Essentially, the book represented thoroughly documented analogue of well-known “Protocols of Zion sages”. In the West the majority of those who heard about the “Protocols” are firmly and sincerely convinced, that they are just libellous forgery. And all mass media regularly return to the theme of proving of that they were counterfeit, if they have nothing more interesting to public. But however, I could remember not a single attempt of any popular edition to argue with the information of Epperson or that somebody tried to bring him to justice for his slander. It’s strange, isn’t it?
While I was reading and thinking about what I’ve read, the interconnection and mutual conditioning of the events which seemed independent from each other before. May be, it was for my certain mood, but I unintentionally was tracing the obvious analogy between the events of deep past and tragic events of present and I was coming to some conclusions for the future.
The book “The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail” was very like an absorbing detective story, though I found there, as well as in “The invisible hand”, plenty of interesting historical facts, of which I had only vague view before. The main idea of the book was that Jesus Christ didn’t die on the cross. The crucifixion was a performance, and after it he had been living yet for long years. And his descendants, “moving” to the territory of contemporary France, founded the dynasty of Merovings. And all following European history consists of conflict between Merovings and Pope, breaking some agreements. The aim of this struggle, as it could be seen from the book, is to raise the descendants of Christ from the descendants of Merovings to the thrones of the entire world states.
This can be considered strange, but the book mentioned the “Protocols” as well, but its authors insisted that it was inner document of Masonry lodge, defending Merovings and having a title of “Zion community”. After that the documents had got publicity outside it, and by the ignorance of those who possessed them, was associated with the congress of Zionists in Basel in 1897, where they say “the Zion sages” were in session. And because of this assonance: “ZION community” and “the congress of ZIONISTS” appeared a mistake, which lead many calamities of the 20th century. All this was rather convincingly rendered, if only… not to read those books together. But the examination of them both raised a question – how to deal with the information reported by R. Epperson.
If trying to appreciate in whole the signification of books I’ve read, I can say, that they showed me entirely the effect of those six generalized means of ruling, which I encountered reading the review on Z. Brzezinski “The Grand Chessboard”. After that I started to understand that for completing the excurse in global historical process I should come closer to its sources, and it means – to meet with history of ancient Egypt, because the events which took place there 4000 years ago somehow became the touchstone of the “Historical Picnic”.
In my home library there was a book by Sir James Henry Breasted “The history of Egypt”. In its fifth volume the 18th chapter was called “Religious revolution by Ehnaton”, and from it I learnt, that the tenth Pharaoh of XVIII dynasty (again – magic of numbers: 18th chapter about XVIII dynasty) Amenhotep IV rebelled against zhretses of ancient Amon-Ra cult, left the southern and the northern capitals of Egypt (Thebes and Memphis) and built new capital almost in the middle of the way from one to another – it was devoted to god Aton and was called Ahetaton (“Horizon of Aton”). After 17-years ruling of Ehnaton and 3-years ruling of his successor Smenhkar, who was the husband of Meritaton – the eldest daughter of Pharaoh – husband of the third Ehnaton’s daughter – nine-years-old boy Tutanhaton – ascended the throne. Amon’s zhretses didn’t reconcile with losing power of their cult, and they made Tutanhaton leave new capital and accept new name – Tutanhamon. I could see, that the report of the “Historical Picnic” authors about the struggle for the throne between Ehnaton and Tutanhamon, to put it mildly, had nothing in common with the reality, but “the struggle of two great party religions of gods Aton and Amon” perhaps took place indeed. It began not in times of Ehnaton’s ruling, but much earlier, and if, according to the authors of the “picnic”, this struggle lasts until today, it’s very important to understand the ideas of both opposite sides, why do they oppose each other for 4000 years? Studying the works of Breasted and other Egyptologists, I became more and more convinced that Ehnaton was the first who officially declared the idea of monotheism to the world. And moreover besides doing this, he started to teach people the norms of direct communication between each of them and God. But the hymns of Ehnaton turned out to be the most striking thing for me in the monograph of Breasted.
I had a feeling that I knew them before. But I couldn’t remember any literary source similar to this, until I returned to the period of my practice in Afghanistan. Well, of course, the hymns of Ehnaton made me remember the verses from Koran, with which I became acquainted before leaving for Pakistan and Afghanistan. I had to turn to the English translation of “Holy Koran” by Mulana Mohammad Ali, in edition of 1996. I can’t say that after I’ve read Koran I turned into true Muslim, but this book became real discovery for me. Yes, I was acquainted superficially with the Bible, and I considered any religious dogmas to be anachronisms of the culture, which have to be taken into consideration in decent society, but which are in effect senseless and can’t obligate a free person to do anything. And nevertheless, I wasn’t a convinced atheist in the contemporary sense of this word, for I considered communication with God as deeply private act. But even superficial acquaintance with Koran opened for me a wonderful truth: all prophets were given the same knowledge from Above about how to arrange human life on the Earth in the best possible way. And the person who is now known as Ehnaton, 17-years-old youth, was the first to record this knowledge. The fact, that this knowledge comes out from the same source, can be proved by simple comparison of texts of Ehnaton’s hymns and Koran. They are divided by 20 centuries, and still they contain not only the same ideas, but, what stuck me most of all, the texts has the same rhythmic. How it could happen – it’s beyond human understanding.
Events of the week went their own way. Last news issues didn’t show any more the debris of WTC; they were replaced by the reports about American bombings in Afghanistan; CNN and NBC started to mention about the acts of bio-terrorism in New York, Washington and Florida. Holmes called twice: once from Cairo, and then – from some Indian town with a hard-spelling name.
Part III. Holmes’s Investigation
September 22 – 27. Switzerland – Liechtenstein
(Zurich – Vaduz – Geneva)
The plane from London has arrived just in time. Holmes stood in queue to the passport control when an announcer informed of arrival of another plane from Frankfurt am Main. Soon a German speech sounded from an appeared second queue. Holmes automatically noted a stout person dressed in light-coloured coat and grey hat.
And what is interesting in that man? – Holmes thought, and caught that it was the newspaper clasped to fatty’s case that had roused his interest.
The paper was Russian and called “Izvestiya” (“Proceedings”), but Holmes really couldn’t understand why it had attracted him. While he reflected upon this, fatty in light-coloured coat entered the passport control cabin and Holmes lost him from his sight. Having received his luggage Holmes came out to the departure hall. He was trying to find his firm representative, when he saw that newspaper again. It was on a chair where stout man had left it instead of throwing it away to the rubbish bin. Stimulated by strange feeling of interest Holmes went to the chair, when someone called him.
Good afternoon, Mr. Holmes, my name is Louis Renier. Let me take your luggage.
Holmes stopped and shook hands with a tall slender man with a little silver lock in his raven-coloured hair.
I’m ready to drive you to your hotel, – thoroughly choosing English words he told to Holmes with a noticeable French accent, – And if you like, we can walk down the Old Zurich in the evening.
Holmes was nearly ready to follow Renier to the car, when he suddenly stopped.
Excuse me, Mr. Renier, one minute please.
He left his companion in perplexity, moved to that chair, took the Russian paper and put it into a pocket of his coat. He could hardly explain to astonished Renier why he had taken the paper written on a language not familiar to him. But his partner was a tactful person and didn’t ask any question but drove his London’s guest to the hotel, where the “Ernst & Young” firm had reserved a room for Holmes. Saturday’s evening and the whole Sunday Holmes spent in “Zurich dwarfs’” citadel. He walked down narrow streets and thought of the power that without an army and weapon had got world bankers. And why such luxury as neutrality is permitted to Switzerland? And why isn’t that country a member of the UN? Too much of questions…
At Monday a conversation in Zurich took place and it continued for the next day in Davos. Holmes thought of that not bad place, found by world money sharks. That small resort town has become the real Mecca of world largest financiers or, precisely, of those who thought that they were taking part in possessing the goals of world politics. On the back way to Zurich, Lois Renier suddenly suggested to visit Liechtenstein where, as he told, lived his last years a famous Russian arts patron and emigrant – count Pfanfaltz. He lived in the bounds of Vaduz – a centre of a tiny state; to which money from the whole world are injected only because it has proclaimed its territory free of fees. Nearly ten minutes they wandered the narrow streets full of tourists. Than the same time they drove down the serpentine-road and soon reached the gates of “Askania-Nova” – that was the name of count’s villa. A master was at home, that was a quite rare thing. Despite of his age he travelled much – he bought rarities of Old Russia and returned them to his motherland.
Over tea served by the count they told of last doings in America. Everyone was sure that the world had changed after it, and that there was not a country that hadn’t been inflected by this event in this or in that way. Holmes asked the count of Russia and it’s perspectives from the point of American tragedy. He kept silence for a minute looking over a landscape beyond a window and than got up and after an excuse went to his library. He returned with a thick yellow envelope. Imagine Holmes’s surprise when the count revealed the “picnics” that he had discussed with Watson two days before! By the Renier reaction Holmes found that he had seen this papers before too. Besides the familiar “picnics” there were some more documents in the envelope.
The count showed to Holmes copies of the first page of the paper “Trud” (“Labour”) #107 (19554) by May 9, 1985; the ninth page of the weekly “Argumenty i Fakty” (“Arguments and Facts”) #43 (836) by October of 1996 and the first page of “Chas Pick” #151 (880) by October 14, 1997.
Look, Mr. Holmes, don’t you find anything strange at these photos of superior leaders of Soviet Union?
Frankly speaking, if there weren’t that white arrow, marking the half-head of Gorbachev in “Arguments and Facts”, I wouldn’t notice it in “Trud”. But how do this pictures connected to the “picnics” and moreover to the tragedy of “black Tuesday”?
And here is the full photography of the first page of “Trud” by May 9, 1985:
The count settled back in his redwood armchair with an elegant carving and, refreshing in his memory pictures of the past, started his story, which made a grate noise in arts patrons’ society.
* * *
I found this package with “picnics” and copies of some other papers inside my letterbox at 17 of August in year 1998. I remember this date well because of the financial crisis in Russia reported by every television channel. Looking through the “picnics” I firstly thought that someone was trying to play a trick on me, since I never considered myself a specialist in solving riddles. But those, who had sent the package, obviously knew of my enthusiasm on paints and the first item I read was evidently the article about the restoration of Rembrandt’s “Danaë”. That pearl from the Hermitage collection had been nearly completely destroyed by one maniac on 15 of June 1985, only 37 days after the appearance of the sinister picture of General Secretary’s half-head in holiday’s essay of “Trud”. Many foreign specialists told that the paint couldn’t be restored. That maniac made two knife strikes and than threw a concentrated sulphuric acid grout to it. I remember, that when I had got know of that act of terrorism act against Rembrandt’s masterpiece I at first even fell ill because of high pressure. And that day I saw the Petersburg’s paper “Chas Pick” #151(880) by October 14 from which I got know that on the day festival of the Protection of the Virgin[34] the noticeable exhibition, called “‘Danaë’ – Rembrandt’s masterpiece’s destiny” was going to open. The paint had been restored, and I considered that event to have a mystical sense.
Mr. Holmes, you have asked if it is connected with “Trud’s” picture and with the “picnics” and moreover with the terrorism of 9.11 – that’s how does the day is written in Europe and America? I think that it is, but to explain this mystical relationship I need to remind the legend of Danaë and her son Perseus.
Danaë was a daughter of king of Argos – Acrisius, to whom the Delphi’s Oracle had predicted to be killed by his own grandson. Acrisius imprisoned his maiden daughter to an underground bronze tower to avoid such a destiny. But the Zeus, the Olympus’s Lord, became enamoured to her. He had reached her in a form of a golden rain, after what the futures hero of the ancient Greek mythology Perseus was born. Acrisius put his daughter and her son into a barrel and threw them to the sea. Great Pushkin has originally described the development of this myth in his “Tale of Tsar Sultan, his son Guidon and fair Princess Lebed’”, removing the tragic final from it. I consider that Pushkin tried to correct the catastrophes repeating scenario, which is peculiar to the whole so-called Christian culture. As you can remember the Danaë’s myth finishes too tragically for Acrisius. After a long journey and many great deeds Perseus had arrived to Argos to take part in the Olympic Games. There on a disk throwers competition he… снёс полбашни (these words the count said on Russian, though he generally told the story in English, so he retold quickly), sorry, pulled down a half of his grandfather’s head.
How do you think, Mr. Holmes, why one year before the “Chas Pick” reported of the restoration of the Rembrandt’s masterpiece in October 1996 one of the most wide read newspaper in Russia – “Arguments and Facts”, had carried back to the main symbol of “Danaë’s” myth?
I can hardly say anything and I would like to have a pleasure to hear your version.
I consider, – continued Pfanfaltz, – the real causes and sources of the “black Tuesday’s” tragedy couldn’t be explained from the defective materialistic or from equally defective idealistic point of view of modern average man. Yes, there of course was a terrorist plan, there were kamikaze-terrorists, but all of them including undercover scenarists were only the executors realizing some enveloping matrix-scenario, tracing its roots back to the distant past of the modern civilization, and moreover may be even the preceding – existing before the Flood – culture, which reflection we can see in ancient myths and legends. Symbolic and figurative part of these myths has incarnated in the cultural monuments on which many generations of great sculptors, artists, architects, composers, and also poets, writers, dramatists worked on.
As I see it, the world is one and indivisible, unified and complete, everything in the world is in cause-and-effect relationship. This may mean the only thing: any casual event comes as the casual only because we aren’t able to see the previous, the preceding events, and also the consequent events that are produced by this event.
The reorganization and cutting of the Russian Empire in its USSR bounds (named Perestroika) has begun under Gorbachev and that improper deed was immediately “casually” reflected in the mythological symbol – half-scull of “Perestroika-foreman” showed to more than 200 millions of Soviet people at the sacred day of nearly each Russian in the world – the Victory Day, the day of victory over the fascism, which was equated to the German nazism in the middle of the 20th century. What could the appearance of this symbol on the first page oh one of the most wide-printed papers in USSR mean?
As I understand it, it was the Danaë’s myth matrix algorithm activation inspired by somebody. Different people take the activation process differently; the vast majority doesn’t notice it at all. But in distant past as well as in our technocratic times all over the world, and particularly in Russia, there were those who took, as one can call it so, the excited state of energy-pumped matrixes very painfully. Early they were called “God’s fools” or fools “in Christ”; today they usually become the patients of psychiatrists. They take the “destructive matrix algorithm activation by pumping it with energy”, as the normal man will feel the pain of the salt in his wound. Mr. Holmes, have you seen the film “Matrix” or you have considered the watching of it to be just a wasting of your time?
Yes, count, I’ve seen it and even have read an interesting analytic article devoted to it. And why do you ask?
Because one of the characters answered the question of what the Matrix was, in such way: “the Matrix is everywhere”. One, as he or she sees, can’t touch it, can’t see, hear or smell it, but, nonetheless, he or she can feel its influence in the way I can’t understand. My perception of the world is based on the same five feelings by which anyone makes his conception of the objective reality. Probably it can be felt by the sixth feeling that one knows of but seldom uses – the sense of proportion[35]. And exactly this hypertrophied feeling is taken as schizophrenia in the modern culture, which is based on “Oedipus complex”.
Sorry for interrupting you, but as I know, the term “Oedipus complex” was firstly introduced by Sigmund Freud. What’s it relation to “Danaë’s” matrix algorithm activation?
And do you remember the myth about Oedipus?
Only generally.
Nevertheless, it’s very important what precisely do you know of it.
So, Delphi’s Oracle has predicted to Oedipus that he would kill his father and marry his own mother. And their children would be cursed by the gods and hated by the mankind. However hard Oedipus tried to avoid his destiny the prediction completely realized and Oedipus had a tragic end: as I can remember he blinded himself and his wife made a suicide.
There is more than one version of this myth, but all of them finish tragically. Why? – Because the main characters having proper names absorb all the attention in the myth, but the Oracle is unnamed – it’s just some Delphi’s Oracle that predicts futures events. Mr. Holmes, and are you able to distinguish the prediction and the programming of future?
I’ll try to answer with old Chinese aphorism, that sounds nearly so: “If we wouldn’t change our current direction we have a risk to reach the place of destination”.
Yes, this has some sense, – told Pfanfaltz after a pause, – but I have no answer for this question yet, and to find it let’s try to look through Oedipus’s story after the Oracle’s prediction of killing his father. To overcome the cruel fate Oedipus left Corinth and went to far lands, but he didn’t know that he had run from the stepparents and that the road that he had chosen led to Thebes where his real father Lai ruled. And to this Lai, as well as to Acrisius some time, the Oracle had predicted to be killed by, not a grandson, but by his son. And that’s why Lai had told to leave his little son in a wood to be eaten by wild animals.
It seems to be another variant, where a child had been thrown to the sea, but waters brought him on the shore where king of Sickon adopted him.
You are quite right and this variant shows the relation to Danaë’s myth very well, Mr. Holmes. Anyway Oedipus was miraculously saved and adopted, in the first variant, by childless king of Corinth – Polybus. On his way to Thebes after leaving his stepfather Oedipus killed a noble man in casual fight. It had been his real father Lai, so the first part of the Oracle’s prediction came to be.
Or the first part of program algorithm purposefully made by Oracle of Delphi.
May be, – answered the count and continued. – Having solved Sphinx’s riddle, Oedipus freed Thebes. Grateful people made him their king. The widow-queen Jocasta whom he had married to was his mother. His children were the same time his brothers and sisters. After twenty safe years of Oedipus’s rule it was a plague and a savage famine. The same Delphi’s Oracle had earlier predicted that the dearth would finish after Lai’s murderer would have been expatriated. Wishing to stop it Oedipus vigorously started to look for a criminal and having find the only survived Lai’s companions and got know that he himself was the murderer. Moreover, this eyewitness of the killing was at the same time that slave who had been told to leave Oedipus in the wood, but had felt sorry to baby and had given him to Corinthian herdsman, after what king Polybus adopted Oedipus. So Oedipus got know that Lai was his father, and that the prediction had come to life. Being mad of his deeds he blinded himself and Jocasta made a suicide.
As you can see, Mr. Holmes, the role of Oracle in this story is really mean, and it seems to be not a predictor, but a programmer.
Yes, count; the relationship between these two myths is quite obvious, and the connecting-link is certainly the activity of the Delphi’s Oracle. The only thing that we need to understand is what did it – programming or predicting of futures events.
To answer this question one should learn to distinguish a prognosis from a programming. It seems that this would be a keystone for solving the Russian riddles. And as to “Oedipus complex” (yearning to kill father and to come into sexual relations with mother), which if to believe Freud the majority of men unknowingly have a tendency to, just from our rude analysis it’s seen well, what the exaggeration made by one the first-rate authoritative psychologists is based on. From that point of view Freud looks like a pitiful adept of the unknown Oracle of Delphi. But now it is much more important not by whom, but how are catastrophic matrixes algorithms realized. If the world is unified and complete and everything in it is in cause-and-effect relationship, then analysing the consequences one can understand the causes. To rise on such a level of understanding we should get out the borders of the system forming its behaviour stereotypes. It’s impossible to understand the behaviour of “maniac” in the borders of culture we live in. Rembrandt’s “Danaë” is one of the best embodiments of the Danaë’s myth, and since “the matrix is everywhere” and its destructive algorithm is activated, “maniac” looks for and finds material components of the matrix in Rembrandt’s masterpiece. You, Mr. Holmes, know the following.
And you, count, want to say that maniac has blocked the execution of that matrix algorithm?
I guess, Mr. Holmes, that the matter was like this; and there are two proves. The first is that several restaurateurs and their families strangely died in car accidents. It can be interpreted as a showing of the alternative matrix-scenario algorithm realization. Unfortunately I can’t prove it by press essays. And though the Hermitage direction knows everything, they speak very unwillingly of anything of the kind. The second prove of blocking of the destructive algorithm is the appearance of the main symbol of the myth in “Arguments and facts” after eleven years; they said that it was a “casual” mistake of holiday picture montage. Something went wrong in matrix-scenario of destroying the country, proclaimed by West as “the Evil Empire”. And following my hypothesis the second attempt of activation the destructive algorithm after the eleven-year solar activity cycle took place. It seems to me that doings of that “madman” unconsciously resisted to the destructive Gorbachev’s activity, though many people consider both of them to be modern herostratuses. I understand that such a conclusion may seem crazy for the majority of those who had grown up in biblical culture, because the culture itself places bans on appreciating the stereotypes made by it. It means that one grown by such culture isn’t able to ask: is everything nice in his culture? Why there are so many people who behave as potential criminals? And how is the crime-committing algorithm realised in the frames of this culture? May be it is specially putted into unconscious psychical levels in such a way, that he trying to avoid the “predicted” evil would do an evil even worse? But so, making an analogy with myth of Oedipus, one can find the main author or “customer” of many crimes.
I agree, count, your conclusions are so new and unusual that I need a time to find a place for them in my world understanding. And I think that there is a sense in analysing the events of “black Tuesday” from these positions. May be we can find a treacherous “nobody”.
Do you mean the myth about Odysseus and Polyphemus?
Quite right, count. The United States look like that Cyclops with both two eyes been burned out, who in rage is looking for the treacherous “Nobody”1, touching modern “sheep”. Just today “the treacherous Nobody” is called Bin-Laden. And what does mean the appearance of that article of “Danaë’s” restoration in “Chas Pick” #151(880) by October 14, 1997 in the context of your theory?
It would be better if I translate some paragraphs of this article for you:
“Today’s world is full of cruelty and violence. In the end of 20th century more and more works of art become the victims of maniacs. Rembrandt is the leader in a field of such crimes. His paintings attract madmen with a peculiar force”.
Holmes, doesn’t it seem to you that the author who knows nothing of my theory gives proves of it though from another point of view?
Excuse me, count, that I interrupt your line of reasoning, but why very Rembrandt attracts madmen with a peculiar force?
I have an idea about it, but to understand it you should understand what role had painting played before cinema and television appeared.
Do you want to say, that painting was like cinema and television in the modern times?
Quite right, but… for the highest society. The modern science proved that musical and visual images go to unconscious levels of psyche passing over the consciousness. It is also known that one gets 95% of information through his vision (and 5% are left to audio, gustatory and other images). Hence painting played a colossal role in forming the worldview at the epoch before cinema and television. Since the majority of paintings of west European painters, at least before the middle of the 19th century, were on the biblical subjects, the biblical worldview of the Western “elite” was formed through painting. Paintings of west European painters firstly became taken to Russia during the reforms of Peter the Great, but especially great number of them was brought under Catherine II. For instance just in 1772 150 canvases of famous Flanders and Hollanders were bought at once and there were many Rembrandt’s paintings as well. Thanks to the peculiar style of painting his picture even in that time caused an unusually great influence on spectator’s psyche. Most probably he indeed was the first “impressionist”[37], from the viewpoint that his paintings as well as paintings of Cézanne or Monet weren’t acceptable to one’s eye from too near. People even said, that when one of his customers had tried to watch the details of a painting, Rembrandt told: “Don’t touch the canvas with your nose. Paints smell bad”. But that time the entrance to museums like Louvre, your National Gallery or our Hermitage was closed for the common people. To my view, in those times one “worked” on unconscious levels of psyche of the “elite” to make it loyal to the biblical worldview. But the one deal is to visit the church, make bows, and quite another deal is to read and recomprehend the Bible. And it seems that such great role in that “work” was given to Rembrandt’s painting, that nowadays in the Netherlands one called the highest building in Amsterdam[38] “the Rembrandt’s Tower” and “The Night Watch”[39].
If my comparisons of painting and television hadn’t caused an aversion of you, Holmes, I would like to return to your question about the context of my version of “Danaë’s restoration. However I should read another extract from the above-mentioned “Chas Pick”:
“But nevertheless many people say that today “Danaë” is just a ruin, though beautiful; that there is only a shade of great Rembrandt. In one paper it was even called a cripple, though still sensual and nice. Eugene Gerasimov himself, who had managed the restoration for many years, agreed that it isn’t Rembrandt we used to know. Those who remember the before-the-tragedy painting need to overcome a psychological barrier. But future generations will take “Danaë” in some another way. People have become ever used to Venus Milossian without her hands or to Nica Samothracian without her head.”
Have I answered to your question, Mr. Holmes?
