The substacker Mr E. has an incredible grasp on many things and perhaps some are even important.
I take him to task not on the depth of his knowledge, which is mind boggling, but on his ultimate (but never quite stated) vantage point on them. It is, in short, reactionary Christian.
So it's not surprising I can go over Mr. E's facts (which many are) and reach essentially the opposite conclusions. His essays make great raw material for me, simply turned around from his viewpoint to mine.
In his incredibly lengthy two part series on The Taxil Hoax, which started with the above linked article, Mr E concludes that at the bottom of all the evil and corruption in our world is...Canaanites! Not Jews, not Freemasons (as Taxil had claimed, but only as a hoax*), but the ones their God told Hebrews to avoid and worse...the Canaanites (by whom he means specifically the Phoenecians).
Turning this right around as I now know to do, it's easy to see who this implicates, including the Freemasons.
Though not quite like that. The reality is that the Phoenician Canaanites, and their polysexuality, were not unique. That kind of thing was basically the norm, I would think, since before history. Mr E likes to show that Phoenicians were everywhere (even the Americas) spreading their evil doctrines, but the likelihood is quite the reverse, that the polysexuality Mr E so denigrates was basically everywhere to begin with.
The revolution against that polysexuality actually started in ancient Iran (Persia was what the Greeks called it) with Zoroaster. Monotheism.
Hence the (myth of?) Abraham, and the Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) which preoccupy over half of the world's population, and others who are dominated by them.
Jews picked that up from the Iranians who released them from captivity, and the greater Iranian culture their second temple was built within (and funded by).
In the Jewish version (copied by later Abrahamics) the Jews and their ways were favored by God over the wicked "amoral" (polysexual and polytheistic) Canaanites (actually kind of representative of most peoples...prior to the Abrahamic religions), so the Israelites easily conquered and eliminated them.
That's the tradition Mr E follows in, probably as a reactionary Christian of some kind.
Turning it around, monotheism and rigid (patriarchal) monogamy (elites were allowed a continuation of polygyny only) were the thought virus thrust upon the world by the self described followers of Abraham, which then made their (evil) mark because they aided in the raising of a local militia (by which the Hebrews may have conquered Canaanite cities), then ultimately imperial expansion and control in the west and middle east, ultimately leading to today's problems. (Actually, a long standing thesis of mine, but also supported by Mr E's facts simply turning his vantage point upside down.)
*There continue to be believers in Taxil's works on Freemasonry. When he announced that it was all a hoax, the audience was enraged, and police escorted him out. He moved away from Paris and died a decade later. It all makes me wonder...was he blackmailed into giving this "confession"? Why else would he have done it?
