I enjoy reading broad overviews like this, especially for its specific reference to characters, dates, geography and cultures. The history we are fed by institutional historians is either fragmented or one-sided, preventing a holistic understanding. I always appreciate Matthew's wide-ranging command of history and ability to present it succinctly.

This article answers three questions in the affirmative:

1. Did Khazaria exist?

2. Was it dominated by jews?

3. Did it have an outsize influence on global economics?

So what was the result? A global system based on usury and humanism. Exactly what we have today.

The fact that the Khazaria and its descendants cooperated with powerful elites from other faiths is hardly a defense.

Peasants were enslaved then and their labor stolen to build global empires and it is still happening.

Under the pretty pictures, poetry and fine bridges lies a darker truth unexplored in this essay. The word slave is rooted in "slav", because Russians were taken by Khazarians and sold to muslims.

I am stunned by this information. If there is a lesson in all this, it is that we should be wary of demonizing any particular group. However, it is undeniable that humanity has been under the heel of an elite parasitic class for thousands of years. Call it Babylonian, Venetian, Roman or Kazarian, they appear throughout history causing wars, chaos and human suffering while exploiting the resources of the planet for their own benefit. The Russian czar kicked the criminal Kazarian class out of what is now known as Ukraine, and this is the root of the current conflict currrently playing out. It is said the the Kazarians were never real Jews, and adopted Judaism out of convenience and political expediency. This, of course, does not mean all Kazarians were evil. However, I am taking issue with Matt regarding David Icke. I am a huge fan of his. There is a cosmic element to all of this drama that Matt seems to be unaware of. There is sooooo much more to the story.....

I'm not buying this whitewash of Khazaria.

Enlightening! I suffered from the “Kazarian Mafia” hoax, and am concerned as to who perpetuated it and understand as to why.
