Book Review: Julian

by Gore Vidal
Modern Library (1964 – 505 pp.)

August 3, 2006

Imperial Rome in the mid-4th Century A.D. A period disturbingly like our own in many ways. The old republic is long gone, replaced by a corrupt and now decaying empire characterized by frequent political assassinations and intrigue and held together only by continuous battle and imperial conquest. The barbarians are literally at the gates, and a new jewish anti-intellectual philosophy, Christianity, has recently replaced the humanistic Hellenism of the Greeks and early Romans.

Onto this world stage steps one man, the Emperor Julian, who tries to turn back the clock and restore not only the old gods and old temples, but more importantly, the old Greek philosophers. Unfortunately, his reign lasted only two years, as he was struck down by one of his Christian rivals. Who is to say how much differently the ensuing 1,000 years of history would have unfolded had he lived? Might Europe have avoided the Dark Ages which followed Christianity’s burning of not only books, but entire libraries, and its persecution of “heretics” of all stripes? It is not widely appreciated that contained in the Library of Alexandria was a vast amount of scholarship from the classical age which has been lost to the world forever. Thanks, Jesus freaks.

Gore Vidal has taken this larger-than-life historical figure and written an engrossing historical novel that is a tragedy in the true sense of that word. A tragedy is by definition, as Shakespeare so well understood, the story of a great man who falls from a high estate, usually due to his own character flaw. It is not, as American television watchers are so often told, a news item about four niggers getting killed in a car accident. That might be sad, at least for the niggers who knew them, but it can hardly be properly called a “tragedy”.

Unlike Jesus Christ, we know that Julian Augustus lived, for not only did his contemporaries write biographies of his life, but he was himself a prolific essayist and writer, and many of his writings have survived to this day. Vidal thus had a considerable amount of material to work with, and by his own account did much of his research at the library in Rome.

Ironically, Julian never in his life set foot in Rome, as his uncle Constantine had moved the empire’s capital to the east, naming his new city Constantinople after himself. Humble fellow was that first “Christian” emperor Constantine. Julian and his older half-brother, the ill-fated Gallus, were raised in the east in what is now modern Turkey. Their childhood and early adulthood was spent under a constant shadow of fear, for the current emperor, their cousin Constantius, was quite brutal in executing family members he considered to be rivals or potential rivals. The life expectancy of anyone having royal blood in those days was extremely short, but miraculously Julian survived against all odds and at age 30 ascended to the throne. Actually, he was in the process of seizing the throne with his armies, until Constantius fortuitously died of natural causes.

Julian was, by all accounts, a fair and just ruler, but he was by no means a Jeffersonian Democrat. He definitely had imperialistic tendencies, and at times even fancied himself as a reincarnation of Alexander the Great. He could also sometimes be as ruthless as his predecessors in dealing with his enemies, such was the necessity for surviving in power in those brutal times. He considered himself first and foremost a philosopher, yet most of his time was spent in battle as a military leader, first in Gaul and later in the east. He was, in fact, considered a military genius who never lost a battle. The cause of his death is controversial, and Vidal seems to come down on the side of those who say he was killed by his own bodyguard as part of a Christian conspiracy. Ostensibly, he died in battle fighting the Persians.

Hmmm, now that’s a deliciously wicked thought, isn’t it? Too bad our rulers these days are not also generals who have to lead their troops into battle. Can’t you just picture George W. Bush personally commanding the troops invading modern Persia (Iran) just as the Emperor Julian did in ancient Persia? All the while under the constant threat of mutiny, treason and assassination?

But I digress. Vidal has captured the essence of life in the decaying Roman world and has made that remote period in history come alive and feel contemporary. He tells his story through fragments of narrative by Julian himself and the two contemporary philosophers who knew him best, Libanius of Antioch and Priscus of Athens. As with his American historical novels, Vidal sees the world through the eyes of the rich and famous of the period.

Obviously, Vidal is an atheist with no fondness for Christianity, so Julian The Apostate is the perfect protagonist for him. Julian was by no means an atheist, however, and as he comes across in this novel, actually quite superstitious. In spite of his love for Plato, he often consulted soothsayers and performed a lot of animal sacrifices. Strongly influenced by the magician Maximus, he was inducted into one of the many pagan mystery cults still extant. Still he believed that the many Greek and Roman gods were all part of a single whole truth, as represented by Helios, the Sun.

The ending, as befits a tragedy, is hardly upbeat. As his friend Libanius laments, “But what else is there? With Julian, the light went, and now nothing remains but to let the darkness come, and hope for a new sun and another day, born of time’s mystery and man’s love of life.”

Julian is not a novel which will please hardcore Christians. The emperor himself referred to them as “Galileans”, an expression of the contempt he felt for those who worshiped a dead Galilean and believed the sprinkling of water could wipe out all sins. He did, however, unlike the Galileans of his time, believe in religious tolerance. It was truly tragic for the West that his life and reign were cut short so soon.

      Yeah,but Vidal is also a very self-loathing White.Yes,he’s anti-semitic (Which he’s always denied,saying he’s only anti-Israel) , but he’s never hesitated to slam his own race, always ready to blast Us for being so “racist” ,or what a “racist” country this is,just because his ancestors owned a few of the feces-colored savages for slaves( Also,because of his long time friendship with the very homosexual,and highly overrated,black racist “writer”,James Baldwin, with whom he obviously spent a few nights in bed with.).

      So,whatever points he makes that may be right,such overall views,especially from someone of his ilk, are never to be trusted.

    2. GB Says:

      Enjoyed the review. I had not known about this book, thanks for taking the time to review it.

      Most of us are smart enough to discount Vidal\’s politics and still enjoy his wit and insight, like I said \”most of us\”.

    3. Jim Says:

      I read this book about a year ago. I thought it would take me forever because it is a very thick ( long ) book. I finished it in two days. The style in which Vidal writes is so engrossing that you lose track of time. I actually felt like I was there, watching the spectacle unfold before my eyes. In spite of Vidals’ personal life, he does on many occassions say things in public that no one else dares to do. He has written a number of other works critical of Lincoln and the Amerikwan empire. I would highly recommend Julian the Apostate. I consider it the story of one mans’ attempt to stave off the coming Dark Ages.

    4. lawrence dennis Says:

      I have not read any of Vidal’s fiction, but have read numerous of his essays on all manner of topics. Although an iconoclastic aryan genius, he is also a homosexual ‘anti-racist’ and, as he makes plain in his non-fiction, is particularly hostile to Xianity and so frequently aligns himself with atheist jews who ridicule biblical tradition and fight to remove all mention of God in the public sphere. I do not see him as ‘anti-semitic.’ He has worked for a long time beside jews in film and TV. He has close friendships with international jews who spread hatred of whites, such as Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. To me, he epitomizes the modern-day corruption of intellectuals and their self-justifying rationalizations of their own immoral behavior described so clearly by E. Michael Jones. The bible condemns homosexuality in no uncertain terms, so the homosexual condemns the bible as well as those who use it as a moral compass.

      Here is an example: Homosexual actor Ian McKellan physically registers his objection to traditional biblical morality:

      ——————————–

      McKellen Rips the Bible

      Literally. I’ve read a bit about Ian McKellen’s anti-Christian views from press reports of his various movie junkets, but I didn’t see it widely reported that he actually rips pages out Gideon hotel room Bibles.

      ===========

      The next time you’re hanging out in a hotel room killing time before you drift off to sleep, open the room’s complimentary Bible and see if there’s something missing.

      If you find just a frayed stump where Leviticus 18:22 used to be, Ian McKellen may well have laid his head on your overstuffed pillow before you.

      “Whenever I stay in a hotel I always check to see if they have a Gideon Bible, and if they do I tear out a page,” the veteran actor told New York gossipist Baird Jones at the premiere party for the film “Iris,” which stars both Kate Winslet and Judy Dench as the late writer Iris Murdoch. “I turn to Leviticus 18:22 and rip out that page which is directed against homosexuals; it is one of the Leviticus Laws. I don’t know if anyone ever even notices, but I really take exception to that section and I think by now I must have ripped out a few hundred pages.”

    5. A. Says:

      Why bother with a work of fiction. Get stuck into a couple of Julian’s orations instead:

    6. steven clark Says:

      I am a big fan of Vidal, and loved Julian. it is a cool, imposing form of architectural fiction and read it many times. Vidal researched it very thoroughly, and this marked his return to fiction after a decade in TV and movie writing. Books similar to this are CREATION, which deals with the Persian/Greek/Chinese world, and his adaptation of Durrenmatt’s play ROMULUS. Yes, V is not an overt white nationalist, and much of what he says is what I would call homosexual self-loathing, but he agrees with us in a subliminal sense. Anyway, I read the books and overlook the life…something done with more than a few authors. You might be interested in his latest novel, THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, a fantasy that is funny and thoughtful, where a boy from 1939 goes back in time with Grover Cleveland’s wife/mistress to stop WWI. A lot of fun.

    7. Olde Dutch Says:

      Julian was the cheif priest of the Roman army’s barbecue cult. Otherwise known as Mithraism. Itz all a lot of bull.

      Everyone should read Vidal to at least understand the effete jewish & gentile homosexual elite.

    8. lenny Says:

      “a new jewish anti-intellectual philosophy, Christianity…”

      Why does Linder insist on fighting Christianity? Talk about poor strategy and picking the wrong fights. Attack the “liberal” churches, and also (especially) the Catholic Church, but attacking Christianity itself simply turns people away. It also attracts atheistic nihilists, and I dont think any serious social-political movement can succeed if its followers are largely atheistic nihilists. You dont have to like Christianity or be Christian, but attacking it is just poor strategy.

      Also, Christianity is in no way “Jewish”. It is anti-Jewish. Jesus said: “He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. Then answered the Jews, and said unto Him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan…”

    9. jimbo Says:

      yeh…..i should try and get hold of that book eh?
      as per usual, it’ll be ‘out of stock’ in Oz & a bloke’ll have to cool his heels for abt six weeks waiting for it to meander its way here via a slow boat to China or sumthin’

      interesting conundrum here: wasn’t the period from, say, the late sixth century to the late fourteenth century of our era pretty much called THe Dark Ages?

      i seem to remember that the impetus for The Renaissence was the re-discovery of the ancient Latin & Greek texts; previously squirreled away in various monastaries around the place!

      and didn’t The Renaissence signal the beginning of a massive improvement in the lives of ordinary White People while @ the same time marking a general(though gradual) decline in over-all ‘religiousity’?

      the next logical question would be, by inference, what would life have been like for ordinary White People during those Dark Ages if xianity had not appeared and where would White People be now if that was the case?

      I seem to remember that Arcimedes in the second century BC had already made great strides in discovering both differential & integral calculus
      (two of the main building blocks of modern mathematics without which our technological world to-day would be impossible)

      Then we have the like of Hero of Alexander discovering the steam engine and the medical discoveries of Galen,. the Roman physician, which were basically not surpassed until @ least the first half of the twentieth century.

      is it drawing too long a bow to hazard a guess that, if not for the infliction of this nomad-desert-tribe-religion on the White Race that we would now be colonising the stars?

      i reckon there would be @ least some xians reading these blogs….why don’t you tell us all what the positive impacts of your ‘faith’ on the White Race have been?

      ‘Also, Christianity is in no way “Jewish”. ‘

      I have keratoconus (bulging corneas). Perhaps I misread this post. . .Let me go get a quick corneal transplant and take another look.

    12. steven clark Says:

      Jimbo: Yes, the Greeks invented a lot and essentially much of our modern physics is simply re-discovering what they already sketched out. What hurt development of machines was the lack of a research and development center, and when Rome took over, their bureacracy had no interest in science, paving the way for Christian dogma. Imagine if Christianity had come in the XXth century, and it developed in the Soviet Union, and you’ll see what I mean. I think Christianity took a bad rap in many ways…they saved what they could of Roman civilization (with their own take on it, of course), and we can’t deny the religion’s systematic explanation for human behavior that appealed to many…much like Ptolomey’s cosmography, while stopping much scientific inquiry, did offer western man a comprehensive view of the universe. Rome wasn’t able to fight off the barbarians, nor adapt to their Germanic tribe’s incursions except by buying them off bit by bit. A book you might like is LEST DARKNESS FALL, a funny sci-fi novel where a modern academic tries to save Rome and keeps facing bureaucrats, barbarians, and etc. Aleaxandria had the world’s best library, and its works were destroyed. First a partial fire by Julius Caesar when he attacked the city, then it went down for good when the Moslems took over. If the works could have been copied and dispersed, who knows? At least the monks did that with a lot of manuscripts.

    13. Olde Dutch Says:

      Many historians think that the Eastern Emperor Justinian did more lasting damage to Western Civilization when he drove the Goths out of Italy, North Africa, and much of Spain in the 6th century. More damage than any barbarian.

    14. Carpenter Says:

      An interesting story, I had never heard of Julian before!

      A warning to all of us: those who claim religion is a miracle cure, that it unites and defends, better explain why Constantinople today is ruled by Turks.

      Without Christianity, the slaves venting their hatred on their betters, we would have had a pantheon of gods. There would have been no turn-the-other-cheek philosophy, making Westerners feel guilty about colonial conquest, forcing us to come up with religious conversion and uplifting of the heathens as a rationale for expansion, which rationale taken to its logical conclusion led to the dismantling of the empires once the heathens were duly uplifted.

      The Chinese have never needed a fanatic monotheism to survive, and neither have the Japanese or the Hindus. The Mongol Empire and the Persian Empire were created without monotheism. The Greek city states flourished without monotheism. Yes, Julian had every reason for wanting to abolish fanatic slave morality.

      When Christianity came, the more natural Mithraism was also expanding. Those who say you need one religion to unite all, and say that only Christianity was there to do the job, always seem to forget that fact. Mithraism was founded when astronomers noticed a shift in the star constellations of the zodiac (the Bull and other animals), and attributed the shift to the birth of a new and powerful god. Mithraism was a religion that like most religions celebrated strength. Without slave morality, Mithras would have mixed with other gods in a relaxed pick-your-poison pantheon, like always, and people could have spent their energy thinking of more important things than religion.

      re: ‘steven clark’

      dunno if yr a xian or not?
      but: OK….sure: the monastaries actually did preserve a lot of ancient and useful texts….but was this due to overally xian ‘policy’ or simply the particular idiosyncratic cultural sensibilities of individual abbots who were, after all, more or less ‘kings’ of their own little domains?
      however, medieval xianity in particular must take a ‘bad rap’ because of this ‘celibacy’ malarkey which stifled the reproductive potential of Aryans and because it believed and, of course, still does believe in the fallacious and fiendish doctrine of ‘all men are created equal’ when, clearly, all ‘men’ are not equal in any way, shape or form: spiritually, morally, intellectually, psychologically or physically.
      Admittedly, the Romans weren’t quite as pro-science as they could have been but wasn’t this attitude changing after, say, the second century current era when the origianl militaristic nationalism/survival-at-all-costs mentality was wearing off?……in fact, i mark the decline of this attitude and the beginning of a new, more enlightened and rational era as the start of the Flavian dynasty dating roughly from Vespasian’s/Titus’ conquest of the yoos in 68 current era or when-ever!
      interestingly, Rome’s woes seem to stem from not long after that event…..@ least: the decline was well in place by the end or the third century current era…..coincidentally with the rise of xianity…..
      correlation, of course, does not necessarily imply causation but, in this particular case, the influx of this yoo-generated philosophy was like the injection of a deadly pathogen into the blood-stream of an organism.
      You need to see an old movie from the 1950s called ‘Quo Vadis?’ (an adaptation of the book of the same name!)
      There is a very interesting scene in that movie where a Roman centurion (‘Marcus’, i think his name was, from memory) confronts the so-called ‘apostle’ Paul (who, in the movie, looks exactly like the archetypal repulsive yid) and says:‘I don’t know what it is. But there is some-thing about this new `religion` that strikes at the very heart of being a Roman. I think that this new belief is more dangerous than any German tribe!’

      The fact remains, that @ about the end of the second century current era, the White Race looked like entering into a glorious new era what with the Pax Romana and @ least some definite scientific progress being made. A Golden Age looked like dawning and, then, suddenly, within virtually a generation, it all went ‘pear-shaped’ Why?

      It’s true that there may be some veracity to some of the xian claims but is it not equally true that the whole schamozzle has been manipulated and twisted by the invidious kike almost from Day 1 to serve the sinister ends of kikes? OTW: how do you explain nearly 1000yrs of Dark Ages during which the creative genius of the White Race was stifled?

      I think Adolf Hitler, arguably the greatest White Man who ever lived, was
      ‘on the money’ when he said: “democracy and bolshevism are the bastard off-spring of christianity!”

    16. Outis Says:

      Vidal aside, of what worth is Julian? A young emperor artificially resurrects the old gods: reminds one of Himmler and his pagan parties at Ye Olde Wewelsburg, or “Baron” Evola’s pedantic scribblings.

    17. alex Says:

      Some interesting stuff on Julian from E. Michael Jones in the September 2004 number of Culture Wars magazine:

      …Julian invented Kulturkampf, a millennium nad a half before Bismarck put the idea in effect by firing the Catholic teachers from the Gymnasium in Braunsberg. …Julian banned all Christian teachers from the schools, but he did it in a way that made it seem he was implementing a politically neutral program of educational reform. [Julian was member of ‘secret society’ of Mithra (naked in trenches, bull’s blood showered over you), and he followed the exoteric/esoteric approach – tell the mass-morons one thing, the inner elect another. Key is the “appearance of neutrality” but the reality of discrimination. As the jews do today with nearly all their public calls – think ‘tolerance,’ ‘diversity,’ which conceal loxist genocide. Neutral in form, one-sided in application.]

      Note this:

      When Rome was a republic, the state bowed to the will of the paterfamilias in educational matters. In De republica Cicero claimed that Romans “had never wished for any system of education for free-born youths that was either definitely fixed by law or officially established or uniform for all.” …the situation…began to change as the government began to subsidize the schools. … Financial support of the school was received in exchange for the schools’ allegiance to the regime. The corruption of Roman education corresponded to the corruption of American education as ratified by Supreme Court decisions like Lemon v. Kurtzman.

      Julian articulated the position the church would eventually take on jews:

      No one was to harm them, but they were to be given no position of cultural influence, lest they use it to engage in blasphemy and the corruption of morals.

      You will see that the church did not take a hard enough line on the kikes, and in due process was subverted by them. Imagine a pope of old kissing the kikes’ ass the way every single pope does today.

      Julian only lived to be 32. Most of his family was killed when he was very young by…Christians. Hence his hatred of them. He was raised a Christian but concealed his real religion – Mithraism – until he took power.

    18. Big Bawana Says:

      I discovered Gore Vidal’s series of historical novels during the 1970s while serving in the military.

      I was raised in the Rapture Cult and was still solidly influenced by it in those days, so it took an open mind and an appreciation for good prose to hook me on Vidal. I knew he was both liberal and homosexual, but I appreciated his first-rate mind and habit of bucking established history… and authority.

      I especially enjoyed “Julian”. I found myself admiring the young emperor and siding with his cause despite the fact that he was so strongly hostile to Christianity — which I still professed to believe at that time. Incidentally, at the time Julian ascended to power the Roman Empire was losing territory on all fronts. During his short time in power, he brilliantly defeated one foreign threat after another. At the time of his death, Rome controlled more territory than it had ever controlled in its history. Julian probably postponed the collapse of the Roman Empire by perhaps a hundred years.

      “Burr”, Vidal’s examination of the life of Aaron Burr was another great read. So was “1876”.

      While I certainly cannot applaud Vidal’s homosexuality, or his liberal streak, he is a brave man, and a man of principle. He has become a frequent critic of Jewish power and influence in the US. He’s honest and has a sense of honor, the kind that was once common a hundred years ago but that has become very rare among white elites during the past 50 years.

      Vidal is a suprisingly good read. Not as good as David Irving, but still well worth spending time with.

    19. van helsing Says:

      Killed by Christians or by jews posing as…

      Julian is interesting but he had his own issues.

    20. Sehnsucht nach dem Reich Says:

      You all along with Rich Brooks and probably Gore Vidal (I haven’t read the book) presuppose something what is clearly wrong: That Julius could have saved “Rome” (and with it the civilisation the Greeks and Rome has created), if he would have lived longer and would have established the Roman Gods as official Gods at Byzantium.

      You seem to suffer under a linguistic confusion. The Aryan Rome, of which we think when we use the word “Rome”, was long gone when Julian ascended the throne in Byzantium, although this empire used the same name for its self-identification. I am not a great fan of Spengler but it is one of the best parts of his famous book where he shows that Byzantium was the centre of a completely different culture than Aryan Rome, with a different art, different mathematics etc. Spengler was no racist (a major shortcoming besides his even greater shortcoming of overlooking the jews) and so he didn’t name the main difference was that the bulk of people in the real Rome were Aryan and in Byzantium not. So it was inevitable that both empires had a different culture (although it remains a tricky subject how race and culture interplay). Byzantium had not much to offer in terms of science and culture, that is why we had the so-called dark ages.

      And because the bulk of people in Byzantium were Semites it was quite natural that they adopted a Semite religion, namely Christianity, which was established with a Semitic fanatism, Think of the insane hair-splitting about the nature of Trinity between the different sects! Julian’s adoption of the Roman Gods was a short aberration. But if Julius would have had succeeded with his religious reform the religion would have been modified to please the racial soul of the Semites. There would have been insane hair-splitting about the properties and the relations of the various Gods. In the same way the Aryans have transformed an alien religion, namely Christianity, at least sometimes, according to their needs. Although it is hard to do, Christianty can be transformed to a useful religion for us as Codreanu with his Iron Guard in Romania showed.

      I am not a Christian, I deem it as as slave religion, but I think that it is irrational to blame Christianity for the dark centuries that followed the demise of Rome. The Aryan Rome and with it ancient civilisation went under through Race mixing a long time before Contantine took power. But as it is now the case in the Kwa the race mixing was only a smptom of a disease. We know the name of the disease of the Kwa, it is Judaism. And there is quite a lot of evidence that the same disease has brought down Rome. And the main weapon of the Jews was not Christianity but their money system. But that is a different topic.

      Finally I want to add that Julian should probably not be considered as an hero but as a villain. That the pervert Gore Vidal portraits him as a hero should make everybody suspicious. If Olde Dutch is right, he was a slayer of the Goth, our kinsmen. And if Antiochus Epiphanes at VNNF is right, then he was some sort of Zionist, because he wanted to built a temple for the Jews in Zion. (I haven’t checked these claims and I doubt anyway that one can be positive about most events in ancient history, because the Jews and also often medieval monks were compulsive liars).

      The disdain of Christianity shouldn’t blind you in your judgment.

    21. jimbo Says:

      good points, as per usual, from ‘Sehnsucht nach dem Reich’

      when, approximately, did the decline of Rome begin?

      i put it some-time after 100 current era……abt the time of the Flavian Dynasty.

      most informed WNs already know it was caused by race-mixing.

      again: most informed WNs would know that the yoos controlled the finances of the state (as they always have and still do!)

      however: it takes much more than mere manipulating of the purse strings to sink a culture….it requires an active attack on the cultural organism it-self

      i borrow a phrase from F J P Veale’s ‘Advance to Barbarism’: “any society which allows its basic foundational principles to be examined, critiqued and rejected is doomed!” Veale was quoting from some-one else….can’t remember who now….but it begs the question of who or what attacked the basic Aryan principles of Rome and, hence, engendered its ultimate fall?

      it also begs the question how or why the Aryan European nations that remained after the fall of Rome…..still had to endure almost 1000 years of dark-ness?!

      the Aryan raison d’être is ‘per adua ad astra’ (through difficulties to the stars!)
      what sinister force was holding back Aryan destiny for that blighted millenium?
      the strongest social force during that time was un-doubtedly xianity.
      i think that’s pretty much beyond dispute.
      therefore, shouldn’t the blame be laid fairly and squarely @ its feet?
      sure: they may well be some beneficial tenets associated with this belief.
      how-ever, it was almost certainly infiltrated, utilised and exploited by the jews to further their anti-Aryan agenda.
      not content with the fall of Rome, they were clearly now intent on doing what-ever damage they could to the life-force of the White Race!
      so: what? they’ve picked xianity?
      would they have done that if there was NOT some inherent weak-ness or rotten-ness about that belief that leant it-self to such a programme?
      and, as current events demonstrate time after time, has it not NOW been so corrupted and infiltrated that it is basically use-less AFA having any beneficial impact on the White Race?!, irrespective of what it was like originally…which cannot now be gauged accurately any-way, because of the passage of time….but: to lend it-self so readily to the jew must mean that it could never have been up to much!

    22. alex Says:

      EMJ says Julian allowed the jews to rebuild their temple, as he thought this would accomplish one of his ends, I forget which. Anyway, they tried to build the temple and God caused fire to bust out from underneath the foundation, killing a bunch of workers, and causing the jews to give up. I kid you not. Well, it wouldn’t be christian if it were true.

    23. Sehnsucht nach dem Reich Says:

      The famous Jewish historian Graetz says of Julian:

      “the period of government by Julian, which lasted just two years (November 361 to June 363), was a time of extreme felicity for the Jews of the Roman Empire.”

      The Jewish-Castilian Encyclopaedia states under the word “Julian” the following:

      “He particularly valued the Jews. He had extensive knowledge of the Jewish cause and refers in his writings to various religious institutions of the Jews. It appears that he wished to found among the Jews of Palestine a Patrician Order (called “Aristoi” in the Talmud), which was to exercise judicial functions. He attributed a higher value to Judaism than to Christianity, although he regarded it as inferior to the pagan philosophy. With his death, the short period of tolerance [Jews are very tolerant people, we all know that] was at an end, which the Jewish community enjoyed between the setting-in of Christian persecutions.

      These are reasons enough not to join the Julian-fan-club.

      Gore Vidal is evidently writing ZOG propaganda, as everybody should suspect, since he was always a darling of the media, although he might lost a bit of the limelight in the last years, because he is too intelligent for the brainwashed general public.

      I have read some interviews with him and found him rather dishonest. He would never tell who realy works behind the scenes, although he certainly knows it, because his family has been belonging to the political establishment for a very long time (he is related to Al Gore).

      All historical novels nowadays are ZOG propaganda. All historical movies are ZOG propaganda too, of course. Everybody who thinks, he can gain an easy access to history through these artefacts, is deluded.

      Rich Brooks might be a nice guy, I like his website whitealert.com, but he should do some research before he writes his pieces, which are always superficial.

      Jimbo is correct. Christianity has set the White race back AT LEAST a thousand years.
