God of War
The interminable relationship between God and warriors through the ages
It has to be understood that the historical development of military establishments worldwide has roots in the all too familiar historical pattern of land stolen from land dwellers by ruthless warriors over the centuries who have seeded generations of inbreeding and interlocking offspring that over time, like a spiders web, has become a cross cultural Military Establishment - physically and ideologically, now a global Western centric phenomenon.
Under the supervision of ‘public’ administrations in City States and later in Nation States, politicians and priests have become the administrators of media and education for the ruling class of State landowners whose legitimacy of ownership depended entirely upon legalese, the language of riddles and rhymes interspersed with references to a God created in their own beastly image.
Do UK residents know for example that their freehold properties don’t actually belong to them according to the riddles and rhymes of the Constitutional State Law? The law states very clearly that the land upon which they own a house, and possibly a garden, actually belongs to the Crown based on ancient interpretations of what ‘ownership’ means.
This is how ‘Her Majesty’s’ Government explains the situation regarding ownership in the explanatory notes to the Land Registration Bill that Adrian Sanders addressed on 29th November 2001:
The Crown is the only absolute owner of land in England and Wales; all others hold an estate in land. Estates, which derive from feudal terms of tenure, originally took many forms but were reduced by the Law of Property Act 1925 to two, an estate in fee simple, absolute in possession, generally known as ‘freehold’ and an estate for a term of years absolute generally known as ‘leasehold’.
The particular structure devised in the 1925 Law of Property Act retained the Crown’s ancient position at the expense of ordinary citizens whose legal position was compromised by this Act by an extinct right of the medieval Crown that reduces in legal terms the idea of owning an estate in land to merely having ‘an interest’ in an estate in land. Using the riddles and rhymes of legal jargon, what this actually means is, according to property LAW defined by Her Majesty’s Servants in HM Government run by the RICH and well connected, UK residents merely have ‘an interest’ in the occupation of their land and property.
As we delve into the incestuous relationship between big land owners, the civil service of Governments and the secretive Military Establishments run under strict Secrecy Laws like the UK’s Official Secrets Acts, it will become clear that the conflict between public and private interests is a global contention manifested by Westernised systems of political and economic control whereby the few who influence public policy becomes the underlying cause of bloodletting the public in wars. It’s a journey of joining the dots of intimacy between a line of dynastic militaristic owners of countries and their dutiful politicians in Governments that shows the ley lines of a very dark and somewhat hellish political power across the world.
We already know there has always been a hierarchy of powerful warrior lords in ancient times who maintain a dominant position in world affairs home and abroad through their intimate relationship with each other across borders that sometimes ends in disputes over occupied territories. Warlord families fall out, precipitating the need to conscript as many largely landless land dwellers as possible to die horribly in defence of territory they don’t actually own so that their articulate lords and cohorts can continue to own and rule over. These ‘types’ have become the established dynasties and families with which we are familiar as children who have been taught about their social significance as important players in the history of our nations and as makers of our culture and national identity.
I need to reiterate the rank - status in many societies today of Kings, Queens, Princes, Lords, Dukes, Earls etc, since the beginning, has not been achieved solely by the physical means of their forebears running successful military campaigns against other peoples, families and dynasties, but by a narrative boasting God on their side, by a divine authority from above, by lifting the whole meaning of war into a spiritual realm of good versus evil, by repeating the mono-language of a God of War.
Generations of useful soldiers, guided by priests down the ages across the world have chosen a career as fighters to proudly serve the warrior class in their private wars, their officers receiving both material and career rewards, as well as booty from successful campaigns like parcels of occupied land and treasure troves stolen from the vanquished. Sharing the booty of war in this way with the officer class, they too became part of the warrior landowning class sharing the same ideals and material opportunities of material advancement and economic power enjoyed by those they had served.
The rise of the power of this military class in their occupied territories in different parts of the world extended to creating formal boundaries and treaties recognised by other members of the warrior class in neighbouring territories giving rise to a sense of international cooperation in ‘modern’ statecraft.
This all sounds fine except for the fact that people today believe today’s national military forces in each country is run by the public, for the public. Sadly this is not entirely true….
From conqueror to land owner..William as example
Id.. Nor should it be confined to those who actually fought at Hastings (still less to the small numbers who can be proved to have done so), since vital roles in the Norman conquest were played by others left behind to govern Normandy when the invasion fleet sailed, and by those who came over after the battle to help hold the kingdom and share in the spoils great men with many knights of their own, able to supply the equipment, ships, labour, food, and money on which the success of the project depended also joined in the invasion knowing the booty would be LAND and taxes from the labour class that looked after it..
911ad Rollo(Viking raider) shared out the large estates with his companions and gave agricultural land to his other followers. How landwellers became cattle for the Warrior Princes, Dukes and earls…
But what really interests me is the way the military class today project their Godly status via all those lovely colourful uniforms they parade themselves in at various shows and public ceremonies which display symbols denoting their divine power.
At this point my thoughts about this hidden matrix of power within Military Establishments turns to the relationship between the particular God that currently lives within images, emblems, logos, symbols etc, embedded in the language of State & Constitutional Law and its uniforms, military regalia, and Israel. And, more to the point, the relationship between Israel and the military class generally in terms of their common purpose to serve divinely installed regal officers of secular realms.
