An Easter Message: On the Coming Resurrection of the Civilisations that the West Buried in the Jungle of its Soul

With thanks to Batiushka, the author

Europe is a garden. We have built a garden. Everything works. It is the best combination of political freedom, economic prosperity and social cohesion that humankind has been able to build – the three things together….Most of the rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden.

Josep Borrell, Head of EU Foreign Policy, 17 October 2022

The Western Self-Myth

The classic propaganda exceptionalist myth of the Western world was fully exposed by the inherently racist, unelected bureaucrat Borrell above. It was invented to justify the Western world’s genocides, land grabs and asset strippings, claiming that all Civilisations, apart from its own, in time or space, in history or geography, are ‘backward’ and ‘primitive’. For example, of the racist-named ‘Stone Age’ and ‘Bronze Age’: They made Ziggurats, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, elaborate bronze brooches and gold torques. Oh yes, those brown men were so primitive, they were not like us advanced Western people; they built the Great Wall of China, invented papermaking, the compass, gunpowder and printing. Oh yes, those yellow men are so primitive, let’s poison millions of them with opium, as they are little more than animals, they are not like us advanced Western people; as for Aztecs, Maya and Inca, why their pyramids and Macchu Picchus and calendars are so primitive. They are not like us advanced Western people. Let’s wipe them out by enslaving them and using them to mine silver until they die out.

And the native peoples of North America with their immeasurably gigantic Mississippi Pyramids, condescendingly called ‘Mounds’ by the forked tongues of white men, Africans with their advanced Zimbabwean, gold-rich Benin and book-rich Islamic Civilisations, and Aborigenes with their music and art and Polynesians with their ‘Easter Island’ statues? Oh yes, they are so primitive, they are not like us advanced Western people, let’s shoot them like vermin. Then we can take our ‘Civilisation’ to them. And that is what the Germans did in South-West Africa, the French in Algeria, the Belgians in the Congo, the Portuguese in Angola, the Italians in Ethiopia and the British everywhere. And the ones who built Saint Petersburg? Oh yes, those nasty Russkies are so primitive, they are not like us Western people, let’s finance Napoleon and the Nazis to exterminate them. After all, the Nazis are Western. Lots of good Anglo-Saxon blood there. In the 1940s the Germans only did in Central and Eastern Europe what the other Western European countries did in the Global South, with concentration camps in the Philippines, Cuba and South Africa. For Nazism is the universal sign of Western ‘Civilisation’, as we can see very clearly with the Nazi Kiev regime in the Ukraine today. Let us take just one more example – the Amazonian.

Amazonian Civilisation

Before the Spanish and Portuguese invaders conquered what came to be called ‘Brazil’ (probably from the Irish Gaelic for ‘The Great Island’), it was: ‘inhabited by sparse groups of very primitive, hunter-gatherer, nomadic tribes who clustered around the Amazon, leaving the surrounding rain forest jungles pristine and untouched’. Just another classic propaganda myth of the Western world, propagated by its paid ‘scholars’, invented, as usual, to justify its genocide. The reality was a very different story. In fact, Amazonian Civilisation was made up of towns, rain forest villages, earthworks and a teeming population – there was no jungle. A 16th-century account of large, interconnected towns and villages totally disproves the later myth, ‘There was nothing there anyway’, used to justify its destruction. Many parts of the Americas presented as pristine forest were really abandoned gardens. How do we know this, apart from through modern geophysical technology and visibility resulting from deforestation?

From that account of Gaspar de Carvajal.

Gaspar de Carvajal (c. 1500–1584) was a Spanish missionary, known for chronicling explorations of the Amazon. In 1533 he set out from Spain for Peru and in 1540 joined an expedition to what became the Amazon jungle. This came about when the ‘conquistador’ Pizarro ordered his second-in-command, Orellana, to follow the Napo River with fifty men in order to find its mouth. Orellana reached the confluence of the Napo and Trinidad, but unable to return because of the current, he had to continue to follow the river until in 1542 he reached the mouth of the Amazon. Carvajal, one of the survivors of the expedition, narrated the events in his work, ‘An account of the recent discovery of the famous great river which was discovered by great good fortune by Captain Francisco de Orellana’. In it, Carvajal recorded the dates of the expedition, as well as leaving a large number of notes on the sizes and dispositions of the peoples who lived on the banks of the river, their tactics of war, rituals, customs, utensils etc. You could almost think that the Greta Thunbergs of this world do not want the Amazon jungle to be cut down, just because the ‘pristine’ forests are such a good disguise for the Western destruction of Amazonian Civilisation and trees are so superior to people. You want to hug trees, but not ‘primitive’ people.

Carvajal’s work long remained obscure and was published only in 1895. For over four centuries, Western scholars had dismissed as fabrications and propaganda descriptions of cities, well-developed roads, monumental constructions, fortified towns and dense populations. In fact, Carvajal correctly recorded the advanced Civilisation that flourished along the Amazon in the 1540s. Evidence to support this comes from the recent discovery of numerous geoglyphs dating from before 1250 AD and very fertile soil resulting from native agricultural activities. Probably at least five million people lived in the Amazon region in 1500 in a dense network of towns and villages. Following Western genocide, by 1900 this population had fallen to one million and by the early 1980s it was fewer than 200,000. Little wonder the survivors of this Civilisation, forced to live in their ancestors’ gardens which had become jungle, dislike Western explorers.

Reshaping the World: The Past

In the face of all such injustices the world needs reshaping. Global Realignment is the order of the day – it has been our lifelong desire too. What are we to do about the injustices of the world? When and where did it all begin? The hegemony of the past is a bimillennial story all about the Western exploitation of technology for organised violence. There is nothing wrong with technology. The problem is not technology, the problem is in what we use it for: cars don’t kill people, but homicidal drivers do. Thus, the Chinese invented gunpowder (and also explored Australia and South America), but it took the West to use gunpowder to kill millions of young men. The problem was not in gunpowder, but in the poison in the soul of the Western elite.

The Western self-obsession clearly goes back to the pagan Roman Empire and all modern Western Empires have been attempts to recreate that pagan Empire, as can be seen today by the ‘classical’ architecture of the Washington White House and its new pagan Empire. The bloodthirsty barbarian ‘Charlemagne’, the EU’s ‘Father of Europe’, was the first to try and revive the Empire. He slaughtered the Saxons as long ago as the eighth century, relived pagan Rome at his court and had himself crowned Emperor of the West. Fortunately, he soon died and for 200 years his dream, our nightmare, faded. Unfortunately, it did not die.

The modern West is therefore not bimillennial in continuity, but it is millennial. For it was in the eleventh century that the old power lust revived and the old Christian Civilisation of the West, of the Age of Saints, was buried beneath the new Western Civilisation of SEOV – Superiority, Exceptionalism and Organised Violence. It can be seen in the use of the Normans as the SS of that age, in their anti-Christian ‘crusades’ in southern Italy and then in England in 1066, in the persecution of the Muslims in Iberia, in the ‘Crusade’ of 1096-1099 and its blood lust to murder Jews in the Rhineland and Muslims and Orthodox Christians elsewhere. This finally resulted in the bloody destruction and looting in 1204 of its rival, the New Rome Capital of Christian Civilisation, and soon after the Teutonic ‘Crusades’, which satanically attempted to destroy Russia and which are still ongoing in the Ukraine at this very moment.

Reshaping the World: The Present

The West’s obsession is with duality, good and bad, the cowboy in the white hat (the West) and the cowboy in the black hat (the Rest), ‘with us or against us’, in the words of that great Texan genius George Bush. And so now it has invented a New Cold War. In reality, it is more complex. The New World is ‘multipolar’, that is, ‘multilateral’ or ‘polycentric’ or, in the simplest language of all, ‘diverse’, as it always was and will be again. There are diverse centres or poles of power: Russia-China-Iran; India; Africa; Latin America. And within them is also great diversity. In all this diversity, there is one thing that is clear, that the Western concepts of left-wing and right-wing are purely artificial terms, used only to divide and conquer.

The new reality is that there is not left and right, but National and Anti-National. Thus, the Chinese ‘Communist’ Party has in fact long been the Chinese National Party. In Poland, for instance, where the autocratic and choiceless system of left-wing party and right-wing parties are equally controlled by the US, like all ‘mainstream’ parties (and media) in the West, there is now an Alternative, as in Germany. It is called the anti-woke Confederation, or in full, the Confederation for Freedom and Independence – Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość. Even in the benighted UK, some are beginning to see that the so-called right-wing Conservatives and the so-called left-wing Labour parties are identically Zionist Parties, but that there is a real left-wing alternative. And in the US, where the Democrats are more right-wing than the Republicans? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

The notion prevalent in the US-elite controlled West that the Russia-China alliance is an alliance of unequals is a self-serving Western fallacy to try and make the enemy seem less formidable. Although China’s comprehensive strength may be smaller than that of the US, in combination with Russia there is a paradigm shift in the balance and the US can no longer act as it pleases. It is the common concern of Russia and China that the world must return to an international system, with a UN removed from bribe-ridden New York and a world order based on international law, not on the ‘US rules-based order’. Such was stated in Article 5 of the recent Russia-China agreement in Moscow, stipulating a return to, ‘the basic norms governing international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and opposing all forms of hegemonism, unilateralism and power politics, the Cold War mentality, confrontation between camps and the establishment of cliques targeting specific countries’.

Conclusion: Reshaping the World: The Future

What will happen to the now isolated pariah states and rogue-states of the ‘Western world’, of the USA and its vassal colonies in this New World of increasing diversity, ‘freedom and independence’, as the free Poles call it? Since the USA has never been able to get a foothold in the heart of Eurasia and was kicked out of Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and will soon be kicked out of the Ukraine after the eight months of the Russian victory in Bakhmut, therefore, with the exception of its Canadian colony, US vassals are all on peninsulas and islands. These are: the North-West Asian Frontier called Western Europe, then South Korea, Japan, the island-province of Taiwan, and the very thinly-populated Australia and New Zealand. Western elites still cling on to them, but only for a few more years. What began in Saigon, Teheran and Kabul, what will happen in Kiev over the next year, will be repeated elsewhere. And, as a result, the US will implode.

This is about stopping the US from bullying smaller countries into abandoning their sovereignty by welcoming in a new international order of Peace and Justice, Freedom and Prosperity, with the emphasis on multilateral diversity, not on the imposition of homogeneity by the military force, sanctions, bribery and ideology of wokeness of the One Hegemon. The only primitive peoples were those who invented and used the jungle of colonisation and exploitation, the concentration camp and the Atomic Bomb, napalm and the cluster bomb, the land mine and the depleted uranium shell. The ‘advanced’ West tried to bury the gardens of all our ‘backward’ Civilisations beneath the jungles of its soul. It failed. The Civilisations that the West buried in the jungles of its soul are about to rise up from their graves. The Resurrection is coming.
