From Yahweh to Zion by Laurent Guyénot

Hi y'alls,

As Luis mentioned, I'll re-post the previous summaries we had on this book in this thread:

Luis Miguel said:
Returning to the idea of having separate threads for summaries, we'll start with our current book. @Pecha will help us copy the latest summaries into the existing book thread.

We'll keep posting new ones there.

We'll do the same for future workshop summaries that already have their own thread, and we'll create a new one in this section if a book doesn't have one.

Doing this for all past books/workshops would require a mod or admin to go through the whole thread here and move individual posts to the new thread, which is a bit impractical and time-consuming.

The Am-EU group finishes the Preface and Introduction of Laurent Guyénot's From Yaweh to Zion on March 2nd, led by Luis.

I've attached the mind map below in both PNG & PDF form. For readability, I've also printed the mind map in bulleted form here:

Preface
  • The preface remarks that the book could never be published in any major publishing house among English-speaking countries due to it tracing the evolution of the concept of God with regard to Jewish tribal power.
  • (Il Matto): The history of ideas is a way to trace intellectual historical ideas and provide context to each one.
  • The author writes about a mind-virus endemic to Judiasm that perpetuates tribalistic thinking rather than universalism. This is present in various degrees in Christianity and Islam too. It manifests in a way as seeing someone else as someone lesser than another, making it easier to justify hurting them.
  • (Il Matto): The Cathars and the Crusades showed a lot of tribalism and aggression as well.
    • (Luis): The Essenes in contrast, wasn't really that tribal. They were more like monks and more respectful of others.
  • (Luis): The satanic cults have been revealed more and more in the last five years.
    • (Mari): The red heifer stuff was in mainstream news.
    • (RedFox): Some say that abortion is a way to carry on sacrifices to Molech.
  • (Mari): Shares Session 7 October 1994 section:
    Q: (L) Where did the Jews come from?
    A: Atlantis.
    Q: (L) Who was Yahweh.
    A: Fictional being.
    Q: (L) Who was the god that spoke to Moses on the mount?
    A: Audible projection of Lizards.

  • (?): There's a portal in the Middle East.
    • (Turgon): Maybe it's a portal for lizzies? In the book, Defying Hitler one saw the face of a lizard on a Nazi brown coat.
  • (Il Matto): Is it true for the author of the preface to say that polytheism is one of things that cause satanic behavior to arise?
    • (Mari): Some say that the Old Testament stuff should be separated from Christianity, saying that the starting point should be with Jesus.
    • (Il Matto): Theologians argue that Jesus is the last blood sacrifice to end all sacrifices. In that way, the context of the OT is needed for that understanding.
    • (Mari): See Laura's articles on Yaweh and sacrifice.
    • (Seato): When things go really wrong, people may look to sacrifice the elites in power to appease.
      • (Turgon): In Lewbaciazi's book, that sacrifice of the elites causes the cycle to continue once more. He writes that it's crucial to deal with psychopaths in another way, and to know deeply what and how they operate. To inoculate against psychopathy.
    • (Bluefyre): More stuff coming out with circumcision in order to rewire, control and program people.

Introduction
  • The enduring roots of the Jewish people lies in part to their Bible, a.k.a. the Tanekh, in their language, which is akin to the Old Testament in Christian terms. It includes the five "Books of Moses" (Pentateuch/Torah), the Historical Books, and the Prophets.
  • Moses Hess and Leon Pinsker were the earliest prophets of political Zionism. They didn't draw inspiration from the Bible, but rather were converted to Zionism due to the rise of anti-Semitism.
    • The rise of anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany gave grounds for the creation of Israel in 1948. The Holocaust also solidified the belief that Jews are God's chosen people, with deep ties to the Bible that the author will explore later.
  • Zionism follows in the footsteps of Joshua, who was a prophet and military leader that conquered land and distributed them to the tribes of Israel. A similar dynamic is happening in modern-day Palestine.
  • David Ben-Gurion is described as "the personification of the Zionist dream" and blessed with the spark from Joshua's soul. Through military missions like the Israeli invasion of the Sinai in 1956, it was done to restore the kingdom of David and Solomon.
    • These efforts are in the hopes of bringing about what he prophesized as an end to all wars, where a Shrine of the Prophets would be built as the "Supreme Court of Mankind"--a mediator between federated nations. And that all nations will pay a tribute to the mountain of Yahweh. A prophecy by Isaiah.
    • These attachments to the Bible give justification for conquest in the minds of Zionists. It is this study of their Bible that gives insight into the decisions they make and their thinking, and as well as clarity into the mind-virus endemic to the Abrahamic religions.
  • The author hopes to free those from these toxic Zionist ideas, be it Jews or anyone else. Any moral judgment cast in the following pages are "directed at the elite who have built this prison throughout the ages, and kept its key".
  • There's a notion among Jews that Zionism is largely non-religious (despite its root in the Bible).
    • (Luis): Question for y'all, how can Jewish religion be seen as secular?
    • (Il Matto): It is inherently a materialistic ideology.
  • (Bluefyre): The fundies teach to see others who don't follow Jesus as an "other", similar to Jewish teachings.
    • (Turgon): The Zionist councils were in charge of moving Jews to various places like Palestine after WWII. Many of these Jews didn't want to go, but didn't have a choice.
    • (RedFox): In Gad Saad's book, Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense, it describes the programming done to de-unify, deteriorate common sense, and stimy rational thought.
  • (Il Matto): The age and dating of the Bible is important due to it speaking the to the motivations of the Bible.

General Notes
  • (anartist) - Israel currently bombing South Lebanon...
  • (Redrock12) - Trump seems to not like war and he also doesn't like Netanyahu. It's like his hands are tied with what to do in Gaza.
  • (Mari): A vote of no confidence in Ukraine right after the meeting with Trump occurred in Ukraine calling for Zelensky's impeachment.
  • (Bluefyre) - I heard someone say that Canada has more precious metals than Ukraine.
    • (Seato): Maybe the rare mineral stuff that the USA is pushing for is a way to bring other nations into the peace deal.
    • (RedFox): The transparency that Trump set up in the white house with Zelensky showed how much of a fool Zelensky is.
    • (Mari) - Starmer, Macron, and others filmed in London seem to still want to support Ukraine, with Zelensky still wearing his combat "uniform".
    • (Laurs) - Zelensky was even wearing an Azov insignia.

The Am-EU group finished three of the subchapters in chapter 1 of Laurent Guyénot's From Yaweh to Zion on March 9th, led by Turgon. Here's Video and Audio for the meeting.

I've also attached the mind map below in both PNG & PDF form. For readability, I've also printed the mind map in bulleted form here:

Chapter 1: The People of Seth
  • (Anya112003): It's disturbing that Trump is cracking down on anti-Semitism.
The Birth of Israel
  • Mainstream historians recount the Omrides dynasty creating Israel in northern Palestine at the end of the tenth century BCE. In 842 BCE, the general Jehu took over Israel, and it's said that he was the one who made Yahweh popular in there. This god resembled the war-like features of the Assyrian god, Assur.
    • Israel suffered at the defeat by the Assyrians, driving them south in Judea. They swore to retake the northern lands under the banner of Yahweh. The book of Isaiah codified these sentiments, aiming to make Zion the center of the world.
  • (Mari): According to Laura this story of Solomon and David is rewritten from Omri and Ahab. In the Bible, Ahab marries Jezebel, who was Phoenician.
  • (Bluefyre): Yahweh is depicted here as a psychopath searching for conquest.
  • (Mari): Shares Session 13 May 2023:
    (mkrnhr) Is Yahweh an example of a 4D entity taking the role of an "egregore”?
    A: Yes.
    Click to expand...
  • (Turgon): Fear and Loathing in New Jerusalem by Cooper - covers the Palestine conflict and how the British helped establish Israel. Israel then turns its back on the British by attacking them.

Ezra the Proto-Zionist
  • Deuteronomic history consists of the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel I & II, and Kings I & II, which recounts the history of Israel from Moses to Josiah. The author calls the ideological mold of Deuteronomy as Yahwism or Yahwistic in nature.
    • In line with Deuteronomic ideology, Ezra and Nehemiah sought to bring about rule by a caste of priests along with a weak king (or none at all).
  • (Bluefyre): I wonder if the portal in the Middle East was as active as it is now.
  • (Mari): The fundies are rooting for the Zionists so the second coming can come so Jews will either be destroyed or convert to Christianity. It's like a trickery on both sides, pitting them against one another. It's from Laura's "Most Dangerous Cult of the World".

Hasmonean Literary Production
  • The Maccabean revolution was a civil war between two Jewish factions: the Ioudaismoi who sought integration with gentile customs, and the Hellenismoi who didn't want to.
    • The Maccabees took control of Judea and created the Hasmonean dynasy that lasted for many decades up until 63 BCE. They were on a warpath absorbing other regions in the area and converting them to the cult of Yahweh in Jerusalem.
    • (Turgon): I wonder if Judas Maccabeus is similar to the renegade Judas as written in Laura's From Paul to Mark.
      • (Mari): It says 167 BC, so it could be an ancestor of this Judas that Josephus speaks of?
      • (Bluefyre): They made a movie about the Maccabee revolt, which I think it was against the Roman empire.
  • The Book of Jubilees is described to be text of Hasmonean propaganda that reaffirms the supranational destiny of Israel. This being Yahweh's promise to Abraham where essentially he will give to Israel the entire Earth and let them rule it forever.
  • One month before Easter, the Jews celebrate Purim, which is a celebration of the triumph of the imaginary story Ester for the Jews.
    • The Greek version of Ester tells a story of a plan by Xerxes planning to implement a "final solution" against the jews, stating they have a penchant to venomously harm entire nations and peoples. The king is then seduced by the Jewish Ester, who manages to convince the king to instead destroy the enemies of the jews (Haman and his ten sons in this case). Later on, the Jews would extend this towards Christians--enemies of their people.
    • The stories of Joseph and Daniel follow a similar pattern where Jews become close advisors to kings and slyly reap benefits for Jews as a whole at the expense of the people they pretend to serve. They siphon their money and resources and enslave them in debt.
  • There's evidence that the Torah wasn't as old as the Jews claim it was.
    • (Bluefyre): The Cs mentioned Greek enforcers--I wonder how it links with all this.

The Am-EU group finished chapter 1 and the first subchapter of chapter 2 of Laurent Guyénot's From Yaweh to Zion on March 23rd, led by Luis.

I've also attached the mind map below in both PNG & PDF form. For readability, I've also printed the mind map in bulleted form here:

Chapter 1: The People of Seth
  • Kenites, Midianites, and Arabs
    • The scholar, Hyam Maccoby hypothesizes that the Cain & Abel story are linked to real groups among the early Hebrews. The legend is distilled to explain the origin of a nomadic lifestyle through the sin of an ancestor. The sin being the symbolic killing of Abel by his older, jealousy-ridden, brother Cain.
      • Genesis 4:19-24 describes the descendants of Cain to be nomadic iron-workers, which match the description of the Kenite tribe. It's said that they're a tribe among the Midianites. It may be so that the Cain and Abel story was inspired by the Kenites' legend.
      • The nomadic, wandering lifestyles of the tribes part of northern Arabia are linked to Cain and Judaic/Yahwistic tradition as a whole.
      • Originally for the tribes, Yahweh was constrained to Mt. Horeb until Moses came around and became the middle-man between Yahweh and the other tribes. When Moses plans to settle in Canaan, the new Promised Land, he attempts to convince the Midianites to join him and the Israelites so that they may share in Yahweh's blessings. They refused and became the Hebrews' most hated enemies (recounted in Numbers 31).
    • (RedFox): The sevenfold vengeance of scripture reminds me of the term seven ways from Sunday to get back at you.
    • (Mari): Laura writes about circumcision being the mark of Cain.
    • (Luis): The founders of the Aztec nation also were in search of their promised land. They eventually found it and became known for their vicious rituals (i.e. human sacrifice) and conquering.
      • (RedFox): The practice of human sacrifice is still happening today, with their bombing of the Palestinians.
      • (Redrock12): Read on SOTT that the UK wants to bring the draft back. In a way, this is also human sacrifice.
      • (RedFox): Lots of people are waking up, I doubt that people will voluntarily be drafted.

  • Cain and Abel as mirror images of Seth and Osiris
    • In the Cain & Abel story, there's a third child of Adam & Eve named Seth. He was the one to replace Abel after his death. The Bible shows little difference between the descendants of Cain and Seth and are likely one in the same.
    • The Egyptian story of the brothers Osiris and Seth mirrors that of the Cain and Abel story. The older brother Cain is given fertile land to cultivate like Osiris, while the younger Abel has to live as a nomad due to inheriting barren lands like Seth. Abel attracts the ire of Cain after Yahweh favors him instead and results in Abel being killed. In the Egyptian lore, the jealousy of Seth and his resulting vendetta against Osiris is spurred on by the latter being given this fertile land.
    • It seems Yahwist scribes intentionally reversed the Egyptian myth by shifting the good role to the younger brother Abel, and naming his replacement the same as the jealous, psychopathic Egyptian god Seth.
    • It's said that Hellenistic Egyptians noted that the Jews had a sympathy for Seth, which fueled their Judeophobia. Plutarch mentions that some Egyptians believed that after Seth was banished by the gods, he wanders into Palestine and had two sons, Hierosolymos (Jerusalem) and Youdaios (Judah). The translations seem to indicate that they saw the Jews as "sons of Seth".

  • Osirism versus Judaism
    • For Egyptians, Osiris represents harmony and unity, while Seth is synonymous with discord and division.
      • Could Seth be Yahweh? The Torah reveals that Yahweh used to be known as El Shaddai (Genesis 17:1, Exodus 6:3-3), which translates to "the destroyer god".
      • Both Yahweh and Seth have the same murderous jealousy that's been a dominating part of their characters. Exodus 34:14 names Yahweh as the "Jealous One".
    • (Luis): What makes someone associate with discord and chaos?
      • (RedFox): A lot of it likely has to do with 4D STS. Some naturally resonate with discord and chaos.
      • (Mari): Reminds me of Harrison's article on Stalin and his sloped forehead, signifying a stunted prefrontal cortex.
      • (Mari): Brigitte Macron has similar facial features to a neanderthal woman

Chapter 2: The Theoclastic God
  • Jealousy and Narcissistic Hubris
    • There's much mention of Yahweh as the "Jealous One" in the Torah. He asks for the destruction of any perceived rival cults and holy places. This is to stop the influence of other divine beings on people, and to foster contempt for others not following their ways. In contrast, the Egyptian gods collaborate with one another to manage human affairs and the cosmos at large.
    • Nations in the ancient world (third millennium BCE onward) built stronger international relations with each other by finding commonality between their gods. For example, the sun god for each nation were seen as the same entity, despite differences in their stories.
      • Egyptologist Jan Assmann concludes that the polytheisms of the ancient, great civilizations are cosmotheisms in that the gods form the body of the world/cosmos. Naturally this leads to inclusion and convergent monotheism that teach "that all gods are one, as the cosmos is one."
      • This unifying effort is not seen with Yahweh, as the religion offers its own take on monotheism that is based on exclusion and violent supremacism.
    • Yahweh started out as a minor tribal god that demanded worship, but didn't deny the existence of other gods (monolatry). The accolades of El, the universal God/High God that was known before Yahweh, was grafted onto the latter to complete its transformation from monolatry to monotheism.
    • The Jews have their own divine commandments that they follow, which are not rooted in natural reality and man's duty to another. This contributes to their tendency to not assimilate with gentile cultures.
    • (Mari): The "fires from heaven" line reminds me of Laura's writing of meteoric bombardment at that time. Maybe it was with the help of this that strengthened Yahweh in the minds of many.

General
  • (Luis): WEF is pushing for the digital euro. Some economists are pushing for it to come in October, but with all the pushback from the people, that remains uncertain.
    • (RedFox): Germans love to use cash and smoke.
  • (Luis): The CIA wanted sections mentioning Israel to be redacted. Trump goes ahead and publishes it unredacted anyway.
