Stalinist Linguistics -Rave essay

Rave up essay read- well don’t read and please delete it doesn’t belong here or anywhere- author. Linguistic Stalinism- When in the late 1920s the Soviet Republics of the Caucasus and Central Asia were in formation stage linguistics was a major issue and even if Stalin- Real name Iosef Dushgashvili – was not the direct brilliance behind what happened he most certainly had input and by his will ensured that the process continued going into the early to mid 50s with Chinese as well! What I am talking about is what I have discovered just opening a few pages of a totally unrelated to this book. ‘Biblical Hebrew’ Page H Kelley. Or if you were to go down to your local mosque and told the brothers there you wanted to learn Arabic you would encounter the same thing…. What? Well when a person begins to learn a major language such as Arabic which could potentially unite and make as a single force the people using that language stretching from the Iran border to the Atlantic coast line of North Africa. Or in the case of Turkish from Mongolia north of Beijing through to Turkey- the whole of anything you wanted to call Asia to the north- or Central Asia. These potential empire building languages common to tens of millions and potentially hundreds of millions of people… and instead… Linguistic Stalinism, which is from day one of any teaching program for brand new to the language students or for kindergarten toddlers you teach them the most optional and irrelevant- liable to confuse making rules where there are no rules; Odd ways of handling the language which are not the least bit natural- You do that from the very first lesson. Thus going to Arabic as taught in the Mosque. No one wants you to actually understand the Arabic words of the Quran as Muhammed recited them- Why? Well some of the things he said we contradictory silly and blasphemous in the case of the Satanic verses. Being able to rip apart the Quran and see how poorly it as a would be theological document is not the goal for the non Arab visiting the mosque to hear what a Wonderful man Muhammed was despite taking a nine year old girl as a wife and getting his adopted son to divorce his wife so that Muhammed could take her as well- who was his cousin. No La Lo… So what lies ahead you if you go to a mosque to learn Arabic is weeks on weeks on weeks of learning to pronounce with the most appalling mid Arabia accent- that Arabic- pronunciation; And recognizing and making the sounds reading the current Arabic script as found in the Quran and then it is on to reading the Quran without comprehension so that it can be- the sounds of the Quran- recited without comprehension…. And just a couple of chapters into ‘Biblical Hebrew’ similar sort of nonsense. Making sounds without comprehension or understanding being steered off in the wrong direction so as not to understand why people have gone before to make rules that destroy access to truth- Even in the Hebrew Bible! Therefore going back to Central Asia- the capacity to have all the people in the South of USSR including a large chunk of what is now China- have all these people reading the same newspaper and working together using the one speak- Turkish –able to relate together going into Afghanistan, China and Turkey- Moscow worked that could not Must Not ever happen so invented lots of linguistic rules and tricks to such as having some more or less identical languages read using a modified Arabic script the next door place read using a Roman script then the next using a Greek/Russian style script anything….. Let me illustrate it this way. One of the most important things Jesus gave to the entire world was the ‘Peace be upon you blessing’ You can search ancient Hebrew and ancient Arabic literature and you cannot find it. You can search as well Christian writings and conclude that it comes from Luke 10. So the world three great one god religions all share the most powerful blessing or turned around curse an apostle can utter… And I was listening to a Gather Homecoming DVD and dumb no nothing of Israel Americans- God Bless them were singing a Hebrew song. Pretty simple. No drama- sounded Hebrew just a couple of words- Actually these words a of the Greeting of Peace invented by Jesus and given to his apostles to use in missionary work. They were singing the Islamic Arabic –Salem Alykum except they had the thick Hebrew pronunciation of the same words such that people would swear to you they were singing Hebrew NOT Arabic… whatever- switching from Arabic to Hebrew and Hebrew to Arabic same word same meaning OK you want to make a thousand different rules so you can claim that you have an entirely different language and that Arabic and Hebrew are not one and the same most of the time- Your Problem! Thus Linguistic Stalinism is the process by which similar/same want to need to work together language- dialects of a language- need to reunite and if they do reunite will become a massive political force for millions of people; Instead Linguistic Stalinism is the process of ensuring that The Truth will never be discovered. People will never speak to each other because rules taught to language babies ensure that from the outset there is pride in emphasizing and creating differences which honest Don’t Matter, but tell the zealot beginner student that –they well get angry and hit you in the face because stressed to the max they just devoted weeks of their life to learning nonsense which adds not much to the actual language if they ever get to a point of fluency in it- which most likely they won’t! – Chinese- Written Chinese- all the characters and so on. Arabic Turkic Hebrew. I have worked through these languages and scripts .. without rule books without teachers just seeing how the languages work and finding along the way intuitive things a professor could put into words- things which are deliberately never taught at the outset but if they were taught at the outset- the languages would be no stress quite easy even when with 80,00 different characters it would appear to be utterly impossible- Why am I saying this? That I give a fig about language learning- I don’t! No my concern is the super powerful kick back to the simple basic process of computerizing the bible so that any average above IQ 120 person can build a list of best fit word in their language into the platform and have very quickly in much less than a year a workable bible translation. And if better understanding of a Hebrew or Greek concept emerges a change to a word can change the entire translation where that word occurs- Mechanical Translation making the translation and understanding of the bible a common person activity… And since 1860 we have had the resources to do that task, and since 1960 when computers were coming along and the Dead Sea Scroll s and shown that the Official Bible based on a deliberately compromised Septuagint made all current bibles- my translations God forbid the only one which is not! All current translations of the Hebrew text- Redundant! Hence the Computerized Bible has been a concept thought about and worked on since the 1960s. From my point of view- Hey if I can do it- it must be easy- I left school at 17! From my point of view 18 months of a team working with dedication would produce a computer platform which everyone would use… Why because just working by myself I have done 80% of what needs to be done… Well instead We Can worship Stalin for giving us the process by people come up with hundreds of rules so that the simple obvious instead becomes witchcraft complex. Sure I like Stalin. I like his Christian daughter, I like the Dushgashvili family- Great people. But Nah Putting dots around Hebrew letters just so Arabic La becomes Lo and just so Arabic Salam becomes Shalom… I am not into that. If someone had put into the Hebrew Bibles dots on letters so that the word Seed becomes Arm- Hey that is your problem! The word Evil can read Companion. Well when I am in an Evil situation I need as a reader of the Hebrew Bible to have “Companion’ and yes the same word can mean ‘shepherd’ Well in the valley of the shadow of death sure I can see it is Evil but Jesus save me I need with me The Companion who if I read and translate another way is My shepherd. Rules stop me from finding Jesus in the bible- throw away the rules and Death to Linguistic Stalinism making up rules to stop what god is gonna do when he smashes our carefully constructed religious empires Good Night!
