Ingraham On the Cover ± The Little Tower of Babel, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen © "In nations which have made a false commencement, it would be found that the citizen, or rather the subject, has extorted immunity after immunity, as his growing intelligence and importance have both instructed and required him to defend those particular rights which were necessary to his well-being. A certain accumulation of these immunities constitutes... the essence of European Liberty, even at this hour. It is scarcely necessary to tell the reader that this freedom, be it more or less, depends on a principle entirely different from our own. Here the immunities do not proceed from, but they are granted to the government, being, in other words, concessions of natural rights made by the people to the state, for the benefit of social protection. So long as this vital difference exists between ourselves and other nations, it will be vain to think of finding analogies in their institutions. The mildest and justest governments in Europe are, at this moment, theoretically despotisms." James Fenimore Cooper The Bravo 1 Preface This is a book about Empire. In one sense, its main focus is on the modern manifestation of Empire, i.e., the misunderstood Anglo-Dutch System, which was born in the late 16th century, and came into maturity between 1688-1763. That empire is still very much with us today. In another sense, this book deals with the basic question of the nature of Empire itself, not any particular empire, but the ongoing oligarchical idea of Empire. Most people today think of empires as something of the past. Were that only true, the world presently would be in a much happier condition. Whether you realize it or not, the issue of Empire, and the human race's long struggle to free itself from Empire is the most critical political concern facing us today. We are currently confronted with a profound economic and strategic crisis, and defeating the current schemes of the Empire is now a matter of life or death for humanity. Much of this book is very detailed, with names and places that may not be familiar to many. I urge you to be patient, and to work your way through the material. The sections on Rome, Salamanca, John Locke, Empiricism, and banking may seem tedious, but hopefully, when you are finished, you will understand that Empire is the mortal enemy of humanity, and that the historical mission of the United States is to eliminate that enemy once and for all. * * * * * Virtually all modern academically-approved histories are incompetent. That statement will probably provoke some PhD recipients to dismiss the following work out of hand, but there are two legitimate reasons for making such a claim. The first reason is the pervasive failure of accredited American, as well as European, historians to appreciate the profound importance of the American Revolution, and the axiomatic species-difference between the American constitutional republic and the British Empire, a difference which persists down to the present day. The evidence of this failure is perhaps most glaring in the almost universal inability, or unwillingness, to distinguish between the American methods of national banking and the constitutional issuance of currency, contrary to the European system of private central banking. The second failure of modern historians is the almost universal contamination of historical analysis with a mechanistic-fatalist approach. This latter flaw is particularly obvious with Marxist, as well as various neo/pseudo-Marxist types, but the same condemnation can be made of the Chicago and Vienna schools© incompetent view of impersonal ªmarket forces.º Philosophically, the followers of both Marx and Von Hayek, as well as their many and varied derivatives, are identical in their empirical-mechanistic methodology. In truth, the subject of history is Man, yet the university libraries are satiated with history books, which evade the most basic obvious question: What is man©s nature which sets him apart from the lower beasts, allows him to create both science and great symphonies, and to increase his mastery over the planet? Or to put it more plainly, what is it about man that allows him to even hypothesize about human history, since monkeys, donkeys and whales have no such capability? How can anyone write a competent history of mankind, without even addressing that question? How does one understand Man©s history, and the long periods of progress, and retrogression which have characterized it, unless one starts with the fundamental question: What does it mean to be human? The literary journals are full of articles, written by university professors who write like bad-imitation Joe Fridays: ªJust the Facts.º But in reality, such factuality produces lies, because of what it leaves out. This problem has become much worse with the advent of the so-called ªinformation society,º a false reality in which real history is butchered by the ªfact-checkersº of Wikipedia, and their ilk. This book does not pretend to be a ªhistory of the human race from beginning to end,º nor does it 2 make any claims of profundity in the realms of science or philosophy, but, if we return to the question, ªWhat is it in Man©s nature which sets him apart from the lower beasts?,º as we work our way through the history and nature of the Anglo-Dutch Empire, hopefully some glimmers of understanding will come forth. The subject of this work is the millenia-long struggle of the human race to free itself from Empire: to free itself politically, economically, culturally, and morally. Not from any particular empire, such as the Ottomans or the Persians, but from the continuing ontological reality of an ongoing oligarchical idea of Empire, the which, continues to infest this world in our 21st century. The specific focus at hand is the modern Anglo-Dutch System of empire, because that is the one we are currently threatened by. The majority of this writing will concentrate on how this monstrosity came into existence and consolidated its power. Hence the years from 1582 to 1763 will require most of our attention. However, the rise of Venetian power after 1100, as well as the 19th and 20th centuries© British targeting of the American Republic, will also be examined, but not with the same depth of historical detail. The specific structures of the Anglo-Dutch System have evolved over time, but the axiomatic nature of the modern oligarchical empire was complete by 1763. My purpose here is to report on the origins of that Anglo-Dutch System, and to provide insight into its evil nature. Human voluntarism All of recorded human history encompasses a centuries-long fight between those who view man as a noble creature, as Genesis says: ªmade in the Creator©s image,º versus the oligarchic view of man as a beast, expendable, a ªworthless wretch.º All human progress has emanated from champions of the first view; empires result from proponents of the second view. To be clear, this is not a connect-the- dots conspiracy theory of history; this is a question of axiomatic views as to the

  • 2010 Unesco Jahr Von Marko Antun De Dominis
    IDSTEIN 29.09.2010 Idsteiner Mittwochsgesellscaft Ausländerbeirat der Stadt Idstein Kroatische Kulturgemeinschaft Wiesbaden e. V. 2010 UNESCO JAHR VON MARKO ANTUN DE DOMINIS 450-Jahrestag der Geburt von Marko Antun de Dominis, Philosoph und Wissenschaftler (ܐ1560 -†1624) Marko Antun de Dominis spielte in der intellektuellen Welt an der Wende vom 16. Jh. zum 17. Jh. eine wichtige Rolle auf dem Gebiet der Naturwissenschaften und Theologie. Er war Bischof von Senj und später Erzbischof von Split. Sein Amt bestimmte der Konflikt zwischen zwei Interpretationen des Christentums und der Lehre von Christus, was mit der Frage der Kirchenorganisation und nicht seltenen dem Missbrauch der Kirchenherrschaft und eben der Päpste verbunden war. Er versuchte einen Weg zu finden, um die zukünftige europäische Religionstrennung und Konflikte wie z.B. den Dreißigjährigen Krieg zu verhindern. Wenn man nur diesen Aspekt in Betracht zieht, kommt man zur Erkenntnis der Größe einer solchen Persönlichkeit. Marko Antun de Dominis (1560 -1624) war auch ein der Pioniere in der Physikforschungen, auf dem Gebiet der Optik und der Lichtbrechung. Auf diesem Gebiet veröffentlichte er im Jahr 1611 unter dem Titel: “Tractatus de radiis visus et lucis, perspectivis et iride” eine epochale Wissenschaftsarbeit, die einen großen Einfluss auf die zukünftige Forschungen der Optik hatte. Diese Wissenschaftsarbeit wurde später von Isaac Newton gepriesen und auch zitiert. Aber uns interessieren die historischen und theologischen Fragen im Rahmen des Dialogs zwischen Katholizismus und Protestantismus, denn die Hauptcharakteristik Europas an der Wende vom 16. zum 17. Jh. war die Religionstrennung zwischen dem europäischen katholischen Süden und dem protestantischen Norden. Marco Antonio de Dominis alias Jesuitenseminar in Padua ging Marco jedoch auf seiner Arbeit in Padua.

  • The Historic Episcopate
    THE HISTORIC EPISCOPATE By ROBERT ELLIS THOMPSON, M.A., S.T. D., LL.D. of THE PRESBYTERY of PHILADELPHIA PHILADELPHIA tEfce Wtstminmx pre** 1910 "3^70 Copyright, 1910, by The Trustees of The Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sabbath School Work Published May, 1910 <§;G!.A265282 IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACADEMIC USAGE THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE PRESIDENT, FACULTY AND TRUSTEES OF MUHLENBERG COLLEGE IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF HONORS CONFERRED PREFACE The subject of this book has engaged its author's attention at intervals for nearly half a century. The present time seems propitious for publishing it, in the hope of an irenic rather than a polemic effect. Our Lord seems to be pressing on the minds of his people the duty of reconciliation with each other as brethren, and to be bringing about a harmony of feeling and of action, which is beyond our hopes. He is beating down high pretensions and sectarian prejudices, which have stood in the way of Christian reunion. It is in the belief that the claims made for what is called "the Historic Episcopate" have been, as Dr. Liddon admits, a chief obstacle to Christian unity, that I have undertaken to present the results of a long study of its history, in the hope that this will promote, not dissension, but harmony. If in any place I have spoken in what seems a polemic tone, let this be set down to the stress of discussion, and not to any lack of charity or respect for what was for centuries the church of my fathers, as it still is that of most of my kindred.

  • Universalist Aspirations of the Utraquist Church
    194 Zdeněk V. David Universalist Aspirations of the Utraquist Church Zdeněk V. David (Washington, D.C.) An important legacy of Utraquism to the subsequent Czech political culture was its universalist outlook. This conclusion may appear paradoxical consider - ing that the national accent seemed so strong in the Bohemian Reformation and especially during the Bohemian religious wars. Such an assumption of national exclusivity led to the mistaken view that the Bohemians might be sat - isfied with an exceptional ecclesiastical status, as Rome saw it at the Council of Basel in 1434-1436 and in the issuance of a special privilege of the lay chalice for the Bohemians by Pope Pius IV in 1564. These tactics of appeasement, however, failed. They ignored the basic fact that the Bohemians’ goal was to reform the (Western) Church as a whole. In the eyes of the Utraquists, the purpose of the Czech nation was not to assert a peculiar set of ethnically grounded beliefs, but to serve as a vehicle for the realisation of a universal purpose. Subsequently, this outlook harmonised with the cosmopolitan character of the Enlighten - ment and eventually with that of political liberalism. In an earlier article, I discussed the Utraquist legacy of liberal ecclesiology. 1 In this paper the Utraquists’ universalism is treated in terms of their contin - ued, albeit qualified, attachment to the Roman Church, as well as their rela - tionship to other groups that sought to reform the entire scope of Western Christendom along the lines of liberal Catholicism. 2 This essay also seeks to answer the charges that the Utraquists’ ambition to reform the Church of Rome revealed signs of sycophancy, quixotic idiosyncrasy, and megalomania in their actions.

  • Georg Calixtus and the Humanist Tradition
    Georg Calixtus and the Humanist Tradition Christian Thorsten Callisen Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) Finsia Postgraduate Certificate in Business USQ Research Students Centre Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) 2010 i Keywords Georg Calixtus (1586–1656); Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614); humanism; ars historica; consensus antiquitatis; calixtine theology; irenicism; Renaissance; history of ideas; early modern Europe ii Abstract Georg Calixtus (1586–1656) was a Lutheran theologian, prominent in the German lands during the first half of the seventeenth century. Existing research focuses on Calixtus‘ contributions to religious and theological debates, particularly in regard to his role in the Syncretistic Controversy of the latter half of the seventeenth century, and in regard to his unique position as a Lutheran who aspired to reunion between the different Christian confessions. This thesis problematises this focus on Calixtus by theologians and ecclesiastical historians, and argues that the genesis and transmission of his ideas cannot be fully appreciated without considering his relationship with the broader intellectual milieu of early modern Europe. It does this by exploring Calixtus‘ interaction with the humanist tradition, in particular by reconsidering his relationship with Isaac Casaubon (1559–1614), and by exploring his work in light of intellectual movements that were taking place outside the Christian church. In so doing, this thesis argues that Calixtus made contributions to early modern thought that have been overlooked in the existing literature. It also becomes apparent that much research remains to be done to gain a more accurate picture of his place in the early modern intellectual landscape, and of his legacy to later generations of scholars.

Silvia De Renzi Medical competence, anatomy and the polity in seventeenth-century Rome Silvia De Renzi In April 1624, while walking in the Vatican gardens, Pope Urban VIII was entertained by a small group discussing the latest startling natural phenom- enon, a two-headed calf. With the pontiff were his secretary, his theologian and two physicians, Johannes Faber and Giulio Mancini. A few days before, Faber had received the calf from the Cardinal Nephew and, having dissected it in front of students at his home, now presented his drawings to the pope.1 Five months later, by papal order, Mancini called Faber to attend the autopsy of Marco Antonio De Dominis. One of the tragic figures of the Counter- Reformation, De Dominis had died in jail after controversially recanting his heretical views. Rumours of poisoning soon circulated and an autopsy was ordered, but the doctors judged it a natural death.2 These episodes tend to appear in unrelated historical accounts. De Dominis’ demise, including the subsequent burning of his corpse, has been explored by religious historians discussing ill-fated instances of reform in the Catholic Church.3 Historian of science Paula Findlen has analysed the con- versation on the two-headed calf as an example of how, by becoming courtly displays, natural investigations gained unprecedented importance in the early modern period.4 In neither account has the presence of physicians been remarked.

    A special report from the Australian Alert Service If the reader has heard of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China, it is likely through lurid news media head- lines about the alleged abuse and enslavement of its Uyghur ethnic inhabitants. The November 2020 – March 2021 Aus- tralian Alert Service series of eight articles assembled here, with an appendix of related material from the AAS, demys- tifies what is going on in and around Xinjiang, and why. We expose the Anglo-American fostering of terrorism in Xinjiang and sponsorship of “East Turkistan” separatism. Part 1. East-West gateway on the Silk Road The ancient Silk Road crossed the mountains and deserts of the The Great Game and area of central Eurasia that is today’s Xinjiang Region in China. Mackinder’s ‘Heartland’ In the 19th century, the doctrine of geopolitics arose from the From Silk Road to Land-Bridge British Empire’s “Great Game” struggle to dominate this region and keep Russia from approaching India. Sun Yat-sen, the The new Great Game father of modern China, envisioned a better future through The Xinjiang fulcrum railway development, an outlook incoporated into President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative today. Part 2.

In 1610 he observed the heavens with the newly invented telescope- mountains and craters of the moon, moons of Jupiter, many stars never seen before; later the phases of Venus; sunspots. These observations supported his belief that the Copernican (Heliocentric) system was correct, i.e. that the Sun was the center of the Universe; the planets including earth revolved around it. This was in direct contrast to the Ptolemaic-Aristotelian (Geocentric) System which was 1500 years old at the time. Galileo’s Copernican view was also in conflict with the Christian interpretation of Holy Scripture. Because of the Counter Reformation Catholic theologians took a literal interpretation of the Bible. Galileo was investigated by the Inquisition in 1615 and warned not to defend the Copernican view.
