Thanks people for your coming by every day to check out what’s being said on fyr.

Now that you’re beginning to know enough to decide your fate as post modern prehistoric representatives of the Homo juchremanensis species, wouldn’t it be cool to start telling the unfortunately too many who have not yet attained your level of self-knowledge  they could try and upgrade theirs by reading Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle)?

… Unless they’ve decided to go on relying on a survival instinct which dinosaurs also possessed.

Happy Easter vacations to all !!!

Psychotic reluctance

Matthew’s Gospel 18:3

“And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven”

Regarding the term “children” as applied to the faithful, S. Freud (whose “Moses and Monotheism” we heartily recommend for further reading) explains that whereas in pre-existing civilizational/religious schemes, the entity referred to as « people » was nothing more than a reservoir of cheap labor needed to swell the ranks of armies and build all manner of monuments to the glory of their material/spiritual masters, with Moses it is suddenly turned into an under-aged offspring who needs to be educated.

Now, as natural as it may seem to « educate » an actual “child” – if only to pass on to him the means to survive in a potentially dangerous world – the training of adult “children”, when strictly not a professional affair, is bound to raise eyebrows. Some nasty conspiracy theorists go so far as to call it “brainwashing”.

Whatever you think of it, in the year of grace +2025, you only have to switch on any cultural television/radio program to hear some most learned intellectual, often well into old age, utter in a suddenly strangely childlike voice, full of awed tenderness, a “my daddy used to say this” or “my mom would do that”, to get an idea of Homo juchremanensis’ truly psychotic reluctance to assume adult status. May you rest in peace, uncle Sigmund!

 

Why not read  Homo juchremanensis (epub/kindle) and try adulthood for a change ?

“It is therefore important for boys to go to maktab (elementary school) at an early age, when learning resembles carving in stone.”

Al-Ghazāli (1058-1111)

“What about girls?”

Anonymous

 

– Teacher, where are Mom and Dad?

– At work. Making money.

– What for?

– To pay off the loan on the car that takes you to your free, compulsory, secular school every morning.

– What’s going to school for, teacher?

– Come on, child! To race for points with your friends to be sure! Just like on ‘Family Feud’, ‘Wheel of Fortune’, ‘Split Second’ or ‘Jeopardy!’ But enough chit-chat! Get out your math exercise books – the most important class as you know, if only to work out the loan interests on Dad’s car, Mom and Dad’s house, your higher education costs, Grandma and Grandpa’s pensions and aftercare, and so on and so forth. Write carefully: “Knowing that, out of the 24 hours allotted to them by their connected watches, 8 hours are devoted to work, 1/2 hour to lunch break, 2 hours to transport + 3 hours to TV/social networks/Zineflix series, and knowing on the other hand that a child needs 10 hours sleep a day, how much time do his/her parents have left to fulfill their parents duties?” I pick up the papers in 5 minutes!

– What’s “parents duties”, teacher?

– Say… explain to their children how to make more money than the people next-door… How to get a bigger car than them…

– Teacher… What else is there in life apart from making money?

– “Apart from… ” Learning not to ask silly questions, that’s what there is!!! Now you get down to work!

– Teacher ! It’s Britney, she says that her parents are unempl…

– Britney!!! You’ll copy me a hundred times: “I’m not supposed to swear in class”. As for your “parents”- if they still deserve the name – they should be ashamed of themselves for forcing other parents to work overtime to subsidize their pitiful lives! By the way, dear, no need to come prowling around the canteen at lunchtime anymore ! Our beloved Leader – long live him and his revered ass – has made the wise and courageous decision to stop feeding the children of unemp…

– Teacher!!!

Eat and be satisfied

When – a couple of years ago – I started documenting the almost three-thousand-year-old three headed domination-based culture I chose to call “Juchreman” (home-grown neologism derived from the French words “Juif”= Jew, “Chrétien”= Christian and “Musulman”= Muslim), I was miles away from guessing just to what extent my little book would prove in touch with the times.

As a starter there is this Deuteronomy, 15:6 – “ For the Lord, your God, has blessed you, as He spoke to you, and you will lend to many nations[…] and you will rule over many nations[…]” – which explains so much of the so-called global « debt crisis » that’s getting worse and worse.

What comes next is much more unbearable to any civilized soul: “To the woman He said, « […] to your husband will be your desire, and he will rule over you. ».”(Genesis 3 :16) and “[…] the head of the woman is man” (1Corinthians 11:3) and “men have been provisioned by Allah over women” (Koran, An-Nisa’). On these basis, in 2023, “around 51,100 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners” while “more than 640 million women aged 15 and older (26 %) were subjected to intimate partner violence”.  (UN Women facts and figures).

And now, when he isn’t losing his Holy Tariff war, see how the Revd D. Trump turns real estate developer to help one of the ugliest war criminals of all time (and a crook to boot) carry out the designs of the Eternal One : 10. “And it will be, when the Lord, your God, brings you to the land He swore to your fathers[…]to give you, great and good cities that you did not build, 11. and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you will eat and be satisfied.” (Deuteronomy 6).

Around the year 000, apart from the twelve officially listed tribes of Israel, there are dozens of competing Jewish sects that more or less conform to the precepts of the Torah. It is this “more or less” that irritates the Eternal One. One fateful morning, having got up on the wrong side of the bed, He instructs Moses to pass on to his former darlings the program of the rejoicings to come.

We have compiled a non-exhaustive list of these rejoicings for you. One of them relates to a founding element of the Abrahamic software. Guess which one!

Devarim (Deuteronomy), 28

22. “The Lord shall smite thee with consumption, fever, inflammation, scorching heat, parching, jaundice and gangrene, which shall pursue thee until thou perish.”

27. “The Lord will strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, hemorrhoids, scabies and ringworm, from which you cannot recover.

28. The Lord will strike you with delirium, blindness, wandering of the mind […]”

35. “The Lord will strike you in the knees and thighs with a malignant ulcer from which you cannot recover; he will strike you from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.”

43. “The stranger who will be in your midst will rise higher and higher above you, and you will sink lower and lower;

44. he will lend to you, and you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.”

61. “And even the Lord will bring upon you, until you are destroyed, all kinds of diseases and plagues that are not mentioned in the book of this law.”
