To Become A Great People You Have to Stop Being Matrilineal

The founding thought or action for the creation of the Athenian identity was the abolition of women having random male lovers and thus children not knowing who their father was. I'm sure women were still able to behave this way (have sex with multiple guys) after the new ethical norm was established, and I'm equally sure there was an correction to this behavior by all born without sure knowledge of who their father was were labelled a bastard and locked out of every respectable position in the society, and equally locked out of any route to wealth or fame. They were equal or just a little above a slave.

The repeated phrase in the media that religious conservatives believe "marriage is between a man and a woman" in some sort of following of a God command, and that is the only reason for marriage entirely misses the point. All great societies, some very distant from Judeo-Christian heritage ( Japanese, Chinese, Korean ) are strongly associated with patrilineal kinship.

The ungreatness of matrilineal kinship societies spans every race and every climactic zone of the planet. The Scotch-Irish immigrants of the United States (Appalachia) are noteworthy of their several hundred years of comparatively higher rates of poverty, violence, and lack of grasp of new technology. They are also known for their higher incidence of bastard children.

A society cannot micro-manage people's crafty ways in which they can find time and places to have sex with random and multiple people. What a society can do is label the people born out of such behavior (bastard), and pass over them for anything other than manual labor or cannon fodder in wars.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Actually this famous quote is less than half correct and misses the first contingent.

  1. The status, skills and character of the father of the person.
  2. The character and skills of the person.

With my commentary you the reader have a greater mental leverage in undoing in ways both small and stealthly and large and legislatively the agenda of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in it's misdistribution of status and wealth.

Start using the word bastard, and be happy they are in juvenile detention.

Selective Breeding and the Birth of Philosophy: Selected Pages of Greatness

Selective Breeding and the Birth of Philosophy (by Costin Alamariu) is a doctoral dissertation the author converted into a published book. It is such a strong, honest inquiry into the subject domain I had to share a series of pages in this blog entry. This is not a narrow topic, this is the totality of the space social justice activists dominate in. In our era social justice advocates censor intellectual discourse that illuminates a reality beyond their narrow set of conclusions. This series of pages ignores the intellectual speed limits imposed by self-righteous slow vehicles. It ignores the moral conclusions our authoritarian pop culture has imposed on us.

The research and perspective in this blog post happened after the October 7th 2023 massacre of Jewish people. The next days after the massacre I saw the Hamas uploaded videos, the most horrendous videos I've ever seen. On the same day, immediately alongside this horror, massive amounts of people marched in support of the murderers. The supporters of murdering Jews were also ardent supporters of a predictable array of extreme views. It was then I saw an alliance of total perverted depraved evil, and gave me the open mind and energy to search for a historical and philosophical counter to that evil.

Opening Commentary

Before reading the following passages from the canonical Bible and the Book of Enoch (which is often qouted in the New Testament) I want to offer a foundational thought, a postulate. The postulate itself rests on the sum of Judeo-Christian texts and reasoned interpretation.

That God created images of himself both in the firmament and on Earth. By image it is meant to have various attributes copied from God. The images that reside for the most part in the firmament are called elohim and are more powerful and knowing than the images residing on Earth. This is purely circumstantial and relative. Relative to an earthling image their counterparts off-Earth are more powerful at a very functional practical level (the ones in the sky can do more things, know more things).

All parties more powerful than terrestrial humans are called elohim, including Yahweh, the one who made all the other elohim.

Made of in the image of means those made by Yahweh have several of his attributes. An important one is free will.

If the elohim Yahweh made have free will, it is conceivable some of them might choose actions that break some great law.

It is then conceivable that this combination of free will and a disconnect between the goals of Yahweh and the lawbreakers might create a protracted war of sorts, and in that war acts by the lawbreaking elohim do harm to Yahweh's creation (mankind), and Yahweh does things to both harm, contain, and yes snuff out the lawbreaking elohim (because a continued living agent with free will with lawbreaking as a tendency is forever a threat, from a military theory point of view).

Please undo the cartoons you've seen in movies and told for centuries about a singular Devil, with horns, you going to Hell and him being your boss forever. According to the actual text this all takes place in a region, the elohim have names, they did things we can all understand. Christian church leaders from about the 4th century AD made a complete disconnect from the fairly concrete and specific series of events in Judaic theological texts, and corroborated by the texts of Mesopotamians.

Spoiler alert: the elohim simply found human women attractive, mated with them, and their offsping created created all kinds of meta level vices (metalworks for war, temple based prostitution, etc) that altered civilization for the worse. Yahweh then jails the main elohim, sends a flood to kill the offspring giants. Several giants manage to survive the flood (because the flood is just in that valley lowlands...duh), and this back and forth war goes on till Jesus.

Analogy. The United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan. To not know about World War II would make for a confusing understanding of those bombings. The resurrection of Jesus is the nuclear bomb dropped on those particular lawbreaking elohim.


Genesis Chapter 6 verses 1-6

[ Link to Full Scripture ].

[ Giants ]

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men..."

Psalms Chapter 82

  [ Link to Full Scripture ].
"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods."
Elohim(singular) standeth in the congregation of the Elohim(plural); he judgeth among the Elohim(plural).

Enoch Chapter 6

  1. And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters.
  2. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.'
  3. And Semjâzâ, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.'
  4. And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.'
  5. Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.
  6. And they were in all two hundred; who descended ⌈in the days⌉ of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.
  7. [ The names of the Elohim that would do Evil ]

    And these are the names of their leaders: Sêmîazâz, their leader, Arâkîba, Râmêêl, Kôkabîêl, Tâmîêl, Râmîêl, Dânêl, Êzêqêêl, Barâqîjâl, Asâêl, Armârôs, Batârêl, Anânêl, Zaqîêl, Samsâpêêl, Satarêl, Tûrêl, Jômjâêl, Sariêl.
  8. These are their chiefs of tens.

Enoch Chapter 7

  1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.
  2. [ Giants ]

    And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells:
  3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them,
  4. [ Giants ]

    the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood.
  5. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

Enoch Chapter 8

  1. [ Fallen Elohim teach the means for destruction and sin to mankind ]

    And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and breastplates, and made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them, and bracelets, and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.
  2. And there arose much godlessness, and they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways. Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of enchantments, Barâqîjâl, (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the constellations, Ezêqêêl the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the signs of the sun〉, and Sariêl the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven . . .

Enoch Chapter 9

  1. [ Members of council that remain good Elohim ]

    And then Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel looked down from heaven and saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all lawlessness being wrought upon the earth.
  2. And they said one to another: 'The earth made †without inhabitant cries the voice of their crying† up to the gates of heaven.
  3. ⌈⌈And now to you, the holy ones of heaven⌉⌉, the souls of men make their suit, saying, "Bring our cause before the Most High.".'
  4. And they said to the Lord of the ages: 'Lord of lords, God of gods, King of kings, 〈and God of the ages〉, the throne of Thy glory (standeth) unto all the generations of the ages, and Thy name holy and glorious and blessed unto all the ages!
  5. Thou hast made all things, and power over all things hast Thou: and all things are naked and open in Thy sight, and Thou seest all things, and nothing can hide itself from Thee.
  6. Thou seest what Azâzêl hath done, who hath taught all unrighteousness on earth and revealed the eternal secrets which were (preserved) in heaven, which men were striving to learn:
  7. And Semjâzâ, to whom Thou hast given authority to bear rule over his associates.
  8. And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins.
  9. [ Giants ]

    And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness.
  10. And now, behold, the souls of those who have died are crying and making their suit to the gates of heaven, and their lamentations have ascended: and cannot cease because of the lawless deeds which are wrought on the earth.
  11. And Thou knowest all things before they come to pass, and Thou seest these things and Thou dost suffer them, and Thou dost not say to us what we are to do to them in regard to these.

Enoch Chapter 10

  1. Then said the Most High, the Holy and Great One spake, and sent Uriel to the son of Lamech, and said to him:
  2. '〈Go to Noah〉 and tell him in my name "Hide thyself!" and reveal to him the end that is approaching: that the whole earth will be destroyed, and a deluge is about to come upon the whole earth, and will destroy all that is on it.
  3. And now instruct him that he may escape and his seed may be preserved for all the generations of the world.'
  4. And again the Lord said to Raphael: 'Bind Azâzêl hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dûdâêl, and cast him therein.
  5. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light.
  6. [ origins of Hell and Hell Fire ]

    And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons.
  7. And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azâzêl: to him ascribe all sin.'
  8. [ order from God to have offspring Giants destroy each other in wars ]

    And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have.
  9. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.'
  10. And the Lord said unto Michael: 'Go, bind Semjâzâ and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness.
  11. And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated.
  12. [ origins of Hell and Hell Fire ]

    In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: 〈and〉 to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations.
  13. And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: ⌈and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth⌉ shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.
  14. And then shall all the righteous escape, And shall live till they beget thousands of children, And all the days of their youth and their old age Shall they complete in peace.
  15. And then shall the whole earth be tilled in righteousness, and shall all be planted with trees and be full of blessing.
  16. And all desirable trees shall be planted on it, and they shall plant vines on it: and the vine which they plant thereon shall yield wine in abundance, and as for all the seed which is sown thereon each measure (of it) shall bear a thousand, and each measure of olives shall yield ten presses of oil.
  17. And cleanse thou the earth from all oppression, and from all unrighteousness, and from all sin, and from all godlessness: and all the uncleanness that is wrought upon the earth destroy from off the earth.
  18. And all the children of men shall become righteous⌉, and all nations shall offer adoration and shall praise Me, and all shall worship Me. And the earth shall be cleansed from all defilement, and from all sin, and from all punishment, and from all torment, and I will never again send (them) upon it from generation to generation and for ever.

Reversing Hermon

Most of my understanding of Enoch and The Watchers comes this book: Reversing Hermon: Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ -by Michael S Heiser (Amazon). I cannot recommend this book enough. There is also a large amount of lecture material from Michael S Heiser on Youtube. Search: Reversing Hermon (Youtube).

I characterize Heiser as a slayer of erroneous sacred cows. He doesn't protect a single brand of theology, choosing to adhere to what the ancient text actually says and what the cultural context was for those times. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and a stellar and tireless researcher. His works openly quote other promimnent linguists and cultural specialists, and he does an amazing job synthesizing various fields of study into a coherent and clearer understanding of the Bible and Jesus.


Rough Draft Section

Sorry for the mess. This section has notes to myself lending to extending this blog post and research.

The Place Where Humanity First Went Beyond Chalcolithic

The first smelting furnace operation. This is as major a transition as first landing on another celestial body.

For contrast with the New World, ore smelting was a small distribution both in space and time. Metallurgy in pre-Columbian America.


The Birth Legend of Sargon

Sargon, great king, king of Akkade, am I:
~~my mother was a high priestess, my father I knew not.
My father's family dwells in the uplands;
~~my city was Azupiranu, which lies on the bank of the Euphrates.
My mother the high priestess conceived me, bore me in secret,
~~in a reed basket she placed me, sealed my lid with bitumen.
She set me down on the river, whence I could not ascend;
~~the river bore me up, brought me to the irrigator Aqqi.
The irrigator Aqqi lifted me up as he dipped his pail,
~~the irrigator Aqqi brought me up as his adopted son.
The irrigator Aqqi set me to work in a date-grove,
~~during my work in the date-grove the goddess Ishtar loved me.
[Fifty]-four years I exercised kingship,
~~ruled and governed the black-headed folk.
I cut [through] mighty mountains with picks of copper,
~~many times I ascended the upper mountains.
Many times I traversed the lower mountains,
~~three times I circumnavigated the entire ocean.

A Possible Insertion of Baal into the role of God in Christianity

I've discovered something possibly very important: the moment Baal replaced God in Christian theology and worship.

Personally I don't think of it as a real spirit or diety called Baal doing anything. I mean the mindset of the worshippers of Baal in pre-Roman Canaan. As I explain in When Hebrews Diverged from Canaanite Child Sacrifice near all Canaanites believed in a weather god which was harsh and needed appeasing with child sacrifice. He was a hateful God, that might deny the blessing of good weather (for water supply) if the population didn't give up some of it's children. I have two links below to subsection content of same blog entry pertaining to this. I believe the evil is in the belief and the believers. It is first of all murderous, and secondly it seems to spawn several kinds of socially sanctioned perversities.

  1. When Hebrews Diverged from Canaanite Child Sacrifice : When God Stopped The Sacrifice of Isaac - The Bible
  2. When Hebrews Diverged from Canaanite Child Sacrifice : Closing Remarks

Please watch the first three minutes of the following video. Here is the essential idea that is so important:

While ancient philosophy disagreed on many things, there was broad agreement that the gods were good and the universe a beautiful, divinely made home. However, by the 2nd century CE a scandalous, renegade position emerged that argued that physical reality was created as a cosmic prison by a demonic Crafter - The Demiurge. Variously known as Ialdabaoth, Samael and Saklas, the malevolent Demiurge was one of the core components of what we know call "Gnosticism." But how did this shift happen, how did the Demiurge become evil. In this first episode in a series on the Demiurge, we explore the earliest movement in this direction: (1) the origins of the Demiurge in Plato and (2) How the Israelite god Yahweh came to be demonized and associated with the Egyptian demonic deity Seth in the anti-Judaic polemics of the ancient world.

What if this new wave of theological/philosophical fashion was a literal insertion of the very mindset God had fought to purge from his people, and really, from the world? The Romans had just purged Phoenician cultural practices from the Mediterranean. All the cosmologies of every Pagan, Judaic and Christian sect were saying the Universe was an optimal good place for humanity. Then along comes this new fashion of thinking that saw an angry maker and hostile environment for humankind. I think there is a Baal in there somewhere, and I think this poison nurtured and created the eventual Catholic Church.

In the time of this blog post, the Catholic Church's Pope is on the side of Palestinians, and has promoted a steady stream of Marxist and Leftist values since assuming the role of pontiff. Beyond just this pontiff, South American Catholicism has generated much of intellectual/ethical bedrock for liberation theology, which is a Hitleresque hatred for wealthy people recycled into Jesus packaging. Since October 7th these forces and others all aligned very overtly and loudly proclaimed their overlap or outright alliance with murdering Palestinians. Evil is proudly flying it's flag. Watch the video for a hint to when it snuck into Christianity. Remarks on October 7th 2023

When Hebrews Diverged from Canaanite Child Sacrifice | When Jesus Visited Sidon and Tyre He Heard of the Old Trade in New World

Child Sacrifice


Child Sacrifice - General All Cultures

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sacrifice
    • The practice of child sacrifice among Canaanite groups is attested by numerous sources spanning over a millennium.
    • Rabbi A.I. Kook, first Chief Rabbi of Israel, stressed that the climax of the story, commanding Abraham not to sacrifice Isaac, is the whole point: to put an end to, and God's total aversion to the ritual of child sacrifice. According to Irving Greenberg the story of the binding of Isaac, symbolizes the prohibition to worship God by human sacrifices, at a time when human sacrifices were the norm.

Child Sacrifice - Phoenician Section

  • Ancient Carthaginians really did sacrifice their children -University of Oxford News
    • What we are saying now is that the archaeological, literary, and documentary evidence for child sacrifice is overwhelming.
    • If we accept that child sacrifice happened on some scale, it begins to explain why the colony was founded in the first place. Perhaps the reason the people who established Carthage and its neighbours left their original home of Phoenicia was because others there disapproved of their unusual religious practice.
  • Carthage tophet
    • ...feature of the site is its dual function: votive (stelae dedicated to Ba'al Hammon or Tanit) and funerary (funerary stelae).
  • Homesick Phoenicians Imported Plants, Animals to New Sicilian Island Home 3,000 Years Ago
    • ...the island is littered with votive offerings and burials of sacrificed humans. In the Tophet alone (the sanctuary devoted to burying the incinerated remains of children, apparently sacrificed) .. more than 2,000 urns and stelas were found.

Child Sacrifice - New World Section

  • Human sacrifice in pre-Columbian cultures -Wikipedia
    • ...infant sacrifice would occur to satisfy supernatural beings who would have eaten the souls of more powerful people.

    • ...if sacrifices were not given ... the rain would not come and their crops would not grow.

    • the largest single example of mass child sacrifice [ in world history ] ... identified at least 227 individuals as sacrificial victims ... to appease deities who were supposedly bringing extreme rainfall weather conditions.

    Extraction and reduction to these motivations:
    1. rain to come ... crops to grow
      WEATHER
    2. prevent extreme rainfall weather conditions
      WEATHER
    3. supernatural beings who would have eaten more powerful people
      PROTECTING MORE POWERFUL PEOPLE

Child Sacrifice - The Bible


  • "Children Fire" Search in Bible
    • [ Jeremiah 19:5 ] They have built the high places of Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind.
    • [ 2 Chronicles 28:3 ] He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and sacrificed his children in the fire, engaging in the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.
  • "Baal" Search in Bible

When God Stopped The Sacrifice of Isaac - The Bible

  • Genesis Chapter 22 -Bible
    • Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

      “Here I am,” he replied.

      “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”

  • Contrast this with "The practice of child sacrifice among Canaanite groups is attested by numerous sources spanning over a millennium". At this moment there was a new way that had been forged. A distinctive group with distinctive values separate from their general Canaanites/Semitic race. It was not a new race, but a new relationship with diety and within their own families and society. God stopping the sacrifice was a revolution.

But Why?

Time for a short intermission from all these references to history, archeology, and religious texts. We need to ground ourselves in some common sense about this long history.

Why would these people -all of them are Semitic and living in the land of Canaan- why would any of them placate a diety with child sacrifice?

In Egypt and Mesopotamia the cultures are centered around and dependant on irrigation. Their dieties are about those dependencies. Once the people left Egypt and Mesopotamia and forged out into the areas without irrigation, they depended more on rain. And rain deities.

It all starts with a rain dependent region, and a people afraid of drought that would mean extinction of at least their family if not the whole local population. It begins in people's innerselves living in fear, and wanting to placate what they perceive as a mean and angry weather god. It grows into an inertia of tradition, pageantry of rituals, and... a culture. A very hard habit to kick.

The essence of this blog post is to present an arc of the Bible as a less-than-that-mean God trying to make a people kick this horrendous habit.

Jesus visits Tyre

In the travels and ministry of Jesus there is an account of his visit to the famous Phoenician city of Tyre. It is the only time during his ministry years when he is not in Israel, and thoroughly in a city of Gentiles (people outside of the then Hebrew concept of the chosen people). Near every Bible lesson on this account emphasizes this is the moment Jesus demonstrates to his disciples that his blessings can be given to the Gentiles. It is seen by most as a major leap in who can be God's people.

I want to emphasize something else. Keep in mind the history of child sacrifice peculiar to Canaanites from that divergent moment when Abraham didn't sacrifice, the division between Baal worshipping (child sacrifice) Canaanites of Phoenicia and God of Moses Canaanites that we call Hebrews. Also keep in mind Tyre as one of the most important cities of the ancient Levant, a port of world trade, a fundamental center of Phoenician culture [ Part One of this blog entry ]. With all that let's see the NIV version of Mark 15 verses 21-28 for the Biblical account of Jesus in Tyre talking to a Phoenician woman.

Mark 15 verses 21-28

  • Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
  • Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
  • He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
  • The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
  • He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
  • “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
  • Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Let's extract some elements out of the account.

  1. Tyre: Major Port City of Phoenician World Trade

  2. Dogs

  3. Daughter...that is sick in a cultural history of child sacrifice.

Dogs. All that I can find on Hebrews and Phoenicians of that time lends towards Jews not owning dogs and Phoenicians did. [ Judaism and Dogs ]. I welcome your researching this to infinity, but here is what I see.

The Canaanites divided into child sacrificing dog owning Phoenicians, and non-child-sacrificing no-dog owning Jews. Think of families and availability of food. One culture has families that proiritized feeding their children very much first. Another preferred the prestige or whatever other motivations of dog ownership while there was less emotional attachment to children, who were sacrificed.

The dialog between the Phoenician woman and Jesus, the reference to dogs has several miles of depth. She declares a break from her cultural past by saying food should be for children first. In showing this, she is showing that there are Phoenicians who have progressed in their inner values and broken with their historical legacy beliefs and more importantly lived priorities.

There are aspects of Baal worship connected to canines, and to the Biblical story of Jezebel. See: [ Baal, Dogs and Jezebel ]

Jesus saw that these Phoenicians of Tyre are no longer a kind of people that would child sacrifice.

Tack on to this the more obvious valuing of the Phoencian woman's daughter. The forefront of the whole scene is her love of her daughter and wanting her daughter to survive some mental/physical travesty and become well, and live.

In every way this is Jesus evaluating people who have a history of child sacrifice, and through elements of the conversation and the whole context can see that at least this one, and by extension the norms of her the locals she socially belongs to, are no longer the monsters they once were.

Jesus Hears of the Phoenician Diaspora

While in Tyre, Jesus likely heared the locals speak of their glory days before the Greeks and Romans decimated their seafaring dominance. Back in the days of them actually being the masters of far flung seafaring and world trade, keeping sea routes secret was a primary facet of Phoenician living, if the word got out to the powerful of Persia, Greece or Rome their monopoly would be over.

Like any small town that was once a major economic player and glorious center of culture, the contemporary populace after the glory years will brag more than when the town was actually important. That is the deluge of sentimental storytelling the locals of Tyre probably foisted on every guest that came to their houses.

Jesus heard the stories of the glory years, and of the far flung places the Phoenicians, as humble local fishermen and artisans, could now tell.

Jesus heard of the New World, and the Canaanite diaspora still there.

And Jesus could have had these thoughts -are they continuing the practice of child sacrifice? of the worship of an angry God that must be appeased by misery?

Jesus went to Tyre -and saw to his satisfation- that the people had changed. Now he needed to complete his investigation, and prosecution, of any remaining child sacrificing amongst the Canaanites, even if the Canaanite cultures where established in a far away land.

What happens next? Here is what happens next. In Central and South America the Semitic diaspora are leaning into child sacrifice even harder, and Jesus visits, sees this, and destroys them with volcanic eruptions, as told in scripture here: Nephi CHAPTER 28

Archeologists with no association with scriptural or religious belief have documented with puzzlement a sudden change across Central and South America after a series of volcanic eruptions decimated urban life around 2000 years ago. The change was the cessation of religious objects and figurines most often placed in homes or in places of ritual. It doesn't start in one are to diffuse outward as a new norm. It has widespread adoption nearly all at once. That is what archeologists all agree on.

Here is how scripture describes the cessation of worshipping the child sacrificing deities: 4 Nephi CHAPTER 1

Closing Remarks

So I close with an emphasis: God differentiated himself from false gods by going on a mutiple millennia witchhunt for child sacrificing societies. He declared himself in one very sharp moment with Abraham. The witchhunt for this mental and cultural evil expanded to all of Canaan. Since the Canaanites were the first global seafaring traders the witchhunt for evil went to the Canaanite diaspora in the New World as well.

It is the story of God's witchhunt for evil, and his victories. And this story is still developing. Let us be clearer in seeing this past, so that we can see ourselves and the future as it unfolds on us. Be able to see evil, it really isn't that hard. But victory over it is complex, and only God seems to know how to do that.

The research and perspective in this blog post happened after the October 7th 2023 massacre of Jewish people. The next days after the massacre I saw the Hamas uploaded videos, the most horrendous videos I've ever seen. On the same day, immediately alongside this horror, massive amounts of people marched in support of the murderers. The supporters of murdering Jews were also ardent supporters of a predictable array of extreme views. It was then I saw an alliance of total perverted depraved evil, and gave me the open mind and energy to search for a historical and philosophical counter to that evil.

Throughout this post Canaanite = Phoenician. Greeks called them Phoenicians, Hebrews called the same Canaanites.

I present several heresies in this post.

Heresy List:

  1. (To Atheists) The Bible account of Hebrew history, and Jesus's life and significance becomes more plausible the more one knows of ancient Semitic peoples (Canaanites and Hebrews) in the Azores, Brazil, the Amazon and the Andes of Peru.


  2. (To Atheists and Christians) There is abounding evidence of Phoenican(Canaanite) presence/trade/influence/settlement in the New World -especially Brazil, the Amazon river terminating in the Andes of Peru.



  3. (To Atheists, Christians that deny Book of Mormon) Accepting the Phoenician New World proposition, the presence of Canaanite allied Hebrews on some voyages and settlement in the New World is plausible.



  4. (To Atheists, Christians that deny Book of Mormon, and to Mormons who do not see the strong binding of Phoenicians) The interwining dynamics of Canaanites and Hebrews in both the Old and New Testament provides illumination on core facets of the faith itself and Hebrews in the New World.

Phoenicians

The Phoenicans were the preminent seafaring explorers and traders of the Middle East/Mediterranean for most of the 1st millennium BC before being eliminated by Alexander the Great in his siege of Tyre and then Rome's final and total annihilation of Carthage in 146 BC. Phoenicia was never an empire like the Assyrians, Persians, or Romans. It did not do conquests. It did trade, it did seafaring, and did the importing of goods exotic to the people of the ancient Middle East. If you were wealthy, which was almost solely aristocrats, you bought the luxury clothes and other things that show power from no one else but the Phoenicians.

Lebanon cedar is the how and why of this unique capability of the Phoenicians. Unique to the mountains of northern Canaan, this wood is what made transoceanic travel possible.

Few in the Middle East knew where these exotic things came from. It was a trade secret the Phoenicians carefully guarded, especially from emerging seafarers such as the Greeks and the Romans.

Everything written so far in this document is widely and long accepted as historical fact. Where I go after this point is not universally accepted, and I assume not wholly endorsed or accepted in academia circa 2024. I am not going to present magical thinking, humans transported by mystical means, or anything less than what is in the scope of normal and global human endeavors of trade, seafaring, and resettlement. 

We live in an era of extremely clear pictures of cultures that left no written record. Through a complex weave of DNA, artifact analysis, knowledge of exact points of origin for those artifacts, along with our precise data on climate and geology for every decade going back 10s of thousands of years - we know what people did without knowing their names or exactly how they looked. It is all forensic and conjectural. Conjectural is less than the proofs we have of activity of the Romans, Greeks, Persians or Chinese, because all those societies literally ran via a clerical bureacratic accountant class. To claim we live in uncertainty about all history outside of that over-documented paradigm should be a claim we question.  

We have amazingly clear understandings of Yamnaya culture- they domesticated the horse (a very aggressive animal that solely existed on the glacial edge), invented the wheel which they used on wagons for mobile living with their herds, ancestor worship via animal sacrifices and feasts, the first instance of hoarding wealth within a family rather than communal sharing, and these cultural practices quickly spread across races going into northern India and the Zhou dynasty of China. (Yamnaya-centric Russian Steppes-centric diffusionism for those cultural traits) 

It is in the spirit of how we know about the Yamnaya and imagine their lives that I would like the reader to consider and more deeply study Semitic(Canaanite/Hebrew) presence in the New World.

A counter statement to the above license and enthusiasm. Let us not want a history so much that we embrace and cling to what truly did not happen. It would be a good thing to shake incorrect histories out of accepted dogma. It is not a good thing to cling to the bizarre and exotic conjecture purely because that very bizarreness appeals to our personality and personal preferences. Proceed with caution with conjectures, acknowledging at every contemplation the difference between plausible, hard proof, and impossible without some form of magical intervention.

Personally, I operate with an attachment to trade as a fundamental need for humans, and trade itself has self-amplifying dynamics that strengthens its established channels and encourages finding more. Where there is less trade or no trade, that population falls back on the subsistence of gathering local food and reproduction. This is the most unsustainable form of human. The ideal of isolated subsistence as widespread (especially in pre-colonial America and Pacific islands), a default and a right is a perversity that has spread in popular culture. Consider anyone promoting this a liability.


Phoenicians in Azores, Brazil, Amazon River, Peru and Mesoamerica. —a list of sources

phoenician ships on the amazon river
Phoenician ships on the Amazon River: (ai generated)


Below is a list of books, videos and webpages with supporting information for a Semitic presence in the New World. Some of them are major, exhaustive bodies of research and others offer a little of this and that. I wanted the readers of my blog entry to have an open ended plunge into the subject and access to other's perspective.

That said, I want to present in short what initiated my acceptance of the Phoenicians in New World theory. The initial spark was the man on a horse statue the first Portuguese voyage discovered in the Azores. Right away, I thought the Azores are adjacent (further out to sea) to the accepted sea route the Phoenicians had to use for the long accepted Britian to Canaan trade. Then a little into that research I learned seafaring requires going out to deep sea then catching winds or current driving back to shore, that one does not operate near shore in a long traverse. These maritime factors make Phoenician contact with the Azores more likely than not. To restate that, it is highly unlikely the Phoenicians could have never discovered the Azores. The Azores angle was the spark that got my attention, what came next is the larger bang that convinced me. The Phoenicians certainly went down the northwest coast of Africa. It is there that a wind and ocean current provides ships easy and sure conveyance to Brazil [link] .

It is this Azores and Morocco to Brazil seafaring information that suddenly shifted my historical worldview dramatically. Suddenly, Phoenicians not having contact and not having trade with the New World became very hard to believe.

    This 746 page book is one researcher's life quest of finding evidence that supports the accounts in the Book of Mormon. Chapter 9 Transoceanic Voyages, Chapter 16 Material Culture are my suggestions as essential reads especially related to Canaanite links to the New World. This might be considered the book on this subject, but I want to emphasize there is a lot more evidence for Phoenician links to the New World than the author of Mormon Codex has compiled. I am simply saying there is even more to be discovered than this large compilation of data has to offer. Every LDS should own and read this, and everyone that finds the whole concept of the Book of Mormon absurd should read this book.

The Soros Evil: Helping Groups Outside Ones Family

 "When asked why his father fights for an open society, Alex Soros replied that in a non-Jewish state, a Jew can only feel safe when other minorities are protected, which is one of the most important driving forces why his father has been active in his philanthropy."

Believing a group can only feel safe IF they are helping other groups is a perverted idea. It is a veiled threat to the safety of people who practice the following form of fundamental good:

Good defined: Families form as a heterosexual couple intent on having their own children (genetic offspring, not adoption). This family functions with a primary directive of their wealth being generated purely for the betterment of their own offspring, and for their future generations.

I've noticed the following groups largely practicing the above: East Asians, Jews, and Republicans. 

I've noticed historic and contemporary groups hating this form of good. Nazi propaganda practically described Jews within my definition of good, and called it an evil worthy of extermination. 

Contemporary Leftists confront this good from several fronts -heterosexuals with pure offspring are replaced with LGBTQ with adoptees as a wholesome norm. Then they battle on the economic side by taxes that extract wealth from good families and redistribute to other families and other children. 

Returning to the definition of "good" stated above. The wider society is one in which everyone and every institution is support staff for the heterosexual capital hoarding family. 

The definition of evil is any individual, agenda or institution that works against the heterosexual capital hoarding family.

Hatred of moneylender and merchant class is the root evil of Hitler, Nazism and Fascists

An international reaction of performative outrage came about after comments made by Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas [ Palestinian Authority leader caused outrage after talking about Hitler and European Jews in a speech to his Fatah party ]. The core issue was calling Jews moneylenders, and the outrage was basically that moneylenders is a negative stereotype and it is wrong to label Jews as moneylenders.

Every bit of dialog on this I've read misses the most central main point of all main points.

Labeling moneylenders and market speculator merchantilists with a negative frame of reference is the specific wrong of Hitler, Nazism and Fascism

Speaking from the perspective of a US resident, I've seen our culture descend into an open hatred for banking, finance and mercantilist classes for several years now. On a pop culture level the shameless murderous impulse to kill that class was prominently displayed in the script of The Joker, when the main character kills a group of "Wall Street Guys" and later proudly confesses to it on national television.

In the US and maybe in the West in general, we are living in a time in which people who call the police on a car prowler are called fascists, and wanting law and order is labeled white supremacy and linked to Hitler's vision. This is all the thoughts and sentiments of a kind of social activist that ironically are the genuine Nazi brownshirts if they hate the market speculation classes. Which in all my personal social networks is the case, the very ones with unoriginal social justice stances do generally hate the market speculation classes.

This is not even remotely OK.

When my (ex) friends became NPC bots serving the Woke Orthodoxy

NPC

  • In video games, an NPC is a non-playable character.
  • In slang terms, an NPC is someone who doesn’t think for themselves or behaves very predictably.
  • If someone is acting like an NPC in real life, they might repeat the opinions of others or be very predictable in conversations.

Pearl Davis - Subverting the Dominant Paradigm

Pearl Davis is possibly the greatest agent of subversion and system disruption of the early 21st century. Pearl believes women should not be allowed to vote, women are not equal and divorce should be illegal.

Pearl and a few other female iconoclasts are strongly communicating:

  • Good women should not be allies of bad women.
  • Women who are not monogamous are bad women.
  • Women with double standards are bad women.
  • Good men should not treat bad women good.
  • The male gaze (at beautiful or sexy women) is natural and OK.
  • All discussion is on heterosexual issues, homosexual perspective and existence isn't a concern.

How do Orthodoxy Serving Media entities generate Values Sermons out of non-stories?

How do Orthodoxy Serving Media Entities generate Values Sermons out of a non-story?

Step 1) Individuals serving as watchdogs in social justice or environmental agenda groups obsessively watch in tiny corners of whatever, in this case city permits for tree felling, for an act they consider a breach of their extremist values.

Step 2) Their political activist organization, or informal network of allies, email a likeminded friend who is a journalist in a orthodoxy serving media entity.

Step 3) That journalist goes to their editor and presents the tiny event, and the editor decides if the story is inflatable from tiny non-story to a possibly viral values statement.

Step 4) The published values sermon reaches other like minded values extremists across the nation and world. 

Key point with the above is a niche and very miniscule amount of people leveraged their values into appearing demographically larger, this is a minority and extremist view presenting itself purely in a light of virtue and a normalized set of values.

"Tree advocates[ extremist watchdogs ], already concerned about the city’s dwindling tree canopy, spotted the permit to fell the giant evergreen, and activated their network[ contacted their likeminded journalist friend at orthodoxy serving media ]."

The Non-Story Inflated Values Sermon:

https://www.kuow.org/stories/the-cedar-tree-named-luma-who-has-transfixed-seattle

ORTHODOX, (from Greek orthodoxos, “of the right opinion”), true doctrine and its adherents as opposed to heterodox or heretical doctrines and their adherents. The word was first used in early 4th-century Christianity by the Greek Fathers.

US Supreme Court Defends Dissent and Struck Down Compelled Speech

Amazon Author Page : Lance Miller


Reference:
Colorado Can't Force a Graphic Designer To Create Same-Sex Wedding Websites, Supreme Court Rules - Reason.com

Below are key points in the reference.

In 2021 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit … recognized that "Colorado's 'very purpose' in seeking to apply its law to Ms. Smith" was to stamp out dissenting ideas about marriage. [ Despite this admission ] the 10th Circuit held that the state government was within its authority to compel her to create such websites against her will.

The majority did decide Smith's case by appealing to free-expression precedents rather than religious-liberty ones. In other words, the justices didn't say that the faith-based nature of Smith's beliefs about marriage entitled her to an exemption. Presumably, a secular person with moral or factual objections to expressing a particular message would receive all the same protections as a Christian or Muslim objecting on religious grounds. As it should be.

First, I celebrate the Supreme Court's crushing Colorado state law that was designed to stamp out dissenting ideas about marriage. Secondly, I want to celebrate the Supreme Court's nuanced ruling stood against government law designed to stamp out expressing views that run counter to a particular message.

Extrapolating further than the scope of the Supreme Court decision, it gives us the phrases to articulate what is wrong, and what to make happen.

Here is the demand: Pride messaging in the form of anything from large city parades to K-12 school events to corporate employee events cannot have one molecule of coercion or compelled participation.

Demanding a uniform message for a city, for a school, for a company or any other social forum on issues of sexual preference or gender identity is a totalitarian demand. The demand of "love and acceptance" is Orwellian 1984 doublespeak with hate and unacceptance for anyone that doesn't comply. Our rights and freedoms come from laws. The LGBTQ community have all those rights in the US. Demanding "love and acceptance" is a hateful brownshirt march through the streets to find anyone who personally considers non-heterosexuals perverts.

People considering those who are gay or cross-dressers to be perverts is something the Pride Flag agenda very much wants to entirely forever sweep away.

So if you are heterosexual, and have the opinion, a great service you could provide to the maintenance of freedom in your society is to occasionally say people who are gay or cross-dressers are perverts.

The Misleading Rhetoric of Extrapolating on Special Relativity

Amazon Author Page : Lance Miller


I am not arguing or denying in any way Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Rather, I have a critique and caveat on certain ways of interpreting it's meaning into our lives.

In the referenced video below physicist Sabine Hossenfelder uses a thought experiment to illustrate the relativism of various points of phenomenon in relation to two observers. (embedded video starts exactly at this subsection).

The clever omission here is what I will call biological functionalism(really could be called biological agency). The word functional really gets at the core of this more than agency.

Back to the train scenario. Sure the train and train lights are not experienced at the same time due to light traveling different distances to different viewers in the Universe. My point of disagreement on the rhetoric is the existence of a functionalism in the biological beings watching the train and the lights.

The gaps in (micro) time of the lights are within the thresholds of time in order to pull off a functional relationship to the train, and for the biological observer to potentially gain what they want for pleasure or survival.

A dog watching the arrival of the train knows from previous experiences when the lights do a certain thing and the train slows it is preparing to stop at the station the dog is sitting at. The dog knows it's favorite human leaves for days and returns on this train. It perceives the lights and sounds of the train slowing well enough to react functionally.

Back to the rhetoric in the video. This claim of meaninglessness, or the other claim of entirely different realities depending on the position of the observers, is dubious. This is not how biological beings experience the Universe, it is how atoms experience the Universe. And it is not an illusion the biological beings have conjured up as if in an opiate-driven dream. Biological agents very effectively intervene in the atomic chaos of the Universe -they move things around, they shape things. Regardless of lack of precision through the lens of physics, biological agents effective intervene in the atomic chaos and move the atoms, placing them where the biological entity wanted them, for a duration of time functionally relevant to biology.

We could extend this biological agency up to cultural/social unit agency -with clans, cities, corporations, and nations deciding where to dig up rocks and where to put them after grinding or melting them.

The rhetoric of relativity accuses us of seeing illusions, patterns and meaning where there isn't any. There is something very wrong in this claim. It is to talk as if the atoms and physics of the Universe are the final, wise, non-illusion perception of reality. The rhetoric suspiciously leaves out biological functionalism, and by extension cultural technological functionalism.

The illusion, the lie, is actually in the rhetoric.

...and there is a logical link between this rhetoric of illusion and meaninglessness as a grounding orientation in academic promotion of post-modernism to fresh waves of young adults in college.
