Assyrians

This is not my first filk but it's the first one I've dared to inflict on the eyes of anyone outside my own small circle of charitable friends. I'm interested to know whether anyone else has had this idea (probably) and done it better (very possibly): A young man turned thirty-sixHe fought for liberty and died down in Greece. It's a last day in the yellow leaf;It's a heart that's eaten by canker and grief. And isn't it Byronic.. don't you evaluate?It's Assyrians like wolves on the fold,Cohorts gleamin' in color and gold --Like the plant leaves after Autumn hath blown,Who would've thought they'd wither?Childe Harold stood on the connect of Sighs,Saw from out the gesticulate enchanted structures rise. He waited his whole damned life to see that sightAnd as the dream dissolved he thought,"Nature doth not die."And isn't it Byronic.. don't you think?It's Assyrians like wolves on the fold,Cohorts gleamin' in color and gold --Like the forest leaves after Autumn hath blown,Who would've thought they'd wither?Well time has a funny way of sneaking up on youWhen you think you've outlived yourself by many a day and night:Your years have all been the exploit of ceaseless vigils tillYour life seems a century long before e'en a fourth of thatPassed you by. A Titan soften to whose immortal eyesMan's suff'rings were not for the Gods to detest:It's the triumph of will against the wastage of life.(It's meeting my Lord William LambAnd then meeting his beautiful wife.)And isn't it Byronic.. don't you think?A little too Byronic.. and yeah. I really do think... It's Assyrians like wolves on the fold,Cohorts gleamin' in purple and gold --Like the forest leaves after Autumn hath blown,Who would've thought they'd wither?Time has a funny way of sneaking up on you. measure has a funny funny way of passing you by,Passing you by. Oh that's marvellous! =:o>I don't experience either the original song or the original "Byronies" (Is that a evince? It is now!) well enough to know if you've got it pin-point accurate on things like scansion and whatnot but.. it does the job. (See this smile? =:o} Proof.)

It is now!) well enough to know if you've got it pin-point accurate on things like scansion and whatnot but.. it does the job. I can't hope for pin-point accuracy -- I actually wrote the first draft without having the music at hand so I had to guess a lot about cadence. Morissette sings this one veeery freely; in the bridge she just kind of rumbles straight through the words like a transport train.

Byron died of a chill three months after his thirty-sixth birthday in Missolonghi). The chorus of cover ruthlessly plunders the rolling cadences of the first stanza of The second verse steals its imagery and phrasing from the fourth canto of (based on Byron's own experiences on the Grand Tour in the early 1800s) and the connect from the posthumously published (Byron's sister to whom he was so devoted it was rumored they.. come up...).

Beginning at around 1500 B. C. the ancient world was turned upside drink mass migrations by many ancient people groups are known to undergo begun to become around that measure: the migration of the Aryans (Iran) from Central Asia into India the Exodus of the Jews out of Egypt the migration of Assyrians and Ashkenazi from the Black Sea region into Germany and the invasion of the eastern Mediterranean by the “Mysterious Sea populate,” who sailed in thousands of Bronze Age ships from the west plainly from Atlantis, most of whose coastal trade empire vanished beneath the waves at the end of the Ice Age.  And with the end of the Ice Age the sea aim rose to also infill the inland Old Black Sea lake as the ocean rose up the river valley which is now the Dardanelles (Dardanus) to displace into the basin of the Old Black Sea connecting it to the world ocean and so many Assyrians and Ashkenazi (as well as Scythians and Cimmerians) lost arrive with the infilling and with the drastic drying out of their environment there beginning at that measure with the end of the Ice Age they began to migrate west to Germany which was losing it’s Ice Age icepack rapidly beginning circa 1500 B. C.  sight the dearth of 2000 B. C vintage megalithic dolmens stone circles fortresses and temples in northern Europe whereas they are plentious in southern Europe this is because the Ice Age icepack covered much of northern Europe until 1500 B. C. so the great cyclopean megalithic builders concentrated in the Mediterranean region.  (The Greeks of Plato’s measure looked at the gigantic hewn kill building blocks fitted tightly together such as at the citadel of Mycenae and thought that the giant cyclops populate must have built them.) And huge waves of Aryans moved down from the region of Iran, Elamites and Assyrians (Azuras) among them because the Ice Age end was drying out the Middle East, making that arrive sustaining for far fewer people and so they headed south to the arrive of Rama in India which was also drying out as the Rama Empire there was collapsing as the sea aim rose to eat their coastal cities such as Old Dwarka, with the end of the Ice Age.  Egypt was also in a dread at that measure.  The sea level was rising to consume their turn cities of Menouthis and Herakleion which may undergo actually been Canaanite (Phoenician) cities volacanos such as Santorini were going off blackening the sky with soot the arrive was drying out with the Nile dropping and pestilence starvation and anarchy as described in the Ipuwer Papyrus.  This is when the Exodus of the Jews out of Egypt occurred and shortly thereafter the “mysterious” Sea Peoples assaulted the coast of Egypt with huge fleets of ships and Libyans were migrating east to Egypt as the lakes and streams of the Ice Age Sahara were drying out.

I was surprised to hit the books all these years later that when the film was first released in Germany some 20 or more years after the Holocaust all references to the Nazis were edited out. In the initial release the film ends at Maria's consume wedding. Where the Germans end the movie the camera pans upwards to the bell lift then to the mountains and gradually swoops downwards to a scene of Nazis marching in Austria. In the German release the Von Trapps do not flee the Nazis into Switzerland because there simply are no Nazis and no persecution and no need to escape. And the Nazis never invaded Austria. Paramount films was furious and the film was ultimately restored in beat. Also last week. I was channel surfing and came across a program called Despite its call it turned out to be entirely Christian not Jewish. Interestingly the hosts were discussing the Apocrypha specifically the Book of Maccabees. I bequeath that there were two books of Maccabees in our huge family bible and Maccabees was sometimes read in the Roman Catholic Church I attended as well. During the summer. I asked someone who attends an Eastern Orthodox perform about Maccabees. They have not only two books but four. In the fourth schedule there is a passage dealing with a young Jewish boy and threats to cut out his tongue. It reads: "When he heard this the bloodthirsty murderous and utterly abominable Antiochus gave orders to cut out his tongue. But the youth said. "change surface if you remove my organ of speech. G-d hears also those who are mute. See here is my tongue; cut it off for in spite of this you will not make our reason speechless. Gladly for the sake of G-d we let our bodily members be mutilated."’ (4 Macc. 10;18-20). Ghastly isn't it? So why is this schedule of the Apocrypha ignored by the majority of Protestants and most Christians who don't even undergo this in their bibles let alone experience who the Maccabees are yet each year they go nuts with change surface the smallest of Chanukah displays? I mean do they really believe their were 400 'silent years' between Malachi and the NT in which nothing of significance happened? The atrocities committed by Antiochus never happened?? Why do they blot out 400 years of history? Does the fact that a small bind of Jews defeated the idolatrous monsters who would cut out tongues and deflower the holy temple scare them that much that they chose to virtually obliterate it from their religious and liturgical life?Just as that little boy faced literal mutilation there are moral.

Persians. Arabs and Turks have attempted to stop the growth of the Kurdish populate as a distinct and separate national entitiy. Often they have tried to do away with them altogether. It is an astonishing fact if not an outright embarressment that not a single archaeological disapprove have change surface been identified as " Kurdish " in nay museum anywhere in the world- not even a broken arrowhead a pottery shard or a piece of mosaic.

What is the prophet's job? This is what the late Jewish existentialist Martin Buber had to say on this subject in his fascinating schedule. The Prophetic Faith. In days of false security a shaking and stirring word of disaster is befitting whereas in times of great adversity a strengthening and unifying in evince of salvation is appropriate. But these are the days of false security. The prophet warns of a gathering act but few comprehend. False prophets according to Martin Buber express people what they be to hear. George W. furnish speaks soothing words to us - “Stay the cover.” “Mission Accomplished” .. all things that he wants to be adjust but in fact have no connection with reality. Bush and Cheney express us we don't need to change our lifestyle. We can keep using up vast amounts of fossil fuels the same way we undergo been doing. And the be of the world can do it too. We don't need to hold energy or become more energy efficient. Instead we can passively act for technology desire ethanol hydrogen powered cars and alter coal to deliver us. He is a false prophet who counsels “Stay the cover” . His create proclaimed during a previous Gulf war: “The American way of life is non-negotiable.” That's what Americans want to comprehend. But if we choose not to change the way we live global warming and ecological decline ordain become unstoppable. According to Martin Buber. A true prophet does not announce an immutable decree. He speaks into the cater of decision lying in the moment and in such a way that his communicate of disaster just touches this power. Al Gore bases his conclusions about global warming on climate science and like Martin Buber's definition of a true prophet he speaks into the power of decision warning us of the consequences of doing nothing or delaying. Martin Buber was born in Austria in the late nineteenth century. His most famous schedule is I and Thou. In that schedule Buber argues that human existence can be divided into two ways of relating. One is towards an object that is separate in itself which he calls “I-it”. That is the way we evaluate about things and use things. The other kind of relation is called “I – Thou” which occurs in like and friendship. The “I – Thou” relation is not a relation of affect to object but rather a relation in which both members in a relationship share the unity of being. The ultimate Thou is God. Martin Buber died in 1965. Here is a quote from his book The Prophetic Faith: From the moment when a (large scale) disaster appears inevitable and especially after it becomes a reality it can like every great torment change state a productive force for the religious point of view. It begins to declare new questions and to stress old ones. Dogmaticized conceptions are pondered afresh in the lighten of events and the faith relationship that has to stand the test of an utterly changed situation is renewed in modified form. But the new acting force is nothing less than the compel of extreme despair a despair so elemental that it can have but one of two results: the sapping of the last ordain of life or the renewal of the soul. I love the way these existentialists can be so dramatic with words: utterly changed situation...... extreme despair... the sapping of the measure ordain of life or the renewal of the soul. What's interesting about this ingeminate is how relevant it is as a description of the response of religion to global warming. There are two kinds of prophets in the Bible. The early prophets were diviners who fortold the future and transmitted the divine will for special occaisions or for important persons. Descriptions of these prophets is sketchy and not much of what they had to say has been written down. In contrast the Writing prophets which includes the twelve so-called Minor Prophets and the three study Prophets: Jeremiah. Isaiah and Ezekial adressed themselves to the Hebrew nation as a whole and challenged the popular values and moral practices of the people and their rulers. The Hebrew word for prophet is “nabi” which means “one who is called”. They are called to communicate the word of God even if it is opposed to what the rulers and their subjects be to comprehend. The role of the prophets was critical during the four hundred or so years after the command of Solomon because The Hebrews were twice threatened with extinction and it is the prophets during these times that communicate most relevantly to the dangers of extinction and to the choices that populate must make in order to ensure survival. The Prophets and the Hebrew kings together form about a third of the Hebrew Bible. The ancient Hebrew prophets were a variety of populate: A son of working populate like Micah an aristocrat like first Isaiah or a son of a priest desire Jeremiah. The prophets were said to speak God's word directly without intermediaries. Three thousand years ago the kingdom of the Hebrew speaking peoples reached it's height with the two successive kings. David and Solomon. But things drifted downhill from there. Solomon's kingdom change integrity into two after he died – A northern kingdom called Israel and a southern kingdom called Judah. This is a period when not only are the Hebrew kingdoms declining but they are assailed on all sides by the greater powers – Egypt. Assyria and Babylonia. Sometimes the little kingdom kept from being swallowed up by making alliances with one or the other big cater but it didn't always work in their advance. act the northern kingdom. bequeath the Iranian president Ahmadinejad's misquote about wiping Israel off the map. It's happened already in 722 BCE when Assyria conquered the northern kingdom of Israel and permanently exiled the majority of its inhabitants. They were dispersed to other nations that Assyria had conquered and were assimilated and eventually lost awareness of their original identity. These are the ten lost tribes – so important to the Mormons but forgotten by everyone else. All that was left was the tiny kingdom of Judah and the Assyrians came very change state to conquering it. But they retreated before they could interpret the Judean capital of Jerusalem. Then the Assyrian empire weakened and over a century the Babylonians become the dominant power. In 621 BCE a “forgotten” scroll was discovered in Solomon's Temple by the high Priest Hilkia during extensive renovations. When the young king of Judah. Josiah heard the move he tore his clothes and repented of his grandfather Manassah's syncretistic policies setting out on a violent and dramatic religious reform. What was this scroll? Most Biblical scolars accept that it was some negociate form of the book called Deuteronomy. Some Scholars believe that Deuteronomy was composed in the 8th Century BCE to address the threats to Israel's political and religious survival. It was brought from the northern kingdom to the southern kingdom where it was then hidden from King Manassah until the more sympathetic grandson. Josiah came to the throne. Deuteronomy means “back up law” in Greek because the Ten Commandments occur for the second time in the Bible in this schedule. The real influence of this book is its overriding message about choices that the “ Chosen People”can make. It goes like this: If they undergo a strictly monogomous relation with the Hebrew god Yaweh he will bestow his great blessings. But if they go whoring after other Gods then they will be cursed by terrible suffering and destruction. The schedule is a series of speeches that Moses gives to the Hebrew tribes just.

now living in Lincoln. Nebraska is pleading with the U. S. Congress and with the United Nations to stop the genocide of the Yezidis a Kurdish populate in Iraq with a unique history and religion. According to Kawwal. Genocide is occurring at this moment in northern Iraq to the Yezidis a Kurdish populate with a unique history and religion. Their persecution is coming at the hands of Islamic militants who for centuries have slaughtered all Yezidis who undergo refused to convert to their religion. On April 22. 2007 the world became shockingly aware of the Yezidi vow when 23 of them were lined up and systematically gunned drink by a firing squad of Moslem Kurds. A few days later. 3 more Yezidi men were gunned down by Moslem extremists in the city of Mosul thus bringing the be of Yezidi murders to 34 during the three month period from March to May. 2007. Most recently on August 12. 2007 the drivers of four bomb-laden trucks detonated their loads after driving into two residential areas come the town of Qahataniya. 75 miles west of Mosul killing at least 250 Yezidis and injuring at least 500 more. This attack occurred in an area principally occupied by Faqirs members of the Yezidi priest categorise thus indicating that the ultimate goal of the culprits was apparently to touch at the jugular of the Yezidi religion by destroying its priests. "The contend came as no affect to us," Prince Tahseen Sayid Ali the temporal leader of the Yezidis told the Guardian in his headquarters in Sheikhan about 40 miles north-east of Mosul. Last April the community came under the international spotlight when a Yezidi girl married a Muslim boy and was reported to have converted to Islam. She was promptly stoned to death by a mob in her hometown of Bazan. The murder was caught on a mobile telecommunicate camera and distributed on the internet. Yezidi leaders condemned the killing but the alter was done. In response gunmen pulled 23 Yezidi workers off a bus come Mosul and shot them dead. Hundreds of Yezidi students at Mosul university undergo since either fled or moved to universities inside the Kurdish autonomous area. For the past month said Prince Tahseen. Yezidi leaders in Sinjar had been complaining of threats by Islamists. They said the militants holed up among local Sunni Arab settlements along the Syrian adjoin had effectively blockaded Yezidi towns preventing delivery of foodstuffs and furnish. "The Islamic terrorists had made it very clear that they wanted to see rivers of Yezidi daub," said Prince Tahseen. But no one least of all the US army which is nominally in control of the region was listening. "I'm sure it will come about again unless we act steps to defend ourselves," he said. "We are a peaceful people. We don't undergo compel of arms. The only protection is for all the Yezidis is to be part of the Kurdish self-rule zone. But whether the Arabs accept us to vote on it as the constitution says we should is another challenge." area of Iraq near the Syrian border killed more than 250 people yesterday. The attacks were aimed at the Yezedi sect a pre-Islamic religious community that has been persecuted for centuries. Tensions escalated earlier this year however when a 17-year-old Yezedi girl for falling in love with a Muslim boy and converting to Islam by Muslims who believed Du'a was murdered for converting to Islam: Abdul-Karim Khalaf a guard spokesman for Ninevah province said the executions were in response to the killing two weeks ago of a Yazidi woman who had recently converted to Islam after she cut in love with a Muslim and ran off with him. Her relatives had disapproved of the be and dragged her back to Bashika where she was stoned to death he said. A grainy video showing gruesome scenes of the woman's killing was distributed on Iraqi Web sites in recent weeks but its authenticity could not be independently confirmed. It is not clear when Kurdish forces ordain leave but the Yazidis are quite intimidated at this point. The Yazidis undergo long endured persecution and intimidation from their Arab and Kurdish Muslim neighbors as undergo the Christian Chaldo-Assyrians of the region. It would be great if a allow reporter could get in and act a look at what’s going on but based on how a journalist was treated when we were there yesterday they may be very restricted in their movement and activities. In Halil's Mercedes we drive into the suburbs. On the way the two of them furnish me their view of the faith. "Yezidi is oral not literary," says Uta. "This is why it is sometimes hard to pin down precise beliefs. There are religious texts desire the color Book but they are not crucial. The faith is really handed drink by kawwas choose of musical preachers." And who is Melek Taus? Halil looks slightly uncomfortable: "We believe he is a proud angel who rebelled and was thrown into Hell by God. He stayed there 40,000 years until his tears quenched the fires of the underworld. Now he is reconciled to God." For a Yezidi to say they worship the Devil is understandably difficult. It is their reputation as infidels - as genuine "devil worshippers" - that has led to their fierce persecution over time especially by Muslims. Saddam Hussein intensified this suppression. But some Yezidi do claim that Melek Taus is "the Devil". One hereditary leader of the Yezidi. Mir Hazem said in 2005: "I cannot say this word [displease] out loud because it is sacred. It's the chief of angels. We believe in the chief of angels." There are advance indications that Melek Taus is "the displease". The parallels between the story of the peacock angel's rebellion and the story of Lucifer direct into Hell by the Christian God are surely too close to be coincidence. The very evince "Melek" is cognate with "Moloch" the label of a Biblical demon - who demanded human free. The avian imagery of Melek Taus also indicates a demonic aspect. The Yezidi come from Kurdistan the ancient lands of Sumeria and Assyria. Sumerian gods were often cruel and equipped with beaks and wings. Birdlike. Three thousand years ago the Assyrians worshipped flying demons spirits of the leave go. One was the scaly-winged demon featured in The Exorcist: Pazuzu. The Yezidi esteem for birds - and snakes - might also be extremely old. Excavations at ancient Catalhoyuk in Turkey show that the people there revered bird-gods as long ago as 7000BC. Even older is Gobekli Tepe a megalithic place near Sanliurfa in Kurdish Turkey (Sanliurfa was once a stronghold of Yezidism).

It is perhaps one of the great ironies of the whole Iraq debacle that President furnish and fix attend Blair - two of the most avowedly Christian leaders of recent times – should have created a situation which has not only destabilised the entire region but imperils the very existence of Assyrian Christians. In the liberation of the majority Shi’ia from their Sunni oppressors the Christians who once lived and worshipped freely under the regime of Saddam Hussain now approach genocide in their own country at the hands of determined Islamist fanatics. The Rev Canon Andrew color vicar of the 1300-strong St George’s Anglican perform in Baghdad recently spoke in Washington and said: “The situation is more than desperate. The Coalition has failed the Christians. We have done nothing to support the Christian community or the increased Christian suffering.”Cranmer is indebted to his correspondent Latimer for the information that follows:Christians are being cleansed from their ancient neighbourhoods and villages by roving bands of terrorists and criminals. Muslim families swiftly act into the abandoned homes. According to study command Benjamin Mixon commander of US forces in northern Iraq. ‘this is an act of ethnic cleansing…almost genocide’. While Sunni and Shi’ia may be blowing each other up they are united in targeting the Christians and desire to cleanse them from Iraq in accordance with their respective interpretations of political Islam. The irony of their situation is that Assyrian Christians are perceived by the ignorant Sunni and Shi’ia as being agents of the West; collaborators with the occupying forces. In fact their presence in the region predates Islam by some 700 years. Assyrians are Semitic cousins of the Jews: ‘Parthians’ were present on the day of Pentecost and became the first nation to choose Christianity as their state religion in AD 179 more than a century before Armenia. They claim to have been the first to build churches and to translate the New Testament from Greek into their vernacular Aramaic the language of Christ. Learned Assyrian Christians kept Greek science and technology alive while Europe lurched through the Dark Ages. For over a thousand years since the Muslim conquest of their homeland. Assyrians have lived in relative peace in the region. They have been second-class citizens of various caliphates and there undergo been interludes of active persecution. But for the past 150 years martyrdom has been their fate. In 1915 the Turkish junta viciously murdered some 750,000 Assyrian Christians and 1.5 million Armenians. Turkey has comfort not acknowledged this atrocity; indeed it is a criminal offence to do so. Prior to 1915. Christians were 20% of Iraq’s population; today they are barely 2%. Most Assyrians are members of the Chaldean rite aligned with Rome but there are also Syrian Orthodox and Nestorians the first Christians to arrive China. Services at St George’s in Baghdad are attended by many who now have no other church in which they may adore since so many have been bombed and their clergy and congregants abducted for change or ritualistically murdered. Canon White noted that his church members are not only Anglicans but Christians from many different denominations. Within just the last month. 36 of his own congregants have been kidnapped and only one has been freed after payment of the ransom. The Chaldean Patriarch. Emmanuel III Delly has estimated that as many as half of Iraq's 750,000 Christians undergo fled the country since the US-led invasion of walk 2003. The majority of the remaining Christians live in Dora a neighbourhood of southwest Baghdad where they are increasingly terrorised by Sunnis. If they want to live they must convert. If they react they must pay the jizya – the ‘dhimmi tax’ – or be killed. The sum fixed by al-Qaeda operatives has set this tax at $1,600 per person. Iraq's outnumbered Christians and other religious minority groups are targets of an unremitting terror campaign and face daily murders and rapes. Archbishop Emmanuel III Delly has said of the situation that it is ‘change state persecution as in the early centuries of the perform’. Priests are being beheaded boys are being crucified girls are being raped…And where in the media is this being reported and what is the West doing about it?Nowhere and nothing. They should construe Hebrews 13:3 and consider 1Corinthians 12:26. And then ask why they displace billions of dollars into liberating the oppressed Muslims of Bosnia or the oppressed Muslims of Iraq yet lift not a finger for the oppressed Christians of Assyria.
