From Yahweh to Zion Kindle Edition

Who is Yahweh? Where did he come from? How did this jealous, vengeful, exclusivist god shape the destiny of his chosen people? Can we trace a direct connection, through twenty-five centuries, linking the cult of Yahweh to contemporary Zionism?

It all starts with the Old Testament, the ur-text for any serious inquiry into the Jewish question. That book – more correctly known as the Torah – does not simply recount the history of a people. It gives the children of Israel the keys to their divinely-ordained destiny. It was Jacob, son of Isaac, who returned from exile and took the name Israel: a name inherited by the whole Jewish people long before it designated a nation-state. That single name unites the patriarch, the people, and the promised land.

The history of the Jewish people is intertwined with the history of humanity. What role did Jews play in the fall of Byzantium? How have they influenced the Christian church? What role did they play in the two terrible “European civil wars” of the first half of the twentieth century?

Yahweh’s people has always lived apart from the rest of humanity, endlessly reproducing the same Biblical schema: the Babylon captivity, the flight from Egypt, the Book of Esther. This psychological template for the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob unites them, alone against the world, from the vengeance holiday of Purim to the sacralized memory of the Holocaust. Even the creation of the modern nation-state of Israel has had no effect on the “invisible walls” of the “Jewish prison.”

This book is not just a scholarly inquiry into the history of an idea. It is also an appeal to our Jewish brothers and sisters to liberate themselves from a mythology that imprisons them in a schizophrenic relationship to the world. Alternately a chosen people and a cursed people, a people carrying a divine message and a people who kill the divine messengers, eternal guides to humanity and its eternal victims: To be born Jewish is to be born beneath the heavy weight of 2,500 years of history.

Review

This is a remarkable book in many ways... There is no question of the extraordinary gifts and achievements of the Jewish people and of their enormous contribution to American culture and intellectual life. Also, we all know that Zionists play a large role in United States in the media, in finance, and in international policy. In addition we know that there is rather tight censorship with respect to what may be said about these matters without ad hominen response. The fact of Gentile crimes against Jews throughout history is used to justify this censorship, much, but not all, of which is self-imposed. In my view, through their role in this censorship, Jews are paving the way for the rise of anti-Jewish feeling and perhaps much worse. This book may be simply dismissed as anti-Jewish, but it would be far better to engage it in a scholarly, rather than an ad hominem, way. Instead of discouraging scholars from considering the evidence of Jewish crimes, I wish that Jewish scholars would support freedom of inquiry and explain their reasons for disagreeing in open discussion. Otherwise those of us who seek uncensored truth may be misled by errors and exaggerations in what is usually hidden from us and is presented only at the margins of our society. Much in this book is offensive to Christians and Muslims as well as to Jews. As a Christian, however, I find the offense to be a stimulus to fresh thinking and repentance. What is selected to be said about us is certainly not the inclusive truth. But it has its truth, and the truth it has should not be neglected. -John B. Cobb, Jr., theologian, philosopher, and environmentalist

Among his many roles as a public intellectual, Dr. Kevin Barrett has become one of the most important voices of Muslim self-defense in an America plagued by harsh Islamophobic responses to false flag terrorism. An expert commentator on the 9/11 wars against Islam for Israel, this populist scholar has expanded his repertoire as an educator. Dr. Barrett has translated from French to English Laurent Guyénot's ground breaking text, From Yahweh to Zion. Now the English-speaking world has access to the startling interpretations of a Sorbonne-trained medievalist who courageously goes where other scholarly activists fear to tread. With his newest book Dr. Guyénot claims his place as one of the world's most controversial anthropologists and historians of Jewish religion, ethnicity, psychology and interactions with non-Jews. His provocative explorations extend to his chronicling of the roles of Israeli-centered operatives in the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy and in the violent incursions of September 11, 2001. In both instances Guyénot looks at the Zionist infiltration of the revisionist movements devoted to criticizing the dishonest official cover stories. The purpose of these infiltrations, Guyénot asserts, is to plant alternative characterizations of the two horrific crimes as inside-the-USA-jobs rather than as Mossad jobs. Huge energy is being invested in obscuring the Israeli connection to events that in 1963 and 2001 transformed the landscapes of global geopolitics. No doubt the thought police will mobilize to prevent Dr. Barrett's English translation of Guyénot's new book from receiving the high level of attention and critical commentary this challenging volume deserves. Such obstructionism should not be allowed to succeed. Intrepid truth seekers have sound reason to interrogate a unique text speaking forthrightly to some of the most forbidden yet strategic topics of our times. In breaking through the taboos Guyénot details the inequities and repressions he sees flowing from intense internal contradictions. These contradictions pit Yahweh's personality as the Jewish tribal God against his role as the Divine Father of a creed claiming universal scope. -Prof. Tony Hall, Globalization Studies, University of Lethbridge

About the Author

Laurent Guyénot was born in France in 1960. After graduating as an engineer from the École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées in Paris, and working in the armaments industry in the United States for two years, he turned to the study of religious history and anthropology. He has earned a PhD in Medieval Studies in La Sorbonne, Paris, and has since authored several groundbreaking books in French on medieval "narrative anthropology," most recently The Bleeding Spear (2010) and Fairy Death (2011). He has also published an investigation into the psychological and social damage of mass pornography. He has been researching America's "deep history" for the last eight years, and has been a contributor to Voltairenet.org. His book JFK-911 is a signal contribution to our understanding of the common threads linking the two gravest Deep State crimes in American history.

Brilliant Analysis

Thank you, Laurent Guyenot, for this brilliant book! After looking into various conspiracy theories for a couple of years, I began to suspect that the answer to modern political problems might lie in the Old Testament. But who wants to break off their investigations to read the Old Testament? Well, I finally did, and what I discovered surprised me. It appears that nothing before Hezekiah is historical fact. Jeremiah may be historical to some extent. The prophets are pure Zionism, and it appears to me now that the desire to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies are in fact the inspiration of the Zionists who founded the state of Israel and those who are now running the government there, incredible as that might seem. Guyenot gives a compelling speculative reconstruction of what might have happened in Babylon and in the ensuing return to Jerusalem. His criticism of Judaism is from an Egyptian standpoint (you'll have to read the book to understand what that means). His detailing of some of Jewish history, particularly the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and the Marrano period, is critical information and generally unknown to modern day historians. His overview of modern history dispels any mistaken notions that modern Zionism started with Theodore Herzl. In fact Zionism goes back to the beginning of Judaism (if we ignore the pre-historical myths). I don't think his appeal to Jews to abandon their psychological prison will have any effect, he'll just be chalked up as another anti-Semite, but it's a hell of a try, and for the rest of us, we can see where we stand in the Jewish cosmological scheme.

Book From Yahweh to Zion very helpful in understanding the JQ

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2018

This has got to be one of the most significant books I have read in my entire life. I have been in the process of deconstructing many things I believed in the past that have turned out to be either not true, or not able to be proven in which case it is best to discard. And this book is a great help. I learned about the God virus theory of Dr. Darrel Ray from his book and found it very useful in understanding religions and movements and how they function and propagate. And building on that I would say that this book gives as full of a disclosure of the Old Testament God virus as I could imagine, and also how it influenced other God viruses that came later, such as Christianity. And these things have influenced history in profound ways. John B. Cobb Jr., a distinguished Christian theologian and specialist in process theology and author of many books wrote a lengthy recommendation for this book that appears just behind the book's cover. Quoting Cobb in part, he says, "This book may be simply dismissed as anti-Jewish, but it would be far better to engage it in a scholarly, rather than an ad hominem, way. Instead of discouraging scholars from considering the evidence of Jewish crimes, I wish that Jewish scholars would support freedom of inquiry and explain their reasons for disagreeing in open discussion."

A very thoughtful and interesting view into Judaism

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have read many books about Judaism, as I have had a long term philosophical interest into the religion that formed the basis of my faith, Christianity. This book posits in very plain language and in concrete example that the Jews relationship to Yahweh is not at all the relationship of Christians to their God. In short, they are not the same universal Beings. Yahweh is presented as the vengeful (eye for an eye), angry and jealous God of the Jews. This shocked me, as I always believed that there was only one Judeo/Christalian God whose relationship to all Man was that of a loving Father to Son. Perhaps this is a theological explanation for the endless generations of Jews (Semite or Khazar) who both suffer persecution from non-Jews but also inflict horrific acts of deceit, theft and violence against non-Jews. While certainly not a definitive source on the historical Jewish Question, it seems thoughtful, robust and very honest in approaching this subject.

After a lifetime of non-affiliated neutral observation, this work by Laurent Guyenot is a brilliant summation of the people and events that brought us into our current demented and distracted reality. Perception is a reflection of conditioning and that conditioning becomes one's story, true or not. This book will be a great revelation to some and an abomination to those who are so conditioned.

Interesting bits if you read critically, but also a lot of nuttery

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018

This book contains quite a bit of interesting, factual history. It's also loaded with insane conspiracy theories the author stitches together with the flimsiest of evidence. It would have been far more effective to focus on Jewish Supremacy and Racism, which can be traced from the Talmud all the way to present-day national policy in Israel. The noxious beliefs at the center of the Torah and the Talmud are every bit as reprehensible as anything in the Koran or the Bible. In fact, the worst part of the Bible happens to be the Old Testament, or Jewish bible: it is this book which urges us to stone adulterers, among other depravities, and which exhibits a bloodthirsty tribal God who smites the gentiles repeatedly.

Comprehensive Guide to the Jewish Question

‘There is only one serious ultimate issue in all of politics: the Jewish globalist conspiracy, all the rest being nothing but babblings, lollipops, dronings, and confetti!’ - Céline, Trifles for a Massacre

Every once in a while there arrives a tome that provides one with everything he needs to know about a certain subject - Guy Arnold’s volume on the recent history of Africa being one example. When that subject is of extraordinary importance, yet is treated as a taboo, one can well imagine just how valuable the volume is. Such a book is Laurent Guyénot’s ‘From Yahweh to Zion’, (hereafter FYtZ) - a much needed, highly readable guide to the origins, theology and historical impact of Judaism.

The author commences his study with the inception of Judaism, not as its proponents have portrayed it, but as archaeological and historical research have established. He then situates Hebrew theology, particularly its deity Yahweh, in the context of Ancient Egyptian polytheism, thereby showing it in a most revealing light. The interactions of the Jews with various peoples in the Ancient World are then reviewed, followed by their historical journey over the last two thousand years, culminating in their immense influence on the last few centuries. The tome concludes with a sharp psychological analysis of Yahweh and his circumcised children.

FYtZ has eleven chapters, each divided into smaller sections, usually consisting of a few pages. This makes the book very easy to read, especially since each section is self-contained to some extent. The author’s clear writing style, assisted by the efforts of the translator, Kevin Barrett, tends to facilitate understanding: for a text that considers some fairly sophisticated topics, I found it a most enjoyable read.

I have a few minor quibbles with the otherwise splendid FYtZ. The author completely ignores the Hexateuch theory, and also seems to be unaware of David Astle’s ‘The Babylonian Woe’. Thus, whilst he suggests ‘One of the revolutionary contributions of biblical religion in the world is the transformation of money from a means of exchange to a means of power and even war’ (page 84), the possibility that Judaism is the creation of Babylonian usurers who mastered the use of money-lending as a means of secretly subjugating the Mesopotamian city-states and their deities to their one true god (i.e. money) is not considered, which is a pity. He also neglects (perhaps because he considers it outside his domain) the enormous, almost overwhelming influence of Judaism on Islam - such that one might credibly say that whilst Christianity is Judaism diluted with paganism, Islam is concentrated Judaism.

Nonetheless, Monsieur Guyénot’s masterpiece is a tour-de-force, which not only educates the reader about Judaism and its adherents, but also provides him with the key to accurately understanding various Jewish creations - such as Marxism and Zionism, as well as the underlying theologian’s instinct that Nietzsche boldly denounced in ‘The Antichrist’. Whilst the author hopes that Jews will revolt en masse against theocratic tyranny, his tome is most useful in alerting and informing innocent gentiles about the insidious influence of the mad god Yahweh and the malign machinations of his ‘chosen people’.

An awesome collection of material towards understanding 3000 years of dialectic spiritualism

Reviewed in Germany on February 13, 2020

"Dont try to understand us people" the guard kept repeating when I visited Budapest Synagogoue some times ago.
Having read only the teaser and the Amazon preview, I surely believe him why many "Choosens" don't want us "Gentiles" to undesrstand what drives them.

There goes a saying that the one who does not understand history, is deemed to repeat it.
The history of the "Chosen" is so much intertwined with that of the "Gentiles", that one never can understand the one without the other. Understanding this may be tantamout to end the accelarating spiral of repetitive history we face up to day, culmintaing towards "armageddon" in a foreseeable future.

At school, I used to be bored from all those seemingly unconnected details of history. But this book spins a red thread through thousands of years of events uncomprehensible otherwise, giving meaning to all those interconnections. I literally devoured it, within a few days, fascinated, from the first page to the last.

I use to post yellow notes on the edge of all my books, where I find important thoughts, potential "heureka" style challenges to my hitherto thinking, or to note contradicting view. Many good books carry a dozen of them, but this book costed me three stacks of post-it notes.

For long, I suspected, that the Lord were a gambler, and the name of the gamble is evolution. In this book we learn, how Yahweh's people strive to be the winner in that game - for already three thousands of years now. They have realized, that the level of evolution moved from cell to individual, to tribe, to people.

But, in my opinion, they have missed that eveolution also moved from a material focus to a spiritual one. It was no one else than Jesus of Nazareth who told them - for sure not the first one, but he delivered this message right into the center of their live. So I read' the chapters as a developping history of dialectic spiritualism - in stark contrast to the dialectic materialistic teaching of the bolshewists. When the demiurg, after finishing the creation of matter, developped spiritual feeling, the Yahweh style jealousy was complemented by a loving heart, as Schiller rhymed it:
"Brothers, above the starry canopy -There must dwell a loving Father".

Is this book anti-semitic?
Well, I would not refute the idea to classify it as an evolutionary step beyond Douglas Reed's "Controversy of Zion" - which is labelled "anti-semitic", according to wikipedia. Compared to that, it shows much more detail, but also tries to stick to strictly neutral diction. But, above all, it's written by a memeber of the chosen people themselves. So, by "their" definition, it may not be blamed as "anti-semitic", but as "self-hating" - an accusation, which the author himself frankly anticipates.

Somewhere along reading, I arrived at the conclusion, that "chosenness", "equal human rights" and the "Kantian imperative" can never go all three together. So, yes, one may drop "chosenness", and call this "anti-semitic". Or one may drop equality, ending up in an Orwellian-bolshewist style Leviathan of working "Goyim", commanded by a "Chosen" intelligentsia. Or one may drop the Kantian imperative, thus dropping logic reasoning in political practice, be it in the form of common sense, in the form of effective conduct of government, or in the form of a consistent workable state of law.

The last choice we know as "political correctness" as practised all over the West and exaggerated to imbecility and threatening collapse in contemporary Germany, built upon Art 139 of the German Basic Law aka "Grundgesetz".
There is so much dazzling political correct shouting out there, that some decent, well elaborated, non-aggresive backlighting as delivered only can provide a positive contribution towards an integral picture of truth and towards international understanding of peoples.

Finally, If we accept that demiurgic materialism is not an end, but an evolutionary level to pass by, we all - individuals, groups, peoples, societies, the whole humanity - face the decision to opt for jealousy or love. Towards a wise choice, Laurent Guyenot's book at hand is a great enrichment.

For the gentile, to learn the signs not only of pathocratic individuals, but also of pathocratic structures - thus becoming empowered to foil pathocracy. And to assure the right way to go ahead.
For the chosen, to make a personal decision guided by love, not hate. If all of them were aware what's going on, maybe, the idea of "Exodus" could gain a new, different, peaceful momentum - just look at the cover image.

If this succeeds, armageddon will not be the end of the world as we love it, but more akin the creative destruction of old thinking of conflict, as layed out in the "Götterdämmerung" by Richard Wagner.

So I hope, my Budapest Synagogue guide will read this book, too, to understand why any Gentile WILL try to understand his People. And, maybe, even tell some of his brethren.

Sad to see that I only can attribute five stars here.
If it were possible to submit proposals for the Nobel Peace Prize via Amazon, I would do so, too.
Well, ony if the author feels well among that many peers carrying this Prize in pathocratic abuse, of course.
