from Google AI:

A Semite is traditionally defined as a member of any people who speak or spoke a Semitic language, such as Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, or ancient Akkadian. Originating in southwestern Asia, they are classified by language rather than race. Major languages include Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic, with cultures deeply rooted in Abrahamic traditions and early nomadic histories. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Languages and Origins

• Semitic Languages: A branch of the Afroasiatic language family, these include ancient Akkadian, Canaanite, Phoenician, and Aramaic, alongside modern Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, and Tigrinya.
• Origins: Scholars believe Semitic-speaking peoples originated in the Arabian Peninsula, Levant, or North Africa around 3800 BC before spreading throughout the Middle East and to the Horn of Africa. [1, 2, 3]

Cultural and Religious Characteristics

• Religion: The Semitic peoples are the source of major monotheistic faiths, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
• Culture: Historically, many groups were nomadic or semi-nomadic, influencing agricultural and urban developments in Mesopotamia and the Levant.
• Social Structure: Ancient Semitic societies often featured patriarchal structures, with urban developments in places like Phoenicia focused on trade, while others like Assyria focused on empire-building. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Genetic and Anthropological Context

• Definition: "Semitic" was originally a linguistic classification coined in the 1770s by German scholars (Göttingen school) to describe groups listed in biblical genealogy as descendants of Shem.
• Genetic Identity: While early 19th-century theories tried to define "Semites" as a racial group, modern science views them as diverse populations sharing a language family rather than a single distinct genetic "race".
• Antisemitism: The term "antisemitism" was coined in the late 19th century in Germany specifically to describe hatred of Jews. It is a misnomer, as "Semitic" refers to a language family and covers many groups, not just Jews. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Historical Groups

• Ancient: Akkadians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, Amorites.
• Modern: Arabs, Jews, Amharas, Tigrayans, Assyrians 

More from Google AI:

"Special victim pleading" generally refers to legal processes involving enhanced charges or specialized procedures when a crime is committed against a "special victim," a term often defined as a vulnerable person or someone performing specific public duties.

Key aspects regarding "special victims" and related legal proceedings include:

1. Definition of a "Special Victim"

Laws often categorize specific individuals as special victims to increase penalties for offenders. This commonly includes:

• Children: Minors, particularly those under 13 or 14 years old.
• Elderly and Vulnerable Adults: Adults who are frail, disabled, or unable to care for themselves.
• Law Enforcement/Public Officers: Police officers, firefighters, or emergency personnel acting in their official capacity.
• Victims of Specific Crimes: Individuals subjected to sexual assault, human trafficking, or domestic violence.

2. Legal Implications and Special Procedures

When a case involves a special victim, the legal system often implements specialized procedures, such as:

• Specialized Prosecution Units: Many districts have Special Victims Units (SVU) that handle cases involving domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault.
• Privacy Protections: Special victims may be permitted to use their initials instead of their names in public documents to prevent intimidation or embarrassment.
• Enhanced Sentencing: Assaulting a special victim can elevate a charge, for example, moving a standard assault to a felony charge.
• Confidentiality: Procedures may exist to keep the residence or address of a special victim confidential.

3. Special Victim Rights (Marsy’s Law)

In many jurisdictions, victims have specific rights, often termed "Marsy’s Law," which allows them to be heard at proceedings and to receive notifications regarding the case. These rights include:

• Protection: The right to be protected from the accused.
• Privacy: The right to prevent the disclosure of confidential information.
• Input: The right to confer with the prosecutor and provide input on plea negotiations.
• Presence: The right to attend all hearings

4. Victim Impact Statements

Before sentencing, victims (or their representatives) often submit a "victim impact" statement, which is a written or oral description of the physical, psychological, emotional, and financial injuries that occurred as a direct result of the crime. This is a formal part of the court record and is considered during the sentencing process.

The entire Post-modern "Racial/ Colonial Settler/ Social Justice Warrior" movement has been shaped  by the world's Post-WWII reaction to the holocaust and the special victim pleading of Jewish survivors.  It's time to return to the Enlightenment's Universalism and put the Individual's JUSTICE back into the distorting Social Justice (special victim pleading) Legal Process!  It's time to return to Race Non-Essentialism!

On Jacques Lacan's Expert/ Surplus Salaried PMC University Discourse & Replacing it with Grok/ ChatGPT

from Google AI:

Jacques Lacan's University Discourse is one of the four fundamental structures of social bonds he introduced in his 1969–1970 seminar, The Other Side of Psychoanalysis. It describes a configuration where knowledge () occupies the dominant position of authority, functioning as a "neutral" or "objective" mask for a deeper, hidden command.

The Structure of University Discourse

Lacan formalizes this discourse using a specific "matheme" where four symbols rotate through four fixed positions:

Agent (): Systematized knowledge or expertise is the active force. It speaks in the name of logic, science, or administrative necessity.

Other (): The "Other" is treated as an object to be managed, classified, or corrected (e.g., a student to be graded or a patient to be diagnosed).

Truth (): Beneath the neutral veneer of knowledge lies a hidden "Master Signifier." This is the unspoken authority or ideological anchor (like "efficiency," "science," or a bureaucratic decree) that actually drives the system.

Production (): The result is a divided subject—someone who is produced by the system as standardized and compliant, but who remains internally alienated or "barred".

Key Characteristics

The Mask of Objectivity: Unlike the Discourse of the Master, which commands openly ("Because I said so"), the University Discourse commands through impersonality ("The data shows..." or "It is policy").

Institutional Link: While not exclusive to schools, it describes the logic of modern bureaucracy, technocracy, and professionalized expertise where expertise legitimizes social order.

A "Mutant" of Mastery: Lacan suggests this discourse is a transformation of the Master's discourse; the master is still there, but now "hiding" behind the bar of knowledge.

The "Proletarianization" of Knowledge: In this state, knowledge is no longer a source of liberation but a tool of production and control.

Contemporary Examples

Academia: Systems where learning is reduced to credits, citations, and standardized assessments.

Bureaucracy: Governing through "best practices" and performance metrics rather than direct political debate.

Clinical Settings: When a therapist provides labels and technique-driven protocols instead of allowing the patient's own unique truth to emerge.

Net Zero: The Eco-Suicidal Luxury Values-based Economy Killing Green Energy Con Continues in Maryland

Google AI on the Green Energy Lobby's RIDICULOUSLY COSTLY Legislative Goals:

Maryland's legislative goals, primarily driven by the Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022, mandate a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2006 levels by 2031 and net-zero emissions by 2045. Key energy targets include 50% renewable energy by 2030, 8,500 megawatts of offshore wind by 2031, and 3,000 megawatts of energy storage by 2033.

Key Legislative Goals and Targets

• Emission Reductions: Reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 60% (from 2006 levels) by 2031 and achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions by 2045.
• Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS): Requires 50% of electricity consumed in Maryland to be generated from renewable sources by 2030.
• Offshore Wind: The POWER Act sets a goal of 8,500 megawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2031.
• Energy Storage: The Energy Storage Act aims for 3,000 megawatts of energy storage capacity by 2033.
• Clean Energy Transition: The state is moving toward 100% clean electricity by 2040, incorporating advancements in technology.
• Transportation and Buildings: Implementation of Advanced Clean Cars II (100% EV sales by 2035) and electrification of buildings, including high-efficiency heat pumps.

Usage Examples and Legislative Implementation 

• Climate Pollution Reduction Plan: A roadmap published in 2023 to achieve the 2031 goals.
• Community Solar: A pilot program for community-based solar projects was made permanent to increase access to renewable energy.
• Tree Planting: A mandate to plant and maintain five million trees by 2031, focusing on urban and underserved communities.
• Grid Modernization: The 2024 Energy Storage Program supports integrating these technologies into the electric grid.

Synonyms and Related Policy Terms

• Climate Solutions Now Act (CSNA): The landmark 2022 legislation setting the 60% reduction goal.
• Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS): The policy requiring utility companies to purchase renewable energy.
• Net-Zero Plan: Often used to describe the 2045 climate goal.
• Clean Energy Jobs Act/POWER Act: Policies accelerating wind and solar deployment.
• Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets: The overarching phrase for Maryland's climate strategy.

Recent reports indicate that as of early 2026, Maryland is projected to achieve a 42% reduction by 2031, falling short of the 60% goal and highlighting the need for accelerated action.

Google AI on Actual Costs above the allocated $1 billion per year:

Maryland's Climate Pollution Reduction Plan estimates that achieving an equitable transition to a clean energy future requires roughly $1 billion in annual public sector investment. However, projections indicate that the total economic cost to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045—including private investments in buildings, vehicles, and the energy grid—will likely exceed this figure significantly. 

Building Decarbonization Cost: A 2023 memo estimated the total cost to decarbonize Maryland buildings at $15.3 billion. Another estimate suggests high-electrification scenarios for buildings could cost $7.7 billion to $14 billion annually. 

Total Economic Impact (2025–2034): Some analyses estimate that the required energy transition, including building performance standards and electric vehicle adoption, could increase energy bills for Maryland households by roughly $810 million in 2030, rising to over $1.5 billion in higher energy costs by 2035. 

Revenue Generation: To meet the estimated costs, proposed climate legislation is designed to raise roughly $1.25 billion per year through new funding sources. 

Alternative Estimates: Some estimates indicate that the total cost for building decarbonization could reach $15.2 billion total from 2025–2040, which would equate to roughly $1 billion per year, but these figures often represent just a portion of the total economy-wide investment.

The State's Low-Ball Estimate of $1 billion a year  for Net Zero in 2045 (a total of $20b) is RIDICULOUS.  The AI's keep fixating on this number:  

Google AI:

Based on 2026 industry estimates, the cost to build 32 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale solar capacity in Maryland would likely range between $25.6 billion and $48 billion, based on an estimated installation cost of $0.80M to $1.50M per megawatt (MW)(Wind Capacity would Cost MUCH MORE x3)

However, this figure represents only construction costs and does not include the significant additional investments required for transmission upgrades, grid interconnection, or land acquisition, which are often underestimated and can substantially increase total project cost

Capacity vs. Energy: The 32 GW figure likely refers to nameplate capacity rather than sustained output, as solar and wind have lower capacity factors (15-30%) (So multiply this number x3-6)

Note: The 32-gigawatt figure is consistent with the massive new data center-led demand described in 2025/2026 PJM capacity discussions, which is pushing up local energy costs.

 ...and none of the above cost estimates include land acquisition or infrastructure improvements (ie energy storage/ batteries) that would double the installation costs (for a 4 hour capacity, at a minimum)  PS - Nights last more than 4 hours (solar problem).

How the SPLC Ends Up Financing NAZI's and Racists...

Sundance, "It's Time for a National Conversation About the CIA"

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is one government agency that remains largely hidden from the American public. It operates with a secret federal budget and appears to run independent activities, even having the means to generate its own revenue.

By now most people who follow politics understand how the CIA and State Department operate collaboratively in most foreign endeavors. Many CIA operatives have State Department covers. The CIA also works jointly with the State Dept on influence operations through USAID, which makes some recent events a little uncomfortable.

Against revelations about the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) funding violent domestic extremist groups, consider this graphic:

It is hard to argue against the possibility that behind some of the domestic violent extremists (what the FBI calls DVEs) is a network of finance that traces back to the CIA. It is a fact that USAID is -in part- a CIA influence operation. If the SPLC is funded by USAID, then who was ultimately funding the SPLC influence operations? It is an uncomfortable question.

As we researched several serious issues in the past two decades one thing always surfaces, the intelligence community is often at the heart of the matter. As a historic example, during research into the Benghazi, Libya chaos that ultimately led to the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens it became almost impossible to distinguish the CIA operatives from the State Dept objective.

In fact, we said the same thing about the CIA and the Qatar officials who were part of that background Libya story. It was almost impossible to tell a difference between the CIA operatives and the Qatari facilitators. The money was fungible and the Libya operation was an enmeshed network of mutually aligned government interests.

When President Obama signed the finding memos for covert Libya and Syria operations, it is more than likely the last direct engagement on the matter as everything from that moment then sank below the surface into some system of CIA operations (Panetta) that was no longer controlled by the White House.

The boondoggled Libya mess known as “Operation Zero Footprint” burst back through the surface like a fast-breeching Trident submarine when the al-Qaeda attack against the Benghazi “consulate” took place.

Political chaos erupted on the surface and the only thing the White House could do was try to ignore the chaos until the water calmed again. As the fires raged at the CIA annex in Benghazi, Obama literally went to Las Vegas for a fundraising event. The quick removal of the current CIA Director (Petraeus) and a compliant media helped his team manage the issue.

More recently we would not know of a CIA operation in Mexico if it were not for a car crash that killed two covert CIA operatives. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said she knew nothing about the operation, I don’t think she was lying. “A statement from Mexico’s Ministry of Security said one U.S. agent entered Mexico as a visitor while the other entered with a diplomatic passport.” {source} If their car didn’t “drive off a ravine and explode” we would never even know about it.

As many people now understand, intercepting drugs, picking the winning and losing drug cartels and receiving money from the mechanics of illegal drug and human trafficking are part of how the CIA self-finances beyond their dark budget.

When we watch the Pentagon blowing up drug boats coming from Columbia and Venezuela, many people wonder if those were just the arrogant idiots who forgot to pay a CIA transit fee.

It is doubtful that CIA Director John Ratcliffe, or any modern CIA Director since George H.W. Bush ((’76/’77), has specific working knowledge of every operation the CIA is actually carrying out. That Occam’s Razor acceptance frames the doorway between Chuck Schumer’s “six ways from Sunday” mindset and the group of mutually assured recipients of envelopes at George H.W. Bush’s funeral.

We start to exit the discussion through the same door we entered. If the SPLC is funded by USAID, then who was ultimately funding the SPLC influence operations, or, wait for it, the ongoing operations to resist and remove President Donald Trump.

Yes, it remains a serious of very uncomfortable questions. However, ultimately at the end of the SPLC goal was the removal of President Trump, no?

FBI Agent Peter Strzok, who originated the Crossfire Hurricane operation then set up the parameters for the targeting effort itself, received a coin of recognition and appreciation from what agency? The CIA.

The Trump-Russia collusion narrative was fabricated by Eric Ciaramella and Julia Gurganus inside the National Intelligence Council and Directorate of Analysis, at the behest of CIA Director John Brennan.

The same operatives from within the same agency then organized an anonymous whistleblower complaint in an effort to trigger an impeachment investigation and subsequent trial. All of it was fraudulently created, fabricated, spun to give the illusion of something that did not exist, and all of it came from where? The CIA.

Additionally, every time you find yourself confused or perplexed by events and outcomes that seemingly contradict themselves and create chaos and confusion, it is a best practice to pause and remind yourself what it feels like to be reviewing an intelligence operation.

The hallmark patterns of chaos and confusion run consistent when reviewing every intelligence operation, and that includes the inability of anyone to explain just how algorithmically controlled narratives seem to find mysterious support.

Yes folks, it’s time for a national conversation about the Central Intelligence Agency.

The CosPlay Left: 3 Strikes and You're OUT!

Soros Realism Isn't Working in Maintaining Woke Ideology... We Must Return to Imposing Socialist Realism!

from Google AI:

Socialist Realism was the officially sanctioned artistic doctrine in the Soviet Union (1932–mid-1980s) and other communist nations, requiring art to be realistic in form and socialist in content. It served as propaganda to promote party ideology, idealizing labor, revolutionary progress, and Soviet leaders while depicting a, "true, historically concrete representation of reality in its revolutionary development".

Key Principles and Characteristics

• Ideological Content: Art had to serve the proletariat, align with Communist Party goals, and promote socialism.
• Proletarian Accessibility: Imagery was realistic, clear, and easy for the working masses to understand.
• The Positive Hero: Characters were often idealized, heroic figures who overcame obstacles to build a better socialist future.
• Idealized Reality: Instead of showing real, often grim Soviet life, it presented a "favorable" future reality to instill hope and dedication.
• Subjects: Common themes included labor (workers, factories),, "collective farming," the military, and portraits of leaders like Stalin.

Role in the Soviet Union

• State Control: It was used as a tool of the totalitarian state to regulate cultural expression and suppress avant-garde or abstract art.
• Propaganda: It fostered a cult of personality around leaders and mobilized workers to meet economic goals.
• "Engineers of the Soul": Stalin considered artists "engineers of the soul," tasked with shaping citizens' minds,.

Notable Artists and Writers

• Painters: Alexander Gerasimov, Isaak Brodsky, Aleksandr Deyneka, and Yuri Pimenov.
• Writers: Maxim Gorky (whose work Mother influenced the style), Nikolai Ostrovsky, and Fyodor Gladkov.
• Other Media: Film director Sergei Eisenstein and sculptor Vera Mukhina.

This movement insisted on "partiinost" (party-mindedness), ensuring all cultural output was aligned with the state.

The De-Evolutionary History of the Motto of the United States of America:

1782: E Pluribus Unum

1956 - In God We Trust

2022* - I Support the Current Thing (Official Adoption pending)

from Google AI:

The United States adopted "In God We Trust" as its official motto in 1956 (replacing the de facto E Pluribus Unum) primarily to differentiate itself from the atheist Soviet Union during the Cold War. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill, seeking to solidify the U.S. as a nation rooted in religious faith, a move fueled by anti-communist sentiment.

• Cold War Ideology: The 1950s saw a rise in religiosity as a direct counter-response to Soviet Communism, which promoted state atheism.
• Legislative Action: Congress officially adopted the phrase to emphasize a "spiritual atmosphere" and reliance on a higher power, reinforcing America's religious heritage.
• Expansion of Religion in Public Life: The change was part of a broader effort, following the 1954 addition of "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance.
• Currency Mandate: The 1956 law officially mandated the phrase appear on all U.S. paper currency.

Before this change, E Pluribus Unum ("Out of many, one") had served as the nation's unofficial motto since the American Revolution.

How Salem Media = Israel. 

from Google AI:

Salem Media Group is a prominent American conservative and Christian multimedia company that maintains a strong, active partnership with Israel through content creation, broadcasting, and strategic media campaigns.

Pro-Israel Media Initiatives 

Salem Media frequently produces and distributes content that aligns with pro-Israel narratives and religious Zionism.

• The Dragon's Prophecy: In September 2025, Salem and D’Souza Media released this film based on Jonathan Cahn's book, which connects the October 7 attacks to biblical history and features interviews with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
• On-the-Ground Broadcasting: Host Mike Gallagher has broadcast his show from Jerusalem, touring the "Gaza envelope" and interviewing survivors of the October 7 attacks to encourage audience support for groups like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ).
• SRN News Reporting: Salem’s news branch, SRN News, regularly syndicates reports from The Media Line, a news agency covering Middle East developments like Independence Day ceremonies and military operations.

Strategic Partnerships and Campaigns 

Salem Media is a key platform for Israeli public diplomacy (Hasbara) efforts in the United States.

• Clock Tower Project: Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reportedly utilized a firm called Clock Tower to integrate pro-Israel messaging into Salem Media Network properties as part of a multi-million dollar campaign to influence American public opinion.
• Evangelical Outreach: The Israeli government targets Salem’s audience because of the strong historical and theological support for Israel within the American Christian Right.
• Political Connections: Recent FARA filings indicate that figures close to the Trump family have financial ties to Salem Media, which has been contracted to distribute information regarding Israeli interests.

Key Point: Salem Media serves as a bridge between the Israeli government and the American Evangelical community, often framing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a biblical and conservative lens.

Google AI on Havas Media Network:

Havas Media Network has been identified as a key intermediary in a major digital influence campaign conducted by the Israeli government, particularly following the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023. As of late 2025, the firm is involved in managing and coordinating campaigns aimed at shaping online narratives and public opinion in the United States, including targeting younger demographics. 

Key details regarding Havas Media Network and its work with Israel include:

• Role in Digital Campaigns: Havas Media Network has been used to channel business for Israeli government-sponsored initiatives, including the use of social media influencers to present a pro-Israel narrative.
• Targeting and AI: The campaign, implemented by Havas Media Network and others, focuses on digital platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, aiming for 50 million monthly impressions. It involves efforts to influence how AI systems, such as ChatGPT, generate responses about Israel.
• Partnership with Clock Tower X: Havas Media Network has partnered with Clock Tower X, a firm run by Brad Parscale, which was contracted for digital influence campaigns.
• FARA Registration: Documents filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in the U.S. indicate that Havas Media Network works with Israel to develop campaigns in the United States.
• Extent of Operations: Reports suggest this is a significant, well-funded effort by the Israeli government to counter negative perceptions and influence public opinion in Western countries, particularly among Gen Z. 

Reports mention that the campaign includes a $6 million contract for digital influence work, with Havas involved in the operational aspects.

Dervy repeatedly claims that since he feels no "guilt" for America's historical enslavement of African-Americans, he can have no guilt-pride associated with it.  But does he also believe that white Americans like himself have no historical "debt" to black people for their former enslavement?  Does he feel no "obligation" to make restitution (or pay reparations) for their social suffering in the form of social justice?  If he does, Dervy's "guilt/ schuld" is simply manifesting itself to his own mind as a "debt", a debt that is still owed and which must be repaid (with interest).  And this is an obligation that he is proud to acknowledge.  It's what obsessively compels him to behave in the manner of a Woke Social Justice Warrior zealot, and constantly virtue signal the fact that unlike other whites who refuse to acknowledge their social debt, and that he is a loyal ally in Black's quest for restitution.  And Black History Month serves as a perpetual reminder of this historic American debt , a debt that must be repaid, can NEVER be repaid, and NEVER be forgotten!  "Never Forget!"  ...slavery (and white racists)... or in the case of Germany and Jews, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism!  And for this reason alone (acknowledgement of a debt), RACE must perpetually remain an ESSENTIAL feature of American (and German) life.

Debt, Guilt, and Their Ambiguity

As Freud shows, for example, in his analysis of obsessional neurosis (the case study of the “Ratman”), debt plays a key role in this structure: obsessional subjects experience themselves as always indebted to the Other—be it the father, the Law, God, or the analyst. They are trapped in a paradox: on the one hand, they want to pay their debt, to be free; on the other, they endlessly postpone payment, because if the debt were ever settled, the Other’s desire would be extinguished—and that is unbearable. The obsessional solution, therefore, is to keep the debt alive. This gives them a sense of control over the Other’s desire (“I still owe, so the Other still wants (something from me)”), albeit at a very high cost, which can almost completely paralyze life, as we vividly see in the case of the “Rat Man.” Freud extends the fundamental logic of this compulsive structure to the functioning of religion in general, understanding the latter as a kind of “universal obsessive neurosis”: religion is not simply a set of beliefs and intimate faith; it operates as a system of practices and rituals aimed at managing anxiety and guilt in relation to the Other. Since, for Freud, there is at the same time no such thing as a completely non-pathological psychological structure, obsessive neurosis can be understood as one of the possible structures of “normality.”

In a slightly different register—one in which debt also resonates with guilt (as it does directly in the German language, where Schuld means both debt and guilt, though this connection is culturally more universal)—it is interesting to observe how this plays out in classical tragedy, and later in modern tragedy. As Hegel notes in his Lectures on Aesthetics, the force of the great tragic characters of antiquity lies in the fact that they have no choice: they are what they will and accomplish from their birth onward, and they are this with all their being. For this reason, Hegel continues, they do not in any way claim to be innocent of their acts. On the contrary, the greatest offence one can commit against a great tragic hero is to regard him or her as innocent; for great tragic characters, it is an honor to be guilty.[1]

To be guilty—to carry one’s particular symbolic debt—is to be, in the emphatic sense of the term. In this configuration, guilt pertains to being in a double sense: not only are we already guilty by virtue of existing (like in the tragedy of Oedipus), but guilt/debt also serves as the proof—the manifestation—of our being. Roughly speaking, we can see this logic at work later as well, in most of the classical tragedies.

In this respect, one of the most significant shifts that takes place with modernity is the idea that this symbolic debt, which once equaled (and justified) our being, can be taken away from us. In his reading of modern tragedy, as exemplified by Paul Claudel, Jacques Lacan points out that this is precisely what befalls his tragic heroines—particularly Sygne de Coûfontaine from the Coûfontaine trilogy.

“We are no longer guilty just in virtue of symbolic debt. … It is the debt itself in which we have our place that can be taken away from us, and it is here that we can feel completely alienated from ourselves. The ancient Ate doubtless made us guilty of this debt, but to renounce it as we can now means that we are left with an even greater misfortune: destiny no longer applies.”[2]

This possibility that arises with modernity is a possibility of a more radical alienation, which can lead to something like the sacrifice of the sacrifice itself: we can be asked or expected to sacrifice everything we have for a cause, but the next level, so to speak, is when we are then asked to sacrifice/betray this cause itself, the very thing for which we were willing to sacrifice everything. In this case, we don’t just lose everything we have; at the horizon looms the loss of everything we are.

In all these examples, debt functions as our attachment to the Other, who also bestows upon us our being. Yet we can also look at this from the other side: although the relation is not simply symmetrical, the Other too seems to depend on our debt—or guilt—for its own existence and prosperity. This, for instance, is something Nietzsche repeatedly exposed in his writings, taking Christianity as the model par excellence of this dynamic

Christianity, and particularly its Catholic strain, devised a complex system for forgiving and atoning for our sins, while simultaneously maintaining our debt to the Father and the Son who made such forgiveness possible. A sin that is forgiven, in this logic, amplifies rather than abolishes our debt.

This is the reason what Nietzsche insisted on the importance of the distinction between forgiving and forgetting: forgiving is a way of sustaining a bond—and with it, a debt. Forgiveness has a perverse way of entangling us even further in indebtedness. To forgive always somehow implies “paying” for the other, and thus turning the very act of injury and its forgiveness into a new kind of “engagement ring.” God forgives our sins by paying for them—by paying for them with his own flesh.

This, for Nietzsche, constitutes the fundamental perversity of Christianity: while forgiving, it simultaneously waves before us the cross—the instrument of torture, the reminder of the one who suffered and died so that we might be forgiven, the memory of the one who paid for us. Christianity forgives, but it does not forget.

One could say that, with the eyes of the sinner fixed on the cross, forgiveness creates a new debt in the very act of forgiving. It forgives what was done, but it does not forgive the act of forgiving itself. On the contrary, the latter establishes a new bond and a new debt. It is now infinite mercy—understood as the capacity for forgiveness—that sustains the infinite debt, the debt as infinite. The debt is no longer brought about by our actions; it is produced by the act of forgiving those actions. We are indebted for forgiveness.[3] This is the reason why Nietzsche counters the concept of forgiving with the concept of forgetting (“a good example of this in modern times is Mirabeau, who had no memory for insults and vile actions done to him and was unable to forgive simply because he – forgot”).

Christianity thus invented a singular way of maintaining and amplifying our debt—through the Savior paying for it, and through the Church forgiving our sins in His name. At the same time, for doctrinal reasons, the Catholic religion long struggled with—and resisted—the idea that today appears as an entirely natural precondition of debt, or its internal moment: namely, interest. More precisely, it resisted the monetary expression of the increase of debt, which it nevertheless very much practiced on the symbolic level.

Credit means that when we receive or borrow something—especially when we borrow money—our debt grows with time, and we must return more than we were lent. We pay for the time during which the Other holds us “in credit,” and we pay, so to speak, for the very access to debt. The notion that money could generate (more) money—that value could emerge from nothing but time—stood in deep conflict with theological orthodoxy. For this reason, in the Middle Ages only non-Christians (Jewish, and later Lombard or Florentine bankers) were permitted to lend at interest, often acting as intermediaries. Of course, this also meant that Christians could use them to lend money at interest without themselves being held accountable—thus giving rise to the classical antisemitic topos of the usurious “Jew.”
