       note Pope JOHN PAUL II [#] who pointed out to the
            UNITED NATIONS in OCTOBER 1995 how
       lit+ " MODERN TOTALITARIANISM HAS BEEN ...
              DENYING THE INALIENABLE VALUE OF THE
       INDIVIDUAL'S LIFE ... THE VISION OF MAN AS A
       CREATURE OF INTELLIGENCE AND FREE WILL
       IMMERSED IN A MYSTERY WHICH TRANSCENDS HIS OWN BEING
       ENDOWED WITH THE ABILITY TO REFLECT AND
       THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE  AND THUS
       CAPABLE OF WISDOM AND VIRTUE ...
       THE BALTIC STATES ...
       EXTENSIVE TERRITORIES IN UKRAINE AND BELARUS

       AN INDIVIDUAL NATION IS NOT WORTHY OF EXISTENCE ...
       EVERY NATION ALSO ENJOYS THE RIGHT TO
       ITS OWN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE ...
       THAT WHICH I WOULD CALL
       ITS FUNDAMENTAL SPIRITUAL SOVEREIGNTY ..."
       for more see NATIONALISM below
       id+ NATIONALISM IS MYTHOLOGY OF A PEOPLE HELD IN COMMON
           IT IS A CLUE TO THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL MAKEUP [12]
       MYTHOLOGY as an IDEOLOGY or SYSTEM TO INTEGRATE
       A SOCIETAL MENTALITY WITH A WORLD OUTLOOK
       IS ONE MEANS TO FILL A VACUUM IN COGNITION OF
       THE WORLD AND IN THIS SENSE  NATIONALISTIC MYTHOLOGY
       IS MORE AKIN TO A FORM OF KNOWLEDGE MERGED WITH SOME
       SCIENCE  HISTORY  THAN WITH RELIGION   SIGNIFICANTLY
       CULTURAL HERITAGE AND TRADITIONS OF A PEOPLE ARE
       OFTEN ABOVE OR BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF RELIGION
       note THE TASK OF A POLITICAL LEADER IS
            TO INTERPRET THE PUBLIC MYTHS OF HIS PEOPLE
       consider COUNTY  COUNTRY

       hx> THIS CENTURY COULD BE VIEWED AS A
           PERIOD OF " SELF DETERMINISM "  one example
       COMMUNISTS USED "WARS OF NATIONAL LIBERATION" AS
       A DISRUPTIVE POLITICAL TOOL IN AFRICA AND ASIA
       in 1917 DJUGASHVILI [#] or STALIN [#] with
               VLADIMIR YLYANOV [#] or LENIN [#] signed a
       DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLES OF RUSSIA
       " ... THE FIRST CONGRESS OF SOVIETS
         IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR
         PROCLAIMED THE RIGHTS OF            sug> FRAUD

         THE FORMATION OF AN INDEPENDENT STATE ... "
         LENIN [#] WROTE TO ALL WORKERS AND PEASANTS IN UKRAINE
         AND ASKED THEM FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND HE RECOGNIZED
         THEIR EQUALITY WITH THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE
         BUT HE ALSO WROTE                   sug> HYPOCRITE
         " THE INTERESTS OF SOCIALISM ARE ABOVE
           THE INTERESTS OF THE RIGHT OF NATIONS TO
           SELF DETERMINATION "
         note that AFTER THE FIRST WORLD WAR
         FINLAND UKRAINE ESTONIA LATVIA LITHUANIA
         GEORGIA and ARMENIA DECLARED INDEPENDENCE FROM
         THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE BUT THE BOLSHEVIKS
         MADE WAR TO RECONSTITUTE THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE
         LED BY LEON DAVID TROTSKY [#] or BRONSTEIN [#]
         THE BOLSHEVIK RED ARMY
         SYSTEMATICALLY AND RUTHLESSLY DESTROYED
         ALL MOVEMENTS OF INDEPENDENCE
         NATIONALISM WAS EQUATED WITH ANTI COMMUNISM
         UKRAINE GEORGIA ARMENIA WERE "REUNITED"
         UNDER THE BANNER OF THE USSR BUT
         FINLAND ESTONIA LATVIA AND LITHUANIA REMAINED FREE
         UNTIL THE END OF WORLD WAR TWO
         VICTORIOUS USSR "REUNITED" THEM TO THE USSR
         AFTER THE IMPLOSION OF THE USSR IN 1990
         UKRAINE ESTONIA LATVIA AND LITHUANIA
         ONCE AGAIN DECLARED INDEPENDENCE AND
         REMAIN INDEPENDENT
         BELARUS ALSO BECAME INDEPENDENT BUT RECENT EVENTS
         SUGGEST THAT IT BELARUS WILL "REINTEGRATE" INTO
         THE "GREATER" RUSSIAN "FEDERATION"
         GEORGIA ARMENIA CHECHENIA ALSO DECLARED INDEPENDENCE
               AT THE TIME OF THE IMPLOSION OF THE USSR BUT
               WERE UNABLE TO LEAVE THE RUSSIAN "FEDERATION"
~ NATIONALISM  DEVOTION TO A NATION OR PEOPLE       sug> DOGMA
               as in PATRIOTISM CHAUVINISM
         note Pope JOHN PAUL II [#] POINTED OUT IN OCTOBER
         1995 DURING HIS VISIT TO THE UNITED NATIONS
         lit+ "... FROM BITTER EXPERIENCE ...
               WE KNOW
               THAT THE FEAR OF "DIFFERENCE" CAN LEAD TO
         A DENIAL OF THE VERY HUMANITY OF "THE OTHER" ...
         A CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN WHICH NO ONE IS SPARED
         NOT EVEN THE CHILDREN ...      sug> HOLOCAUST GENOCIDE
         DIFFERENT CULTURES ARE BUT DIFFERENT WAYS OF
         FACING THE QUESTION OF THE MEANING OF
         PERSONAL EXISTENCE ...
         AN UNHEALTHY FORM OF NATIONALISM ...
         TEACHES CONTEMPT FOR OTHER NATIONS ...

         hx> NOTE HOW ROMANS PROMOTED THE EXTINCTION OF
             ETRUSCAN  A CULTURE THAT FERTILIZED THEIR OWN
         for more see> FREEDOM
         id+ NATIONALISM CAN BE SAID TO BE BASED ON CRITERIA
             THAT ARE INHERENT or INBORN or more precisely
         IMPLICIT IN A PERSON  THEREFORE SUCH A
         PERSON INHERENTLY HAS THE TRAITS OF A
         NATIONAL GROUP AND IS IMMUNE FROM REJECTION
         in this regard NATIONALISM OFFERS AN IDENTITY
         WHICH IS INSURED AND INDEPENDENT OF MERIT
         and akin to RACE TRIBE CLAN or FAMILY
         WHILE REJECTION CAN BE BASED ON CULTURAL or
         POLITICAL CRITERIA  A NATIONALITY LABEL IS
         IMMUNE TO SUCH JUDGMENTS as in
         note ISRAEL ASSURES PROTECTION TO ALL JEWS
               perhaps the above is one reason for
         NATIONALISTIC UNITS TO INCREASE IN NUMBERS BY
         A FRAGMENTATION OF MULTI ETHNIC STATES as in the
         USA WHERE FRAGMENTATION IS CONSIDERABLE as in
         SOUTHERNER  ALABAMIAN  CAJUN  OF AFRICAN ANCESTRY
         SUCH FRAGMENTATION MAY INSULATE or BE INSULAR
         HOWEVER IT ALSO PROVIDES FOR AN IDENTITY IN AN
         OTHERWISE AMORPHOUS MASS or PANMIXIS OF PEOPLE
         id+ NATIONALISM IS ABOVE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY
             A NATIONALIST CAN ESPOUSE A VARIETY OF
         POLITICAL PERSUASIONS
         note the contrast with PLURALISM WHERE A COMMON
         CITIZENSHIP AND CIVILIZATION IS UNDERSCORED
         hx> IN WESTERN EUROPE NATIONALISM EMERGED DURING
             THE RENAISSANCE    A COMPLEX LATE PHENOMENON
         WELL ILLUSTRATED IN UKRAINE                 <see

      CONFISCATED or " NATIONALIZED " FROM PRIVATE COLLECTORS
  THE PUSHKIN MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS IN MOSCOW AS WELL AS
  MOST OTHERS IN RUSSIA DISPLAY MOSTLY "CONFISCATED" OBJECTS
  THE COMMISSARS OF THE PEOPLE PASSED A DECREE IN
  SEPTEMBER 19TH OF 1918 AND CONFISCATED FAMOUS COLLECTIONS
  AMONG THEM THOSE OF SERGEI SHCHUKIN AND IVAN MOROZOV
  note SIMILAR ACTS BY NUMEROUS GOVERNMENTS
  THE LONDON GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGED LOOTING OF FOREIGN ART BY
  PRIVATE  "NOT AUTHORIZED" ENTREPRENEURS   THE IDEA WAS THAT
  THE STOLEN ART WOULD WITH TIME END IN
  " NATIONAL " MUSEUMS as it occured in the case of the
  PARTHENON TREASURES
  note  ART WAS LOOTED BY NAPOLEON  HITLER  STALIN and others
  art> THE VIRGIN AND CHILD BY THE BOTTICELLI SCHOOL SHOWN IN
       THE PUSHKIN MUSEUM OF MOSCOW WAS " EXPROPRIATED " from
  the Princess Ekaterina MESHCHERSKAYA [#]
