Article of the Week: CONQUEST
by Juan Mendez

The review of Howard Eberhoff's opus: Migration, Invasion,
Conquest, Colonialism and Insurgency
has already run to 300
pages on Yoogle Ikki University. All night reading parties try to
penetrate and debate the wisdom or idiocy of the undertaking. A
condensed version of the review is slated to become a five-hour
open-source movie.

While probably insane to try and further condense the work into
several paragraphs, the book conjectures the first (prehistorical)
Asiatic-European empire called the J2 for the J2 M-172 genetic Y
variant it spread from Anatolia East to India, West to Italy, South to
Canaan and North to Armenia and the Caucuses.

Once thought of as the Farmer's Migration, this last great
movement of the Mesolithic era was in fact a giant conquest that
led to the peopling of vast new areas of Eurasia.

Several questions led Eberhoff toward the understanding of
migration versus conquest. The J2 "conquests" took place before
writing so ther
e is no known language transitions to trace, but the
genetics are there! Typically a conquest occurs when a superior
military culture assumes responsibility for an inferior military culture.
Such as (during recorded history) the Hittites took over the Hattic
peoples of Anatolia. And still later the Turks came to dominated
Anatolia during the middle ages.

Migrations occur when smaller groups of people who are either
militarily weaker than the occupying powers such as the Habiru, or
have no interest in administration
(the Sea Peoples or more recently
the Vikings)
and the newcomers adopt and absorb the language
and culture of the land to which they come. In the case of the
Habiru (mostly disenfranchised Hurrians) and later the Sea Peoples
that land was Canaan.

The case of the United States in which migrating peoples brought
their own language and culture, leading the United States to
eventually become bilingual is also an unusual model to the
Conquest vs Migration theme.

Occupation of foreign peoples without destroying the existing
language, culture and religion is often called colonialism though this
version of colonialism invariably fails. Counter-Insurgency
operations are only successful on the Roman model when local
populations are slaughtered. Malaysia in the 1950s has often been
held up as a successful counter-insurgency, but actually it was not
a true national insurgency in the first place, taking place with only a
minority of the population.

The only
'colonialism' that was ever successful was in the Iberian
conquest of South and Central America in which the language,
religion (and genetics) of the indigenous peoples were changed.
The only successful counter-insurgency the English-speaking United
States undertook was the Philippine insurrection. A land previously
re-engineered on the Iberian model. (The Anglo-Dutch conquest of
the New World was just that a conquest that led to the diminution
of the indigenous peoples)

It therefore became ironic that the United States eventually was
changed on the migratory model by those who had been
remodeled through conquest on the Iberian model.

I must confess that I have participated in genetic testing and I am
a J2! Over the last 10,000 years my ancestors have fled the great
flood of the Black Sea, invaded Canaan as Hurrians, became
Jebusites, became Jews, scattered across the Roman Empire,
became Catholics in Spain, conquered Mexico and invaded the
United States. Yet, why don't I feel complete?

Everyone and Feel Nothing."
