parts only ; the"thing" was getting overloaded. Any University Professor who can read had better noticed what is really going on the Halls of Learning so-called. There is something unclear about every other author of any importance listed in the Library Catalogues. (Or more that just every other author of any importance).

Before your work by tampered with, Professor, be not misled by somebody's "differences of opinion" : where there are only somebody's fabrications and/or distortions — WPT, Sept 07.

  Beranger wrote 'The Holy Alliance of People' ; Lamartine, his 'La Marseillaise de la Paix.' In Geneva, Count Cellon organized a peace union, in whose name he began a propaganda correspondence with all european powers. From America the learned blacksmith, Elihu Burritt, scattered his 'Olive Branches' and 'Sparks from an Anvil' in pamphlets throughout the world, and was the chairman of a convention of English friends of peace ....

In the year 1863 the French government proposed to calla congress of the powers, to consider the means of brining about general disarmament and a combined agreement to avoid future wars'

Mark Well, Professor (any any person who would prefer facts of the history and not some newly discovered materials).
      Regardless of any 'mystic' connotations, Karl Kellner seems to have been a fine scholar and an able writer. i have found the above-listed titles at the University of California ; the data seem credible (did "they" forget about this author, those 'specialists' over there ?).
      The dates of birth given by the UC, however, seem suspect. By the more credible sources, he was born in 1851. (The UC give "1837-1915". That implies that Karl Kellner was 53 years of age when presenting his dissertation at " Bonn. Universitďż˝t", as given in the very catalogue. This is but another such example clearly seen in the UC data-base. I'm skeptical).
      This author was not found at all at the New York Public Library, by me today (May 07). I do not why, the "reasons" can be extremely "complex" for such phenomena. Please note this, Professor ; this man Karl Kellner (I suppose the name itself is given correctly but one never knows with those people ; I do not mean the 'mystics' but the data-base 'specialists'), was not a marginal figure in the exact course of the history. — (WPT).

.. writings that may be referred to . . . are some of the tracts of Samuel Hartlib, or Hartlieb, a learned Protestant German Pole, whose parents, under the pressure of Jesuitical dominion, had migrated from Poland to West Prussia. Hartlieb went to England about 1630, and became active as a diplomat and as the promoter of all kinds of movements that aimed at the common weal. He made translations into English of various writings of Comenius, the famous pedagogue of the Bohemian Brethren (1592-1671), besides himself writing various essays on education. Keenly interested in the better cultivation of the soil, he established a small model farm and published popular works on agriculture as practiced in Flanders, bee-keeping, fruit-growing, etc. . . . He had maintained relations with the most eminent men in England. . . .  The great Comenius wrote that he did not know of anyone who equalled Hartlib in the extent of his knowledge."

* Isaac Watts (1674-1748).

LOGIC is the Art of using Reason well in our Enquiries after Truth, and the Communication of it to others.
      Reason is the Glory of human Nature, and one of the chief Eminences whereby we are raised above our fellow Creatures the Brutes in this lower World.
      Reason, as to the Power and Principle of it, is the common Gift of God to all Men ; tho' all are not favoured with it by Nature in an equal Degree : But the acquired Improvements of it in different Men, make a much greater Distinction between them than Nature had made. ...
      Now the Design of Logick is to teach us the right Use of our Reason, or Intellectual Powers, and the Improvement of them in our selves and others ; this is not only necessary in order to attain any competent Knowledge in the Sciences, or the Affairs of Learning, but to govern both the greater and the meaner Actions of Life. ...
      The Pursuit and Acquisition of Truth is of infinite Concernment to Mankind. ...

Note   ... In the ... fruitful year [1734], Isaac Watts published the 2d edition (1st edition, 1733) of his Philosophical Essays on Various Subjects, viz., Space, Substance, Body, Spirit, the Operations of the Soul in Union with the Body, Innate Ideas, Perpetual Consciousness, Place and Motion of Spirits, the Departing Soul, the Resurrection of the Body, the Production and Operation of Plants and Animals : with some Remarks on Mr. Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding. To which is subjoined a brief scheme of Ontology, etc. Dr. Watts, 1674-1748, hymn writer and divine, also published a much-used Treatise on Logic, with a Supplement well known under the title of Improvement of the Mind. Watts ... did much for the maintenance and the wise direction of an interest in speculative thinking in England.

Quote

Thou art the sea of love,
Where all my pleasures roll,
The circle where my passions move,
And centre of my soul.

(Isaac Watts, quoted in So amazing, so divine, etc. Commentary by Hal M. Helms. Brewster-Massachuetts : Paraclete Press, 1997, p. 202.)

Comment   To me the prayer looks like sorts of symbolic activity by a human individual ; the objects thereof would lie on the non-verbal levels, fundamentally — that is, some earthly goods etc. to be obtained — or some personal attainment, some kind of union with God or a personal state of godhead.
      It seems that parts of the literature on such subjects could rather been understaood as having been inspired (than than arrived at by ratiocination) ; and there may have been various degrees of the inspiration present which might account for oft-seen appearances of ambiguity.
      'The centre of my soul'* (I. Watts) implies rather clearly that Lord (God) is a "part" of me — and not an external entity.
      'The circle where my passions move' : ditto.
      'The sea where my pleasures roll' bears out the pleasure vs. pain differentiation ; noting that these are a maxima - minima sorts of proposition (the many-valued logics of degree in some more nearly modern terms apply to this definition).
      The fragment used by me (as above) clearly pertains to one's (e.g. mine) aspiring to some higher levels of understanding, call it what you will ; whether one does or not postulate the existence of God as generally if often vaguely understood in the Occidental societies, there is little or nothing illogical, in such propositions.
      Sanity being a question only of degree (Korzybski) implies that some higher levels of spiritual awareness, spiritual attainment coincide with the higher levels of personal sanity by the individual, the distinction being merely verbal.
      (One excludes from this description any morbid states ; these are usually occasioned by one's personal 'unconscious', this a priori deemed unperceived by one but its actuality a posteriori verified in many instances — or by the physical threats, imagined or perceived, or by false data, often unperceived, from outside sources. To draw a line between the 'mystical' states and the 'morbid' states might often seem not an exact choice, but such are by definition the extreme states which have no bearing on the theory of prayer, this one or that one, in the main).
      One also remarks in passing that the higher spiritual attainment by the use of some chemical stimulants has been a sort of misconception which had gained some popularity in the latter parts of the 20th century. (This has been part of the religious traditions of many a local human society but it does not seem workable in the fast-paced cities etc. of the West so called).
      If the means by right the ends might warrant some considerations. There might be some use in some, not too voluminous, treatment of such subjects as the prayer in my opinion. — (WPT).

      * To me this 'my soul' looks elementalistic (verbal splitting of what cannot be split in nature) ; verbal 'distinction without division' (Carlyle). 'The soul' or 'this soul' could replace the exact expression in the verse ; but this one does not look jarring and there had been noting further deduced from the formulation in question hence this one seems relatively harmless. (WPT).

Opinion   Wm. Godwin published many other works, by the way. Here follows my perhaps incomplete knowledge of certain developments which seem to have been significant.
    It may have been Benjamin Franklin's idea of the sciences eventually achieving the man's body immortality. (Seems impractical to me) which had frightened one Thomas Malthus into a treaties on population.
    It seems that the first edition of said treatise contained some crude blunders. By my recollection, the second, or subsequent, edition was somewhat revised ; and it was on this count that Wm. Godwin had defended Tho. Malthus.
    On another line, Tho. Malthus had reportedly influenced Ch. Darwin. It may be not unfair to state that these developments had eventually brought about some non-survival mutations among the humans (especially 'philosophers' or, worse, 'ideologues').
    So far as I know Tho. Malthus' theses contained some purely mathematical errors. I think this may be worthy of clarifications. For some 'overpopulation' mongers seem to have been very hard at work towards leaving the planet (Earth) underpopulated.
    Is any 'overpopulation' a real problem ? Not outside the big cities, it seems. The problem may be underproduction, in many parts of the globe. But I do not know it all ; one eventually learns to be wary of crushing misconceptions which might tend to become popular error. This was one of such. — (WPT).

Note     In rendering Mr Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus available for English readers, the somewhat unusual course has been adopted of printing the original side by side with the translation.  Such a method of presentation seemed desirable both on account of the obvious difficulties raised by the vocabulary and in view of the peculiar literary character of the whole  As a result, a certain latitude has been possible in passages to which objection might otherwise be taken as over-literal.
    The proofs of the translation and the version of the original which appeared in the final number of Ostwald's Annalen der Naturphilosophie   (1921)   have been very carefully revised by the author himself ; and the Editor further desires to express his indebtedness to Mr F. P. Ramsey, of Trinity College, Cambridge, for assistance both with the translation and in the preparation of the book for the press.

Note : The hard copy materials give Frances Mason and no other name attached to the author. In the library catalogues I see Frances Baker Mason and I do not believe one single thing I see in the library catalogues any longer ; but there is no telling usually because some of the data are true after all. I also see a Frances Norton Mason, working during about the period considered ; this might be all true ; it might be one person who had married or the like ; it might be two different persons ; parts of these data migh0t be untrue and may any experts be found to take notice of such items before the entire history of science be made into hogwash by some 'specialists'. Please see, the expert, what is going on. (WPT).

Note " Scientific Name Abelia x grandiflora 'Frances Mason' Common Name Frances Mason abelia " : which is some kind of plant, seems likely to have been named after the Frances Mason considered — in view of her numerous connections in the scientific communities. Source :

Please by wary of anybody's "attacks" against some objectified 'religion'. There may have been at times some 'conflict' between 'science' and 'religion' ; presently, any such "conflict" is usually manufactured by some lying individuals with the merest purpose of spreading chaos, including the destruction of the most valuable scientific achievements by Man ; which are being obscured by reams of baloney often published IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.
      No scientific proposition is admissible unless it can be verified by empirical testing ; somewhat mysteriously, the rather obvious statement of principle is openly disregarded in the multiplicity of books on 'scientific' subjects presently seen.

Apart fro the Prime Minister only two other people were present: the Secretary of State for War, Anthony Eden, and the Minister of Economic Warfare, Hugh Dalton. There, that night, the decision was taken to form a secret organization with the name Special Operations Executive (SOE), whose task would be to co-operate with the underground movements in the countries occupied by Germans. ... ⁸

... For the British the land of their recent ally was was of great importance; for from it might come the German invasion, and it was the nearest territory on which, with American help, their counter-attack could be launched.

On Mr. Sinclair's Confounded Politics

      This looks all very good with the telepathy (which subject I would not propose as the most important one ; it may be important insofar as no public dumbing down be tolerated — by people who say such things are "impossible"),
      But the social justice stuff does not look to convincing. Can you enforce social justice, the reader ? (Or, achieve any such by stealth ?)
      So far as I can see any social justice can be achieved only be general elevation of understanding (by or of the individual), in other words, by right education, and this is something which no government will ever be able to provide "from above" ; it could only assure, to an extent, that no harmful "knowledge" should creep into the society. (The preceding simplicity might be still "too much to ask" of the present-day earthly governments).
      I found this on-line, "Of his gubernatorial bids, Sinclair remarked in 1951: "The American People will take Socialism, but they won't take the label. I certainly proved it in the case of EPIC. Running on the Socialist ticket I got 60,000 votes, and running on the slogan to 'End Poverty in California' I got 879,000."
      Mr. Sinclair (and, apparently, a whole bunch of 'Fabian socialists') had overlooked the following : no such thing as 'socialism' exists or can exist anywhere in the world other than as a label ; this one has been usually placed on some ill-defined notions, at best on some vague notions.
      I for one might be all for social justice : and I, personally, thoroughly dislike any ideas of having been ripped off by any, say, 'capitalist'. Nor would I want to continue being ripped off because of somebody's 'socialism'.
      The facts on the historic records look more or less so : When 'socialism' went "Fabian", its votaries forgot what was their 'cause' and began working for an idea of the (vague or non-existent) "cause" (i.e. social justice without plan or program — other than the oft-proclaimed destruction of 'class enemies' — which category, rather broad, included anyone who did not 100% agree with the 'socialist' and his ideas notably including the destruction of 'class enemies'.
      Other than that, some sorts of "nobody owns anything" propositions had been made. Is that social justice ? I for one find it difficult to conceive justice as "nobody owns anything" ; total injustice more like it — so it seems to me for one.
      Other than that, some propositions had been made of the "state owns the means of production" sorts. But the 'state' is a legal fiction. In practice, this would look more or less so : some bands of hungry bureaucrats control everything, own nothing of what they control, and therefore are responsible for nothing in the end. Other variants of such a scenario could be conceived, Hell any one of them. If I am mistaken at any of these points, please tell me, somebody, where exactly at.)
      One only hopes that Mr. Sinclair was sincere in his statements (this is a perennial question with any 'socialist' after 1917). — (WPT).

Note   "The writer ... placed his proof of the inaccuracy of the Laughlin¹ document before the entire membership of the Eugenics Committee,² but was unable to stir a single member publicly to repudiate the Laughlin study. Rather significantly, the only acknowledgement of his exposé came from Dr. Raymond Pearl, an outstanding authority on biometry who has not allied himself with the Eugenics Committee."

[etc., referring to the document as in Note 1 above]
    ... Dr. Laughlin, trained as a biologist, has devoted most of his professional career to research and statistical work in eugenics. He has been on he staff of the Carnegie Institution of Washington since its establishment in 1920. He has made special statistical studies for the U. S. Bureau of the Census. With the approval of Carnegie institution of Washington, he accepted appointment of "Expert Eugenics Agent" for the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, House of Representatives, in order that any legislation aiming to control future immigration to America might be founded upon mature judgments reached after a thought going scientific study of immigration problems. ...

Question would Raymond Pearl intitle his lectures 'man the animal' ? I have some reasons to suppose he would not. This is a post mortem edition ; quite possibly the 'obedience of the corpse' having been at play.

Quote   Disrobe this war business of the sheep's skin beneath which it operates and it will be found that a whole people are led, sometimes by a coalition of politicians and dealers in war materials, sometimes by the bureaucracy of the government itself, to believe they hate another nation by means of willful misrepresentation to them of that other nation. In most instances the bitter feeling aroused between several peoples as a prelude to war is the product of studied misrepresentation of perfectly friendly peoples, one to the other, and this misrepresentation, if not originated by, at least receives support from those who have been entrusted by their respective countries to maintain cordial world relations.

Note   " Recently an American disciple of Marx by the name of William,¹ after making a deep study of Marxďż˝s philosophy, came to the conclusion that the disagreement between fellow Socialists was due to defects in Marxian doctrines. He sets forth the view that the Social Question, not the material environment, is the determining force in history, and that the level of subsistence is the heart of the Social Question. In other words, the problem of livelihood is the central force in social progress ; and social progress is the central force in history. Since subsistence is an element in livelihood, the theory of the American scholar is in entire accord with the Kuomintang Doctrine of Livelihood. For over twenty years we have preached the Doctrine of Livelihood instead of socialism because the term livelihood is more exact and suitable to define the nature of the Social Question than these terms, socialism or communism. What is more interesting, this discovery on the part of the Marxian scholar and the development of new knowledge after the World War show so much more clearly that our Doctrine of Livelihood is consistent with the law of progress ...

      ¹ Maurice William:   The Social Interpretation of History.   New York, Upshitz Press, 1920.

Note the first edition of the text by William was "privately published". The text quoted above (University of Souther California, 1933) gives 'Upshitz Press', the New York Library features a title published the 'Lipshitz Press' ; one of these must be incorrect and they may be both wrong, after all — knowing the nature of some 'specialists' interested in these subjects.
    Also note that the first Chinese edition by Sun Yat-sen did also contain inaccuracies, certainly inadvertant, on his own part. The circumstances of his reading the text by William were perhaps a factor, Sun Yat-sen having been ill at the time ; as reported by some Chinese authors.(WPT).

THE FALLACY OF �CLASS STRUGGLE"

To solve the problem of livelihood, according to the American writer referred to above, is manďż˝s constant endeavor ; and thus it is the law of social progress—the gravity-law of history. This new theory of the social interpretation of history is fundamentally different from Marxďż˝s materialistic interpretation of history. . . . "

Note "William is right in denoting the class-warfare teaching of Marx as socio-pathological. For the class-war, when it has been unleashed by one party, has, on the whole, accomplished nothingďż˝save to render social life more difficult and to brutalize it, and to breed a class of paid labor leaders who make a business of Marxism. . . . "   ".. William's book is important, because it gives at last an entirely practical criticism of a doctrine which we take far more seriously than it deserves."

Note   "Of all the strange chapters in the history of East and West there can be none stranger than this, that the founder of the Chinese republic and the spiritual leader of the new China found in the writing of an unknown American author so clear a statement of the solution of the hardest problem in his political philosophy...

Note from The Relationship Between the Social Interpretation of History and San Min Chu I
by William J. Gies, New York, 16 January 1932.

      "The Social Interpretation of History was written in 1918-1919. It represented Dr. William's investigation of some problems in International Socialism that had been made acute by events of the World War. This investigation was begun, Dr. William admits, with no anticipation that the validity of Karl Marx's conclusions would be affected. The study led im, however, not only to a conviction of the fallacy of Marxian principles, but to the formulation of a philosophy that is a logical substitute for them.
      Before the book was printed for general circulation, copies of a private edition were sent to leading socialists and economists, and their criticisms invited. Dr. William had decided that, if the responses to this private edition included a refutation of his anti-Marxian conclusions, or the exposure of any fundamental fallacy in his position, he would not publish a general edition. Accordingly, some of tose to whom copies of the private edition were sent share the responsibility for the later influence of The Social Interpretation of History The authorities whose criticisms were most concrete and constructive, and whose responsibility is, therefore, the heavier, are Dr. David Starr Jordan, Chancellor Emeritus of Leland Stanford Jr. University ; Dr. John Graham Brooks, author of The Social Unrest : Mr. A. M. Simons, founder and first editor of The International Socialist Review ; Mr. Albert Sonichsen, formerly Secretary of The Coöperative League of America ; and Mr. Robert Rives La Monte, author of Socialism, Positive and Negative, and of Men versus the Man (with Hl. L. Mencken). In the circular statement accompanying copies of the private edition, Dr William expressed the hope that comments from Socialist apologists would reveal the weak links that might have appeared in his chain of reasoning. With the exception, however, of a protest from an English Socialist, H. W. Postgate, the representatives of the party were mute.

SUBSEQENT DEVELOPMENTS

      Later editions. The results of the preliminary inquiry justified publication of a general edition, which was issued in 1921. In the following year an edition was published in London by Allen and Unwin. In 1924 a German translation, by Wolfgang E. Groeger* with a preface by Dr. Oswald Spengler, was published in Berlin by Trowitzsch and Son. [etc. See Oswald Spengler]

Quote   'The word Trinity is not in the Lord's Prayer, or in the Ten Commandments, or in the Apostles' Creed ; it does not occur anywhere in the Bible ; therefore its acceptance is not obligatory upon the laity even in church affiliation. Outside the circumscribed limitation of church circles, and in entire freedom from bondage to creed, we are unhapmered in our privilege of questioning even those things which have been considered sacred and approached only with reverential awe. In times past, bloody wars have resulted from the bitter feeling engendered in hair-splitting discussions as to meaning attached to the Trinity. We have no quarrel with those who hold to this or that interpretation ; and so long as our privilege to think and to express our thoughts is not used to condemn others or to embitter controversy, only constructive results can flow from its exercise.'

Note The fields of life has been also published under the title 'blueprint for immortality' which is altogether incorrect and I doubt that the other title came from H.S. Burr himself. The edition (ca. 1973) which I have seen also contained some appendices which in my opinion have little if anything to do with the subject and from all appearances were not included by H.S. Burr himself.
    This one slim volume may be especially important in that it has opened the door to utterly scientific approach to Man's spirituality. What is soul ? Descartes considered 'it' to be 'lodged' in a gland, as though a sort of particle at a point. H.S. Burr's 'fields of life' suggest the soul ("I") to be, on mechanistic analogies, not a particle but a kind of field, that is the source of certain electrical phenomena which can be actually registered by some mechanical devices ; and it is the body which is in this kind of field and not the converse.

Notes   ďż˝Louise Varese, nee McCutcheon, was born in Pittsburgh on November 22, 1890. At the age of sixteen she left that city in order to go to school at Smith College in Massachusetts. By the time she went back to live with her parents again they had moved to New York. She then married Allen Norton, a poet and journalist. One son, Michael, was born of this first marriage.ďż˝E

�Sometime late in 1917, Varese and Louise Norton met one another in a bar. No word exchanged between them. At their second meeting, they were extremely rude to one another about nothing whatever. At their third meeting they fell abruptly and deeply in love.�E Etc.

�As soon as their respective divorces became official, Edgard Varese and Louise Norton were married, and during the long and difficult years that followed, Louise was to be not only a wife to Varese but a collaborator and a support as well. She believed in Varese, in his ideas, in his art, always. She said to me one day: �Varese didn�t have to be famous as far as I was concerned. His presence and the certainty I felt about his genius were all I needed.�ELater, of course, Louise Varese became one of the best translators from the French in the United States.�EEtc

A Protest
( by me W. Paul Tabaka, April 2007, rev. )

        What would one think about the prospects of a society where the public enemies and criminals are often glorified — while the defenders of the individual liberties and of public order are vilified ?
      This seems to be the case with the story of J. Edgar Hoover, (etc., etc.) in America. So far as I for one have observed, in the mass media, etc., this man seems to be the chief target on whom any and every calamity now or then or at any time at all would be blamed.
      The plain facts are ; and please examine the facts of the history, the reader, and not any half-learned pundits' or literary hacks' verbal stuff — this man had exposed some of the chief criminals who during some of the crucial years had influenced the public politics and the public life in the USA etc., etc.
      Had any saint ever been entirely perfect in the actions of fending off a mad dog ? Probably not. Nor could one expect the defenders if the individual liberties and the public order in the U.S. or any place to be entirely perfect when dealing with people who specialised in making others fail (which was practically the only thing the Red agents in the U.S. etc. could really do).

Why are the Following Chief Criminals Not (if anyone must) Vilified ?

* Alexander Goldberger ("J. Peters" ; sent from abroad, most active in the USA 1935-47),
* Harry Dexter White (1892-1948 ; possibly rather deluded than actually criminal),
* Lauchlin Currie (1902-1993),
* Alger Hiss (1904-1996),
* Klaus Fuchs (1911�1988),
etc.

The "answers" might be "complex". The truths were rather simple.

Where are the university professors, the scholars, any sane people : to notice what has been going ; and what often keeps going on in 2007 ?

Quote   "Among the psychologists (and psychologist-philosophers) the old defenders of the dual nature of man—William James, Wiliam McDougall, Henri Bergson, and Hans Driesch—are now gone from the scene, and there are no comparable successors.* The soul theory of personality has passed into psychological history.
      "Yet oddly enough, no one even claims to have proved that the mind is physical." etc.
(J.B. Rhine, The Reach of the Mind, New York, William Sloane, 1947, p. 7).

      * (Comment) : There have been comparable sucessors, though not yet in 1947 when the above had been written.
      The 'dual' nature of man an expression seems somewhat problematic ; it might lead to elementalism (faulty verbal splitting) on one hand ; it may also lead to confusion with many an old row.

      'An uninterrupted scale of perception' seems a happier formulation (this I have seen attibuted the Leibnitz).
      Howbeit, "no one even claims to have proved that the mind is physical" has been true then and it is as true as ever.

      Assumptions (verbal) of the sort can be seen in at least every other text-book on 'psychology' to-day (so-called). It is exactly nowhere that such assumptions had lead their proponents ; which they usually admit, not in the first, but in the second paragraph of their treatises.

      The text was published by J.B. Rhine in 1947. Please note the exact date ; please also examine the exact history of the marxist-leninist "no conspiracy" in the USA round that time and thereafter.
      That may be not the sole explanation of the sorry state of the present day understanding ; or rather misunderstanding abroad, of the subjects. But it seems certain to have been one of the factors. — (WPT).

Note   "The investigations by Rhine and his associates at Duke University have shown the reality1 of the phenomena of telepathy (transfer of thoughts and mental pictures) and clairvoyance (seeing at a distance without use of the eyes). Most people appear to have a rudimentary sense in this direction, others have it somewhat more developed, ... It makes not difference whether the distance to the "observed" object is 10 feet or 250 miles. Obstructions have no effect, neither has the position of the objects in relation to the "observer."

Comment   In the very year 1940 the USA were the scene of massive sabotage, industrial and other, by the Kremlin-sent or Kremlin-controlled international 'socialists' — working hand in hand with the Hitlerite national 'socialists'. (Please check this detail out very carefully, the reader). The concerted Commie/Nazi sabotage of the US went on until the Hitler/Stalin deal of October 1939 went sour by the end of July 1941. The Hitlerite national version of 'socialism' was out of business by 1945 ; the other brand was not. Its numerous agents within the USA had succeeded enormously at fooling, duping, hoaxing, deceiving almost everyone in the positions of top importance most notably including the President Roosevelt and (even more so) his influential wife Eleanor. Ever since, there have been numerous attempts made either at whitewashing the gross blunders then made or at plain cover-up of the facts. Every largely true text on the subject would be answered by five (or ten) others containing largely true data with some embarrasing details omitted ('whitewash'), containing blatantly false data all through, containing some true and some false data ; containing almost all the true data with a 'twist' placed somewhere within it, containing non-sensical data designed to discourage the reader from the study, etc., etc. Some "world revolution" maniacs are still with us ; seeing some anti-American attitudes (as in some South American countries recently, Dec. 2006) — one doubts all of them are genuinely felt grievances over some actual harm done abroad — those bands of propagandists are simply not cogent enough (lacking sense). This is not a matter of some elementalistic 'left' vs. 'right' divisions ; this should not be a matter of some easily misconceived Party-line adherence— not insofar as operating with the true data of history is concerned. I for one, by the way, suspect that the more 'conservative' Party in the USA (as the Republican Party is often perceived) could have been in the 1940-60's no less infiltrated than the other party ; except that the areas of destruction would have been different (e.g. the theological seminaries). Was it not E. Burke who observed, by the good people to do nothing is the surest route for the evil to prevail (something like, anyhow). This game (against the Red or similar barbarism) is not quite yet over. Do not overlook these matters, the reader. (WPT)

Quote   I have eaten my evening meals for two years in a Chinese home. Much of that time I was the only man who spoke English in that part of the whole country, about twelve days' journey from any other American. That home has twelve children. Now I suppose it is conceivable you might keep twelve children on good behavior for a night or two before company. But you can't keep twelve children on some sort of special pose every night for two years! I know that family better than I know any other family on earth, better than I know any family here in America, and I would like to tell you about them.
(W.H. Judd, Philosophy of Life That Works, Address, Buffalo, New York, 30 Dec 31 - 3 Jan 32 ; In Walter H. Judd, Denver, Colorado : Grier, 1980, p. 390).

Beyond Faction
( by me WPT, May 07 )

      The "blunders in Asia" become transparent as soon as one looks into the record of the historic facts (and not some university professor's interpretations or some propagandists' "spin" so-called).
      The 'two-party system' in the USA does not help on such issues and rather the contrary. It might be that the blunders of yesteryear would occasion whitewashing the plain (but embarrasing) follies of the politician (or, mind this especially, the actual crimes which had been committed within the USA or abroad by agents of some unwholesome interests, often in "high places", — unnotced, right before the eyes of the persons responsible for the public order).
      On the other hand, the attacks on account of some yesteryear blunders by one Party on another Party are also conceivable. Any such disorder would only make the issues of to-day (2007) more difficult, if not endanger the well-being of the people in the USA, or in China for that matter; therefore of many other people.
      Personally I have no reason to forward the Party line of any party. Some authors have been more reliable than many others ; some faction-style wrangling present here or there within their work notwithstanding.
      Beside the Republican Senator here considered, there has been the Democrat W.C. Bullitt (friend of FDR, who however was not fooled by the Red propagandists the way his friend FDR was). These has been the Socialist Maurice William, who however had seen through the Bolshevik version of 'socialism' as soon as the scourge had begun — unlike many other 'socialists'. There had been Mr. Hyndman in England, albeit also a 'socialist', who wrote on Chinese affairs very reliably ; that before the muddle had been spread round the world by the Kremlin's hacks (and quacks).
      Is an approach, not "bi-partisan" but non-partisan possible in the USA to the issues ? One certainly can hope so ; this would often and often markedly differ with the individual. The individual reader (of this) can conceive that the future developments might eventally depend on his or her judgment ; may it be not overly affected by somebody's party-line. — (WPT).

HORATIO :

If thou art privy

to thy country's fate,

which happily,

foreknowing may avoid,

O speak—

HAMLET, Act One, Scene I.

(With this quotation begins Witness by Whittaker Chambers, New York : Random House, 1952).

On the Dangerous Cult of "Everybody Lies".

      "O speak", has been advised by W. Shakespeare. That proposition was applied by Whittaker Chambers, evidently. He had said what he had to say and it may be worthy continuing consideration, until, that is, the problems indicated by the man have been solved with some appreciable certainty.
      These problems are anything but solved presently (2007). The man's pessimism may have been largely justified. But what is to be won by pessimism ? "I was right" on the lips of the man perishing of some malady which he had been foretelling is usually small comfort either to him or to anyone else.
      The facts of the case seem to be more or less so : this country (the US) had been infiltrated and infested by the evillest forces ever known in the human history ; not the overt enemy, who might or might not conquer you, but who at least leaves no doubts as to his intentions ; but by surreptitious, sneaky, perfidious, enemy in the shape of people who would proclaim anything in order to achieve some ends which they would try to delude themselves and others into believing were worthy their (and everybody's) effort. What those ends were has been usually forgotten in the process of deceiving everybody who would be deceived for the sake of the same 'ends'.
      Have you, the reader, ever been told that "everybody lies, anyway" ? I for one have ; and it seems probable that the persons who told me such a revelation would also have told it to some others.
      Such a statement without any qualification does in fact contain, 'everybody lies all the time' — and this is manifestly impossible. (Not that some persons would not believe so, and act so ; but the number of just such persons has, by an author known to me as competent, been estimated at round 2-3 per cent of any population).
      It can be with far more certainty claimed that at least some people do not lie at least some of the time. That is how this society, or any society, keeps going at all — although usually "by fits and starts". At this point the question becomes one of one's defining one's premises.
      If you should agree, the reader, that 'everybody lies, anyway', then, what follows from such a proposition ? There sure have been some public spectacles in the USA within the last decade or so, caused by some notable persons who, it seems, operate with just such a Premise.
      Where can this all lead ? You either perish (of somebody's lies, possibly of your own) — or you keep going, somehow. In order to achieve the latter information which has not been distorted by any 'specialists' is vitally needed. This can be strived for, in spite of anything, in spite of some "everybody lies, anyway" being spread by some enemies of humanity or their fooled victims.
      (This might seem funny, until some bombs fall somewhere, that is ; thus it might be contagious. I think it may be far from untrue, to speak about a Cult of 'everybody lies' — which is made up of the persons who say so, including some more naive ones who do believe so and who might think the matter somewhat "funny").
      One of the dangers seen by W. Chambers was of the "roles" of the "Right" (so-called) and/or the "left" (so-called).
      May the person of the Right (conservative) be informed : the "left" (so-called) has by now become more clever than to proclaim anything 'leftist'. Anything will be proclaimed — in order to deceive those who are not "in" some scheme or other.

On the Obedience of One Certain Corpse

and

On Keeping Scientology* Working

( by me W. Paul Tabaka, Jan 2007 )

* A trademark presently controlled by some people who violate as many principles formulated by Ron Hubbard as they can — (from all appearances). This observed by me WPT, Jan 07.

      Good or bad, right or wrong, true or false : one certainly does not want the false.

      So far as I (for one) have been able to find out, the mankind has produced the singer of hope and certainty in the person of Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, born in Tilden-Nebraska in 1911.

      The date of his departure (1986) I have seen disputed. I think that it may be the true date ; but at this stage I have no faintest idea which are the true facts and which are not. The reason being :

      The official following [?] of this author presently publish :

Somebody's lying 'theology' — which can be seen on-line produced by the official organization purportedly preserving this work and presumably responsible for the integrity of the same ; I have not ever seen any mention made by Ron Hubbard of any 'theology' within any of his writings I have seen (which covers nearly or practically all of his broadly published texts) — my repeated queries sent to the official organizations calling themselves 'Scientology' had yielded not one single statement by Ron Hubbard regarding any 'theology'. Confer the 'introducation of arbitraries', Ron Hubbard. His basic texts contain practically all one needs to gain a basic understading of the subject ; anything more advanced cannot contradict the basic data or the thing falls apart.
      Should this thing be allowed to fall apart, Professor, it will drag other things with it, possibly down to such catastrophies as one might prefer not to speculate about. Whether or not it be valid, Professor, is a something the judgment on which can be suspended ; it has been proved to promise infinite survival potential : what is that is going to survive is partially in your hands, Professor (if not entirely in your hands at this time) ; and any kind of reader.

Somebody's lying "ultimate reality". What is this 'ultimate reality' ? the reader ? Answer : a mystery.
      By Ron Hubbard's definitions 'reality' form part of the Affinity, Reality, and Communication Triangle (the picky skeptic might prefer 'triangle' with quotation marks but this is entirely secondary). The three terms for the three notions, and there is not really much new with any one of the three, altogether comprise "Understanding". The Triangle was entirely new and was due to Ron Hubbard.
      All these definitions do splendidly resolve many or most of the old-time speculations on the Human Understanding. Please mind, 'reality' is part of the Triangle, and not some super-mystery of any "Ultimate Reality".

Other Distorted definitions ; notable example, the 2nd dynamic given entirely misleadingly as 'creativity' (the true definitions by Ron Hubbard of the 2nd Dynamic are sex and the family unit)*. This might suggest infiltration of the organizations by some sexual perverts ; but this is just a wild guess ;

    * Note on "verbal data". Please, the reader, do not take my word for any of these articles as regards Scientology without verifying everthing, and preferably thrice, in those publications which are likely authentic publications by Ron Hubbard.

The official publications contain, on occasion, the wildest falsehoods imaginable, for example, "x is wrong" attributed to Ron Hubbard, the x being a major religion ;

The strong affinities of this work with the Buddhist traditions are being withheld from the public ;

An article by Ron Hubbard on Psychiatrist Has Masters has been withheld from the public. This had been available on-line by my inspection and I believe this had been seen on-line by some other persons. If you, the reader, Really Want To Be Ripped Off you disregard this one item ('Psychiatrist Has Masters' by Ron Hubbard). That article contains mentions of the Soviet mole in the USA Alger Hiss and of his (Hiss's) connections with the corrupt (criminal) psychiatrist George Brock Chisholm.

(By the way : G.B. Chisholm and another psychiatrist, Sullivan, had circa 1946 or so been able to dupe Count Korzybski himself — who was not a novice at critical reading — for a period of about a year. Please consider, the reader, one simple truth I have discovered : there had been not one person in the USA who would not in some way or other had fallen a victim to disinformation by some 'masters of deceit' (J.E. Hoover), usually with links to the Kremlin in the former Soviet Union. Not one single person. The one or two possible exceptions I could think of had not considered the matters contained in this section.)

If You Do Not Want to be Ripped Off, the reader :

      Whether university professor or a 7-year old already literate :

The Probable Crux of the Psychiatric Problems 1946 and on may be this one story, of George Brock Chisholm — and his connections with the Red "no conspiracy".

      In stark contrast to some earlier endorsements of G.B. Chisholm's famous/infamous Lecture, the Introduction (by Korzybski himself) to the 3rd Edition (1948) of Science and Sanity contains no barest mention of that psychiatrist.

This seems rather clearly to imply that that endorsement was not there anymore. The probable scenario has been : G.B. Chisholm's quasi-nietzchean propositions (on the Humanity's maturing up and the like) had been mistaken by Korzybski for something on the order of his own applications of the non-aristotelian logics to the problems of life including a theory of sanity (which he had had, albeit rudimentary).

The facts were, rather, G.B. Chisholm's paper and other works were part of the Bolshevik-infested push for power in the USA etc. (This was part-successful but not altogether successful ; one of G.B. Chisholm's co-conspirators, one Alger Hiss, had landed in jail in the 1950's ; a project by G.B. Chisholm of a sort of gulag in Alaska did not make it through the US Congress ; else — you or I could be sent to some place in Alaska — as "insane" — in the case of disagreement with anything that the cabal would-be in power might think fit to perpetrate).

I do not know the exact course of events ; this might be found in some papers, perhaps ; but the lack of any mention by Korzybski in 1948 of the psychiatrist G.B. Chisholm indicates that the Count had wised up, somehow, to what was actually going on ; in other words, there was something wrong with G.B. Chisholm and his propositions — in spite of any earlier endorsements.

Please consider this one very carefully, Professor, etc. — especially that some sorts of pseudo-"followers" can be seen presently to quote any statements by Korzybski in favor of any sort of psychiatry — to somebody's ulterior purposes). The story seems largely to resolve as per the following :

The Heroes (whether occasionally fallible or not) :

Alfred Korzybski,
Whittaker Chambers,
L. Ron Hubbard,
etc.

The Villains :

G. Brock Chisholm,
Alger Hiss,
Carl Binger (a lying psychiatrist, had attempted to defraud the US Courts during the US vs. Hiss litigation),
a number of other psychiatrists associated with Mr. Hiss.

The above is relatively simple ; I propose it is not an over-simplification, many more details can be found to be relevant in many sources.

      Etc., etc. Who is just being dumb and who exactly had undertaken detouring or derailing the work by Ron Hubbard can be only vaguely guessed. Whoever had been or is being doing it, the losses to the humanity are already enormous and, should the detouring not cease, the losses can only increase.

      Please note that this is accompanied by organised work of destruction, outside the Scientology or "Scientology" organisations, aiming against any authors of any data of survival value to the individual (hence to the mankind) ; notably including those mentioned by Hubbard in the original edition of Science of Survival (e.g. Plato, Euclid, Descartes, J.C. Maxwell, Spencer, Korzybski, etc.).

      The song of 'hope and certainty' (G. Sand) has been given a-roar ; now, one witnesses the ultimate betrayal — of its having been tampered with. 'How many valiant and tragic works' will it take, again and again, to obtain some hope and some certainty ?

      Who is responsible for what is really going on on the planet ? Those who have the means (methods, formulas) of or for solving problems. These means have been and are being impeached as of this writing.

      You, the authors of the lying 'theology', of the corrupted definitions of the dynamics, etc., etc., : it is you who are responsible for any and all trouble has happened world-wide after the departure of Ron Hubbard.

      Presumably not all of those troubles could have been prevented. Some of them could have been prevented, and nearly certainly so. There is not telling what exactly could and what exactly could not have been prevented ; therefore, you, distorters, are responsible for it all.

      The last report in the newspaper I had seen gave some 60 more US soldiers killed in Iraq. (I do not read newspapers as a rule but these news can hardly escape one's attention). I would not bother to find out the total of the recent losses ; none of these should have occurred were there more sanity in the public life, the USA and the planet.

      And the work which (by my observation but check this out the reader for yourself) does containt the fundamentals of sanity, public and/or private, is being tampered with, day in day out.

      The greatest crime against Mankind presently going on, the reader. —

Mark Well I have no way whatever of knowing whether some kinds of duress might be present. In other words, some people might engage in disseminating the altered work by Ron Hubbard, knowing that this constitutes High Crimes, and yet be forced to do so by some external agencies. Please, the real person somewhere, buy no gossip or complaints from any sources regarding this work ; whatever it be ; please get the true data as soon as you can.

The Scientist : Anywhere In The World

Please do obtain such copies of the materials by Ron Hubbard as are likely to be authentic ;

May I quote . . . Socrates

" .. if he did begin in error, he may have forced the remainder into agrement with the original error and with himself ; there would be nothing strange in this, any more than in geometrical diagrams, which have often a slight and invisible flaw in the first part of the process, and are consistently mistaken in the long deductions which follow. And this is the reason why every man should expend his chief thought and attention on the consideration of first principles:—are they or are they not rightly laid down? and when he has duly sifted them, all the rest will follow. "
(Socrates, per Cratylus by Plato).

* John Whiteside Parsons (1914-1952),   also known as Jack Parsons ; rocket scientist.

Note   "Protected against deadly explosions by a wall of sandbags and heavy timbers, two young California Institute of Technology scientists feed explosive gases under pressure into the motor of a rocket. At the touch of a button, a leaping spark ignites the mixture, and with a roar, a sheet of flame, and a cloud of smoke, the gases go into action. Operating a camera, one of the researchers photographs a battery of instrument dials that reveal such vital facts as the thrust of the motor and the weight and pressure of the gases surging through pipes from metered chambers.
      But the rocket itself, instead of soaring into the heavens, remains rooted on the ground, since it is anchored in place and pointed earthward. For Edward S. Forman and John W. Parsons, the California rocket researchers, are mainly interested for the present in studying the action of various fuels for stratosphere - stabbing rocket ships, and the effect of their intense heat on various types of nozzles.
      This question of rocket-motor nozzles is one of the major problems now facing rocket experimenters, who are constantly devising new improvements and new methods to take the rocket out of the realm of fantasy and into the field of practical use." etc.
(Robert E. Martin, 'New Experiments with Rockets', Popular Science, September, 1940, as given by source 99 see below).

Note   "In August 1941, the first solid propellant JATO,* whose propellant was developed by J. W.  Parsons, was successfully tested on a small liaison type airplane."
(A.G. Haley, p. 91).

    * jet-assisted take-off'. [WPT]

" The rocket pioneers are, of course, the Aerojet Corporation and the Reaction Motors Corporation. The former produces both liquid and solid propellant motors, while the latter has emphasized liquid developments.
(Haley, p. 157) (A.G. Haley, Rocketry and Space Exploration, D. van Nostrand, 1958).

Note   "The Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory of the California Institute of Technology (hence the name Galcit), had started a program of rocket research and development in 1936. Operating under a fund established by Weld Arnold, the group made thorough studies of reaction-engine technology in general and rockets in particular, both liquid- and solid-propellant based. The experimental group consisted of Arnold himself, Frank J. Malina, Hsue-Schen Tsien, Edward S. Forman, John W. Parsons, and A. M. O. Smith. Theodore von Karman, Galcit's director, became more and more active as the project matured. With the help of data gathered by ARS [American Rocket Society?] experimenters, Galcit progressed rapidly to the rocket-motor test phase. A variable-pressure combustion chamber (100 to 1,000 pounds per square inch) was developed, operating on methyl alcohol and gaseous oxygen. By 1938 the Army Air Corps took notice of Galcit ; in a modest way, what had happened in Germany was about to take place in the United States. That December General Henry H. Arnold, commanding the Air Corps, asked the National Academy of Sciences' Committee for Air Corps Research to sponsor a development of the Jet Propulsion Research Project at the California Institute of Technology. Von Karman was the director, and three members of the Galcit group, Malina, Forman, and Parsons, were his assistants. A year later the Army Air Corps took over the project.
      The rocket-boosted takeoff project, which became known as JATO, built on experience accumulated since 1936. Both liquid- and solid-propellant motors were studied. the final production units, firing for 10 to 30 seconds, could lift an airplane high enough to continue its flight unassisted. Since only rapid-burning solid propellants were known then, much time wa spent on developing slow, or restricted, burning propellants that would provide a constant thrust. By 1941, Galcit 27, which delivered 28 pounds of thrust for 12 seconds, was developed. Tests of motors burning this solid propellant began a few months before the United States entered World War II.
      Scientists and engineers working on liquid-propellant JATO units discarded liquid oxygen, the conventional oxidizer, because JATO units had to be mobile. Liquid oxygen was ruled out because it cannot be stored for long periods and is not easy to transport for long distances. As an alternative, the experimenters began investigating the possibility of using red fuming nitric acid usually referred to as RFNA. Although corrosive and poisonous, RFNA can be stored under certain conditions. Whether it would decompose efficiently with a fuel was not known, but tests during the fall of 1939 showed that it mixed with, and supported the combustion of, gasoline ad benzene. A test stand ws constructed and an experimental motor was built. In May 1940 the first tests were held, and in July the program was given additional support by the Army Air Corps. The immediate objective was development of a 1,000-pound-thrust motor" etc.
(W. v Braun, F.I. Ordawy III, History of Rocketry & Space Travel, London, etc. etc. : Nelson, 1967, p. 85).

Note   "The rocket team had worked on America's first jet-assisted takeoff (JATO) engines. In the beginning they were primitive little rockets, only a foot long, with two-pound units of black-powder propellent packed into small cylindrical shells. Initial tests were unsuccessful because the JATOs had a tendency to explode upon ignition. Later, Jack Parsons figured out that the JATO's had to be fired immediately after creation, before cracks could form in the powder. One day in August 1941, twenty-four JATOs were rushed to March Field near Riverside, California, and fastened to a small Ercoupe, a low-wing, lightweight monoplane piloted by Lieutenant Homer Boushey ...
      "Then the Navy gave Caltech a contract to develop an even better JATO engine. This time, the rocketeers were expected to make one that delivered 200 pounds of thrust for a duration of eight seconds. A better fuel was needed, and Parsons invented one in 1942 by heating paving asphalt and oil to 350 F, mixing them with potassium perchlorate, pouring it into casings, and cooling the combination. It looked like hardened paving tar. It was superior to the black-powder propellent in both thrust and burning time, delivering 2,000 ponds of pressure per square inch and an exhaust velocity of 5,900 feet per second (with the right nozzle). It survived storage in both hot and freezing temperatures."

On The Thelemic Thetans' Theophanies
( by me WPT, May 07 )

Note   "As early as 1945 some of [A.] Crowley's American disciples, gathered together in the Agape Lodge of California, had attempted a revival of sexo-magical ritual work. The most prominent figure in this group was Jack Parsons, a brilliant physical chemist ... Parsons had recently lost his mistress, who had transferred her affections to a new member of the Agape Lodge. He had earlier lost his wife to yet another magician so, feeling disillusioned with human beings, decided that his next sexual partner would be an ELEMENTAL, who would naturally be incarnated in an ordinary woman's body.
      The Crowleyan technique of controlling elementals involves calling them 'by the Keys of Enoch . . .  ' ... Parsons managed to transform these fairly simple [Enochian] operations into an elaborate ceremony, repeated on eleven consecutive nights ... After an appropriate period of gestation,, the elemental duly appeared in the shape of a green-eyed, red-haired New York poetess, who soon became Parsons' mistress and magical partner. Together they celebrated Crowley's 'Gnostic Mass' ; ... etc. Not until 1952, when Parsons blew himself up with mercuric fulminate, was ther partnership dissolved."
(Encyclopedia of the Unexplained, editor R. Cavendish .. consultant .. J.B. Rhine. New York etc. : McGraw-Hill, 1974, pp. 214-5).

Comment I have spotted a few details slightly off in the above account, which still looks exceptionally accurate (by comparison with many other sources). WPT

Note   "In August 1945 Parsons met L. Ron Hubbard, the future founder of Scientology, who at that time was known as little more than a writer of pulp stories and something of an eccentric. At the time he met Parsons he was a naval officer on leave, and Parsons invited him to stay at his house for the remainder of his leave. They had quite a lot in common. Parsons was very interested in science-fiction, as was Hubbard. Hubbard, for his part, was interested in psychism and magic. As anyone will know who has read the critical biography . . " etc.
(From the papers of Phylis Seckler ; found in the Internet).

Comment   The 'cricial biography' in question was a book of disinformation. It would be pointless presently to blame the author of the above for having relied on it ; this bit I found informative in a way — how easily people could be deceived, who from all appearances were neither illiterate nor feeble-minded, Professor. — (WPT).

      Note (The following are some "bits and pieces" ; I have just recently begun to study this story.) The two generally known (so far) sources on Jack Parsons are not in the least reliable in some parts.
      Aleister Crowley's doubts about what was going on in the Agape Lodge in California circa 1946 seem probable. The parts on the relations between Jack Parsons and Ron Hubbard as given by those sources cannot be relied upon.
      "If" the reports he Crowley got were accurate (note his 'if'), then Frater Parsons had then fallen into some kind of error.
      How accurate those reports were is a somewhat different question. Parts of Crowley's information came from a third party. The documentation is presumably not in great quantity, it would be good it be preserved and considered (that is exactly what some people do not like and I for one cannot help it, Professor, other than by keeping speaking about the matters).

      I have seldom heard about perfect inter-personal relations anywhere in the world. However, had Parsons been materially wronged by somebody he had no reason to keep silent about it. Later-time, Ron Hubbard spoke about Jack Parsons, at least on one occasion, only in the highest terms. He had no need to mention the man.
      If there had been some trials to their relations they may have been less than has been often represented.

On the other hand, any accounts in the sources on J. Parsons I have seen given of Ron Hubbard's later works are nearly totally off the track.
      Survive ! is the first axiom of Ron Hubbard's dianetics (or Dianetics). Then, the rest follows. Is that so difficult to notice ? (and not some chance phrase picked out from some chance page).
      This may be not somebody's "complexities" indeed (one of the sources I have seen implies somebody's "complexities" is the way (of 'science'?).
      Somewhat rhetorically : would you, the reader, rather survive or would you have somebody's "complexities" instead ?

On Rockets and Rackets
( by me WPT, May 07 )

Note "In 1936 F. J. Malina together with J. W. Parsons and E. Forman founded a rocket research group at CalTech. By 1938 the group included A. M. O. Smith, H S. Tsien and Weld Arnold." etc.
(Haley, p. 58).

Groves, Leslie R., 1896-1970. Now it can be told; the story of the Manhattan project. [1st ed.]. New York, Harper [1962] xiv, 464 p. illus., ports. 22 cm.

That text can complement the story of the early rocket research, Professor. Or anyone who can read, for the matter. Please note, Professor, that who exactly was hoaxing exactly whom in those circumstances may be often not at all apparrent from the statements reproduced ; Gen. Groves himself may have been mistaken on some of his own conclusions. — WPT.

On Facing the "Almighty" Confusion
( by me WPT, May 07 )

      Some boys just wanted to have fun, Professor. That is basically all, Professor, to the story of Aleister Crowley, his disciple John W. Parsons, and some other persons connected. (There had been also much talent present, the one notion in no way excluding the other).

      There have been 'killjoys' and Partypoopers, Professor, and galore.

      There have been veritable enemies of Humanity involved ; directly or indirectly.

      The story of Jack Parsons apparently has any and all such threads connected with it, Professor. It may be very well worthy of thorough scrutiny.

      There have been present :

the scientific research (the rockets etc),
the religious investigations (the Agape Lodge),

      There have also been present

the international soviet-socialist : the marxist-leninist "no conspiracy" (anyone would tell you it had not existed is either a member or a total fool),
the German national-socialist after 1945.

[Malina's] "moral sense was offended as he watched the German V-2 scientists .. welcomed by his home country."
(source 05, p. 301)

"Karman worked in Germany during the decade following World War I. After World War II, he was instrumental in recruiting Nazi scientists to the United States."
(source 99, p. 193).

Neither text makes any mention about the Communist/Nazi co-operation 1939-41 in the USA ; or of either Malina's or Karman's activities on that area at the time. Malina was Karman's student ; his own writings look largely reliable but not entirely so. How were Malina's "anti-Nazi" views received by his fellow-Communists in 1940, Professor ? (Lest we get more propaganda or more mere baloney instead of science). Karman's story looks rather impossible to interpret without some detailed research.
      Anyhow, this does look curious.

Consider also the following,

"In late April [1937] Malina gave a talk on the rocketeers' findings .. two weeks later .. he was approached by Weld Arnold, an assistant from Caltech's astrophysical laboratory. Arnold had been fascinated by the talk, he said. Then he coolly offered Maline the unbelievable sum of $1,000 to aid the rocketeers .. There was one condition: He could join the project as an official photographer.
      .. None of the rocketeers seem to have known Weld Arnold in the slightest. He was, after all, twenty years older than them. What's more, Arnold was hardly a typical benefactor. He rode his bicycle .. every day, and his job as a laboratory assistant was hardly well paying. ... Arnold did not even hint at the money's source. etc.
(source 05, p. 107-8). (the source 99 gives this guy was a student, this looks somebody's mere mistakes somewhere ;
      Both sources agree that the money was unexpectedly got, from unknown source, accepted readily, and there had been some photographing done by Weld Arnold, later replaced by another person.)

The Real Researcher

Will somebody find out what was the source of the money this laboratory assistant got to finance the rocket research ?

Then, the man having spent 1,000 on this, one would expect he would continue with his part of the arrangement — which was taking pictures. What was the ultimate fate of those pictures, Professor ?

Do Not Let Down the Entire Humanity This Time, Professor (and the Academia)

The source 05 gives that Weld Arnold was twenty years older than others and was an assistant at a laboratory. Other sources I have seen give he was a student.

The sources agree on that Weld Arnold's contribution of $1,000.00 was unsolicited, unexpected, and went unquestioned. The sources agree on that he had been taking pictures as the research went on.

The sources do not give much other info about Weld Arnold ; some of the info given (source 05) looks rather desultory than relevant.

I now find a Gertrude Weld Arnold (fl. ca. 1909-1912 as given in the library catalogues), Professor. The name looks (by now) familiar ; and this is to have been an author of children books. One can easily wax sentimental about children, Professor : especially if Gertrude Weld Arnold had in fact existed ; but what happened of Weld Arnold and his pictures taken of the rocket-research in Pasadena, etc., 1930-40s ?

The least one should expect from the Academia, Professor, may be that Weld Arnold (who started the rocket research funding in the USA with his $1,000.00 of unknown, so far, provenience) be not taken for a Gertrude Weld Arnold. Such things are not good for children ! Professor, to be confused by Weld Arnolds -- anything of the sort should be prevented ! May the Academia not let everybody down this time — ; if at all possible. (WPT, May 07)).

The Brief But Curious Story of Allied Enterprises

Gives source 05 :
      [In Miami] "Hubbard and Betty [Sarah Northrup] had been busy. They had bought three sailing yachts, the Harpoon, the Blue Water II, and the Diane, and were only waiting for Hubbard's latest navy disability check to arrive before they set sail." (p. 269)

Parsons, following these reports, had in the meanwhile grown uneasy about his part of the investment in the Allied Enterprise and came by air to Miami to find his partners, etc. Apparently there had been no communications between Hubbard and Parsons then and this may be one the the questions hanging on the story.

Parsons had "traced the sale of the Harpoon to a harbor on Country Causeway", but could not find his partners ; etc. All this somewhat implies that they had been hiding from Jack Parsons but none of this proves anything of the sort. On the face of these reports, if they are correct so far as the data compute, there would have been no communication.

Part of the idea of the Allied Enterprises was to buy some yachts on the East Coast and then sail them to the West coast and sell them for profit. Feasible or not, the three yachts had been bought (according to these sources).

For some reason Parsons was alarmed, and he came to Miami and was there alarming some other parties (to what extent the reports are accurate I have no way of knowing). He had received a phone call, Hubbard and Betty were sailing out of the harbour, on Harpoon.

Jack Parsons had invoked Bartzabel ; a sudden squall off the coast forced Hubbard and his companion back to the port. Parsons was waiting for the pair at the harbour.

Then, report of a lawsuit which later resulted in the dissolution of Allied Enterprises.

The source 05 says that, "presumably", mind you, nothing had been straigthly asserted, but, 'presumably' Hubbard and his woman had some kind of designs on Jack Parsons and his share in the enterprise ; but from this same report, insofar as the deatil is accurate, on infers (wihtouth guessing) that at that time three (3) yachts had been bought (by Ron Hubbard and his girl). What was left of the money at their disposal after these expenses had been made one does not know. Was it enough to abandon two boats ? in order to "escape" Jack Parsons ?

Such a theory looks somewhat absurd ; and that is the plain reading of (a) the reported facts of the expenses made (3 boats) by Hubbard and the woman and (b) the conclusions by those authors, what Ron Hubbard and his woman had, 'presumably', done then (to the poor Jack Parsons, who, it seems, might have been genuinely uneasy at the time).

The reporting of all this does not look well at all. By what I find probable : the evidence as given by these same sources, in spite of some biased (implied) conclusions, is, Hubbard and his companion had worked on their part of the plan and there is nothing overtly implying any intentions by them not to deliver on what had been initially undertaken. The communications were poor betw. Hubbard and Parsons (or so it can be inferred). The latter did not know what to make of the situation and had grown suspicious. (And these parts of the reports are unclear ; could J. Parsons be influenced by some other parties? Possible.). It seems probable that by the time J. Parsons had arrived in Miami etc. the idea of Allied Enterprises had soured with him, the reports give that the entity had been dissolved in court, with Hubbard giving Parsons a promissory note of $2,900. There were still, as unmistakably implied by these reports, three yachts in Miami ; no word of what had happened with these three yachts (in the source 05 ; the source 99 is more forthcoming on this count).

Instead, some remarks on the role of Betty (Sarah) Northrup in the court proceedings, which are no credit to their author (source 05)in view of other "holes" in the report.

* * *

The source 99 gives (p. 155 ff.) :

20 Feb 46, Parsons, Hubbard, and Betty (Sarah) Northrup form "Allied Enterprises". Parsons contributes $20,970.80 ; Hubbard $1,183.91 ; Betty (Sarah) Northrup does not contribute financially. The purpose, "to buy boats on the East Coast and sail them back to California for resale (or tow them by trailer, if cheaper)". There were also interests expressed in investments of a "valid and eclectic nature", (from which the source 99 inferred some things on hardly any ground whatever ; a minor fault perhaps at this very place, but any things when put in print tend to stick, the reader, and by other author's selective reporting some altogether dissimilar stories to the facts can emerge. This as a general remark)

"Some of the money .. was used to buy the house at 1003 S. Orange Grove Ave", says source 99, this is unclear because the source 05 gives that the money was got from the sale of the same property (? this to be verified).

"In April 1946 .. Ron [Hubbard] left with Betty [Northrup] and $10,000 of the company money", etc.

From this one infers (without guessing) that J. Parsons was left with approximately $12,000. This contradicts an idea of his being left broke (which had later appeared at some point).

"Later that month Parsons" becomes uneasy. Either source, 99 and 05, give some reproduced communications of the period (one hopes accurately but this is never to be taken for granted) — interspersed with their own interpretations.

Source 99 quotes a communication from Louis Culling to Karl Germer, 12 May 46 ; then a wire from Crowley to Germer, 22 May 46 ; but what did Aleister Crowley know as of the 22 May 46 and from what sources is somewhat unclear (possibly decisive to disentangling of this one tale).

It looks like much of the information A.C. had was got from K. Germer who got much of his info from L. Culling. There had also been Crowley/Parsons correspondences in the period — but it is clear from A.C. comm of 31 May 46 to Germer that he had to a large extent relied on Germer himself and on the latter's sources. Wrote Crowley to Germer : "It seems to me on the information of our Brethren in California (if we may assume them to be accurate)", etc., something follows about the errors of Frater 210 (i.e. Jack Parsons).

"By June ... Parsons could wait no longer and went to Florida", discovering that Ron Hubbard and Betty (Sarah) Northrup had purchased three boats. "He found two of the boats, the Harpoon was anchored at Howard Bond's Yacht Harbor, Blue Water II was at the American Ship Building Company (all data from source 99). Parsons then rented a room and waited. Two days later, someone from Bond's called parsons to say that the Harpoon had just sailed. etc.

It is not improbable that by the time Jack Parsons took the entire affair somewhat illy. It seems not improbable that he had trouble locating Ron Hubbard and his companion ; exactly why I do not know. Quoted is his communication to A. Crowley of 5 July 46, if accurately, then he believed that "Hubbard had tried to escape me", but he (Parsons) "took the boat into custody".

The communication is edited (presumably by source 99) ; there might be no key revelations left out (but one does not know). If the communication was given accurately then Parsons was not well disposed towards Ron Hubbard (etc) at the very moment.

1 July 1946 : Parsons "sued Allied Enterprises in Dade County, Florida Circuit Court, case number 101634" (source 99, this is probably inaccurate, the source 05 gives that sued were Parsons' partners as individuals which seems more likely, Parsons being one of the principals in the Allied Enterprises).

10-11 July 1946 : "the three partners signed an agreement duly dissolving the company". Parsons kept two boats, Hubbard one. (I'm skeptical on some of the detail given by source 99 because there seem to be discrepancies between it and other sources, on who exactly had kept which boats). Ron Hubbard, also says source 99, kept one boat and used it "as collateral against a promissory note in the amount of $2900". This does not compute (by my reckoning).

It rather would be Parsons who had kept the third boat as a collateral against the promissory note. (?) This seems a minor detail ; but these "stories" are replete with such inconsistencies.

The source 99 gives some more correspondences by Louis Culling or between the latter and Aleister Crowley. If the communications were reproduced accurately then Aleister Crowley was in the end misinformed on Jack Parsons. (Some of the quotations attributed to A.C. look arch-improbable though ; he was a "wicked" writer — see the dictionary — who would seldom fail to express himself in some clever fashion ; he was not given to exuding outrage by way of commonplaces).

There are some more contradictions ; source 99 gives that Parsons continued to support A.C. to the end of the latter's days ; self-same source gives at another place that A.C. had become dissatisfied with Parsons and had dumped him from O.T.O. (before his own departure in 1947 ; some reports of correspondences by A.C. in 1949 are impossible due to A.C. not being there by that time ; though this could be just a typo).

The first communications quoted by source 99 (p. 155) from L. Culling to K. Germer is entirely biased against J. Parsons (and Ron Hubbard). Some other communications by this writer Cullings (if reproduced accurately) seem to verge on the absurd. He could not but have contributed to the difficulties of Allied Enterprise ; and this looks more certain than many other parts of the story.

All this implies that there had been little (not enough) communication betw. Ron Hubbard and Parsons between April and July 1946. One notes that to purchase three boats may take some few days ; if Hubbard (and Betty Northrup) had then lived on one of the boats (which seems possible) they may have had no telephone to hand. One presumes they may have been busy one with the other from time to time too (an idea which L. Culling clearly did not like for some reason or other, vide source 99 p. 155). Somebody there may have been remiss on keeping in touch with Parsons ; but there may have seemed to be no particular reasons to worry ; in the meanwhile some gossip went on on the West Coast involving also the communications to and with A. Crowley. This much I can make of this story so far.

The Allied Enterprise had been dissolved by an agreement arrived at in a US Court ; I see no reports anywhere of any further Parons/Hubbard complications on the count of that enterprise or stemming from it. — (WPT).

Could Ron Hubbard Have Sinned at the Time ?

      All in all, one needs not exclude the possibility that there may have been some kind of error somewhere by Ron Hubbard himself. The least, a strain in his relations with J. Parsons had not been prevented. Whatever went there, these here considered sources give that the matter had been at end settled in the Court. Is that so unusual, the reader ?

What has all that to do with Ron Hubbard's later work ? Not much, the reader, by any sane reading. The main work by Ron Hubbard was broadly published in 1950 and after that date. it can be examined insofar as authentic copies of it can be found ; and I believe there have been many copies published of this work (safeguard his authentic work the reader even if only "just in case"). I need not endorse the work here beyond advising any reader to find out what it actually does contain ; what is in it, the reader, and not what had been said about it by any parties, whether in favor or against it. — (wPT)

Additional Note

      I somewhat unusual course has been taken by me. I have looked through two sources dedicated J.W. Parsons : one of them written by "an individual who wishes to remain unknown", published in 1999.
      The other source was a text published by Harcourt, 2005. (The connection if any with Harcourt, Brace, etc., later known as Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich looks uncertain.) Both texts misrepresent the work of Ron Hubbard. The latter text does misrepresent some parts of the work of A. Crowley ; both texts treat of the communistic infiltration in the USA in some cavalier fashion.
      To what extent the authors may have been themselves deceived by others would by next to impossible to estimate at a glance. These works may be not inaccurate enough, overall, to cry "foul" before one really knows. However, they are inaccurate in some important respects, that is the reason I am not advertising these sources beyond some modicum.

    The source 1999 lists, for example, L. Ron Hubbard: A Profile, Los Angeles, CSI, 1995 ("Pg. 102-08"), this further referring to some text of 1969. Insofar as Ron Hubbard's relations with Jack Parson and the Agape Lodge are concerned, parts of that text look somewhat absurd. Were its authors only ignorant, including of Ron Hubbard's own statements about his own life, or was it deliberate disinformation by some infiltrating party I have no idea of knowing. I have no way of knowing, either, whether this article was in fact published by CSI, Los Angeles, 1995, or was it somebody's fabrication planted abroad (possibly including on some unwary followers of Ron Hubbard). The data from this article as quoted by the source 1999 are largely untrue, simple as that. (Confer the original statements by Ron Hubbard that might pertain to his connections with JPL, with Jack Parsons, to his own studies of the Oriental philosophy, confer his several friendly mentions of Aleister Crowley himself, albeit not uncritical ; his high opinion on Jack Parsons ; his interest in engineering, his work in Los Angeles for a time in the late 1940's, etc. ; but make sure these are his own statements, the researcher ; knowing the facts of this story should amply reward the careful student).

      The work by Ron Hubbard is too important in this context, professor, to be buried in the maze of details about somebody's problems with girls or about anybody's lust, or the somtime intricate history of the Enochian magic, or the unwholesome parts of the Red infiltration in the USA, or the connections, by any party present with any other imaginable party and the like — all this linked by other sources with some theories no less verbose than impossible of some conspiracy which had never existed but which obscure the actual marxist-leninist ('socialism') conspiracy the marks of which are anywhere one cast a glance, except by the unseeing (apparently the near entirety of the Academia).
      Whatever one's opinion, Ron Hubbard's work has been proven powerful as far as its influence went ; whatever one's opinion, the original work by Ron Hubbard is the base of any force that his legacy presently has or would have. This is being presently corrupted and misused by some party who had acquired the "rights" (apparently by some stratagem) to the literary legacy of Ron Hubbard.
      Should these distortions continue the affair will tend to become serious, Professor (even though that was never Ron Hubbard's intention). The potential damage that a distorted work which has been originally powerful might bring about cannot be estimated and had better never materialised. — (WPT).

* Alan Watts (1915-1973).

Note   " To lead the discussion ... we had chosen a young English member of the Buddhist Society, Mr. Alan Watts... He said that in the West there is an impression that Buddhism is a negative way of life and advocates escaping from the alternating joys and sorrows of life into the monotony of everlasting peace where all opposites are merged in a colourless disillusion. ... To him the Middle Way of Buddhism is not a mere compromise of extremes ... it is a third concept mediating between pairs of opposites, which is not so much between as beyond extremes.
      ...
      "Taking a general world-view, Mr. Watts said that we want neither one world religion nor yet a host of unrelated religions. We want a symphony of different religions... He added that this Congress was the first which had truly conceived such an order ..."
(Sir Francis Younghusband, . A Venture of Faith, the World Congress of Faiths, London 1936. New York : E. P. Dutton, 1937, pages 81-2).

Comment   The 'beyond extremes' is a far better answer to any 'extremes' than the middle way or anything 'moderate', for any 'extremes' insofar as formulated in any language depend entirely on the definitions ; I am afraid that there have been more people world-wide murdered in the name of some ill-stated 'opposition' than due to any other causes. — (WPT)

Quote   ... "It escapes the notice of many well-educated people that the scientific establishment always runs the danger of becoming a rigidly authoritarian religion, a church excommunicating heretics such as Wilhelm Reich, Velikovsky, and Timothy Leary. In this church it is high dogma that everything outside the human skull is relatively stupid and unfeeling, and that animistic religions, such as Shinto, which attribute life and spirit to rocks and rivers, represent the lowest form of intellectual development. Meanwhile, such an imaginative enthusiast for science as Arthur Clarke speculates about vast electronic intelligence located in the galactic center. But the angels may be growing in your window-boxes."

Quote   "In the last two years we have been attempting to apply the "game" conception ... We have developed a philosophy, many rules and a new language ... helping people understand their games, planning new games, working out explicitly the rules, rituals, goals, roles of the games they select."
(T. Leary, Cambridge, Massachusetts 17 July 1961 to T.S. Szasz http://www.szasz.com/leary.html   ).

Note ... ".. the man I first met in a New York restaurant was an extremely charming Irishman who wore a hearing-aid as stylishly as if it had been a monocle. Nothing could then have told me that anyone so friendly and intelligent would become one of the most outlawed people in the world, a fugitive from justice charged with the sin of Socrates, etc.
      " It so happened that Timothy was working under a department of the University that had long been of interest to me, etc.
      " The time I could actually spend at Harvard was all too brief, for this is a university so assured of its intellectual reputation that its faculty can afford to be adventurous. But—even at Harvard—you must draw the line somewhere, and Timothy did not know just where that was. ...
      " I was present at the dinner party where Timothy finally agreed ... to withdraw experimentation with drugs from his work under the department." ... "Timothy and Richard [Alpert] continued their experiments unofficially, and scandalized the University authorities by including undergraduates in their work." ... "Timothy ... was moving to a head-on collision with the established religions of biblical theocracy and scientific mechanism, and simply asking for martyrdom.
      Life with Timothy ... was never dull." ... [He] "was the center of a vortex which pulled in the intellectually and spiritually adventurous from all quarters, and in his entourage student hippies jostled with millionaires and eminent professors, while to spend an evening with him in New York City or Los Angeles was to be swept from one exotically sumptuous apartment to another.
      Through all this, Timothy himself remained an essentially humorous, kindly, lovable, and (in some directions) intellectually brilliant person, and therefore it was utterly incongruous ... to become aware of the ... systematic persecution, etc".
(Alan Watts, Autobiography, New York, 1972, pp. 347-352).

Opinion   An author (a) well-informed who (b) would not deliberately disinform anybody.
      Something of a rarity, perhaps ; (just look at the Academia donkeys, among whom he had after all somehow existed ; just look at the Government mob, perhaps in any country). On the other hand, he had, in my opinion, gone onto areas of experiment which I for one would not recommend and which I would rather certainly recommend against.
      So far as I know T. Leary had wrapped up his career by playing with the Virtual Reality so-called, sorts of computer designs simulating one's experience in the real terrain ; and that would have hardly anything dangerous or harmful in it.
      In the end, I for one would reject or qualify every one of his statements for every one I would accept. But an author who was neither largely ignorant nor largely dumb should have deserved better than what is being observed in the following section. — (WPT)

As a matter of personal opinion : I for one do not subscribe to anything 'conservative' in the abstract. The 'conservative' W.F. Buckley was a student of the 'liberal' P. Weiss yet, towards the end of the latter's career, there were apparently few disagreements between the two on the particulars.
    In so far as a proposition made 5 or 2 thousands years ago can be proved useful (workable) nowadays, one might prefer to remain 'conservative' in that such ideas of the Man's history which have served the individual well ought not to be abandoned, let alone opposed (or destroyed — as the criminal marxists-leninists were undertaking).
    In so far as anything inherited from the past be capable of improvements one may elect to be 'liberal' ; or 'progressive'. Progressive in the sense of human betterment in fact (not by some crackpot theory such as the marxist notorious example).
    This is one of the numerous dichotomies, often overlapping, often mistaken for equivalent, which result in many and probably in the most of the present-day "problems", the most of which can be shown fundamentally not to exist except as verbal outbursts by some newspapermen or other evil manipulators of the public opinion which in turn often lead to actual wars someplace usually over ill-defined issues.
    The sort of line including P. Weiss, W. Chambers, W.F. Buckley does contain, demonstrably, some sane developments — as a matter of certain similarities within the respective works of such, sometimes on the surface dissimilar, authors. This does not need verbal distinctions of the 'conservative' vs. something or other sort.
    After the above had been written I had seen God and Man at Yale by Buckley. Among his principles were, the Christian religion, the individualism, etc.

    It can be observed that such issues do not in the least depend one on the other. Of some notable individualists known to me, Buckley was a Christian, A. Crowley was an 'anti-Christian' religious prophet, H.L. Mencken was, it seems, entirely irreligious.
    Any group when considered as a group immediately sinks below the level of the meanest of its individual members, observed A. Crowley (more or less so, by my memory). This can be proved to have been eminently true. The actual situations in life have to do with either an individual — or with an individual as part of some group or groups of people. If you leave the individual out of the equations, you are usually speaking non-sense the reader.
    It stands to reason that there must be some one person before there can be religion, or anything at all considered. — (WPT).

* Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007).

The statement of 'the new inquisition' (title by R.A. Wilson) looks very true. Why was the title missing in the Los Angeles Public Library when I recently asked ?
      Parts of the 'new inquisition' (often in the name of "science") rather patently have something to do with some of the old absurdities such as : 'matter considered in itself, independently of all the forms which constitute bodies'. That is an actual statement copied by me from a work by one of the famous authors of the past.

      On the mind = brain hoax please see my note under Timothy Leary. I am not giving you any "theory" here, there reader ; I am giving you what I have found myself on the open literary market in the USA (the other countries may be not any better in such respects).
      At this point I should express some doubts on the work by R.A. Wilson himself. To write about somebody's "passionate brain" (as R.A. Wilson wrote) does not behoove a rigorous writer. What was that, his brain being boiled by some micro-wave device, or what was that to mean, I seriously question.
      One is merely being skeptical on what one reads. I cannot entirely endorse R.A. Wilson's work because of just such tidbits in it. His texts seem informative, but I do not yet know what to make of the rest. — WPT, May 07.

By the way :

Where is the Work of Natalie Grant Wraga ?

Mark Very Well, the True Scholar Natalie Grant Wraga, an expert on the Soviet disinformation had parted in the early 2000's. Her literary executrix was one Mary Sidall. There had been a "natalie wraga" site in the Internet controlled, according to the content of its pages, by said Mary Sidall.
      One personal inquiry by me to Ms. Sidall via email, regarding the work of Natalie Grant Wraga, went unanswered. There may have been nothing particularly unusual in such an outcome of an inquiry sent via email. Some time later, however, the site dedicated to the work of Natalie Grant Wraga had, in the meanwhile, disappeared from the Internet (I could not find it, that is, by way of the popular search engines). On the other hand, the further activities of Ms. Wraga's literary executrix Ms. Mary Sidall have been the subject-matter of some articles the Internet which seemed not at all connected with the somebody's literary legacy executing work.
      All this seems consistent with the patterns of the Soviet disinformation — which was the special subject of Natalie Grant Wraga's studies. This work should not have simply disappeared — why should it ? the expert. I know that a number of "reasons" could be conceived for "explanations" of such events -- but where is this work, the expert ; which is a something a true scholar should know.
      Please take notice of this and please keep an eye on this Soviet disinformation ; the networks would not have simply disappeared with the official demise of the Soviet state — and disinformation may be the only thing some people can really do. This may be connected with any other kinds or sources of public disorder. No more "while you slept" sorts of tragedy, the expert, if at all possible. — (WPT, March 2007).

Betrayed (now available through 1stBooks Library) by Joseph Douglass brings to light Communist atrocities and intelligence operations and capabilities still hidden in top secret safes. Drawing heavily on the testimony of former top Communist officials, Betrayed is a unique and timely effort to expose particularly heinous secrets of Communism. Armed with data uncovered by dozens of researchers, Douglass shows how US officials abandoned over 30,000 American POWs (prisoners of war) and MIAs (missing in action) to Communist regimes after World War II and during the Vietnam, Korean and the Cold wars. Douglass thoroughly examines what the US government knew. He identifies the officials who decided to abandon the captives and details the subsequent efforts to hide information and cover-up what happened. Douglass' investigation was inspired by the congressional testimony of Czech general major Jan Sejna, who defected to the US in 1968. Sejna revealed that thousands of American prisoners captured by Communists were used as human guinea pigs in ghastly medical experiments, mostly terminal, using atomic radiation and chemical and biological warfare agents. Sejna helped design, coordinate, and monitor the operation that used American POW/MIAs in experiments when he was a member of the Czech Communist government�� decision-making hierarchy. Betrayed also reveals how and why Sejna�� reputation and credibility were viciously attacked behind his back in an effort to undermine what he had to say. Joseph D. Douglass, Jr., Ph.D., has worked in the national security field for over 35 years.

Comment It looks like the book by K. Starr which perhaps should have been translated into other languages was not ; but some material published by him which does not at all seem necessary to any useful purpose (other then the mere record-keeping) was.

Question — to the American reader. Why is it that some people in some quarters of the globe dislike the Americans very much ?

* Stanley George Culliford (1920-2001?)

" Dr Culliford entered Victoria University in 1937 , but with the onset of war, trained as a pilot and headed for Europe in 1940. At 22, he was recognised by the Polish for his bravery flying a top-secret mission into German-occupied Poland and bringing back plans of Hilter's V2 rocket. ... The operation code-named MOTYL (meaning Butterfly), was a priority for the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill anxious for its completion.
      "Dr Culliford, who in 1977 retired as assistant principal of Victoria University and ended his pease time career in tertiary education, told the New Zealand Herald in 1989 how MOTYL almost ended in catastrophe, when the Dakota's undercarriage became stuck in the mud. He Unloaded the plane and stuffed planks of wood under the wheels to gain traction, but the wheels wouldn't move. With dawn fast approaching and fearing he would have to burn the plane to prevent it falling into enemy hands, he made what he said " was one last attempt at taking off", and succeeded. He returned to Brindisi and then Britain, with the drawings and parts giving the RAF valuable information about the V2" [— although another stray-rocket of the type had been in the meanwhile got from Sweden, as I find in the literature ; which in no way diminished the feat of flying to Poland and from there in the most risky circumstances. (WPT)]
      "One of only two New Zealanders to receive the Polish medal, he also received the New Zealand's DSO. In 1968 he was futher recognised by the Polish with the Polonia Restituta, and in 1974 returned to Poland with his wife for a reunion with the Polish underground fighters. After the war he returned to Victoria University in 1946 to complete an MA with first-class honours, then claimed teaching qualifications, studing for a PhD at the University of London while on a postgraduate travelling scholarship. Becoming a lecturer and administrator, he also wrote two New Zealand scouting histories, as well as published works on Shakespeare's text and 17th century English colonial historian William Strachey."

The Lithuanian

Note   Many prominent Poles were of the Lithuanian ancestry, e.g. the Sapieha family, the Radziwiłł family, A. Towianski, A. Mickiewicz, J. Piłsudski ; the national 'identity' sometimes ambiguous. (WPT).

LITHUANIAN SONG version by Frederick Chamier, 1830. Wilia, the mother of streamlets ! 'tis true That thy sands are of gold, and thy wateres are blue ; But the virgin who bathes in thy water so clear, Her heart is much purer, her features more fair. In the sweet vale of Kowno thou rushest along, The tulip, the rose, the Narcissus among ; So the fair Lithuanian may see at her feet The youths of her country, more blooming and sweet. Through the valley thou murmurest, accorning the flower To join in the Niemen's impetuous power ; So the fair Lithuanian her countrymen flies - 'Tis a stranger the beautiful maiden does prize.  .   .   .

Etc. "Wilija, naszych strumieni rodzica. " by Adam Mickiewicz - "tr. by Frederick Chamier from a French translation by Caroline Jaenisch, The New Monthly, XXIX (1830), 79." Kowno is called Kaunas in the Lithuanian (so far as I know).

* Ladislaus Jagello (Jogaila, other variants) (1351 - 1434).   A ruler in Lithuania, in 1386 by marriage with Jadwiga (Hedwig) of Anjou became King of Poland and Lithuania, starting a dynasty and effecting a union between the two countries which had lasted for some four centuries —

Wladislaus Dei gracia rex Polonie necnon terrarum Cracovie, Sandomirie, Syradia, Lancicie, Cuiavie, Lithuanie princeps supremus, Pomoranie Russieque dominus et heres etc. (wording found in the Internet and I cannot guarantee it is exactly accurate) ; himself illiterate ; on consent by Pope Boniface IX (11 February 1397), Jagello had on 26 July 1400 approved a charter of the Cracow University (originally established in 1364 by King Kasimir but without the full-scale credentials.). This was the second major university in the central (eastern) Europe (following one in Prague) ; to this day it is being called the Jagellonian University.

There may have been some more ; is there any intelligence present at all at any Academia to find out about such details ?

I'm not always persuaded to everything I find out there.

Perhaps the two authors had been reported largely accurately).

Note   ' Witelo's mother was from a Polish knightly house, his father梐 settler from Thuringia. He called himself, in Latin, "Turingorum et Polonorum filius" : "a son of Poland and Thuringia." He studied at Padua University around 1260, then went on to Viterbo. He became friends with William of Moerbeke, the translator of Aristotle. Witelo's major surviving work on optics, Perspectiva, was dedicated to William. ' (Source : http://www.answers.com/witelo ).

Note The development of rocket technology in Poland is several centuries old. It seems very likely that the first utilization of rocket weapons in Europe took place on Polish soil during the Tartar attack in the 13th century. The Polish historian John Dlugosz, who described the course of the decisive battle of Legnica (1241) in his chronicles, stated in the narrative that the Tartars carried a dragon head that spewed smoke and fire at the Polish knights, rendering the incapable of continuing the battle. In a monastery near the battle field of Legnica, there is a painting which accurately depicts the Tartars' dragon head as described by Dlugosz.
(W. Geisler, History of the Development of Rocket Technology etc., 1971.
Essays etc., Washington : NASA, 1977, vol. ii, p. 102).

Note   "In Europe, rockets were were used for the first time by the Tartars, probably during the battle of Legnica (Dolny Sask - Silesia) in 1241, as reported in a book by the Polish 15th century history writer, Jan Długosz.² The Tartars used the poison gases coming out of dragon heads mounted on long ticks. A little church was built on the battleground near Legnica. On the walls inside of the church a fresco shows the battle ³ (Figure 1).⁺ T. Przypkowski³ also found that a monk Seweryn (about 1380), living the the same monastery, had written on the application of powder to propel the "tubes<' which probably were rockets. If this is true, it would be the first written statement on rocket application in Poland.
      The first Polish description of rocket production appears in the book of M. Bielski . . ." etc.

* Marcin Bielski (1495?-1575).

' Although Greek culture was much better fitted for such a r鬺e, Russian men of letters began to have recourse to Latin civilization and to study Latin books . . . By degrees some notions on formal logic, some dissertations of Aristotle on natural science, expounded in this spirit, some treatises of Thomas Aquinas on justice and other topics, and some works on history, for instance, the chronicle of Martin Byelsky, penetrated into Russia. ' (A.

* Jan Łaski (1499-1560).   A friend of Erasmus, for a time superintendent of the Strangers Church in London (i.e a special house of worship where any foreign persons visiting in England could congregate).

Want to be buried ? Not I.). J. Łaski spent the most of his life abroad, upon returning to Poland was helpful to the Reformation movements in that country.

* Hieronim Moskorzowski (c. 1560 - 1625).

Note "Moscorovius was perhaps more distinguished than any other layman of his time for his noble birth, his large wealth, his wide learning, and his zeal for religion. He married the daughter of the celebrated Dudith, was an intimate friend of Socinus, and was repeatedly chosen a member of the national Diet. He was lavish in his support of church and college at Raków. With the Jesuits .. he carried on controversies, but on so high a plane of courtesy as to win their praise.⁶

Excerpts from The Great Didactic by Comenius :

THE METHOD OF LANGUAGES
[excerpt]

24. By subsidiary books are meant those by whose help the school-books may be used with greater speed and with more result.

... a small vocabulary, both Vernacular-Latin and Latin-Vernacular, should be provided.

... an etymological Latin-Vernacular dictionary, giving the simple words, their derivatives, their compounds, and the reason for the meanings attached.

... a phraseological dictionary in the Vernacular, in Latin ( and if necessary in Greek), forming a compendium of the various phrases, synonyms, and periphrases ...

Finally, ... a comprehensive lexicon (Vernacular-Latin and Latin-Greek) which shall embrace, without exception, every point in each language. This should be carried out in a scholarly and accurate manner ...

25. No such comprehensive dictionary has hitherto been produced. A Polish Jesuit, G. Cnapius, has, it is true, done good service to his countrymen by his work entitle A Thesaurus of Polish, Latin, and Greek ; but in this work there are three defects. Firstly, the collection of vernacular words and phrases is incomplete. Secondly, he has not observed the order that we suggested above, since individual, figurative, and obsolete words are not arranged under separate headings, though in this way the peculiarities, the elegances, and the resources of both languages equally would be illustrated. For he has given a number of Latin renderings for each word and phrase of Polish, while according to my plan only, one, but that an exact equivalent, should be given. In this way, my dictionary would be of great service to those translating books from Latin into the vernacular, and vice versa. Thirdly, in Cnapius' Thesaurus there is a great lack of method in the arrangement of examples. These should not be carelessly heaped together. First, simple illustrations, drawn from history, should be given, then more ambitious ones taken from the orators, then the more examples and uncommon usages of poets, and finally the uses that are obsolete.

Caveat Emptor   The Latin 'opus', singular, means 'work' and the plural 'opera' ('works') is being formed from it. 'Opera omnia quae extant' means 'all the existing (extant) works' — of an author.
    Obviously, 'operum omnium' is rank non-sense. This had been copied by me from the University of California catalogue. Whatever the genesis of such an error, one had rather suspected the worst — for a blunder in the Latin would not have occurred by a person who does not know the language ; nor would it have occurred by a person who does ; hence it seems likely to have been intentional.
    One notes that 'keckermann opera omnia' would not show the (illiterate) 'operum omnium'. It might show the following bibliographic item (see * below) ; the number of pages given in the following (a 'reprint' in 1763?) is 235 ; as contrasted with over (or well over) the 1,000 of the original (which seem entirely probable since that author was prolific). Also, an idea of publishing someone's 'opera omnia' which has been abridged seems incongruous.
Somebody's Complete Works, abridged ? Professor ? (WPT).

* Griszka Otr�piev (d. 1606).

Note  "[He] ... allowed the splendour of Polish life and customs to have its effect on him ; of his having in Poland gone over to Catholicism people certainly knew nothing at Moscow ; his autograph declaration to the Pope has recently come to light out of the Vatican archives. What a century later Peter the Great was only to carry through with the help of iron determination and most terrible cruelty the frivolous youth thought that he could do in sport. He fellďż˝not because of the falseness of his birth, for that point was quite secondary, and has been made prominent by Schiller quite contrary to the facts. Even the most genuine scion of Rurik would infallibly have come to grief over roast veal, table music, and not washing oneself in the " bďż˝nya " before going to church. In spite of his vanity Demetrius was really eager to know and thirsted for European knowledge, and the Jesuits who accompanied him could not serve him fast enough in that respect : he contemplated the immediate opening of High Schools in Moscow, even if he fetched the scholars at first from abroad. By this over-great eagerness for what was new, which did not go hand in hand with the necessary strictness and seriousness, he dug his own grave, wounded the religious feelings of his subjects, the only ones that they had, and irritated them into revolts which with his leniency and want of foresight had only too easy work of it. The attempt to let in freely the customs and knowledge of the West through widely opened gates was destined to fail this time."
(Aleksader Brückner, A Literary History of Russia, London and Leipsic : Unwin, 1908, pp. 36-8.)

Note   "When the Czar Ivan the Terrible died in 1584 he left a young son Demetrius, and this son was supposed to have been murdered in childhood. But about 1600 a young man emerged from obscurity claiming that he himself was Demetrius, who had escaped death and until now had been kept in hiding. He had for some time been in one of the Socinian schools at Hoszcza in Volynia, and had been confirmed in that faith; and the Socinian leaders, believing in his genuineness and sincerity, therefore entertained great hopes of his influence in their favor, if he should come to the throne. Both in Russia and in Poland he won considerable support for his claim; and late in 1604 he invaded Russia with an army and defeated the forces of the Czar Boris. Then a few months later the Czar suddenly died, Demetrius seized the crown that he claimed was rightfully his. Hence in 1605 the [Socinian] Synod sent to Moscow a delegation of five to enlist his active interest in their cause. Demetrius, however, had diplomatically sought wider support for his own cause by professing to be first a Roman and then a Greek Catholic; and the mission after six months, returned disillusioned to Poland . Shortly afterwards Demetrius fell a victim to his enemies." etc.

* Walenty Sebisch (1577-1657), or Zebisz.

Note   "Walenty Sebisch, .. an urban military architect living in Wroclaw in the 16th and 17th centuries, also left behind many drawings and notes pertaining to rocket fabrication and use. He wrote that the rocket launcher in the form of a dragon head, as employed by the Tartars at Legnica, was a traditional device for hurling military and decorative rockets, and that it was used later on in the Renaissance as well. Sebisch's rocket drawings show them equipped with small stabilizers attached to the body of the rocket. Sebisch also drew deep, conical recesses in the fuel which played the role of nozzles. Moreover, rocket clusters can be seen in Sebisch's drawings, corresponding to the current concept of rocket batteries."

* Raphael Leszczynski (1579-1636).   — (the dates from Internet).

"The [religious] persecution [in Moravia and Bohemia] waxed ... Comenius made for Poland, which he had once before visited on a secret mission, having been sent thither by the Moravian Brethren—probably in order to ascertain if they could find an asylum in that country. He betook himself to the town of Lesna (Lissa, Leszno), in Posnania, and obtained employment as a teacher in the Moravian gymnasium there—apparently as Rector of it.¹ The Count of Lissa (Rafael) afforded protection to the persecuted brethren." etc.

    ¹ In the dictionnaire de Pedagogie his scholastic function is described as being that of organiser of the education of the Moravian Colony only. That his duties were of a more general kind is clear from his own writings. [note by the author Laurie; it seems to me that Comenius may have started with some comparably more modest duties and had been eventually promoted. (WPT)]

(S.S. Laurie John Amos Comenius, Cambridge : the University Press, 1887, p. 28). .. In 1618 he [i.e. Comenius] was sent to Fulneck, where he acted as pastor to the Moravian community and was at the same time inspector of the school. During the three years that followed he devoted himself entirely to the spiritual and bodily welfare of his flock ... He even tried to introduce bee-culture, and sent to Hungary for bees, then unknown in Fulneck.¹ His married life now began, and in the society of his wife, a Hungarian lady, Comenius spent what were probably his hapiest years.

    ¹ J. A. Comenius, Grosse Unterrichtslehre (Julius Beeger und Franz Zoubek), p. 14.

(M.W. Keatinge, Great Didactic etc, London, 1910, pp. 6-7)

... In 1628 all who shared the evangelic faith had definitely to leave Bohemia. Comenius, accompanied by his wife, [etc] .. set out for Poland, and on the 28th of March reached Lissa, a town in the province of Posen. Here, under the powerful protection of Count Raphael of Lissa, he was destined to find a home for the next twelve years, and it is to this period that his chief educational activity belongs. .. most of the works that made his name famous were written before 1641. ... Now for the first time since his ordination he took to teaching as a means of earning his livelihood, and, as a master of the Gymansium at Lissa¹ he had ample means of putting his theories into practice ...

"Add one to the Number of Fingers that constitute the Length of your Rocket, and multiply the product by the Length of the Rocket, and you will have the due Length of its Stick: for example; if the Rocket is 8 Fingers in Length, add 1 to them, and you will have 9; which Number multiplied by 8, which is the Length or Height of the Rocket, will give 72. You shall then tye a Stick of so many Fingers in Length to your Rocket.
(C. Simienowicz, The Great Art of Artillery, London, 1729 ; as given by von Braun and Ordway, pp. 16-18).

Note   "Simienowicz [i.e. Siemienowicz] was a commander of the Polish Army; his book was written in Latin and published in that language, but the Latin text is only a part of the whole plan. The German edition, listed here, is a larger work, finished according to Simienowicz's original plan by Daniel Elrich, Ordnance Master of the city of Frankford-on-the-Main. The Latin section was translated into German by Leonhard Beer."
(Willy Ley, Rockets, Missiles, and Men in Space, New York : Viking, 1957, p. 516; ed. 1968, p. 528)

Note   One of the principal contributions to the development of the art of rocket construction in Poland, indeed, of the whole of Europe at that time, was the work of Casimir Siemienowicz who led the Polish Royal Artillery under King Wladislaus IV. Written in Latin and published in Amsterdam in 1650, his book was titled Artis magnae artilleriae, Pars Prime (The Art of Great Artillery, Part One. A year later, in 1651, this work was published in French, then translated into German in 1676, and into Dutch and English in 1729. For over 100 years it proved an indispensable textbook for training artillery troops in all the countries of Europe.
      In the Third chapter Siemienowicz provided a systematic and amply illustrated description of various rockets used at this time, as well as some of his own designs, including details of the construction, solid-propellant components, etc. Siemienowicz was probably the first to propose a three-stage rocket, consisting of three nested casing, each ejected in sequence after the fuel had burned. The mass ration of the first, second, and third stages was 6.4:2.4:1. Siemienowicz also described a two-stage rocket, with a rocket cluster (rocket batter) employed as the first stage, as well as various rocket launchers. For certain rockets, instead of the customary stabilization rods, Siemienowicz employed two, three, or four small stabilizer fins fixed to the casings.⁺

(W. Geisler, History .. of Rocket Technology .. in Poland, 1971).

Note   "Siemienowicz's great Artis Magnae Artilleriae came out in Amsterdam in 1650 and was later expanded and translated into German and French. The English edition, which appeared in 1729 under the title The Great Art of Artillery, contains twenty-three excellent copperplate engravings. One of the rockets, adapted from a design originally prepared by Schmidlap,⁺ called for three stages or steps : P>Siemienowicz later explained that the first two rockets "will by the Third be carried up into the Air, where they perform their Parts; flying from one side to the other in oblique Directions; for they cannot ascend perpendicularly, for want of Sticks or a Counterpoise . . ."
      He does add guiding sticks to some of his rockets in order to "assist them in the right Ascent." How long should a given stick be? The answer is precise:

      Among many designs illustrated are skyrockets "that mount up without Sticks," which are affixed with four small wings "after the manner of the Feathers of an Arrow." One drawing has a surprisingly modern, delta-wing look." etc

Note this text had been published anonymously and so was the English translation by J. Bidle. An English copy was in the possession of J.

    * (See also Socinus).

Caveat 1 The University of California catalogue (Dec 06) gives, "Translation sometimes attributed to John Biddle". So does the New York Public Library. This does not mean a thing. The evidence presently available, which had been carefully gathered by a number of scholars in Poland, England, the USA (e.g. S. Kot, J. McLachlan, E.M. Wilbur, etc) implies J. Biddle's authorship of these translations with approach to near certaintty.
    Seeing what I have by now seeing, any "new" and fabricated material might appear at any place at any time ; the purlblind "expert" and the half-lunatic scholar will buy anything, the reader. Please be cautious.
      The library catalogue entries seem carefully compiled. At this stage I have little certainty on what may be accurate reporting there and what may be pure bunk. This overlooked, the university professor, can lead to any other bunk being placed in the public institutions of "learning", made consistent with what has already been altered.

Caveat 2 This was printed together with five (other) anti-trinitarian tracts, in London in 1653. The libraries, by my inspection (but you do not have to believe me but rather make sure you check out the likely authentic sources, professor), did feature that "five-tract" edition. I do not see it listed today (Dec 06).
      The carefully compiled, so it would seem, entries in the libraries might represent pure fabrications, which might contain some true material in them, and anything.

Was this author etc. really that important ? You tell me first, why should anybody tamper with this work, professor. — (WPT).

[Comment Leibnitz had some complaints against the Socinians/Unitarians but his own Theology does not always convince either — me for one.

A Trinity According To Me (WPT)

1) Bodies (material objects),

2) Words or symbols (which are material objects or actions on the physical universe),

3) Reasonings (on or from the immaterial planes or levels) ; this would cover self as one 'extreme' - and would seem to tend towards the Deity of the theist as another (indefinitely broad) 'extreme'.

Apparently more naturally (truly) stating :

0) Reasonings (by self, etc.),
1) Bodies,
2) Words or symbols.

The above might be not "the same" thing as the Trinity subject-matter of arguments on the historic records ; but I suspect that those arguments stemmed from some such notions as the above.

W. Paul Tabaka, Los Angeles, March 2007. Note The above had been written with a knowledge of the existence of, but without consultings, some but not all of the following entries.
      Also note, what I call 'reasonings' should in no instance be objectified. The term as used here only has meaning within the context of the other parts of the scheme ; an analogy : the '=' sign in arithmetics is entirely devoid of meaning outside some actual equation, yet is it necessary to the statements of any equation — this being a matter of convention.). (WPT).

The Trinity According to Jack Keyser

      Cassius Jackson Keyser, mathematician, had made some defenses of the Holy Trinity in his The Old Theology and the New Infinity (early 1900's). This point might worthy of knowing for (a) political, and (b) scientific reasons.
      Keyser took objection to some anti-trinitarian statements by an orator of the times ; speaks of the Trinity as "the venerabl creed", and offers and example of purely mathematical concepts of infinite sets overlapping in such a way that the three can be considered as one.
      The truth told, all that seemed true to me but did not seem quite to agree with the Holy Trinity the wording known to me from other sources. (Fallacy of detachment ?). However, Jack the Trinitarian (if I may say so) may be something good to know about when trying for some possible analyses of these issues.

The Trinity According to Ralph M. de Bit

".. rational as out conception is, it is necessary to defend it from opponents who quote arithmetics, mechanics, and the Council of Nicea against us."

— Ralph M. de BIT, 1930.

      'The concept of the Trinity is as old as human thought. The religious history of the human race everywhere witnesses to a realization of the triplicity of function of the Supreme Being. It was defined in the Christian faith. In underlies Zoroastrianism. The three aspects of the Deity were personified in Hinduism as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. In the Upanishads, which are the oldest Scriptures extant, it is said of Brahm "of him thou canst predicate nothing but his threeness." He is "Sat," or Absolute* Undifferentiated Being, ; he is "Tat, ' or Absolute* Undifferentiated Being individualizing itself into duality and expressing its creative force and substance in the phenomenal universe through and as its own individualized Self ; and he is "Ananda," Absolute* Undifferentiated Being operating in and through the phenomenal universe, and in and upon the hearts of men, in bliss joy, love, and stimulating radiance. Sat, Tat, Ananda : God in essence, God in manifestation, God in outflowing life ; and THESE THREE ARE ONE.
(de Bit, Universal Will, Los Angeles, 1930, p. 69).

      * It seems to me that the term 'Absolute' in the above-quoted could be dropped without any loss to the exposition.
      Three sorts of statements can be made : about the self ("I") ; self in relations to other selves (e.g. the reader) ; all selves apprehended as one — were it possible, and there is no telling that it is not.
      The preceding does not pertain to any parts of the physical universe⁺ — although it is being communicated by the means of one. — (WPT).

      ⁺ Compare : '.. "I" ... not part of the physical universe' (Wittgenstein, Tractatus).

* Wojciech Bobowski (1610-1675).   also known as Albertus Bobovius and as Ali Ufky. By some reports he was a captive in the Turk hands in some one of the then numerous wars ; I do not know anything certain in that respect and one can be wary about any sources of such (sometimes fantastic) stories. By any account Bobovius rose to prominence in the court of Mahomet IV, apparently as a translator, etc. He was also a musician and it seems it was he who had introduced the Western musical notation in Turkey.

* Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687). — a Dantiscus.

On Firmamentum Sobiescianum

      I gather that Hevelius had termed a constellation Firmamentum Sobiescianum ; so it seems but that is not what one finds in the Internet (by a quick search). Are there chances the Academia people would notice such things ? (WPT).

Parts of these histories look inconvenient. Howbeit, Professor, there is probably no other recourse than to Evigila Polonia by Jan Amos Komensky (1655-6) — insofar as one wants some sense of the events (without yet placing much blame at any not-quite-right places).
    One thing seem relevant : the war at the time was a religious one : more so than a patriotic-national one. The contest was between the Catholics and the Protestants (nothing unique). The latter-day writers often seem to have interpreted it by criteria which in the 17th century had not yet quite existed.

* Józef Maria Hoëné-Wroński (1778-1853).  

Note   ... "Hoene Wroński, physicist, chemist, musicologist, and philosopher of the first part of the 19th century, defined music as "the corporealization of that intelligence that is in sounds."  Looking back, it seems to me that it was this definition which started me thinking of music as organized sound instead of sanctified and regimented notes." etc
(Edgard Varese, quoted in the biography by Louise Varese, New York, Toronto, 1972, p. 42.)

Note on Messianism   Term introduced by J.M. Hoene Wronski (1778-1853) ; confer his letter of 1827 to the Pope if you can find the text (this is something I propose should not be disregarded, you Academia ; etc.). The idea was undertaken by Mickiewicz, as Polish Messianism — that special use was however not approved of by Wronski himself so far as I know.

    Now, Professor, are there any ones over there with any IQ above, say, 50 ? All this Messianism simply means the bettering of the living conditions ; the only question may be, who is to do it ; then, how to organize it — under whatever denomination.

Wronski seems to have produced some good formulations, Professor ; perhaps some parts of them might need some bringing up-to-date, by comparison with the more recent developments. There should be "nothing to it", Professor ; one merely finds invariances between the numerous authors ; of those, it is only a small fraction that can be found to have made any sense ; but these are the men who had produced some actual Progress (and not some 'philosophers' and bunkombe-mongers).
    No little nonsense has been written in the meanwhile on this or that version of the development. One individual's or one group's efforts at bettering (or say, improving) the conditions, when conceived well, do not have to depend on and should seldom if ever go counter another individual's or another group's work dedicated to such a purpose.
    Whether to call this Messianism or to call it by some other name, or leave it nameless (provided some constants are present) should not matter much ; one ought only to steer clear of any 'elementalism' (Korzybski), that is, of arguing over the facts, or without connection to the facts, based primarily on by what general term this 'school' or that 'school' had been called.
    The story of Messianism may be interesting (and rich in useful detail). Oxford English Dictionary, an article of 1867 on the Wronski's Messianism : 'according to which each man was to construct his own Paraclete for himself'. This seems likely to have been close to the original formulations. I do not know if Wronski himself had used the term 'Paraclete', and the meaning of the term has been, as usual, disputed by the pundits.
    The Greek etymology being, 'para-' and 'clitos', akin to call, this would seemingly necessarily solve as some fundamental 'each man has to evaluate for himself' ; or, 'whom do you call for counsel', 'what do you bring to bear on the matter' at hand.
    This has of course nothing to do with "waiting for the Messiah" to come (you just wait and wait). So far as I know this has not much to do with anybody's being "the Christ of the nations", which might sometimes contain some truth and proffer some momentary comfort (but I for one am not up to any more passion so long as I can help it).
    What one might want is resurrection, This having been to some appreciable degree achieved would supersede any kind of vicarious atonement needs. (WPT).

Notes   "It was Bowring who first brought the name of Mickiewicz to English notice, in an anthology of Polish verse entitled Specimens of the Polish Poets (1827), prepared by Bowring with the aid of Christian Lach Szyrma, (1) a Pole residing in Edinburgh. (p. 1).

* * *

The November Uprising brought back to the British Isles, this time for good, Bowring's old friend and collaborator, Christian Lach Szyrma. Arrived on British soil, Szyrma set to work at once to translate the latest work to come from Mickiewicz's pen. This was the allegorical and semi-Biblical Ksiegi narodu polskiego I pielgrzymstwa polskiego. The weekly Athenaeum reviewed this in its issue of January 18, 1834, etc._ (p. 7)

?. . . In April 1840, [the Foreign Quarterly] offered a survey of Polish literature in general and of Mickiewicz in particular which seems to owe much to the two exiles, Lach Szyrma and S.B. Gnorowski. Etc.?(p. 8).

Note  " S.G. Simmons, Oxford Slavonic Papers III (1952), 138, makes the statement that the first author with a direct knowledge of Slavonic matters to contribute scholarly articles in the Slavic field in English was Valerian Krasinski. This is not quite the case, as Szyrma (1790-1866) preceded Krasinski in the field. Neither Krasinski nor Szyrma was a professional scholar : both were popularizers of scholarship. As early as in Blackwood's Magazine for September, 1821, we find Szyrma referred to as an authority in Slavic matters (see pp. 145-51). Szyrma and Krasinski had much in common : both came from the eastern borderland of the Polish Commonwealth, both attended the University of Wilno, both were Protestants, and both settle permanently in England and died there. Szyrma抯 son became a Protestant clergyman in England. Szyrma's part in the preparation of Bowring's Specimens is fully discussed in (A.P. Coleman, John Bowring and the Poetry of the Slavs 1941).

* Klementyna Tanska (1798-1845).   So fas as I know the French writer H.

So far as I know he had visited her in her domicile somewhere in the Ukraine. So far as I see the Internet, none of this information is found. What I find overal seems so uncertain -- that one in the end does not believe even an iota of anything. Where is the expert (are you people blind out there -- the Academia, the Government, etc. ? Somebody is simply trying to plant false information wherever possible. What's the use, the President, the billions spent on anything at all when all that is being undercut by some hidden criminals who, it seems, conceive war as their idea of fun the surest way to spawning such being by making the people stupid on every subject ?

* Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855).

      Apprently a forceful personality, with many admirers or followers wold-wide, I am not too happy with some of this author's definitions I have seen. Perhaps the translations (from the French, most likely) may have been to some degree faulty.
      This put me in mind of some statements by Carl Gauss, about some other authors' definitions ; do not they make your hair raise on ends ? (It was 'not always better even with Kant himself').
      What is actually at stake : some of the statments by the poets or writers of the period may be just as valid as ever ; and some may be not. Who was the poet or the author of the period would be idle arguments at best (that is, at the least bad).
      Much of the material of that epoch has been in the end corroborated by the plentiful attempts ot those who came after. This is probably the sole criterion on what exactly to retain and/or emphasize, and what could be safely disregarded. — (WPT).

Question 2 :
    * Nubar-Pacha devant l'histoire. [By] Alexandre Holynski. Paris, E. Dentu [1886] 2 p. l., viii, 148 p. 12mo.

Is that authentic ? (The expert, please tell me). First, the author Holinski had (without much doubt) an interest in the South American matters, and the publications listed in the first section of this entry seem consistent one with the other on that subject. Did he also translate a text from the Polish by Kraszewski ? Not impossible (but please tell me, the expert, was it really so). So far, I have not yet seen the evidence of there having been such title by Kraszewski in existence ; there seems to have been such a one by a Korzeniowski (presumably the father of Joseph Conrad), but not by Kraszewski.

Anyhow, if yes, and yes, had he at pretty much the same time published a work on the Egyptian Nubar Pasha ? (Is 'pasha' really 'pacha' in French ? At least this one should be easy to answer — any French persons out there to tell me?). But then, I am severely skeptical about both these itmes in the second section of this entry and especially about the last one. (Why a South Amercian expert should write, all of a sudden, about Egypt ?). Any experts, out there, please tell me — — (WPT).

Caveat Emptor Some Katherina, or Ekaterina, Sayn-Witttenstein has been reported to have written some memoirs of the Russian Revolution fall, in some connection with a Marie Razumowski. There is also some more literature of some later times attributed to authors named Razumowski. Knowing the nature of those events and the character of their makers, any of this could be fabrications. Alas, — one simply does not know. (WPT).

— as given by the University of California. Why should this writer on mathematics (i.e Boncompagni) publish on the powers of the Pope ? Where is the original allegedly (UC) in Italian, of that text ?

Will you keep asleep, the expert, until the bombs fall ? That is exactly what all this disinformation leads to, Professor. The above text might by authentic — but I do not know and am not convinced ; please somebody answer the questions I have posed. (WPT, 30 Dec 06).

Possible fabrication, Professor. I see a title, 'Modjeska and Adrieene', in the University of California database (Dec 2006), attributed to a respectable author -- but I had never before seen this title and the date of publication does not look quite right. What is this about, Professor ? (WPT).

Caveat Emptor I note some discrepancies which might be or not be trivial. Compared a text by W.J. Rose (hard copy to my hand which looks fully authentic) with what I have found at the New York Public Library (2 Dec 06) :

Rose : 'slightly abridged from Jan Słomka's Autobiography of a Village Major',
NYPL : ' Translation of W骿it w Zikowie.' [? — I am failing to notice any publication of that title.]

Rose : 'Minerva Press, 1941.'
NYPL : 'Minerva Publishing Co., [1941]' [? I could understand that some lazy typist might tend to enter 'press' instead of 'publishing' ; but why the converse ? This does seem trivial, but it only adds to the numerous other uncertainties or plain errors.]

Please, the professional scholar, wake up to notice the oceans of error abroad — including by omission — (WPT).

* Bogdan Hutten-Czapski (b. 1851).  

Note   ... On the German side, the emperor had himself as early as July 31, 1914, a day before Germany declared war on Russia, given the German-Polish magnate Count Hutten-Czapski (a personal acquaintance of his) a non-binding assurance that the Polish state should be restored when Russia was defeated.⁴. The imperial promise may have been vague, but the Imperial Chancellor confirmed it on the same day ... As another pointer in the same direction we may note that immediately on the outbreak of war this same Hutten-Czapski, who was a lieutenant-colonel in the Prussian army, was attached to the general staff in charge of Polish and Ukrainian questions. His first commission was to foment insurrection in Congress Poland by means which included the raising of a Polish Legion-the counterpart to Pilsudski's in Galicia-and the dissemination among the Poles of leaflets and cartoons to awaken sympathy for the Central Powers.
      A month later Hutten-Czapski was relieved of this commission but only, it would appear, because his sympathies were too strongly nationalist. ..."

Bio/hist. Marcella Sembrich was a Polish born coloratura soprano who sang leading roles in European and American opera during her highly successful career. From 1898 to 1909 she was a regular member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, New York. She continued performing as a concert singer after her retirement from the operatic stage. Sembrich also became an instructor of singing at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Juilliard School of Music, becoming mentor to many pupils who later became famous in their own right. Note The predominant language is English, with large amounts in German, Polish, and French. There is also material in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. Much of the material in German and Polish is accompanied by an English translation.

He "has shown by that weighty English work, The Logic of Plato, that he is an accomplished philosopher in the technical and scholarly sense of that much-abused term. That he is versatile as well as scholarly would seem to follow from the fact that his previous writings, numerous, if not voluminous, embrace essays in five other languages—Polish, German, Russian, Spanish, and French—and range in subject from chemistry to politics."

Twardowski by a credible source ; it looks like this might be an attempt to do in Descartes, Twardowski, etc. etc. But I do not know, the expert, if any ; please take notice of this one (and do not assume it is authentic before you have made sure so -- ).

* Fortunat Strowski (1866-1952).  

On Nationalism and Patriotism

The confusion attendant on the terms needs not be hopeless. One can essay : 'nationalism' fundamentally stands for a number of persons born of one stock, more or less related. This is entirely independent of their present geographic location ; it seems that the notion of 'nationalism' dates from the times when Poland had become as-if 'a soul looking for a body' (Lord Acton) — in the 18-19 centuries ; see also Ernest Renan. The 'patriotism' would seem rather to stand for the 'land of the fathers', patria, or any sentimental or other attachments to the land of one's birth, his fatherland also called motherland, that is, very strictly a geographic location in the terrains out there. On some issues these aspects of one's individual outlook can be entirely separate ; usually they may be somehow connected. There should not be anything "wrong" with any such notions, the murderous marxian propaganda to the contrary — provided that utterly rational criteria are being applied. One's self-interest precedes the interest of the group, one's group's self-interest precedes the interests of other groups. None such definitions of one's interest must imply anything contrary to other's interests. An ideal scene of such description might be not immediately achievable but can form part of the definition of one's (etc) purposes. — (WPT).]

* Kasimir Zorawski (1866-1953).

Note 'S. Lie's [see Sophus Lie] method... was further investigated by K. Zorawski in Acta Math., Vol. XVI, 1892-1893.'  (F. Cajori, A History of Mathematics, New York, 1919, 4th edition New York : Chelsea, 1985, page 356.)

I find : he had almost married Maria Sklodowska (eventually Mme Curie) ; among his students in mathematics was Zdzislaw Krygowski (see) ; (the data from Internet but the sources look reliable ; WPT).

* Maria Skłodowska Curie (1867-1934).

Note   "It will be remembered that X-rays were discovered in 1895 and that the characteristic that distinguished them from all "radiations" theretofore known was their very much greater penetrating power. Indeed, it was their ability to penetrate the flesh of the hand and leave shadow pictures of the bones upon photographic plates that first called their existence to the attention of Professor Roentgen in Würzburg, Germany. It was Becquerel's search in Paris for other sources of such rays that led him to the discovery of the radioactivity of uranium in 1896. These rays were in their turn soon found to be very much more penetrating than were the X-rays, and after the separation from uranium of radium and its concentration by Mme Curie in 1898 careful studies of these penetrating powers began to be made.
      It was in 1902 when Rutherford and Soddy succeeded in separating these rays into three groups, [which they named alpha, beta, and gamma rays]", etc.
(R.A. Millikan, Electrons, etc., Chicago, 1935, '47, p. 301).

Note   "I have to publish my present work as rapidly as possible in order to keep in the race. The best sprinters in this road of investigation are Becquerel and the Curies in Paris, who have done a great deal of very important work in the subject of radioactive bodies during the last few years."
(E. Rutherford, Montreal, 5 Jan. 1902 to his mother ; in A.S. Eve, Rutherford, New York and Cambridge (Eng.), 1939, pp. 80-81).

Note   "At the Brussels [Radiology] Congress [1910] it was agreed that the amount of radium emanation in equilibrium with one gramme of radium should be called one 'Curie', in honour of Madame." etc.
(A.S. Eve, Rutherford, p. 192).

Note   'Rutherford always felt the greatest admiration for the work of Mme Curie ... The courage of that frail woman, tackling with those tons of pitchblende single-handed, must always fill one with amazement. But Mme Curie was determined to get a pure source of radium and, in spite of the scepticism of many scientists as to the possibility, she persevered to a successful end. ...
      'In the charming life of Mme Curie by her daughter Eve, it is stated that her mother died of pernicious anaemia, the result of prolonged exposure to radiations from the elements with which her name will for all time be associated. Einstein has said, "Marie Curie is, of all celebrated beings, the only one whom fame has not corrupted." "She did not know how to be famous", writes Eve Curie.
      'Rutherford wrote an obituary notice in Nature (21 July 1934) and referred to her fundamental discoveries of polonium and radium, extracted from pitchblende, an ore which she found had more radioactivity than that due to the uranium it contained. There must be a new element there! Marie and Pierre Curie extracted first polonium and next radium, about three parts in ten million.
      'In 1904 a Nobel Prize had been divided between the Curies and Henri Becquerel, and in 1911 Mme Curie was again awarded a Nobel Prize for her purification of radium and the determination of its atomic weight.
      'Mme Curie (wrote Rutherford) retained her enthusiasm for science and scientific investigation thoughout her life. She was an indefatigable worker and was never happier than in discussing scientific problems with her friends.... Quiet, dignified and unassuming, she was held in high esteem and admiration by scientific men throughout the world, and was a welcome member of scientific conferences, in many of which she took an active part.... The many friends of Mme Curie throughout the world, who admired her not only for her scientific talents but also for her fine character and personality, lament the untimely removal of one who had made such great contributions to knowledge, and, through her discoveries, to the welfare of mankind.'
(A.S. Eve, Rutherford, pp. 387-8).

* Xavier Cyprien Godebski (1874-1937)

   
Note   "One of the closest of Ravel's enduring friendships was with the Godebskis, a Polish family living in Paris who were originally friends of Ravel's father. The family included: Cipa (Xavier Cyprien) Godebski (1874 - 1937)", etc.
( http://website.lineone.net/~jdspiers/godebski.htm  )

Caveat Emptor There seem to have several Cyprien (or Cyprian) Godebskis. Some of the data seen (by me today) in the Internet are contradictory, if not absurd. But, Professor, maybe this can be disentangled. (WPT).

This found at New York Public Library :
    * Godebski, Cypryan. Milostki ulanskie; komedyo-opera w 1 akcie. Posen, A. Cybulski, 1900. 46 (2), 31 p. 16mo.

Comment - question - what Godebski was that.

    * Godebski, Cyprian, 1765-1809. Title Poems. Selections Wybďż˝r wierszy. Opracowal Zbigniew Kubikowski. Wroclaw, Zaklad im. Ossolinskich [1956] Edition [Wyd. 1.] cxxiv, 152 p. illus. 18 cm. Series Biblioteka narodowa. Seria I, nr. 161 Bibliography: p. [cxxiii]-cxxiv. [UC ; NYPL. This could be authentic but it is unclear which C. Godebski it is ; I would guess the earlier one.]

This seems to be the wanted one :
    * Trois mďż˝lodies / Erik Satie. Music Pub. No. R.L. 10,170 & Cie. Rouart, Lerolle Paris : Rouart, Lerolle ; [vente exclusive] Editions Salabert, 1948, c1917. Description 1 score (3 v.) ; 35 cm. Cover title. For voice and piano. Contents [v. 1] La statue de bronze / paroles de Lďż˝on-Paul Fargue -- [v. 2] Daphďż˝nďż˝o / paroles de M. God. -- [v. 3] Le chapelier / paroles de Renďż˝EChalupt. Language French

Also given (by the UC) :
    Subject Fargue, Lďż˝on-Paul, 1876-1947 -- Musical settings. Godebski, M. -- Musical settings. Chalupt, Renďż˝E-- Musical settings. Songs (Medium voice) with piano. Added Entry Fargue, Lďż˝on-Paul, 1876-1947 Godebski, M. Chalupt, Renďż˝E Added Entry La statue de bronze Daphďż˝nďż˝o Le chapelier

So it seems that C. Godebski could have been the "M. God", author of the words of 'Dapheneo'. Did somebody skip a 'debski' after 'God' ?

Are these just mistakes, the reader ? You take a good look about them libraries first, then form some kind of opinion (please). (WPT).

Another "gem" :
    * Godebski, Cyprian, 1765-1809. Title Listy o sztuce, 1875-1876 / Cyprian Godebski ; opracowanie, wstęp i komentarz Macieja Masłowskiego. Edition Wyd. 1. Publisher Krakďż˝w : Wydawn. Literackie, 1970. Description lxix, 260 p. : port. ; 20 cm. Note Includes index. [UC]

— which says an author living in the years 1765-1809 had written 'letters about art' in the years 1876-76.

Just mistakes ? I don't know. Why so many, Professr ?

The one entry likely to be true is about Eric Satie, composer. What about the rest, Professor ? (WPT).

* Stefan Ossowiecki (1877-1944).

Note   ".. a letter was written in London, it was several times enclosed and sealed, and it was handed to Schrenck-Notzing by an Englishman who did not know its contents; it was then read correctly in Warsaw by Ossowiecki. The critierion of coincidence (see p. 16 above) was present, and the occurrence may thus in principle be regarded as supernormal; 'a wine bottle badly drawn at an angle in the left-hand bottom corner' is not a thing that could be guessed." etc.
(H. Driesch, Psychical Research, London : Bell, 1933, pp. 73-4).

On Analysing the Mental (Spiritual) Phenomena
(by me W. Paul Tabaka, April 2007).

      S. Ossowiecki had some uncommon abilities ; this by numerous reports of authors whose integrity would not seem to admit of question. (Although their statements of opinion could vary as to exactness).
      This article here is an attempt, not being presented as conclusive, at some observations which might open the door to more understanding.
      That some one or other was "a medium" seems faulty language, which I for one would discard. This 'medium' may be accurately said of someone who receives communications from others and relays them ; the term has been sometimes used of anything connected with the Psychic Research to the detriment sometimes of clear distinction.
      Descriptions such as 'paranormal' can be discarded, or at least used very discriminately, because these imply there being some 'norm' or 'norms' where there are no norms set by anybody (only, sometimes, some arbitrary opinions often by persons who have no idea whatever of what they are talking about). (One can speak of some approximate averages but a norm implies an exact criterion and there are no such 'norms' on the subjects of Man's psychical or spiritual abilities).
      To call all this 'parapsychical' seems superfluous ; the phenomena are psychic phenomena, so why place some non-existent division within the language which only multipies unnecessary 'entities'.

      The "experiments", also a term which might need some qualifications compared with the experiments on the lifeless material objects or experiments on the lower forms of life — various attempts or 'experiments' have been described. Some had asked, were all this true, what of it.
      This could not but be a valid question ; I would not propose that the extraordinary psychic abilities found with some individuals are necessarily important, except when theories could be derived from them capable of universal application.

      Of some arguments in favour of the Psychic Research it can be observed that certain associated issues could be approached entirely independently — and do not necessarily imply one another. Roughly, these issues are :

    a) The facts of the immaterial (spiritual) nature of Life, as evidenced by the Man's progress of attainment ;
    b) The theories of Man's immortality ;
    c) The beliefs in God or a Deity of some description (usually vague).

      M. Voltaire with his necessity of inventing God did not quite get the problem. One could rather observe, if God had existed, it would not have been necessary to prove it.
      The preceding is not an argument against anything in particular. There may be God or something ; should somebody tell me, for example, that she believes in "something higher" — I, too, believe in "something higher" ; and the discourse might proceed unimpeded by weighty questions on such subjects.

    Theories of human immortality can be considered without entering onto questions about God or a Deity. I have found the term theories most applicable ; To some persons this may be a matter of fact, a personal knowledge. The publicity of science requires somewhat different criteria (this should not be a priori considered unattainable ; on might not necessarily crave personal immortality but any reasons for or against any such propositions should be, if one want, considered carefully, and many an Authority on such subjects there have been who could not be found entirely dependable).

      In speaking about the facts of the immaterial or incorporeal (spiritual) nature of Life I do mean facts such as are observed ; Example : this (corporeal) computer terminal here is a hard fact, not even to be denied by a 'philosopher' (nor would this be denied by Bishop Berkeley whose writings have been often misunderstood).
      But the presence of other human being around here, on the library floor, is not any less a number of facts which I can observe (not even adducing, a la Descartes, the fact of my own existence here).
    What those other human being round me do at the moment is also a number of facts ('deeds', in English). These can be explained as having been motivated by immaterial (incorporeal) principles, or substances or entities (by the more recent scientific researchers compared rather to 'fields' than to any other physical concepts).
      This is not a matter of belief ; the actions by the humans are plainly observable ; (while my computer terminal would do exactly nothing by itself, unless set on some course by a human being). The immaterialist theory of Life actions only requires a simple language which can be understood of a child, by the way.
    (Any 'materialist' theories had not produced any answers to the phenomena of Life. The only "conclusions" you can find in such 'theories', whether produced by some deluded fools or by dishonest writers, is, this all "cannot be understood".
      The latter item is no knowledge, by any sense of the term knowledge. If you cannot understand it, why write about it — and defraud the public by calling it "science". This might be remarked in passing.)

      Not to enlarge beyond necessity on a 'subject', I would offer that the three-item differention as above seems (at least potentially) true and possibly of great benefit towards general understanding. It is non-elementalistic (in the korzybskian sense), since any one of the three modes of consideration can be applied by or to any individual.
      These and any such statements can usually be improved upon ; the fundamental issues ought to be capable of exact representations and anything other than that should not be presented by anyone to anyone as 'science' or 'religion' nor even a poetry. — (WPT).

Note   "[The] two-valued system of symbols was unequal to the complexities of science, and further values had to be introduced. ... it becomes clear that the notions of absolute truth and absolute error are rendered otiose and may be scrapped ...
      "In view ot this admission it is difficul to see how there can be a scientific future, either for the two-valued logics, which operate merely with the values true and falso, or for the multi-valued varieties so ingeniously constructed by Professor Lukasiewicz and the other Polish followers ... If the truth-values occurring in the sciences are essentially probabilitities, the only logical symbolism that can possibly be adequate for scientific purposes will have to be one in which the values vary continuously between the two limits of truth and falsity, etc."

Also reproduced in the Collected Writings. This has been also reportedly translated into the French by Pierre Klossowski (but I do not know anything about the fate of that translation). Please note this carefully, especially any reader with some interests in the things French for the ramifications are manifold. (See Pierre Klossowski below).
Note  On the fields of 'psychology' or psychiatry corruption is presently rampant in the USA, certainly so in some other countries, possibly so in many other countries.. You have been warned, the reader ; this is not only foolish writers publishing texts on subjects which they, by their own statements, do not understand. These areas have been seriously infested by persons with 'devious political aims' (as a writer-psychiatrist from Holland noticed in the early 1950's).
    All of this psychiatrification is entirely absent in the first published work by Korzybski, Manhood of Humanity ; in several of his early papers. Some of his later papers are dedicated to the subject. Some sharp criticism can be found therein, beside his hopes that the psychiatrists could get their discipline together and help — which they did not, by an large. If you pay a close attention to what exactly A.K. had been pointing out and compare it with the state of the mental health today you can easily see what kind of 'progress' we have got.

He had some modest success for a time with some workers — but his optimistic visions have not come true. One factor which certainly has been working against him, especially after his departing in 1950, was people who would use these issues to some 'devious political aims' (J. Meerloo, 1952)..
      K. argued a 'theory of sanity' — and he had a rudimentary fundamental theory of sanity. Will you ask any psychiatrist to-day (2006) about his theory of sanity ? (supposing you were sure nobody would lock you up in such a circumstance ; which is part of the problem). I would be very curious about any replies to such a question.
    He certainly was not a psychiatrist (contrary to what one lying article I have seen on-line claimed ; a veritable symptom of the overall state of the public mental health to-day). These connections were not fundamental in his work, and if considered as fundamental, he was aiming at sanity (and not at multiplication of 'mental disorders').
    'The Role of Language etc.' (1950) has little in it of that problem. By comparing this work, the last one by K., with his earlier and even the earliest ones, you can relatively easily distinguish what he really intended, what his actual (no less extensive than unrecognised) influence was and what use could be made of his work today.

[Comment : Professor, this cannot be 'not my subject', at least not by anyone in Poland, also some Englishmen and some Scots having been apparently involved. There are some contemporary (1941) matters touched upon in this text which can be normally disregarded today (except by the professional historian — or, by some troublemakers, Professor — and that is why this cannot be 'not my subject'). A copy of this text which I have seen with my own eyes is presently missing in the Los Angeles Public Library (this written in June 07 ; noticed a few months before). This is not the only one instance of a text which should be there not being there, Professor ; and these do tend to form patterns, which could only go unnoticed by some entirely unseeing persons ; who might be extremely busy with some cobwebs at some time or other, Professor, but they perhaps should not. This had better be noticed. — (WPT]

* Stanisław Lesniewski (1886-1939).

Note "It is sometimes said, particularly by logicians of the schools of Lesniewski and Lukasiewicz, that if the law of extensionality is abandoned we must admit that some propositions are neither true nor false," etc.
(A.N. Prior, Objects of Thought, Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1971, p. 49).

Comment I am not yet informed quite enough on how to abandon the law of extensionality. (A joke).
      So far as I have learned by my own reading (sans university professors), the extensional definition of a term (or terms) consists of the object or objects that the term or terms stand for.
      This I have got from Korzybski who had got the exact definitions from Jevons. This is just good enough for me ; and it seems this should suffice anybody (except some of the 'philosophers' for whom this might be too simple).
      Reams of "extensional logic" have been published which were not extensional logic at all but speaking about 'extensional' logic, in circle, or say, which were pure intension and just the converse what some truly extensional logic might be.
      The terms, 'intension' and 'extension' have a long tradition ; while the Schoolmen may have been not terribly "extensional", they yet had workable definitions ; there is no reason whatever that the sane logic of the earlier days should be supplanted by somebody's cobweb (which seems also to have been practiced by the marxist-leninist "no conspiracy")

Question   (to the expert, if any).
    * Louise Labé : étude littérature / Stanislaw Piotr Koczorowski. Paris : E. Champion, 1925. 56 p. [UC ; not at NYPL]

Is that authentic. "A 2006 book by Mireille Huchon, Louise Lab? une cr閍ture de papier (Droz), makes a strong case that Louise Lab?did not exist, and that her works were the creation of a group of poets, etc" (Internet).
      I admit that from the outset I was not sure about the text (as above) attributed to S. P. Koczorowski ; for it does not seem much to belong with his vein. The notion that the person considered was a fabulous one certainly does not corroborate the idea of Koczorowski's having "her" for a subject-matter. Please enlighten me, etc., who can.
      Please mind, the expert (if any) that if the text (as above) be not authentic, it may contain anything in the character of "monkey wrenches" (thrown in by some 'intellectuals').
      "Sorry" I do not know ; "sorry" for possible false alarms ; but you just look (the expert) around and see what "literature" can be happened on in the halls of "learning". (WPT).

(London was informed of this discovery on June 12, 1944 in message No. 366/1176.) At the same time, G[roszkowski] tested the A4's radio system, learning that the missile received signals on a frequency of about 20,5 megacycles and transmitted at approximately 40 megacycles."

http://library.syr.edu/digital/guides/l/landau_r.htm The Expert : notice the appearance of a Roman Ryszard Landau ; nay, also of a "Ron Landau", in the library catalogues [UC]. These seem unlikely to have been one person ; beware of unusual multiplication of authors, Professor ; such things have been happening — if you prefer not to be led astray together with your students etc. (WPT).

* Józef Bocheński (1902-1995). Logician, mathematician, author of numerous texts on these subjects ;

Mark Very Well, Professor.

      The texts by this author had mysteriously disappeared from the Los Angeles Public Library ; also from other libraries in the Los Angeles area (by my examination ; I'm not infallible but I could hardly been mistaken on an recollection of having some of those texts to my own hand several years ago.
      If I be in any way mistaken, there is still no reason the texts by this author should not be found in any of the libraries considered.) The only title by J. Bochenski I had recently (Spring 2007) found was a translation into the Persian, listed in the Beverly Hills library.
      Is not that strange, Professor ? Please examine the area on your own ; and please do not overlook this one ; because, why should the reputed "enclave of the rich" (in Beverly Hills) be treated with Persian translations from this author — while the poor in the downtown Los Angeles have been deprived of the English versions ? and everybody had been deprived of these works with the exception of any Persian-speaking persons in Beverly Hills ?
      The works by Bochenski on logic have been often used and mentioned by other authors ; this being evidence of the influence which could have have occurred without there having been much merit to them. Why did these work disappear from the libraries in and round Los Angeles, Professor ?

      Mark Well : What that listed translation into the Persian might actually contain is also something of the question. Professor. Where it might have been distributed is still another question.
      Please do note, Professor, some murderous newspapermen's texts about Iran to-day, any day in 2007 — in the context of the Persian language. What is all this to portend, Professor ? (WPT, May 07, rev. July 07).

(Mark Well, the reader. 'Arianskie', or 'the Arian' meant actually the Socinian called also Unitarian ; the former term usually found in the Polish literature, initially by writers hostile to the Socinianian/Unitarians, eventually by any writers (term, which is actually incorrect, has been fixed by usage). The discrepancy of nomeclature should not obscure such facts as, one is dealing with one trend which had (with significant Italian influence) started in Poland and Transylvania, then extended from Poland to Holland, England, and the USA as witnessed by J. Priestley, T. Jefferson, J. Madison etc. etc. — (WPT).

Note   The liason between the Poles and the French ... Bureau in the years before the war was excellent. Here the key figure was General Gustave Bertrand, then a major... He had ... the advantage of a defector from ... the cipher room at the German Defense Ministry ... who motive was ... money ... who was able to supply a number of valuable documents; among them were the servicing instructions and manuals for the machines, and table showing the changes of key... When, in 1934, this useful agent lost his job, Bertrand knew a good deal about Engima... ...in September 1938 the Nazis modified the system by introducing interchangeable rotors.
      In January 1939 [sic, apparently 1938] Major Bertrand aranged for a group of British technicians to visit Paris... But while the [British] Department of Communications were still considering it the Poles succeeded in reconstructing the current Enigma...
      In July 1939 an invitation arrived to a conference, this time not in Paris, but in Poland...
      Dilly [Alfred Dillwyn Knox] had been working for the past twelve months on the problem of the sequence of letters on the Enigma keyboard. Now he was told what it was. It was ABCDEF....
      Dilly ... was furious ... not because he had failed to solve it, but because it was too easy." etc.
(P. Fitzgerald, The Knox brothers, etc., London : Macmillan, 1977).

Note   The German cipher was based on a machine called Enigma, which was built in Germany for this purpose in 1928 ...
      ... In the Second Bureau (Intelligence) of the Polish General Staff there was a Cipher Department [Biuro Szyfrow] with a section for German codes (B.S.4). The head of the section was Lieutenant-Colonel Gwido Langer and in it worked three eminent mathematicians and cryptologists: Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Rozycki and Henryk Zygalski. To them, in 1932, was entrusted the task of breaking Enigma.
      The Polish Intelligence ... maintained constant contact with ... Captain Gustave Bertrand. From 1932 the French had had a valuable informant in Germany with the code-name Asché,³⁴ who worked in the cipher section of the Reichswehr. Thanks to the jointly-gathered information and to the possession of an Enigma machine used in industry (much less complicated, but still useful), it was possible to reconstruct in Warsaw an Enigma of the military type. This was largely the achievement of the three cryptologists who, at the end of 1937 and the beginning of 1938 ... uncovered the secret of the German machine.³⁵
      This was of the greatest value from both the technical and the military point of view .... It is ... worth quoting the words of Gustave Bertrand on the breaking of the code"

'. . . This made it possible to give such information of the enemy, of such range and of such quality, as had never been put at the disposal of the General Staff by its Second bureau . . .
      Where the Polish cryptologists are concerned, to them alone belongs all the merit and all the praise . . .  They have overcome difficulties which the Germans considered impossible to overcome.'³⁶

The American Reader :

      A movie has been produced in this country, misrepresenting the story of Enigma, based on a script containing false data by a criminal writer.
      I am not in a position to teach 'the American values' to anybody ; but, please, tell me, if that be the present-day American values then I should promptly revise my views on the world and would try some other ways of living — without any such values.
      I do hope those are not the American values, after all — (not yet, anyhow, provided the people be not blind to such phenomena as false movies having been pushed on the (usually unsuspecting) public).
      The one-time (minor) problem was, the public had been defrauded of the money paid for the tickets to the movie ; a class-action suit might be a logical proposition (but I for one am presently rather busy with this page). The potetntially indefinitely broad problem might be of the people having been given 'false knowledge', on matters of considerable historic importance.
      That fact alone, that a movie had been made based on this story, could suffice as a proof of the significance of said story. Were it not distorted, there would be little use to re-producing the detail. One can live without the praise for somebody's achievement ; but one cannot live with falsehoods circulating in any society, not for very long.
      "I have been duped", wrote the psychiatrist Coleman (The Reign of Error) ; one author who had the guts to face what kind of "knowledge" he had initially got, and to admit it. This may be not always easy, Professor ; but please look and see (before your own work be tampered with, Professor). — WPT, May 07.

On the Origin of the Term 'Bomba'
( by me WPT, June 07).

      I noticed some 'discussion' : a component of the reconstructed Enigma machine was called 'bomba' by M. Rejewski ; and it seems this is the entirety of knowledge on this topic. The thing in question was a sort of mechanical computer. Together with the machine the term had been received by the researchers in the Bletchley Park in England and was eventually applied to later devices of similar functions which were however electronic and were the forerunners to the present day computer.

Note Professor Michael [presumably M.R.D.] Foot ... : "All of us have several reasons for being grateful to Josef Garlinski. He has been a model Polish patriot, striving for life to be lived to the full in a free society.

�While Poland was in the grip of the Soviet system, he worked to help Poles in exile to settle in west London; and then embarked on his last career, as an historian.

"He has described survival in the Nazi�s concentration camps, explained to the recently liberated Poles what was happening during the war against Hitler, and his son became a master at Eton - a symbol of the integration of Poles in exile into the British community."

[Comment this might be part antiquated ; and, there should be nothing wrong with an idea of peaceful unification provided that no more people be slaughtered in the consequences for the sake of somebody's "ideology". That has been the tradition of the marxist-leninist "peace" proposals and there had been no exceptions. The present-day mainland China is probably not "the same" as the old Bolshevik, a point which may be worthy of consideration ; but there are many questions which remain unresolved to-day, including the massive Red propaganda, whether in China or in the West, this legacy having been of the masters of deceit at work. None had been immune to this, so far as I am finding out from the literature. The Fate of Humanity may be all in your hands, Professor. — (WPT).

The Most Serious Matter, the expert, if there are any out there who are not purblind.

This item did not show at amazon.com today, 21 Jan 07. If it be so rare, please make sure, the expert (if there be any who are not purblind) that it does not get "lost" altogether — at least not until the problem apparent with it get solved (and, I suppose, a revised edition free from irregularities and impositions be put out).

The probable cause of the non-appearance of the title : some spurious material had been planted on the (unwary) author/editors of that volume by a Red ('socialist') Bolshevik mole from Bryn Mawr in the USA. From all the circumstantial evidence, that is what somebody (or some body) does not want to be discovered.

At the end of the volume is a (then new) "story" — about a 3-valued logic created somewhere in Russia half the century before, by a previously unheard of author, this based chiefly on another previously unheard of author, one "Antoni K.".

That is being described as an attempt at revising the history (and this is probably the only true statement within the body of that text). Follows an attempt by me to indicate the most probably true facts of the matter ("in the rough").

Whether the mentioned "Antoni K." had ever existed seems open to the question ; there may have been some such one who acted a sort of figurehead.

At an earlier date defrauded (duped) was a respectable author in the USA, Alonzo Church. Please make sure to examine this matter, the expert.

Some alleged evidence had been said to have been published in an Italian publication, in the early 1920's — but, said the writer from Bryn Mawr, the English was "so garbled, etc." that this new logic went unnoticed.

All those data are contained in a lengthy footnote, spread about the most parts of the two first pages of that paper. I suspect that the author(s) of the fraud had hoped that nobody would take the trouble to read the footnote, and on that count they seem not to have been mistaken.

But one wonders : why should a scientific article about (an alleged) Russian logic be published in Italy in English which was too garbled for that logic to have been noticed ?

Couldn't they in Italy publish something non-garbled in some other language, for example in Italian ?

The story of that publication in Italy the early 1920's was either "made of the whole cloth" — on the assumption that nobody would bother anyway, to check out a "garbled" account in English of a Russian logic published in Italy the early 1920's ; and they probably do not know English in Italy anyway — (or, some fabrications could have been produced and may be extant).

The alleged creator of said new logic had, from all appearances, never existed. Some titles found in the US library catalogues attributed to this alleged author are most probable fabrications. How come this material was entirely unknown for half a century, and can be presently found in an American library, dated as published half the century before it had been noticed ? ) Please make sure to examine this matter carefully, the expert.

A question : since when those text of that "Russian logic" could be found in the American libraries. In other words, had that logic been indeed published circa 1910 or so, that would have been more or less the time the copies of the publications should have appeared in the USA, or a few years later at the most. Were it so : why should it remain unnoticed until the 1960's (except in an alleged "garbled" version in Italy and in some publications which were virtually unknown to any competent writers on logic until the time of the article by the writer from Bryn Mawr ?).

Do not disregard this one, the expert (this time), please. WPT.

HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROCKET TECHNOLOGY
AND ASTRONAUTICS IN POLAND

      The development of rocket technology in Poland is several centuries old. It seems very likely that the first utilization of rocket weapons in Europe took place on Polish soil during the Tartar attack in the 13th century. The Polish historian John Dlugosz, who described the course of the decisive battle of Legnica (1241) in his chronicles, stated in the narrative that the Tartars carried a dragon head that spewed smoke and fire at the Polish knights, rendering the incapable of continuing the battle. In a monastery near the battle field of Legnica, there is a painting which accurately depicts the Tartars' dragon head as described by Dlugosz.
      Walenty Sebisch (1577-1657) [who see] also left behind many drawings and notes pertaining to rocket fabrication and use. ... Other writers on rockets in Poland were Marcin Bielski in 1569, an anonymous writer in 1623, and del Aqua in 1637, a Venetian in Polish service. In 1643 a Polish translation of a book written on rocket construction by a Spaniard, Diego Uffano, appeared.
      One of the principal contributions to the development of the art of rocket construction in Poland, indeed, of the whole of Europe at that time, was the work of Casimir Siemienowicz who .. was probably the first to propose a three-stage rocket, consisting of three nested casing, each ejected in sequence after the fuel had burned. [see Siemienowicz].
      In the Warsaw Arsenal at the beginning of the 19th century, Josef Bem, a captain in the Royal Artillery, built rockets for use by the troops of the Polish Kingdom. His report on the construction, machinery, and solid propellants appeared in 1820 in French and German. In his report, Bem also described a rocket attack by the English fleet against the city of Gdansk in 1813. A few years later, in the battle of Grochow (February 25, 1831), rocket launchers were successfully employed by the Polish revolutionary Chief of Staff, General Pradzynski, against an advance of the Russian cavalry. He described it some years later in his Memoirs.
      The .. development of science and technology at the end of the 19th century also contributed to the development of the theoretical foundations of space flight, indicating the possibility of using rockets for this purpose. Mieczyslaw Wolfke was one of the first to concern himself with this subject in Poland. [see Mieczyslaw Wolfke (1883-1947)] In 1913, Franciszek Abdan [Abdank?] Ulinski dealt with the topic of rocket flights, and his article on using electrically charged particles to propel the rockets appeared in the Viennese magazine Der Flug in 1920. The electrically charged particles serve as the ejected mass, thus propelling the rocket which Ulinski called a "cathode rocket". He envisioned solar radiation as the energy source, using thermoelectric batteries. Present-day ion thrusters are in a certain sense the implementation of Ulinski's ideas.
      In 1932-1933 Arv [i.e. Ary] Szternfeld, a young and as yet unknown researcher born in Sieradz near Lodz, in Poland, wrote his Introduction to Cosmonautics for which he was later honored by the French Astronomical Society. [see Ary Szternfeld (b. 1905)]
      In the 1930's Casimir Zarankiewicz, later a professor of mathematics and mechanics at the Polytechnic Institute in Warsaw and the first President of the Polish Astronautical Society, dealt with question of rocket fights in the atmosphere of the Earth and in outer space. [The] realization of rocket flights seemed a long way off at that time ... However, .. scientific magazines as well as popular weeklies revealed new information on this topic from time to time. As an example, in December 1928 the weekly magazine Tecza published an exhaustive article on the future and reality of space flights, based o the works of Esnault Pelterie and the experiments of Opel.

[ by W. Geisler, 1971].

Note   "Dr. Wladyslaw Geisler recently wrote a book entitled, Earth's Artificial Satellites, one of the most competent works on the subject."
(A.G. Haley, Rocketry and Space Exploration, Washington : NASA, etc., 1958, p. 288). Note   "Polskie Towarzystwo Astronautyczne .. affiliated with the Polish Academy of Sciences. The affairs of the Society are managed by Professor K. Zarankiewicz and by Olgierd S. Wolczek—both devoted scientists with deep knowledge of the problems of space flight. The Society has well in excess of 100 members. Dr. Wladyslaw Geisler recently wrote a book entitled, Earth's Artificial Satellites, one of the most competent works on the subject. Delegates from the PTA have been present at several Congresses, including Rome, Barcelona and Amsterdam, and they have delivered highly commendable lectures.
      Professors Jerzy H. Teisseyre, Z. Paczkowski, H. Muster, F. Misztel, M. Lunc and many others have earned the high respect of the astronautics communities throughout the world by their competence in the field.

.. He was related to the Czech Premyslid family and the Emperor Otto II from the Saxon dynasty. He was brought up in Germany ... in 983 he became the bishop of Prague. ... Due to conflicts in Bohemia he was forced to leave his diocese twice and go to Italy. He played an important role in Hungary, (later on worshipped as Bela) where he stayed several times at the court of Duke Geza. He baptized and confirmed the duke's son, Vajka, who during his christening took the name Istv�n, and later, in 1000, was crowned the first king of Hungary. After his death he became a saint, and is now known around the world as Saint Stephen. Adalbert ... also undertook the mission of going to the emperor's court to sue for the hand of the German princess Giselle on behalf of Istv�n.
      In 997, based on an agreement with the Polish King Boleslaus the Brave (Boleslaw Chrobry) and the emperor Otto III, he went to Poland to undertake a mission to Christianize the Prussians. In the same year he died the death of a martyr. His remains were buried in Gniezno, which in 1000 became the seat of a new archbishopric. ...
(abridged, source : http://www.visegradgroup.eu/main.php ). Note .. Boleslaw Chrobry .. approached [the] problem [of 'conversion of the pagan Baltic tribes of Lithuania and old Prussia[] as early as 997, when he assisted the former bishop of Prague, the famous Adalbert, in his venture as a missionary to the Prussians. Soon after leaving Danzig, a place which at that date appears for the first time under its old Slavonic name of "Gyddanyzc" and under Polish control, Adalbert was killed by the heathens ...
      ..Otto III .., inspired .. by his special devotion to St. Adalbert whom he had met in Rome in connection with an ecclesiastical reform movement, decided to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of the martyr whose body had been ransomed [from the heathens?] by Bolesław and buried in Gniezno, Poland's first capital. Just before Easter time in 1000 .. the Emperor .. accompanied by representatives of Pope Sylvester II [etc], was received by Bolesław at the frontier of Poland and led to Gniezno amidst ceremonies which the German witness called "indescribable and incredible." After having walked barefoot to the sepulcher of their common friend .. Otto III discussed with Bolesław .. their mutual relations. ...
      One of the issues decided ... With the Pope's assent, Poland, where hitherto there had been only one bishopric (founded at Poznan soon after Mieszko's conversion), now became an independent ecclesiastical province with an archbishop in Gniezno. The first archbishop nominated under the new arrangement was a brother of St. Adalbert, and he had three new bishops under his authority: at Kraków, whither the political capital was to be transferred in the same century, at Wrocław (Breslau) in the province of Silesia, and at Kołobrzeg (Kolberg) in Polish Pomerania, on the Baltic Sea.

From The Civilisation at Bay by V.L. Borin :

[quoting Lenin] ďż˝We supposed that it would be possible to change the old Russian economy into a State economy on a communist base. Unfortunately we made a great mistake in trying to do this. . . .  Being so uncultured as we are, we cannot destroy capitalism⁺ by one attack. . . .  In the civil war we were able to win because we established in the army the severest discipline. We have yet to establish the must brutal discipline in our working army in order to secure our country, our republic. . . .ďż˝

From The Civilisation at Bay by V.L. Borin :

�In this language, Totalitarian state capitalism would be called Communism. The dictatorship of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party would be named the dictatorship of the proletariat. The prosperity of the new governing class would be known as the prosperity of the working people. [...] Marxism in Russia meant Political Bureau and State Police. Anybody who thought otherwise must die.�

( http://search.barnesandnoble.com ) Betrayed (now available through 1stBooks Library) by Joseph Douglass brings to light Communist atrocities and intelligence operations and capabilities still hidden in top secret safes. Drawing heavily on the testimony of former top Communist officials, Betrayed is a unique and timely effort to expose particularly heinous secrets of Communism. Armed with data uncovered by dozens of researchers, Douglass shows how US officials abandoned over 30,000 American POWs (prisoners of war) and MIAs (missing in action) to Communist regimes after World War II and during the Vietnam, Korean and the Cold wars. Douglass thoroughly examines what the US government knew. He identifies the officials who decided to abandon the captives and details the subsequent efforts to hide information and cover-up what happened. Douglass' investigation was inspired by the congressional testimony of Czech general major Jan Sejna, who defected to the US in 1968. Sejna revealed that thousands of American prisoners captured by Communists were used as human guinea pigs in ghastly medical experiments, mostly terminal, using atomic radiation and chemical and biological warfare agents. Sejna helped design, coordinate, and monitor the operation that used American POW/MIAs in experiments when he was a member of the Czech Communist government�� decision-making hierarchy. Betrayed also reveals how and why Sejna�� reputation and credibility were viciously attacked behind his back in an effort to undermine what he had to say. Joseph D. Douglass, Jr., Ph.D., has worked in the national security field for over 35 years.

* Pavel Josef Šafárik (1795-1861).

* Theodor Leschetitzky (1830 - 1915).   The piano teacher of I. J. Paderewski, Paul Wittgenstein, etc., etc.

Note   "How rarely has any teacher since Czerny (who was his own master) formed so many celebrated pupils as my old master Leschetizky !" etc.
(P. Wittgenstein, 'The Legacy of Leschetizky', Musical Courier, New York, August 1945, page 13).

Note   "At Leschetitzky's I established contact for the first time with an international crowd. He had pupils from countries all over the world, the majority from the United States. Paderewski had been one of his pupils. ... [He] was such a sensation, such a hero in the States, that American students flocked to Leschetiztky."
(A. Schnabel, My Life and Music, New York : St Martin's Press, 1963, p. 11.)

Note He, so far as I know, was born and raised in Poland, to a Slovak father and a Polish woman (she of remote German ancestry).

His birth certificate would have presumably stated, Leszetycki. He had lived and taught in Vienna, hence the germanised form of the name which would be considered correct insofar as it had been used by himself. Often (or usually) considered as a Pole, he may have been more of a cosmopolitan type.

* Stefan Osusky (1889-?).   Diplomat, author, The way of the free (New York : Dutton 1951), other works ; friend, even something of a mentor, of William C. Bullitt in the USA. He also spoke fluent Hungarian.

William C. Bullit, Paris, Sept 16, 1939,
To Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Dear Mr. President:
      ... the Czech Minister in Paris, Osusky, was for seventeen years an American citizen, a highly successful lawyer in Chicago, and during the war, one of my hired men when I was running the information on the enemy in the State Department. Indeed, the reputation I then acquired as a prophet was largely due to my use of Osusky's brains.
      Our Military Attache in Prague used to say that all Czechs could be divided into two classes; 1. Masaryk, 2. Just Czechs. Osusky has the advantage of being a Slovak!
      Good luck.

William C. Bullitt.

Caveat Emptor

The copy I have seen in the Los Angeles Public Library looks unreliable. From the beginning to the page 56 (inclusive) the paper looks almost new — unlike the rest of the volume.
      The title page bears a stamp, "FEB 14 2004" ; how come a book publised, according the the preface, in or circa 1953, arrived at the Los Angeles Public Library in 2004 ?
      That might be quite possible after all ; but the title page or the verso bear no publication date whatever ; one does not suppose that professional historians are ignorant of the importance of such details.
      Whatever your 'subject', Professor, it is endangered by such phenomena. Any subject whatever, Professor ; be not blind if you can at all, to these issues. — (WPT).

Note When Charles [XII of Sweden] was at Mogilev, an embassy arrived at his headquarters from Ivan Stephanovich Mazeppa,¹, Hetman of the Ukraine, with a proposal that, if Charles would take the Ukraine under his protection, Mazeppa would support him with a force of 30,000 Cossacks.² Though, at the time, the Ukraine nominally belonged to Poland and Russia, to all intents and purposes it was independent, and in the past had often been the determining factor in the wars between Russians, Poles, and Tartars. Mazeppa had rendered signal service to Peter [of Muscovy] during his Turkish war, and had since been befriended by him ; but frightened by his reforms and afraid that they would lead to the loss of his independence, when Charles appeared on the scene he decided to throw in his lot with the Sweden. [etc]

    ¹ He was the natural son of a Polish nobleman, and in his youth, when a page at the court of John Casimir, King of Poland, for seducing the Queen he was bound naked on a horse and let loose upon the Ukrainian steppes. Rescued by Cossacks, in 1687 he was elected their Hetman (Hauptmann or Headman).

* Martha Boretski (fl. circa 1450 ff.).

* M. Żwirko-Goditsky (fl. ca. 1919).

Note   "David Hunter Millerďż˝s Diary, Volume XVIII, contains the files of the Bulletin of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, as a continuation and completion of these bulletins commented on in Volume XVII. The files were collected by Miller. Bulletin No. 270 (May 14, 1919) contains: (i) White Ruthenian Request for Annexation to Poland, transmitted by the Polish Delegation, (ii) Telegram from the Walloons and Dinant, Belgium. "

Comment the conditions being somewhat different in 2007, I for one do not propose that Byelorussia should be annexed to Poland. That such a proposal had been made in 1919 is, it seems, significant, reasons stated (if imperfectly) below.

Pilsudski wanted for Poland to take back what had been taken from her (as the widow wrote in her Pilsudski). This is as plain a statement as it can get on such issues — and this does not involve anybody's aggrandisement.

One question loomed large : were the eastern borders of Poland to be considered as borders between Poland and (some form of) Russia (with no independent Ukraine or independent White Ruthenia, etc). ; or were these to be the borders between Poland and an independent Ukraine and independent White Ruthenia, etc.

There had been a 'line' proposed by General Smuts from South Africa (why exactly a South African General was to decide on such issues I am not sure ; it seems he was a sort of dilettante historian, not necessarily in a disparaging sense). The 'line' demarked the indisputably Polish territories towards the East ; which it no doubt did — the further West the more indisputably Polish these parts were.

(It can be remarked that by some such criteria the indisputably German territories would extend as far East as the Elbe River, and no further ; but the analogy may be not exact).

The 'line' had originally nothing to do with Lord Curzon (his name had been later pinned to it by M. Lloyd George — perhaps merely to make the issue more involved, for M. Lloyd George had some politicks of his own to take care of).

If the 'line' may have been somewhat true about the borders between Poland and some forms of independent Ukraine and independent White Ruthenia, etc. — it certainly was not anywhere nearly true of the (then putative) borders between Poland and Russia — with no independent states considered between the two.

This distinction has not been pointed out by any authors I have seen ; the difference yet is quite exact and of no negligible magnitude.

In 1919, what courses were possible by the White Ruthenians (Byelorussians) — ?

By plain reasoning the choices then were either :

a) a union or some form of confederation with Poland (etc)., or,

b) an entirely independent White Ruthenian (Byelorussian) state, or,

c) to get involved in Russia's fall.

Now, this might look peculiar, somebody's idea to be annexed by somebody, as per the documents considered. The brute facts of the matter were, the (b), as above, an entirely independent White Ruthenian (Byelorussian) state in 1919 was a matter rather fit for prayers than a viable course of action.

Then, there may be little wonder that some people in the White Ruthenia did not want the (c), i.e. to 'get involved in Russia's fall' — if you read the true accounts of the events in the area of those times.

One notes that an idea of some form of confederation of the Slav states was just what Pilsudski had been proposing ; (in spite of the five wars then going on in the area).

All this puts to lie anybody's propaganda about somebody's "imperialism", such having been then often promulgated, notably in England — especially by the agents of the criminal Bolsheviks.

The had been a veritable imperialism present, that of the Bolsheviks — any person who is not illiterate might read about the plainly proclaimed by M. Tukchachevsky 'march beyond Vistula' ; towads, mind you, the reader, the Seine.

There had been an imperialism present indeed ; compare : "You are raping me, said the rapist to his victim" (the 'marxist theory of truth') —

On Boguslawski and the Byelorussian Language
( by me WPT, July 07 )

I have been informed that a Polish scholar by the name of Boguslawski had a hand in condifying the Byelorussian language. Since the area and its events have been subject to massive propaganda (Tsarist, Bolshevik, etc.), there may be little surprise to want of generally available information. I find this on-line :

Note   "In 1828-29 Chamier was in Moscow, and met Mickiewicz personally at one of the Wednesday receptions of Princess Zeneida Volkonskaya. He could not fail to see how highly Mickiewicz was regarded, nor could he escape himself falling under the poet's spell.

As for Mickiewicz's writings, Chamier met these through Caroline Jaenisch. Finding the visiting Englishman at loose ends on one of these Wednesdays at Volkonskaya's, this friend and admirer of Mickiewicz proceeded to entertain him with a rendering of Wallenrod in French on which she was working.

At first sight of the manuscript of this, which was enormous, - like " those awful volumes one sees in Drummond's bank, " - Chamier tried to shy away, but when Caroline assured him she only wished to have him hear " the most beautiful song in the world, " as she said, he did not resist, and soon was listening with pleasure to the lyric " Wilia, " from the first canto of Wallenrod.

Later Chamier was introduced also to the ballad " Alpuhara " from the same work, and both poems he was persuaded to translate. As he was writing an article for the London New Monthly, Chamier included the two poems, along with a short estimate, as we have seen, of their author. This was the first comment on Mickiewicz in an English journal, so far as we have been able to find out. The translations also were " firsts. " (M.M. Coleman, 1954, pp 1-2.)

Some Notes on Sergei Gennadievich Nechaev (1847-1882)

".. Nechayev, the 19th-century Russian who carried the logic of revolution to its limit, teaching (Lenin, among others) that murder, kidnapping, arson, robbery and blackmail, all crimes, are justified if they serve the socialist cause. ... Nechayev ... served Dostoievsky as the terrible prototype of Pyotr Stepanovitch Veshkovensky in The Possessed."

"His last name derives from the word chaika, .. meaning seagull in a number of Slavic languages. His family origins may not have been entirely Russian. In an early letter to Nadezhda von Meck, Tchaikovsky wrote that his name was Polish and his ancestors were "probably Polish." (In fact, the Polish equivalent of his name, Czajkowski, is a not uncommon Polish surname.) [internet]

* Peter Struve (1870-1944).

On the Russian/Polish/German Relations

      I find Peter Struve who wrote in Russian. I have also noticed a Henryk Struve who wrote in Polish ; then there have been a number of Struves who wrote in German.
      There might be something to this in the way of solutions, the scholar (if any who are not below par, so to speak). I have frankly no intention of minding anybody's family or the like but there may have been something to this one ; so, somewhat reluctantly I would propose this to the attention of the scholar (if any who are not presently busy with some cobwebs or the like).
      One notes that there presently is, it seems, the first time ever there having been some kind of free Russia ; at least so it seems according to the press reports and to some vague understanding one can form of the events after circa 1990.
      One can also observe that "the West" so-called may be entirely unprepared to such an idea. The truth told, one may have no faintest idea what can be actually going on within Russia to-day ; but one can at least insist on some possibilities which the new situation seems to present. The USSR is "officially" no more ; the plague started by that outfit may be as present as ever abroad, but one can point it out the any Russian leaders and at any time that something better could be considered as possible now. — (WPT.

* Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935).

Quote   I am already 72 years of age. I have long since given up working with my hands and do not perform any experiments.
      In the West, work on reactive vehicles has been in progress since the publication of my first paper in 1903.
      At first, applications were sought in the military field (Unge in Sweden and Krupp in Germany).
      Later, following the appearance of another one of my papers in 1911-12, the work performed was of a theoretical and experimental nature (Birkeland, Goddard). It was at that time also that Esnault-Pelterie expressed his views.
      But from 1913 onwards many in Russia as well had become interested in problems of flight beyond the atmosphere, particularly when they saw the serious attitude towards this problem in the West. The pioneers were Ryumin, Perelman (scientific papers and articles of a popular nature), Shirikin, B. Vorobyov, Manuilov, Ryabushinsky, Shmurlo and others.
      Oberth became interested in astronautics after the publication of my work "Beyond the Earth" in the widely circulated magazine "Priroda i lyudi" (Nature and People), 1918 (the article was published separately in 1920). Oberth's article gave the German scientists and thinkers an appreciable impulse to the publication of fresh work by new people: Wolf, Valier, Heft, Hohmann, Ley, Sander, Opel, Scherschevsky, Lademann. The last two (particularly Lademann) translated and circulated my works. In the USSR the same was done by Modestov, Bayat, Ivanovsky, Yegorov, Davydov, Lapirov-Skoblo, and others.
(K. Tsiolkovsky, 'Cosmic Rocket Trains' (1929), Selected Works, Moscow 1968, pp. 187-8).

Note  "You have kindled a fire, and we shall not let it die out, but will bend every effort to make the greatest dream of mankind come true."
(H. Oberth, 1929 to Tsiolkovsky. Translated from the German ; Tsiolkovsky : Selected Works, Moscow, 1968, p. 326).

Comment   The 'Selected Works' I have seen look nearly entirely reliable ; but one knowing something about the Reds would rather remain skeptical about the few statements in it referring to the Red Bolsheviks. The Russian editors of this volume (Moscow 1968) had no choice other than to praise the Bolshevik 'system' etc. ; which many authors cynically did, at least the barest minimum of that was needed else nothing would be permitted to be published ; there still having been some unadultarated parts in their materials on any non-political matter.
    The danger to humanity may be part over in Russia but is not quite over overall. You have been warned, Professor for any praises of the Soviet Union, in any materials, seem to be still believed by some, at least some say so. What is or is not to be believed about that scheme is ever a question, sir ; because those people who had been not themselves duped by the Reds had often relied on others who had been. The highest levels of discernment will not suffice on some of the Red Bolsheviks' designs and all can be done may be only some effectively workable probabilities to be considered. (WPT, May 07).

Note   "M. Bourtzev, who achieved fame for his exposure of the provocateur, Azev, has published circumstantial details of the relations of Lenin and other prominent Bolsheviks with the Germans during the war.* In 1915-16 Lenin lived in Berne, co-operated with a Major of the German General Staff, and received seventy million marks for the purpose of defraying the cost of his revolutionary agitation in Russia and the countries allied with Russia. Other prominent bolsheviks, including Trotsky, Zinoviev, and Radek, were given financial assistance by German authorities and bankers in Stockholm and Copenhagen. The Germans sought to make use of the services of the Bolshevik leaders for their own mililatry purposes, but they had a poor understanding of Bolshevik aims. In the end the Russian Revolution went to lengths such as they had never anticipated; and its virus infected the morale of the German armies and peoples. Thus fate had its revenge ; the deceivers were deceived."
(Lancelot Lawton, The Russian revolution, London : Macmillan, 1927, pages 451-2.)

    * "La Trahison de Lenin", by V. Bourtzev, 1921. This as given by L. Lawton (1927). Some of the details might be difficult if not impossible to determine ; but this does not preclude one's gaining a quite clear overall picture based on what is know with certainty and on what can be conjectured within some framework of exact possibility.
    On the direct contacts in Berne by Lenin with the functionaries of the German General Staff I know nothing certain ; Possony had published a record of expenses made by Lenin at the time for which there had been no known source of his income. Any such monies Lenin was then spending had to come from somewhere — unless he was counterfeiting it but this has not ever been suggested by any sources I have seen.

    The reported conniving, at the very least, by the German side at Lenin's et al return to Russia in April 1917 has been copiously documented by numerous sources. The Germans "had a poor understanding of Bolshevik aims. In the end the Russian Revolution went to lengths such as they had never anticipated" (L. Lawton) — that should suffice for an explanation of what had really happened. General Ludendorff had also greatly clarified some of the issues in his own writings published circa 1918 and 1920.

On the Lenin Enigma and on 70 Million Marks

      The exact figure of seventy million marks which Lenin was said to have got from a German Major has been from all appearances got from V. Burtzev. There had been no particular reason then to question that figure (this being only a detail in a larger exposition by Lawton of the conditions in the USSR at a later date).
      Where is La Trahison de Lenin by Bourtzev, the expert ? The question would seem to break down as, (a) had Lenin in fact received any money from any German sources and (b) if yes, how much exactly.
      Burtzev has been acclaimed as one of the best informed sources on the revolution in Russia, and on the circumstances thereof. His text La Trahison de Lenin would be greatly helpful to some analysis ; perhaps this can be found somewhere, the expert. What I (for one) know presently follows.

On the 40,580,997 (and some) Marks Spent by Germany (1914-18) on Felling Russia.
      "The famous 'Kaiser's millions for Lenin' of which so much has been heard must be reduced to their proper proportions. Accounts made up to January 30, 1918, show that Germany had up to that date authorised or spent 283 millions on the special account for propaganda and special activities. Of this roughly 11 million had been spent on Erzberger's propaganda campaign [etc. ; figures follow for the USA., Spain and Italy ; Rumania ; Morocco ; Persia ; Afghanistan]. The 40,580,997 marks for Russia make up about 10 per cent of the total expended. On January 1, 1918, about 14.5 million marks had not yet been spent, bur the expenditure up to July 1, 1918, on German propaganda in Russia amounted to about 3 million marks monthly. Shortly before his murder the ambassador Count Mirbach asked from Moscow for a further round sum of 40 million marks, and this was allowed him, to counterbalance the money being spent by the Entente. Of these 40 millions, only 6 or at the most 9 (two or three monthly quotas) had been sent and used by the end of the war. The 40 or 80 million marks spent in the service of German policy in Russia should also be compared with the 6,000 million roubles which Russia had to pay Germany under the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk." (Source : Professor Fritz Fisher, German Aims, etc., English translation, New York : Norton, 1967, p. 153).
      The destinies of the "marks spent in the service of German policy in Russia" were sometimes clearly ascertained, sometimes only capable of some approximately plausible guesswork.

On the Two Million (out of 40,580,997) Marks Given A. Helphand. Abraham (Alexander) Helphand (Helfand, alias Parvus) was the mastermind of the plan to send Lenin to Russia to foment revolution ; his memorandum containing the same (Constantinople, etc., March 1915) was approved by the German Foreign Ministry ; Helphand was invited to Germany where he was eventually naturalized. Two separate disbursements, one million marks each, made to Helphand are found on record in the extant documents.

On the Parts of the 40 (to 80) Million Marks Spent on the Street (etc) Propaganda in Russia.   Some of these monies had indeed reached their intended destinations, e.g.. "the workers" who were striking, etc., etc., in Petrograd, etc. Confer The Fatal Years by Colonel B.V. Nikitine for a description of the actual street-level operations, some names of individuals are given there. The exact amounts which were disbursed in that fashion seem hard to determine but they may have been considerable.

On the Twenty (out of the 40 to 80) Million Marks Said to Have Been Stolen by Zina Antonov  . This is not corroborated (so far as I know) ; the datum was given by Princess Catherine Radziwill (The Firebrand of Bolshevism ; this could have been 20 million roubles). I have seen the name Zina Antonov mentioned in some early texts on the revolution in Russia, as that of a prominent agent ; and not mentioned at any later dates. It seems probable that the cleverest of the Bolsheviks could have simply disappeared, possibly abroad, presumably under assumed names, carrying their personal cut of the loot with them.
      This one might be worthy of some attention, this Zina Antonov ; I do not assert that account is entirely true for want of sufficient information, but there is nothing improbable in it. One exact question seems relevant : What happened of Zina Antonov, Professor ?

On the Part of the 40 (to 80) Million Marks Stolen by Bronstein (Trotzky).   In the mentioned text (Firebrand of Bolshevism) the Princess gives some exact figures, possibly quite accurate. Trotzky (Bronstein) was, after his exile from the Soviet Union, able to maintain a relatively comfortable life style ; improbable to have been supported by his writings, his only known source of personal income. He certainly had access to whatever funds flowed from Germany to Russia 1915-17, at least at times. In 1917 he, Lenin, etc. had laid their hands on the Russian treasury itself. What parts of the funds he was using later during his exile were stolen from the Germans and what parts were stolen from the Russians may seem an idle question to a layman ; this might be of interest to some real specialists (no quotation marks this time) on the period.

On the Parts of the 40 (to 80) Million Marks Stolen by Sobelson or Sobelsohn (a.k.a. Kradek vel Radek) and Apfelbaum (Zinoviev).   Of Sobelson or Sobelsohn (Kradek vel Radek) not to have stolen any money within his reach would be entirely out of character (this based on several reports from several different sources). I know nothing about Apfelbaum (Zinoviev)'s practices in this respect but the two were very close ; for example, the two had once appeared together as "the Swiss" at some gathering somewhere. Apfelbaum (Zinoviev) had a sort of reputation for forgery.
      In the crucial period between April and July 1917, the funds went by such a conduit : Max Warburg (of the Warburg Bank in Germany), to Olaf Aschberg (Nya or Nia Bank in Stockholm) to Hanetsky (alias Furstenberg) then (across the Finnish-Russian border) to Miss Sumenson, to Kozlovsky to Krupskaya (Lenin's wife) — as directed by Herr Steinwachs. All this has been plausibly attested and/or documented (C. Radziwill, Kerensky, Nikitine, Bourtzev — but where is his Trahison de Lenin, Professor ? — etc).
      Please note that the Bolsheviks (marxist-leninist) had always lied about this part of the revolution, without any exceptions ever ; the false denials having been often accepted and repeated by sundry credulous authors in the Red-agent-ridden West.
      How much exactly Sobelson or Sobelsohn (Kradek vel Radek) and/or Apfelbaum (Zinoviev) may have stolen of the German funds does not seem important. Possibly not very much since they seem not to have been "in" the money-train (Warburg-Aschberg-Hanetzky-Sumenson-Kozlovsky-Krupskaya, Direktor, Steinwachs) ; the two were just as well as the rest indirect "beneficiaries" of any of the subversion financing.

On Confronting the 'Unknowable'. Exactly to account for everything might be not a promising project. Some consequences of these events may have been present until to-day —

Tentative Conclusion   The 'seventy million marks' given in 1921 by the Russian revolutionary and the '40 to 80 million marks' given in the 1960's by the German professor do not look like a discrepancy to me.
      The text by Professor Fischer contains a reference to some more detailed accounting, in other publications.
      In the end it would seem not unfair to speak about some 70-80 million marks for the Revolution (guessing about the possibility of more but not asserting such). To say that 'Lenin received' such sums was in fact inaccurate ; to say that he was the final "beneficiary" of any and all of them would be probably very nearly true.
      Large parts of the 'millions for Lenin' went to Russia via other conduits, and at other dates, previous to Lenin's return — which were however used towards preparing the ground for his actions.
      I for one would guess that relatively little of those monies had ever been directly to his hand. His personal finances were taken care of by the wife Krupskaya ; and it was she who was one of the main points of transfer to the funds in 1917. (But I do not know. The Trahison de Lenin by Bourtzev might be helpful, the expert.)

      On any account : what is known with certainty goes very much counter the usual marxist-leninist line. "Lenin was not a German spy!" was the usual curve, thrown over and over by numerous propagandists or apologists, wittingly or unwittingly. Lenin certainly was not a spy (at least not in April 1917 an on ; one would not vouch for anything previous to that date). His job, insofar as the German side was considered, was to wreak as much chaos in Russia 1917 as possible — by way of implementing his "ideology". — (WPT).

Quote   "The place of the embryonal formative process is a field (in the usage of the physicists) the boundaries of which, in general, do not coincide with those of the embryo but surpass them. Embryogenesis, in other words, comes to pass inside of the field. . . .  What is given to us as a living system would consist of the visible embryo (or egg, respectively) and a field. . . .  The question is how the field itself evolves* during the development of the embryo." 
(A. Gurwitsch, 'Ueber den Begriff des embroyonalen Feldes', Archiv für Entwicklungs Mechanik, 51, 392, 414, 1922.  ; as quoted by G. Strömberg, The Autonomous Field, the Journal of the Franklin Institute, 1945, Vol. 239 ; reprinted in several other publications. )

      * No. The field does not evolve itself. It is the field which evolves the embryo. The immaterial source of the field being postulated resolves any attendant 'philosophy' in a few simple words.
      It seems that the actual progress by Man could be compared to several armies, advancing ; but not well co-ordinated. Plato, Plotinus, et el, had good parts of the answers ; so had Pythagoras before them. While the 'exact' sciences (or, sometimes, "sciences") advanced, the vanguard of the past may have been occasionally lost somewhere in the wilderness ; now : you meet some people there, you do not even know who is who, the reader. The syn-bolons have to be examined, this might afford some recognition. — (WPT).

Note on The Fields of Life

      "The question ... how the field itself evolves during the development of the embryo" has been poorly stated. It is the 'field' which evolves the embryo.
      In other words, this 'field' is the soul — for which the metaphysician had grappled for such a long time ; despite some sufficient answers having been present all along — usually buried within the 'torturous expressions' (Wang Yang-ming) of which the human literatrue on such 'metaphysical' questions for the most part consisted.
      Des Cartes was fumbling round ; but his extensionless 'soul' was said to have location (the pineal gland). Can an extensionless substance have a location, the reeader ?
      To the best of my personal knowledge, sufficient answers have been found and have been given mankind ; free, or, at the most, at the expense of a few bucks for one publication or another. The crux of the matter : the answers are simpler than usually suspected (by the philosopher, or, may the God have mercy upon us, the theologian).
      The answers are there, the reader. The works such as by H. Driesch, Gurwitsch, Gustaf Stromberg, Harold Saxton Burr and a few others have been paving the way to an entirely scientific approach to the questions which usually have seemed to belong to the realm of religion ; the divisions, purely verbal, between 'science' and 'spirituality' (some few other such man-made divisions) have been effaced.
      When in perplexity, keep reading on, has been somebody's advice. (WPT, March 07).

FOREWORD

I AM GLAD that General Wrangel抯 memoirs are being made available to the American public...

General Wrangel was educated as an engineer. He departed from that profession to serve his country in war. His first military service was in the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 as an officer in a Cossack regiment. In the First World War he rose rapidly in the Russian Army to the rank of Major General.

I did not know General Wrangel personally. But having charge of European relief and reconstruction measures on behalf of the Allies after the First World War, my duties extended to the Black Sea region. I was therefore familiar with the anti-Communist military operations in South Russia and particularly the army commanded by General Wrangel.

General Wrangel was one of the first of the Russian leaders to realize the dangers of the Communist revolution to the Russian people and the world. Immediately after the seizure of the Government by the Communists he joined the White armies under General Denikin in South Russia as one of his principal commanders. I was informed at that time by the Allied military authorities that General Denikin was wholly inadequate to his task and that General Wrangel, who was his subordinate, had the military and personal qualities which might bring victory over the Red armies.

After Denikin抯 defeat General Wrangel took command of the small disorganized remnants... [He] recovered the Crimea against ten to one odds. But in the end he was compelled to withdraw through Sevastopol to foreign countries in order to save the remnants of his army and a host of Russian refugees. American Admiral McCauley, who was in Sevastopol at this moment, says ;

Without any disorder Sevastopol was quickly evacuated at 3 P.M. . . . General Wrangel was the last to leave.

Until his death in 1928 General Wrangel devoted all his resources to the service of Russian refugees dispersed over Europe. His wife Olga took a devoted part.

In an address six months before his passing, he said :

. . . History, which knows no favouritism, will tell the importance of our struggle, the capacity of our sacrifices. It will know that the fight we carried on for the love of our country, for the resurrection of Russia as a nation, was indeed at the same time to safeguard the culture of Europe, the struggle for an age-long civilization, for the defence of Europe against the Red terror. . . .

General Wrangel's memoirs are the story of that great devotion.

ALWAYS WITH HONOUR
by GENERAL BARON PETER N. WRANGEL
With a Foreword by HERBERT HOOVER
New York : Robert Speller & Sons, 1957.

 

Mark This Very Well, the Reader

 

From The Last Years of H. M. Hyndman by Rosalind Travers Hyndman, 1924

(London, 1920) ' . . . during a few days in August, it seemed possible that British forces might be used in support of Poland (and perhaps of General Wrangel) against Russia*. A certain labour group called the 揅ouncil of Action" took credit to itself for having entirely blocked this proposal by the threat of a Transport Strike. I wonder ! I wonder very much. There is no doubt that the policy of the Council of Action was considered must timely and serviceable by certain members of the Cabinet and their friends. '

New York : Brentano抯, 1924, p. 220.

    * Comment   Far from blaming the author for a certainly inadvertent inaccuracy, the support was needed against Trotzky's Red army and not 'against Russia'.
    The sort of mix-up had been common and this needs to be carefully distinguished, For example, beside the present co-operation by the Poles, at least in so far as had proved possible, with Gen. Wrangel, there had been a Russian legion in Poland numbering over 20,000 who took part in the combat against the Reds (per Boris Savinkov by W. Churchill). This was not 'against Russia'.
    Whatever chances of getting rid of the Bolsheviks there may have been present, the report (as above) from the Red-infiltrated London is a good clue to why it had not happened at the time. A "threat of a Transport Strike" "I wonder !", wrote the British author. That had eventually contributed to the subsequent loss of far more than 100,000,000 human lives, in the USSR, Red China, etc., between them.
    That was only one detail of a pattern which was seen (or, alas, not seen) over and over and over again, very notably including the USA.
   
WPT

' Shattered by the revolution in its own land, the Russian Imperial Army had ceased to exist, and after four years of civil war, its successor, the Soviet Red Army, chose to suppress and even to defame the trials and achievements of its own people. . . .

But history has an inexorable way of sifting facts: slowly, sometimes desperately slowly, the truth emerges as parts of the puzzle eventually and inevitably fall in their right places. The participants may have disappeared long ago from the scene, but the correct picture is there for all to see.

Now, even in the Soviet Union [1982], the truth begins to be known . . . "

[Note this is the merest reprint of the Memoirs by General Wrangel published in New York (Duffield) in 1930. The translator (S. Goulston) is not mentioned in this edition. There is the added foreword by H. Hoover. The "first edition", says the copy : of what — a reprint with a changed title, with the translator name omitted and with two pages of Introduction (H. Hoover) added to the text which otherwise does not differ in any detail from the New York (Duffield) 1930 publication. What do you make of this, the reader.

The title 'always with honor' was not by Gen. Wrangel ; and I doubt this soldier would care for such pomp or ostentation -- (though H. Hoover "bought" it). However, two different tiles given one text can eventually create an idea of these having been two different works by the author.

Anything connected with the Red plague 1917-ca. 1980 is likely to have been subject to irregular practices by some hidden parties ; the results are all to often in plain view. (WPT)

[Note I have seen the published writings by Gen. Wrangel and I have seen many mentions of him by other authors, including by Alexis Wrangel, possibly a son or a relation. Nowhere have I seen any other spelling of the name than Peter Wrangel. Numerous "improvements" which I have seen in the reference data leave me most severely skeptical. For example, 'Wrangel, Peter' would not show at all at the University of California database by my several attempts, including today, Dec 2006. Who does need those "improvements" — which simply amount to falsifications ? Who was the author of those "improvements", I wonder. (WPT)]

Comment I know very little about this author ; parts of this material look like there may be something reliable found in the them. (WPT).

Alexander Alexandrovitch Zinoviev (1922-2006). (dates from the library catalogues).

Comment From many appearances one has an instance of an author in the Soviet Russia who might be reliable. However, anything went in those quarters after 1917 ; and anything could have emanated from those quarters. Some special attention might be in order in the case of this writer.
    &npbs; The name 'Zinoviev' had been used for a pseudonym by a Bolshevik criminal. Any of these details had better be sorted out, Professor, lest the science and Humanity collapse under some new versions of 'ideology'.
      The "Philosophical problems of many-valued logic" seem to have been available at the Los Angeles Public Library. It is not listed now ; and similar occurrences are numerous, Professor.
      Regarding the English translations of the works by this writer : none of the original Russian texts are listed by the University of California. Why ? — one wonders. There may be any kind of trash published in the Soviet Union found at the University of California (etc., etc). Why is something that apparently may be valuable not listed ?
      Many titles listed under Alexander A. Zinoviev have nothing to do with logic or philosophy. Was it one author, who wrote on all those subjects ? I do not know, but, again, anything went from those quarters (i.e. the late an unlamented USSR) ; and anything could be concocted and published in the West by the lackeys of the Kremlin sent or recruited abroad. Thus one is ever sceptical about any of this literature.
      This has little in fact to do with "the Russians", please mind, the reader. The Kremlin's masters 1917-1953 were not even of Russian origins, the key minions were seldom Russian, at least until 1953. It is not "the Russian" (himself oppressed) that has been the problem but the Comintern usurpers who had gained a seat for themselves in that country, due to some strange historic developments.
      But the legacy of disinformation, willy-nilly associated with publications in Moscow 1917-etc. remains to be confronted, and in the most skeptical manner. These may be exceptionally important issues, Professor, for any politics today and to-morrow are often interlinked with these and similar data. — (WPT).

* Mstislav Rstropovich (1927ďż˝ 2007).

Sokurov underlines the fact that, though seen as Russian archetypes, both were in several respects outsiders. Rostropovich's family roots were Polish-Lithuanian, while Vishnevskaya's were half-Polish, half-gypsy. Both ran afoul of the Communist authorities after sheltering novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and finally left the Soviet Union in 1974, stripped of their citizenship until welcomed back by Gorbachev.

The Arameic

* The Nazarene

      The ... Jews ... said unto him. Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil ?
      Jesus answered, I have not a devil ; but I honor my Father ; and ye do dishonor me. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
      Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets : and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying he shall never taste death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead ? And the prophets are dead ; whom maketh thou thyself ?
      Jesus answered, It is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say that he is your God. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day ; and he saw it, and was glad.
      Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham ?
      Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
      Then they took up stones to cast at him : but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the Temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by."

Comment   The above has been copied by me from a text by an author who seems largely but not entireley dependable. I have no faintest idea what translation of the Gospel it be ; (this was not given in the text I have used). The wording seems believable (to me) but there is nothing I could vouch for as regards the Authority for the text. (WPT).

The Jew

Intertwined are (1) language —: (a) the Semitic Hebrew and (b) a sort of German etc. dialect called the Yiddish which properly belongs with the Aryan (Indo-European) linguistic group, (2) the religious matters and (3) the 'race' (biological, or, genetic) matters. Any one or any combination of the three factors can be present when considering anything Jewish. (Apparently the lack of proper differentiation had led to grave errors.)

(Please note : the definitions are as accurate as I could have made them at the time of the writing, no claim to perfection is being made. The Chinese Sun Yat-sen had left us a neat article on such a matter, what constitutes a nation, which also includes such factors as traditional occupations, etc. It probably agrees with my attempt at isolating fundamentals.) (WPT)

A Question rather a proposal : the sorts of baloney indicated below had better cease lest some new unusual solution appear :

[I find in the Internet, May 07] : "Yale University Professor.."Five Jewish men influenced the history of Western civilization: Moses said the law is everything. Jesus said love is everything. Marx said capital is everything. Freud said sex is everything. Einstein said everything is relative" etc.
      Now, Moses did not invent law ; Jesus' followers had destroyed the Roman Empire, by some credible reports, many other complaints having been also uttered against them often by the Jewish authors : (one notes that his God was anything but some kind of 'jealous and vengeant' monster, and his teachings, some value in them, reportedly did not go well with the Jews ) ; Marx had created the most anti-social 'philosophy' ever known to man : approximate consequents in the 20th century : over 150 million people dead due to the actions of Lenin, Stalin, Schicklgruber (Hitler), Mao, Pol Pot, etc., between them. Do not forget that Schicklgruber's Workers' Party was a 'national socialist' one, the idea having first appeared in the USA circa 1918 with the Poale Zion group. Do not forget that Schicklgruber had been assisted in his push for power by the "marxist" Stalin ; do not forget that those two 'socialists' had started the war in 1939, and any of its consequences, some of them heard so much about ; Freud had detoured the work of his mentor J. Breuer (the one Jew who seems to have been important but is hardly ever mentioned) ; Einstein did not invent 'everything relative' which was known long before him : he had created some new mathematics : he had also contributed to the atom-bombing of some people in Asia in 1945 — who had aready wanted peace at a much earlier date but had been thwarted by Schicklgruber's estranged partner Stalin (USSR) — his idea being to bleed as many people to death as possible in order that his marxism (or 'socialism') could advance.
      If any of the above is inaccurate I would prefer to be informed.

      All in all, it seems that one could live with Moses, Jesus, Freud, Einstein, provided that 'all superstitious and perverse saying should .. be gradually dropped' (as a Chinese scholar observed).
      One demonstrably cannot live with Marx, Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and some few other followers of this Jew Marx touted by some university professor (and many others). Confer over 150 million either directly murdered or perished due to famines or other economic consequences of the 'ideology'. Anybody pretending otherwise is only further corrupting the society which would countenance his bunk.
      Some people are simply mad, the reader ; that is not a reason they should be tolerated, in the name of 'academic freedom' or the like in any sane society. Sometimes the baloney may be produced solely with the purpose of tampering with the academic freedom of others, the valuable works being lost in the tumult of the 'discussion'. It is not with an idea of curtailing anything one would object against somebody's baloney ; but it must needs take the people's not being misled by any propaganda in order merely to contiune going alive. — (WPT, May 07).

* Moses.    

" Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain. "

An Interpretation   One should make no unmeaning statements (taking the name of the Lord in vain) ; this one does seem to make sense but is very frequently violated usually without anyone's censure. Example : both this Commandment and the US Constitution had been severely violated by somebody's taking the name of the Lord and vainly placing it on the US currency sometime in the 1950's. — (WPT).

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God," etc. [2nd Commandment, found on Internet]

An Interpretation that does expressly prohibit any drawings, any kind of camera picture, any statue, any silhuette ; apparently, any geometry ('likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath'), etc. I for one would find it well-nigh entirely impracticable to try to observe this commandment, this apparently precludes any science ; nor do I see any obligation to do so. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them" looks like the one grain of sense found in the entire statement. A graven image of a deity (Jehova?) is not the deity and one should not mistake one for the other. (WPT, May 07).

---

    ¹ (Conspicuous among these who have undertaken this task is Edward [i.e. Eduard] Bernstein.)
(M. William, The Social Interpretation of History, New York : Sottery, 1921, p. 1).

Comment The one error common to those "revisionists" was, they did take the "work" by Karl Marx seriously. That "work" was dead on arrival, the fundamental misconceptions on which it was based terminal.*
      In effect, that whole 'ideology' had only served as a sort of tokens in the political games, when played by the crudest barbarians of the earth in the post-1917 Russia ('Soviet Union') and by their emissaries, overt or disguised in some fashion, in the so-called West.
      Mr. William, whose word I for one trust 100% but who was not infallible, speaks about "narrowing [the] scope [of the Socialist activity] through exceptions and limitations."
      Please consider : that 'philosophy' was too narrow, rather.
      Can you square everything as some kind of contest between some ill-defined 'bourgoisie' with some lousily-defined 'proletariat' ? No. And this has never really worked : anything had ever worked in any of those 'socialist' countries consisted of not applying the Marxian 'philosophy'.

WPT. Jan 07.

---

    * Am I overstating anything ? Please note 66 million dead in the USSR reported by the Russian historians ; about 80 million dead in the Red China reported by a Chinese historian ; etc., etc. Those figures relatively recently reported, the 1990's and the 2000's. Hope they will not grow.

" You Cannot Make a Silk Purse Out of a Sow's Ear "

Something on that order was what Eduard Bernstein and some others tried to make out of the Marxian 'philosophy'.

Please note this very well, the reader. On other counts E. Bernstein could be entirely reliable ; and he wrote on other subjects too.

Please note this very well, the basic simplicity of the line, E. Bernstein, the American Maurice William and the Chinese Sun Yat-sen (etc).

There is nothing complex or intrinsically difficult in such a development. The sole difficulty is due to some people who would try to tamper with the historic facts. This should not even be much of a difficulty provided it be noticed.

No daily newspaper will ever mention this or anything of the sort. Those newspapermen who are not corrupt do not even know enough themselves.

Please mark this simplicity and such simiplicities (and the entire history consist of no other) ; before some new calamities occur ; and those are being solely caused by the people who would mislead other people with false (deliberately concocted) information. — (WPT).

'The man of the future will think more of giving Service than of making money, no matter what particular kind of Service it happens to be. It will become a distinction worth striving for to give the best Service, whether you are conducting a retail shop or a great railroad.'
(The Words of Justice Brandeis, New York : Henry Shuman, 1953, p. 131.)

On the Chief That Doth Serve

      Out of some olden theological row eked has been a theory of management. This is just not about being noble in one's sentiments or the like but about the organisation of production. I do not undertake to give a full treatment to this at this point : may this be noticed, Professor. The statement in the title of this section I have got from W.N. Polakov, an American engineer, possibly of Russian ancestry. This probably does connect with some of the trends in Christianity (Polakov's 'chis who doth serve' was the Nazerene). A statement of this principle has appeared from the pen of a Jewish author (Brandeis). It can be found in some other authors later on. 'Common sense in its highest development' was one of the definitions of 'science' I have seen ; there may be something to it, Professor. — (WPT, May 07).

* Henry Theophilus Finck (1854-1926).

The "GOOD NEWS" may be, this author was a staunch ally of I.J. Paderewski ; and that at some times when every pipsqueak who wrote for some newspaper was spewing venom of some sort or other.

The "BAD NEWS", Professor, may be, this author was not ready for Edgard Varese ; possibly or presumably for many or any of the subsequent trends in music.

I do not yet know the exact detail in its full consequence, Professor. But these are the sorts of data which had to do with making history (not just 'philosophising').

One must forgive Mr. Finck his not being ready for Edgard Varese. One also notes, Professor, that any kind of latter-day writing canaille might try to make use of any "controversy" howbeit irrelevant (now), to create some more controversy today (2007).

If you, Professor, do not know what I mean then you should abandon your tenure and go somewhere and wait for some predetermined course of Salvation. (I for one am not sure about such because even that 'subject' has been prone to have been taken up by some 'specialists').

Do you know, Professor, what A and B and C mean ? If not then I might continue in this vein a little longer ; let's see. — (WPT, June 07).

Note on Hans von Wangenheim (1859-1915)

Why did Hans Freiherr von Wangenheim (1859-1915) disappear from the public libraries in the USA ?

By my inspection there had been some half a dozen titles listed by this author, Hans Wangenheim (1859-1915). Where are they ? Where is the author, Professor ?

The text by Ambassador Morgenthau contains numerous mentions of Ambassador Wangenheim. The published works by Hans Wangenheim (1859-1915) may have some literary value.

The libraries only feature (Dec 2006) a "Wangenheim, Hans Ulrich, Freiherr von, 1901-" ; who reportedly (but I do not know if actually) published one title in 1943 and another in 1944. This obviously could not have been Ambassador in Constantinople, Hans Freiherr von Wangenheim (1859-1915), whose funeral in 1915, as I recall, had been described by Ambassador Morgenthau.

Note on Abraham Israel Helfand a.k.a. Alexander Helfand alias Parvus (1867-1924).
sometimes given as Helphand, also (?) Gelfand.

The story took place in Constantinople 1914, Ambassador Morgenthau had nothing to do with it, Ambassador Hans Wangenheim had a small role in it.

Ambassador Wangenheim in Constantinople had been approached, on recommendation of one Dr. Max Zimmer, by one Abraham Israel Helfand a.k.a. Alexander Helfand (Parvus) — who had proposed a plan for putting Russia out of the war (then going on) by means of sending the most radical Social Democrats there (specifically Lenin was mentioned) to do the work of blowing up bridges and the like — under the slogan 'freedom and peace'.

The plan was accepted, Dr. Helfand was invited to Germany, given two million marks for starters, this was eventually acted out in April 1917, when "the radicals" arrived in Russia — with the permission (and blessing) of Herr Direktor Steinwachs. One Olaf Aschber of the Nya (Nia) Bank in Stockholm had a role in this which may have been major and certainly was significant. Any and all calamities and disasters in Russia 1917 etc. and on had ultimately stemmed from the plan by Abraham Israel Helfand a.k.a. Alexander Helfand alias Parvus. (Not that the German Foreign Ministry was shy at the subversion work abroad even without Helfand ; but it was his idea to use Lenin in particular to that very purpose).

The role of Ambassador Hans Wangenheim in it was minor, he did not do anything beyond referring A. Helfand (Parvus) to the appropriate ministries in Berlin. Is that the reason why Hans Wangenheim (1859-1915) should have disappeared from the libraries — the expert ?

Mark Very Well, the reader. According to A. Kerensky, A. Thomas was the French source which supplied the Russian (Provisional) Government with information on the financing of the Bolshevik conspiracy (Lenin, Sobelson-Kradek alias Radek, Apfelbaum alias Zinoviev, etc.) by the German Foreign Ministry in April 1917 etc.
    This matter was explicitly treated in a War Series publication by the USA Government in 1918. That text however was marred by a presence of spurious material in it (which I suspect came from Zinoviev, reputed expert on such matters ; but the opinions varied). This spurious material had been later used by the marxist-leninist conspiracy as "proof" that 'the Bolsheviks had received no money' (as lied Lenin in 1917 ; followed by any and every agent of said conspiracy and by any and every apologist).
    The reported facts leave no room for doubt, on the roles of A. Helfand (Parvus), Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, Herr Director Steinwachs, the banker Olaf Aschberg of the Nya (Nia) Bank in Stockholm, etc. It only took some naivet?of (a) the American representatives in Russia circa 1918 (Mr. Creel in the main) to accept spurious materials which would compromise their publication and (b) of anyone who would believe the lies by the Bolsheviks and their agents on the actual events of 1917 and on.
    The evidence is incontrovertible in the statements of, for example, General Ludendorff, broadly published including in the USA 1918. It does seem really to need astronomical blindness or some exceptional sorts of stupor on the parts of the public and especially the Academia to continue being deceived on this topic for not very far from a century by now.
    In the 1950's a text had been published attributing the forgery to an author which most likely had nothing to do with it — that, by a recognised "expert" on the subjects. Said "expert" was basing his expertise on such sources as the US Gov't materials which (a) had been lost, or, said to have been lost, sometime in the 1920's or 1930's and then (b) had been found in an office in Washington in the 1950's. In such circumstances, there could have been anything "found" in the 1950's and the text by the "expert" implies that the evidence and the proofs for his theses were not very well put together.
    For example, it is implied that texts both in German and in Russian were being typed on one typewriter -- and a similarity of the typed characters was found somewhere. Were that possible (one typewriter for two very different sorts of script, and this I do not know but I doubt it) — it still needs a separate character for a distinct letter in the Russian script and one in the German (Latin-derived) script. That part of the "proof" hardly makes sense. But I do not know. The motives implied by the "expert" to the author he had thought might have been the author of the forgeries contradict one another and, as it seems, decisively.
    It did not need fabricated materials to prove the sources of Lenin's financing. The story was broadly known anyway, e.g. an article by V. Bourtseff in the Russian press in 1917. Confer the recorded statements by Gen. Hoffman ; cf. the story of E. Bernstein's article in Vorwarts circa 1922. Confer the reported work by J. Ullrich (if you can find the data) ; etc.
    However, was it Albert Thomas who had informed the Russian (Provisional) Government about the conspiracy ? That was what Kerensky gave ; but another Russian author give another name of the source. The other Russian author seems entirely credible : but the copy I have seen of his text may have been altered.
    Please tell me, Professor, who it was that had informed the Russian Gov't in 1917 about the financing of Lenin's (etc) conspiracy — if you can. If this be not handled terminatedly some new fabrications might appear. (I think I have seen one blatant such listed somewhere). (WPT).

Comment   This author by her own statements decidedly was Jewish. She could write truly about the Jew Aaron Kohn or Cohen alias Bela Kun of some remarkable achievements in Hungary 1919.

Note the Red (Bolshevik) "No Conspiracy" (which, some asserted, never existed) :

An erstwhile colleague of that Aaron Kohn or Cohen — by the name of Alexander Goldberger — ran the network in the USA. He used the pseudonym "J. Peters" — you can still find literature by that "J. Peters" here and there.

One notes that there had been another J. Peters, active in the early years of the late USSR ; (?) He is described in some detail by Louise Bryant.

Please read Angelica Balabanoff on Louise Bryant just as well.

One needs not slog any such material. But one wants not to be ripped off by any masters of deceit — first of all.

The entire history of the Bolshevik (Red) scourge is brimming with the hoax. Sometimes, the people may be naturally unwilling to admit that they have been duped ; this mighty assist the work by any 'specialists' in covering this whole unwholesome history up.

If all this be not boldly confronted, in the end, 'we've died because our fathers had lied' might become more true than ever before.

The responsibility of the scholar has something to do with this. (WPT).

Note   Einstein and I had first met in Gottingen in 1911 when he came to conduct a seminar with Hilbert and Minkowski. This was one of those famous seminars in Europe which inspired so many of us in the problems of the new physics. I did not see him again until some years later when we met at another seminar in Berlin ... In 1931, Einstein came to the United States under the sponsorship of the German Institution, a Philadelphia foundation supported by the German government, that promoted cultural contacts between the United States and Germany. He thus first arrived in the United States as a representative of the German government.
      During the short time he was in the States, the German government changed." etc.

Where Einstein et al Came a Cropper
( by me WPT, May 07).

      On the Five-dimensional Representation of Gravitation and Electricity by A. Einstein, V. Bargmann, and P. G. Bergmann¹ contains, 'the physical continuum has only four dimensions'. Referring to the work of another author (Kaluza) they also propose that 'from the point of view of the five-dimensional .. geometry [those] assumptions seem to be artificially restrictive'.
      Without claiming versatility on the higher mathematics involved, one yet notes that the theory of the 'four-dimensional' physical continuum has been not without difficulties of its own.
      Tending to agree that there can be no when without a where² — one does not forget that the four values of Minkowski's formalization (3-dimensional space and the time value) look as though symmetrical. This might be not a formal error but it seems that the applications of this one (or any such) 4-term system may be limited.
      To the authors of this paper 'the physical continuum has only four dimensions' was apparently axiomatic. But the physical continuum such as can be seen around one³ has the apparent 3-dimensions (seen when you look at it, the action of your doing so preceding any measurement). The theory of the 'four-dimensional' continuum regarding 'time' as one of the values of the 4-term system seems thus wanting : before a particle can be considered as located at some certain point at some certain time, it must get to that point, somehow. Such an event (part of point-event) precedes the measurement of 'time' — which can only be done by comparison with the motions of some other particles at or in some other locations.
      Thus the application of a 4-dimensional model seems naturally limited. Why a 5-dimensional (5-'dimensional') formal structure would help anything is from the outset unclear.

      Supposing that the mathematics involved contain no purely formal errors (I for one am not inclined to getting into that), the conclusions by the authors are : '.. this system is uniquely determined. This is a definite advantage over the former theory, which contained arbitrary constants.
      'But just this fact that the equations are uniquely determined causes serious difficulties for the physical interpretation of the theory. [..] As no arbitrary constants occur in the equations, the theory would lead to electromagnetic and gravitational fields of the same order of magnitude. [?] Therefore, one would be unable to explain the empirical fact that the electrostatic force between two particles is so much stronger than the gravitational force. This means that a consistent theory of matter could not be based on these equations.'

      While all this may be fit for amusement, perhaps (if higher mathematics is your idea of fun, the reader) — it has been stated in no uncertain terms by these authors that a consistent theory of matter could not be based on these equations.
      In brief, pure mathematics. Supposing it contains no formal errors (I'm not inclined to delving into that), one reads, further : ' it seems quite possible that the formal relations derived in the present paper will retain their significance even though they cannot be interpreted in a direct field-theoretical sense'.

      What 'significance', though ? Professor ? So far, it has been presented by this very paper that the equations it contains 'cannot be interpreted in a direct field-theoretical sense'. In what 'sense' are they to be interpreted then — if any ?
    This is not quite a theory ; it rather looks like a mathematical proof of the impossibility of what the authors had by their own definitions undertaken in the first place. (WPT).

Caveat Emptor   the following text which probably can be seen in many a library in the USA and possibly elsewhere has been pure hoax :

Zeligs, Meyer A Title Friendship and fratricide; an analysis . . . , by Meyer A. Zeligs New York, Viking Press 1967 { London : Deutsch, 1967. } xiv, 476 p. illus., facsims., ports. 25 cm Bibliography: p. 451-464.

This is connected with the translation by Whittaker Chambers of F. Werfel's Abituriententag (1928, as Class Reunion in 1929) and with a series of crimes by one Dr. Carl Binger, psychiatrist, who many years later falsely testified in the US Courts in the US vs. Hiss case.

The blatant fraud by Dr. Binger consisted in an entire cobweb of falsehoods spun from the plot of Class Reunion. The criminal psychatrist had attempted to convince the courts that translator W. Chambers had as-though reenacted the behavior of one of the main characters. The overt falsehoods by Dr. Binger had been then sufficiently exposed by the prosecutor Thomas Murphy ; however, Dr. Binger had not been prosecuted — and the hoax went on, as the title published in 1967 by a "Zeligs" evidences.

Who this "Meyer A. Zeligs" was seems something of a mystery : there are no other titles by such an author listed anywhere. This could have been a pseudonym of Binger himself (which I think likely) — whoever did it, the writer had only restated and amplified the fraudulent claims made circa 1950 by Binger.

Hardly more a telling example could be found of the havoc wrought in the US (etc., etc.) by Stalin lackey's — and their lying descendants. This story is not quite over, unfortunately ; (WPT).

Quote   ... "It escapes the notice of many well-educated people that the scientific establishment always runs the danger of becoming a rigidly authoritarian religion, a church excommunicating heretics such as Wilhelm Reich, Velikovsky, and Timothy Leary. In this church it is high dogma that everything outside the human skull is relatively stupid and unfeeling, and that animistic religions, such as Shinto, which attribute life and spirit to rocks and rivers, represent the lowest form of intellectual development. Meanwhile, such an imaginative enthusiast for science as Arthur Clarke speculates about vast electronic intelligence located in the galactic center. But the angels may be growing in your window-boxes."

Note   ".. his ... work and ... teaching ... exposed him to the mass-misery, poverty, and political inequities that he had not perceived earlier. As a result he threw himself enthusiastically into social and political reform in pre-war Geramny. He became thereupon converted to communism. ... But his profound psychological insights could not let him rest content with being a mere Soviet sympathizer. So he rejected Red fascism just as totally as he had previously rejected nazism and black Fascism. He was a sincere and outspoken student of life who was outraged by sickness, suffering and misery, and there was no complacency of compromise in him. His conversion to and subsequent rejection of communism netted him many bitter enemies who, even to this day, would prefer that his name and his work go down to oblivion. I belive this to be one of the major reasons for his current ostracism ..."

* Wiktor Zysman (1901-1938).   Penname Bruno Jasienski.

His father Jakub Zysman 'converted to Protestantism, mostly to be able to marry a Catholic girl [?]... with whom he had three children, etc.' [Internet]. One rather expects a convertion to Catholicism — in order to marry a Catholic girl — and not one to Protestantism. I just found this curious ; it is almost certainly inaccurate.
      It is never too often to remind the reader that anything and everything having any connections with the Red (mis)rule in post-1917 Russia (as this writer at some times had) is to be verified an indefinite number of times. (WPT).

Note "I believed ... that he [Red writer Ehrenburg] had condoned, if not connived at, the purge death of a man who had been most kind to me—the Polish writer and editor, Bruno Jascienski [i.e. Jasienski]."
(Whittaker Chambers, 3 Jan 1959 to William Buckley. Odyssey of a Friend : Chambers' Letters to Buckley, 1954-61. New York : Putnam's Sons, 1956 [etc]. p. 233.).

Comment This is all I know (so far) about the acquaintance by W. Chambers with B. Jasienski. The misspelling of the name is Chambers' ; this suggest that he had not after all known Jasienski very well. (So long as this literature is quite authentic and this a perennial question with any material having anything to do with the Red conspiracies).
      Personally, this was not "a Polish" author insofar as he had chosen the USSR for his abode (and then had reportedly suffered the consequences). Please do not buy any of deliberately spread cofusion on any such matters, the non-partisan reader.
      The Bolshevik USSR was stopped by the Poles in 1920, in its "march beyond Vistula" (they did plan to get as far as Rhein in France then ; the England having been quite prepared by traitors then present notably within its goverment). Ever since that time the Red Bolshevik criminals had seen the 'enemy no. 1' in Poland ; and anyone who would have chosen that 'system' cannot be much considered a Pole ; whatever their motives.
      Wittgenstein himself, filled with the Red propaganda, had at some time an idea of relocating to the USSR ; in that he had tried to enlist assistance of Russell (who had connections with the Red govt'. of sorts ; mind the connections of B. Russell with the Reds for there is much stink in the entire story of B. Russell). However, the Soviets did not want Wittgenstein : (although this would have been a propagand coup of sorts ; presumably he was too smart to be fooled indefinitely long and the Kremlin masters did realise that).
      Some people may have gone there due solely to delustion. This author, 'B. Jasienski', reportedly had been "purged" ; why did he go over there ?

Not a "Polish author" ; beware of any confusion being created ay any creepy sources, the reader. — (WPT).

Comment The Italian translation of 1977 and the English translation of 2000 imply between them that there had been (a) a text in Polish titled 'Bal Manekinow', (b) a translation from the Polish into the Russian of the same published in Moscow, 1931 (of which the translation into the English has been reportedly made) and (c) the translations themselves. However, I have seen neither the Polish version (presumably the earliest original) nor the reported translation into the Russian (1931) listed by any library. Parts of these data may be inaccurate ; and it is never to often to caution the reader about the Red disinformation — which may have been present also in the case of this one "purged" writer. (WPT).

    Quote   "In order to collect their government subsidies, schools are allowing most Black students to graduate without mastering the basic skills, except in major sports. They have no knowledge of American history or Black heritage. If these kids have not heard of Jackie Robinson, they surely have not learned about Duke Ellington."
(In Los Angeles Sentinel, 4 May 2006, page A ?15).

* Jackie Robinson ( 1919 - 1972 ). Baseball player, in 1950 had renounced the marxist-leninist conspiracy.

Note   ".. in the days following World War II, when Stalin launched his war against the United States, the Communists demonstrated that this excitement about ďż˝white chauvinismďż˝ was merely a stratagem to enable them to further Soviet propaganda among the Negroes. This was nowhere shown better than in the rash and untrue declaration by Paul Robeson in 1949 at the Soviet-controlled peace conference in Paris, that the American Negroes would not fight for the United States against Soviet Russia. The Negro press in this country blasted Robeson for his outburst, which could not have been made without direction from Moscow. Jackie Robinson, the noted Brooklyn second baseman called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, repudiated and refuted Robesonďż˝s slander against the Negroes, and asserted what is the fact : the Negro people are loyal to the United States. Since Robeson would know in advance that such would be the reception of his remarks, it is evident that he did not make them in order to win over the Negroes. He made them, coldly and by premeditation, in order to create among the whites in this country the suspicion that the Negroes were disloyal, and thereby to increase racial friction in this country."

http://home.hiwaay.net/~~oliver/ddtragicyears.html

Comment   Outside any race issues, her case was by no means unique : compare logician E. L. Post, electroshocked, had almost immediately died of heart attack ; writer E. Hemingway, suicide after electroshocks ; mathematician John Nash driven nuts by some enemies — although he had recovered, by his own devices — and not thanks to some 'new drugs' (a false datum which went around circa 2000).
      Compare the tragic years of another actress, Marilyn Monroe, where 'racism' was presumably not present. More closely to the topic, note the harmful "treatments" such musicians as Bud Puwell or T. Monk had received ; and many others had, usually to no purpose.
      This pseudo-science (psych quackery) was not limited to the African American communities, though it has been markedly present therein. There has been a book by some (non-corrupt) psychologist, which may be worthy of note, titled 'The Manufacture of Victims', from which some data can be gleaned on certain patterns. Some grievances sometimes present among the African Americans were quite real : the "solution" ? Aggravate them even more so that the 'specialist' could have a growing field of patients.
      Then, the 'capitalist' pill maker might sincerely believe this "science" which would tend to sell his wares.
      But this as if just happens to agree with the Red 'socialist' (Bolshevik) programs of alienation — where the African American communities, some problems being actually present, formed the most fertile field for the troublemaker.
      The work by D. Dandridge in Hollywood, which town was a hotbed of the alien (Bolshevik) infiltration, could have been affected by that factor and I for one would not omit this from consideration.
      The Reds (Bolshevik) had no use for talent unless it could be used to their purposes ('world revolution', i.e., world ruin). Yet a talent can generate jealousy in any circumstances and with any kind of people present.
      Not denying the likelihood (or presumable certainty) of some instances of racial discrimination or harassment, the presumable certainty of some such, it would seem promising to examine every factor that could have contributed to the tragedy of this one actress : for many ills have not at all been limited to the African American communities and if this be overlooked the tragedies of everybody might continue. — (WPT).

* George Duke (b. 1946).  : Musician, has worked with J. "Cannonball" Adderley, M. Davis, the list of credits may be somewhat long.

Opinion     To me some special importance can be found in his work with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention — because of the many ties that collaboration had with other developments, musical and non-musical.

An idea : an underlying principle of G. Duke's musical statements and F. Zappa's etc. verbal statements could be approximately apprehended.
