Barbarism against Civilization!
Boukan News, 03/13/2025 – Barbarism may have its genesis in the story of Satan leading a cohort of bad angels to fight for the control of heaven, ruled by God. Under the commandment of Archangel St Michel and his associates Raphael and Gabriel, they succeed in matting Satan and his followers. They were chased from the firmament with all their power and assumed control of the earth, converting most men and women on their way to barbarism.
Since than being evil and acting like a monster has been the way for leaders to treat their subjects and for the subjects to treat each other. For example, during the Roman Empire, the best distraction enjoyed by most people was the killing by ferocious animals of human beings, usually slaves or prisoners in the stadium. We witness later religious wars that caused the death of millions of people for the simple reason of disagreeing in the way of honoring God.
Columbus stumbling into Haiti in looking for spice on the way to India, exterminated all the indigenous Taino, one million, who habited the island before. Under the pretext of saving the Taino a massive enslavement of 400 million people of African descent for the next 300 years for the benefit of white slave holders took place.
But the decolonization that followed the destruction of the British and Spanish and American empires was only a façade to subject the new nations to crude exploitation of their resources forcing their citizen to seek solace in the very metropolitan that abuse them in the first place.
The freedom fighters of the new nations have been converted into new tyrants that not only made the bidding for the oppressors but wasted the resources of their country in personal and venal expenses for themselves and their family.
I had the privilege of visiting recently the Yale Club of New-York, I was in awe of the solemnity and the decorum of the building where alumni, mostly white male, were living in a nirvana replete with old money and the accumulation of wealth left by the elders. Their pictures adorned most of the walls. This is to tell you that true wealth is the product of several generations. You feel the weight of a civilized place, compared with the barbarism of burning or selling the legacy left by the previous generations.
I am speaking of experience because I am fighting with my siblings to preserve and uplift the acquisition of the previous generations for the new ones. In my country (Haiti) under the pretext of living together, the bandits practice barbarism in killing without mercy, babies, woman, men, and burning most institutions.
It is true they have been treated like animals by the ruling class, but the solution to this dilemma is more civilization with no more ghettos, no more uneducated people.
By contrast, civilization may have its genesis in the gesture of Abel offering to God his best sheep in thanksgiving while barbarism is demonstrated in his killing by his brother Cain claiming he has no control over his life.
Civilization can be traced later in the edits of King Hammurabi of Mesopotamia/Iraq resembling the 10 commandments received by Moses for good conduct by humanity. The rest of the world with the exception of Greece and Croatia where philosophers like Plato, Socrates and Aristotle submitted essays for living a good life, was in a state of chaos where barbarism was the rule.
Jesus Christ, God made man by the operation of the Holy Ghost in Mary womb is the supreme teacher of civilization on earth. His instructions like let the children come to me because the kingdom of God resembles them, or you should love thy God as you love thy neighbor.
In the end, will Satan prevail and hold most of humanity in barbarism? I am feeling the hands of God are putting things in place and bringing more civilization on earth.
