The lack of participation by my friend from Aleppo has me worried. I hope all is well.

Like I will keep saying, a parasite will remain a parasite. I especially love the one about the girl being expelled due to complaints by turks that "she got better grades than them." THat is very, very much the standard.

Oho, Հոյակա՜պ

Gantshorne should be required reading, seriously. This is one of the best reads I have had. THere is unfortunately only one copy of the book in town, and I cannot find any in stock anywhere. Someone should put this thing on the internet in PDF format. It is a treasure,

Woah! Any chance of English subtitles?

Is this true? Verified?

You think that is a joke? Turks actually say that "all native Americans are a tribe of Turks"

They are right in that Nina Garsoian is a great Azerbaijani scholar. As it was shown on Russian television, Diakonov is also a great Azerbaijani scholar.

Honestly, I love, LOVE the Ararat brand jams that you can find in the ARmenian grocery markets here. The Apricot is best, not surprisingly. http://www.amazon.com/Ararat-Apricot-Jam/dp/B004H9NKIY

This audiobook news is truly great news!

Haha, I knew it! It would be preferable to keep this and get rid of some of the "why do we date turks, jurds, burds" trash

Fascinating question, Ed. Obsession on one side (the side that wants answers about Jews, customarily called "the anti-semite" by that other, "political correct" side who is the "healthy in mind but likes prozac" sort - i.e. the "leftist fascists and totalitarians who think they are democratic liberal minded" sort) begins when these facts are ignored by the "establishment," and people start asking this question. Interestingly enough, the more they get resistance from the 'establishment" (such as the standard non-responses above), the more suspicious they become. Hence the "obsessive" and "repetitive" behavior ensues. It is rather healthy, actually. Sheep don't ask questions. They say "ba-a-a-a-a". But human beings, men in particular (it is true), ask lots and lots of questions. Jewish organizations actually keep tabs on stuff like this, but “they are not obsessed. Oh no”. For example, these organizations do have statistic on the gender distribution of “certified anti-semites,” and the males win it out, hands down. I still carry the ADL membership, left over from my younger college days when I joined every human rights organization one can think of with the hopes of gaining allies for Genocide recognition. Imagine the degree of disappointment. To ask questions when noticing anomalies and contradictions, when noticing dissonance between presented "established facts" versus noticeable reality, that's called Critical Thinking. How easily we forget this when dealing with Jews, and I find this even more obsessively fascinating! So, the best thing is to let it out in the open and let the matter be discussed. Usually discussion of anything with regards to Jews is discouraged. At Hyeclub dot com, for example, the word Jew is even edited out by an automatic filter routine! I was called, quite automatically, an "anti-semite" by some Thoth on this forum for saying that "Jews have a bias in historiography that favors them." How "outlandish" a claim that is, to say that Jews have biases. It cannot be! - [ ] But, before I said this, I merely said "and then there are the Jews," after naming every other sort that is involved in some form or another historical revisionism against Armenians, which are not really that many, once you calibrate things properly. It is really one or two columns against Armenians. Others simply don’t matter. No one got upset or went about name calling until I said “and then there are the Jews.” That in itself is an interesting topic! It is ironically not the genocide that is of the hottest contention. It is ancient Armenian history! To understand this, you have to think like a zionist, the one people on the planet who invaded and occupied land based on, well, ancient mythology! Who like that wants competition, eh? What I was going to say, before the "politically correct" parasitic noise began was that Jews, as any other people who depend on their mythology in order to validate their identity and especially political (and territorial, subsequently) claims, will dislike any possible historiographical paradigm that might upset that balance and throw their "our mythology is real history" notion out the window and downgrade it to what it should be; i.e. myths and legends based on half-truths and half-facts. That condition of having a mythology of hyperbole, symbolism and metaphor is quite normal, but few will achieve to sell those as factual and historical chronicles. Therefore, I am fascinated, and somewhat obsessed, with this skill set of achieving "magical thinking" among even objective masses and selling myth as history. Armenians are historical (and moral/future again) holders of the Land of Ararat where, as Arpa says aptly, that “drunk landed his large ship” perhaps because his GPS didn’t take him to Sinai like he should have. You have to understand, the GPS system, that pigeon (ok, “white dove”) he launched, he liked Armenia probably. (Am I now re-editing the story? Hey, is that not also my prerogative?) Armenians, then, have the audacity to think that the Tapan landed on Mount Ararat, Massis, and then they go off into owning the Bible and so on. Jews probably get really upset and don’t say anything outright. They just say "you don't have a history." But, really, wouldn’t you be? “Hey Schmulik, what the &*%^$%* are these Minnai doing with our boat? Oy vey! I swear mother told me it landed on Sinai!” You have to admit, it is fascinating. Now, here's how my obsession began: I am sure that you do know Berich Hrozny, a Jew "by birth" (as it is often said, but why? Was he an elephant “by death”?). I read an article by an archeology student, I think graduate student, at the University of Prague named Nshan Martirossyan who at the time was studying under Hrozny. Martirossyan was expressing puzzlement as to why Hrozny was so "adamantly against accepting the possibility that Hayassa can in fact be the same Hay ethnonym." After reading this, I, too, was in "puzzlement" (Yul Brynner, _The King and I_, my favorite.) Needless to say, my puzzlement soon grew to become keen interest. And then interest became a full time obsession. The problem with this obsession is that the more you dig, the more dirt seems to surface, thus perpetuating itself as an obsession. It is rather a sad commentary on things if every bad suspicion turns out to be right, and yet you find that there’s even more to the story. So far we have found, as much as we are reluctant to find: Tala’at Mausoleum that has a six pointed star, which confirms Rafael de Nogales’ comments on Tala’at about the latter having been a “rogue Jew.” Emanuel Carasso/Karasu’s involvement in the attempt to bribe Hamid to acquire Palestine and then the return of Karasu during Hamid’s abdication. Then we have this weird “coincidence” of the “sabbataean” identity of Mustafa Kemal.The list is quite large, and it is growing (with current Armenian Republic political figures included). Even the Israeli author, Auron, about whom I am sure you’ve discussed, has mentioned that the Sephards were right there alongside the muslim Turks, especially in Smyrna, killing and looting. is that a good answer?

Hmmm. Can't delete and redo?

I'm always chiming in late, and this is somewhat off topic (I will get to that at a more convenient time), bu Pasteur was always wrong. Come on. Even he knew that: http://greenearthfound.blogspot.com/2009/09/louis-pasteur-versus-claude-bernard-on.html There is an apocryphal story that Pasteur renounced his germ theory on his death-bed, saying that “Bernard is right. The microbe is nothing. The environment is everything.” The renowned 20th century French-American microbiologist René Dubos (1901-1982) agreed with Bernard’s principle: “Most microbial diseases are caused by organisms present in the body of a normal individual. They become the cause of disease when a disturbance arises which upsets the equilibrium of the body.”

"My arm is now healing." Sounds "good to me". Make sure he eat that khash (qalla p-a-cha-) after a good daily beating during that "good old hospitality interrogation" session.

I don't get it. Why would you need foreign "cash" and "resources" (not) to rework a(n already functioning and profitable) domestic project and then expect "independence from Russia"? Why, if you decide to do the renovations and improvements yourself, by issuing your own government credit, and the contracting out domestic, or even diasporan Armenian expertise, to accomplish this, where is the problem in doing that? It's the same old stupid "my Boss is better than you Boss," with the additional illusion of "Pitting one Bear against the Lion" deal? They'll both eat you!

It's a full time job, friends, full time job!

Shriners, eh? Hmmm.. smells pink to me. What a surprise (not).

Here's the bloomberg info on this: http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=27352493 My guess is that they are a post-IMF "rummage sale collector" firm. This is the new age of globalism. For this reason, my friend, all nationalism is being ridiculed systematically by the leftist academia. Now, if people do not yet see the collusion of "left and right" in this game, then, please, go back to college and at least refresh your algebra skills.

You have to admit, the parasites protect their stolen goods well. They have entire ministries and institutions, churning out spin after spin. What are we doing instead? "Oh, amot e, amot. Chenk grnar @sel te Urartun haygagan e. Amot e. Hedo G@sen vor turki bes enq." We're still acting like sheep under the shearing blade.

As to the "South becoming semitic," that needs to be thrown out as well. It became "semitic" (which is nonsense, that word doesn't exist in any written record except the aforementioned tribal tall tale compendium called the OT) only upon the amoritic donkey riders became the majority in Sumer through Sumer's own economic policies which reminds one of the modern "imported labor" economies. The difference was that the amoritic tribes that settled as laborers in the cities in Sumer never broke ties with their co-tribalists and in fact ended up gaining political control through this double-identity. The city of Mari is a perfect example. It only became "semitic" (again, amoritic) in character after the local sumerian populations were gradually overwhelmed by the high birth rate amorites, who were by tradition nomadic looters and saboteurs of trade routes as well. The tall tales of these bandits is what we inherited as "law." Very pathetic.

Abraham is the template of a pimp. I have no idea how this denied, circumnavigated, ignored, exonerated/excused, but the object of the game in Egypt was that of extortion through sex. Clear cut. Many have tried to find a way around it, but they cannot. The OT is a tribal facsistic oral hodge-podge committed to writing, a series of tales, often with many details "borrowed" from older cultures, weaved while siting around the fire at night telling stories of "how great my grandfather, the Prophet, was." This tradition of orally transmitted hyperbole became a religion. The New Testament, however, is different indeed. I can't remember who, Kalil Gibran perhaps, said "The New Testament is essentially the Armenian religion."

Since when are we to keep on publishing the Kettle and the Pot calling each other names as the standard diet? Bagratyan is a fellow that has no more business being in politics, a totally and utterly discredited persona, and yet here he is making bold predictions. Bagratyan has a resume that includes exporting technical talent at below wholesale to Iran, for example, while simultaneously denying that such talent exists or has ever existed in Armenia. he is of course only "concerned" about the sale of assets to foreign entities from a petty partisan position. He forgets that during his tenure as Minister of Economy, he was participating in the destruction of the Ecomony, and part of the destruction process was the sale and gutting of the industrial infrastructure, in addition to the "exporting" of technological talent. Fascinating, these folks.

This is so banal: "A language that didn't have any national or tribal origins." Such nonsense. Seriously, cognitive dissonance is the order of the day where Lunar mythology is winning, is the dominant ideology, that of "working in the dark, subversive," an era where the "covert" is the most potent and impacting, an era of KGBs, NKVDs, CIAs, Mossads, Savamas, MYT, MI-5, scaring the crap out of every overt government, having people constantly paranoid about who did what in politics. It is an era where the parasite is touted as a "creator," the banker is considered "a force for progress," which is as absurd as saying "the Sun's rays are shining on us more efficiently and are more affordable since the Fed lowered the interest rates." The Aryan age was a wonder, a miracle in human history that brought about civilization, the era of Maleness, the era of courage, of honesty, of openness. Yes, actually, there was such an ethnic group, and there is still such an ethnic group. We are the ARmen, the people who worshipped the Sun, the Solar ideal, the one that says "you cannot hide in darkness" in the spiritual sense, the one that finally abandoned all duplicitous and subversive power politics as personified in the Lunar deities (which is once again a dominant ideology in that region), the one that gave Christianity its first inspiration through Mihrism, the one that is still called by its ancient name, People of the Sun. What the hell is so hard to comprehend about this? Then there are the hybrid cultures that are still cause for confusion. For instance, I believe Jacquetta Hawkes and her assertions that the "Hittites invaded India through the Khyber pass," which, the Hatti/Hittites were the Aryans, the Armenians. The only thing I don't agree on is that it was an invasion. There are indications that the Dravidian and the Aryan have been interacting all over the place, the Mittanni kingdom, Sumer, Persian empire in its entire history, all hybrid Aryano-Dravidian cultures, and so on. Genetics is proving this. The Hatamti/Elamites were obviously Dravidian, and by the time the Hakhamanish dynasty had come along, that part of the world was already a mixed culture, as was the entirety of the Indian sub-continent (an apt term, really, that should still be used). But the term "Aryan" did have origins in an ethnic group, definitely. As to the "Norse mythologers" that sprung up in Germany, they are wrong. It has nothing to do with "blondness", but boldness, vigor, virility, rugged honesty of a set of tribes, probably related in blood at some point, who agreed on a set of principles.
