NAZIOCCU.TXT Blavatsky identified each cycle in the history of the universe with the emergence of a new race; depending on the phase of the cycle in progress a given race represented an advance or decline in spiritual perfection. The original Knight Templars had been a military/ religious order founded after the First Crusade to maintain Christian control of the Holy Land. In 1933 Wiligut was brought to the attention of Himmler by an SS officer who had been a member of the ONT. Himmler appointed Wiligut to the SS Race and Settlement Main Office and eventually gave him the rank of SS Brigadier. www.ewtn.com /library/NEWAGE/NAZIOCCU.TXT   (2475 words)

Jaroslav Hasek's Good Soldier Svejk in this translation is a "must read" book - Richard Seltzer He conceived "The Good Soldier Svejk" as a cycle of six novels, but only three of them and a part of the fourth were completed by the time he died of alcoholism at age 40 in 1923. So the two men, reporters in the Chicago bureau of the Voice of America until they lost their jobs recently in a cutback, re-translated "The Good Soldier Svejk" (pronounced shvake) in an "artistic crusade" to elevate its stature. Set in Central Europe during World War I, as the Austro-Hungarian Empire is collapsing, "The Good Soldier Svejk" focuses on a working-class soldier's experiences as he makes his way to the war front. www.zenny.com /svejk/Chicago%20Tribune%20Tempo%20feature.html   (2407 words)

Celtic Monasticism as a Metaphor for Thomas Merton's Journey. Brendan's seven years of voyaging is within the liturgical calendar of the church and through this cycle one is given a strong impression of circling. In his article "From Pilgrimage to Crusade" Merton saw in Celtic pilgrimage that "the external and geographical pilgrimage was...something more than the acting out of psychic obsessions and instabilities. Brendan's voyage to "The Promised Land of the Saints" in holding together the two tensions between the temporal and the eternal also holds together the tension between the external, geographical pilgrimage and the inner pilgrimage or journey. www.thomasmertonsociety.org /celtic.htm   (2407 words)

Druids of Mielikki This makes it seem that Mielikki is doing some divine experiment, letting a group of dedicated, empowered people embark on some vague crusade in her name. Where a druid serves the balance by aiding it in its natural cycle, Mielikki's view has been one of defence and expansion, with a eye to evolution, whether natural or as a result of interference. Mielikki's faith has undergone a series of changes born from the Forest Lady's movement to the Outerplanes. sunsetvale.dfxwebs.com /druids.htm   (1088 words)

OY VEY, JERUSALEM! World War 4 Report This arrangement persisted until Saladin died in 1193 and subsequent Crusades were launched, and the bloody cycle began anew. (Another Balian of Ibelin, lord of Sidon and grandson of Ridley Scott's hero, became regent of this multicultural Jerusalem.) This peace was broken in 1249 when Louis IX of France (St. Louis) launched the Seventh Crusade at papal behest and invaded Egypt, plunging the Holy Land into war once again. In the film, Balian starts out as a lowly French blacksmith, the bastard son of his Crusader father "Godfrey of Ibelin," and follows him to Jerusalem seeking redemption after a personal tragedy. www.ww4report.com /node/451   (13394 words)

The American Film Institute Moments that Mattered 2004 Each film was a personal crusade, with Mel Gibson serving as writer/director/producer of THE PASSION and Michael Moore serving as writer/director/producer of FAHRENHEIT. As it deconstructs the news cycle each night in its humor, THE DAILY SHOW provides a master class in critical analysis, forcing us to question how the news is presented on other channels. The independent film scene continues to flourish in large part because the tools have become more affordable, but what has been lost is the middle ground, where studios support films that can entertain a vast audience with different interests, which is what makes this country so unique. movies.monstersandcritics.com /news/article_3068.php/The_American_Film_Institute_Moments_that_Mattered_2004   (1484 words)

The Middle Ages Jean, sire de Joinville, was 84 when, in 1309, he completed his Histoire de Saint Louis, a flattering biographical portrait of his intimate friend Louis IX, whom he had accompanied on the Seventh Crusade. The Chanson de Roland belongs to the cycle known as the "Geste du Roi," or "Geste of the King," the king being Charlemagne, Roland's uncle, in whose service he perished with the rear guard at Roncevaux. The Arras poet Adam de la Halle composed two unique pieces: Le Jeu de la feuillee ("The Play of the Bower"), a kind of topical revue for his friends, and Le Jeu de Robin et de Marion, a dramatized pastourelle (a knight's encounter with a shepherdess and her friends) spiced with song and dance. www.chosun.ac.kr /%7Emgoh/class/%BF%B5%BC%AD%B1%B8%BD%C3/%BA%D2%B9%AE%C7%D0/middleage.htm   (1104 words)

Ghost of a flea: 7 July 2005 London bombings Reports of an increase in hate crimes following the July 7 massacre suggests the "cycle of violence" of which people speak is not limited to state power acting in the defense of our representative government to which so many take exception. While we can only pray the world never sees what a nuclear-armed crusade looks like it is precisely this spectacle al-Qaeda is trying to provoke. I hope that for all the efforts to understand how young men could be brainwashed into the murder of as many unarmed commuters as their warrior souls can muster, ending their own feeble existence in the process, that effort is also being directed into understanding the rage such attacks inevitably provoke. www.ghostofaflea.com /archives/006045.html   (384 words)

FRIEDRICH A. HAYEK The contention that Hayek's crusade against scientism has consistently informed his substantive work is at least partly in conflict with a recent argument by T. Hutchison, who has sought to establish that Hayek's 1937 article "Economics and Knowledge" marked a sharp change in his methodology towards a "falsificationist" approach to economic science (Hutchison, 1981). Hayek soon came to be a vigorous participant in the debates that raged in England during the 1930s concerning monetary, capital, and business-cycle theories and was a major figure in the celebrated controversies with John Maynard Keynes, Piero Sraffa, and Frank H. Knight. Friedrich August von Hayek (1899-), a central figure in twentieth-century economics and foremost representative of the Austrian tradition, 1974 Nobel laureate in Economics, a prolific author not only in the field of economics but also in the fields of political philosophy, psychology, and epistemology, was born in Vienna, Austria on May 8, 1899. www.auburn.edu /~garriro/e4hayek.htm   (5128 words)

The betrayal and capture of Antioch during the First Crusade Paris 1977; two useful books on the poem are: Sumberg, Lewis A. La Chanson d'Antioche, etude historique et litteraire, Paris 1968; Cook, Robert Francis, "Chanson d'Antioche," chanson de geste: le cycle de la croisade est-il epique? If Antioch, where we have labored so long, surrenders to me, I ask you, for the love of God, if it be your wish, that each of you grant me the city, in the name of God's love. In any event, the poem offers a broader, more complex representation if not of reality, then of imagined experience(1), than chanson de geste characteristically does. www.bu.edu /english/levine/antioch.htm   (113 words)
