Tordenskjold Pirates - Captain Lychee

Captain Lychee, alias Captain Lucky, is the 7th Tordenskjold Pirate, - and a drink based on the lychee fruit. It represents the Will based on chance (lykke). Yet, pirates’ enterprises are rather Underworld Games than honest Work. Their Gimmicks are like the Black Sails, a prequel to the novel Treasure Island. Their island Nassau is close by the Virgin Islands that became a Dan-nor pirates’ bay. Tordenskjold sailed the Caribbean at that time and probably influenced by those cultures. However, this UU sets a much broader perspective as a prequel to the constitution of the American union of states and the ruin of European confederations. Lastly, there are some explanation to theories of psychosocial analysis of the Will and Games.

The rise and decay of the Dan-nor Virgin Islands was brought up in UU 2016.jan.22 and UU 2016.feb.05. The colonies were settled as outposts to the Triangle trade, - but became farms for slave trade and finally a pirates’ bay. Danes’ managers were replaced with Dutch when Tsar Peter declared Russia an empire and needed control over the Baltic Sea. There were also other ‘mysterious faiths’ for American colonies. For example, “the Roanoke Colony, also known as the Lost Colony, 16th-century attempt by Queen Elizabeth I to establish a permanent English settlement. The enterprise was originally financed and organized by Sir Humphrey Gilbert, who drowned in 1583 during an aborted attempt to colonize St. John's, Newfoundland.” (Wikipedia) This can be related to the UK-Russia relationships at that time. Even earlier, the mentioned novel ‘NewFound Land’ (NFL1) takes place before the year 1000 and describes the ‘mysterious’ disappearing of the ‘Greenland Colony’. (See the introduction in extra UU3 2016.jan.08.)

Similar ‘faiths’ in the New World are also described in UU 2013.juni.07 and UU 2013.juni.14 that was translated in UU 2016.feb.12. “The Columbus expeditions, 200 years before this Golden age of Piracy, lead to major invasions and ruin of the meso-American cultures. These invaders can be considered state-supported privateers – some kinds of land-based pirates. This was talked through in a previous Theme called ‘LifeQuality and Empires’ (UU 2013.juni.14). “The TV-series ‘500 Nations’ shows clearly that there was a main objective to conquer the dominating Aztec culture in Mexico. The conquerors were probably recruited crusaders from the fallen Roma2 (Byzantine). ‘The end justifies the means’ and concepts of G.T. warfare towards similar pyramid builders in Egypt, - included methods like theocracy, betrayal, slavery and bacteriological warfare. In fact, most native died due to illness like smallpox, - a virus that even the medicine alcohol could not cure. The crusaders weakened most of the culture in meso- and west-America and introduced thralldom in pure SPQR style.” Additionally, the previous mentioned novel ‘NewFound Land’ (NFL1) do concern the Mesoamerican cultures before the year 1000 and the fall of the Maya civilization. See links to ‘500 Nations’ and the NFL1 chapter 4.1 Upload and the fall of Roma2 in previous UU 2016.feb.19 ‘Captain Coco’.

As mentioned in the previous UU 2016.feb.19, the Russian empire is founded on the ruins of Roma2, caused by the ‘Pirates of the 4th Crusade - that was allied with UK and indirectly influential through the Dutch and the Danes. Moreover, “America is called a ‘melting pot of cultures’. African, European, Asian and native ‘Indian’ influences are far greater than the Russian is. (….) The main point is to focus on the ‘forgotten’ influences of Roma3. In particular, the ‘Russian-American Company’ was an extended colonialization program in the 1800 and announced a ‘gold rush’ for recruitment. It was not successful, since most immigrants rather moved south to the more attractive California, - and even further. It seems so clear that both SU and US (Roma3 and Roma4) were built from the ground at the same time. From now on, the conclusion is that the previous century SU and US were twin-empires Roma3 and Roma4, - based on the original Roma2 and Roma1.”

“The result of the 500 years process was that Spain dominated South-America, UK dominated US and France dominated Canada. On should think that Norden, rather than France, would dominate Canada, - but some other arrangements must have won through. One reason is naturally the split of the Nordic Union (Kalmar union) in the 1500s and the related unrest with Tsar Ivan and Roma3 (see previous UU 2016.feb.19). Furthermore, the self-appointed emperor Napoleon set Europe in flames in 1792, when the US was constituted and ready for fight. European activities in America was consequently down prioritized and forces withdrawn. Roma4 (US) got a foothold and started the assimilation of north-American cultures.”

“When knowing the processes of Roma3 and Roma4, it is clear that the crusaders from Roma2 were used for cleansing prior to the assimilations and restrictions. Crusaders advanced during the century from knights to cavalries. It is however problematic that these holy crusaders probably involved revengeful and immoral looser from the ruins of the lost Roma2. Stories about Roma3 and Roma4 even gives an understanding why the Mongols and Muslims reacted so brutally towards Roma2.” It is clear as well that some pirates were empires’ privateers operating as black-ops in ulterior Underworld Games of 4th degree. In fact, such pillaging of rivals has no such limits as time, place, means or goals. Piracy can happen anywhere, anyhow and anytime.

With empire perspective on the rise of the new twin empires, Roma3 and Rom4, - it becomes clear that Napoleon was an empire’s Pirate with the sole purpose to destroy European nations like any other native culture. This was summarized in UU 2014.mai.16 and is translated here. “As mentioned in UU 2013.juni.14, the napoleon wars (EW0) might have been started to keep the continental Europe out of America when US/Roma4 was constituted and ready to be built. Anyhow the motives, that particular lieutenant, that child of the revolution, caused world record in deaths and destructions in Europe. It is not quite clear what goals and meaning was for that Stat’s self declared emperor, - others than to lead the Thrones’ loyal to the battlefields’ certain death. Surely, UK declared themselves in all alliances against Napoleon, but contributed only with a few soldiers. US, on the other hand, took Napoleons side in 1812-1814 during the invasion and burning of Moscow/Roma3. Napoleon himself declare innocence to the burning of Roma3, though. The human loss in Europe was about 5 million, where half were civilians. Consequently, ‘The Concert of Europe’ (Congress of Vienna) was constituted in 1815 and secured peace and diplomacy for a hundred years. (See UU 2013.feb.22). UK got the ‘Pax Britannica’, an exclusive right to dominate the Atlantic.” (UU 2013.juni.21) Norway regained its sovereignty, since Denmark became the scapegoat for this Russia-France war-Game of 4th degree. (UU 2014.mai.16)

The psychosocial 3^3 dimension Will was introduced UU 2015.mars.06. This focus is also set on Games in order to explain Captain Lychee. First an introduction. “The merged 3x3 Game model does mostly apply to the social ego-state Will. Freud and Jung call it ‘Ego’, but Bern called it ‘Adult’. This UU sets focus on three social Game categories of Will, namely KoC (King of the Castle), CdE (Coup d’ Etat) and GoT (Games of Temples). Such a large theme needs an archetype to grasp the idea, - a simple stereotype like Napoleon. The main reason to focus on Games is the simple truth that everyone lies and deceives.” (Note, CdE later became the Game Category GdE (Games d’ Etat) that includes pre- and post-Games to the Game CdE.) At national and imperial level, the 3^3 psychosocial dimension of Will relates to the 3 institutions Throne, State and Temple. These are also the 3D core for the 5D Scenario model.

Games are thoroughly described in UU 2015.mars.06 and do suite pirates’ profiles well. “The main reason to do Game analysis is explained in UU 2013.mars.15: “Humans are dishonest and ulterior by nature – this fact should not be denied. How many times a day humans lie, is not a main point. Still, there are serious consequences that too often are ignored in social and political relations. Then again, there are indeed some innocent physiological reasons that the brain automatically adjusts facts. Animals’ natural camouflage, scary behavior and sexual rituals indicate that there are natural reasons to some kinds of deceive. Yet, humans, as intelligent animals, have a far broader spectrum of lies. A classification counts 34 categories: Bad faith, Barefaced lie, Big lie, Bluffing, Bullshit, Butler lie, Contextual lie, Cover-up, Deflecting, Delusions, Dismissal, Economical with the truth, Exaggeration, Fabrication, Fib, Fraud, Half-truth, Haystack answer, Honest lie, Jocose lie, Lie-to-children, Lying by omission, Lying in trade, Minimization, Misleading and dissembling, Noble lie, Omission, Pathological lie, Perjury, Polite lie, Puffery, Speaking with forked tongue, Weasel word & White lie. Anyhow, deceptions can be of positive or negative moral and not necessarily ethical rejectable. It is however important to have the system of Values (GUR) in order, when facing such.”

The Eric Berne’s Game theories were extended, like the Freudian 3 ego-state model was a merging to a 3x3 Freudian/Jungian. (See UU 2015.mars.06 for description of the classic Games.) It suites pirates’ profiles in particular. “Some previously mentioned new (3^3) Games are: DAC&UAC (Devide&Conquer & Unite&Conquer) is a political Game of Will that is used to take control over collective groups. TLM (Two Little Maids) is a Drive Game for collectivization and can be prior to e.g. LYAHF. ISR (It Started with the Retribution) is used to start rivalries – without risking accusations of provocations and thereby support to the opponents. A similar clinical Drift motivated Game is supported by ABD (Attack is the Best form of Defense) where mutual paranoid rivals can have Belief dominated ‘obsessions’. Jante is a collective synchronization Game related to TLM (TOL). BGGG (Bad Guy, Good Guy) is a Will Game in the classic category Underworld and especially effective in 3rd degree negotiations. RPPP (Robbing Pete to Pay Paul) is a political Underworld Will Game that is used as political election campaigns and finance politics. ODAB (One's the Death – Another’s Bread) is a 3rd degree Underworld Will Game with lethal outcomes.” “A new Game BOOFY was discovered when analyzing todays Russian Games in UU 2014.nov.14: “A Russian proverb saying is “Beat your Own and Others will Fear You”. Actually, it seems that an east-bloc Underworld Game ‘BYOOWFY’ of 3rd and 4th degree is identified. It seems to be legitimated in Roma3.” The Game is later renamed to BOOFY. The Game seems to be as common for pirates and secret services as well as modern mafias.

Napoleon is particular relevant to all the three categories KoC, GdE and GoT, because he played for supremacy of Thrones, States and Temples - altogether. As a climax, Napoleon crowned himself as emperor in the Temple with the Pope as passive witness. The epic ritualistic demonstration suites the deeds as a anti-papal, - which means that the Russian Orthodox Church probably was an ulterior Game player to Napoleon’s anti-European warfare. Nevertheless, most Game analysis of Napoleon is done in relation to UU 2014.mai.16 in the Theme ‘1514-2014’ that is about the political development in Norden and Europe in the 500 years period. An indication of the content is taken from UU 2014.okt.31 “In brief, the results of the napoleon wars were basically a grand slaughter of European royalists in the military, - especially those related to the French Throne. There is therefore reasons to think that the result might have been the overall goal in that Game. Anyhow, not only Moscow claimed the right to the heritage of Roma (UU 2014.mai.02), but also St. Petersburg, Austria, Germany, Italy and France, - like some Roma3b, 3c, 3d, 1b and 3e. Moreover, the Ottoman Empire was practically a Muslim Roma2b and an aggressive rival to them all. Notably is Napoleon’s bodyguard Roustam Raza, alias Idzhahia, of particular interest (since Napoleon had alienated himself from mostly anyone else).” Which rather leads the focus to all the other actors in that grand Game of 4th degree, rather than that petty little remote marionette that did not even seem capable to slit a throat himself.

One general conclusion about Captain Lucky, or rather alias Captain Chaos, is that Pirates might appear in any position for dramatic Games of change. Napoleon is a most profound example that rivaling empires do place such BDW radicals in power to cause ruin from within. It is the very same phenomenon as for CCD (Colony Collaps Disorder) (see UU 2015.juli.03)

This leads to the final 8th pirate with focus on the previous century’s global piracies.

The Captain Lychee drink relates to Will, Games and Chance. This recipe is also simple, - mix white rum, lychee juice and ice-cubes, - 1 to 4 for grape-wine ABV and 1 to 10 for beer ABV. (See links for more advanced Captains Lychee drinks.) Some more facts about the lychee fruit might be further inspirational.

“Lychee is a tropical and subtropical fruit tree native to the Guangdong and Fujian provinces of China, and now cultivated in many parts of the world. The fresh fruit has a "delicate, whitish pulp" with a floral smell and a fragrant, sweet flavor. Since this perfume-like flavor is lost in the process of canning, the fruit is usually eaten fresh. The outside of the fruit is covered by a pink-red, roughly textured rind that is inedible but easily removed to expose a layer of sweet, translucent white flesh.

The lychee has a history and cultivation going back to 2000 BC according to records in China. It was first described and introduced to the West in 1656 by a Polish Jesuit missionary. More recently in South Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, Queensland, California and Florida.

On average, consuming nine peeled lychee fruits would meet an adult’s daily vitamin C requirement but otherwise would supply little nutrient content. In traditional Chinese medicine, lychee is known as a fruit with "hot" properties. Dried lychees are often called lychee nuts, though they are not a real nut.”

The TV series Black Sails received four nominations for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music, Outstanding Main Title Design, Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series at the 66th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The series won Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series.

Bear McCreary says “For the instrumentation of Black Sails, I focused primarily on historically accurate sounds: a string quartet, rhythm guitar trio, percussion duo and various historical solo instruments. Most of this merry band have worked with me for the better part of a decade, and they too had to unlearn our old habits. For the first time, I relaxed my ruthless pursuit of rhythmic perfection and intonation precision, and asked them not to play “too perfectly.” We had to completely redefine what it meant to play in tune. These intrepid musicians had the unenviable task of matching pitch against finicky ethnic guitars, exotic woodwinds, bagpipes, accordion and the wobbling wail of the hurdy gurdy.”

Extra UU1 - 25 Most Feared Pirates To Ever Set Sail

“When most people think of piracy they probably think of skull and crossbones, eye patches, and wooden legs. While these would all certainly be true to some extent; at its core, piracy has always been about the plunder. If there were nothing to steal there would be no pirates. As it is, however, from centuries past to this very day pirates are alive and well on the high seas. These are the 25 most feared pirates to ever set sail.”

Extra UU2 - Alice Cooper – Desperado

What is this association to pirates? Desperadoes might as well be stranded pirates that found horses more appropriate than ships and guns more suitable than swords and whiskey better than rum. Actually, the so-called Wild West suites the images of pirates very well. Here, such a desperado has gone to town. “Vincent Furnier, alias Alice Cooper made several cabaret numbers where he dug deep into the inner and murky self. He came up with some quite artistic performances. Some characters were like Mephisto, Dr. Mabuse and Mr. Hyde. Later repertoires include figures like a traumatized boy (Steven), an urban terrorist and a mental patient (Dwight Fry). The musical performance was quite professional due to support from Frank Zappa and the Warner Bros. However, taken out of its content and performed as a cheap rock concert, - it loses the original significance. This classic, Desperado, presents an assassin in the ‘Wild West’, not quite revealing who he was except for being a killer, a clown and a priest.”

Extra UU3 – TV series - Black Sails S01E01

Black Sails is an American dramatic adventure television series set on New Providence Island and a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. The series was created by Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine for Starz that debuted online for free on YouTube and other various streaming platform.

The plot is summarized as: “Set roughly two decades before the events of Treasure Island and during the Golden Age of Piracy, the feared Captain Flint brings on a younger crew member as they fight for the survival of New Providence Island. According to the first episode, "In 1715, West Indies, the pirates of New Providence Island threaten maritime trade in the region. The laws of every civilized nation declare them hostis humani generis; enemies of all mankind. In response, the pirates adhere to a doctrine of their own war against the world." Real life pirates that are fictionalized in the show include Anne Bonny, Benjamin Hornigold, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane, Ned Low, and Blackbeard.”

“The plot of the first season focuses on the hunt for the Spanish treasure galleon Urca de Lima. At the beginning of the second season, the treasure from the Urca de Lima has been stranded on the shores of Florida with Spanish soldiers guarding it, but by the conclusion of the second season, the treasure has been taken by Jack Rackham and his crew and brought to New Providence Island. During the second series, the question of how and why Flint who was a navy officer and London gentleman, turned over to piracy, is asked. The gold of Urca de Lima is certainly not Flint's greatest secret.”

Captain Flint’s Pirate Bay, the island Nassau is the in the TV series, is close to the Virgin Islands that became a Dan-nor Pirates’ Bay. Tordenskjold sailed the Caribbean at that time and was probably influenced by those cultures. Tordenskjold, - might therefor have been a Pirate of the Baltics – like Captain Morgan of the Caribbean.
