Westopia: An Epic Narrative Describing the History of the West post-Reformation and the Rise of New Peoples and Places in Conflict with the Old In anno domini 1650, the God of the West -- of the World -- was banned in Maryland. The Pure had come, had been given land, had found shelter under the Toleration Act -- yet acted with intolerance towards those who went to God with hearts much different from their own. The Pure were proud and firm -- like the Chosen People of the Old Testament -- the children of Abraham.

Millennia had passed and the children were grown -- enveloping within them some sense of the God of the West -- Christ Who redeemed them -- yet their sense was separate from that of the past: their doctrine was steeped in the predestinated forms of the Protestors -- of Luther and Zwingli and Knox and Calvin: these formed the basis of their doctrine; -- the popes of the past, God's representatives in the Church they ignored. Thus when the Church gave them an inch in Maryland -- they bit back and took a mile.

It was not long before the God of the West intervened -- through the sturdy and steady hand of the Calvert clan, who rode in to restore propriety and strike down the laws erected by the Puritans in Maryland. Not even a decade passed before this was done, and the Church and the Pure came to blows -- but it was all ordained from the beginning -- and it was all a part of the working out of salvation -- and these two mysteries clawed at the hearts of some in the New World. Ahab's creator -- the writer of the White Whale -- he plumbed these mysteries and probed them as deeply as any medieval scholastic ever did -- and he sought to slay the White Whale in writing -- and could not. The God of the Puritans was strong. Melville sank -- clutching to a life raft -- a Billy Budd in his desk drawer, a Bartleby in his corner.

By then the West had been redefined. The Original Chosen People -- Abraham's sons -- converts from Khazaria -- now rose up through the cracks in Christendom -- as the Protestants and the Pure and the Church came to blows, fighting in every corner: the Original Chosen People saw opportunity in division. They had already corrupted the hearts of the materialists -- those who sought usurious interests -- condemned by the Church in the Old Days -- yet made respectable in the new times now; it was a New World, reshaped by new doctrines -- money could beget money -- for the elect -- and the Pure and the Chosen now went hand in hand, supporting one another -- and yet one was the dog and one was the tail.

The New World grew and prospered: America's Manifest Destiny emerged at the end of the musket: fire pushed the borders -- the guns drove the natives -- the God of the West retreated and stood afar, watching his children lose ground to the God of the Pure, to the God of the Chosen. Together, the new lords and arbiters of the New World colluded to finish the Revolution in the West -- the Peace of Westphalia (lauded by Voltaire,...

The God of the West watched and waited and said to the Father of the Pure and of the Chosen:
"You may have 100 years to satisfy yourself. Do not ask for more. For 100 years I will let you reign over the world. Please yourself. Do for yourself as you wish. In the end, I will return and make straight the paths that you make crooked -- and all you do will be for naught. All you do will in the end be to my glory."

The Father of the Pure, the Proud and the Chosen was eager to have this freedom so that he might destroy the creation that the God of the West had brought into existence, that he might trouble men's minds and confound their hearts and bring them to ruin even as he exalted them in the world.

Trouble began immediately. In Russia, the crown was pulled and thrown to the dirt. The Chosen ascended in the West, in America, to the Courts, through the banks, to sit at the right hand of the President and pursue their own interests. War broke out in every corner. And the Chosen working with the Pure and the Proud obtained their own corner in Palestine and quickly they expanded their borders there and pursued their own Manifest Destiny, hurling out the natives there and any and all who objected. A new order was established in the New World -- an order that opposed the Old Order -- that rejected the principles lain out by the God of the West -- the God of the World -- millennia earlier in that same region now occupied by the Sons of Abraham -- the converts from Khazaria.

Into this fray was born a Son of Charlemagne, destined to lead Saxony against the Chosen. It was he who, catching the eye of the God of the West -- the God of the World -- opposed the world that had rejected Him and its past. The Son of Charlemagne was an artist and a fighter: his words and images could spring as hotly from his mind as bullets from a rifle -- seeking their target in the enemy -- fired to rout and destroy. His mettle was unrivaled by any in the world -- his will was incontestable, solid like a mighty oak hewed into a battering ram, determined to obliterate obstacles in its path. The Son of Charlemagne stood tall and spoke fiercely, befriending those who opposed the way of life that the New World had placed on them, who opposed the terms of the War -- the reparations that crippled and the immorality that made vice into virtue in their cities and streets.
