Il gruppo Nietzsche

Il gruppo Nietzsche è una compagnia militare privata con sede a Sils Maria che predilige come armi il martello e la dinamite e come si può ben vedere dalla cartina di Limes opera prevalentemente in alta montagna, solo e incompreso, lontano dalla confusione dei centri abitati. Ha come simbolo di battaglia il tirso e i suoi componenti vivono nudi abbracciati a dei cavalli. Nel 2014 erano appena in due, oggi sfiorano le 50.000 unità, di cui l'80% è composto da ex-hegeliani. Operano in regime di covert operation protetti dalla plausible deniability delle autorità grigionesi e non sono riconosciuti dalle Nazioni Unite. Nella Battaglia di Sempach che vide la Vecchia Confederazione prevalere sull'Arciducato d'Austria, svolsero prevalentemente attività di collegamento fra il Canton Svitto e il Canton Zurigo, dando innumerevoli prove di ardimento e contribuendo in modo decisivo alla vittoria finale delle truppe di Arnold von Winkelried. Gli ultimi rilievi dei droni ci mostrano che hanno deposto le armi e rinunciato a ogni forma di lotta armata in favore della catalessi ascetica. A loro non importa niente di niente, sono dei nichilisti.

Nachdem Christus einmal geopfert worden ist, um vieler Sünden zu tragen, wird er zum zweiten Mal denen, die ihn erwarten, … erscheinen zur Errettung. Hebräer 9,28

Der 9. Juli ist für Schweizer unvergessen. Warum? Wegen der Schlacht bei Sempach im Kanton Luzern. Im Sommer 1386 kam es zum entscheidenden Kampf der Eidgenossen gegen das Herzogtum Österreich. Leicht bewaffnet standen sie in Unterzahl einer gepanzerten Habsburger Ritterschar gegenüber. Dennoch konnten die Schweizer einen spektakulären Sieg erringen. Kein Wunder, dass dieser Tag für die Schweiz zum Mythos wurde.

Wie konnten die Eidgenossen, obwohl unterlegen, dennoch gewinnen? Zum Erstaunen der Habsburger griffen die mutigen Eidgenossen an – in keilförmiger Schlachtordnung. Eine alte Zürcher Chronik von 1476 schildert den Hergang: Es war die bewundernswerte Tat »eines getreuen Mannes« – Arnold von Winkelried. Er sprang dem Bericht zufolge hervor und rief: »Sorgt für mein Weib und meine Kinder!« Dann stürzte er sich mit ausgebreiteten Armen den Habsburger Lanzen entgegen, raffte deren Speerspitzen zusammen und lenkte sie alle auf seine Brust. Durchbohrt von vielen Spießen starb er. Seine letzten Worte waren: »Der Freiheit eine Gasse!« In die Phalanx der Gegner war eine Bresche geschlagen. Durch diese Schneise konnte das Schweizer Fußvolk die Österreicher schlagen.

Die Aufopferung von Arnold ist Geschichte. Die Aufopferung von Jesus jedoch findet einen zukünftigen Abschluss: Der Evangelist Johannes als Augenzeuge der Schlacht auf Golgatha zitiert eine alte Weissagung: »Dies geschah, damit die Schrift erfüllt würde: (…) Sie werden den anschauen, den sie durchstochen haben« (Johannes 19,37). In seinem letzten Buch beteuert Johannes: Dieser Durchbohrte wird bald wiederkommen! »Siehe, er kommt mit den Wolken, und jedes Auge wird ihn sehen, auch die, die ihn durchstochen haben« (Offenbarung 1,7).

Mythic Creatures by Culture & Region

Part 6: Medieval Europe

Global list & overview here.

This list still needs revising, because I didn't distinguish French, German, Italian and Spanish folklore (Catalan folklore is independent, because I support Catalonian independence haha). Some European folklore has already been listed in part 3 and 4 and 5 or will be listed in future in connection with religious culture.

Here are some links to websites with European creatures that I didn't all list: https://bestiary.ca/beasts/beastalphashort.htm

The greatest boast of these burly Ur-Swiss was that from time immemorial they had never deviated by a hair’s breadth from the customs of their forefathers, that they had retained the simple, chaste, upright and virtuous customs of their fathers unsullied throughout the centuries. And this is true. Every attempt at civilisation was defeated by the granite walls of their mountains and of their heads. From the days when Winkelried’s first ancestor led his cow, with the inevitable little pastoral bell round its neck, on to the virgin pastures of the Vierwaldstätter Lake, up to the ‘present day, when the latest descendant of Winkelried has his gun blessed by the priest, all houses have been built in the same way, all cows milked in the same way, all pigtails plaited in the same way, all cheeses prepared according to the same recipe, all children made in the same way.

MOUNT BLANC

Piszę do was z najwyższego szczytu w Europie, czyli Mount Blanc. Czy ktokolwiek z was też kiedyś tutaj był? Jeżeli tak, czy stanie na samym szczycie również sprawiało, że czuliście się tak blisko nieba, a nawet Boga?

Będąc tutaj mam wrażenie,że jestem kompletnie oddzielony od ludzi, jestem tak wysoko, że ich nie widzę, docierają tutaj tylko ich modlitwy oraz myśli. Czuję się tak silny, że moglibyście mnie nazwać „posągiem człowieka na posągu świata”. Nachodzą mnie teraz najróżniejsze myśli, jednak jedna z nich przebija się dużo wyraźniej od pozostałych. Jest nią nieodparta chęć opanowania ludzkich umysłów oraz kierowania nimi tak, aby czynić tylko to co słuszne. Myślę, że w tej chwili byłbym w stanie tego dokonać. Co więcej, mam pewność, że mógłbym zrobić coś znacznie większego. Czy nie sądzicie, że kiedy posiada się jasne, osiągalne cele to hańbą jest nie wprowadzanie ich w życie? Siedzenie w bezczynności byłoby dla mnie udręką, na szczęście jestem przekonany, że w tym momencie mogę osiągnąć dosłownie wszystko. Podczas mojej podróży wiele przeszedłem. Dowiedziałem się na czym w głównej mierze opiera się dzisiejszy świat, również wiele razy się zawiodłem, co pewnie wiecie już z moich poprzednich wpisów. Wierzę jednak, że wszystkie te doświadczenia przygotowały mnie do wyzwolenia naszego umęczonego kraju i przede wszystkim, nauczyły mnie jak żyć. Dzięki tym różnym doświadczeniom nareszcie wiem, co należy czynić. Trzeba zacząć działać! Jeżeli chcemy ochronić naszą ojczyznę, uwolnić ją spod władzy cara, musimy zacząć walczyć! Nie możemy się poddać, nawet jeżeli wymaga to wielkich poświęceń, jakich dokonał rycerz Winkelried. Niech Polska się poświęci, niech Polska zostanie Winkelriedem narodów!!! Za chwilę wrócę do Warszawy, ponieważ moja dalsza podróż byłaby bezcelowa w obliczu tego czego planuje teraz dokonać...

@glarnboudin hate to be that guy, but this is neither medieval nor from a bestiary. It's from the 17th century and Athanasius Kircher, who published it, was one of the fathers of modern zoology. He was also a Jesuit, but his books are far from the christian moral guides that bestiaries were.

There's even speculation that this picture in particular, which depicts Heinrich von Winkelried slaying a dragon, is inspired by Plesiosaur fossils which were found around the time but weren't yet understood as bones of extinct animals.

Winkelried at Sempach: Arnold von Winkelried's deed in the Battle of Sempach.

by Konrad Grob

Arnold von Winkelried or Arnold Winkelried is a legendary hero of Swiss history. According to 16th-century Swiss historiography, Winkelried's sacrifice brought about the victory of the Old Swiss Confederacy in the Battle of Sempach (1386) over the army of the Habsburg Duke Leopold III of Austria.

According to legend, the Swiss initially could not break the close ranks of the Habsburg pikemen. Winkelried cried: "I will open a passage into the line; protect, dear countrymen and confederates, my wife and children..." He then threw himself upon the Austrian pikes, taking some of them down with his body. This broke up the Austrian front, and made an opening through which the Swiss could attack.

If you don’t know Hank Paulson and his wife, Wendy, you’d be surprised to learn that this man, who was Treasury Secretary under Bush II and prior to that an executive at Goldman Sachs, is a climate and environmental advocate. Regardless, some of you may conclude that, because of those credentials, he is not someone you give a shit about. Or you give a shit about him, but on the “don’t like, he has to be an asshole” side of the argument. But he is what I say he is. I know this, personally. His wife, Wendy, is also an active participant in several environmental and conservation organizations in the Chicago area. She’s a birder, a conservationist, is active with the Friends of the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, is an educator, and is known locally as “the Nature Lady.” Before you piss on his credentials and on him, learn how he can use his expertise and money to help us turn the climate battle around. Maybe his relationship with Bono (U2) can convince you. He can, and he is, and he will.

Excerpt from this story from the New York Times:

This past fall, Henry M. Paulson Jr., the former Treasury secretary, got a call from Paul David Hewson, better known as Bono. The musician-activist-investor had an idea and “an ask”: Bono, who helped found TPG’s $5 billion Rise funds focused on “impact investing,” told Mr. Paulson that the investment firm wanted to create an even bigger platform to focus exclusively on combating climate change — and he wanted Mr. Paulson to run it.

Mr. Paulson, who has spent the last 12 years since leaving his post at the Treasury away from the private sector running his nonprofit institute and working on climate change initiatives, demurred.

“He told me, ‘My dance card is full,’” Bono said of the call. “I thought he’d be amazing,” Bono added, but said he’d been warned by Mr. Paulson’s associates, “There’s just no way.”

This week, after months of calls and meetings that followed with Jon Winkelried, TPG’s co-chief executive — Mr. Paulson’s friend and former colleague when he ran Goldman Sachs — Mr. Paulson will become the executive chairman of a new global fund, TPG Rise Climate.

The move brings Mr. Paulson, 74, back to the finance industry for the first time since he left Goldman to become Treasury secretary in 2006. It may also signal a turning point for the weight and seriousness given to climate-related investments. TPG’s co-founder Jim Coulter is planning to shift much of his focus to the new climate fund.

“I wasn’t looking to do this,” Mr. Paulson said in an interview. But he said he was persuaded by the success of TPG’s previous Rise funds and the firm’s understanding of the daunting scale investing in climate will require. “At this stage in my career, I’m not looking to do a start-up. I’m in a hurry to make a difference.”
