Chapter 4 - The Uncircumcised Land





      Steve conceded that this statement that China has the potential to become the light of hope for mankind, can't be easily explained as it requires that a whole lot of other things be explained first, which are not easily explained either.

      "Try to explain them," I said to him. "For starters, why do you think the Chinese are more advanced, and more open to progress than the USA is? Sure, they have a 5000-year cultural history, while the European cultural history that defines the American culture only goes back a few hundred years. In this sense we are a new country. But have we not been the world-leaders in science and technology for a long time already, which the Chinese have yet to build themselves up to? We were 'the light on the hill' for a century. We have inspired the world. When we stood on the mountain top China was in chaos. China was almost colonized by the British at the time. It was nearly destroyed as a nation by the British Opium slavery, while we put slavery on the plate to be eradicated. It is only now, after China kicked the empire out, that China is beginning to recover itself as a nation. So, with all that considered China isn't a model of virtue and economic miracles. Why then do you see in it a new beacon of hope?"

      "You know very well what my reasoning is," said Steve quietly. "It isn't that China is the shining light. The reason is that the light has gone out in the world everywhere else. And that takes us back to what the ancient Egyptians started."

      "You mean the circumcision," I commented.

      Steve nodded. "Civilization is a fragile thing," he said in a hushed voice as if this was a secret. "America is fast loosing its civilization. At the beginning of the century we had on average only one out of six people circumcised in the USA, now we have only one out of six remaining whole. That's more than a five-fold increase in less than a century. We are now 70% to 80% circumcised, even more so in some areas. Of course America has had a short history of this. In many areas of the world the circumcision rate is 100% with a history going back millennia. This is a problem that has never been healed. It has festered like an unhealed disease and has gotten worse. It is now affecting much of the world. So tell me, where should I go as a scientist to find a secure place? Where can I work to develop a cure for this 'disease' that threatens civilization and causes the insanity of war, before it kills us all? The West is not a safe place anymore. The empire is built on the circumcision and promotes it, and has disabled America with it. It breeds the disease. The masters of empire promote the circumcision as a means for creating a zoo of 'better' slaves. It has victimized so much of mankind already that one hardly sees any hope for it. Africa is thick with it too. That is why Africa is in a mess. The Muslim world is similarily victimized by it and has become a tragic figure by its debilitations. Russia too, is heavily infiltrated by it. The Jewish culture has lived with the circumcision with near 100% compliance, going back to ancient times, and has been tragically persecuted for it. Tragedies and the circumcision seemed to be married to each other, and the world is suffering. The world needs to be healed. Just look around you Peter, the most unstable cultures on the planet are all circumcised cultures. That's the one thread that ties them all together. Even the attacks of piracy on the world's shipping lanes follows this pattern. The piracy is concentrated along the world's major circumcision belt stretching from the Philippines and Indonesia all the way to Nigeria and Ghana, with Somalia and the Gulf of Aden being the central hub. And this is just an indication of the kind of things that happen in the background of the circumcision. One really has to look far and wide to find an unaffected culture. As a scientist I need to have a stable environment to develop solutions for the needed healing of mankind. This isn't an issue of any specific culture of religion. It is a universal issue that is affecting the entire planet. Cultures that are not mutilated are hard to find."
