Anarcho-Historian #14: State Mythologies and their Mystical Powers

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The Judeo-Christian Monotheist Cult has transcended into World History’s master in the fine art of Monster Fantasy. We have Lucifer, the Enemy, Satan, the Devil, the Destroyer, the Dragon, the Evil One, the Great Prostitute of the Apocalypse, the Deceiver, the Antichrist, the Beast; with the multiple Vampires, Ghosts, Evil Spirits, the Unrighteous, Demons, Witches, Diviners, Warlocks, Magicians, Covens, Pagans, Idolaters, Heathens, Satanic Orgies, Sodomites, False Prophets, Blasphemers, Sexualized Bodies, Darkened Souls, Homosexuals, Corrupters, Abortionists, Inverts, Hell, Inferno, Occultists, Devil Worshippers, the Lake of Fire, Lake of Perdition, Heretics, Apostates, Infidels and Unrepentant Sinners. Did I miss an evil group?

But the Modern State has overtaken the Judeo-Christians. No other modern entity, nor any contemporary institution, has successfully utilized its supreme powers in mythologizing both the greatness and benevolence of the State, and at the same time, transforming the refashioned Enemies of the State into the Enemies of the People.

We now have the greatest example, in recent modern history, of the modern state’s sophisticated constructions of mythology. This particular Super Event happened very recently, and it took place in world history’s most genocidal and murderous world Empire.

It has the official name of the 9/11 Super Event inside of the Super Amerikan Empire. The whole corporate media manipulation of that One Event exposes the vile methods the State uses in constructing its own mythology and mystical powers.

Like many Americans I can never forget that day. I had lived in America after traveling and living overseas for a few years, and having finished my enlistment in the US military.

The 2000 election seemed to look like a total farce. The US Supreme Court had to sanctify the phony choice, and some angry Americans even attacked the presidential motorcade after the staged presidential inauguration. The US government definitely had a slight problem with the State’s most dangerous fear: illegitimacy. A lot of Americans seemed to despise the dumb ass leader born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

And then it happened one morning. The entire occurrence seemed like a staged Hollywood film: two planes flew into two large skyscrapers in NYC, and the two skyscrapers fell into the ground like a house of cards.

There was also news about a plane crashing into the ground, and another plane crashing into the US military headquarters in D.C., the Pentagon. But it was the Event of the two planes crashing into the two Towers, and then having the Towers explode into a house of cards fall, which made the unforgettable Experience.

What was it about that Event: two planes crashing into two large, ugly, rectangular box buildings, (originally built with investments from the Rockefeller Mob), in NYC, and then having them crash down vertically straight? Was it the smoke after the building collapse? Was it the loss of life of around 3,000 humans due to the Crash?

I had seen buildings crash down before in similar ways. I remember watching the destruction of the old, massive monolith casinos on the Strip in Vegas. The explosions were shocking, but I didn’t linger on the destruction of the old, Mafia-run casinos hitting the dust. I also remember watching the corporate TV news about disasters across the world, such as massive earthquakes, general ecological destruction, the US Invasion of Iraq, and other world traumas, all of which had more than 3,000 human victims. Human history has filled its occult volumes with terrible massacres and calamities – yet most of us simply continue with our boring, short lives of suffering.

The building collapses and loss of life did not create this new US imperial mythology. The corporate media propaganda events after the Main Event, commandeered the state mythology.

Immediately after the event, the illegitimate Leader wasn’t seen for most of the day, and then made a sudden, ‘strong appearance’ on TV. Other political leaders-fakers immediately hit the TV screens and gave their impassioned pleas for eternal war, mass murder and vengeance. The talk shows and crap corporate news contributed to the patriotic hoopla and Eternal Remembrance tropes. But the story didn’t end there…

Authorities had found one of the passports of the alleged hijackers on top of the tons of burnt building debris? The next day, like the Super Enemy in George Orwell’s book, 1984, ‘Goldstein,’ the corporate channels flashed a new Wanted Enemy, Osama Bin Laden, with his new, secret so-called organization, Al Qaeda. The corporate print news flashed their front pages with the wanted faces of the alleged masterminds of the attack – all of them Arab looking. Immediately, the Zio-Nazi propaganda flooded the American, corporate TV news with a video of a few Palestinians celebrating over something, and according to the corporate liars – it was a celebration over the recent terror attacks.

Suddenly, phony news intellectuals-intelligence agents, State liars, fanatics of all sorts, were spouting the American jihad over the air and tele waves, spitting out hate against Islam and Arabs, and yes, Asians were suspects too! Even TV commentators were sporting red, white and blue colors. And the mythological vomit continued…

The Amerikan Empire invaded the sovereign country of Afghanistan, which had nothing to do with the attacks – and with the apparent support of the whole world? Anthrax letters were floating across the country. No one could take a plane anywhere. The President authorized US military personnel to hang around airport security areas with loaded assault rifles. The rubber stamp US Congress immediately passed legislation, the Patriot Act and the Defense Authorization Act, which transformed the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution, into lifeless amendments.

A new national, secret police force emerged: Homeland Security. Another new group of airport bozos began to harass travelers inside the airports: the TSA. And it was even difficult to travel on train and on bus. US Government billboard and audio propaganda constantly encouraged other Americans to snitch on each other in the War on Terror. It definitely was a War of Terror.

Even when a few intelligent Americans questioned the whole mythology narrative, other patriots denounced them to the FBI, America’s political security police, or the Amerikan Gestapo. The FBI hoodlums visited the ‘traitors’ for questioning, and then that same organization declared war against the United States’ Muslim population. Hundreds of Muslims still rot inside the Amerikan Gulag only due to entrapment and hearsay evidence.

The vast Amerikan population, already mentally softened through years of mandatory jail-schooling and corporate media massive brainwashing, became even more indoctrinated into the Amerikan nightmare. I even listened to a few Americans speak of the Leader’s new greatness?

Before the whole event, those same cowards were calling for his impeachment! I even heard about other young guys immediately signing away their lives to the US military in order to avenge the Attack.

I couldn’t believe it, but here I was living in a delirium of fanaticism, mass indoctrination, hate and fear – deep in the belly of the most murderous empire in human history. Most disconcertedly, I had to watch my mouth, stay even more quiet in public, and maintain watch against the Empire’s secret police forces. Typing certain words on a keyboard or taking out a certain book from the library, could spike an icy fear into my spine.

And then the Internet fought back. There were lots of marginalized intellectuals and websites claiming that the Event was actually an inside job commandeered through the US government. I didn’t buy that theory in the beginning, and it seemed strange that these guys all came public with their secret information, after the Main Event. But the over the top, both State and corporate mythology, seemed to give the Internet bloggers, representing the 9/11 Truth Movement, some credence.

I don’t have any proofs of an inside job, and being a doctor historian, I don’t like to guess when I don’t know the full story. Although, the elite junta of sociopaths that run the Amerikan Empire are certainly evil enough to plot such a monstrosity.

Until one of the elite conspirators comes clean in public, I can’t speak of any plots. But I do know one thing, the whole 9/11 Event was the ultimate Mythology Act in Modern History. Thankfully, all the exaggerated, massive overkill of State Mythology tropes, such as the 9/11 Super Event, has been one of the last cards in the Great Sociopath’s brainwashing-magic show.

When the Leader’s corporate, mythology hypnosis wore off after initiating two genocidal wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq, Amerika’s political-economic elites put up a so-called ‘Change Agent,’ through the selection of the Empire’s first President of Color. All of the genocidal history of mass murder, kidnapping, cruel slavery, imposed poverty, and mass imprisonment against African-Americans, was apparently over.

But this son of two CIA agents, who had slithered through the putrid halls of Ivy League, Amerikan University brainwashing, (the same as the previous sociopath before him), would also lose his legitimacy. Only the die-hard Leftist cowards of Amerikan academia still praise the faker. The Great Sociopath is running out of options – and which makes it even more dangerous.

Mythology is the final repository of elite lies in the place of history, and it represents the most dangerous art of all modern States and contemporary governments. All states and governments mythologize events, usually taking advantage of tragic events, thereby creating a double layer of emotional significance over the original occurrence. The double layer of emotional significance transforms the original meanings of a particular event into a super event, a total life changer for the passive viewer.

The media labels a certain, national event, as a type of national trauma. The national trauma is not really a trauma with ‘the people.’ It is actually a trauma with the government. The government has realized that a certain segment of the population is losing respect and legitimacy for the established authorities. So how does the State return legitimacy to the sinister regime? The citizens, subjects, or people within the country or nation, have to start viewing the previous, delegitimized State as a victim – through the media manipulations of the mythologized, super event.

State mythologies work this way: the sacred Nation has lost a war with human casualties, but the millions of foreign victims from the previous invasions, bombings and endless wars do not count. Only the national soldiers, selected martyrs, who gave their lives and mental stability for the lost cause deserve sympathy. A group of evildoers attacked the Nation at peace. Thousands or hundreds of ‘our people’ lost their lives. The Nation, meaning the State, must avenge the innocents. This is the reason state mythology is so heinous, it cloaks the goals of the State and the government under the cover of the Nation and the People.

There exists an actual event of trauma, or betrayal, and then come the contexts surrounding the event, inclusive of recurring images, public speeches, staged after-events, corporate media commentaries, repetition of tragedy and fighting words calling for vengeance, such as further wars, attacks, invasions and bombings. The last act of all is the cultural scene of cinema movies, TV shows, and next, the media arrests, imprisonment of the targeted ones – and the rightful murder of the evil ones.

The most important method of State Mythology is the after-event, the cultural contexts surrounding the first event. The first event means little. The mythologized after-events pull on the emotions, which leave the intellect blinded through propaganda, lies and meaningless slogans. These cheap emotions often cling to our most base human passions.

In the case of the United States Government, state mythology has always led to violence and war: the horrible attack on Fort Sumter, the cowardly attack of the Battleship Maine, the brutal attack of the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, the Treason of giving the Bomb secrets to the Communists, the Kennedy Assassination, the National Trauma of Vietnam and the Sixties, the Death of Len Bias the basketball star due to the Crack-Drug epidemic, the White Militia-Dangerous Christian Cult threat of homegrown terrorism, 9/11 and the selection of the Change-No Change Agent, (who happened to represent a person of color).

Before WWII, state mythological events happened every 30 years or so, with the advent of another war – for peace… But after WWII, the US government has been steadily increasing its state mythology events and after-events. They are still not finished with their nefarious arts in media manipulation. 9/11 was their last successful media-war event.

After the re-election of the Change-No Change Master, he tried to destroy America’s gun culture with the Sandy Hook mythology event. But it didn’t work. America’s gun culture fought back and is as strong as ever – and it will remain strong – unless the US government begins outright gun confiscations.

The Amerikan elite sociopaths in power never concede defeats however. When they fail, they formulate another evil plot inside the chambers of their multiple intelligence-spy agencies. These same mass murderers will mythologize one more ‘super national trauma’ in order to successfully try the gun confiscations. But once they throw down this last hand, the legitimacy of the Amerikan system will end for millions of citizens.

The old tricks of state mythology are losing their luster. Once state mythology falls flat, state legitimacy then loses its previous brilliance.

And finaly, we must wait for the terrible fall and destruction of that Evil Empire – crumbling from within – like a house of cards.

Dangerous Ideologies I: The Judeo-Christian Monotheist Cult

 

Justice signifies a somewhat loaded, strange word.

Nowadays, the state thugs in the Amerikan Empire who scream the loudest about justice have also been its worst abusers against US citizens. Police and prosecutors normally put the word justice on their buildings, cars, uniforms, and within bizarre emblems that hang on their prison walls. The British writer George Orwell predicted this deranged behavior in his great book, 1984, (published in 1948), about the destruction of language, such as the term, peace, which really meant unending war and endless enemies.

The Amerikan Empire currently labels insecurity and fear mongering as security. High unemployment, lack of any social safety net for most Americans, and higher trading volume on the Stock Market, possess the label of economic recovery. The list of official lies, state corruption and elite criminality fills volumes from the pages of world history.

One peculiar ideology has helped twist human languages and meaning destruction during its long reigns of terror and error – and it still works wonders to this very day. This ideology birthed out of a group of west Asian people who called themselves Jews during the sixth century BCE. They were one of the captive nations under the Persian-Medean Empire at that time.

The Jewish elites had performed a miracle of language. They had codified diverse religious texts, taking stories from the Zoroastrian Avesta, picking laws and customs from the ancient Babylonian city states and the Assyrian Empire, and adding some religious mystical concepts from various, regional religious rites, such as the Carthaginians, Palestinians and Egyptians. They claimed to discover a righteous and brutal God in continual war against a despicable world order under the darkness of idolatry.

Those Jewish intellectuals transformed their holy book, called ‘Tanakh,’ into an often contradictory and bizarre hodgepodge of minute, regulatory, religious laws, such as Torah and Mitzvot, all of which was under a blood lineage priest class.

Their holy cannon also included a second section of prophetic dirges related to retribution and vengeance, or end times prophecies, such as Daniel, and the other Prophetic Books or Nevi’im. The third section regarded religious chants, psalms and miscellaneous religious axioms, such as Proverbs and Wisdom, or Ketuvim. In relation to the Torah, or the Five Books of Moses, were ancient Levant lore and legends, Joshua and Judges, and political-historical rival narrations, Kings and Chronicles.

The Jewish priests were the first people in human history to create a religious nation, with its temple center in Jerusalem, from a complete compendium of books, now called the Old Testament. In past history, it was the other way around. Those priests were quite successful in their religious-nation construction. But their religion of intolerance, authoritarianism and vengeance could only succeed, if they maintained an autonomous religious empire within a land mass continent, which also held much stronger pagan idolatrous empires.

After the full dedication of the rebuilt Second Temple, about a hundred and fifty years later from the Return of Exile, they soon had problems with the Seleucid Greeks. Then came the Romans, which also led to some jurisdiction issues. The Romans would eventually destroy the Temple and the city of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Those Romans had mistakenly thought that they had done finally away with the annoying nucleus of judeo-monotheists.

We now know that the monotheists had their final laughs inside their own secret chambers. Judeo-Christianity eventually took over the Roman Empire by the sixth century A.D. Around a thousand years later, monotheism had fulfilled its long journey of control, but it was still not finished.

During the previous, fifth century A.D., the Christians had been in full battle mode, which was their modus operandi from the beginning. Their religious structure of bishops, priests and deacons actually resembled the efficient structure of the Roman army. The Christians revived the old Jewish prophetic tradition through the influence of mad preaching monks of the desert and of the cities. Like the Jewish priests of ancient times, the Christians began to write extensively against pagan intellectuals, philosophers and even against their old Jewish forebears. Bishop Saint Augustine of Hippo represented one of those most effective polemicists.

Using the same methods centuries earlier, the Christians, specifically Saint Jerome, had finally codified their own holy compendium of books, now called the New Testament. They even took the Old Testament as their own and transcended everything into the Holy Bible, or the Holy Book. All the other circulating Gospels, Early Church histories, Epistle letters, and prophetic texts, mostly related to the Gnostics, entered the dustbin of rejected accounts.

This massive organizational and militant project was only in its beginning stages however. The Christian movement moved into the full public sphere of spiritual and military agitation, while conducting religious rallies of revenge against their pagan enemies and diverse idolaters, such as the Neo-Platonists, Jews that refused the Christ, Mithraites, followers of the Goddess Isis, or anybody that simply stayed loyal to the Greco-Roman, Celt or Germanic religious traditions. The Christians especially proved virulent against their religious rivals, called ‘heretics and schismatics,’ such as the Manichaeans, Gnostics, Monophysites, Donatists and Arians.

On a hot day in March, 415 A.D., the Christians ordered the pagan woman philosopher, Hypatia, burned alive in the main square of Alexandria. The Christians would continue their mass murder of religious enemies for centuries to come. The authoritarian and Zoroastrian, Neo-Persian empire at that time, had suddenly found itself the lone defender of religious toleration!

Within this historical period, Christian mobs led by the mad monks and bishops soon burned the great libraries of Antioch and Alexandria to the ground. Why did the Christians support the burning of libraries? The thousands of rolled scroll books stored in those centers represented the most serious threats to the power of Christianity.

Christianity’s ideological power resided, and still resides, through its own narrow definitions of the most basic terminology within human civilization. Christianity has had its own restricted definitions for the most basic of words, such as belief, justice, good, evil, grace, understanding, truth, peace, hope, compassion, virtue, life, death, light, darkness, rebirth, suffering, pain, joy and freedom. Christianity, like other religious movements on the Earth, had even taken some of its lore and legends from rival religious movements, such as the ancient legends of the Buddha.

Christianity representing the only true faith has always demanded a strict adherence to literate dogma. Although it claimed its powers through faith, Christianity has always maintained some legalistic standards. It had to do this if it wanted to survive. Christianity demands total subservience to its doctrines. There are no alternative routes to salvation.

No other religious ideology in world history developed Crusade armies of religious fanatics to murder their religious enemies full-scale, including all women and children, like they did during the sack of Jerusalem July 15, 1099. Likewise, no other religious organization developed military orders, such as the Teutonic Knights in the Baltic region or the Knights of Santiago in northern Spain, to publicly hunt and murder pagans or apostates, as both groups were active during the 15th century. No other religious ideology in world history developed religious orders, such as the Franciscans and Dominicans to publicly fight heresy, institute anti-idolatry crusades, and set up mission stations that imprisoned the savages of ‘no religion,’ which they did to the California natives during the late 1700s.

Christianity is the only world religion that constructed an efficient, legal machine to destroy and murder heretics, or any other free thinkers, contrary to the doctrines of the official faith. The institutional name was the Inquisition, which actually lasted for six hundred years, 1230-1830 A.D.

Christianity is the only religion that has sent out to the world its innumerable missionaries, or really culture destroyers, or even more so, the first non-governmental agency subversives, which enabled the larger and sinister European empires to control vast amounts of lands in the Americas, Pacific, Africa and in Asia from the 1500s until today.

The cult of Judeo-Christianity has fomented multiple wars of conquest to destroy its endless enemies across the globe, like it did in Spain during the 1930s, while it has instituted internal wars of extermination, which they did against women, labeled witches during the 16th and 17th centuries. It even forced young girls to live the rest of their lives imprisoned in convents during that same period. Finally, the churches have always instigated violence against the Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jewish ghettos that lived under their domains.

Christian monotheism represents the most extreme ideology that has repressed and mercilessly persecuted freedom fighters who dared to practice or defend the basic love-making instincts of humanity, whether auto-eroticism, homo-eroticism or any other act of eroticism outside of marriage. Behind almost every modern reactionary political movement, or movement against personal freedom, or any cult demanding some type of censorship, even bans or control of art, there exist activist-fanatics, often found in various extremist sects, while feeding within the multiple cocoons of Christianity.

Due to Judeo-Christianity’s powers and successes in fomenting wars, continually sending out missionaries and demanding the sacrifices of millions of souls, other world religions have tried to become just as militant, such as Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism.

Yet no other world religion or secular ideology can compete with the power of Christianity. This religious ideology now has the most adherents in the world. Christianity’s historical methods have explained clearly the reasons for such success.

The real agenda of Christianity has been extremism, the outrageous and imaginative creations of monsters and evil representations, continual and militant warfare, the cruelest methods of torture and violence, deep persecution-paranoia complexes, obsessions with the control of others, the ceaseless murdering of enemies, and it has been one of cultural foundations for modern Fascism.

The true hero of the passion of Christ, was not the whipped god-man hanging on the cross, but the traitor-snitch, Judas, who allowed the scriptures their ultimate fulfillment. He then repented of his sin and later hung himself all alone on that dark hill. His Passion was the Gospel Truth.

The true spiritual god of Christianity was not the mystical spirit of the Christ, but Satan, the God and Prince of this World, using whatever means necessary to rule over the souls of humanity. The Glory of Christian Civilization was the Italian Renaissance, and its Bible was Machiavelli’s, The Prince.

How did a religious ideology masking such hidden evil take over so many nations and empires across world history? Like Constantine, the roman general usurper turned emperor, the criminal state easily spotted Christianity’s power through its militant and vicious religious practices. The state loves war, and any religious ideology that embraces it tends to work fine within the power arrangement. Christianity has often molded itself to the whims of pliant states. For example, Christianity fully supported and encouraged genocidal African slavery in the Americas, and its corresponding ideological lie, the heinous lie of racialism.

But with Christianity’s heinous history, it has also breathed a double-edged sword against power. The Christian religion has also stabbed mortal wounds into crooked state apparatuses when they have least expected it.

Anarcho-historians ought to remember that Christianity was the first revolutionary organization in world civilization. The elites and the state both know this truth, and this often explains their ambivalence and secret fear of Christianity’s militant powers. Christianity can become the greatest defender of the state criminals – and yet, it can always turn completely around – and transform itself into the state authorities’ most pressing internal enemy.

World history supports this thesis. The first uncompromising abolitionists in the British West Indian colonies during the nineteenth-century were Baptist preachers. During the English Civil War of the seventeenth-century, the most radical revolutionaries were the Christian Diggers and Levellers. Frances’ most resolute and intellectual defenders of the Nation during the seventeenth-century, versus the degenerate Monarchy of Louis XIV and his palatial paradise of Versailles, were the religious movements of the Calvinists and Jansenists. The strongest political opposition against the medieval English tyrant, King Henry II, had the face of Beckett, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Catholic monarchs united in unison to destroy the Jesuit Order during the eighteenth-century. They knew that the Jesuits possessed more popular admiration fro their subjects than for the sacred monarchies.

Christianity has also spawned the great activist work of the Quakers, the revolutionaries of John Brown’s raiders against the Slavocracy in the US during the 1850s, the civil-rights agitations of Martin Luther King and other the ministers marching across the US against official segregation in the 1950s, the Northern Irish Catholics marches in the 1960s, which led to the armed campaign of the IRA. During the Franco Fascist regime in Spain, Basque activists organized themselves into a nationalist club, while they studied at a Jesuit seminary in northern Spain. This proto-nationalist movement eventually transformed into the armed struggle of ETA. Even the mass murdering Communist dictator, Josef Stalin, began his higher studies in an Orthodox Christian seminary.

The US government had to finance and train hundreds of state murderers from Latin Americans in order to murder their fellow citizens, all in order to combat Liberation Theology from the 1960s to the 1990s. This essay cannot even do justice to the number of historical times that Christianity has successfully turned on its old state supports, and then destroyed those same state and elite collaborators.

The historical lesson for us Anarchists is simple. The religious ideology of the Judeo-Christian Monotheist Cult has been a perfect representation of human absurdity lurking within our evil world.

It has more often supported reaction and mass murder, yet some of the most effective revolutionaries have burst forth from its roots, while such political activists have successfully undermined the legitimacy of the state.

Unlike our Marxist sect and Leftist-reformist mortal enemies, we Anarchists must not forsake nor reject the work of these Christianity inspired revolutionaries. Their intensity of revolutionary work knows no bounds. The Christian in revolt against both the State and the rich Elites often works alone, outside of the official, institutional churches. We don’t have to join their religious confessions, but we can encourage each other through our constant struggles against the economic elites and the criminal state.
