5. Research
Some say that you can’t trust history because it was only written by the “winners”. True, history is distorted to favor the financiers who hire the historian, be it emperors, kings, despots, or our current government, and those powerful forces behind it.
These books demonstrate the rigor of the scientific historian, in sifting through the records, and the archeological evidence (monuments), to arrive at some truth about the past. Faith in history is the foundation of advancing beyond past mistakes.
6. SHOCK THERAPY, The Harvard Boys - “Do Russia”, series 1 of 4
We in the west, and listening to narratives on how “we won the cold war” have no idea of what the Russian people were subjected to. I would say; neither did we care, being convinced that Russians were our ENEMY and deserved disaster. This post is a series
7. SHOCK THERAPY, The Harvard Boys - and the Troika, series 2 of 4
On top of the insult and danger of Western incorporation of former Warsaw Pact states into the NATO alliance, was the “shock therapy” economic policy of the “Harvard Boys” from the Harvard Institute of International Development (HIID) working on grants totaling tens of millions of dollars from USAID.[488] These included Undersecretary of the Treasury La…
9 p. WHY DOESN’T MAN CHANGE? #two
Why do I write about these things? Librarian liked the last one, so let’s expand upon it. Do I have an expertise to teach? Not-Really. I write for myself to confirm a new understanding, a new discovery. With attempted expression it becomes clearer in my own mind. (2,200 words)
8 p. WHY DOESN’T MAN CHANGE? Guest post
Science and technology change through a gradual evolution of thought, producing technological expertise. MAN’S PSYCHOLOGY, (his fears) don’t change through symbolic systems.

4 p. How the United States fell into the Ukraine trap 1990 – 2022
It is my belief that the fate of the E.U. is the fate of all the western world, even their push toward war. What was for so long hidden, has now become apparent, for those willing to see it. So it is worth watching the E.U., sort of like the canary in the coal mine, (or the dodo bird on the jungle-gym).
3rd guest post by Perspectives: Understanding the E.U. is a transparent window into our world.
What could be good (for who?) about the EU is celebrated.
INDEX PAGE: Building an Understanding of World Contentious Regions
This is not a political site. Plenty of others comment on geo-politics and the current struggles with war. I will look for what is NOT reported by others. This website is based on a belief that regional peace will serve all of mankind. THAT IS NOT EVERYBODY’S BELIEF. Let’s not assume peace is an obvious solution. Peace and sovereignty do not maintai…
INDEX PAGE for our Anti-Semitism Project
Something builds disdain rather than building respect. I WOULD LIKE TO APPROACH ANTI-SEMITISM FROM MANY DIFFERENT ANGLES. I don't know if I can do it? This will be the start of a series that will expand, (even over the year). When some new circumstances becomes evident, I will try to write about it.
10. EVERY HUMAN BEING HAS A STORY
[This is one of the most moving reads in this series. 10,000 words, first half the stories, second half, their views of the current Israeli state.] It is no secret that scholarly research is often motivated by personal experiences. These experiences tend to be hidden beneath layers of theory; here some are proffered at the outset. They will serve the au…
11. Where will a balanced Voice of a possible future for Israel be heard?
At one time I said that all societies are based on myth and all myths have a toxic corner that has the potential to re-infect the whole. I was writing about the politics of proxy Hate. We know of many researchers who are finding all the impossibilities in ancient Hebrew writings (scriptures), and claiming these are the causes of anti-Semitism, and the…

13. The Jewish Diaspora supports a Jewish Ethnic State
[It may be only a proposal, but I think an obvious statement. Where does Israel get world-wide support? It is the Jewish Diaspora that finds its identity in a Jewish ethnic state. But they don’t have to live through the conflictual turmoil. In this way, they also have a proxy to do the dirty work. In a way, the Diaspora are also the most anti-Semit…
14. Jewish Thread; Guest Opinion piece, some possibilities need to be said directly, that’s my Hypothesis.
(1,800 words) Here we are in an anti-Semitism thread, but on the face of it is a war thread. That is because you can’t think of anti-Semitism these days without acknowledging the huge loss of life within Israel and Gaza, and that those losses are skewed heavily in what we used to call “collateral damage”, that is, killing of non-combatants. Or killing o…
INDEX: Methodology of Historical Geography, finding Khazaria
I will eventually put all the (4) chapters in here. For now I will start with the map, and then kept under the future links I will list the 99 entries of the bibliography. I can’t vouch for these book titles, I can only translate and copy them. But in any case you can see the depth of Gumilev’s research.
Lev Gumilyov Complete Works part 1/3
An introductory fragment until page 90 of the original book. 47,000 words here, in 3 parts. I edited but did not translate this book. I found this Translation from the Russian by the Library for Conciliation, 2023 © L.N. Gumilev, Heirs, 2018 © LLC "Publishing house AST", 2018 UDC 94 BBC 63.3(0) ISBN 978-5-17-105299-7
Russia, and Trade Relations of the Khazaria Epoch
Standard histories of the 18th, 19th, and even 20th centuries misrepresented the IX - XIV centuries with distorted bias. Perhaps they worked with all that they knew, and extrapolated the reasons they thought were behind it. Here Gumilev demonstrates an analysis to compare written records with each other and with the undeniable events that could only h…
