"Katun Cauac" VI : towards the end of a mere utopia, Cartesianism !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
__________________________

We want to recall first for clarity, that "Katun Cauac" means "the time of tempests". It has to cover the next twenty years roughly, as it is named after a Mayan period of time of this length basically.
It is known that the Mayas chose carefully places to establish in Central America, in order to protect themselves from the power of  the God Huracan, Master of winds and fire. Huracan is the one going to be in charge of the world according to their prophecies during "Katun Cauac", which is starting officially on December 22nd, 2012, with its day after also. His name gave "hurricane" in English, and "ouragan" in French.
The four colours of tempests associated (white, yellow-greenish, red or black) seem also to indicate winds' direction and destination, if you take Yucatan (Mexico) or let's say Central America as a conventional center, for their Earthian orientation towards North, South, East or West.

A change of "Katun" is always preceded by the type of events it is announcing. And this is even stronger, when at the same time a change of era - another "Sun" for the Mayas - is also coming simultaneously.
Too cartesian people, who didn't get the wind in the face yet, don't believe in this. But it is not anymore a question of belief.
Still, they intend to say blindly it's not true. And yet everybody is obliged nilling willing to open the eyes, and accept the new reality, even uncomfortable.
Hurricane Sandy in New York and the North-East of the USA, or recent tornadoes and flood in France or elsewhere show clearly there is a huge change at work on Earth.
Strict cartesianists can be strange visionless worshippers of "Goddess reason" : they intend too much to ignore facts and informations, whatever they are worldwide, national or local...only because - may be -, they had the chance to keep the feet still dry.

If you take the French "Journal Officiel" of  October 21st, 2012, you can find no less than 31 pages filled of departments, towns or villages in the whole France, showing that natural catastrophes are happening in mass and acceleratedly.
Two very long lists ("texts 8 and 9 upon 34") are covering the year 2012 not ended still and 2011, with the usual impersonal administrative style and without any comment.
Thus, all together there are 31 pages dedicated to the denumbering of natural catastrophes (ground movements whatever they were differential or not, floods and mudslides, plus the earthquake of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence from February 26th till March 25th, 2012).
But no, Cartesians would say nothing is happening at all, denying strong evidences like the candid Pinocchio of Gepetto. They preferred living in their utopic and limited world. But in fact, they won't be anymore able to do it. And this very fact is already destabilizing and unsettling them, behind or now before the screen. Their world and their ready made certainties seem to be trully collapsing.

At the opposite, Christian fundamentalists would exaggerate about it, and take for granted the time of their saving is quickly coming : they decided they are the elected ones and God has almost to obey.
But no, God doesn't obey anybody : he makes people obeying instead and chooses by himself !
And obviously they would quote some sentences of the Bible which evidence on a divine point of view is just "human". Nevertheless, as they are logic, they are preparing carefully their down-to-earth potential survival.
The Bible is first a collection of human writings and an expression of human understanding on God. At the origin, it describes the way priests in Judah kingdom, but coming from Ur in Mesopotamia, were perceiving God "made one" - through Hachem exactly - from the time of King Josias around 620 BC, in order to assert his power. Hachem can be translated as "the one who has got all forces", or more simply "the Name". But it is true the Bible, the New Testament included, is full of prophecies which can be taken as fulfilled or on the way to be yet.
So too rational and cold arguments are just echoing irrational and hot ones.
Whatever shall really happen on December 21st, 2012, another world will be born on December 22th., the day after. And that's the very meaning of "Katun Cauac", the time of colourful tempests !

On September 13th, 2012, the biggest volcano of Guatemala, the Volcan de Fuego - "Volcano of Fire" -, 16 km from Antigua city, erupted over suddenly : we don't know how the descendants of Mayas took it. Did they perceive this as a message from Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl), the "feathered snake",  connect it with Venus calendar and the prophecies of Chilam Balam, or none of them ?
On October 25th, 2012 at 8:45 PM (local hour), on the other side of the border, in Mexico then, there was a funny carry-on with the Popocatepetl, "the smoking mountain". This volcano is the highest summit of the Mexican state (5 465 m), and is situated 55 km southeast of the capital, Mexico city. Normally, it's so active that videocameras are constantly watching at it. So when a funny cylinder 1 km long for 200 m diameter entered at a high speed in its crater on that very evening, the scientific community, already nervous with the countdown of  the Mayan prophecy and ready to jump on any unusual event, became over suddenly agitated. But the so-called explanation of a "meteorit" getting into the crater is far to appear valid and convincing, as there wasn't any explosion.
When you pay carefully attention at the recorded images, it looks more like a landing or ...a delivery to us. Anyhow, this shows clearly how much human science can be quickly limited by what is appearing as a basic long tube with a regular shape, after all.
Why not going to Popocatepetl to check, then ?



To be more down to Earth, telluric activity might not spread so quickly all over the world as a great show, as long as huge volcanoes stay strangely quiet when they shouldn't be.
Human beings are easily bored by peaceful Earth and peaceful time, as they are naturally full of agressivity and have an incurable addiction to memorable and thrilling events, including in Aveyron. They may just act in order to avoid getting the opposite.

Whatever happened a very long time ago in Yellowstone for America (700 000 years), in the area of Lake Toba in Indonesia (62 000 years), in the "Atlant Ocean" off Antigua (9 566 years), or in the disappeared legendary continent of "Mu" (may be partly remaining still, through Japan archipelago mainly) at an unknown date, Earth show might go on variously. Yet "Xux Ek", the Mayan wasp-star also called "Venus" nowadays can be mistievous, when its time comes to say somewhere on Earth, "Ya ucu" ("Alas") !

To give a last counter-example to the "cartesianist utopia", Fuji San (Fuji Yama for Westerners) in Japan has presently got a very high magmatic activity : it is said to be quite higher than the one of December 16th., 1707, when it started to erupt till 1708, and caused big casualties. But it didn't burst out at the moment strangely : we read it's 16 times higher, but we don't know how such a number was estimated, so we prefer staying skeptic about this exaggerated measurement. Perhaps, the famous medium Allison Dubois should rather be asked about it. Anyway, this shows again that Cartesianism can't explain everything and may be sometimes not anything !

None of the expected scenarii discretely planned by specialists for December 21st, 2012, might match real occurences, as thrilling suspense is holding on.
And on his side, God could decide to be very cheeky also with the tricky ones who cock snooks at him, by destabilizing over suddenly and deeply their unfair, silly, and unwise cartesian standing to attention, seeming to say : "Get lost, it's you to carry the cross by now, because you are not welcome in the sky !"

Fumo bianco II : Santa Cecilia in Trastévere !

per Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Dottore in Geografia Economica
___________________________

Santa Cecilia in Trastévere in Roma è un sede cardinalice vacante attualmente.
Ha avuto nel passato la sua ora di gloria con Simon di Brion (verso 1210 - 1285), questo francese diventato Papa sotto il nome di Martin IV (1281 - 1285).
Cio' puo' essere un punto importante a sottolineare, rispetto al nostro recente articolo dedicato al "Cardinale Segreto".

Il quartiere del Trastévere è  molto animato e illuminato la notte. Si trova degli eccelente ristoranti : possiamo attestare. Ne abbiamo custodito il migliori ricordarsi in iuglio 2004, mentre soggiornavamo più lontano un poco, Via della Conciliazione (a due passi del Vaticano).

Santa Cecilia in Trastévere ha la particolarità di essere annessa direttamente a San Pietro di Roma.
Durante il suo pontificato, Martin IV, il giurista, ha provato a mettere un termine al grande scisma di 1054 tra la Chiesa di Roma e la Chiesa di Oriente (Bizencia). Ma non è giunto, perché gli era contato ed il suo regno fu troppo corto.

Gli anatemi reciproci sono stati sollevati infine nel 1965 da Paolo VI ed il patriarca greco Athenagoras I. Ed il patriarca russo Alexis II è venuto alla Nostra Signora di Parigi nel 2007 per venerare le reliquie della passione del Cristo. Cosi' i rapporti tra le due Chiese sono essi di ordine oecumenico, verso la riconcilazione finale che resta tuttavia a compiere.




Santa Cecilia in Trastévere è un luogo altamente frequentato dai turisti francesi in Roma.
La delicata statua in marmo di Santa Cecilia - in posizione distesa - di Stefano Maderno (1600), li affascina in più alto punto.

Il suo corpo fu ritrovato in 1599 in occasione di perquisizioni archeologiche : miracolosamente era stato conservato intatto centinaia di anni. La commemorazione reiterata del suo martirio fatto della padrona della musica il simbolo del complesso dialogo con gli angeli.

Forse questo dovuto è alla musica celeste che desiderano sentire come Cecilia, quando incontrava un angelo diventato il suo amante divino, segondo "La leggenda dorata" di Iaccopo da Varazze (1260) ?

Del secondo o terzo secolo dove viveva Santa Cecilia nella Roma ancora pagana ai nostri giorni, tante cose hanno cambiato. Tuttavia, c'è al suo riguardo una permanenza attestata delle manifestazioni della fede che puo' sembrare propriamente stupefacente. Fa sempre dei miracoli oggi !

The tale of "Teethyland" : between vain challenges and absurd collapse !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
_______________________

Imagine you are living in an imaginary western country we would call "Teethyland" because of its long teeth scratching the floor.
Like a vampire, this country is pumping the blood of its people. It sucks you till your skin is dried out. Again, it wants your mind because it is what it lacks the most.
Officialy it denies you, but in reality it secretly envies you so much that it tries to imitate you to slip into your skin.
You may unexpectedly think you are fed up to the back teeth and that won't do !
But it's not necessary to do anything about it usually. As a matter of fact, Teethyland's people are accustomed to produce quick counter-measures to their own measures.
Challenging others uselessly is just a common game as children do. They need so much recreational occupations to forget temporarily their daily disturbances ! The natural world doesn't suit them, because it's not always depending on binary competition (1-0 or 0-1), but on free clever cooperation. And this is both puzzling and confusing them, as they feel insidious and vain envy.

During the siege of Tyr (332 BC), the inhabitants of this challenging town had a similar attitude with Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), defying him day after day. They also used a symbolic cord. They wanted to show him they were spitting on his feet with absolutely no respect. Tyr was really getting on his nerves and he felt oppressed and personally insulted. But suddenly, after "seven months", with the strange help of "silvered shields" from the sky according to Arrian (they were radiating powerful "blue beams", and nobody knows exactly what they were), Alexander demolished at once the deep walls of the foolish town. And he entered the city with his full army : everybody was over suddenly frightened, as it was unexpected and totally impossible normally. And this time they were quite right to be, because he was very angry. We know what happened then : it is the only recorded case in his conquest he decided not to give grace to the defeated ones. He wasn't benevolent this time.
Even when he set the fire to Persepolis in Persia to revenge Athens' plunder by Xerxes more than one century before, he just destroyed buildings (331 BC).

In Teethyland, people usually showed a goody-goody face (except some days of bulldogs' face) to promote "universal peace" on Earth. Obviously they meant "their peace", once they would have eliminated in the dark full of people.
Indeed, their secret dream was actually to spread war for their own purposes, under hypocrit messages.
The reason was they were no good at an open war : they usually lost quickly and surrendered, ...or left.
That's why they intended to use bigger powers as puppets, trying to scatter war and conflicts, by discretely spreading heavy and sneaky discord amongst them. For this aim, so-called humanitarian causes were a terrific vector, when melted with confusion. Vested in the suit of "saviours", they were able to go anywhere to have their say and interactions. Then they could speak loudly to any tribune, and be heard till the Moon. And the Moon heard them, freeing anew the Sumerian universe of Gesh (the great reversed cone, in fact a "great Canine" if you pay attention at the shape) and Nyarlathotep from Syria. So the "liberation" of Syria which is called for, could be already his triumph, more than the one of the population who might just change the hard master in the end : just watch at the sad and cynical example of Libya !

But in truth, Teethyland is kneeling in front of promoters and God Mammon, who in return despises and crushes it.
Very strangely people sometimes provoke good outcomes they didn't want, because they are taken seriously, in an often unexpected way.
The double face strategy of Janus God often get them into a big muddle.
And at this stage, watching them at a distance can be quite a great fun. You learn a lot on the bad sides of "Virtuous Canines" as nicknamed - because it's what you see first and ever - ; and you  automatically question less the theory of species Evolution rewritten by Charles Darwin (1809-1882), after the "Zoonomia" of his grandfather Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). The reptilian brain stays quite dominant in last resort, in front of the limbic one and the neocortex.
Erasmus Darwin, a physician and inventor, inspired a lot a famous writer, Mary Shelley (1797-1851), who wrote the novel untitled "Frankenstein" in 1816 after his works on galvanism.
In ex-Teethyland, it was necessary to look domineering, dull, and uncultured enough to be accepted and succeed in life, if not for the company. The drawback was that students "with long teeth" taught this way, often wanted to overthrow father and mother, or even uncle or aunt, to get more quickly their position !




Presently, a war like the potential one in the Straight of Ormuz (between Israel and Iran) is not really replaced by the messianic "liberation" of Syria, or a potential financial war between Anglo-Saxons (New-York and London), following the Libor banking manipulation in the UK. But this may just accelerate the process of an irremediable decline and collapse of Teethyland, as a competitor and partner - self regulation being an heresy in such time for economics and finance.

When a country like ex-Teethyland walks constantly on the head, it's normal to wander what to do with the feet. By having let financial confusion settling as a posture, the country completely lost its landmarks and guidance. It appears unavoidably as preposterous, nothing being reliable. And it wouldn't benefit from this entertained confusion, which is causing its actual sinking !

May be after an epilog to this absurdity leading to abyssal losses and the threat of a clear GDP's contraction, it could have been replaced by "Gratiousland" or "Fairland".
As a matter of fact it would have given a breathe, and only God knows how much it really needed a good one, even it would appear quite unusual.
But no, its new name is "Needyland".

The end of Teethyland toll the knell of a system which gave little to obtain still less. And the advent of "Needyland" announces a total "Renovation of the century". The year 2012 would in that way lead nilling willing to new unknown beginnings, after Teethyland's sinking into its own irreality and delusion.
An Italian saying is quoting : "Rosso di sera, bel tempo di spera" (Pink clouds on the evening, good weather expected) !

Fumo bianco : il mistero del "Cardinale Segreto" resta quasi intero !

per Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Dottore in Geografia Economica
___________________________

Dal 2 aprile 2005 e la morte di Giovanni Paolo II (1920-2005) al Vaticano, un grande mistero non è stato risolto mai.
Circa dieci sette mesi anteriori la sua morte, durante el consistorio del 21 ottobre 2003 a Roma, ha creato un ciento-deci-ottavo cardinale elettore ed eliggibile, "in petto". Si tratata finalmente sembra di un uomo sposato di cui la sposa era asiatica - non cristiana, ma simpatizzante -, e che era de nazionalità francese.
Che è il "Cardinale Segreto" ? L'espressione esatta del Vaticano per cuesta particolarità che dispensa del celibato è "cardinale in pectore", questo essere-a-dire "si guardato nel segreto dal suo cuore".
Questa scelta è dovuta allora al ruolo storico di questo personaggio, ed al fatto che la rivelazione del suo nome potrebbe presentare per egli dei rischi politici o altri, nel un paese non veramente libero.
Diffati, si sa dal conclave del 18 e 19 aprile 2005, que non si trattava del arcivescovo de Novossibirsk in Russia asiatica (Siberia), come certi l'avevano pensato. Da allora, i Russo ma anche i Giapponesi o stesso i Chinesi, hanno sembrato egli lo stesso punto di convergenza que quello menzionato inizialmente.

Cio` che è strano questo è che la Francia abbia inquietato il più Papa per il suo attegiamento possibile che la Russia o l'Asia - cristianizzata abbastanza poco da paragone -, in questa decisione rarissima. Ma è vero che questo Papa aveva fatto una reflessione notevole sul fatto che la Francia non era più "la ragazza maggiore della Chiesa" all'epoca dal sua ultima visita, a Lourdes (14 e 15 agosto 2004). Ha finito anche la sua omelia dicendo ai fedeli raccolti ed ai telespetattori : "Difendete la vostra libertà "!
Pensaba probabilmente alla "religione atea" del paese,  fredda, tirannica, spilorcia i senza speranza, i alla sua intoleranza crescente nei confronti la chiesa cattolica, singolarmente. Ed egli faceva un riferimento a cio`que aveva permeso la fondazione di questo paese (la Chiesa associata a Clovis), ed anche a cio` que andava puo` essere disfarlo per la sua disgrazia : un'intoleranza irragionevole, assurda, ed acceca !
Comunque sia il colore distintivo di questo nuovo Cardinale, como il suoi omologhi del curia romano, è il rosso, doppo pubblicazione della sua nomina.
Porta il titolo di eminenza e ha la riga di principe della Chiesa.

Perché l'ha scelto specialmente questo Papa polacco, mentre non grande cosa le predisponeva apparentemente ci, se questo una vita non sempre facile ?
Voleva fare di lui un "Gran Pastore" ?
Le vie del Signore sono veramente impenetrabili.
La sola cosa di cui si ricordi, è d'avere conversato a diverse riprese con una giovana corsista polacca all'accento affascinante. E` vero que avevano parlato del Vaticano e del Papa, ma non di Cardinale - e meno Segreto.
La Francia ha tanto bisogno di ritemprarsi per rinascere a lei stessa ? E` vero que i Tedeschi tendono a dire que Dio è francese, per riferimente a Gesù e a la stirpe di Clovis.
Ma questo paese è sopravvissuto bene ci sono più di due seculi a più insanguinata, dishumana ed acceca delle rivoluzioni, tanto que la si soppranomita all'esteri "la madre di tutte le rivoluzioni".
Allora perché temere la slogatura di cio` que sembra cosi `solido e veramente "antiurto" ?
In quanto ai diritti naturali che nessuno contesta del resto, e che derivano inizialmente della parola stessa di Gesù sé, si sarrebbe justtemente in diritto di aspettare che siano un poco più meglio rispettati, senza malizia né cinismo. Il riscatto dei "Splendidi" que interpretano le parole al contrario del loro senso, e sono ideologicamente cosi`docili, non ha proprio niente di assicurato.  I diritto naturali non hanno per niente a servire di esca né di delusione un poco facile, per le masse, le minoranze o gli individui isolati. Perché non sarebbero allora più naturali per chiunque !

Chi è più una certa Francia orgogliosa e schiacciante gli aveva fatto sapere già in passato, ed in modo ripetuta, che non aveva per niente bisogno di lui in questo mundo que dominava se bene !
Allora perché fare ne si per chi finge di ignorarli girandovi la schiena, come una bambina insolente e precipitosa ?
Forse si non saprà mai chi è il Cardinale Segreto, sopratutto se viene a considerare che è vano dedicare la sua vita alle persone que ne non hanno niente da fare.
La maggioranza di essi è stessa più di faticosi darvinista superstiste molto male nelle difficoltà que hanno loro stessi creato, che i christiani divoti nella gioia al rigardo del Signore. In questo senso, il cardinale segreto potrebbe essere un notevole "equalizore" del resto.
Per ritornare ne allo statuto originale dai Cardinali "in pectore", è notevole que parecchi di essi durante la storia siano diventi Papi, con l'annuncio del famoso fumo bianco.


Dunque se il Vaticano nella persona del precedente Papa ha desiderato che un uomo sia Cardinale un poco malgrado lui, non è necessario que lo sappia troppo velocemente in modo ufficiale. Difatti, la situazione del Cardinale "in pectore" presente dei vantaggi indotti del cannone 351 §3 de 1983.
Cosi`, finché egli l'inore ufficialmente, si guarda la sua totale libertà di pensiero e di azione senza timore né costrizione, pure potendo conservare il suo stilo di vita.

Niente impedische del resto solamente il mezzo per questo fare chiedo in prestito alla discrezione religiosa, ma in modo bacino di ingrassamento per ostriche e sufficientemente precisa. Diversamente, il suo ruolo sarebbe impossibile o molto complesso a riempire. Chi sa se il Papa Giovanni Paolo II non aveva previsto già  durante il consistorio del 21 ottobre 2003 une data futura como punto di partenza della nomina effetiva su una sede data, semplicemente ? Cio`spiegherebbe la sua assenza notata da tutti i cronisti pontificalli al conclave del 18 e 19 aprile 2005, per l'elezione del successore di Giovanni Paolo II, che come ciascuno sa è Benedicto XVI (nato in 1927).

Il periodo di caos attuale cosi` agitato ed apparentemente senza speranza, impone delle scelte chiare al nuovo Papa per dissipare le ombre. Sono meno que si possa fare per bloccare la propaganda circostante, presentata sotto le apparence sempre più stupide, buono il. Questa estrema volta, le vie del Signore devono diventare infine penetrabili, perché le circostanze lo comandano imperiosamente.
Del resto quando Dio vuole farsi sentire gli basta manifestarsi improvvisamente, in modo "fractale" !

Chinggis Khan is alive anew : for the glory of "Tengri", the divine blue Sky !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
___________________________

For modern Mongols who didn't have any maoïst revolution at the difference of Nepal recently (1996-2008), the question of which type of suit or "topi" (hat) wearing is not a real topic, and neither a subject of everyday concern and headache.
Mongolia is proud of its tradition, and everybody now more than ever is refering to the national hero and conqueror, Chinggis Khan (1162 - 1227). Chinggis Khan (Ghenghis Khan) means in fact "Sovereign of the Universe" : so it's not really a name but the title given by the Borjigin clan to Temujin (his original name) in 1189 and then by all the Mongol clans in 1206 : he was crowned with this title in spring 1206, and his capital in the center of Mongolia became Karakorum.
Nowadays, people want to reappropriate the great conqueror, who was strong and rich.
Becoming strong and rich is something wished by mature men to young boys when they are five years old (sometimes three), and their hair cut for the first time.
We musn't forget the very name of Mongolia has something to do with this custom, as it is coming from "Onongol" which means "Boy River". ["Secret history of the Mongols", 1228 or 1240]

Present Mongolia is 1.566 500 million km2 (three times metropolitan France, called" the hexagon") for 2.8 million inhabitants. So you can calculate density overthere is very low (around 2 inhabitants per km2 only).
But you can find Mongols also in inner Mongolia (China) or along the Russian side of the border with Mongolia. It's a country of big contrast, as for the temperature which can be very high during the day according to the season, and below O°C at night. On that point the "ger" (yurt) of the cattle breeders is certainly the most adaptated housing environment. And until recently, wealth was counted by the number of horses or of heads of cattle a man could have, at the image of Chinggis Khan : beside common animals for the West, cattle includes yaks and camels as Mongolia is a country of steppes. Now it's also depending on money like dollars for the growing number of new businessmen, since the political opening of the nineties.
Oulan Bator ("the red hero"), the capital, was previously called Urga - "palace" -, and its population grew tremendously from 1998 till now : it almost doubled, with 1,2 million inhabitants (as much as 45% of the population). A lot of Kazakhs are living in the northwest of the country.
The alphabet used in independant Mongolia is cyrillic since 1941, like it was in Soviet Union, even the language was different (khalka). This is coming from an intermixed political history. As a matter of fact, notwithstanding a strong political influence, Mongols found this alphabet was easy to use for them, and quite suiting the written expression of their language.

In the old time, both China and Russia have been dominated by the Mongols. The empire of the Golden Herd was once even extending from Poland to Syria, Iran, and Indias.
Freeing definitively from Mongol remaining influence through Polish ruling in Russia - paradoxically -, was the achievement of Michel Romanov (1596 - 1645) : Russian about him, he left the Monastery Ipatiev in Kostroma in 1613, to be elected Tsar around 300 km away in Moscow. He was finally prefered to the Polish Tsar, Ladislav IV Vasa (1595-1648), who had held the position for two years and half only. And his new dynasty named Romanov after him, ruled Russia (Russias actually) for several centuries till the Revolution of 1917.
In China, the Yuan dynasty (1280-1368) was Mongol. And even after it ended and was replaced by Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it was for long a custom to marry a female descendant of Chinggis Khan, a Mongol princess, to ensure and legitimate the throne.
Nowadays, Russia and China are the two dominant countries in this area of the world, Mongolia's two giant neighbours.

Religion overthere switched several repeated times to boudhhism before it became the national one (Gelugpa style, like Tibet) in the XVIth century. And the title of "Dalaï Lama" (Ocean of Wiseness) was given in 1577 by Altan Khan (1507 - 1582) to Sönam Gyatso (1543 -1588), the religious leader of Tibet he recognized through conversion.
Christianity (Catholic religion) had a chance to become Mongol religion, but it never happened in fact.
The original religion is shamanic and called the religion of Tengri. Tengri can be taken as "the divine blue Sky". Your duty is to honour him, and not make him angry. It never disappeared totally, even it was more hidden under Communism (1924 - 1990). And everyday life is a mixture of both, a bit like Japan with Shintoism (shamanic also) and Boudhhism for the people.
Tengri was the supreme God of Chinggis Khan, even he didn't like much to depend on spirits, or even other types of religion. And that's the reason why he was tolerant with the various religions of his empire. On this path, he was rather imitated by his descendants and successors, as far as the Moghul empire in Indias (1526 - 1757), which was muslim.
But for all the Mongols, Chinggis Khan was clearly representing Tengri on Earth.
And the old nickname which was given to him, the "blue wolf", was directly connected to his mythical and half-divine origin.
When he established his colossal empire on Earth, he got inspiration from another great conqueror whom he was admiring for his boldness and invicible strategy, Alexander the Great (356 - 323 BC). And he was seeing himself both as his continuator and successor. Those psychological details musn't be ignored when people compare them for the size of their empire.
Alexander the Great when he became Shah of Persia (330 BC), was Protector of the kingdom of Xia in China, on "the silk road". And Chinggis Khan started the conquest of China by conquering it (1205-1207). So opposing those two characters is a non sense historically.




Mongolia, with its famous river Orkhon (or Orgon), and its mysterious desert of Gobi, southeast of Mongol Altaï, is still fascinating : this last one has been considered from immemorial times as the energetic center of the planet. And Europeans or more widely Westerners, are still looking for the secret entrance of Agartha, the mythical kingdom of the King of the World : they forget it's him normally who has to enter our world finally from his undestructible fortress, according to the legend !

Rebecoming essentially a country of nomads after the disappearing of the Golden Herd empire, and during Communism, Mongolia has become recently an highly growing country with strategic, rare or precious metals, like copper, molybdenum or gold.
The world market of commodities has just boosted its economy which is fueling (13% growth rate of GDP expected in 2013). And the Western influence is newly facing the Russian and Chinese ones.

In this country respecting the most humble ants, Tengri has never lost his supreme power.
And the "blue wolf", Chinggis Khan, is anew ressucitated  by Mongols for continuing their own legend.
But let's give him the last words :
"Should my golden body weaken, so be it.
But my existing dynasty must not be broken up." [Chinggis Khan, 1223]

The unexplainable December 21st 2012 : from Aristotle's faults and limitations to Angels' blues !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
__________________________

Nobody knows what will happen from December 21st 2012 on Earth. So let's start from the beginning.
By introducing a flat way of thinking, Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) printed in human mind for more than 2300 years great limitations. He made our bicameral mind handicapped with the binary thinking, which totally excludes nuances. He also exaggerated about syllogisms, when you know it can lead easily to absurd conclusions.
Equalilly, the tiring opposition between religion and science is coming from him, as he didn't believe in Gods.
And very paradoxically, he can be seen both as the initiator of rigid dogmatism in theology, and at the same time the father of Atheism ! We musn't forget he was considered at his time as impious, and challenging towards the Gods with his "theory of four causes".
His way of thinking was certainly new and puzzling. But it also created a big mess in human mind for so long.

In that way, he alterated durably the human understanding of Nature (God expression), by deviating it from its natural interrogations and conclusions.
His persistent thought influenced a lot Christianity strangely, even he died far before Jesus-Christ was born. As a matter of fact, he inspired a lot the fathers of the Church who created a domineering religion. Jesus himself might have difficulty to recognize what he is thought to have said or sometimes wished, notwithstanding certain good points as an announced universal religion.
This is working a bit like a "springed devil".  It can be harmful if you are too much in it, because the spring can pierce one of your eyes, and damage or even kill you.
He made human beings almost totally blind for more than two millenii. And may be it's time to say : that's enough. It's like if his too often repeated words acted on brain as a tse tse fly, provoking dangerous tripanosomia, which confuses the mind before coma. He may have created a masquerade for the brain.

Aristotle as a man was rather intolerant, and he strongly believed in the superiority of the Greeks on other people (the "Barbarians" considered as backward). He totally and abruptly opposed his previous disciple, Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) far more broad minded than him in any point of view : Alexander absolutely refused to follow his harsh way of identifying conquered people to things or plants ; and he did exactly the opposite by promoting Persians or other people to high positions, by following his dream of fraternal and universal empire !
So that made Aristotle enraging : in fact, he was neither terribly generous nor kind as a man, but cool, narrow minded, and sometimes crual. He most probably ended in the Hades (Greek Infierno) !
As a matter of fact, he was considered by some as a criminal and regicide, just after the death of Alexander the Great, most probably poisoned. He could escape from being charged because of the protection of General Antipater, Regent of Macedonia, and his son Cassander - both of them conspirators of the same plot -, but died one year after.
So, it's a bit strange he is still so admired. Human beings in the West have really got a funny inclination towards bad people...if we follow the own principles of Aristotle, father of materialism !

So all together, because of his structural influence on human guided understanding, the scriptures have been partly misinterpreted and modified. And this was helped by human blindness. That's why nobody understands anything anymore.
The best example is about Angels the Greeks were calling "Daimons". The philosopher Socrates (470 - 399 BC) for instance had one inspiring him. But through time, after a big confusion to eradicate old Greek religion, the word "Daimon" was transformed in "Demon", becoming then a totally pejorative designation.
Above that, there is presently a too rigid distinction between Angels and Nephilim (the 200 fallen ones lead by Shemiaza, who just refused to bend down to Adam, a creature of clay). And nobody seems to have realized some of them have got a room in both camps at the same time. This originality cannot be fully understood, except by Angels themselves and obviously God - because all of them have always served his own will. Camael, for instance is not  considered at all as a fallen Archangel, while pertaining the Nephilim also. And he is not the only one in that case.
This kind of mysteries could be why the study of Angels is not encouraged by the Church, concentrating on only three (Michael, Gabriel and Raphael) ...or sometimes four (with Uriel or Phanuel alternatively).



Those points may seem quite abstract for a lot of people, but they have got their importance. In reality, December 21st 2012 could be first about Angels' common destiny, before the one of human beings. There is an alternative view of what might happen surprisingly and invisibly first, which is echoing the most clashing and controversial teaching of ancient Catharism. It has been kept secret by the mass destruction of the XIIIth century and the flames of Montségur (France, 1244) :  Lucifer (Shemiaza) who was once the lieutenant of God wouldn't be destroyed at all at the end, but forgiven by God.

For what reason, would this happen ? Well, it would be just because of the too frequently bad, hopeless and often useless behaviour of human beings coming from Adam and Eve : false, sticky, manipulative, malevolent, and stupid to each other ! The reality could be that Angels (all of them) have got blues about human beings and are fed up with this carry on, and so would be God : Shemiaza's initial disappointement would be understood then, opening to reconciliation and rejoining to the light.

Again the number of 144 000 elected ones often pointed out mainly by Protestants and other groups like the Witnesses of Jehovah or the Mormons, have in fact more to do with Angels (and Nephilim) than with human beings. As a matter of fact, 144 is the number connected to them in the Bible and not to man (number 666), at the exception of course of the Nephilim's descendants and those who sensed this unexpected reconciliation.

With Unity found back in the sky, the destiny of Earth and Earthians will automatically change.
A total recall would then occur after this reinitialisation, which consequences would certainly be huge even they are still totally unknown : chaos, crushing, light or blank, separately or all together ?
The other possibility is the GREAT NOTHING, with its double meaning !

"A few at their rank will find they want to be" : message from an immediate future !

by Jean-Jacques COURTEY, Doctor in Economic Geography, Ph. D
_________________________

This article is an English translation of our French article published one year ago, on August 13th 2011 :
" 'Peu trouveront qu'à son rang veuille estre' : message d'un futur immédiat ! "
It is more valid than ever as an adaptation.

" 'Before long time everything will be ranged,
We hope a century really awkward.
The state of masks and the lonely ones well changed,
 Few will find at their rank they want to be !'
 This fateful quatrain of Nostradamus (1503 - 1566), seems to connect logically to the previous one quoting : 'For him, without faith and lawless people will die" (II, 9).
In any case, it is applying perfectly to the irresistible "reset" of this deeply perturbating and uncertain beginning of XXIst century.
It is rather clear to understand :  
"Before a long time everything will be arranged : we must expect an awkward century. The positions of the masked ones (members of secret societies, brotherhoods, etc.), and those of the apparently isolated ones at the opposite, will change swiftly and imperceptibly, just by swinging the mask. And a few personalities will want to stay at their rank - understated, to assume high responsabilities, too much overwhelming and stifling.
On this point, Nostradamus doesn't aim at the outside and frequently exaggerated opinion we have about those personalities, but on the contrary the inner way they will suddenly feel themselves the inanity and impotence of their impossible fiddle.

The states have from too long abdicated their power in front of Neo-Liberalism. What this current wishes fundamentaly is no less than the Nation-State stretching, to make it ridiculous if possible. The "free forces of the Market" (which are worth 600 trillion dollars, so around 24 times the conjugated GDPs of the USA, China and Japan), essentially consider the law of the strongest one, like the states they ape by mimicry : some are even specialists of the double language by dissimulating themselves - skillfully or not -, behind the "iron mask" of fundamental rights.
Except in that case, it's not only about individuals the State would usually declares itself impotent to protect with white lies (which end to come true by repetition). States have become themselves economically so easy and fragile targets. Often dismissive when they should protect public economic order, those unhappy entities are going to rack and ruin : by dint of having a vanishing action often nilly, those "outside forces" which are not blind find them totally useless now on and make fun of them. And it seems, they decided to darken their bad will, by playing a mocking "yoyo" : a small surge of fright here, and a small surge of terrified fear there, according to the stock-exchange volatility !
Besides, States consider themselves as suddenly embedded and caught in their own trap and failure, because of the frightening Debt crisis. As a matter of fact, they have become always consenting puppets, without opposing this perverse game.
All their efforts are leading them to please their new capricious and invisible masters, even if they are sacrificing blindly the real interests of the people. And yet they have never been elected for that, what causes a mistrust and a faintness growing and perceptible.
Only America seems to get one's back up against the unfairness of a double A attributed on last August 5th by the "assessing-notating" firm Standart and Poor's, instead of the usual AAA : a gross mistake of 2 trillion dollars amongst other problems, would have curiously melted in the projections of the analysts-accountants, provoking an immediate inquiry from SEC (Security and Exchange Commission). If it was proved erroneous, it would be right the USA to be reattributed quickly their triple A. That would be a first great victory on the Debt, before the great clearing.
But the USA are really an astonishing country, since the billionaire businessman Warren Buffett (born in 1930), and an important number of very rich people are asking to pay more tax to save their nation and the American dream.

It will come to France, even if it will be more timid by comparison with America. It is true that in this world where nobody understands anything anymore, it's not abnormal that certain politicians themselves look so lost. But in that case, they shouldn't continue persuading people of the opposite. They play tiredly on big words, ensuring they master everything when nothing is under control. Anyway, everybody realize it, as facts are coming quickly to deny their wrong speeches : we are now on in "Dreamland", like the one Aborigenes are talking about.
The "Coué" method doesn't work in economics, where facts are stubborn.
Even our humorists who are mocking at our politicians, are not anymore able to make us laugh :
they often seem too serious by comparison with their models.
In France, the famous "Henri the Second" to be (with the meaning of "saviour" or "helpful"), dear to Nostradamus may exist as a "tumult apeaser", but nobody knows who he could be exactly. And if he doesn't exist, or takes his time by distrust towards the human ingratitude, people then have to be patient and show abnegation by the meantime.
The World Bank just recently estimated the financial crisis of 2011 is of a completely different type from the one of 2008. And its analysis appears quite correct to us. Nothing known before is really applying to what's happening.
We are not entering a contra-cyclic era, but an "a-cyclic" one, out of time in a way. Everything looks so absurd and at the same time so actual.
One wanted to get free at all costs of the classic logic who has been successful in doing so.
We are living in the time of the marriage of carp and rabbit, the one of upside-down, and cock-and-bull. Cartesianism is dying, and the world it was supporting is disappearing very fastly in front of our amazed eyes. In this new opening world, only would count one-liners with their weight and magic. And except the image, the rest - it means tangible reality-, would be without importance apparently. Even !





Our universe is more and more the one of the Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711 - 1776), with the disappearing of causality, seen as a simple probability amongst others. It was inaugurated by the now defeated rationalists, lost in their downfall.
His "Enquiries concerning human understanding", published in 1748, are taking back all their valorous vigour.

Only the most resourceful and creative persons by now, will make their room in this new era, a bit like the rabbit or the hatter of "Alice in Wonderland" (1865). His British author, Lewis Caroll (1832-1898), was in reality a mathematician, and not only a storyteller. He would have adored our new epoch : its absence of coherence would have delighted him !

By willing to play stupid games, the protagonists of this change have created something which is escaping them completely : hence, their own life is really risking to go on absurdly like for anybody else. Their wish of uncontrolled and uncontrollable aberrations could be widely and suddenly fulfilled nilly-willy, by leaving them seriously lost and embarrassed. And the column the most appreciated of magazines or newspapers would be untitled "higgledy-piggledy", or better "the hare of March heading" !
