In the third episode of our series on first real conspiracy theory we come to the moment you all have been waiting for: occult lodges of Freemasonry and their role in the French Revolution, as depicted by Barruel.
We continue with the introduction to Augustin Barruel's Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism, a veritable historical nucleus of modern conspiracy theory. In this episode we deal with what Barruel calls "Anti-Christian conspiracy", i.e. a push to abolish both political and epistemological domination of religion and metaphysics, embodied in Catholic Church.
We hereby present first in the series of podcasts devoted to arguably the first conspiracy theory, expounded by French secularized Jesuit Auguste Barruel in his voluminous work Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism.
Idea of ‘nation’ as a political community is not a modern idea. But when it is amended by suffix ‘-ism’ there can be no doubt that we are talking about a post 1789., therefore: a modern term.In this audio essay we’ll talk precisely about this modern philosophical, political and ethical paradigm that shaped our age to a great extent, peaking in it’s influence in mid to late 19. century, mainly through activity of secret societies. For this purpose we’ll analyze the ideas of one of it’s greatest prophets, Italian philosophist, conspirator, activist and, presumably, terrorist Giuseppe Mazzini.
Narratives, narratives ... we don't need your stinkin' narratives. As the neighborhood of Kali Tribune's designated parcel of mud is in intellectual ferment and political turmoil, importing it's 4th political theoreticians all the way from US and Mexico, it's time to say a few words about Croatia, Serbia and ignorance of Alternative Media and Western people in general. Some things you cannot prove because they're wrong. Some things you cannot prove because they are obvious. It is obvious that narrative is not the truth and that alternative media coverage of world geopolitics is just media coverage. Nothing more, nothing less.
