Good history of the *true* Mother County of Texas.......2007-07-11

I have family connections to early Red River County and I did my graduate history thesis many years ago on the demographic development of the county, so I always pay attention when a new book is published on the subject. The author is a Claiborne by birth, a descendant of one of the early settler families, and she has apparently never strayed far from her roots. Her style is clear, though not scholarly, and she's careful to footnote all statements and conclusions, so you can easily trace her sources. While I didn't find much here I wasn't already aware of, it's nice to have so much information all in one place, especially since she quotes and extracts many unpublished sources at length. A very useful volume.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

In The Controversy of Zion, Geoffrey Wheatcroft, a self-proclaimed agnostic, offers an unbiased analysis of the "Jewish Question." Wheatcroft covers everything from the various outbreaks of European anti-Semitism--including Hitler's Final Solution--to the accomplishments of liberated European Jews, the argument over forming a Jewish state, the countless Jews who immigrated to the United States, and the recent assassination of Yitzak Rabin. Combining factual information with colorful profiles and anecdotes, he examines the suffering, debates, ideas, and victories that have impacted Jewish culture.

Douglas Reed.......2006-01-05

i would rather read the "controversy of Zion" written by Douglas Reed. This book is somewhat banned because it exposes the truth.
Geoffrey Wheatcroft in my opinion is pro-Zionist and his book serves only to soften the edges of zionism, an ideology found by many to be worst than apartheid.

Readable, but a limited perspective.......2002-01-30

"The Controversy of Zion" examines the polemics of modern political Zionism from its 19th century origins to the present day. Its conclusion is that the realization of the Zionist ideal may have accomplished many things, but did not solve its central problem: thr so-called Jewish Question.

For all its meticulous research and shrewd observations, it is remarkable that a basic premise is never questioned, namely whether there really is or ever was a Jewish Question. What becomes apparent is that the controversy of Zion was not caused by Zionism but rather by European nationalism. It was the European Problem that disenfranchised Jews in every European state and gave cause to a distinct and actionable Jewish nationalism on what had previously only been a religious hope.

The inescapable conclusion is thereby missed. It was not that Zionism was ever conceived as a perfect solution to a Jewish Question; rather it was an imperfect solution to an intolerable situation created by the European disease. It would be too much to expect it to make everyone happy.

And whereas the past controversy among Jews has little relevance to the future of Israel, European nationalism persists and can certainly be said to influence European attitudes toward the State of Israel and the Jewish people to this day.

helpful resource for understanding today's news.......1998-05-28

In the introduction to the book the author states that he is neither friend nor foe of Zionism, he merely wanted to study the concept of Zionism in order to better understand it. I appreciated very much that objectivity. He took a highly emotional topic and developed a balanced, readable history of an idea. Personally, he helped me understand a little better the anti-Zionism arguement.

Very informative and well researched.......1998-02-14

Jewish history is full of different themes. Mr. Wheatcroft has covered one of the larger ones in recent history with a skill and balance that is rarely seen. The story of Zionism is a natural highly emotionally charged subject that usually is written on one side of the political spectrum or the other. Wheatcroft, an observer from the outside, by way of a secular Christian background, manages to keep the flow of factual information coming without falling into the trap of bending the information to a particular point of view. And he does this in an interesting and informal manner. The author, quite modestly states in the preface. "All in all this is an amateur work, but in two senses: It is written by someone who is not a professional authority, but as well in the primary definition of an amateur as one who is fond of the subject." He may call himself an amateur, but if this is so, let it be known that he certainly has done his research, as there were very few, if any, inaccuracies in the book. By Mr. Whaeatcroft's own admission there were certain omissions to the story. One in particular was the parallel story of the Arab arguments which Mr. Wheatcroft explains this way. "I hope I shall not be reproached with ignoring the impact of Zionism on the Arabs, as though I were unaware how great it was; but that is not my theme." This is to say, that although the Arab community was very much a part of the story of Zionism, the books focus was rather the impact that Zionism had on the Jews. Mr. Wheatcroft never deviates from that plan although I am sure the temptation at times was great. However, I have two small criticisms which I must note here. One can be attributed more to the publisher than to Mr. Wheatcroft. Being that he is British, there is a distinct difference in literary styles between American and the British use of English. I wish more care would have been taken in the use of phrases and words in the release of this work in the U.S. One that was more conducive to the American literary style. It is maybe a small thing, and I apologize for it but it would have made the read a lot smoother if I was not left to figure out exactly what is being said or stopping to look up words in a dictionary that normally I would not have to do. More often than not, I was forced to do so, which went from amusing when I started the book to very frustrating towards the end. The other criticism, is the fact that quotes in other languages many times did not have English translations with them. I am curious how that was decided to provide translations of some, and others were left to be figured out if the reader does not speak that particular language. In conclusion, I enjoyed this work very much. It is a must for all parties interested in this field to have this book in their library. It provided a sense of Zionism that is not often enough debated. If we are to move into the 21st. century with a constantly changing and morphing Zionist ideology it is necessary to understand the solutions as well as the problems such an idea caused in the past. With a clearer understanding, Zionism can become the working ideology that it was meant to become for each successive generation to come. .......Larry Hart, Reseda, California

Traces in a non-prejudicial manner the orgins of zionism from old testament, and early history to today. Articulates the role zionism played in various cultures in revolutionary France, Russia, ancient Greece Roman, and ancient Palestine, and in the genesis of our world wars. A must read for any scholar of Israel and Zionism and politics or religion. A must read for any true Christian.

ridiculous.......2007-04-10

Rubbish. There is no such thing as Zionism as represented in this book. There is no global, centralized political body of any Jewish anything, and there never was. Israel is not run by "Zionists". The original socialist Zionists died out decades ago. It was merely a movement to establish statehood for a few people who were admittedly, communist. It had nothing to do with world power or money and the religious world and vast majority of Jews were against it. There are a few religious "Zionists" but that is completely different. They are a minority and have no real power or desire to do anything other than to live in Israel.

Wow!.......2007-02-24

If you want to know who is really running the governments of the world, who is actually benefiting from all of the wars and why, then you have to read Controversy of Zion. Mr. Reed's information is not only from the exhaustive documents and references he has found, but from his own experiences as a World War II correspondent.

This is a truly amazing book!

A very un-P.C. Historical Magnum Opus.......2006-09-01

After reading "Tragedy and Hope" (Quigley), "The Prize" (Yergin), and "A Century of War" (Engdahl) I was looking for another book to illuminate my understanding of current (and past)geopolitics. I read at least two dozen other classic books of history of the last century - but none comes close to wrapping up so many remaining loose ends of history as this one.

Highly recommended.

10 stars maybe more.......2006-01-05

Simply astonishing!!
I thought I knew. Now I need to know more.
Maybe the Quran knew it all this time. Read it and see for yourself.

Essential!.......2005-07-10

This is perhaps the most conclusive rendering of the history of the twentieth century from a conspirational perspective. It is absolutely great! Reed herein demonstrates clearly the linkage of the Zionist State with the international Bolshevik movement. Because of this, the book is hard to find. Those who have the wherewithal to find it will have in their hands an abolute key to understanding modern history and our current quagmire.
