This is simple: Emerson was not a satanist. Protestants are not satanists. Maybe the “new age” was at bottom satanic because it was a manipulation for a nefarious purpose. My impression of the transcendentalists were that they were sincere seekers, although it’s not my thing, I still can call them innocent. On the other hand, the leaders of the new age movement were sometimes on ego trips and could really mislead people—especially since they had the annoying habit of quoting the New Testament without proper references, making it look like they came up with “the Truth will set you free.” etc. I know the Twelve Steps has done good work but it also borrows without referencing the Catholic traditions and quotes without referencing—which should be OK but not when they are anti-Catholic. The problem is that there is genuine insight and truth in these movements—you just have to be careful. But care should be taken too in not slandering and demonizing what we don’t understand. Now the new age is as they say old hat—someone said that first and it wasn’t me. What isn’t true cannot sustain itself.

Listening to the debate about Emerson I was leaning toward Kevin’s view… but after hearing a discussion on Nietsche, Emerson and the idea of the ‘superman’ by Justin Podur, I’ve swung in the opposite direction. The superman concept is pretty Luciferian.

The most relevant part begins around 45:00. https://youtu.be/M-VvWLWxovs?si=Kl6ln1gChNdJZut6

E. Michael Jones misread Todd (has he really read the book?). Todd doesn't agree with Weber that the essence of Protestantism is the Puritan ethics. Todd stresses instead that protestantism was a game-changer not because of its ethics, but simply because the Protestants alphabetized Europe (well, Germany): people who read and write end up more intelligent. That's all what Todd is saying

And E. Michael Jones is mistaken on Todd: he is not a Jew. He is one-quarter jew by his paternal grand-father.

E. Michael Jones should be careful with his "chercher le juif!" and with his obsession with "the DEVIL!!!". He sometimes sounds as possessed!

What can we say about Waldo Emerson, but it's interesting to learn the truth about these phony heroes of the past.

Targeting health care workers and food providers is pure evil. These Jews will have to be removed by force from Palestine, or they will eventually be removed from the earth. What goes around goes around.

I predict unless International Jewry cooperates, every Jew on earth will be held responsible for these atrocities. As Dr. Jones always says, history will eventually reveal the truth and the lies will be exposed.

You also mentioned Bobby Bowers, who kind of appears like a martyr now, even though the Jewish controlled federal government hasn't killed him yet.

I wrote this at the time on my blog, and now it's more true than ever.

In October of 2018, Marshall explained to the listening audience, in her most serious voice, how the country of England is able to effectively count all of its squirrels without re-counting any of them. In her typical bigoted fashion she went on to say, "Oh, there's the one with the lazy eye, and there's the one with the lame foot, and there's the one with the broken tail."

Ironically, knowing the control that Jews have over our media, both left and right, two days later an obese man named Bobby Bowers went up to a place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called Squirrel Hill and killed eleven Jewish worshipers in what is described as being their "place of worship". Which makes this a hate crime under federal law because Jews are a protected class.

Not withstanding the tragedy of what Bowers did to innocent people who happened to be Jewish and Rebecca Marshall's sick joke, do Jews really deserve this status? Murder is still against the law, but claiming this was a Hate Crime against Jews because they are a protected class is very different since the penalties are far more severe.

It's true, Bowers had no right to kill these eleven worshipers, but he does have a right to hate Jews. Especially if he knows the true history of this widespread deception by wealthy Jewish people who control the international banking system. They say, "By way of war, we wage deception (against everyone who isn't Jewish)." But maybe it should be, "By way of deception, we wage war (against everyone who isn't Jewish)."

As I said on the other page, Ironic that the divine voice slips out of Jones mouth at the 12:28 mark as he proclaimed that, “the truth is transcendental, which means it’s an attribute of god”, which contradicts the entirety of his denunciation of Emerson (the transcendentalist!). LOL.

Jones believes Catholicism can do no wrong and always makes up rationalizations to justify their depraved behavior. For example, you mentioned the Cerro Petosi (Mountain of Silver) in Bolivia where the Spanish Catholics enslaved the Bolivians and stole 20,000 tons of silver. Jones denies it. Yes Pizarro was just as depraved as the Protestants. It was the Incas in Peru, not the Aztecs in Mexico. Jones is confused.

Rebellion is demonic? I suppose a believer in authoritarian religion (Catholicism) would think that. What about rebellion against tyranny, as the US founders did?

Emerson demonic? Ridiculous. Jones wouldn't recognize the divine voice within except by accident (see above).

The only thing Jones gets right is the Old Testament (and the Jews who believe in it). As Thomas Paine said, "Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel." [The Age of Reason]

The founders were Deists, not Christians, which I'm sure E. Michael would also find demonic.

This dialogue really held my attention. I have recently read "Emerson

The Mind on Fire" by Robert D. Richardson.

This was a great historical treatment of Emerson and certain details were left out by both Barret and Jones. Slavery, the existential, moral, and economic crisis of the early 19th century, dominated national discourse, and kept Emerson and Brown and many other up at night. Emerson was very involved in backing John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. "Christian" Catholic and Protestant and Jews and Muslims were all involved with slavery. I am with Adam Green on this one, the whole Hebraic mythos is out of control and ultimately anti-human. I currently identify as an "ex-jew" realizing that all of the Hebraic myth believers are really still in the "jewish" lane. One last point, Emerson quit the Unitarians and all of the Christians because of the immense hypocrisies. No one more point, I super recommend "The Mind on Fire" I think Emerson comes out looking pretty good.
