Correction:

(1)The Christian church did not divide Slovenia along the Drava river in order to separate the Salzburg Archdiocese and the Patriarchate of Aquileia. This was done by the order of Charlemagne.

House of Zaehringen has been omitted.

(2) How do you picture Carantania (Carinthia) and now Slovenia without the House of Zaehringen or Baden? Keeping them out of history of Carantania is falsifying the history of Slovenia.

(3) Na zasedanju AVNOJ-a v Jajcu November 1943 je Jugoslavija razglasena za Federativno Ljudsko Republiko Jugoslavijo in Slovenija je bila preimenovana v Ljudsko Republiko Slovenijo. Do leta 1947je bila nacionalizirana vsa zasebna dejavnost.

Zakaj ne odgovorite bolj podrobno?

Od kedaj je nacionalizacija zasebne dejavnosti v korist bodisi SFRJ ali socialisticne Rep. Slovenije. Zamolcano je da je nacionalizacija ali z drugo besedo prisiljevanje prednikov ali potomcev, posamesnikov in zasebnikov da sami odlocajo z svojo dejavnostjo ali imovino. Zakaj risete zgodovino tako kot da se nic ni zgodilo in branite SFRJ za vpeljavo nemogocih zakonov ki so prizadeli nas slovenski narod. Rop zasebne imovine ki je oskodoval zasebno dejavnost nasih prednikov je tudi oskodoval druge narode Jugoslovanske Federacije. Vse izgleda tako, kot da je v Jajcu bila prepovedana tudi vsa zasebna ali individualna miselnost drugace brihtnih slovencev. Ali se sloveniji ni mogoce otresti SFRJ in njene skodljive miselnosti?

Štih se zelo moti:

"Felicijanovo odkritje je tako lahko zanimivo in pomembno za vprašanje, do kod vse je segalo poznavanje ustolicevanja, niti priblino pa ne moremo na tej podlagi trditi, da je imelo vpliv na oblikovanje ameriške Deklaracije o neodvisnosti, in seveda še manj, da je karantanska prisega oziroma ustolicevanje imelo vpliv kar na celotno zahodno demokracijo. "

THE SLOVENIANS BELIEVED THAT THE POWER TO GOVERN RESTED WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TO BE GOVERNED, NOT THOSE WHO WERE GOVERNING.

To je še dandanes razlika med Evropo in Ameriko. Naša civilizacija stoji na principu da drzavljani dolocijo kaj je dovoljeno drzavi medtem ko v Evropi drzava odloca kaj je dovoljeno drzavljanom.

To se je krasno izrazilo pri novi EU ustavi ki ima menda 400 strani. Ustava USA ima okrog 10 strani.

Text from Senator Frank J. Lausche's (Ohio) speech of November 28, 1967, in the United States Congress about Slovenians (sic!)

SLOVENIANS,
THOMAS JEFFERSON
and
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

..... IN HIS COPY OF BODIN'S "REPUBLIC", THOMAS JEFFERSON HAD INITIALED TWO PAGES. ON ONE PAGE WAS BODIN'S DEFINITION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A TYRANT, WHICH WAS QUITE SIMILAR IN CONCEPT AND PHRASES USED IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. ON THE OTHER INITIALED PAGE WAS A DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION OF THE DUKES OF CARINTHIA. A SLOVENIAN RITUAL WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED GREATLY TO THE FOUNDING OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.....

.....THIS CUSTOM, WHICH WAS STILL BEING PRACTICED DURING THE TIME OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION, WAS LIVING PROOF THAT THE SOCIAL CONTRACT DID, IN FACT, EXIST, AT LEAST AMONG SLOVENIANS.....

.....THE SLOVENIANS BELIEVED THAT THE POWER TO GOVERN RESTED WITH THE PEOPLE WHO WERE TO BE GOVERNED, NOT THOSE WHO WERE GOVERNING. THEY BELIEVED THAT THEIR RULERS SHOULD BE MEN OF THE PEOPLE, OF ALL THE POEPLE. THEY BELIEVED THAT THE TRUE QUALITIES OF THOSE IN GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE COMPETENCY AND CONCERN. THEY BELIEVED THAT THEIR LEADERS HAD A SOLEMN DUTY TO THE PEOPLE TO BE RIGHTEOUS. AND WE AMERICANS BELIEVE IN THESE SAME PRINCIPLES TODAY. SO DID THOMAS JEFFERSON DURING THE TIME OF THE REVOLUTION.....

Clearing the Misconceptions Over Slovenian Ethnic Origins

Excerpts from Article by Anton Skerbinc published in Prosveta, Year XC, No.30, July 29, 1998

A warm thank you to PROSVETA readers who very generously responded to my various articles on the new discoveries about our Slovenian origins. Some have gone out of their way to promote the book Veneti: First Builders of European Community , and many have purchased it for themselves, their friends or their children who will eventually want to know something about their roots. My thanks as well to the office of the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Slovenia in Cleveland for giving us, although only temporarily, a helping hand with the distribution of our book.

In the meantime, several people have expressed concern that the Venetic theory downgrades their ethnic identity. One person writes, "I am puzzled what it is you are trying to do, promoting this new idea that we Slovenes descended from Venetians. I always prided myself on my Slavic background. . ."

Had this gentleman read at least part of our book, his mind would have been set to rest. Slovenians did not descend from the Venetians, nor is anywhere in our book even a hint that that is the case. It is true, however, that Venetians are our distant relatives; they too descended from the proto-Slavic Veneti, but they were Latinized early on. Interestingly enough, Venetians have to this day not completely forgotten their Slavic origin. That is the reason, I should add, why the Italian edition of our book was so warmly received in Venice.

When the ancient Slavs, the bearers of the Urnfield culture, migrated from what is now Poland and eastern Germany, they spread their slavic language as well as their culture and religion. They reached present-day Austria and Slovenia around 1200 B.C., and 200 years later they are documented in northern Italy. They were generally called Winidi, Venedi, Veneti, Wenden or Windische, depending on the area and time.

The historical reality that Slovenians descended from the Veneti does not detract from our Slavic heritage. On the contrary, it extends our background far beyond the limits set by the official historiography and proves that Slovenians or their ancestors resided in their traditional lands uninterruptedly for a very long time. It shows that they are one of the original nations of central Europe.

Two more very common misconceptions are that the Slovenians are South Slavs and that the Slovenian language is a South Slavic dialect. Slovenians are West Slavs, and their language is West Slavic, Venetic, and has, for that very reason, preserved the oldest forms among Slavic languages. However, there is no doubt that after the last migration of Slavs into the Balkans in the sixth century A.D., there must have been some mingling of the old Venetic-Slovenian with the language of the newcomers.

I also received a communication from a professor who insisted that if Slovenians were to descend from Veneti (to him an Italic people), the Slovenian ethnic, linguistic and national identity would have to move through two linguistic and cultural structures, i.e.: from proto-Slavic to Venetic and from Venetic to Slovenian. For this reason, he has "major objections to the Slovenian/Venetic theory."

His inability to go beyond the old concepts reminds me very much of the Texas farmer, an ardent supporter of the Flat Earth Society, who was asked whether his views had changed of late. His response was "Thank God, where I stand the Earth is still flat."

There was obviously no moving through two ethnic, linguistic and cultural structures as the good professor maintains. He is merely restating the official position on the subject, a position that was particularly popular at the turn of the century and created havoc in the traditional Slovenian lands. It embodied a great deal of intellectual dishonesty and is without doubt out of date.

The Venetic theory as presented by Jozko Savli, Matej Bor and Ivan Tomazic, expresses an entirely new and innovative approach to the understanding of the historical and linguistic past of the Slovenian people.

For those who wish to test these ideas for themselves, Veneti is still the best book. Without studying it carefully, one is not well informed about Slovenian national origins or the general historical developments in that part of the world.

Veneti: First Builders of European Community, Tracing the History and Language of Early Ancestors of Slovenes , by Savli, Bor and Tomazic is still available for purchase. The price in the United States, Australia and other destinations is $29, postage and handling included.
