THE RENAISSANCE MYTH | 2013-09-16

I have said at length, in our age nothing changes faster than history.

After recent advances and discoveries the only reason people aren't laughing and pointing at historians is because The Silence covers the total idiocy that they preached just a generation back.

So, as I sort of predicted the Twin Towers and Obama and such things, let me tell you something else that will be the Zowie of writers at some future date.

We are taught that our forefathers never bathed and lingered in caves all through the Middle Ages, and then came The Renaissance.

We are taught that during this glorious Renaissance scholars discovered Classical Writers and, reading Aristotle and Galen and so forth, we began to emerge from the Caves of Darkness into the glorious New World that existed in the Middle East.

The above paragraph is an exact description of what my generation was taught. The only thing that shocks one is that I repeat it so baldly. It is such utter crap that the only way The Silence can ignore it is by never saying it.

The above is what Marxism and Modern Thought were all based on. It is what the New Black History is based on. All the Egyptians were "African," black-skinned, and everything came from Egypt.

But at the very moment they are recoloring the Egyptians, the whole history they are reciting, all came from Egypt, has been so discredited that The Silence cowers even mentioning it.

The historical WOW that will come is when the full implications of the Renaissance Myth are put together.

Not only did Western Civilization NOT come from discovering Classical Writings, but every single advance in our thought, from medicine to math to engineering, has had to beat down a solid wall of Galen's Medicine and Aristotle's bullshit.

Whites made Rome.

Rome did NOT make Whites.

The same is true with "race doesn't exist" thinking.

Whites made better societies, better technologies, better everything.

Better societies, technologies, strategies, etc did NOT just coincidentally "happen" every land White people went to.

If Classical writings made better societies, we would NEVER have heard about them. Classical writings would be top secret; governments would NEVER let an enemy or rival read these "instructions to a better society".

Similarly, if democracy made a country rich, powerful, first-world; democracy would be THE single most protected secret in the world.

Who in their right mind would help a weaker competing country become stronger (more of a threat)?

I think everyone here knows what, or actually WHO, makes a good country.

But wasn't there a period before the Middle Ages, the so-called Dark Ages, that appears to be an actual period of decline?

Doesn't the evidence show there was something like a collapse of the Roman Empire in the West? Cows were smaller for generations, I believe human skeletons were shorter, there was a sudden lack of consumer goods (like pots) that had been abundant.

And there seems to be a real lack of knowledge about that period for several centuries (well maybe that contradicts what I just said above!). What we do know seems to point to a drastic collapse in the standard of living.

It sure seems like progress stopped for centuries, at least until the Middle Ages. If it did, I don't think it was stopped by bad philosophy or by Christianity or any of the other Culture-Only arguments we hear. It wouldn't have lasted that long.

If there was a collapse that lasted that long, it had to be something bad happening to the core Roman population. Well, that is just a guess.

Jason, when every empire collapses, everyone is hit by it, there would be economic problems, and lower living standards all over. (This is simply supply and demand).

But there would still be White people in other countries, so there would still be advances made, it would just be slower - until civilisation gained momentum again.

It's called the "Dark Ages" because there is little surviving remains of that era, but there was plenty of remains of Roman civilisation.

The point is that self-styled intellectuals said there was NO progress made, because they couldn't read about it.

Self-styled intellectuals read the only thing available to be read: Classical texts from Rome, Greece, the Middle East. So they assumed those were the only civilisations that progressed...and that by reading their writings, they too could become more advanced.

Progress is literally a solution to a problem. To barbarians, the fall of Rome WAS progress. ;)

When someone lays on you some of the party line intellectualism, ask them to provide some proof, this kills them.

But our Contard trained intellectuals never, ever ask for proof because they have never outgrown their Mommy Prof undergrad mentality, they merely quibble the details (which are often right). So when Mommy Prof speaks to them, they obey.
