In Arabic, the name Guadalajara evoked a valley of stones, a valley my ancestors had settled more than eight hundred years earlier. They had carried the disease of empire to Spain, the Spaniards had brought it to the new continent, and someday the people of the new continent would plant it elsewhere. That was the way of the world.
Laila Lalami (The Moor's Account)
Morbid, but not passive. “I was speaking at a film school in Hollywood, and I said to them, ‘Go have a life. Live. Get laid, get into a bar fight. Get knifed in the fucking thorax. Lose all your money. Make all your money back. Jump into a train.’ When I was just a child, I was observing the world, but I lived a lot, too. We used to break into abandoned houses. We explored the entire sewer system of Guadalajara on foot. And then I became really crazy as a teenager.
Guillermo del Toro (Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities: My Notebooks, Collections, and Other Obsessions)
Essere giovane e non essere rivoluzionario è una contraddizione perfino biologica.” - I vecchi giovani e i giovani vecchi - discorso tenuto nel dicembre del 1972 “Ser joven y no ser revolucionario, es una contradicción hasta biológica.” - a una gran cantidad de estudiantes de la Universidad de Guadalajara en México.
Salvador Allende
White is an identity marker for the deracinated people who have no religion.
E. Michael Jones (Ethnos Needs Logos: Why I Spent Three Days in Guadalajara Trying to Persuade David Duke to Become a Catholic)
Ethnos needs Logos, especially if it aspires, as every ethnic group does, to become a nation.

Feeling the inevitable claim of the this desert, he experienced a desire to throw off his civilized costume, hurl himself upon Josephina, either succumb, or return to Guadalajara, where men could only complain of having too many buttons to button or unbutton...

Lope Félix de Vega Carpio nació el 25 de noviembre de 1562, en Madrid, en la Puerta de Guadalajara (parte de la calle Mayor comprendida entre la Cava de San Miguel y la calle de Milaneses) y fué bautizado el 6 del siguiente diciembre en la hoy desaparecida parroquia de San Miguel de los Octoes.
Lope de Vega (Obras: Colección Integral de Lope de Vega)
the state of nature is rather a state of injustice, of violence, of uncontrolled natural impulses, and of inhuman deeds and emotions.

As an instance of an intended act, Napoleon emancipated the Jews; as an instance of an unintended act which manifested the "cunning of reason," Napoleon created German nationalism by the very act of abolishing the Holy Roman Empire.

Y todavía lo remueve a uno por dentro y le empaña los ojos ver en las fotos y los viejos documentales de la liberación de París, cuando pasan los carros blindados aliados por las calles, aplaudidos y besados por franceses y francesas, a un montón de fulanos bajitos, morenos y sonrientes, despechugados de uniforme y siempre con un pitillo a medio fumar en la boca, y leer con asombro los nombres que esos tipos indestructibles pintaron sobre el acero para bautizar sus tanques: Guernica, Guadalajara, Brunete, Don Quijote o España Cañí.
Arturo Pérez-Reverte (Una historia de España (Spanish Edition))
The Blessed Mother, bearer of the Logos Incarnate, had brought the logos to the warring, disillusioned, and defeated tribes of Mexico and had created out of this warring diversity one nation with a Messianic mission. Mexico was the "cosmic race." Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared as a mestiza, the mixture of European and Native American races. She was the cosmic symbol of the race mixing which the English had feared since the moment they had set foot on the soil of the New World. She was the symbol of Mexican identity. She was the symbol of Catholic race-mixing and the antithesis of England's (and later) America's and (still later) Germany's short-lived ideology of racial superiority.

When “free trade” was imposed upon the Ottoman Empire in 1838 and British cloth “flooded the market in Izmir,” local cotton workers lost their ability to maintain their old production regime. In coastal southeastern Africa, cotton yarn and cloth imports also began to devastate the local cotton textile industry. In Mexico, European cotton imports had a serious impact on local manufacturing—before tariffs enabled Mexican industrialization, Guadalajara’s industry had been, as one historian found, “virtually eliminated.” In Oaxaca, 450 out of 500 looms ceased operating. In China, the 1842 Treaty of Nanking forced the opening of markets, and the subsequent influx of European and North American yarn and cloth had a “devastating” effect, especially on China’s hand spinners.22

Mayhem and uncertainty in Mexico caused the US State Department to devise, in 2018, a new, four-tier advisory system for travelers to the country, to replace the previous system of unspecific travel warnings and travel alerts: Level 1, Exercise Normal Precautions (much of Mexico); Level 2, Exercise Increased Caution (Cancún, Cozumel, Mexico City); Level 3, Reconsider Travel (Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco); and Level 4, Do Not Travel (Acapulco, Zihuatanejo, Taxco).
Paul Theroux (On The Plain Of Snakes: A Mexican Journey)
Excavations in the ruins of the immense royal city of Recópolis (near Zorita de los Canes in the province of Guadalajara), built by the Visigoth king Leovigild, have shown a topographic imitation of Constantinople, the existence of an aqueduct, a palatial basilica (likely an imitation of the Greek Christian basilica of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople), commercial and residential centers, paved streets, coin manufacturing, sturdy buildings constructed with stones extracted with Roman technology from local stone quarries, and other features usually associated with thriving Greek-Roman cities.
Darío Fernández-Morera (The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise: Muslims, Christians, and Jews under Islamic Rule in Medieval Spain)
Cuando el llamado Divo de Juárez estaba en uno de sus mejores momentos lo contrataron para una fiesta de Don Neto. Una muy especial. Eran los tiempos cuando en todas partes sonaba su canción “Querida”, una de las más populares en su historia discográfica. “Querida, cada momento de mi vida, yo pienso en ti más cada día, mira mi soledad…” La fiesta fue en el rancho La Herradura ubicado por la carretera que conduce al Aeropuerto Internacional de Guadalajara, en el pueblo de Atequiza. El invitado de honor de Don Neto era el tristemente célebre colombiano Pablo Escobar. Uno de los acompañantes de Escobar que tenía la confianza para jugarle bromas pesadas se acercó a Juan Gabriel y le ofreció un millón de dólares si le daba un beso al capo colombiano. —No, me va a matar —respondió temeroso el Divo. —No te mata. —No me vas a dar el dinero. —Sí te lo doy. El cantante, seguramente más por intimidación que por dinero, fue y sorpresivamente le plantó un beso en los labios a Escobar. Lira vio la escena con los ojos abiertos como plato, estupefacto. Instantáneamente Escobar sacó su pistola, Don Neto también. El compañero de Escobar se levantó de inmediato y le explicó que era una broma orquestada por él. Don Neto soltó la carcajada, a Escobar no le causó ninguna gracia, pero tuvo que aguantar y también rio para no sentirse más ridículo. Juan Gabriel ya no continuó el show y se esfumó antes de que Escobar cambiara de opinión.
Anabel Hernández (Emma y las otras señoras del narco (Spanish Edition))
Our first stop on the long march south was Guadalajara, a small town that was established by Nuño de Guzmán and that, like Compostela, he had named after a city in Spain. I could not understand this habit of naming settlements after Spanish cities even when, as in the case of Guadalajara, that city had received its name from those who had conquered it. In Arabic, the name Guadalajara evoked a valley of stones, a valley my ancestors had settled more than eight hundred years earlier. They had carried the disease of empire to Spain, the Spaniards had brought it to the new continent, and someday the people of the new continent would plant it elsewhere. That was the way of the world.
Laila Lalami (The Moor's Account)
They sat around the dining table looking innocuous as they awaited my chilled avocado soup. The mango-cilantro salsa made a colorful garnish. But when I brought it out to the table, Todd, the painter, said he was allergic to mangoes, and Carlos from Guadalajara hated cilantro. How could a Mexican hate cilantro, I thought as I spooned out the garnish from Carlos’s bowl. Margo, the macrobiotic, wouldn’t eat avocado since it wasn’t native to the Northeast, and Robert, the banker on the Pritikin diet, was banned from eating it because it was high in fat. Things got progressively worse. Niloufer, the daughter of a Turkish diplomat, took one look at my dolma and said, “That doesn’t look like the ones my grandmother made.” Reza, the Iranian consultant, announced that he wouldn’t eat Turkish food, since his ancestors were murdered by Turks. Todd, I discovered, was allergic not only to mangoes but also to cabbage. He was the only one in the group who touched my umeboshi-cranberry sauce, which the entire group pronounced inedible. Olivia, my fashionable Italian friend, stated that she “simply couldn’t” eat the pine nuts that I had liberally included in my dolma stuffing, and spent the entire meal scratching her plate to spot and discard the offenders. With each dish, I had to recite its ingredients in excruciating detail and answer questions—had I used stone-ground flour? Was the produce organic (it wasn’t)? —all of which determined who would deign to eat my delicacies.

Mexican right-wing talk radio wants a fence built on their southern border to keep out those damned Hondurans and Salvadorans and Guatemalans. I heard a radio host in Guadalajara decry these “aliens.” It seems Hondurans want to take Mexican jobs. Want to steal health care, get an education. They don’t share the proper language, and they carry disease and lower the standard of living and want to steal social security benefits. Rushito Limbortinez in the house!
Luis Alberto Urrea (The Devil's Highway: A True Story)
El ser mexicano", pinche concepto para el que no basta un Laberinto de la Soledad. ¡No manches!, sí que nos hemos llenado de pedos desde que a un güey se le ocurriera que el mejor lugar para fundar una ciudad era sobre un lago...
José Baroja (Sueño en Guadalajara y otros cuentos)
When Napoleon crossed the Rhine, the German princes panicked, knowing that Napoleon's first goal was the confiscation of their wealth. As a result, the Prince of Hesse-Cassel gave his gold to Mayer Amschel Rothschild, who then sent it out of the country, to his son Nathan, who was living in London. Having inside information about Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, Nathan made a fortune by using the Prince of Hesse-Cassel's gold to speculate on the British consol. As a result, he became the richest man in England. Over the course of the next century, the Rothschild family and other Jewish usurers used that wealth to enslave the English aristocracy with debt. The most prominent example was the Churchill family. When Winston Churchill's father died, he was 60,000 pounds in debt to Natty Rothschild. By forgiving Randolph's debt, Natty Rothschild made his son Winston a pawn of Jewish interests, a fact which led indirectly to World War

The Holy Roman Empire was the Germanic successor of the Roman Empire. It wasn't a state — the Germans would not have their own state until 1871 — so much as a patchwork of German ethnic groups organized by the Catholic Church. Because the Holy Roman Empire was an essentially Catholic construct, Germany had been fatally weakened by the Reformation. The ease with which Napoleon conquered the German principalities was proof of that.

watching the original thousand-year Reich collapse before his eyes, the 36-year-old Hegel felt compelled to come up with an explanation and this led him to formulate a philosophy of history.
E. Michael Jones (Ethnos Needs Logos: Why I Spent Three Days in Guadalajara Trying to Persuade David Duke to Become a Catholic)
Kant's articulation of the synthetic a priori put an end to Hume's skepticism and set the stage for the full flowering of German thought in Hegel, who reintroduced Logos to the post-Enlightenment West and simultaneously set the stage for the emergence of the German nation in 1871.

its attachment to Newtonian physics and its global pre-eminence after the defeat of Napoleon, England had succeeded in creating a dead materialistic universe which was philosophically incoherent and which promoted an idea of motion which lacked telos (all motion had become what the Scholastics would call "violent motion"). As a result life had become radically contingent. There was no plan, because, according to Positivism, there was no history. There were only atoms in motion, and those balls in motion had no history.
E. Michael Jones (Ethnos Needs Logos: Why I Spent Three Days in Guadalajara Trying to Persuade David Duke to Become a Catholic)
Hegel broke this intellectual logjam by doing the impossible. He came up with a philosophy of history, and he did this by eliminating contingency: The sole aim of philosophy is to eliminate the contingent. Contingency is the same as external necessity, that is, a necessity which originates in causes which are themselves no more than external circumstances. In history we must look for a general design, the ultimate end of the world, and not a particular end of the subjective spirit or mind, and we must comprehend it by means of reason, which cannot concern itself with particular and finite ends but only with the absolute.
E. Michael Jones (Ethnos Needs Logos: Why I Spent Three Days in Guadalajara Trying to Persuade David Duke to Become a Catholic)
Reason is not contingent. Reason is necessary. Reason is self-sufficient. Reason brings itself into existence and carries itself into effect. Thought must become conscious of this end of reason. The history of the world is a rational process whose author is God. If creation is a manifestation of God's creative power in space, then history is a manifestation of God's creative power in time: the divine wisdom is one and the same in great things and small. It is the same in plants and insects as in the destinies of entire nations and empires, and we must not imagine that God is not powerful enough to apply his wisdom to things of great moment.

Besides nature is a theater of secondary importance compared with world history.

The Jews began by wanting to have the Messiah save them on their terms, which were suffused with racial pride. When the Jews tell Jesus in John 8 that they are the "seed of Abraham," in Greek "sperma Abraam," He changes the term of the argument by replying, "if you were Abraham's children, you would do as Abraham did." A child has free will; DNA (sperma Abraam) does not. In rebuking the Jews, Jesus repudiates their racism, as well as the racism of every Judaizing sect in history which would claim that their particular ethnic group was the master race. If God's chosen people cannot make that claim, i.e., they are superior because of their biology, no one can.
E. Michael Jones (Ethnos Needs Logos: Why I Spent Three Days in Guadalajara Trying to Persuade David Duke to Become a Catholic)
the term Jew in the Gospel of St. John is no longer a purely racial term. Jew has now come to mean a rejecter of Christ. Race is no longer the focus; Logos is, in particular the Logos of practical reason, which is the criterion of good choice. The Jews who accept Jesus will henceforth be known as Christians. The Jews who reject him are known henceforth as "Jews." This is admittedly a bit confusing. As St. John reports in the Apocalypse, "those who call themselves Jews" are really "liars" and members of the "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9, 3:9).

The normal form of motion always involves telos or goal," I say, trying to get a word in edgewise. "Motion involves the transition from an acorn to an oak. Newton made violent motion the paradigm for all motion because it was the perfect description of the actions of William of Orange, the usurper whom the Whigs put on the throne in England. The impetus for all motion now came from without. There was no telos. All motion was a function of human will and intention.

Napoleon's emancipation of the Jews had a number of unforeseen consequences as well. He got his first inkling of what they were when he passed through Strasbourg on his way back to Paris after the battle of Jena. The citizens of Strasbourg, who now had to accept the Jews, who up to that time had been merely tolerated as resident aliens, as their equals, complained to Napoleon that the Jews used their new-found status as citizen to cheat Strasbourg's Christian population.

Since man is a rational creature, he can only attain freedom through the exercise of his reason, something more difficult in the primitive state than in civilization.

But it is from this very conflict and destruction of particular things that the universal emerges, and it remains unscathed itself. For it is not the universal Idea which enters into opposition, conflict, and danger; it keeps itself in the background, untouched and unharmed, and sends forth the particular interests of passion to fight and wear themselves out in its stead. It is what we may call the cunning of reason that it sets the passions to work in its service, so that the agents by which it gives itself existence must pay the penalty and suffer the loss.
E. Michael Jones (Ethnos Needs Logos: Why I Spent Three Days in Guadalajara Trying to Persuade David Duke to Become a Catholic)
David was having a difficult time understanding that Newton's redefinition of all motion as violent motion was a piece of metaphysical sleight of hand that continued to produce evil consequences, the most evil being the world-wide hegemony of Capitalism.

Todos recordaban la leyenda de aquella bomba que no estalló al caer sobre las lineas republicanas en el frente de Guadalajara, y la emoción legendaria del artillero que la desmontó por curiosidad, para encontrar dentro un papel escrito en un español sólo aproximado pero más que legible, camaradas, las bombas que yo armo, no explotan. La guerra de España había sido la guerra de un anónimo obrero alemán, y esta guerra era también la suya.
Almudena Grandes (El corazón helado)
They did not see the newly ordained Padre Juan Andrés Villalobos, a cura trained in Guadalajara, who regularly prayed before a cathedral retablo resplendent with more gold than they had ever seen in their lives.

had seen women like her in Guadalajara, pious, wealthy women with hands as soft as a lamb’s spring coat, utterly incapable of working. Such people could not survive long in the country.

Xavier M. Sotelo (Lobos (Spanish Edition))
To safeguard the holiest symbol of their Catholic faith, the Toledo churchmen, escorted by a small cohort of armed nobles, had fled with the cathedral's high altar for a fortified place the Muslims would call Wadi al-Hijara ("river of stones")-Guadalajara-some three days' ride frim the capital and but a few miles from the village of Madrid.

FEBRUARY 13 – THE DANGER OF PLAYING In the year 2008, Miguel Lopez Rocha, who was fooling around on the outskirts of the Mexican city of Guadalajara, slipped and fell into the Santiago River. Miguel was eight years old. He did not drown. He was poisoned. The river contained arsenic, sulfuric acid, mercury, chromium, lead and furans, dumped into its waters by Aventis, Bayer, Nestle, IBM, DuPont, Xerox, United Plastics, Celanese, and other countries that prohibit such largesse.
