What do we mean when we use this term? And who exactly are our enemies? Who is it that waits in hiding to take what from us? What patrimony or treasure do we have that anyone is interested in holding back?

It’s difficult to know when you “belong” in Assyria because no matter which point of view you hold, three other groups or even one individual can brand you a traitor and an enemy and out you go…tossed from an “Assyria” that’s as shifty and impermanent as a floating crap game. Dr Joseph is considered by many to be the arch-enemy of Assyria. How did we come to the point when a man of his accomplishment, so well respected in that outside world beyond Turlock and Clark Street comes to be our enemy? While someone as unprepossessing and downright foolish as Fred Aprim wins our praise?

Can a community survive with “enemies” such as Dr Joseph or “friends” such as Fred Aprim?

Does Aprim think the State Department, or any official body, consult his book when they want to know about us and our national claims? Yet he seems genuinely puzzled that they don’t call on him…for his amateur’s expertise. This is the danger of being so insular and tribal. We need so desperately to praise our hairy brutes, at the same time we don’t want to see little Ashurbanipal throw a conniption fit if he attends a real school of music, so we tell him his piano playing is just what it should be…for such a genius boy.

While Fred is quickly disabused of his inherent genius in other fields, because he has to actually produce for once, where, “I believe five plus five is seventy-three because I KNOW”…just won’t do…so that no matter how full his head is of stuffing regarding his lineal ancestry, he’s forced to unbend enough from his lofty pedigree to learn math like any other boy of moderate intelligence and maybe even earn a useless degree in mechanical engineering….but all these nationalists, where their ancestral claims are conderned, when they were tots, learned that whatever they said, no matter how absurd, so long as it was filled with bombast regarding their noble ancestry was not only never questioned but their elders encouraged them to be ever more outrageous in their claims…so that as adults they merely “know” they’re right and anyone who crosses them arouses that child in them who was never crossed by mama and qasha Jesus when he said he was Shlamanessar’s young prince.

The State Department calls on real experts in the field…and none of them are mechanical engineers with middling English language skills and a playroom strewn with the mangled carcasses of reference books which have been evicerated in the quest for “proof”. These people come seeking Dr Joseph and others with the same area of expertise…and that well may be the reason we haven’t been even more embarrassed than we have already.
