Thermopylae (The Remote Tools of Secret Institutions and Hyper-technological...)

Most, if not all, western Medias are Jewish-owned. Art (business) is
Jewish-owned. The whole movie industry is Jewish-owned. Just as, in
any ancient civilisation, any work of art was influenced and even
shaped by the world-outlook of those who were in power, so it is quite
clear that any current cultural product is bound to reflect to a
greater or lesser extent the Jewish forma mentis in the broadest sense
of the term. A difference between arts in ancient civilisation and
arts in modern ones is that, in the latter, arts have become, in
various respects, a means of antitraditional propaganda, whereas, in
the former, they were a natural manifestation of the respective genius
of the civilisation in which they originated and flourished, rooted in
transcendental archetypes and, thus, far from any need for
originality. On the cultural plane too, a war is currently being
fought, by means of the most popular arts : music, television, movies,
cartoons, etc.

We are only stating the obvious. Coherence requires that Westerners
who are aware of the cultural aspect of the 'occult war' ask
themselves how art forms produced by individuals whose world-outlook
is radically opposed to the Western traditional one could possibly
express and, so to speak, manifest the latter. Save exceptions - very
few exceptions, which are basically so rare that we may feel like
dealing with one of them, from a non-cinematographic standpoint, in a
post -, history movies are either mere parodies or have more than one
parodic aspects. One thing is to deny purely and simply tradition (in
the Guenonian terminology, this is the main task of anti-initiation),
another thing is to parody it (still in his terminology, this is the
main goal of counter-initiation). There are various levels of parody,
from the consciously antitraditional one (see, for instance,
'Alexander') to the purely politically-motivated one, to which there
is no doubt that '300' belongs (Teheran's main newspaper was not wrong
in headlining, the day the movie was released in the United States :
"Hollywood has opened a new front in the war against Iran", but did
not go so far as to use a synonym for Hollywood : "Jewry"). That
Alexander speaks just like a 'neo-cons', just as, leaving aside the
incommensurable gulf which exists between their rigid and heavy
rhetoric and the elegance, the simplicity and the power of
alexandrines such as Racine's, Phedre, in the latter's well-known
tragedy, sounds and behaves like a lady of contemporary nobility.

No matter how caricatural it may seem at first sight, there appears to
be something subtle about a Hollywood movie like '300', something
unusually subtle which does not seem to have been perceived by those
who have come down strongly on it, including Iranians, who have
criticised it in various respects, but not in the name of their Aryan
origins, which, however, as de Gobineau noticed, were obliterated by
other racial elements a long time ago. '300' is often seen as an
exemplification of the thesis of the 'clash of civilisations', whose
postulate is that religion is one of the two main factors triggering
local and international conflicts in twenty-first century wars . Do
religious factors play a decisive part in the conflict between these
Spartans and these Persians ? They don't. The latter are not described
at all as religious fanatics or 'fundamentalists', but as warriors.
Besides, while Xerxes is depicted as a sort of monster in Miller's
comic book series and with Asian features in Herodotus, he has a
rather androgynous appearance in the movie.

Besides, Xerxes' army was far more cosmopolitan than that which is
showed in the movie and all one has to do to realise this is to read
a passage of the seventh book of Herodotus where Persian forces are
reviewed :

"Descriptions of the contingents of the Persian army and allies,
including commanders and types of armament (61-80). 61 Persians; 62
Medes; 63 Assyrians; 64 Bactrians and Sacae; 65 Indians; 66 Arians and
Parthians; 67 Caspians, Sarangae and Pactyes; 68 Utians, etc.; 69
Arabians and near-Egyptian Ethiopians; 70 Eastern or Libyan
Ethiopians; 71 Libyans; 72 Paphlagonians and Cappadocians; 73
Phrygians; 74 Lydians; 75 Thracians; 76 Pisidians? ; 77 Cabalians and
Milians; 78 Moschians, etc.; 79 Marians, Colchians, etc.; 80 Red Sea
islanders. Command levels by multiples of ten (81). The high command
is described (82). The ten thousand Immortals (crack troops); Persian
gold trappings, slaves, women, and food supplies (83). Cavalry (84).
The Sagartian cavalry and their lasso use (85). Other cavalry
contingents; cavalry, chariots, and camels (86). Total cavalry said to
number 80,000 (87). Cavalry commanders; the accident of Pharnuches
(88). Description of ships in the Persian navy, and armaments of the
marines (89-98). Total triremes (warships) said to number 12,007. 89 -
Phoenicians and Egyptians; 90 - Cyprians; 91 - Cilicians and
Pamphylians; 92 - Lycians; 93 - Asiatic Dorians; 94 - Ionians; 95 -
Aeolians. The superiority of the Phoenician navy; Hdt.'s decision not
to name the native commanders (96). The admirals and other naval
champions. 3,000 smaller ships (98). Queen Artemisia of Halicarnassus;
her wisdom and courage (99). Xerxes reviews the troops on land and sea
(100)."

Xerxes' army is also described as an army of slaves : "They [the
barbarians] have abundance of gold, of silver, and of brass ; they
enjoy a profusion of every article of dress, have plenty of cattle,
and a prodigious number of slaves" ('Herodotus', translated from the
Greek by W. Belloe, London, 1812). The battle of Thermopylae has been
held both by ancient and modern authors as an example of the
superiority of an army of native freemen defending their homeland to
secure it from tyranny. The U.S. army, which the spectator is supposed
to be led to see behind-the-scenes, is as cosmopolitan, as ineffective
and relatively as numerous as Xerxes' (according to Herodotus, Xerxes
amassed an army and a fleet numbering over 5,000,000 men, a number
ruled out as "exaggerated" by many modern historians) was. In this
context, the freedom exalted here is the shapeless and destructive
democratic one, that of the slave in the Aristotelian sense. A
dialogue is typical of the feelings which modern democratic
governments of countries at war strive to instill in their population
: when, after his son was killed by a Persian, Captain tells Leonidas
: "I fill my heart with hate", the latter replies, "Good".

In '300', the Delphic oracle, surrounded with horribly disfigured
Ephors, foretells doom if Leonidas sallies forth into combat during
the festival of Carneia. While visiting the oracle, Leonidas is warned
: "Trust the gods. Your blasphemies have cost us enough already." The
king dismisses the Ephors as "diseased old mystics" and, as such,
could be considered as a blasphemer, as an outlaw, hadn't the Ephors
been depicted as secretly taking bribes from Xerxes to deter the
Spartans from going to war. In dismissing corrupt and lascivious
representatives of the law, Leonidas thus appears as a righteous and
even pious man : he tells his troops to "pray to the gods" and a
storm which sinks a great number of Persian ships is attributed to
Zeus' wrath. Given recent history, it is quite easy to see how this
scenario could be applied to the United States warmongering against
various Asian countries.

Herodotus' account is quite different. Sparta, as was customary before
setting out to war, did consult the oracle, which made the following
prophecy :

O ye men who dwell in the streets of broad Lacedaemon!
Either your glorious town shall be sacked by the children of Perseus,
Or, in exchange, must all through the whole Laconian country
Mourn for the loss of a king, descendant of great Heracles.
He cannot be withstood by the courage of bulls nor of lions,
Strive as they may; he is mighty as Jove;
there is nought that shall stay him,
Till he have got for his prey your king, or your glorious city.

Thus, the Delphic oracle does not counsel Leonidas against war. In
fact, she does not even speak to him. She speaks to all Spartans,
providing them with an alternative : either their city will be
destroyed by the Persians or it can be saved by the sacrifice of Leonidas.

"[Leonidas] had come to Thermopylae, accompanied by the 300 men which
the law assigned him, whom he had himself chosen from among the
citizens, and who were all of them fathers with sons living. The force
with Leonidas was sent forward by the Spartans in advance of their
main body, that the sight of them might encourage the allies to fight,
and hinder them from going over to the Medes [Persians]…They intended
presently, when they had celebrated the Carneian festival, which was
what now kept them at home, to leave a garrison in Sparta, and hasten
in full force to join the army. The rest of the allies also intended
to act similarly; for it happened that the Olympic festival fell
exactly at this same period. None of them looked to see the contest at
Thermopylae decided so speedily; wherefore they were content to send
forward a mere advanced guard…"

So, truly, he had the law on his side, and the decision to hold back
the army was not motivated in any way by a pacifist tendency, as
suggested in '300'.

The author of 'The Host and the Parasite', despite the democratic
prejudices which spurred him to call Sparta a "police-state", rightly
notes that "the interconnectedness among the Greek city-states is
almost entirely absent. Although Miller does show 1,000 Arcadians
joining Leonidas's forces, this is depicted as an incidental offer,
rather than a deliberate attempt by Leonidas to recruit allies. In
all, 4,000–5,000 Greeks from Corinth, Philius, Mycenae, Thespis,
Thebes, Phocis and other cities came to Thermopylae led by their own
captains", and that, both in '300' and in Herodotus, Leonidas is
showed as having "deliberately sacrificed Spartan, Theban and Thespian
lives in futile battle" "rather than retreat to a more defensible
position like the Isthmus of Corinth." Whether the Greek stand at
Thermopylae was wasteful or heroic, it did give the Athenians time to
flee the city for the safety of Tiryns and the Island of Salamis
before Xerxes's army sacked it. For that reason, the Spartans and
other Greeks at Thermopylae are justifiably revered as defenders of
Greek independence."

In conclusion, let us now make a general statement.

Any product marketed by the forces of antitraditional subversion is
caracterised by the mix of a few factual truths with falsehoods and
utter lies, the former being used as lures to lead one astray and to
persuade one that the latter are actually truths.
