4 CHAPTER III

CHAPTER III

Relentless research has established as equally true that the so-called Jews in Eastern Europe at no time in their history could be correctly regarded as the direct lineal descendants of the legendary lost ten tribes of the Bible. The so-called Jews in Eastern Europe in modern history cannot legitimately point to a single ancient ancestor who ever set foot on the soil of Palestine in Bible history. Research also reveals that the so-called Jews in Eastern Europe were never Semites, are not Semites now, nor can they ever be regarded as Semites at any future time by any stretch of the imagination. Exhaustive research also irrevocably rejects as a fantastic fabrication the generally accepted belief by Christians that the so-called Jews in Eastern Europe are the legendary Chosen People so vocally publicized by some of the Christian clergy from their pulpits. In the 1st Century B.C. the Khazars had invaded Eastern Europe from their homeland in Asia. The Khazars invaded Eastern Europe via the land route between the north end of the Caspian Sea and the South end of the Ural Mountains. The Khazars were not Semites. They were an Asiatic Mongolic nation. They are classified by modern anthropologists as Turco-Finns racially. The homeland of the Khazars was in the heart of Asia. They were a very warlike nation. The Khazars were driven out of Asia by the nations in Asia with whom they were continually at war. The Khazars invaded Eastern Europe to escape further defeats in Asia. The very warlike Khazars did not find it difficult to subdue and conquer the 25 peaceful agricultural nations occupying approximately 1,000,000 square miles in Eastern Europe. In a comparatively short period the Khazars established the largest and most powerful kingdom in Europe.

Why and how has the origin and history of the Khazars and Khazar Kingdom been so well concealed from the world for so many centuries? Their relationship to the origin and early history of the so-called Jews in Eastern Europe was one of history’s best kept secrets until recent years. The Khazars were a pagan nation when they invaded Eastern Europe. Their religious worship was a mixture of phallic worship and other forms of idolatrous worship practiced in Asia by pagan nations. This form of worship continued until the 7th century. The vile forms of sexual excesses indulged in by the Khazars as their form of religious worship produced a degree of moral degeneracy the Khazar^’s king could not endure. In the 7th century King Bulan, ruler at that time of the Khazar Kingdom, decided to abolish the practice of phallic worship and other forms of idolatrous worship and make one of the three monotheistic religions, about which he knew very little, the new state religion. After a historic session with representatives of the three monotheistic religions King Bulan decided against Christianity and Islam and selected as the future state religion of the Khazar Kingdom the religious worship then known as Talmudism, and now known and practiced as Judaism.

King Bulan and 4,000 feudal nobles were promptly converted by rabbis imported from Babylonia for that event. Phallic worship and other forms of idolatry were thereafter forbidden. The Khazar king invited large numbers of rabbis to come and open synagogues and schools to instruct the population in the new form of religious worship. It was now the state religion. The converted Khazars were the first population of so-called JEWS in Eastern Europe. The following is from Volume IV, pages 1 to 5, of the Jewish Encyclopedia. The Jewish Encyclopedia refers to the Khazars as "Chazars". The two spellings are optional according to the best authorities.

"CHAZARS: A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF THE HISTORY OF THE JEWS OF RUSSIA... driven on by the nomadic tribes of the steppes and by THEIR OWN DESIRE FOR PLUNDER AND REVENGE... In the second half of the sixth century the Chazars moved west ward... The kingdom of the Chazars was firmly established in MOST OF SOUTH RUSSIA LONG BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE RUSSIAN MONARCH BY THE VARANGIANS (855)... At this time the kingdom of the Chazars stood at the height of its power AND WAS CONSTANTLY AT WAR... At the end of the 8th century... the chagan (king) of the Chazars and his grandees, TOGETHER WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF HIS HEATHEN PEOPLE, EMBRACED THE JEWISH RELIGION... The Jewish population in the entire domain of the Chazars, in the period between the seventh and tenth centuries, MUST HAVE BEEN CONSIDERABLE... about THE NINTH CENTURY, IT APPEARS AS IF ALL THE CHAZARS WERE JEWS AND THAT THEY HAD BEEN CONVERTED TO JUDAISM ONLY A SHORT TIME BEFORE... It was one of the successors of Bulan named Obadiah who regenerated the kingdom and STRENGTHENED THE JEWISH RELIGION. He invited Jewish scholars to settle in his dominions, and founded SYNAGOGUES AND SCHOOLS. The people were instructed in the Bible, Mishnah, and the TALMUD and in the ’divine service of the hazzanism’... In their writings the CHAZARS USED THE HEBREW LETTERS... THE CHAZAR LANGUAGES PREDOMINATED... Obadiah was succeeded by his son Hezekiah; the latter by his son Manasseh; Manasseh by Hanukkah, a brother of Obadiah; Hanukkah by his son Isaac; Isaac by his son Moses (or Manasseh II); the latter by his son Nisi; and Nisi by his son Aaron II. King Joseph himself was a son of Aaron, AND ASCENDED THE THRONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE CHAZARS RELATING TO SUCCESSION... The king and twenty-five wives, all of royal blood, and sixty concubines, all famous beauties. Each one slept in a separate tent and was also watched by a eunuch... THIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THE BEGINNING OF THE DOWNFALL OF THE CHAZAR KINGDOM... The Russians Varangians established themselves at Kiev until the final conquest of the Chazars by the Russians... After a hard fight the Russians conquered the Chazars... Four years later the Russians conquered all the Chazarian territory east of the Azov... Many members of the Chazarian royal family emigrated to Spain... Some went to Hungary, BUT THE GREAT MASS OF THE PEOPLE REMAINED IN THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY." The greatest historian on the origin and the history of the so-called Jews in Eastern Europe was Professor Heinrich Graetz, He points out in his famous "History of the Jews" that when so-called Jews in other countries heard a rumor about so-called Jews in the Khazar Kingdom they believed these converted Khazars to be the lost ten tribes. These rumors were no doubt responsible for the legend which states that Palestine was the homeland of the converted Khazars. On page 141 in his "History of the Jews" Professor H. Graetz states:

"The Chazars professed a coarse religion, which was combined with sensuality and lewdness... After Obadiah came a long series of Jewish Chagans (kings), for ACCORDING TO A FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF THE STATE ONLY JEWISH RULERS WERE PERMITTED TO ASCEND THE THRONE... For some time THE JEWS OF OTHER COUNTRIES HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE CONVERSION OF THIS POWERFUL KINGDOM TO JUDAISM, and when at last a vague rumor to this effect reached them, THEY WERE OF THE OPINION THAT CHAZARIA WAS PEOPLED BY THE REMNANT OF THE FORMER TEN TRIBES." When the Khazars in the 1st Century B.C. invaded Eastern Europe their mother-tongue was an Asiatic language, referred to in the Jewish Encyclopedia as the "Khazar language". They were primitive Asiatic dialects without any alphabet or any written form. When King Bulan was converted in the 7th Century he decreed that the Hebrew characters he saw in the Talmud and other Hebrew documents were to become the alphabet for the Khazar language. The Hebrew characters were adapted to the phonetics of the spoken Khazar language. The Khazars adopted the characters of the so-called Hebrew language in order to provide a means for providing a written record of their speech. The adoption of the Hebrew characters had no racial, political or religious implication.

Since the conquest of the Khazars by the Russians and the disappearance of the Khazar Kingdom the language of the Khazars is known as Yiddish. For about six centuries the so-called Jews of Eastern Europe have referred to themselves while still resident in their native Eastern European countries as Yiddish by nationality. They identified themselves as Yiddish rather than as Russian, Polish, Galician, Lithuanian, Rumanian, Hungarian or by the nation of which they were citizens. They also referred to the common language they all spoke as Yiddish.

Before it became known as the Yiddish language, the mother-tongue of the Khazars added many words to its limited ancient vocabulary as necessity required. These words were acquired from the languages of its neighboring nations with whom they had political, social or economic relations. Languages of all nations add to their vocabularies in the same way. The Khazars adapted words to their requirements from the German, the Slavonic and the Baltic languages. The Germans had a much more advanced civilization than their Khazar neighbors and the Khazars sent their children to German schools and universities. The Yiddish language is not a German dialect. Many people are led to believe so because Yiddish has borrowed so many words from the German language. If Yiddish is a German dialect acquired from the Germans then what language did the Khazars speak for the 1,000 years they existed in Eastern Europe before they acquired culture from the Germans? The Khazars must have spoken some language when they invaded Eastern Europe. What was that language? When did they discard it? How did the entire Khazar population discard one language and adopt another all of a sudden? The idea is too absurd to discuss. Yiddish is the modern name for the ancient mother-tongue of the Khazars with added German, Slavonic and Baltic words.

Yiddish must not be confused with "Hebrew" because they both use the same characters in their alphabets. There is not a word of Yiddish in ancient Hebrew nor is there one word of ancient Hebrew in Yiddish. It must not be confused with words like Jewish.

Directly north of the Khazar Kingdom at the height of its power a small Slavic state was organized in 820 A.D. on the south shore of the Gulf of Finland. This infant nation was even smaller than our state of Delaware. This newly-born state however, was the embryo which developed into the Russian Empire.

During the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th centuries the rapidly expanding Russian nation gradually swallowed up the Khazar Kingdom, its neighbor directly to the south. The conquest of the Khazar Kingdom by the Russians supplies history with the explanation for the presence after the 13th century of the large number of so-called Jews in Russia and in Europe. After the destruction of the Khazar Kingdom they were thereafter no longer known as Khazars but as the Yiddish populations of these many countries. They so refer to themselves today. Their common language, their common culture, their common religion, and their common racial characteristics classify them all beyond any question of doubt with the Khazars who invaded Eastern Europe in the last century B.C. and were converted to Talmudism in the 7th century.
