Алмаз Браев – Kazakhs and Jews (страница 7)

In the same way, ordinary Khazar nomads looked at their Jewish elite.

They couldn’t figure out what the Jewish mono G-d was, in the first place.

Why do they need one monobog when they have many gods and deities?

Everybody needs an understandable set of images to understand how a local faith arises, which becomes a religion through practice. Only the god Tengri and they knew ancestors’ spirits were clear to the Khazars.

For example, a pagan does not understand why God helps him if he is not his relative. Why would God help everyone? How, on what basis, does he distinguish between his own and others? It is your own, and it is others’ – they understood it well. The «first-second» is not far from this. Am I the first favorite or the second favorite of God? So that this god can distinguish. So that these pagans understand. First, they understood truth and justice outside of the «friend or foe» about blood. For people to get out of the symbolic row of friend and foe, their own and others must be mixed up.

Jews have been wandering in foreign lands for 2000 years. They have perfectly assimilated truth, goodness, equality, and justice in one requirement – common universal citizenship. Nobody can’t be an internationalist in the circle of relatives. To understand it, you need to live in a foreign land. It would be best to migrate anywhere for various reasons (mainly out of need), and there is a demand for equality based on universal values and not by blood. If local people do not understand it (and they cannot comprehend it by definition), migrants arrange or arrange riots and revolutions for them. That’s why Asians don’t understand revolutionaries from the word in any way. Asians are inertial and traditional. All the pastoral peoples were exactly the same in the past. They were driving herds. Not a single sheep could separate from the flock. Not a single person in the tribal collective could claim their new status. There is no choice in a large family. All children try to be loved most, but good parents do not single out favorites.

The Khazars’ acceptance of Judaism is most politically motivated. By the 8th century, Khazaria was already an empire. It is simply impossible to keep a wide variety of peoples, especially tribes, in a solidary union. A particular «friendship» belonging to the same government had to be supported by ideology. Obviously, they did not know about ideology at that time, but they perfectly understood the meaning of religion. In this sense, the choice of Judaism as the oldest Abrahamic branch is quite logical.

But why Judaism? That’s where you can and should look not for politics, but also a nomadic character (preserved in its pure form as «first -second» until today?

Is it pride?

Yes, that’s right. It is «Am I the first or the second?»

The nomads will never be second. They still live by the principle no one can be first but me.

The adoption of Christianity or Islam by the Khazars would immediately place them in subordination, in a position of secondary importance. (It would seem that people with a tribal matrix should have a democratic mood of indifference. It only seems so. There is no democracy. All the Zerefs of the world have one democracy – the military one. That is, one-time, during the election of warriors. Then, the entire population lines up in squads and listens to every word of the leader. Doesn’t this remind you of our modern autocracy? Everyone is just talking about democracy. Everyone talks about democracy just for show. Because the US hegemony over the whole world is also military, by the way. However, the USA has a completely different democracy. If international bankers decide to scare the whole world with aircraft carriers and coups, they know who they are dealing with – they have long studied the psychology of colonial peoples. Refags have the most extensive experience, resulting in the highest practical reflection. They know perfectly well who and how to talk to. Hence the policy of double standards).

So.

Although everyone sees a political motive in the adoption of Judaism – the Khazar kings chose the religion of monotheism in the name of the empire, we should immediately notice in this choice the proud pose of the nomads «first – second.»

Then, in the eternal nomad movement itself, there is no condition for Asian despotism. There is eternal, unlimited spatial freedom in nomadism. There is a dictatorship of the clan leader, but all tribesmen know that this is power in the name of the clan («in the name of the family»), and not so that everyone survives the campaign in the name of the sons of the nobility. A developed economy and some profit are required to allocate the leader’s sons as heirs. And what is the profit of the wild nomads of the past? All nomads just wanted to survive in the harsh environment.

For Asian despotism to arise, all shepherds must stop and settle on the ground. Then, hierarchical relations will remember everything and write it down in books. Just by the end of the 8th century, the main population of Khazaria was called sedentary. Since the Khazars were given the name of the Khaganate, this already speaks of settlement and hierarchy.

Were Jews shepherds?

You bet! Some were shepherds more than others. However, farmers were next to the Khazars for a very long time. (If you don’t remember the Greek cities of Crimea, click here.) In the Bible, exemplary community members are compared to sheep all the time, not exemplary ones with goats; it is the proof.

However, wherever the Kagals appeared, not immediately, but over time, friction with the local population began. Because the Jews behaved suspiciously in the eyes of these people, they gathered all the time on Saturdays in synagogues and observed their rituals. The Jews showed no desire to merge with the Aborigines. Before the case of the Khazars, Jews did not settle among the nomads in any way. That’s why they were chased everywhere. And when they came to the Khazars, they stayed there. Moreover, they passed on their faith to them. Why?

But because they talked to the nomads in the same invisible language. Although Jews did not roam like their ancestors used to, they only migrated for objective reasons, if the persecution of Jews can be called something else – forced migrants. And weren’t the Khazar nomads driven by nature in the same way? People persecuted Jews, and Khazars were forced to roam by nature: people are also nature. That’s the difference. So much for the similarity. What should we call this invisible language, or rather the aura of freedom, that told the Jews where they would be better off and where they would not be (where they would have to fight all the time for equality, for citizenship, for socialism, finally)?

It turns out that the Khazars are the first of the nomads to master commodity-money relations, and the Jews are freedom fighters. The Khazars, however, lagged far behind; so far, they have been opposed only by nature and the weather. To overcome all adversities and survive, they had to wander, wander, and «keep warm.»

The Jews were far ahead of others. They found a radical way against nature as if they were against wild pagan peoples. However, nations are unpredictable, unlike nature – they persecuted Jews out of jealousy, suspicion, and envy. The Jews also gave them money «on loan,» «but they did not give it to their Jews» – as bequeathed by G-d. This was very similar to the fact that all pagan nomads sacrificed Tengri. This often did not help them.

P.S.

No one knew then that future nomads would love commodity-money relations, so it is unnecessary to accept Judaism for this. The main thing is to love freedom in the form of the principle «Am I first or second?» because money and wealth greatly raise everyone in the eyes of others. The main thing here is to be an elite. Or call yourself an elite with the help of journalists, propagandists, and other modern servants. This causes obvious nomadic unscrupulousness and unbridled corruption).

Chapter 13

The instinct of power. Chosenness

Children can also wear adult clothes. When very young children imitate adults, it’s a whole performance. This does not cause anything but approval.

Addicts can take drugs. But the «junkies» charge money for the next dose.

«First – second» is, of course, the instinct of the importance of being chosen. God chose the Jews – everyone knows about it. But what about the nomads?

Nomads, the nomadic elite, are always in a state of Brownian conceit. I and only I, although such leadership is certainly not as conscious as that of King Louis 14 of France in the form of «the state is me.» The instinct of leadership is not in every person’s blood, but every nomad has it. (The nomad’s love of power is literally painted on his face. If the nomad’s ambitions are not satisfied, he will also try not to obey. Although you can’t find fault with him outwardly, he will also do everything: perform and show friendship and diligence. But who is the fool who would believe in this diligence and friendship? At the same time, an unsatisfied, power-hungry Kazakh will sit up to anyone, even his relative or even his own son. It’s all a fight. It’s between our own. The intraspecific struggle is stronger than the interspecific one. Every family has its despot. So we can be trusted by others).
