HISTORY’S FOGOTTEN BRAVEHEART <strong>13</strong>5History’s Forgotten BraveheartUnbek<strong>no</strong>wnst to <strong>the</strong>m, he stood <strong>the</strong>re as motionless as a statue, star<strong>in</strong>g at <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong>tently with a fixed andseem<strong>in</strong>gly determ<strong>in</strong>ed gaze. He eyed <strong>the</strong> enemy with <strong>the</strong> same resolute stare that any revolutionarydoes, call<strong>in</strong>g to m<strong>in</strong>d <strong>the</strong> wrongs that had been <strong>in</strong>flicted upon his <strong>in</strong><strong>no</strong>cent countrymen, and <strong>the</strong> justicethat <strong>the</strong>y as victims deserved <strong>in</strong> br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>gs back <strong>in</strong>to balance. He knew <strong>the</strong>re could be <strong>no</strong> go<strong>in</strong>g backonce <strong>the</strong> deed was done, and that by throw<strong>in</strong>g down this gauntlet, he would beg<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> war for<strong>in</strong>dependence for which his people had been wait<strong>in</strong>g more years than <strong>the</strong>y could remember. He <strong>no</strong>ddedhis head slightly, as if to ack<strong>no</strong>wledge that he had made up his m<strong>in</strong>d, and turn<strong>in</strong>g towards his men whohad arrived with him, <strong>in</strong>dicated to <strong>the</strong>m with a facial expression that <strong>the</strong>y should pay attention to whatwas about to take place. As he started off, one of his men, made uneasy by what he suspected was aboutto occur, asked him with just a h<strong>in</strong>t of nervousness <strong>in</strong> his voice “What are you go<strong>in</strong>g to do?” And despitehis <strong>no</strong>t say<strong>in</strong>g anyth<strong>in</strong>g, never<strong>the</strong>less <strong>the</strong>y all understood his answer by virtue of <strong>the</strong> language <strong>in</strong> hisbody movements. The answer that he did <strong>no</strong>t give, but which <strong>the</strong>y never<strong>the</strong>less understood quite wellwas <strong>the</strong> same response given by <strong>the</strong> Scottish patriot William Wallace <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> movie Braveheart beforerid<strong>in</strong>g off to meet <strong>the</strong> English envoy, which simply was, “I’m go<strong>in</strong>g to pick a fight.”A m<strong>in</strong>ute later, <strong>in</strong> an event which was to alter <strong>the</strong> course of human history, he fashioned a whip out ofsometh<strong>in</strong>g he had found along <strong>the</strong> way, and drove those out of <strong>the</strong> Temple who had desecrated itshol<strong>in</strong>ess through <strong>the</strong>ir love of money and ambitious designs. History had just been made, and a majorshift <strong>in</strong> mank<strong>in</strong>d’s dest<strong>in</strong>y had <strong>no</strong>w taken place.The event had caused a good deal of commotion, and as such did <strong>no</strong>t escape <strong>the</strong> <strong>no</strong>tice of those whosemoney went fly<strong>in</strong>g end over end with <strong>the</strong> turn<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> tables. Many profits had been lost that day as aresult of this vigilante’s actions, just one <strong>in</strong> a series of fights he would pick dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> course of <strong>the</strong> weekaga<strong>in</strong>st <strong>the</strong> powers that be. To him, <strong>the</strong>re was <strong>no</strong> gray area when it came to deal<strong>in</strong>g with his adversary,<strong>no</strong>r were <strong>the</strong>re any k<strong>in</strong>d, diplomatic words to be found <strong>in</strong> his discourse with <strong>the</strong>m. In his estimation, <strong>the</strong>ywere <strong>the</strong> children of <strong>the</strong> Devil, a brood a vipers and a synagogue of Satan who would <strong>no</strong>t escape <strong>the</strong>punishment of Hell for hav<strong>in</strong>g oppressed those under <strong>the</strong>m. He f<strong>in</strong>gered <strong>the</strong>m as <strong>the</strong> root of all corruption<strong>in</strong> his country, and warned everyone <strong>in</strong> his proximity to stay as far away from <strong>the</strong>se <strong>in</strong>dividuals aspossible, and for <strong>the</strong>ir own good. What he did was to merely state <strong>the</strong> obvious which everyone alreadyknew, and this be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> case, <strong>no</strong> one bo<strong>the</strong>red to argue away his assertions, which would have been awaste of time anyway.A few days later <strong>the</strong>se same <strong>in</strong>dividuals who sat stoned face through all <strong>the</strong> condemnations that w<strong>her</strong>eleveled at <strong>the</strong>m for what was <strong>the</strong>ir crim<strong>in</strong>al and corrupt behavior would decide to suffer <strong>the</strong> militancy ofthis pesky revolutionary <strong>no</strong> longer. So, after ga<strong>the</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g toge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong> dark rooms, amidst whispers anddart<strong>in</strong>g eyes <strong>the</strong>y would plot to have him killed <strong>in</strong> what was to become <strong>the</strong> most <strong>in</strong>famous scandal ofpolitical corruption <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> history of mank<strong>in</strong>d. And despite Pilate’s reluctance to be responsible for <strong>the</strong>murder of an <strong>in</strong><strong>no</strong>cent man, never<strong>the</strong>less he was made an offer which he simply couldn’t refuse. And so<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> end, <strong>the</strong> simple peasant from Nazareth who dared to attempt <strong>the</strong> liberation of his people from <strong>the</strong>devilish grip of <strong>the</strong> Sanhedr<strong>in</strong> was strung up and nailed to a tree like an animal, an act of brutality thatwas meant to be seen as a warn<strong>in</strong>g to all <strong>the</strong> ages should anyone else get any funny ideas. As he hung<strong>the</strong>re naked and stripped of his flesh, his enemies paraded at his feet, shak<strong>in</strong>g each o<strong>the</strong>r’s hands <strong>in</strong>congratulatory fashion and mock<strong>in</strong>g him for hav<strong>in</strong>g dared to disrupt <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>in</strong>terests <strong>in</strong> what was hispa<strong>the</strong>tic display of resistance. As he hung <strong>the</strong>re, history’s forgotten Braveheart, his message to those who
<strong>13</strong>6HISTORY’S FOGOTTEN BRAVEHEARTwere <strong>the</strong> oppressors of <strong>the</strong> weak and <strong>the</strong> peddlers of men’s souls was simply “give <strong>the</strong>m liberty, or give medeath.” The mob bosses got what <strong>the</strong>y demanded, and, as <strong>the</strong> say<strong>in</strong>g goes, <strong>the</strong> rest is history.Indeed, <strong>the</strong> rest is history, but unfortunately a history much of whose importance has been forgotten <strong>in</strong><strong>the</strong> 2,000 years that have passed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terim. The image of <strong>the</strong> Pr<strong>in</strong>ce of Peace as a militant revolutionarycerta<strong>in</strong>ly doesn’t conform to <strong>the</strong> image that has been embraced by millions of his followers today, andyet, <strong>in</strong> reality this is exactly what he was. In <strong>no</strong> way can it be accurately stated that he was a moderate <strong>in</strong>any sense, for as he stated on several occasions, he detested lukewarmness and ambiguity on matters ofpr<strong>in</strong>ciple, compar<strong>in</strong>g such half-measures as <strong>no</strong>th<strong>in</strong>g better than vomit. He was just one <strong>in</strong> a long l<strong>in</strong>e oftroublemakers who had dared to challenge <strong>the</strong> corruption that had been woven <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> fabric of Jewishsociety by <strong>the</strong> leadership of Israel, and just one of many who was will<strong>in</strong>g to expose that leadership as <strong>the</strong>source of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>justices that oppressed <strong>the</strong> poor and blameless of his day. Before him were all <strong>the</strong> prophetswho had castigated a wicked people for <strong>the</strong>ir behavior, rabble-rousers who did <strong>no</strong>t neglect to po<strong>in</strong>t outthat it was those hold<strong>in</strong>g power <strong>in</strong> Israel who had <strong>in</strong>spired that deviancy.With this <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d, he who was <strong>the</strong> mild mannered carpenter and who had suddenly burst on to <strong>the</strong> sceneand began upsett<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> order which had been established for <strong>the</strong> benefit of <strong>the</strong> privileged few should <strong>in</strong>all justice be seen as <strong>the</strong> liberator and revolutionary that he was. This should only be natural, andparticularly to his followers today, s<strong>in</strong>ce he never attempted to hide <strong>the</strong> fact that he was a thorn <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>side of <strong>the</strong> powers that be <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> last three years of his life. He made sure that those around him understoodwhat he was about when he said <strong>in</strong> <strong>no</strong> uncerta<strong>in</strong> terms that he did <strong>no</strong>t come to br<strong>in</strong>g peace, but ra<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong>sword. In <strong>in</strong>stance after <strong>in</strong>stance he revealed what was his contempt for those who were determ<strong>in</strong>ed tooppress <strong>the</strong> people of Palest<strong>in</strong>e and to reduce <strong>the</strong>ir lives to that of concentration camp victims <strong>in</strong> whatwas <strong>the</strong> spiritual and sociological holocaust k<strong>no</strong>wn as Pharisaical Judaism. He understood how vicioushis enemy was, and enterta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>no</strong> illusions about <strong>the</strong> danger that encompassed his mission, understand<strong>in</strong>g<strong>the</strong> fact that he was a marked man for his revolutionary activity. Never<strong>the</strong>less, as history has shown, hewas <strong>no</strong>t <strong>the</strong> type to allow fear to dictate his agenda, and <strong>the</strong>refore refused to back down <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> face of sucha formidable bully. He loved his people and, with equal passion, loved justice, and would do what wasnecessary to free <strong>the</strong>m.It is a curious th<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>no</strong>te <strong>the</strong>se days, <strong>the</strong> fact that he is called <strong>the</strong> Savior by his followers and yet few of<strong>the</strong>m appreciate him as anyth<strong>in</strong>g more than this one-dimensional figure who speaks nice words andheals <strong>the</strong> sick. To his followers, <strong>the</strong> salvation he won for mank<strong>in</strong>d is limited to <strong>the</strong>ir be<strong>in</strong>g saved from s<strong>in</strong>,and yet <strong>the</strong>y do <strong>no</strong>t ack<strong>no</strong>wledge his revolution as go<strong>in</strong>g any fur<strong>the</strong>r than that. Whe<strong>the</strong>r this <strong>in</strong>sistenceupon look<strong>in</strong>g at <strong>the</strong> life of this liberator <strong>in</strong> a purely one dimensional way is <strong>the</strong> product of dis<strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong>politics and history or whe<strong>the</strong>r it is <strong>the</strong> product of mass manipulation by <strong>in</strong>terested parties is up fordebate, probably a little of both, to be accurate. In any case, <strong>the</strong>re is an angle to understand<strong>in</strong>g this strugglethat took place between him and <strong>the</strong> powers that be that is <strong>no</strong>t discussed <strong>no</strong>r explored, much to <strong>the</strong>disadvantage of <strong>no</strong>t only his followers, but <strong>in</strong>deed to <strong>the</strong> world <strong>in</strong> general. This truly is tragic, for conta<strong>in</strong>edwith<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> drama that took place between <strong>the</strong> peasant carpenter and <strong>the</strong> Sanhedr<strong>in</strong> are <strong>in</strong>valuable piecesof <strong>in</strong>formation which carry <strong>the</strong> keys to unlock<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> most serious problems fac<strong>in</strong>g humanity today.Included with<strong>in</strong> this are explanations concern<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> destruction of Western Civilization and <strong>the</strong> presentwar <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Middle East that threatens to consume <strong>the</strong> world <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> very near future. But <strong>in</strong> addition, (andmore importantly for those liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> present age) this tale is a warn<strong>in</strong>g about what lies ahead, awarn<strong>in</strong>g which much of <strong>the</strong> world has chosen <strong>no</strong>t to heed over <strong>the</strong> course of <strong>the</strong> last century.The question that should be asked by all those who are stand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> midst of this liv<strong>in</strong>g history todayis simply, what did this man see? What was it about <strong>the</strong> power structure of <strong>the</strong> Sanhedr<strong>in</strong> that made him
