History: Fiction or Science? (Chronology, No. 1)

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.

Book Description

25% less expensive than other brief texts, and 20% shorter than the previous edition, this book is an excellent option for professors who want to use supplementary texts, readings, or periodicals. Written in a strong narrative voice and brimming with student-relevant examples, the second edition of America’s New Democracy provides a focused and stimulating treatment of politics in the United States. Illustrating popular influence across the political system in defense of a central theme–that elections matter more in America’s political system today than they have in the past or do in other democracies–the book challenges the pessimistic view that government seldom listens to ordinary people. America’s New Democracy encourages readers to see that in a system where votes are the main currency, both power and responsibility rest on the shoulders of all citizens.

Uneven, especially for a third edition.......2006-10-10

I am currently using this textbook for my introductory course in American politics. It is the second time I am using this text, and I will likely use it at least once more. So while I say that this book is uneven, it is still better than most other introductory texts out there.

The most attractive features of this text are its size and price. In a typical semester you can read this text along with two other short texts and still keep your students' book bill under $80. I'm using the book with the Dover edition of Lincoln's Great Speeches and the Essential Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers, and it all comes in around $70.

Several of the chapters are, moreover, either good or at least competent. The chapters on American political culture, parties and interest groups, and elections are quite good, and those on civil liberties and civil rights are at least satisfactory. In all these cases there are accurate discussions of basic concepts and facts, illustrated with appropriate and interesting examples. The chapter on parties and interests groups, for example, manages to pack a short history of American parties, the Framers' view of parties, pros and cons of strong parties, and a basic explanation of interest groups and interest group theory into a 29-page chapter. Throughout, the chapter is quite accessible for 100-level political science students. The chapter on American political culture, likely under the knowledgeable direction of Fiorina, is also good.

There are poor chapters as well, however. In the introductory chapter "Democracy in the United States" the authors make a half-hearted attempt to suggest that there is something new, exciting, and positive about America's democracy. At times they seem to argue that ours is an age of American democratic revival--a thesis that quickly collapses due to lack of evidence ("plentiful elections" may have once been a populist demand, but do not mean better--or even more--democracy). The authors end the chapter with a promise to combat against prevailing cynicism in the following chapters (a worthy goal), but they are forced to admit that many of the alleged ailments of the 'new democracy' may indeed be real.

In other chapters, errors sometimes pop up. They range from the relatively insignificant ('almost all of Reagan's vetoes were pocket vetoes'--wrong: exactly half were); to the common but inexcusable (confusing checks and balances with separation of powers); to the egregious (e.g. the Supreme Court "rarely invokes" the Tenth Amendment in federalism cases). Overall the rate of errors is somewhere between an average Wikipedia article and a good reference book on American politics. At any rate, the text is not a reliable enough source for facts. Aren't these kinds of errors that are supposed to be gone by the first, to say nothing of the third edition?

This last error is a part of a separate problem in the book--the authors occasionally but suddenly reveal various axes that they proceed to grind for paragraphs at a time. The federalism chapter is a prime example. The chapter is not without some good basic instruction on the key federalism issues, and an explanation of the constitutional sources of federal authority (though they omit a good discussion of the constitutional basis of state government authority). However, before the text actually finishes explaining how the federal system works, it paints an ominous and hyperbolic picture of a federal government run wild. To be sure, some intelligent people have argued against, e.g. post-New Deal Commerce Clause jurisprudence and other expansions of federal authority. But this admittedly legitimate point of view is simply imposed on a 100-level student before he or she knows hardly anything about federalism at all. The rhetorical means of this imposition, moreover, seem to be beneath the authors. For example, in a caption to a photo related to the Wickard v. Filburn case, the authors ask suggestively: "Do you think the framers envisioned a national government with such power?" (despite what Fiorina et al suggest with this question, my view is that in the case of Madison or even Marshall, the answer is yes, quite possibly). The case that the federal government is dangerously imposing, even against the will of the American people, is driven home by the marginally useful statistic that Americans say they trust their local governments more than the federal government. Nowhere is it mentioned that most of the purportedly breathtaking expansions of federal power in the post-New Deal era, including minimum wage and workweek regulations, child labor laws, environmental regulations, and food and health safety regulations, not to mention Social Security, are massively popular with the American people. If the federal system is seriously out of balance in favor of the national government, then the American people are largely okay with it. A more balanced chapter would have mentioned something like this.

When discussing the "retreat from centralization" in federalism, the authors only mention a few episodes from the 1990s, completely ignoring the New Federalism of Nixon and Reagan and of the Berger and early Rehnquist courts. They do mention New York v U.S. (1992), but that stands in direct contradiction to their bizarre claim earlier in the chapter that the 10th Amendment is a dead letter.

The Constitution chapter has similar problems. Part of what could be a good background on the writing of the Constitution is there, but it is incomplete. Moreover, the authors go to considerable lengths to point out how "unsavory" the Constitutional convention was (mainly because none of the members of the convention were poor, because their discussions were secret, and because they went beyond merely amending the Articles of Confederation), but then inexplicably shift direction and conclude that the final product was good anyway. Very little is said about what is actually in the Constitution, why many 'yeoman farmers' were against it, and why the mostly wealthy authors of the Constitution (along with legislative majorities in every state) were for it. If the authors' attempt in the book is to combat cynicism with understanding, then the Constitution chapter falls somewhat short.

With other texts, and in the hands of a knowledgeable instructor, the flaws of this book are not too great to overcome. But I hope that future editions of this text will be free of some of the flaws that still appear in this third attempt.

Book Description

Castro's Cuba is isolated; the guerrillas who once spread havoc through Uruguay and Argentina are dead, dispersed, or running for office as moderates. And in 1990, Nicaragua's Sandinistas were rejected at the polls by their own constituents. Are these symptoms of the fall of the Latin American left? Or are they merely temporary lulls in an ongoing revolution that may yet transform our hemisphere?

This perceptive and richly eventful study by one of Mexico's most distinguished political scientists tells the story behind the failed movements of the past thirty years while suggesting that the left has a continuing relevance in a continent that suffers from destitution and social inequality. Combining insider's accounts of intrigue and armed struggle with a clear-sighted analysis of the mechanisms of day-to-day power, Utopia Unarmed is an indispensable work of scholarship, reportage, and political prognosis.

Customer Reviews:

Poor disenchanted Jorge!.......2001-09-10

Or should I say poor Mr. Secretary! I read this book right after it was published as someone gave it to me as a gift. The book itself represents a turning point in Castañeda's life: from a progressive Mexican academician to a disenchanted US visiting professor. It is as if the ignominious Berlin Wall fell upon his head. The book transpires the "I was so wrong!" message from the beginning. However, I must admit that on the first part there is a lot of useful raw material that can help us understand the failure of armed movements in Latin America. Particularly accurate is the piece on Montoneros, the Argentine urban guerrilleros. However, it is Castañeda's analysis what is wrong. Then his proposal for the "left" (the "left" HE has in his own confused mind) proved wrong just some months after the publication of the book with the coming of the Zapatistas onto Mexican political arena. No wonder Catañeda's posterior attempts to discredit the movement: these irreverent Zapatistas were not following HIS proposal based on well-thought academic premises, conceived in a clean professor's office away from (social) reality. His current appointment as the Secretary of Foreign Relations in a right wing administration demonstrates clearly Castañeda's solid convictions that he had already gave off in this book.

Historiography of left movements and progressive program.......1997-07-04

This book was originaly written in 1992. An introduction added to account for important developments in 1994 that seem to contradict the main thesis. The book itself has 2 parts arifitially glued together. The first chapters present an excellent historiography of the last 60 years of left movements in Latin America. Parallels, connections and similarities are drawn between different groups in different times and places. All this is very informative, given the numerous references for further reading. One of the main arguments is that armed movements did not succeed in changing the politics of the region (except for a very small number of cases), that the transition to social-democracy activism is much more effective and that all of the democratically elected leftist governments failed to implement workable alternatives. The events in southern Mexico during January 94 contradict the general trend, hence the need for the new introduction. The last part of the book is programatic. Castaneda presents _the_ solution to the problems that plague the continent in the form of "recommendations" for the left (since the right will never do that). The program includes democratization, socially oriented government policies, regulated free-market, etc. As a whole the program is well presented and congruent. However, the apparent intent is to show how these policies are the only alternative based on the experience drawn from the first part of the book. On the last point I find the book lacking. The connection between the different historic cases and trens and the program for the future is not clear enough. Also, some internal contradictions are pointed out but not resolved (as to how the left will be elected with a corrupt polling process, etc)

This volume focuses on the relationship between the tasks of institutional design and the outcomes of the process of economic and political liberalization in Latin America and in Central and Eastern Europe. The contributors emphasize the design of institutions to serve a market economy, the design of electoral laws, and the design of executive-legislative relations. Within this framework each chapter discusses the legacy of the pre-existing authoritarian regime; the range of preferences among various strategic actors with regard to the pace and mix of reforms; and the consequences of final choices for the institutionalization of effective economies and the process of democratization.

Constructing Democratic Governance in Latin America (An Inter-American Dialogue Book)

ASIN: 0198781849

Book Description

Against a broader backdrop of globalization and worldwide moves toward political democracy, The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America examines the unfolding relationships among social change, equity, and the democratic representation of the poor in Latin America. Recent Latin American governments have turned away from redistributive policies; at the same time, popular political and social organizations have been generally weakened, inequality has increased, and the gap between rich and poor has grown. Hanging in the balance is the consolidation and the quality of new or would-be democracies; this volume suggests that governments must find not just short-term programmes to alleviate poverty, but long-term means to ensure the effective integration of the poor into political life. The New Politics of Inequality in Latin America bridges the intellectual chasm between, on the one hand, studies of grassroots politics, and on the other, explorations of elite politics and formal institution-building. It will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Latin American politics and society and, more generally, in the vicissitudes of democracy and citizenship in the late twentieth-century global system.

If you can't get the basic facts right..........2004-08-12

... how are we supposed to believe your theories that are harder to substantiate?

The litany of errors is hilarious.
Davis-Monthan AFB in Tuscon, AZ is alternately named "David Monthan," "Davis Munson," and "David Munson." Any road map could've provided the correct information.
Ft. Indiantown Gap in PA is similarly renamed about 3 different times.

Among the most amusing contention are the 30,000 "UN troops" stationed in Barstow, CA. First, Barstow doesn't have the water supply to support the 22,000 people that do live there. Second, the "UN troops" were probably soldiers from nearby Ft. Irwin, who wear different uniforms because their job is to portray the bad guys for units who come there to train (and there are fewer than 2500 of them). Third, why Barstow? What are they going to do, take down Las Vegas? And would anyone miss it if they did?

The best of all, though, is the cargo train of New World Order UN vehicles travelling through the western states. Keith claims they are "BMP-40s." They are quitely clearly Canadian Grizzly armored cars and M113 personnel carriers. Had anyone bothered to compare the timing of this train and the training schedule at the National Training Center, they would've known that the Canadians had a regiment of troops training with the Americans and these were the Canadian vehicles going home. When "Soldier of Fortune" debunks your cornerstone theory and dismisses it as the ravings of a right-wing lunatic, you know you're in trouble.

The Russian tanks seen on flatbeds near Gowen Field, ID and El Paso, TX? Probably going to the local weapons ranges to be shot at, since we've been using Russian tanks for target practice for decades, to test the effectiveness of our own weapons.

All in all, this is worth reading for the humor in it. But not worth spending money on. Unfortunately, there's no lower rating you can give than one star, but this one deserves to be in the negative.

The future under a New World Order........2002-09-16

I approach this book as an outsider to this genre. I'm not big conspiracy theory buff. I'm not a survivalist. Nor am I a die-hard political fanatic. Like most Americans, I go about my life vaguely aware of what's happening in our government. Given that, I went into this book with an open mind.

Jim Keith, who I find after some research, was one of the leading writers in government activities. With Black Helicopters Over America he raises some interesting questions. What is our military doing? What exactly does the government have in mind for our future? What part does our government play in the political machinations of the United Nations?

Keith lays out the plans for a New World Order. He describes an international police force under U.N. direction. He shows the groundwork for the disarmament of the people and the rights that we could lose in the new world state. Keith also describes a future of concentration camps for those that would speak out against the New World Order.

Black Helicopters is a straightforward book laden with factual events and policies. However, though the events and policies may be factual, the context and details of those entries can sometimes seem questionable. As with most any issue, facts can be arranged to display the picture the writer wants to be seen.

The material in the book is a bit dated. Even though it was published in 1994, events in the book date back as far as the 1950s. Most of the events presented are from the 1970s. This in itself softens the credibility of the text. While writing this review, I did find out that Keith published a follow up book in 1998 titled Black Helicopters II : The End Game Strategy. I would imagine that the follow up takes the reader current, up to 1998. It may be worth the time for interested parties to read this book to see if Keith presents more recent events that would add credibility to his arguments.

If anything, Keith does present enough information to make the reader think. In fact, Keith urges the reader to step back and take at look at the information that is available. In my opinion, the underlying point of Black Helicopters is: To make educated decisions based on researched facts and to understand your government and what it is doing. It is something to think about.

Propaganda for idiots, filled with factual errors.......2002-03-13

It is such a shame amazon.com doesn't allow for a "bomb" or "zero star" rating, because if ever a book merited one, this would be it.

A friend of mine gave it to me as a joke gift, and I immediately found all the timelines about cattle mutilations, black helicopters, and other urban (rural?) legends to be slightly less interesting than reading the phonebook.

Factual errors include descriptions of the AH-64 Apache helicopter as a "troop transport" (it's an attack helicopter and it cannot hold any troops at all), a reference to the military base at "St John, Canada, near Montreal" (the town is called St-Jean-sur-Richeleu and there hasn't been a base there for years, now it's just an army language school), and descriptions of helicopter crews wearing cowboy hats (what, no helmets or intercom headsets?)...

Opening chapter of book deals with cattle mutilations!.......2000-04-23

For those who want to know more about the relevance of cattle mutilations related to "secret government" machinations, you should appreciate that Jim Keith sought to reveal that by opening this book with discussions of journalist ED SANDERS, who has very importantly covered cattle mutilations in the context of secret government ops likely involving development of biologicals, and that many cattle mutilations were diagnosed by veterinarians as having LOCALIZEED CONCENTRATIONS of CLOSTRIDIA.

Keith opens this important work by having the reader seek to know more! You will discover Keith's incredible ability to ferret out the dark side of the Globalists....and how some of Keith's books reveal much more about secret "underground" biologicals developments for the "NEW ORDER". This book has the opening chapter dealing with cattle mutilations, so that should tell you something about what Keith has uncovered! CLOSTRIDIA, per DOD-docs presented by RN Joyce Riley reveal that Keith is on the right track! Jim Keith was quite nervous in revealing on the ART BELL show that CLOSTRIDIA was related to strange cattle mutilations, despite all the rest of the "entertainment" regarding that topic....and this book will provoke you to research more about WACO, et al!

To those of you unfamiliar with Jim Keith's books, you will appreciate Keith's incredible facility to see beyond the fact-ridden, and extrapolate hidden agendas within government enterprises, as in this book, you will note that he opens with review of jounralist Ed Sander's insights into the meaning of CATTLE MUTILATIONS within the context of first appearing very close to military base in Colorado, and why Keith dared to mention on his guest appearance on ART BELL talk-show the relevance of many cattle mutilations having been diagnosed with CLOSTRIDIA, and what that microbe means for BIOLOGICALS productions, as noted by famed journalist, RN Joyce Riley of American Gulf War Veteran's Association... and why this news is being suppressed, and why JIM KEITH's books have so much merit in understanding GLOBALISM and all sorts of "hidden agendas". Read ALL of Jim Keith's books, before you think this is all madness and sheer nonsense! JIM KEITH has lots more to say about the "New Order" and the devious machinations ensuing from very greedy people. Keith has tried to expose the nefarious nature of many psy-ops--READ ON!
