, since Philosopher King has the best Judgment. Some aspects in Strauss outlook can be compare to Calvinist believe the God given the money and power because we are righteous.
Strauss second Source is Maimonides. Maimonides was the first one to take Greek-Aristotle and under influence of Ibn Rushd (1126--1198 A. D.) better known as Averroes and trying to Judaizer their thoughts, in the Arab world, towards the close of the 10th century A.D. in Basrah flourished a Philosophical Society known as Ikhwan-al-Safa (Brethren of Purity). They tried unsuccessfully to reconcile religion with science. Their encyclopedic work consisting of 51 treatises contain the idea of goodness and moral perfection. In the end a strain of purist took in place. In Maimonides case the Rabbinical Authority the Western Jews (Ashkenazy) ex-communicate him because his love with western philosophy.
In any case his attend to reconcile Judaism with the seeds of secular world a world with world with out any God created a vacuum, which German Jews called the Enlighten, where they try to get Secular culture absorbed is Jewish culture since they saw Christianity absorbed the secular world where the secular world was separated from any religion.
Hannah Arendt stop pretending the Zionism idea Jewish eyes to western soul, she was German Jew; her PhD thesis was about Augustine. Like Berlin in his Hedgehog: the fox is categorize as the one who knows many things and the hedgehog know only one thing. Strauss knows one thing his philosopher king and Hanna knows many things, where Strauss reject Heidegger calling relativism and Strauss embrace the German Romanticism, where in the 18 century and 19 century create a reactionary view a back to Feudal society and consequences of this romanticism combine with pseudo-scientific Anti-Semitism taken strength from the long Christian tradition of Anti-Semitism, the consequences was in 20 century WWI, WWII and the holocaust. Hannah like Martin Buber in roads Utopia laid a base to question since creation of civilization religion was part of humanity as instrument to give hope and for the elites was instrument of order, but the 2,000 years exiles combine with the world events put a conflict to Jewish identity where being outsider, mischief and rejected, the Jewish by holding to intellectual tradition challenge the status quo, and after the holocaust where the identity was challenge brought a question what is to be Human?
The Israel conflict is base an to be want to be secular with East-Tribe mentality, but to accept to be secular means the 99.5 % our DNA and work in molecular biology say our relatives are primates, pigs complete against the idea we are chosen just because Every Jewish male or in US most the males are circumcise if I need a transplant, does not matter if is a Black men or Arab or Asian, the rejection is due to my own immune system, and not concussion made you especial.
If Israel is secular then Orthodox can’t control, who is Jew or marriage and hold any matter because values are independent of the tribe of the absolute God, on that case a secular state, but if the eyes are Jewish then Orthodox are right and God is God, here is the conflict in Leo Strauss Empire a cynical empire and Hanna Arendt case for Israel just another nation where people can practice their believe, but the believe is not the nation.
Myth of Christianity?
The ex-Nazi now Pope Benedictus XVI referring to his formed ideology relationship regarding the Holocaust, where pagans what he forget to tell was the first identity to recognize the Nazi regime was the Vatican and the reason was Hitler recognize because in Mein Kampf wrote: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." and that was not a single quote from his master work but one can be found in his work, that did not escape eyes of the Vatican, but hate and intolerance ends Ruanda run a Roman Catholic priest or the fact in WII: Croatia and Slovakia government was Catholics and the last Pogrom in Europe was 1968 in Poland or Polish population participated with the Germans in WWII to killing Jews. Or the fact German fact in his recent visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, he ask why God let this holocaust to happen, but he did ask why German people let this to happen, not acknowledge of the population direct or indirect, passive or active involved, more over did not acknowledge the Roman Catholic church creation of Anti-Semitic, which this religion of intolerance not only applied to the Jews, because the Jews are base of the new belief, its not just a rejection from father to soon, but the right of being outsider and history shows being outsider has a price in the monotheistic religions in the case of Christianity list from Wicca believers, first nations, homosexuals, secular, atheist, pretty much anyone does comfort to Christianity of Authority and depend on that authority can be cruel from one on other.
The Religion of hate was codified in Nicea 325, when two rules we put in place which changes history: No Christian needed to be circumcised and the second not Jew was to own slave. The first law separated Christianity and Judaism and the second had unattended consequence, the original intent was in slave in Judaism have the option to free slaves and slaves will be a Jew. Christianity will not stand a Christian be slave of a Jew or worst the Christian to become a Jew. Rome economy and for the next few hundred years was base on slaves and serf. Not Jew land owner can compete with fact he will need to pay wages after hundred years in Poland Jews were able to own land again, in the mean time profession who had standard licenses or not need membership to a club like University to 19 century you need to be a Christian to enter University, when that restriction was lift, access, but even that was not enough, many gate keepers trying to keep religion pure. In some ways the liberation and beginning Europe a secular society away from the church was Napoleon. Napoleon created in France the famous 120 sages and passed laws for the idea of the French Citizen and the Jewish Citizen, first the law of the nation, religion-church second.
The Creation of the Christian Myth
For the next hundred years to the 10 century when Urban II call the Crusade in the re-capture of Jerusalem in hands of Islam since Byzantium lost, before Crusade when in her way, they first infidel victims where the Jewish communities in the Rhine in the French and German sides. In the long run the Jews were able to escape to the East trough Prague, even there the Jews where expulse twice from the city, due to the fact in Prussia many saw Jews Problem is a creation of the Papist and where more tolerant then Roman Catholic Church. The effect of the historical is reflected in Kafka where the Czech, Slaves, Germans and Jews leave in their own Ghetto-Castle separated from each other, suspicious of each other, in the same small place not just a geographic separation by neighborhoods, languages but distinct culture.
The new settlements of that fringe of land name the Pale (Borders Settlement) consisted of 25 provinces that included Ukraine, Lithuania, Belorussia, Crimea, and part of Poland (which had been partitioned between Russia, Prussia, and Austria in 1772). The invitation of the Jews by Krakow and the acceptances of the population by Sweden, when Catherine the Great of Russia gained the fringe of land after Sweden lost the land claim at when to Russia. Catherine the Great decree not Jews were to leave behind the Pale the opposite the Jews specifically expelled from Moscow and St. Petersburg and forced into the Pale. Later they were also expelled from rural areas within the Pale and forced to live only in shtetls.
With Introduction Ghetto in Italy under sanction of the Vatican in medieval Europe completed the cycle. Sixteen years before the expulsion of the Jewish form Spain the Bishop Seville said the only way to deal with the Jewish was Genocide and when time come the king and queen of Spain in cleaning Spain from infidels, the Jews and Muslims hand to go. The first mass conversion on the reconquest was in Seville in 12 Century creating the seeds for inquisition, since Jewish family maintain contacts. The next person to suggested Genocide was Martin Luther.
Later years Luther disappointed the Jewish refusing to following for a few kid words given by him towards them and some ways the Jewish refute him. After that experience Martin Luther wrote Jewish can not be converted and hence his solution was similar to the Bishop of Seville: Genocide. In both case many apologetic to the Bishop of Seville and Martin Luther they actually did not mean what they wrote, said or suggested or they are only border line Anti-Semitic or idea pure blood in Spain was not really a call for Genocide of the Jews. They reality is open the door to the Holocaust by built in intolerance by Christianity show to the Cathars, the massacre by Catherine de Minice against Huguenots’, the conquest of the New World and use of the religion again to slave Africa, which is no unique to Christianity, but also to Islam.
The creation of the Myth of: US?
US built on wishful thinking, amnesia and ignorance. A good example Prescott Bush fortune was involved in Thyssen Company. The company asset were involved in Hitler Germany, the National Archives (Holocaust Memorial in Washington D.C has actual records now) containing the following documents in October 20 1942 the alien property custodian seized the assets of the UBC, of which Prescott Bush was a director. The Government having gone through the books of the bank, further seizures were made against two affiliates, the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. By November, the Silesian-American Company, another of Prescott Bush's ventures, had also been seized.
Another set documents in the location contained in the files on IG Farben, who was prosecuted for war crimes. A report issued by the Office of Alien Property Custodian in 1942 stated of the companies that "since 1939, these (steel and mining) proper ties have been in possession of and have been operated by the German government and have undoubtedly been of considerable assistance to that country's war effort".
Homer Jones, the chief of the APC investigation and research division sent a memo to the executive committee of APC recommending the US government vest UBC and its assets. Jones named the directors of the bank in the memo, including Prescott Bush's name, and wrote: "Said stock is held by the above named individuals, however, solely as nominees for the Bank voor Handel, Rotterdam, Holland, which is owned by one or more of the Thyssen family, nationals of Germany and Hungary. The 4,000 shares hereinbefore set out are therefore beneficially owned and help for the interests of enemy nationals, and are vestible by the APC," according to the memo from the National Archives reported by the Guardian in 2003.
Jones recommended that the assets be liquidated for the benefit of the government, but instead UBC was maintained intact and eventually returned to the American shareholders after the war. Some claim that Bush sold his share in UBC after the war for $1.5m. The Story does not end there two holocaust survivors are suing the Bush family for $ 40 Billion.
The Myth the country was created in Taxation without representation, was the last straw on slave owner society and economics of slaves. After the French Indian war England promise the first not nations not expansion to the west.
Thomas Jefferson suggested in 1812, "The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us the experience for the attack on Halifax, the next and final expulsion of England from the American continent." The belief that the United States was destined to control the entire North American continent would later gain the name Manifest Destiny, when the new taxes where impose, given a huge incentives for independence.
Benedict Arnold could not take Quebec City in 1777 and later USA under the leadership Governor of Indiana in 1812-1813 try invaded Canada from Fort Detroit. USA saw his right to be an imperial power, to open the west and not doubt the north. After the civil war threat against Canada force Canada into confederation.
The Slave trade is not new, after all the Athenian Empire and Rome was maintained by slaves, what is unique is to use race using religion, the course of the son of Noah and reduced into a value. In Virginia Common Wealth in 1800’s a law was pass the son of slave will be slave even his father was bough his own freedom, perpetuate servitude, was the second innovation created in US.
In the 1863 civil war, the war of the union, Lincoln saw the only way to brake the South back was to emancipate the slaves, since the south was Agriculture society and slaves were the engine. James Town Virginia, which their crop was Tobacco, used the economic exploitation of human slaves. The South Carolina rice crops use slaves, and cotton the most important export in the 1840's was driving by King Cotton. The industrial north economic wealth was driving by the investments of the south, many loans and investments were support by firms of the time, J. P. Morgan, for example accepted 10,000 slaves as collateral for loans, when the loans defaults, the slaves where sold to the market. In the eve of the civil war New York City major with city hall wanted to subside from New York and subside from the Union, because the entire financial district had invested in South.
The lack of conviction by US government of equality of the former slaves let to a situation in the late 1888 in Missouri the creation of Jim Crows laws, separation of the races, the most compels aspect of the story was in 2005, the US Senate apologize the part rotunda of the Congress was built by Southern Gentlemen’s donate Slaves time in the construction and the value of Southern Gentlemen in the constitution is ¾ more the average white proprietary who does not own slaves. Despite of Black America were in Indian Wars, WWI and especially WWII the benefits for most GI return from the war when to white race.
During WWII the tradition of some men are least then others applied when the Jews needed a place to escape Europe, the USA close the doors in dramatic as in 1938 where the Spirit of San Louis carrying 960 refugees, where deny port in New York or actively encourage others by pressure to do the same, case in point was the same ship ask port in Havana Cuba and USA pressure Cuba to do the same. The significance in 1942 the existences and the events happen in the concentration camps were known. Due to the fact the Polish resistance inform the British, moreover the Nazis made a proposal to save the Hungarian Jewish for 1,000 trucks all deny, by the British, because they did not wanted the Jewish from Europe or USA did not destroy the lines to Auschwitz-Birkenau after, the Jewish communities beg. Auschwitz-Birkenau was divided in many sub-camps, and one aspect of the camp was the slave labor for the industry used for the war effort in Germany, the need result the factories where destroy and crematorium stand.
Creation of Myth of Islam?
After the Basrah a Philosophical Society tried unsuccessfully to reconcile religion with science in the 10 Century, Islam relationship towards the Secular World is least hostile. Islam kept some of the East-Autocratic, Paternalistic and despotic attitudes and puritan Islam born in the 18 century.
The use of Puritan Islamic law in Saudi Arabia or puritan Shiia law in Iran, as contradiction with Islam has been period of tolerance toward females and even homosexuality. In the case of homosexuality puritan attitudes bring in the process of colonization by West cry of tolerance by the West.
How were able from the beginning to maintain purity, by deny the Hebrew Law (Torah) to be truth, like Luther later on, Mohammad believe he being the Messiah and by argument will have the Jews to convert. What Mohammad did not understand because Jews maintain the religion hermetic-exclusive their traditions will never accepted outsider. From the Jews side, by not recognized Mohammad as the Messiah, by taken sides with enemies and the enemies losing to him 900 heads were lost. Mohammad wanted to destroy all Jews, but since they were behind his had, well they about 35 Shuras dealing with them, from Jews are hostile to Muslins 5:82, to warning not Muslins be friend to Jews. Christianity does not better about 25 Shuras some from errand in old ways and Belief 5:77 and the most positive close to feel affection for Muslins 5:88.
In some ways the believers of the people rules was in believe, the Islam is a political solution, and the non-believers whether belong to people of the book or not will be under Islamic Rule. What entitle being under rule, is difficult question, because the despotic nature of the regime was in Mercy of the ruler. The first expulsion of the Jews of did not happen in 1441, but in 12 century when a revival of Islamic fundamentalism force the tolerance experiment in Granada to hold. Under their rules, Christian and Jews had many restrictions like color yellow for Jews and Blue for Christians. Donkeys were transportation and mules for Christians, since not believer could be taller then a believer camels were reserve for believers, and horses were instrument of war. Professional restrictions were from Iran only Christian where to take care the death, a believer can’t be impurity with the death and case of Medical Doctors in many case were Jews since they were expose to other threats though, since Islam try to Isolated from any foreign influence, many Vicers over role religions Authorities and created in resentment towards the Jews and yes there was pogroms in Islamic lands. In the personal level restrictions when the Jews using public bath needed to have a yellow string around them, since Muslins and Jews are need to show who is believer, other restriction In Iran Jews were not allot to leave their house in snow and raining days, since the water will touch the skin of the non-believer and if the water which has touch the non-believer will go in to the well or water system will impurity the believer, but the most significant was the ceremony of paying the Poll-Tax, witch the Vicer can hit the non-believer to show who is in control.
What is wrong?
Secular Europe is having a hard time to swallow the US exceptionalism view of himself, in part for US is seeing his world in religious revival- US view towards Israel to fulfill Prophesy of the second come of their Messiah- the Rapture, where half Jews will die and the other half will convert to Christianity, some American Jews seeing this a beanie wishful Messianic group, but so was Hitler, just a beanie dictator become a mass murder, even the signs were in his written and Hitler action in the Spanish revolution his intent was conquest of Europe, they are not beanie religious Zealots, they want a religious utopia. Israel is in the same situation were the Nationalist Religious groups are pushing for Messianic confrontation also expect a catastrophic event, and Islam for his part not different from any these groups.
We can not say all history has nothing to do with the working class our problem is working class in Kansas are the ones who are supporting with their political, body and soul and worst by vote other action are voting against their own interest. The working class in Kansas because Protestant background and the poor low middle class about 60% believe the Rapture will happen in their life time or the next 50 years, the fact they have give out any desire for the fight for the right of health care or education, they feel so powerless the let religion is suppose be instrument of power for elites to define the masses.
In 50’s Eisenhower introduce God to pledge of the legions to separate to the Godless Soviet Union and created the emotional instrument to pacify the masses by creating a sense of hope, Strauss believe the religion should be use to pacified the masses, as opium to relax the masses.
Not enough say Evolution and the Evolutionary molecular biology which is creating molecular medicine and benefit all us, because like the Darwinian survival we also have need community, belonging and our angel of solidarity, we need to appeal to desire our sense solidarity to over come our religion drug relaxes. Religion appeal the ideal of the individual specially the version Protestant of US and is the drug, still solidarity is the only angel of salvation.
A summer as a college student, I work in a binding factory our days start at 6:00 a.m. and half hour for lunch at 11:00 a.m. Our lunch had very spirit full discussion to politics, but as reflection of US a self segregated society, where African Americans were not invited to our lunch group.
The disparate make me to ask a question if US society we have obligation for reparations to African Americas and implicit to the first nation inhabiting the continent when first European settler come to US shores. The answer always was no, since many my Fellow Workers claim they grant parents when come did not own or beneficed directly from the slave trade or the first nations. My contention was from the first settlers to late arrivals, since first nation where here had an economy, an exchange of goods by first nations show a wealth in the land and from the slave trade wherever was rice, tobacco or cotton later was base to row wealth transfer to ship builders in Philadelphia and Rode Island, to the Financial Capital New York. What ever was port enter to the new land from Ellis Island or other port enter, the new comer will find buildings, farms, plantations, industries build on labor and capital from slave trade, even today Aetna Insurance recognize they lend money to the plantation owners against their slave stock. Which urge the question how we got here, the mythology of Pilgrims escaping religious persecution from England and they impose their own religious tyranny, where Jews were exclude and Christmas was band for twenty years in the new freedom land, beg question how mosaic was create, and to do we need to follow the path of the myth.

Or the fact German fact in his recent visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau, he ask why God let this holocaust to happen, but he did ask why German people let this to happen, not acknowledge of the population direct or indirect, passive or active involved, more over did not acknowledge the Roman Catholic church creation of Anti-Semitic, which this religion of intolerance not only applied to the Jews, because the Jews are base of the new belief, its not just a rejection from father to soon, but the right of being outsider and history shows being outsider has a price in the monotheistic religions in the case of Christianity list from Wicca believers, first nations, homosexuals, secular, atheist, pretty much anyone does comfort to Christianity of Authority and depend on that authority can be cruel from one on other.
The Religion of hate was codified in Nicea 325, when two rules we put in place which changes history: No Christian needed to be circumcised and the second not Jew was to own slave. The first law separated Christianity and Judaism and the second had unattended consequence, the original intent was in slave in Judaism have the option to free slaves and slaves will be a Jew. Christianity will not stand a Christian be slave of a Jew or worst the Christian to become a Jew. Rome economy and for the next few hundred years was base on slaves and serf. Not Jew land owner can compete with fact he will need to pay wages after hundred years in Poland Jews were able to own land again, in the mean time profession who had standard licenses or not need membership to a club like University to 19 century you need to be a Christian to enter University, when that restriction was lift, access, but even that was not enough, many gate keepers trying to keep religion pure. In some ways the liberation and beginning Europe a secular society away from the church was Napoleon. Napoleon created in France the famous 120 sages and passed laws for the idea of the French Citizen and the Jewish Citizen, first the law of the nation, religion-church second.
The Creation of the Christian Myth
For the next hundred years to the 10 century when Urban II call the Crusade in the re-capture of Jerusalem in hands of Islam since Byzantium lost, before Crusade when in her way, they first infidel victims where the Jewish communities in the Rhine in the French and German sides. In the long run the Jews were able to escape to the East trough Prague, even there the Jews where expulse twice from the city, due to the fact in Prussia many saw Jews Problem is a creation of the Papist and where more tolerant then Roman Catholic Church. The effect of the historical is reflected in Kafka where the Czech, Slaves, Germans and Jews leave in their own Ghetto-Castle separated from each other, suspicious of each other, in the same small place not just a geographic separation by neighborhoods, languages but distinct culture.
The new settlements of that fringe of land name the Pale (Borders Settlement) consisted of 25 provinces that included Ukraine, Lithuania, Belorussia, Crimea, and part of Poland (which had been partitioned between Russia, Prussia, and Austria in 1772). The invitation of the Jews by Krakow and the acceptances of the population by Sweden, when Catherine the Great of Russia gained the fringe of land after Sweden lost the land claim at when to Russia. Catherine the Great decree not Jews were to leave behind the Pale the opposite the Jews specifically expelled from Moscow and St. Petersburg and forced into the Pale. Later they were also expelled from rural areas within the Pale and forced to live only in shtetls.
With Introduction Ghetto in Italy under sanction of the Vatican in medieval Europe completed the cycle. Sixteen years before the expulsion of the Jewish form Spain the Bishop Seville said the only way to deal with the Jewish was Genocide and when time come the king and queen of Spain in cleaning Spain from infidels, the Jews and Muslims hand to go. The first mass conversion on the reconquest was in Seville in 12 Century creating the seeds for inquisition, since Jewish family maintain contacts. The next person to suggested Genocide was Martin Luther.
Later years Luther disappointed the Jewish refusing to following for a few kid words given by him towards them and some ways the Jewish refute him. After that experience Martin Luther wrote Jewish can not be converted and hence his solution was similar to the Bishop of Seville: Genocide. In both case many apologetic to the Bishop of Seville and Martin Luther they actually did not mean what they wrote, said or suggested or they are only border line Anti-Semitic or idea pure blood in Spain was not really a call for Genocide of the Jews. They reality is open the door to the Holocaust by built in intolerance by Christianity show to the Cathars, the massacre by Catherine de Minice against Huguenots’, the conquest of the New World and use of the religion again to slave Africa, which is no unique to Christianity, but also to Islam.
The creation of the Myth of: US?
US built on wishful thinking, amnesia and ignorance. A good example Prescott Bush fortune was involved in Thyssen Company. The company asset were involved in Hitler Germany, the National Archives (Holocaust Memorial in Washington D.C has actual records now) containing the following documents in October 20 1942 the alien property custodian seized the assets of the UBC, of which Prescott Bush was a director. The Government having gone through the books of the bank, further seizures were made against two affiliates, the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation. By November, the Silesian-American Company, another of Prescott Bush's ventures, had also been seized.
Another set documents in the location contained in the files on IG Farben, who was prosecuted for war crimes. A report issued by the Office of Alien Property Custodian in 1942 stated of the companies that "since 1939, these (steel and mining) proper ties have been in possession of and have been operated by the German government and have undoubtedly been of considerable assistance to that country's war effort".
Homer Jones, the chief of the APC investigation and research division sent a memo to the executive committee of APC recommending the US government vest UBC and its assets. Jones named the directors of the bank in the memo, including Prescott Bush's name, and wrote: "Said stock is held by the above named individuals, however, solely as nominees for the Bank voor Handel, Rotterdam, Holland, which is owned by one or more of the Thyssen family, nationals of Germany and Hungary. The 4,000 shares hereinbefore set out are therefore beneficially owned and help for the interests of enemy nationals, and are vestible by the APC," according to the memo from the National Archives reported by the Guardian in 2003.
Jones recommended that the assets be liquidated for the benefit of the government, but instead UBC was maintained intact and eventually returned to the American shareholders after the war. Some claim that Bush sold his share in UBC after the war for $1.5m. The Story does not end there two holocaust survivors are suing the Bush family for $ 40 Billion.
The Myth the country was created in Taxation without representation, was the last straw on slave owner society and economics of slaves. After the French Indian war England promise the first not nations not expansion to the west.
Thomas Jefferson suggested in 1812, "The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching, and will give us the experience for the attack on Halifax, the next and final expulsion of England from the American continent." The belief that the United States was destined to control the entire North American continent would later gain the name Manifest Destiny, when the new taxes where impose, given a huge incentives for independence.
Benedict Arnold could not take Quebec City in 1777 and later USA under the leadership Governor of Indiana in 1812-1813 try invaded Canada from Fort Detroit. USA saw his right to be an imperial power, to open the west and not doubt the north. After the civil war threat against Canada force Canada into confederation.
The Slave trade is not new, after all the Athenian Empire and Rome was maintained by slaves, what is unique is to use race using religion, the course of the son of Noah and reduced into a value. In Virginia Common Wealth in 1800’s a law was pass the son of slave will be slave even his father was bough his own freedom, perpetuate servitude, was the second innovation created in US.
In the 1863 civil war, the war of the union, Lincoln saw the only way to brake the South back was to emancipate the slaves, since the south was Agriculture society and slaves were the engine. James Town Virginia, which their crop was Tobacco, used the economic exploitation of human slaves. The South Carolina rice crops use slaves, and cotton the most important export in the 1840's was driving by King Cotton. The industrial north economic wealth was driving by the investments of the south, many loans and investments were support by firms of the time, J. P. Morgan, for example accepted 10,000 slaves as collateral for loans, when the loans defaults, the slaves where sold to the market. In the eve of the civil war New York City major with city hall wanted to subside from New York and subside from the Union, because the entire financial district had invested in South.
The lack of conviction by US government of equality of the former slaves let to a situation in the late 1888 in Missouri the creation of Jim Crows laws, separation of the races, the most compels aspect of the story was in 2005, the US Senate apologize the part rotunda of the Congress was built by Southern Gentlemen’s donate Slaves time in the construction and the value of Southern Gentlemen in the constitution is ¾ more the average white proprietary who does not own slaves. Despite of Black America were in Indian Wars, WWI and especially WWII the benefits for most GI return from the war when to white race.
During WWII the tradition of some men are least then others applied when the Jews needed a place to escape Europe, the USA close the doors in dramatic as in 1938 where the Spirit of San Louis carrying 960 refugees, where deny port in New York or actively encourage others by pressure to do the same, case in point was the same ship ask port in Havana Cuba and USA pressure Cuba to do the same. The significance in 1942 the existences and the events happen in the concentration camps were known. Due to the fact the Polish resistance inform the British, moreover the Nazis made a proposal to save the Hungarian Jewish for 1,000 trucks all deny, by the British, because they did not wanted the Jewish from Europe or USA did not destroy the lines to Auschwitz-Birkenau after, the Jewish communities beg. Auschwitz-Birkenau was divided in many sub-camps, and one aspect of the camp was the slave labor for the industry used for the war effort in Germany, the need result the factories where destroy and crematorium stand.
Creation of Myth of Islam?
After the Basrah a Philosophical Society tried unsuccessfully to reconcile religion with science in the 10 Century, Islam relationship towards the Secular World is least hostile. Islam kept some of the East-Autocratic, Paternalistic and despotic attitudes and puritan Islam born in the 18 century.
The use of Puritan Islamic law in Saudi Arabia or puritan Shiia law in Iran, as contradiction with Islam has been period of tolerance toward females and even homosexuality. In the case of homosexuality puritan attitudes bring in the process of colonization by West cry of tolerance by the West.
How were able from the beginning to maintain purity, by deny the Hebrew Law (Torah) to be truth, like Luther later on, Mohammad believe he being the Messiah and by argument will have the Jews to convert. What Mohammad did not understand because Jews maintain the religion hermetic-exclusive their traditions will never accepted outsider. From the Jews side, by not recognized Mohammad as the Messiah, by taken sides with enemies and the enemies losing to him 900 heads were lost. Mohammad wanted to destroy all Jews, but since they were behind his had, well they about 35 Shuras dealing with them, from Jews are hostile to Muslins 5:82, to warning not Muslins be friend to Jews. Christianity does not better about 25 Shuras some from errand in old ways and Belief 5:77 and the most positive close to feel affection for Muslins 5:88.
In some ways the believers of the people rules was in believe, the Islam is a political solution, and the non-believers whether belong to people of the book or not will be under Islamic Rule. What entitle being under rule, is difficult question, because the despotic nature of the regime was in Mercy of the ruler. The first expulsion of the Jews of did not happen in 1441, but in 12 century when a revival of Islamic fundamentalism force the tolerance experiment in Granada to hold. Under their rules, Christian and Jews had many restrictions like color yellow for Jews and Blue for Christians. Donkeys were transportation and mules for Christians, since not believer could be taller then a believer camels were reserve for believers, and horses were instrument of war. Professional restrictions were from Iran only Christian where to take care the death, a believer can’t be impurity with the death and case of Medical Doctors in many case were Jews since they were expose to other threats though, since Islam try to Isolated from any foreign influence, many Vicers over role religions Authorities and created in resentment towards the Jews and yes there was pogroms in Islamic lands. In the personal level restrictions when the Jews using public bath needed to have a yellow string around them, since Muslins and Jews are need to show who is believer, other restriction In Iran Jews were not allot to leave their house in snow and raining days, since the water will touch the skin of the non-believer and if the water which has touch the non-believer will go in to the well or water system will impurity the believer, but the most significant was the ceremony of paying the Poll-Tax, witch the Vicer can hit the non-believer to show who is in control.
What is wrong?
Secular Europe is having a hard time to swallow the US exceptionalism view of himself, in part for US is seeing his world in religious revival- US view towards Israel to fulfill Prophesy of the second come of their Messiah- the Rapture, where half Jews will die and the other half will convert to Christianity, some American Jews seeing this a beanie wishful Messianic group, but so was Hitler, just a beanie dictator become a mass murder, even the signs were in his written and Hitler action in the Spanish revolution his intent was conquest of Europe, they are not beanie religious Zealots, they want a religious utopia. Israel is in the same situation were the Nationalist Religious groups are pushing for Messianic confrontation also expect a catastrophic event, and Islam for his part not different from any these groups.
We can not say all history has nothing to do with the working class our problem is working class in Kansas are the ones who are supporting with their political, body and soul and worst by vote other action are voting against their own interest. The working class in Kansas because Protestant background and the poor low middle class about 60% believe the Rapture will happen in their life time or the next 50 years, the fact they have give out any desire for the fight for the right of health care or education, they feel so powerless the let religion is suppose be instrument of power for elites to define the masses.
In 50’s Eisenhower introduce God to pledge of the legions to separate to the Godless Soviet Union and created the emotional instrument to pacify the masses by creating a sense of hope, Strauss believe the religion should be use to pacified the masses, as opium to relax the masses.
Not enough say Evolution and the Evolutionary molecular biology which is creating molecular medicine and benefit all us, because like the Darwinian survival we also have need community, belonging and our angel of solidarity, we need to appeal to desire our sense solidarity to over come our religion drug relaxes. Religion appeal the ideal of the individual specially the version Protestant of US and is the drug, still solidarity is the only angel of salvation.

Silence is Acknowledgment
Sixteen year has past since liberation of concentration camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau by the red army as decedents of victims and predators we have created a world so dark, we need to understand how we got here and where we going. Conflict has been a dynamic created for a need to have more space for survived, certain preferences and emphasis in a hierarchy. There is a need to own a space, a tradition of locality, where a group of newcomers, take place and developed a mythology. The myth was need to know where we come and where we go, and the myth was express by rational though, eventually become a sciences, and emotionally a logos, a beginning, become believe and a philosophy. Athens codified values acceptable in the time, the slave, the barbarian, the other, the non-Greek and Rome codified the empire built on slaves. Greeks love of freedom was challenge by the Persian, but was Athens in creation of greed for a commercial empire, where his tool, the democracy of his own city. Where Athens self righteous given the right to conquer their own Greeks, the end result was a split in the Greeks cities.
Egypt, the idea of the men-God, Pharos was transmuted to one single God, absolute intolerant to any other Gods. Jews in Alexandria found their first Pogrom 70 years before the destruction of the Second Temple the charge was the Jewish do not believe in Gods, since they had not statutes to proof a God. But the tradition of intolerant was not unique to Egypt or Greek, but was writing Saul lost his Kingdom, because he refused to annihilate the family of his enemy, Amalek, because the Bible demanded the annihilation/genocide of Amalek.
The idea of being unique was transferee to one of the Jewish sect in the time of the second temple. Christianity make a claim for that uniqueness, and 325 in Nicea demanded, the you will not need to be Jew to a Christian, so transfer the mantel of being chosen from the Monotheistic Judaism, and to deny the power, Christianity deny the Jews to own slaves and the economic significances Rome was built on slaves.
The new Christian identity created a myth of Jews not as Religion, but the anti-thesis of their choice (the Anti-Christ). Later on the Jewish become under power of Christianity, by deny power, owning, the feudal structure was base from the beginning ownership of land and vassals belong to a purpose. The purpose was given by Socrates, they the rulers/the philosopher king had the right to governance, in Christianity was God and very one had his place, the Jewish belong to the King, the king and the church owns the lords and the lords own the peasant. The dark effect was Jewish, where demonize as the infidels in the Crusade time. The Jewish will pay by forced conversions in Spain and eventually expulsion in 1491. The power of the church was transform during WWII the Jewish Children under control of the Roman Catholic Church were deny of reunification with the Jewish organization, or even family. From the feudal times, Jewish had to identify themselves by yellow starts and ghettos codify how to leave a behavior. After the church lost his power, the raw hate was transform into the WWII holocaust.
In Spain in the 13 century the Bishop of Seville wrote a Jewish solution to the Jewish question, the answer for him was genocide and Luther in the reformation come to the same conclusion. The Russian Czar give the Jewish Children to the Orthodox Church, in the excuse was Jewish boys in the age 12 needed to server the Czar in his Army. The well being of the 12 years were under Orthodox Church, they saw in some ways needed to save the Jewish from them by pressure 12 years old to convert.
But this behavior was not unique to Christianity, Islam look to Judaism as Christianity did for validation. Judaism haven her own tradition and believes refused, many Jewish fought Mohammad, and retribution was decapitation, in realization. The Jews were in many lands and Christianity was a state power Islam created special rules dealing with the people of the book. Islam codify a second class citizen, built on humiliation, were the emissary of the Emir, when the emissary collected the pool taxes from the semi-infidel, the emissary hit his head, so a sense of superiority and humiliation. Jewish or Christian could not ride camels, because they could not be taller of the believers, Jewish were send in donkeys with yellow turbans and yellow string so will be identify in the public baths. In Iran Jewish were not allot to be outside when snow or rain, since the water touching their skin will impurity the believers. Christians were to use blue turbans and mules transportation mode, not Churches or Synagogues where to be built, after Mohammad death. Only the ones which existed in the time of he being alive could be repair.
In the dynamics of history Judaism in their own believe of being chosen, take a new path, where in the time of the temple the three major groups where the Priest Judaism, which took sided with Rome, since the invitation of Judah Maccabeus, Rome choose the priest, the nationalist and Rabbinical Judaism was legalistic. Rabbinical Judaism was save since one of the leaders Johanna Ben Zakai obtained from Vespasian, Caesar a place to developed the Rabbinical Judaism in Yavned where he created the Talmudic schools. Legal Judaism innovation was a believe independent of the land, in some ways was possible because in Babylon existed Jewish communities, where believe was independent of place. Only the Messiah could claim the land, not Jewish where to own the land to the Messiah time. Rabbinical Judaism had control of the community for long the Jewish were isolated and in the isolation there was not exposure to the outside. Early Islam in the conquest absorbed the locals, and one of the cultured they desire was the culture of Aristotle's and Socrates. The influences was develop in Islam the rationalist movement of the 11 century, the works of Averroes’ philosophy influenced Jewish like Maimonides, influence by the rationalist schools. The fact was in Spain the interaction between the three religions created a fertile ground in any case for Judaism rationalism has been influenced by Islam rediscover, Aristotle and Socrates.
Rabbi Saadia of Baghdad's in the 9 century was influence to the rationalist though, but his influenced behind the Jewish community was limited or not existence since Baghdad's was far away from Europe, Rabbi Saadia influence was minimal to the west (But he had tremendous influences to the Jewish communities of the diaspora).
Maimonides created the Logos which influence Aquinas and his logo was the influence by Islam rationalist. Maimonides Logos get him ex-communicated in certain segment of Rabbinical Judaism, since the idea of Judaism was base in the commitments of the 613 command, independent of the immediate understanding. The idea of understanding was emphasis after the action. Spinoza took the tradition of the logos created a god in Nature. Other Jewish, took another path in Palestine in the 14 and 15 century, base in the mythical stream of Rabbi Moshe de Leon 12 century book of the Splendor and the long tradition of esoteric though and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in the late 1491 had effect to the secularization of identity.
The French revolution, and carry by Napoleon give the Jewish in France a citizenship. Now the Jewish are out the Ghetto, in a new secular structure and the rivalry with Christianity who holds the truth, created the seeds for Zionism. The issue was Christianity, and Islam in some level Judaism, in their religion structure created the elements where in the conquest of America give the right to the white men to genocide the aborigine's. Delas Casas change the mind of Christianity the American first nations, where human not Animals, but for Black African, the slave trade between the own groups accepted in Islam, who started the trade in Africa. The Americas was paradise for the trade, where the Spain, Portugal and Spain influenced by Roman Catholic Church doctrine encourage the slave black Africa is a religious duty. But was England, who transformed the slaves to be commodities, in the English colonies. In Virginia commonwealth the definition of slaves was one of birth, where not slave could be free if he or she born under that destiny, and moreover generations were bound to that destiny and fate.
After the French Indian war England promise the first not nations not expansion to the west, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson repudiated the new rules, when the new taxes where impose, given a huge incentives for independence. From the moment of independent, USA tries to conquer the northern part of the continent. The continent had an internal problem, because that was French territory transfer by war to the English, and had a French speaking colony.
Benedict Arnold could not take Quebec City in 1777 and later USA under the leadership Governor of Indiana in 1812-1813 try invades Canada from Fort Detroit. USA saw his right to be an imperial power, to open the west and not doubt the north. After the civil war threat were made Canada got confederation.
In the 1863 civil war, the war of the union, Lincoln saw the only way to brake the South back was to emancipate the slaves, since the south was Agriculture society engine and slaves. James Town Virginia, which their crop was Tobacco, used the economic exploitation of human slaves. The South Carolina rice crops use slaves, and cotton the most important export in the 1840's was driving by King Cotton. The industrial north economic wealth was driving by the investments of the south, many loans and investments were support by firms of the time, J. P. Morgan, for example accepted 10,000 slaves as collateral for loans, when the loans defaults, the slaves where sold to the market. In the eve of the civil war New York City major with city hall wanted to subside from New York and subside from the Union, because the entire financial district had invested in South.
The lack of conviction about emancipation had as result in the late 1888 in Missouri the creation of the Jim Crows laws, separation of the races. During WWII the tradition of some men are least then others applied when the Jews needed a place to escape Europe, the USA close the doors in dramatic as in 1938 where the Spirit of San Louis carrying 960 refugees, where deny port in New York or actively encourage others by pressure to doe the same, case in point was the same ship ask port in Havana Cuba and USA pressure Cuba to do the same. The significance in 1942 the existences and the events happen in the concentration camps were known. Due to the fact the Polish resistance inform the British, moreover the Nazis made a proposal to save the Hungarian Jewish for 1,000 trucks all deny, by the British, because they did not wanted the Jewish from Europe or USA did not destroy the lines to Auschwitz-Birkenau after, the Jewish communities beg. Auschwitz-Birkenau was divided in many sub-camps, and one aspect of the camp was the slave labor for the industry used for the war effort in Germany, the need result the factories where destroy and crematorium stand. Many families and organization benefice from the Nazi state in the case of Ford, who was an anti-Semitic in one point supporting the production of the Protocols of Zion, the company still in control of some subsidiaries, or IBM benefit even after the war, her subsidiary base in Switzerland pay the royalty's for the counter machines use to tabulated the deaths in camps. Even Prescott Bush the grant Father of the Bush dynasty when his interests of the company who invested in a company who had interests in the oil fields of Rumania's used by the Nazi state, getting in the 50's a 1.5 million when USA law order the liquidation of all the German companies who where involved in WWII. With the exception of Bayer, who was part of IG Farber was he only company never liquidated.
In fact Dr Weber and Dr. Vetter were employees of Bayer. Dr Helmuth Vetter was found guilty in a trial in 1947, who organized in various concentration camps series of pharmacological experiments, working closely with his former employer. Dr. Weber head of Bayer director of Monowitz-Auschwitz-Birkenau was convicted with crimes against humanity serving three years out seven years conviction and Bayer hire him back after his time in prison and retire as director of Bayer in the late 50's. Bayer subsidiary Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Schaedlingsbekampfung (German Corporation for Pest Control), produced the Zyklon B used in the camps the company was allot to exist after WWII, since the laws passé in 50’s all the NAZI assess were to be dissolve.
In other had Joseph Kennedy pushing the State Department to deny enter to Jews in the period or the fact Father Charles E. Coughlin from Chicago in the 30's transited messages of hate against the Jews in Chicago Illinois. The involvement of the Roman Catholic Church was not just holding the Jewish children after the war. The first diplomatic to recognize the Nazi state was the Vatican. In Slovakia the President was a Priest and devout Roman Catholic premier, who pay 500 Reich Marks to take the Jewish out their hands, or Croatia a priest head of state was active in the extermination, of Jews and Slavs.
Easter Europe had a tradition where the Cossack with the blessing of the Orthodox Church carrying the pogroms in the late 1800's and 1900's. The Protestants respond was in some cases participation or collaboration, despite, a few of them where themselves interns in the camps and some Polish priest were in the camps. The Nazi state sense of race was defined to be the anti- thesis of the Jews.
After 1945, the creation of the Jewish state was due to failure of Christian Europe and USA. The new Jewish state was first supported by Soviets. The Zionist moment at least one group was socialist. The land was a collective Jewish patrimony. A brake from the rabbinical tradition the Messiah was the only can make a claim, the idea of nation to fulfill an identity.
The cold war was the conflict between totalitarian regimes versus plutocrat elite in USA. The cold war defined the sides of the state of Israel, in the early stages Frances was the supported of the Jewish state to the 1966 war, only in 1973 conflict the USA take sided with the Jewish State. In the case of Islam the conflict of ownership of the land base on religion claims. The capture of Jerusalem 20 years after Mohammad death, Islam makes a claim to the Jewish temple. In 1940's Palestine the grant Mufti of Jerusalem collaborate with Nazi state and some of the Arabs troops were trained by the SS. Now we are with have Jewish state who worship the land as respond to the Jewish identity contrary to the Rabbinical Judaism had rejected in the first century. The plutocrat elite in USA with messianic delusion playing with the wishful thinking of a new Pax-Americana, Rome, created from Athens. Three Religions groups making a claim to a land size of New Jersey, where the Christian support to Israel is so disingenuous, expecting a second come of Christian God, where half the Jewish population will be death or converted, and Islam making the same claim to a god, a fatalistic God where destiny is given by God, and Jewish state confuse with the question of identity, with land.
In any human experience, the certainty given by religion, Islam has a beginning and end, so Christianity, with second come and Judaism with a claim to a Messiah, where there is a beginning and end. On the other had the developed in late 19 and 20 century, where nature is independent of this purpose given by religion. Evolution is not only about the species, but about the molecular changes, the DNA, Protein structures. The Physics are the relationships of the Energies, Forces and the Mass, creating structure, where the purpose is independent of
Humanity and the Human experiences in some sense of being is passenger in the same ship, not only for this generation but the other generations. But the inhabitants of the ship are independent of the ship. Humanity own destiny, the decision of being has consequences to our own quality of life, the evolution who bring us to where are today has a quality of life, we know today, about the Ozone, global warming and what we need to keep this place to go, for the generations to come, we are not pawns under elites promises of equality, because the desire can't achieved, there a limited of nature, in some way not enough and other way planning all depended how we use. The secularization is to accept the fact we are not chosen, but the chosen is what kind of life we all have, we are not just individuals, but also part of human experience.
Sixteen year has past since liberation of concentration camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau by the red army as decedents of victims and predators we have created a world so dark, we need to understand how we got here and where we going. Conflict has been a dynamic created for a need to have more space for survived, certain preferences and emphasis in a hierarchy.

The well being of the 12 years were under Orthodox Church, they saw in some ways needed to save the Jewish from them by pressure 12 years old to convert.
But this behavior was not unique to Christianity, Islam look to Judaism as Christianity did for validation. Judaism haven her own tradition and believes refused, many Jewish fought Mohammad, and retribution was decapitation, in realization. The Jews were in many lands and Christianity was a state power Islam created special rules dealing with the people of the book. Islam codify a second class citizen, built on humiliation, were the emissary of the Emir, when the emissary collected the pool taxes from the semi-infidel, the emissary hit his head, so a sense of superiority and humiliation. Jewish or Christian could not ride camels, because they could not be taller of the believers, Jewish were send in donkeys with yellow turbans and yellow string so will be identify in the public baths. In Iran Jewish were not allot to be outside when snow or rain, since the water touching their skin will impurity the believers. Christians were to use blue turbans and mules transportation mode, not Churches or Synagogues where to be built, after Mohammad death. Only the ones which existed in the time of he being alive could be repair.
In the dynamics of history Judaism in their own believe of being chosen, take a new path, where in the time of the temple the three major groups where the Priest Judaism, which took sided with Rome, since the invitation of Judah Maccabeus, Rome choose the priest, the nationalist and Rabbinical Judaism was legalistic. Rabbinical Judaism was save since one of the leaders Johanna Ben Zakai obtained from Vespasian, Caesar a place to developed the Rabbinical Judaism in Yavned where he created the Talmudic schools. Legal Judaism innovation was a believe independent of the land, in some ways was possible because in Babylon existed Jewish communities, where believe was independent of place. Only the Messiah could claim the land, not Jewish where to own the land to the Messiah time. Rabbinical Judaism had control of the community for long the Jewish were isolated and in the isolation there was not exposure to the outside. Early Islam in the conquest absorbed the locals, and one of the cultured they desire was the culture of Aristotle's and Socrates. The influences was develop in Islam the rationalist movement of the 11 century, the works of Averroes’ philosophy influenced Jewish like Maimonides, influence by the rationalist schools. The fact was in Spain the interaction between the three religions created a fertile ground in any case for Judaism rationalism has been influenced by Islam rediscover, Aristotle and Socrates.

Maimonides created the Logos which influence Aquinas and his logo was the influence by Islam rationalist. Maimonides Logos get him ex-communicated in certain segment of Rabbinical Judaism, since the idea of Judaism was base in the commitments of the 613 command, independent of the immediate understanding. The idea of understanding was emphasis after the action. Spinoza took the tradition of the logos created a god in Nature. Other Jewish, took another path in Palestine in the 14 and 15 century, base in the mythical stream of Rabbi Moshe de Leon 12 century book of the Splendor and the long tradition of esoteric though and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in the late 1491 had effect to the secularization of identity.
The French revolution, and carry by Napoleon give the Jewish in France a citizenship. Now the Jewish are out the Ghetto, in a new secular structure and the rivalry with Christianity who holds the truth, created the seeds for Zionism. The issue was Christianity, and Islam in some level Judaism, in their religion structure created the elements where in the conquest of America give the right to the white men to genocide the aborigine's. Delas Casas change the mind of Christianity the American first nations, where human not Animals, but for Black African, the slave trade between the own groups accepted in Islam, who started the trade in Africa. The Americas was paradise for the trade, where the Spain, Portugal and Spain influenced by Roman Catholic Church doctrine encourage the slave black Africa is a religious duty. But was England, who transformed the slaves to be commodities, in the English colonies. In Virginia commonwealth the definition of slaves was one of birth, where not slave could be free if he or she born under that destiny, and moreover generations were bound to that destiny and fate.
After the French Indian war England promise the first not nations not expansion to the west, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson repudiated the new rules, when the new taxes where impose, given a huge incentives for independence. From the moment of independent, USA tries to conquer the northern part of the continent. The continent had an internal problem, because that was French territory transfer by war to the English, and had a French speaking colony.
Benedict Arnold could not take Quebec City in 1777 and later USA under the leadership Governor of Indiana in 1812-1813 try invades Canada from Fort Detroit. USA saw his right to be an imperial power, to open the west and not doubt the north. After the civil war threat were made Canada got confederation.
In the 1863 civil war, the war of the union, Lincoln saw the only way to brake the South back was to emancipate the slaves, since the south was Agriculture society engine and slaves. James Town Virginia, which their crop was Tobacco, used the economic exploitation of human slaves. The South Carolina rice crops use slaves, and cotton the most important export in the 1840's was driving by King Cotton. The industrial north economic wealth was driving by the investments of the south, many loans and investments were support by firms of the time, J. P. Morgan, for example accepted 10,000 slaves as collateral for loans, when the loans defaults, the slaves where sold to the market. In the eve of the civil war New York City major with city hall wanted to subside from New York and subside from the Union, because the entire financial district had invested in South.
The lack of conviction about emancipation had as result in the late 1888 in Missouri the creation of the Jim Crows laws, separation of the races. During WWII the tradition of some men are least then others applied when the Jews needed a place to escape Europe, the USA close the doors in dramatic as in 1938 where the Spirit of San Louis carrying 960 refugees, where deny port in New York or actively encourage others by pressure to doe the same, case in point was the same ship ask port in Havana Cuba and USA pressure Cuba to do the same. The significance in 1942 the existences and the events happen in the concentration camps were known. Due to the fact the Polish resistance inform the British, moreover the Nazis made a proposal to save the Hungarian Jewish for 1,000 trucks all deny, by the British, because they did not wanted the Jewish from Europe or USA did not destroy the lines to Auschwitz-Birkenau after, the Jewish communities beg. Auschwitz-Birkenau was divided in many sub-camps, and one aspect of the camp was the slave labor for the industry used for the war effort in Germany, the need result the factories where destroy and crematorium stand. Many families and organization benefice from the Nazi state in the case of Ford, who was an anti-Semitic in one point supporting the production of the Protocols of Zion, the company still in control of some subsidiaries, or IBM benefit even after the war, her subsidiary base in Switzerland pay the royalty's for the counter machines use to tabulated the deaths in camps. Even Prescott Bush the grant Father of the Bush dynasty when his interests of the company who invested in a company who had interests in the oil fields of Rumania's used by the Nazi state, getting in the 50's a 1.5 million when USA law order the liquidation of all the German companies who where involved in WWII. With the exception of Bayer, who was part of IG Farber was he only company never liquidated.
In fact Dr Weber and Dr. Vetter were employees of Bayer. Dr Helmuth Vetter was found guilty in a trial in 1947, who organized in various concentration camps series of pharmacological experiments, working closely with his former employer. Dr. Weber head of Bayer director of Monowitz-Auschwitz-Birkenau was convicted with crimes against humanity serving three years out seven years conviction and Bayer hire him back after his time in prison and retire as director of Bayer in the late 50's. Bayer subsidiary Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Schaedlingsbekampfung (German Corporation for Pest Control), produced the Zyklon B used in the camps the company was allot to exist after WWII, since the laws passé in 50’s all the NAZI assess were to be dissolve.
In other had Joseph Kennedy pushing the State Department to deny enter to Jews in the period or the fact Father Charles E. Coughlin from Chicago in the 30's transited messages of hate against the Jews in Chicago Illinois. The involvement of the Roman Catholic Church was not just holding the Jewish children after the war. The first diplomatic to recognize the Nazi state was the Vatican. In Slovakia the President was a Priest and devout Roman Catholic premier, who pay 500 Reich Marks to take the Jewish out their hands, or Croatia a priest head of state was active in the extermination, of Jews and Slavs.
Easter Europe had a tradition where the Cossack with the blessing of the Orthodox Church carrying the pogroms in the late 1800's and 1900's. The Protestants respond was in some cases participation or collaboration, despite, a few of them where themselves interns in the camps and some Polish priest were in the camps. The Nazi state sense of race was defined to be the anti- thesis of the Jews.
After 1945, the creation of the Jewish state was due to failure of Christian Europe and USA. The new Jewish state was first supported by Soviets. The Zionist moment at least one group was socialist. The land was a collective Jewish patrimony. A brake from the rabbinical tradition the Messiah was the only can make a claim, the idea of nation to fulfill an identity.
The cold war was the conflict between totalitarian regimes versus plutocrat elite in USA. The cold war defined the sides of the state of Israel, in the early stages Frances was the supported of the Jewish state to the 1966 war, only in 1973 conflict the USA take sided with the Jewish State. In the case of Islam the conflict of ownership of the land base on religion claims. The capture of Jerusalem 20 years after Mohammad death, Islam makes a claim to the Jewish temple. In 1940's Palestine the grant Mufti of Jerusalem collaborate with Nazi state and some of the Arabs troops were trained by the SS. Now we are with have Jewish state who worship the land as respond to the Jewish identity contrary to the Rabbinical Judaism had rejected in the first century. The plutocrat elite in USA with messianic delusion playing with the wishful thinking of a new Pax-Americana, Rome, created from Athens. Three Religions groups making a claim to a land size of New Jersey, where the Christian support to Israel is so disingenuous, expecting a second come of Christian God, where half the Jewish population will be death or converted, and Islam making the same claim to a god, a fatalistic God where destiny is given by God, and Jewish state confuse with the question of identity, with land.
In any human experience, the certainty given by religion, Islam has a beginning and end, so Christianity, with second come and Judaism with a claim to a Messiah, where there is a beginning and end. On the other had the developed in late 19 and 20 century, where nature is independent of this purpose given by religion. Evolution is not only about the species, but about the molecular changes, the DNA, Protein structures. The Physics are the relationships of the Energies, Forces and the Mass, creating structure, where the purpose is independent of
Humanity and the Human experiences in some sense of being is passenger in the same ship, not only for this generation but the other generations. But the inhabitants of the ship are independent of the ship. Humanity own destiny, the decision of being has consequences to our own quality of life, the evolution who bring us to where are today has a quality of life, we know today, about the Ozone, global warming and what we need to keep this place to go, for the generations to come, we are not pawns under elites promises of equality, because the desire can't achieved, there a limited of nature, in some way not enough and other way planning all depended how we use. The secularization is to accept the fact we are not chosen, but the chosen is what kind of life we all have, we are not just individuals, but also part of human experience.
