Cosmic Mountain’s Revenge
Lying is THE fundamental sin in Indo-European governance model, at least since 2,500 BCE.
⚡️In ancient Iranian religion, at the time of death, we approach Chinvat bridge.
Chinvat is guarded by Daenā.
If Daenā appears as a beautiful woman, we will pass into the eternal heavenly House of Songs.
She brings the soul of the righteous human over the cosmic mountain safely.
The souls of those who have lived evil lives will be attacked by the witch and will fall as demons into the dark, cold ravine, or “House of Lies” that is Hell.
If the bridge narrows as we approach it to the width of a sword blade and Daenā is a witch, we shall spend eternity in the hellish House of Lies…
I was a living character in the daily re-enactment of one or other of these stories. Arriving there each morning, I could never be sure which version the Russians had scripted for the day.
Amid the trolling artillery and mortar duels that could erupt any time in the one-and-a-half-mile stretch of roadway that ran through no-man’s land to and from the river, I was always on the lookout for Daenā.
Some days the Russian army bridge trolls would manifest seductive charm. At other times they epitomized demonic witches with their proud boasts about how they had, overnight, dispatched Ukrainian soldier giants to the House of Lies.
Some days the fates assigned me a walk-on part as one of the first two manipulative Billy Goats who manage to negotiate safe passage through the checkpoints of bridge-guarding Russian army trolls.
Sometimes, I found myself in the role of Solomon, accidentally invoking the right formula of words to dissuade the Russian army bridge trolls from devouring Ukrainian civilians.
Nobody would voluntarily cross that infernal bridge. “Coercive control” describes Russia’s main governance technique perfectly[1].
Like an ultraviolent spouse or the evilest monarch imaginable, Russia conjured up a state of desperation inside its victims’ minds, usually through physical, economic, psychological, or sexual violence (and often all four).
Then, Russia would offer conditional access to a sub-standard escape route from the terror its own actions had wrought. As was the case for those unlucky enough to be forced into crossing the bridge, usually whichever “solution” Russia offered to the hateful predicaments it created for its victims itself involved running a gauntlet of one sort or another.
Russia would always look for credit for salving the pain it has caused. If any damsel Russia’s violent coercive control strategies had distressed had the temerity to refuse their persecutors’ proffered assistance, then Russia used that refusal as an excuse for further violence against its subjects.
Russia, as a state, attempted coercively to control Ukraine, by holding to ransom its people living in Russia-occupied Ukraine, the parts of its land it occupied, and by perverting the way other states perceived Ukraine. Russia, by violently and militarily occupying Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and threatening again and again to blow it up attempted coercively to control the whole continent of Europe…
For how this links to the bridge at Stanitsia Luhanska in eastern Ukraine where I worked as a diplomat for three years 2015-2018, see chapter one of Counter Disinfolklore - Controlling War Magic:
⚡️Iran has a history of lying leaders falling to their death.
In Iran's ancient Avesta:
"the reward of an ascent to heaven, preceding the sin, occurs during the reign and is no more than a voyage, conferring no permanent right to celestial residence and accorded by divine favor to the living Yima…
For a long time Yima holds the 'sovereign empire over all the lands,' and his reign, of untold prosperity, is protected by the *x'aranah, that mark of divine election which guarantees and expresses the legitimacy of a king.
But one day he commits a sin.
According to the single passage that mentions it in the remaining Avesta, the sin is lying: his extraordinary prosperity, Yast 19,33 says emphatically, lasted until 'he lied,' until he 'began to think the lying word, contrary to truth.'…
"I am the sovereign of the entire earth. What God is there beside me? The earth's creatures live through me, I am the God of all men."
When the aged dignitaries heard this speech, they remained confused, bent their heads, and no one understood the meaning of his speech. But when the words had been pronounced, the *x'aranah / authority / right abandoned Yima and passed into three others.”
Should we call Ancient Ukrainians the first Aryans?
️⚡️Lying-Pride is the single sin of the authoritarian.
Every Putin or populist speech you'll hear flickers between these two modes: Lies & Pride.
Lying-Pride violates Indo-European vision for a healthy society:
A head of state is charged with:
(1) Protecting an order founded on Truth, through supporting truthful rule (*Reg Right Pravyi) (Disinfolklore lies and masks the lies of a Sovereign undermining the order through lying and hacking the consent of subjects in a democracy:
); and
(2) Ruling with due regard to the superior sovereignty of International Law.
Since WWII's aftermath (to prevent a repeat of German Nazi crimes from 1932 onwards) domestic sovereignty is subject to universally applicable laws enshrined in Geneva, Genocide Conventions, et al.
Beware Anti-Woke, Anti-trans, Anti-Ukraine campaigns. These are all instruments for returning our civilisation to the social, legal, and political realities of 1930s Germany.
The sin of pride is committed when sovereigns think they can forcibly transfer three-hundred-thousand Ukrainian children into Ruschia in violation of International Law, during a war of aggression they started.
Disinfolklore embeds lies and covers up the lies of leaders.
Populations which surrender themselves to governments which use Disinfolklore to conceal their lies suffer calamities.
Ukraine's ongoing Revolution of Dignity prevented greater calamities even than what Ukraine is experiencing today.
Ukraine's resistance is an example of a people, led by a rightful sovereign, who are resisting the hacking of their sovereignty by Russia.
In Brexit England, the food supply & prosperity is affected by lies used to secure Brexit.
In Russia the calamities afflicting it will last decades after Ukraine (Russia's victim accord to Intl Law and three UN General Assembly resolutions in which only six states voted with Russia) is as rich as Solomon.
Disinfolklore worked for Russia while between 2014-2022 it prepared the ground for genocide by inventing the "Ukrainian Nazi" figure to deter support for Ukraine.
Now, the world understands the only Nazis in Ukraine are Ruschist Nazis.
