Hegemony has been described as a form of control in which the elite achieves dominance over a subordinate population via the subordinates' consent and acceptance of beliefs rather than by use of force, (although force can be a handy standby). Once the elite is accepted as the ruling party, his beliefs, norms and values can then be projected throughout the subordinate masses creating a consensus of what will be accepted as normal behavior - - all benefiting the elite cream that has risen over the masses, to the top. Christianity, the largest organized religion on Earth, is primarily based on the patriarchal hegemony of Judaism, claiming God (Yahweh) is masculine, and males are made in "the image and glory of God," as Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians, Chapter 11.
Hegemony, therefore, is not something newly discovered, but it is one of the most ancient forms of control by establishing ideas and beliefs within the masses. Those wishing to maintain the status quo of the elite, (i.e., the elite) have also long known that the way to protect their status is by eliminating alternative views as well as silencing rebellious intellectuals who dare to question the established beliefs. One of the best known intellectual rebels questioning everything established and "written," is the mysterious, and still popular teacher referred to by many as "Jesus."
Approximately 2000 years ago, he was openly practicing civil disobedience against Judaic law in Palestine as he attempted to set people free from Judaism and its ongoing, organized, patriarchal hegemony. Striving against Judaic masculine hegemony, he was elevating the status of women while also questioning the very identity of the God of Israel, whom he referred to in the Gospel of John as "a liar, a murder, and the devil." He was urging people to "go within," and he spoke instead of a different God of love.
One might wonder how Christianity grew so brutally distant from the original teachings of love, but in careful reading one finds that Jesus was not the founder of Christianity. The apostle Paul, a Jewish man who was never a disciple of Jesus, was the founder of Christianity. The hegemony that Jesus sought to end among the Jews, Paul would reestablish among the Gentiles.
Paul's first letters are said to have been written some 20 years after Jesus was no longer appearing and disappearing in Palestine, and Paul's mission included a large amount of damage control in the aftermath of the liberation created by Jesus. Paul, who never met or followed Jesus, traveled throughout the area establishing patriarchal, organized churches based on Judaic hegemony. Paul told the crowds who were still eager to hear about Jesus, that Paul's teachings were the "gospel of Christ," although the earliest known gospel would not be written for another 20 years.
While the disciples did not clearly understand who or what Jesus actually was, Paul would take on this task, explaining first and foremost that he was dead and gone, after having "died for our sins." Intellectual battles raged as others claimed he was not a mere mortal, the crucifixion was fiction, and he was something that could not be fully explained: he simply appeared with no history or background, never once speaking his own name in the gospels. For those who argued that he was "fully human," a nativity would be necessary, and so as the stories were passed from one language into another, he became "the son of Mary." This, however, might have been based upon another simple mistranslation. "Mary," in Aramaic, is a masculine noun meaning "Lord." (1)
Paul's work completely opposed that of Jesus. Paul warned that people should "obey the government" because government is established by God, and everyone who is an authority is a "minister of God," put there by God. (Katherine Harris apparently referred to this when she said, "God is the one who chooses our rulers.") Anyone who resists, warned Paul, resists God. He did not preach liberty, or common sense. He preached obedience, rules, laws, taxes, qualifications, submission to authority, the "wrath of God," and he threatened those committing civil disobedience with "damnation." In complete defiance of the teachings of Jesus, Paul brought Jewish patriarchy, organized religion and the hegemonic God of Israel to the Gentiles in the form of Christianity, changing the message of Jesus from "go within," to "go to church." (2) (3)
Sixty years ago, the Jewish described Palestine as a barren, empty place. It was, they said, a "Land Without People for a People Without a Land." The world believed this, and the new "state of Israel" was created within Palestine, in May, 1948, to help God fulfill "his Word." The Chosen then wrote the following promise. The State of Israel: "will foster the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants; it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of the United Nations." (5)
With the world apparently satisfied by this, Israel then commenced to carry out something quite different from their most recent written promise. We would later learn that this land was far from being "barren." The Holy Land had been cared for and inhabited by Palestinians since ancient history. To remedy this, it would now be necessary for the Jewish to become an invading military force in order to brutally take the land from hundreds of thousands of Palestinian land owners, and then claim this stolen land as their new Jewish-Only state as promised by God through the pen of Ezekiel.
The slaughter of the Palestinians "in the name of God" began in 1948 in order to artificially fulfill a so-called Jewish prophecy. The new Jewish-Only state would be comprised of hundreds of unconnected country club neighborhoods scattered like holes punched throughout the otherwise peaceful, contiguous villages, pastures and orchards of Palestine. These new Jewish-Only neighborhoods dotting the Palestinian countryside would be referred to as "settlements," and the Jewish-Only from all other countries on earth would be invited to come populate the "settlements," and live, vacation or help kill a few Palestinians. There has not been a day of peace since God's New Real Estate Plan was put into action in order to fulfill "The Word of God," by those who wrote it.
