The President Who Died for Us
By RICHARD WIGHTMAN FOX
Worcester, Mass.
THIS year, Good Friday, the day commemorating Christ's crucifixion, falls on April 14, as it did in 1865. On that evening, in the balcony box of Ford's Theater in Washington, John Wilkes Booth fired a handmade .41-caliber derringer ball into the back of Abraham Lincoln's head.
*****
In which it is related that . "Jesus Christ died for the world," said the Rev. C. B. Crane in Hartford. "Abraham Lincoln died for his country." …plus …”: "It may be almost impious to say it, but it does seem that Lincoln's death parallels that of the Son of God," words of Garfield. Linking the fact that his death April 14, ’65 coincided this year with Passover- Easter ccommenorations. It would have been too much to expect, really, for the Times’ editors and Mr. Fox (credited as“religion writer”, doing book on Pope Benedictus XVI) to have passed up the opportunity to post this: “Most American Christians turned to the Jesus analogy because they realized how much they loved Lincoln. They took his loss as personal, often comparing it to a death in the family. Many felt attached to Lincoln almost as they felt attached to Jesus.” And, most shamefully, this: “he can — and should — stand as historic demonstration that a republican hero's sacrifice for the people comes very close to Christ's ideals of self-denial and self-giving. (credit: Richard Wightman Fox, the author of "Jesus in America: Personal Savior, Cultural Hero, National Obsession," is writing a book about the aftermath of Lincoln's assassination.)
This ecumenicalism called for by a Catholic writer, preaching the abolutionist’s man Lincoln for todays “(R)epublican party cause, has an vivid, seldom mentioned conspiratorial connection with the event at Ford’s Theatre that day, and the “Know Nothing” political party. It has never been settled beyond controversy whether John Wilkes Booth was a Catholic; the data is available through google. One reason given for saying he was not – it was a touchy subject in those days, because the American Party had its roots in FreeMason lodges, where Catholics, in particular, were not welcome, but a few Jews had got in, historically. These Free-Mason based Know Nothings (so-called by their verbal quip whenever asked about politics – taking advantage of the secret ballot) had arisen almost overnight on the scene of American politics, Andriding White Anglo Saxon Protestant “nativist” rancor against the wave of Irish Catholic immigrants in the East and Mexican cathedral outposts in the Southwest. This was not white-black racist conflict, at all. It was economic rights -- they got the jobs to build the canals; squater’s (“we were here first”) rights; rejection of religious bloc-voting dictated from the Vatican in Rome; unabashed anti-Catholic animosity among some, represented by Bill the Butcher in The Gangs of New York movie. They regarded themselves as Sons of the original Fathers of the Revolution. The conspiracy angle would be, the abolitionist nutcase Booth wormed into one of their lodges precisely in order to carry out the assassination: discreding them, while simultaneously empowering the Union with a genuine martyr. And, of course, freeing the slaves.
Restaging all this in Nebraska, a swing state in the United States, has that same CNN touch as the pink triangle dad’s kid rolling easter eggs on the WH lawn.
Today, Brown is the color of the wave of illegal immigrants thronging the streets from LA to Atlanta. Flying the Mexican flag, protesting for rights, the sight is guaranteed to excite ‘nativist’ rancor. Blessed by the good Roman Catholic Archbishop, they empower the religious wing of conservatism, “republicans” getting introduced to Lincoln this easter.

Iran Brown was the name of the 14 year old boy shot by a sniper in the DC area in late summer of ’02.
Bodies showing up here and there amidst rubble. You never used to see that. As if to say: “That’s all there is. Human mortality stripped of pretense.”
ELABORATION … The Religious grammatical factor
Killing Christ by giving away His distinctiveness.
This comes from merging the innocent blood self-sacrificed for all humanity, with the innocent blood of all humanity sacrificed. In symbolic terms: Taking Calvary to depict “martyrdom”, common to all who endure innocent suffering and death; a vivid picture of man’s inhumanity to man.
Thesis:
Christians so-called through the adult baptism, cannot settle for that, but must hold the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the Cross to be unique, historically, metaphysically and epistemically.
The adult baptism, as by Phillip of the Centurion (Acts ) was administered with a particular experience, mediated by the apostles, and Paul. It is spoken of as unique inner event, involving realization, through it, at the moment, of connection with a higher order of things actualized by Jesus Christ’s teachings, death and resurrection*. It has nothing to do with the Jewish ancestry of Jesus (see below). What is transmitted throughout the crescent around the Mediterranean in the first century A.D. as Christianity is to the Gentiles and goes over into Greek ideograms. The Jews come to be renounced by Paul as not worth receiving the Gospel.
Historically: the spiritual efflorescence of a species unique among humans: from the seed of Jesse, through Mary, impregnated by the Spirit, the Only Begotten Son of God. His perfection as a man in whom no fault was found completed the inner meaning of their “messiah”, and those who accept Christ through the Apostles and Paul accept this interpretation of the inner continuity of the Jews as a people and the message that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God, born of Mary, etc..
Metaphysically, the difference lies in how the gap between the point of view of the scene of the crucifixion on Golgatha illustrated (existing) in the perception of Christ on the Cross – what he saw, looking down, assuming consciousness; and the point of view of the mob below, looking up at the sight of the pierced body. Although these are brought together in the same picture, they are to be juxtaposed at all levels, since the mob below represents humanity, in the form of Jewish rabble seeing what they are, acting out what they would bring truth about themselves to, dying in excruciating pain before their eyes. Him knowing that; and knowing they, also know that at the deepest level of their Jewish spirituality.
It could be any mob killing their God, but it was in fact the Jewish mob, killing the fruit of Mary’s womb, Jesus.
His Spirit then passed from Jerusalem to the Gentiles, spreading through Asia Minor, Greece to Rome.
There is a metaphysical “Y” in this juxtaposed disjunct. The perception of Christ must be claimed as human, a content of consciousness like we have, whether one “believes in” him or not. The perception from below is distributed among individuals, each seeing the crucifixion his or her own way, but from the perspective of a group-criminal retribution ritual. Like hanging the wrong man, except infinitely worse, the Man of wronged men, one who would put an end to this particular wrongness, by hanging there for all to see. “Don’t you see?” A distinctively human process is at work, beyond the human side of consciousness itself, even Jewish. When the One through Whom that message is mediated happens to have left behind a historical life poured out teaching about a realm caked “the kingdom of heaven”, which he claimed to be from, and to be a faith-portal through which might enter, As preachers are always pointing out, it would be unbelievable to suppose all this came to dominate the collective dream-life by sheer accident, or even by some non-lawful process, or “God’s plan”. For a dream-state denoument it certainly is, a miniature of the bi-millenial drama od human history, a long-running fantasy- feature if there ever was one.
The metaphysical Y is whether the inner side of Christ’s consciousness, looking down, has another side, connected to another realm of reality, which requires just that perspective of mob mentality, internalized and rejected, to attain its next higher level of devekopment. This Y cannot be resolved without commitment to one fork of the Way or another, once realized, because not taking one side or the other when the totality is at stake is equivalent to taking the non-totality, the dream-state vrs. higher reality. This was the story of The Matrix movies, incidentally; there is a choice to let everything keep going the way the are after it is realized they must repeat endlessly, leading to nowhere beyond. Except the movie folded in the alternate Way made by “Neo” in the radical decision to opt out, back into the “save Zion” mythology, bringing the discussion back again tto the Passover/Easter conjunction.
It would seem as if today, those who would celebrate Christian Easter can only oppose, not merge generic sentiment with, those who celebrate Passover, but, by consideration of both long past and recent patterns of behavior, eschew them.
In the Book of Acts, what are called “the Jews” are constantly harassing, imprisoning, stoning, beating, plotting to kill break-away Judaics who followed the Apostles. “When they hear this, they were furious and plotted to kill them.” (Acdts 5.33) “And the stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and sahying “Lord, Lord, receive my spirit.” (Acts 7.59) “Now after many days were past, thje Jews plotted to kill him.” (Acts 9.23) “But the Jews stirred uip the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas.” (Acts 13.50) “Then the Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.” (Acts 14,19) “and the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Sysria.” (Acts 20,3) And, finally, Paul to the Ephesian elders: “You know in what manner I always lived among you, serving the Lord with all humility with many tears and trials which happened to me by the plotting of the Jews.” (Acts 20.18f) So if we are going to start blaming the Jews for this and that, it won’t do to stop with killing Christ. Merging Christ’s Crucifixion (sans resurrection, usually) with Jewish Passover is also to scourge Paul, and seek to reduce Christianity to a Mother’s religion. (Why the Resurrection is usually ignored – too Male/Father.)
The blood of innocents of recent tragedies has also been mixed with blood of Christ this Easter. Tapes of voices of doomed suffering victims of Flight 93 for ready for CNN this time. The trial of Maussaoui permitted 9ll World Trade Center victims to be heard; with Rudolph Giuliani giving heroic testimony. This repeated generic blending of what Christians hold with its opposite, not just ignoring categorical, and incompatible differences, but putting them together in order to conflict with each other is metaphysically and humanly abhorrent, That holds, which ever side one is on. It is the ultimate psychological violence.
THE JUDAS GOSPEL
Killing Christ by mixing his spilt blood with human tragedy has been accompanied by the poisoning of the New Testament message by announcement of the discovery of a “Gospel of Judas”, in which Iscariot apparently did not die in Akel Dama, Field of Blood, being “burst open in the middle with all his entrails gushed out”, as Acts 1.16f attests. “Men and Brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17, for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”
These details are born out by the document. What is striking is the distance posited between himself and the other disciples:
“Judas said: “Master, as you have listened to all of them, now also listen to me. Fir I have seen a great vision.”
“When Jesus heard this, he laughed and saidf dto him, “You thirteenth spiritm, why do you try so hard? But speak up, and I shall bear with you.”
His \ different-ness is also marked in Matthew 10.4 where Judas Iscariot is named among the twelve with the comment “who also betrayed him.”
The ones betrayed today are the people of America. The Judases are the Libby Lobby. Since they also control the media, that explains why this appears now: to reverse the reversal that Easter means to Judaism.
“But ‘Christ’ IS the Christian religious version of the Archetypal dying- resurrected god-figure worshipped throughout the Mesopotamian/Mediterranean
basic from antiquity. Others are the Egyptian Bull-worshippers, lashing themselves into a frenzy before sacrificing the Apis Bull at Heliopolis; Adonis’ followers in later Greece; the Beltane rutting ritual in Avalon… At this time, the One representing the apex of the species is put to death, and rises again
Symbol of highest creativity, virility, vitality, fecundity taken up to the highest spiritual t levels. What Divini8ty is, in a man. in Jesus’ case from the stock of Israel’s King David, son of Jesse, but this is still only from the side of the Mother.
