Review
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

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’.
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.
