The Dulce Base Conspiracy Theory

The Dulce Base Conspiracy Theory
The Dulce Base conspiracy theory is a popular belief that a joint human-alien underground facility exists under Archuleta Mesa on the Colorado-New Mexico border near Dulce, New Mexico. The theory claims that this base is involved in various activities, including genetic experimentation and the study of extraterrestrial life.

Government Secrecy: The existence of secret government facilities and projects is a well-documented fact.However, the extent of such activities and their involvement in extraterrestrial-related matters remains highly speculative.
Phil Schneider: A Controversial Figure in UFO and Conspiracy Theories
American engineer Philip Schneider was born on April 23, 1947. He is known as a person who worked for many years in collaboration with special services of the United States, had access to information of the 3rd level of secrecy, but at some point decided that people should know that they are kept in ignorance or are grossly deceived about everything happening to UFOs and aliens.
Few people had taken the stories of Phil Schneider seriously until he was found dead. At the same time, the circumstances of his death indicated that Phil had been brutally dealt with.
Phil got higher education at an engineering school and later became a geological engineer. He is also known as a civil engineer for the military and aerospace industries.
Phil had his own family, a wife and a child. Oscar Schneider, Phil’s father, was a physician and military officer, who, according to some information, served in a submarine and at the same time managed to fight both for Germany and for the United States. Phil was able to take part in the construction of at least two underground bases for the so-called “secret government,” as well as in the construction of 13 deep-seated military bases underground.
Seeing how such projects are financed, for whom they are being built, and that the basic rights of the people, as well as the US constitution, are violated, in 1994, Phil broke off relations with the American intelligence services and returned all his awards. After that, Phil began working as an ordinary geologist, combining work with revelatory performances. He talked about underground bases, top-secret alien technologies, and the threat togrey humanity that those who seek to establish a New World Order in the direction of aliens hostile to people carry with them.
To popularize the information disclosed in the last two years of his life, Phil spoke a lot in public traveling around the USA and Canada and visited England and Japan. He criticized the government which keeps its citizens in the dark.
In 1995, at a regular lecture, Schneider said that over the past 22 years, 11 of his best friends had died, they knew something about the so-called government “conspiracy theory.” At the same time, eight out of 11 episodes were officially recognized as suicides.
Phil said that he was one of three people who survived the shootout that occurred in 1979 at an underground military base in Dulce between representatives of American intelligence services and aliens. As a result of the influence of an alien weapon, Schneider got a dose of radiation and subsequently fell ill with cancer
Phil Schneider also claimed that there had been repeated attempts to kill him after he told what he knew. These were attacks with weapons, attempts to push him onto the highway, and even attacks during street fights.
On January 17, 1996, Phil Schneider was found dead in his house in Wilsonville, Oregon. He was lying on the floor next to the piano, and a tube from his own catheter was wound around his neck. However, according to the report, Schneider was shot dead by police officers who came to deal with a large number of unpaid taxes and fines, and during the dialogue, Phil began to behave menacingly, grabbed his weapons, and thus left the law enforcement officers with no choice.
Whatever happened, but by the time of his death, Phil Schneider was very poor in health due to a serious illness (oncology). Suicide was called the official cause of death, although, according to some reports, there were signs of torture on the body. Many ufologists believe that representatives of US intelligence simply removed Schneider because he knew too much.
 
Gordon Duff, an editor-in-chief of the Veterans Today magazine, called Phil Schneider a UFO witness, believing that he was strikingly deeply aware of the US government’s contacts with aliens.
 
Schneider worked as a demolition specialist to help build secret underground bases for the US government.
 
He openly accused the US government and intelligence agencies of covert acts and direct crimes. Some of them deserve special attention:
1. The American government entered into an agreement with the Grey aliens in 1954. This mutually beneficial cooperation agreement is called the “Greada Treaty”. Aliens do not comply with it.
 
2. The shuttle made special alloys in orbit. A vacuum is needed to create these special metals, and thus the mandate for the ongoing support of the manned space station is justified.
3. Most of the aircraft technology with Stealth technology was developed due to the study of an alien ship that crashed in the United States.
 
4. AIDS was invented at the National Ordinance Laboratory in Chicago, Illinois, and developed as a virus to control the human population.
5. It is a secret that the US government has a device for causing earthquakes. The San Francisco earthquake in 1989 and the Kobe earthquake in 1995 did not have a pulse wave, which confirms their artificial origin.
 
6. The bombing at the World Trade Center (09/11/2001) and the bombing in Oklahoma City (04/19/1995) were carried out using miniature nuclear devices. This is indicated by the melting and pitting of concrete with the displacement of metal rods that make up the frame of concrete structures (it is worth recalling that Phil was an engineer and explosives were one of his strengths).
7. Bikini Atoll was destroyed by nuclear weapons due to the fact that there was an underwater base of aliens.
8. The strategic defense initiative (SDI) was actually conceived as a defense against alien invasions.
 
9. A large number of underground military bases have been built in the United States (~ 130), up to 2 km deep, and they are similar in size to cities. Bases were built in case of a declaration of war. The bases are interconnected by high-speed monorails, on which trains move at a speed of 2 Mach (~ 2380 km/h) on a “magnetic cushion”, hovering 3/4 inch (~ 2 cm) above the rail.
10. The secret plan of the high Grays to establish on the planet a New World Order, managed by the UN, which they secretly control.
The UFO problem was dealt with by an organization specially created by the order of the US government back in 1933. According to the research of this organization, in 1935, the presence of aliens on Earth became a recognized fact. Over the next 20 years, employees tried to find out the intentions of space aliens and establish contact with them. And this happened in 1954: on February 20-21, President Dwight Eisenhower met with representatives of an alien civilization.
 
The first meeting was unsuccessful: the aliens refused to transfer any advanced technologies to earthlings (represented by the Americans), but they demanded to stop the development of certain types of weapons. The United States did not agree to stop its military projects and, of course, could not vouch for the rest of the world.
Contacts continued and, as a result, the so-called “Greada Treaty” was concluded. What the contracting parties agreed on:
• The aliens do not interfere in the affairs of earthlings.• Earthlings (represented by the US government) keep secret the fact of the presence of aliens on Earth.• Aliens help in technical development. This applies only to the American nation.• Aliens can take people and animals for scientific purposes. People after research should come back, and memories of contacts with aliens should be deleted from their memories
 
The consequence of this agreement was the creation of numerous underground bases on which earthlings mastered extraterrestrial technology, and aliens conducted their experiments on “human material”.
Gray aliens are employees of a powerful extraterrestrial civilization, the existence of which earthlings had to face in their historical past. The presumptive basis of the alien ideology is the unification of intelligent species of the Universe into a single Union, and regardless of the form of life itself (biological, ethereal, or other).
Judging by past events, alien political principles imply the non-violent conversion of planets to their ideology. The mail idea of aliens about a single type of intelligent life form is reduced to the fact that the population of the planets loses memory of the past and turns into beings with the given characteristics. To implement this program, aliens use advanced bioengineering technologies. The final stage of their mission is to implement the necessary information, while information about the past of the subordinate culture does not matter anymore.
 
Phil Schneider was a geologist and engineer who gained notoriety in the 1990s for his claims about secret government projects involving extraterrestrial technology and underground bases. His most prominent claim was that he had worked on a joint human-alien facility, similar to the alleged Dulce Base, and had witnessed advanced technology and extraterrestrial beings.
 
Key Points About Schneider:
 
Government Contractor: Schneider claimed to have worked for the U.S. government as a contractor, involved in projects related to geological engineering and construction.
Underground Bases: He alleged that he had been involved in the construction of underground bases, including one near Dulce, New Mexico, which was supposedly used for research and development of extraterrestrial technology.
Alien Encounter: Schneider claimed to have witnessed an extraterrestrial being during one of his visits to the underground base.
Government Suppression: He believed that the government was actively suppressing information about extraterrestrial life and advanced technology, and that he had been targeted for exposing these secrets.
Tragic End: Schneider died in 1996 under mysterious circumstances, with some conspiracy theorists suggesting that he was killed by government agents to silence him.
 
Controversies and Criticisms:
 
Lack of Evidence: Schneider never provided concrete evidence to support his claims, relying primarily on personal anecdotes and testimony.
Contradictions: His accounts often contradicted those of other individuals involved in similar conspiracy theories.
Government Denial: The U.S. government has consistently denied Schneider's claims and the existence of any such underground facilities.
Skepticism: Many experts and researchers have expressed skepticism about Schneider's claims, citing the lack of evidence and the inconsistencies in his accounts.
 
While Phil Schneider's claims about underground bases and extraterrestrial technology have captured the imagination of many, they remain unsubstantiated. His story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of relying on unverified information and the importance of critical thinking when evaluating claims related to conspiracy theories.
 
While his claims about underground bases and extraterrestrial life remain unsubstantiated, his story has had a significant impact on the UFO and conspiracy theory communities. Here are some additional points to consider:
 
Public Lectures: Schneider was a popular public speaker, delivering lectures and presentations about his experiences and beliefs.
Media Appearances: He appeared on various radio and television programs to share his claims with a wider audience.
Books: Schneider authored several books, including "The Confessions of a Government Insider" and "The UFO Conspiracy," which detailed his experiences and theories.
Legacy: Despite his controversial claims, Schneider's legacy continues to influence the UFO and conspiracy theory communities. His story has inspired countless discussions, debates, and investigations.
 
The year is 1979. The aftermath of the underground war left 60 humans killed in action and an untold number of the enemy’s troops mortally wounded. It was the U.S. Army’s Special Forces’ greatest threat — and no one would ever know about it. The Green Berets were dispatched to Dulce, New Mexico, to keep alien forces underground and away from the rest of the world.
 
They succeeded, but at what cost?
At least, this is the way explosives engineer Philip Schneider tells his part of the story. He was in New Mexico that year and he knows the alien threat was real.
 
Schneider claims he was working on a highly secretive, underground base on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation in New Mexico, near Dulce, a Colorado border town. He told the Huffington Post he first became suspicious of the project’s true intention when he noticed American Special Forces soldiers operating in and around the area.
 
They don’t just send Green Berets to New Mexico for no reason. Schneider alleged the gray aliens were conducting bizarre medical experiments on mankind, both live humans and samples of DNA. He said that deep underground, the “Grays” would absorb human and cow blood for sustenance.
 
Schneider finally came out with his story in the mid-1990s. Two years later, he killed himself with a catheter cord – a suicide that has some screaming “foul play.” At the time, the engineer said he began construction on the underground base just like he would any other base, by drilling holes. This time, however an acrid smell like burning garbage emerged from the drilled holes. That’s when the fighting started.
 
Then, one day, he turned around and came face-to-face with what he called a “7-foot-tall, stinky, gray alien.” Immediately, the engineer grabbed his pistol and took two of them down. A third one blew off some his fingers with a kind of laser blaster. That’s when one of the Green Berets sacrificed himself to save Schneider’s life.
The scuffle turned into a full-blown battle that killed 60 humans. Green Berets reacted instantly, bringing all the firepower they could bear on the aliens. The aliens responded by shooting blue bolts of radiant power with movements of their hands. The kind of bolts that blew Schneider’s fingers off were turning the Special Forces soldiers inside out. Eventually, the aliens relented, retreating deeper into the complex.
 
What happened in the years that followed is anyone’s guess.
 
Before his death, Schneider alleged that there were more than 1,400 of these underground bases all over the world, each with a price tag of billion. The 192 bases inside the U.S. are also said to be interconnected. While there is no further information on what started the underground alien war or if it continues to this day, residents of nearby Dulce attest to strange happenings in areas near the base.

In the "Phil Schneider Documentary about Grey Aliens, UFO's & Government," Schneider, a former government geologist and engineer with a background in black budget programs, shares his experiences with advanced technologies and encounters with extraterrestrial beings. He claims that the military has been aware of alien life for over 70 years and that many advanced technologies have origins in alien technology. Schneider discusses his involvement in building an underground facility in Dulce, New Mexico, where they discovered large alien graves and encountered seven-foot-tall Grey Aliens. He also recounts an encounter in 1979 where he was injured by a blue beam from an alien after shooting and killing two of them. Schneider expresses concern about the government's alleged agenda for a complete takeover of the planet and the killing off of a large portion of the population by 2029. He encourages the audience to take an active role in uncovering the truth and asserts the importance of constitutional law and patriotism. Throughout the documentary, Schneider emphasizes the need for transparency and sharing information to bring about change.
 
In the "Phil Schneider Documentary about Grey Aliens, UFO's & Government," Schneider recounts his personal experiences involving underground government activities related to UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. He shares that he survived a radiation incident and reveals the existence of several underground bases, including one at Denver International Airport. Schneider warns about the potential alien agenda to decimate the planet and enslave humans, urging viewers to re-educate themselves and question authority. He also discusses the importance of individual freedoms, including the right to bear arms, and the potential existence of secretive government projects and slave labor camps. Schneider claims that the government entered into an agreement with aliens in 1954, and millions of human lives have been lost due to alien encounters. He encourages viewers to question the extent of their knowledge about extraterrestrial beings and past government agreements, and to be cautious of false information and lies.
 
According to the CIA and FBI, animal mutilations were and are recorded throughout Dulce, NM. Animal/Cattle Mutilation In the mid-1970s, reports of scattered animal mutilations in western and mid-western states concerned many people. The FBI was asked to investigate, but was unable to do so because of a lack of jurisdiction (except when such mutilations were found on Indian lands). These files consist mainly of press clippings and correspondence concerning the issues between 1974 and 1978.
 
It was the mid-1990s when Eli Hronich of Raton, New Mexico, first stumbled upon a dead calf, with its tongue, eyes and reproductive organs removed—and completely devoid of blood. This haunting scene would become one he would discover another 40 times over the next 30 years, with the most recent death occurring in 2022. He is now in his 70s and has been ranching his entire life, and says these cattle mutilations are unlike any other deaths he has seen.
 
“When you find one, you know what it is immediately,” Hronich said. “People will try to play it down as a natural death or coyotes, but it’s completely different.”
 
Hronich’s experience with these unexplained deaths is not unlike the thousands of other reports made by ranchers over the last 50 years. Mutilated cattle are often found missing body parts of no commercial value, such as ears, tongues, udders, brains, eyes or reproductive organs—and there are no teeth marks, these animals have been sliced with what some call surgical precision.
 
Sometimes their bodies are drained of blood, bones are broken, scavengers avoid the carcasses and a medicinal smell is reported at some kill sites. Additionally, some animals have been found to have strange substances in their blood, such as barbiturates, mescaline, anti-coagulates and potassium cyanide.
 
Often times there are no tracks around the animals even from the bovine itself and strange lights or helicopters are frequently reported by witnesses. It sounds like an episode of “The X-Files,” but for the ranchers and investigators who experience these scenes, it is all too real. Chris O’Brien, noted cattle mutilation investigator and author of several books on the topic, said cattle mutilations hit a peak in the 1970s.
 
“At its height in October 1975, there were eight different states that reported mutilations in the same time frame,” O’Brien explained. “In Colorado, Gov. Richard Lamm called it the greatest outrage in the history of western cattle raising.”
 
Mutilations have been reported across the U.S. and the world for decades, but O’Brien said the Rocky Mountain States—including Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico—have seen the highest number of cases. Other states with numerous reports include Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Texas, but now the epicenter seems to be migrating to Oregon where 21 cases have been reported in the last six years.
O’Brien estimates 10,000 mutilations have been reported in total, but he believes that figure is conservative in comparison to the number of actual mutilations. He ventures a guess that only about one in 10 are actually reported. He believes the stranger the case, the less likely it is to be reported.
 
Perplexing doesn’t cover it
 
O’Brien became fascinated with these mutilation cases in the early 1990s when he was living in Colorado’s San Luis Valley—a hot spot for mutilation cases. He said he has been involved in the investigation of 200 cases, working closely with the police.
 
“I was very intrigued by it because these are the only blood-based, mysterious serial events and they leave behind thousands of pounds of physical evidence,” he said. “The more I started researching and digging into it, the more I was compelled to try to figure it out. But, the more you know about this stuff, the less sense it makes and the more confusing it becomes.”
One case that sticks out to O’Brien as particularly bizarre was a mutilation he investigated in March 1998 in Colorado. A rancher found a young calf that was missing its right front leg, its spine was removed from the neck to the hips and the brain was removed with no break into the cranium. It also had a slight medicinal odor. O’Brien said two separate witnesses made reports of strange lights in the area on the night the animal was killed. He even consulted a veterinarian, who said he could not explain what happened to the calf.
 
“There was absolutely no blood and the heart and liver were expertly excised, but left in the body cavity,” O’Brien said. “That’s the first thing scavengers would go after, but no birds or animals would go near it. We noticed the spine had been taken out in an upwards manner and because of the way the cut was performed on the front leg, it would have been impossible to remove the spine that way. To me that was a truly paranormal case.”
 
David Perkins, a reporter and author stumbled upon these mysterious mutilations in the mid-1970s when he became a suspect in a case in Colorado’s Huerfano Valley. Perkins was new to the area and called the sheriff when he found a dead cow with its rectum carved out in a perfect circle, udders cut off, the bottom part of the jaw missing and one eye and ear removed. Eventually the sheriff cleared Perkins as a suspect and the two developed a partnership in investigating mutilations. He has examined 60 mutilations in various stages of decomposition over the last 50 years.
 
“In the beginning I said I’m not going to give up on solving this because I know there is something really important behind this,” Perkins said. “That’s my intuition, gut feeling and every cell in my body tells me that.”
 
Perkins said the strangest case he has examined happened near Dulce, New Mexico, in 1978. He said both he and the police agreed it looked like this cow had been dropped from a great height.
“It was basically splattered and splayed out,” Perkins said. “It appeared its back leg was broken and it looked like it had fallen on its side and one horn was sort of driven back into its skull like it fell with great force. There were little specks of blood on its hooves like it had fallen through a mist of blood and it had clamp marks on the backs of its ankles like it had been held up by something.”
 
But what do the veterinarians have to say about these events? Perkins said veterinarians are in a complicated position when it comes to these cases.
 
“There’s a certain stigma associated with this stuff,” he explained. “The vets have tried to stay away from it because this is a lose-lose for them. They can’t really come up with an answer and if they verify it, they’re suspect. They don’t really have a lot to gain by going out and identifying a true mutilation.”
 
Perkins has been working with O’Brien to collect reports that are extremely thorough and verified by ranchers, law enforcement and veterinarians and demonstrate cases that are not natural predations.
 
Who or what is the culprit?
 
Possible explanations for these mutilations fall into several categories. Many believe they are either due to predators, government experiments, satanic cults or extraterrestrials. Now putting those four in the same sentence is shocking, but so are the nature of these deaths.
They say when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras, therefore many believe there is no conspiracy or culprit to pursue in these cases. Additionally, O’Brien, Perkins and other experts are quick to admit many cases are merely due to scavenger activity.
 
“Out of the 200 cases I’ve investigated, about 20% of them were highly unusual,” O’Brien said. “Of those, about eight or nine were unexplainable.”
 
Those in the non-conspiracy camp believe the missing body parts in these cases could be the result of dehydration or scavenger activity. After all, insects often target soft tissue. Another less macabre rationalization for the absence of blood in these deaths could be that the blood was either consumed by scavengers, absorbed into the ground or evaporated. Mutilation skeptics often point to bloating after death as an answer to the precise incisions. Bloating can cause skin to stretch and dehydration can result in cow hide shrinking and splitting.
 
One of the major reasons the government is often suggested as a responsible party for mutilations is that hundreds of helicopter sightings that have been reported around mutilation sites and the military claims they have no flight records for most of the reports.
“I estimate about 15% of the cases we have on record have helicopter involvement,” O’Brien said.
 
Some point to satanic cults as the guilty party in these mutilations, which is partly due to the satanic panic of the 1980s. Many crimes in the 80’s were blamed on satanic cults, but the majority of those accusations proved to be false. Another contributing factor was the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ report which surmised that devil worshipers were committing the mutilations although there has never been evidence to support that claim. It is also hard to imagine cultists wrangling 1,400-pound animals with no noise or foot prints left behind.
 
“It’s almost impossible for an amateur to be able to duplicate these cuts, especially the taking the tongue out from deep in the esophagus and the lymph system,” O’Brien said. “I just don’t think satanists have the knowledge, wherewithal and motivation to do these things. We’re not talking about kids going out cow tippin’.”
 
Another popular explanation often brought up is the possibility these mutilations could be done by extraterrestrials. Both O’Brien and Perkins believe this to be the least likely of the schools of thought.
 
“There are investigators who feel that’s the only answer that can explain all this, but it doesn’t make sense to me,” O’Brien said.
However, Perkins said since the answer to this mystery is not clear at this point, extraterrestrials cannot be ruled out.
 
“Probably 50% of the people I talk to in the areas where these mutilations have happened say it could be aliens,” Perkins said. “But from my point of view it’s a long shot.”
 
O’Brien believes the mutilations could have a connection to testing for mad cow disease, while Perkins brings up the possibility of testing for radiation. At the end of the day, no one theory is a perfect fit to explains these cases, and that is one of the most intriguing aspects of these happenings.
 
“I can win any debate about these mysterious cattle deaths if I’m playing the devil’s advocate,” O’Brien said. “No matter what you come up with as an answer, there are cases that don’t fit into that particular scenario.”
 
What do the officials say?
 
The federal government has conducted two independent investigations into cattle mutilations with totally different conclusions. The BATF began an investigation into the mutilations in the early 1970s to see if they could be connected to unidentified flying objects. BATF Agent Donald Flickinger headed up the investigation. The findings showed no connection to UFOs, but found some cattle had been tranquilized and showed signs of being given anti-coagulants prior to their deaths. The agency was unable to hold anyone responsible for the mutilations, but Flickinger later distributed a memo that has forever associated mutilations with satanic cults.
 
“The UFO enthusiasts convinced him to write a letter and send it to all the sheriffs in the country to be on the lookout for cultists or devil worshipers who were doing the mutilations,” O’Brien said. “The theory gained quite a bit of notoriety and still to this day, people are touting that as the potential cause of these cases.”
After a decade of a high concentration of mutilations and pressure to explain the events, the Federal Bureau of Investigation launched “Operation Animal Mutilation” in New Mexico in 1979. The investigation was headed by ex-FBI agent Kenneth Rommel and determined a majority of the mutilations were predator attacks, although certain cases could not be explained. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also disagreed with the FBI’s explanation of the deaths after years of investigating mutilations in Canada.
 
“I find it difficult to understand how Rommel could make a statement such as this, without ever having personally witnessed a real mutilation firsthand,” said RCMP investigator Corp. Lyn Lauber. “I would like to see Rommel write off our confirmed cases as due to predators.”
 
At the same time, some of the FBI report pointed to the ranchers’ state of mind when attempting to explain the cases.
 
“Collective delusion has been the main go-to theory of the authorities,” Perkins said. “The Rommel report stated ranchers and were so economically stressed that they lost their minds and would go out and look at a natural death and suddenly say this one’s mutilated. To me that’s really insulting to the ranchers.”
Regardless of who or what is causing these deaths, the financial loss for producers like Hronich is palpable.
 
“You figure 2 to 3% natural death loss from calving to the time you sell, but when you start having phenomenal death loss, how do you manage taking 10% out for mutilations,” Hronich said.
 
While O’Brien believes at some point data will overwhelm the strange nature of the mutilations, Perkins is unsure if the mystery of these deaths will ever be resolved. Considering how long the mystery has lingered, fear of the unknown trumps all other concerns. If an unfamiliar noise awakens you in the night, it can be transformed into a million petrifying possibilities until the moment your cat reveals itself as the perpetrator. But without an answer, these mutilations are similar to a thief in the night—anonymous, confounding and frightening to those in their wake and they will remain that way until answers are uncovered.
 
The following is a list of questions that were directed to former Dulce Base Security officer Thomas Edwin Castello approximately a year before his death [or disappearance]. They are followed by his responses:
 
QUESTION - When exactly was the [upper human-occupied level of the] Archuleta installation constructed?
ANSWER - I heard Dulce was started in 1937-38 by the Army engineers, enlarged over the years, most recent work was completed 1965-66 to connect tunnels to the Page [Arizona] Base, site of one of the older underground facilities. The four corners base is called PERICA. Most of the Native Americans [the Indians] living in that area are aware of that base, and could tell us about the underground life forms that frequently are spotted near those communities, Bigfoot, etc.
(Note: The references to the Dulce base here deal mainly with the upper levels, not the extreme lower levels which include vast natural caverns and, some believe, very ancient tunnel systems as well. This would include the tunnels illuminated by phosphorus pentoxide which the alien grays avoid, and the origin of which is unknown. In fact sources have informed us that some of the underground NORAD facilities of Colorado were constructed within already-existing cavern systems, suggesting that Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver were correct when as early as the mid-1940’s they wrote about the government’s search for ancient underground cave and tunnel systems to be converted for their own use. - Branton)
Q -- By what means was the [upper] installations constructed? Are you familiar with the alleged developments made by the Rand Corporation of a highly-efficient bore or mole machine capable of melting rock using nuclear powered wolfram-graphite tipped ’drill-cones’?
A -- According to several senior maintenance workers, part of it was blasted by nuclear devices in the sixties. There are sections, like the shuttle tunnels, that were formed by an advanced tunneling machine that leaves the tunnel walls smooth. The finished walls in those tubes resemble polished black glass.
Q -- By WHOM was the Dulce installation originally constructed?
A -- Nature started the caverns. The Draco [reptilian humanoids] used the caverns and tunnels for centuries. Later, through RAND Corporation plans, it was enlarged repeatedly. The original caverns included ice caves and sulfur springs that the ’aliens’ found perfect for their needs. The Dulce caverns rival Carlsbad caverns in size.
(Note: Carlsbad caverns and especially the adjacent Lecheguilla caves are ’officially’ among the largest and deepest in the world, with several ’leads’ that remain to be explored by professional speleonauts - Branton)
Q -- What exactly are the cattle [and human] organs such as blood, anal tissue, eyes, reproductive organs, tongues, etc. used for -- i.e. the organs obtained via cattle and human mutilations?
A -- Read the so-called Dulce papers [for more information].
Q -- Are the various electromagnetically-controlled air or space craft -- [that have been seen] leaving from and arriving at Mt. Archuleta -- manned by humans, the ’alien entities’, or both?
A -- Archuleta Mesa is a minor area... the craft leave [and are stored] in five areas. One is SE of DULCE, one near Durango Co., one at Taos, N. M., and the main fleet is stored at LOS ALAMOS [under].
 
(Note: I believe Thomas Castello is referring to the ’joint-operational’ fleet. From combined sources however it appears as if Dulce is absolutely SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES by ’alien’ bases, and that Archuleta peak -- although apparently the central NEXUS of the entire underground network -- is nevertheless just one part of an overall complex that some claim is nearly the size of Manhattan!
 
One source has indicated that there are chambers a few hundred feet below the very town of Dulce itself that are part of level one of the facility. This close proximity may explain why it has usually been described as the ’Dulce Base’. Apparently even with his high-security clearance, Thomas Castello was only familiar with one part of the overall mega-complex which underlies the area. Whatever amount of activity is taking place there, different sources seem to indicate that the town of Dulce nevertheless lies over a major crossroads, convergence or ’intersection’ area of alien activity even though the ’core’ of alien activity has been extended to Los Alamos.
 
Los Alamos and the mountainous regions east and southeast of it in and around the Santa Fe National Forest seem to be the MAJOR ’nest’ of Reptiloid/Gray forces in North America, although there is also a large number of ’dens’ scattered throughout the underground networks between Dulce and Area 51.
 
Dulce seems to be a major ’through’ point for exterran and subterran reptilian activity, a central ’infiltration’ zone for surface operatives, as well as an operational base for abduction-implantation-mutilation agendas and also a major convergence for sub-shuttle terminals, UFO ports, and so on. - Branton)
 
Q -- Others have suggested that some of the entities below Dulce are not of ’extraterrestrial’ ORIGIN, and that they are actually descended from saurian or reptiloid beings such as the Velociraptors or Stenonychosaurus Equallus -- a ’serpentine’ race or races similar to that hinted at in the third chapter of the book of Genesis?
A -- Yes, some ’reptoids’ are native to this planet. The ruling caste of ’aliens’ ARE reptilian. The beige or white beings are called The Draco. Other reptilian beings are green, and some are brown. They were an ancient race on Earth, living underground. It may have been one of the Draconian beings that ’tempted’ Eve in the Garden of Eden. Reptoids rightly consider themselves "native Terrans." Perhaps they are the ones we call the Fallen Angels. Maybe not, either way, we are [considered] the ’squatters’ on Earth.
Q -- Some have suggested that the so-called underground ’E.T.’ bases and tunnels may, for a large part, be literally thousands of years old... constructions of an antediluvian race which attained to a considerable level of scientific complexity, and who were destroyed by a Divinely-initiated cataclysm which took place after they attempted to merge their science with occult/supernatural forces.
 
For instance some have suggested that the Bermuda Triangle phenomena may be the result of an out-of-control Atlantean experiment that led to a space-time disaster which produced "electromagnetic fallout" in the Triangle area and elsewhere after they had accidentally loosed powerful forces and energies into the world that they knew very little about. Do your observations tend to confirm or refute such a possibility?
 
A -- I’m not sure about the Divine part, but these ’aliens’ consider themselves ’NATIVE TERRANS.’
A -- Where do the little gray Aliens fit in?
Q -- They work for, and are controlled by the Draco. There are other gray skinned beings that are not in league with the Draco.
Q -- Did you ever talk to any of the ’Aliens’ at the Base?
A -- Since I was the Senior Security Technician at that base, I had to communicate with them on a daily basis. If there were any problems that involved security or video camera’s, I was the one they called. It was the reptilian "working caste" that usually did the physical labor in the lower levels at Dulce.
 
Decisions involving that caste were usually made by the white Draco. When human workers caused problems for the working caste, the reptoids went to the white Draconian ’boss’, and the Draco called me. At times, it felt like it was a never ending problem. Several human workers resented the "no nonsense" or "get back to work" attitude the working caste lives by.
 
When needed, intervention became a vital tool. The biggest problem were human workers who foolishly wandered around near the "OFF LIMITS" areas of the "Alien Section." I guess it’s human nature to be curious and to wonder what is past the barriers. Too often someone found a way to bypass the barriers and nosed around. The camera’s near the entrance usually stopped them before they got themselves in serious trouble. A few times I had to formerly request the Return of a human worker.
 
Q -- Are there other sites tied-in to the ’shuttle network’ other than those which you mentioned, and if so, where are the entrances?
A -- WHERE!?! EVERYWHERE! THEY CRISS CROSS THE WORLD AS AN ENDLESS SUBTERRANEAN HIGHWAY. LIKE A FREEWAY, EXCEPT THIS ONE IS UNDERGROUND... The subterranean highway in America is like a freeway except it’s underground. That highway depends on electric motors [for trucks, cars and buses] for the paved roads, and it is for limited travel.
 
There is another style of transit for freight and for passengers that is for rapid travel. That world wide network is called the "Sub-Global System." It has "check points" at each country entry. There ARE shuttle tubes that ’shoot’ the trains at incredible speeds using a mag-lev and vacuum method. They travel at a speed that excels the speed of sound. Part of your question involves the location of entrances to that base. The easiest way to answer is to say every state in the U.S.A. has them.
 
Frequently, the entrances are camouflaged as sand quarries, or mining operations. Other complex portals are found on military bases. New Mexico and Arizona have the largest amounts of entrances followed by California, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. Of all the state’s Florida and North Dakota have the least amount of entrances. Wyoming has a road that opens directly into the subterranean freeway. That road is no longer in use, but could be reactivated if they decide to do so, with minimal cost. It’s located near Brooks Lake.
 
Q -- Are there any ’bases’ in the state of Utah?
(Note: Thomas mentioned several areas surrounding Utah -- Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho, where there are ’connections’, but little on Utah which according to some sources lies directly over one of the largest NATURAL cavern systems in North America, one that is said to reach deep beneath the Western Rockies as well as beneath the Bonneville basin. - Branton)
Have you heard anything about an alleged underground installation within the Wasatch Mountains...?
A -- Salt Lake, Lake Powell Area, Dark Canyon, Dougway Grounds, Modena, Vernal. All have exits there. Others too.
(Note: There have been many rumors of ancient ’tunnel’ systems being intersected during the excavations of sub-basement levels below major industrial and mall areas in downtown Salt Lake City. Various stories surrounding these tunnels include:
explorers who have entered the tunnels and never Returned;
reports of ’lizard people’ down in the labyrinths;
reports of grays working with humans on electronic equipment and massive building projects going on in huge caverns beneath the mountains to the east;
reports of humans who are part of an Asian-based ’Agharti’ kingdom who maintain colonies within the tunnels and caverns below -- and who are in conflict with the reptiloids, grays, and a group collaborating human fascists from a network of massive underground facilities beneath the Neu Shwabenland region of Antarctica;
reports of men in suits having been seen pacing back and forth through large underground chambers carrying uzi machine guns;
reports of seemingly bottomless shafts;
large tunnels strung with lights that are "big enough to drive a semi-truck through";
sections of tunnel walls that looked solid yet which one could put their hands through;
rooms which emanate a strange greenish phosphorescent glow;
abductees who are taken below and encounter all types of aliens;
discs that have been seen emerging from the mountains to the east and attacking incoming UFOs over the valley;
Dungeons & Dragons fanatics who have been down in the tunnels and tell wild stories of hundreds of miles of maze-like passages;
reports of connections to the tunnel systems via the sewer-drainage network especially underneath the downtown "Crossroads" area;
reports of alien activity similar to that which has been described in connection to Dulce New Mexico;
and reports of a huge cavern network that reaches beyond the border of the state in all directions -- a huge network that connects the underground systems of Nevada with those of New Mexico.
There is a famous story which is not openly talked about -- there are two versions... both may be true. In one version a Mormon Temple worker penetrated an underground tunnel below the ’square’ in downtown Salt Lake City and traveled for some distance through a series of underground catacombs until running into a ’lizard’ like man.
 
The creature attempted to attack him but the man escaped and managed to find his way back to the surface. He began telling other people what had happened and soon afterwards the ’government’ arrived in the area and went in and closed off many of the tunnels leading to the sub-basements of the Temple. Presumably there was some heated debates over how much of the underground system this denomination was allowed to control.
 
A similar dispute apparently occurred to the southwest where the LDS church maintained a large storage facility under Granite Mountain in Little Cottonwood canyon, within the upper levels of a vast network of caverns. Fascist CIA elements and the Grays came in and took control of the larger caverns deeper within the mountain and ordered the ’vault’ workers to stay out of the ’forbidden’ areas -- and stated that the "U.S. Government" was now using them for "National Security" purposes and that it was their "patriotic duty" to maintain the secret.
 
The other version concerned a custodian who entered a tunnel near the cinemas area below the Crossroads Mall across the street and to the south from the temple square, while excavation was being carried out in a that part of the Mall. The worker entered the tunnel and before long encountered a ’serpent’ type man, beat a hasty retreat, and told his fellow workers what he had seen. The FBI and/or the local police soon arrived and sealed the tunnel.
 
Another story involved a young man who, along with a friend, had used a chain tied to his pickup truck to rip-up a manhole cover in the area near the ’Mall’ and the ’Square’. They navigated through a maze of sewer passages underneath and came to a shaft that descended in a series of 5 small ’rooms’ one below the other, and from the bottom room a tunnel led south into a large chamber wherein they saw a seemingly bottomless shaft, a large southwest tunnel strung with lights and ’large enough to drive a semi through’, and the footprints of some type of three-toed bi-pedal creature.
 
Other sources imply that early pioneers and settlers of the area who explored these tunnels came in contact with and in some cases even joined with some of the Telosian-Agharti-Melchizedek-Mayan underground colonies below the Salt Lake Flats, the Salt Lake Valley and the Western Rockies.
 
These subterraneans had formerly established territorial agreements with the Reptiloids and Grays before the aliens begun invading their subterranean lands below the intermountain west en-masse in the early 1900’s. The treaties were part of an attempt to stave off a possible inter-species conflict, as skirmishes between the humanoids [Teros] and reptiloids [Deros] within the cavern networks of North America had been increasing since the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s.
 
Because of a somewhat non-exclusive collective-mind with which these humans interacted, it was decided that one possible way to ’convert’ the reptilians into becoming beings of emotion and compassion was to allow them access to the group consciousness. The reptiloids however, once given access, immediately began taking advantage of the collective and used it to CONTROL the humans on a subliminal basis.
 
The ease with which this occurred may have been enhanced by the fact that the Reptiloids and Grays were already operating as part of a collective or group mind, one which was far more complex than the Ashtar or Astarte collective itself which many of the ’Aghartians’ depended on.
 
This suggests that the reptilian ’collective’ or HIVE itself is absolutely void of any and all care, concern or compassion for human beings. Individual reptiloids operating distinct from the draconian collective might however be ’tamed’ by other collective-free humanoids in some cases -- as some have reportedly been ’tamed’ by the Andro-Pleiadean worlds.
 
If the non-humans could be severed from the ’collective’ they might be deprogrammed and reprogrammed so-to-speak and even attain individual awareness and a degree of emotionalism. In such cases it would not be advisable to give these creatures equal standing among humans, and absolute subservience and monitoring should be enforced even if means were found to sever them from the collective mind network.
 
When dealing with the reptilian forces, unconditional surrender should be first offered, and if this is not accepted than direct military action would be justified especially in light of the many permanent ’abductees’ whom the Greys and Reptiloids have taken captive [those who are still alive] to their underground systems.
 
Most of the treaties that the humanoids had made with the reptiloids ’down under’ have since been broken... especially following the Groom Wars of 1975 and the Dulce Wars of 1979, during which time much of the underground U.S. base networks [which were funded by American tax dollars by the way] were taken over by the Grays.
 
Some sources have implied that the aliens took advantage of the chaos especially during the Dulce wars and commenced to invade and conquer several of the older underground colonies. This apparently led to a rift in the ’Ashtar’ collective, with many humanoids and hybrids splitting off and joining with the Andro-Pleiadean Federation non-interventionists, and many reptiloids and heartless humanoid agents splitting off and joining with the interventionists of the Draco-Orion Empire.
 
The Sirius-B system which -- aside from Arcturus and Sol -- has been the major center of ’Ashtar’ activity, has since been shaken by this split between the two opposing Ashtarian factions and war had reportedly raged through the Sirius system for several years, according to some ’contactees’... an apparent reflection of the division within the underground networks of North America between the Pleiadean-backed Sirian humanoids and Orion-backed Sirian reptiloids which both had maintained operations within the underground levels before the "Dulce Wars" broke out.
 
The Dulce wars were just the mere tip of the proverbial iceberg when we consider that the overall events which happened at Dulce had a chain reaction effect throughout this whole sector of not the galaxy. Before the division occurred, the reptiloids were invited to take part in ’peace talks’ in Telos and elsewhere as an act of good faith, but the reptiloid-grey collectivists were more interested in expanding their empire and feeding their insatiable appetite for conquest than they were in making peace, although they agreed to peace treaties that they never intended to keep for ’Trojan horse’ manipulation purposes.
 
There is a remnant collaboration such as that taking place in the underground facilities near Paradox Nevada where collectivist humanoids and reptiloids from Sirius and Sol still maintain a collaboration of necessity -- in order to establish a global control system, however a large number of humanoids within the underground systems are at war with the collectivist-interventionist Reptilian infiltrators who would otherwise ’assimilate’ these humanoids into their collective through deception, espionage and mind control.
 
Now several contactees like Alex Collier, Ray Keller, Stan Johnson and others are claiming that the conflicts in Sirius between the Andro-Pleiadean backed Ashtar forces and the Draco-Orion backed Ashtar forces -- which were infiltrated and commandeered by Draco-Orion agents -- have now spread to the Sol system, as both stellar superpowers have focused on this most strategic system, intent on protecting their respective ’interests’ here from being subverted by the other side. - Branton)
Q -- Does the Mt. Archuleta "shuttle system" connect with a shuttle system which allegedly radiates from Mt. Shasta in northern California?
A -- Yes. Mt. Shasta is a major site of Alien - Elder Race - Reptilian Race - Human meetings. Beginning Cleveland, Grover every president in U.S. history have visited Telos City. Truman was supposed to have visited the Lower Realms as a High Archon on Earth. He was supposed to have met the King of the World there, and gave him the "Keys to the U.S.A."
(Note: Whether or not the reigning ’King’ of the Agharti realms at the time had benevolent or other motives, subjecting America to an outside super-power without Congressional consent would be considered high treason. Although unelected/appointed ’individuals’ working within the Executive-Military-Industrial branch of ’government’ might choose to do so of their own volition without Congressional or Senatorial consent, such an act cannot apply to the ’America’ which is based on the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There are apparently two ’nations’ occupying the United States,
the traditional grass-roots ’America’ established by the founding fathers and led by the ’Electorate’ government,
and the fascist Bavarian-lodge-backed ’underground nation’ led by the ’Corporate’ government which is contesting the original ’America’ on its own soil.
Some predict an inevitable civil [?] war between the Electorate/Constitutional/Surface government of the U.S., and the joint humanoid-reptiloid Corporate/National-Global Socialist/Underground New World Order government, which incidentally was bought and paid for by American taxpayers and other unsavory money-making projects. This war will apparently provoke an armed United Nations / New World Order invasion of the U.S.A. which, according to George Washington’s famous ’vision’ at valley forge in 1777, will ultimately end with an American victory as a result of Divine Intervention.
 
Something like this may be inevitable if FREEDOM is to be preserved on this world, and beyond. We should never forget however that the NWO corporate elite and their draconian masters intend to ’depopulate’ the surface of this planet AND the underground systems as well. According to one Navy intelligence source the 33-plus Masons [there are allegedly several degrees above the 33rd degree which interact directly with the draconians and are part of the interplanetary initiatory lodges] intend to set the left-wing caverns and the right-wing caverns against each other in order to depopulate the underground realms so that they can impose absolute Bavarian-Draconian global control of ’both’ worlds.
 
The 33+ and higher degrees according to this source intend to ride out the inferno in super-secret fortified caverns while the 33rd and lower degree masons and their respective left-wing and right-wing armies will be left to die in the surface and subsurface wars. It may be that some of the 33+ Masons intend to ride-out the holocaust in their Alternative-3 bases on the Moon and Mars, IF those bases are still active. Remember, the roots of BOTH the ’right-wing’ National Socialist AND the ’left-wing’ Global socialist agendas trace back to Bavaria. Isn’t it interesting that the legendary ’dragon’ has TWO ’wings’ -- a right wing and a left wing -- both of which are controlled by a single ’beast’?.
 
In essence, when it comes right down to it the war is between the Judeo-Christian based Constitutional Republic of America and the Luciferian-cult-based Socialist empire of Bavaria. Both the right and left wing movements are Machiavellian extremes created by the Bavarian Black Nobility [’Black’ here being a reference to something hidden that cannot be seen, and NOT skin color] in order to foment global chaos.
 
There are several claims that the collaboration with the Reptilians began with the Luciferian cults of Bavaria, and was later brought into America via the infiltration of the Scottish Rite and the fascist core of the NSA-CIA. There may have nevertheless been a reptilian presence below North America within the caverns that dates back several centuries, however a MASSIVE reptilian infestation of these underground systems seems to have begun near the beginning of the 20th century. ’Mt. Archuleta’ might be considered the ’capital’ of the ALIEN segment of the ’secret’ [Bavarian-Draconian] New World Order government in AmericA -- with the deep underground systems beneath the Denver International Airport being the ’capital’ of the HUMAN segment of the secret government. - Branton).
Truman received assurance to new high tech knowledge, and victory over all enemies on Earth. He then was introduced to Samaza and Khoach, aliens from Bootes and Tiphon [Draco], both reptilian ’kings’ or Ambassadors. Truman updated the ’100 Treaty’ [that began IN 1933, Roosevelt] and requested magnetic advance, space knowledge and experiments. Khoach agreed, Samaza partially agreed. He exchanged hostages for genetic experiments and magnetic advance, but vetoed space and beam weaponry.
Q -- Did you notice any involvement of high-level Freemasons, Rosicrucians or Jesuits within the underground installation and/or with the aliens?
(Note: This question is based on the assumption made by some researchers that many of the Masonic lodges were, beginning about 1776, infiltrated by the Bavarian Illuminati. Much of the Masonic world is ultimately controlled by the Bavarian-lodge-backed 33+ degrees of Scottish Rite Masonry, a ’Rite’ which according to early Masonic authority Rebold can be traced back to the JESUIT college at Clermont in Paris -- a Rite which advocates the destruction of national sovereignties in exchange for world government, the destruction of religious and especially Judeo-Christian movements, and the destruction of the family-structure to be replaced by ’State’ control of children, etc., as opposed to the more traditional Protestant-Christianized YORK RITE of Masonry which the SCOTTISH RITE has attempted to subvert since its inception into Masonry.
 
This question was also based on claims from a former 33rd degree Mason, James Shaw, that the Scottish Rite headquarters in the "House of the Temple" (click image right)-- which lies at the northern apex of the pentagram-like street layout of Washington D.C. -- is filled with all kinds of indications of serpent worship in the form of murals, carvings, statues, etc., depicting serpentine figures.
 
Actually, from what my sources tell me, not only are there degrees beyond the 33rd degree, but the 33rd degree itself is made up of two cores, an inner and outer core, the 33rd degree and the 33+ degree. In the past when the 33rd degree initiation was reached a potential initiate might have been given a Bible or a Cross and asked to spit on it or desecrate it in some manner.
 
If they refused to do this they were told that they had made the "right decision" and remained in the outer core of the 33rd degree, thinking that they had finally ’arrived’. If they did or do commit this form of blasphemy then they are told that they have made the "right decision", and they are sent on to the inner core of the 33+ degree, which is the springboard to the higher levels which interact with the joint humanoid-reptiloid Ashtarian lodges or branches of the ’Serpent Cult’ on other planets, within underground cities, and possibly even other dimensions.
 
One source informs me that former president George Herbert Walker Bush -- who was at one time the HEAD of MJ-12 -- had attained to the 42nd degree, however he may have attained to even higher levels since that time. I would guess that the one who holds the highest level of initiation would be the ’dragon-king’ of Draconis himself, or whatever appellation the leader or the leaders of the Draconian Empire may go by. - Branton)
 
A - Yes I did, but that is a loaded question, and I won’t comment further. I’m not a Mason, or member of any other secret fraternal group. There is one organization I am a member of [in the U.S.A.]. That group is commonly called the "Central Unit." It is a pleasure to tell you that I AM a member of the "Sub-Galactic League" of Costa Rica.
Q -- Is there any truth to the allegations that the CIA/’Aliens’ have established ’bases’ on the moon, and also Mars?
A -- I’ve HEARD that too, but I haven’t seen proof with my own eyes. The ’aliens’ do allegedly have bases on several moons of Jupiter and Saturn. The CIA operates in other COUNTRIES, but I’ve never heard they operate on other PLANETS
(Note: Perhaps we should have referred to the CIA’s superior agency, the NSA, whose personnel reportedly pilot the "black-budget UFOs" between the LUNA and DREAMLAND bases. - Branton).
Q -- Have you heard any hints or rumors suggesting that there may be lower levels beneath the ULTRA-7 level of the Dulce base, and also, where these might lead to and what they might consist of?
A -- YES. Your guess is as good as mine... Sure, there was lots of TALK but that doesn’t mean it’s there. However, I will tell you I saw elevators that were "off limits" unless you had an UMBRA or higher security clearance. At that base, information is supplied to me at a "need to know" basis ONLY! [My clearance was ULTRA-7]
Q -- Some insist that the U.S./Secret government has developed it’s own disk-craft based largely upon top secret antigravity experiments carried out by the Nazi-German scientists during World War II. Have you heard anything referring to this?
A -- When I was working in Photo-security, heard a lot of talk, never saw the proof, but once in the Air Force I developed a roll of film that showed a craft LIKE ADAMSKI’S, WITH A SWASTIKA ON THE SIDE.
(Note: A letter from ’R.J.M.’ of Pennsylvania dated 1-31-91 stated: "...I have a lot of UFO videos. I also have ’THE SECRET LAND’ [1947]. It shows Bunger’s Oasis and says they discovered warm land at the South Pole. One German author claims the Nazi’s had a photo-finish FIGHT with Byrd. At the end of the movie, it says: ’Byrd’s Intrepid 4,000 met and defeated ANTARCTICA’S TOUGHEST BATTALIONS.’ I don’t think they were talking about the weather..."
 
Another source has stated that there were loses on BOTH sides, and the Battle for Antarctica against the Nazi’s "Last Battalion" -- which had fortified themselves in underground bases below the mountains of Neu Schwabenland, AntarcticA -- ended in a stalemate.
 
Question: Why would Adolph Hitler and Eva Braun commit suicide after Hitler had spent so much energy executing over 5000 Nazi officials whom he ’suspected’ were behind his assassination attempt at the ’Wolf’ bunker, especially if he had a way out via a secret Nazi South Polar base? The March 18, 1994 issue of THE PLAIN DEALER [Cleveland, Ohio] carried an AP story titled "DOCTORS FIND BURNT BODY COULD NOT BE HITLER’S".
 
Excerpts include:
"...French forensic experts say the charred corpse said to be Hitler’s is not his body... experts FALSIFIED verification reports ordered by Josef Stalin to APPEASE the Soviet dictator.... the body is actually that of an unknown German male. [The forensic experts] spent more than two years analyzing the autopsy reports prepared by Soviet coroners in the days following [the] surrender of the Third Reich in 1945... the body [said to be Hitler’s] had an extra tooth and only one testicle... no German doctor who had examined Hitler before his death ever mentioned either anomaly."
This is also interesting when we consider that the well-known ’abductee’, Barney Hill, remembered the following experience under regressive hypnosis as recorded in the paranormal encyclopedia, "MYSTERIES OF MIND, SPACE & TIME". Barney and his wife Betty were abducted by gray-skinned humanoids "from Zeta Reticuli".
 
HOWEVER, one of the ’beings’ on the craft was described by Barney Hill under regressive hypnosis in the following words which are taken from p.1379 of the encyclopedia: "...another figure has an EVIL face... HE LOOKS LIKE A GERMAN NAZI. HE’S A NAZI... HIS EYES! HIS EYES. I’VE NEVER SEEN EYES LIKE THAT BEFORE!"
 
Remember that this occurred nearly 15 years after Europe had supposedly been "de-Nazified". There seems to be an Antarctic connection with the Dulce scenario as well as other possible ’Nazi’ connections:
German ’tourists’ scouring New Mexico, exploring mines and caves and buying up land and mineral rights just before the outbreak of WWII;
the Nazi-connected CIA’s involvement and their placement of several Nazi S.S. agents -- who had been brought into the U.S. via Project Paperclip -- within the Dulce and other underground facilities;
the involvement of secret ’Bavarian’ lodges at Dulce;
and the possible Antarctican-Dulce connection to ’Alternative 003’.
Another interesting connection is the fact that the secret Nazi teams involved in the construction and operation of the underground bases below the mountains of Neu Schwabenland and elsewhere in Antarctica were called ULTRA teams. ULTRA is also the code-name for the DULCE base!
 
Also there seems to be a direct connection between the Dulce base and the Montauk base in Long Island -- which was/is[?] reputedly jointly operated by the Draconian Reptiloids, Orion Greys and the Bavarian Thule Society which had backed the Nazi agenda. - Branton)
 
Q -- Exactly what first made you aware that something was wrong at Dulce? Seems to me that a place as obviously horrible as this one wouldn’t need an Einstein to know that this is a CRIME site! What took you so long? Are you the guy who blew the whistle?
A -- There are several things you should know about. I took an oath, under the penalty of death, that no matter what I saw or heard I would never divulge the information. Also, I signed a waiver that states I would willingly give up my life if I was found guilty of ’treason’.
 
At the Dulce Base treason is "ANYTHING that mentions the details of daily operations at this facility, when outside the confinement of the this base." When I first arrived, a "need to know" policy was in effect. The story the ’honchos’ told us was that "this is a Tri-Biotransfer Facility with Advanced Technology, doing advanced adventurous methodology for medical and mental gains."
 
Which is a fancy way of saying they do really risky things with human life just to see what would happen. If a medical cure happens, it will be heralded on the surface of the earth as a marvelous new cure, saying it was found after years of research at some well known medical lab. The real story of the cure is never explained.
 
After all, the Dulce Base IS A SECRET FACILITY! These people are very good at what they do. They do not tell the truth about the unfortunate people that end up in "Nightmare Hall." I worked with aliens. With that in mind, you should get the idea of the secrecy and the security at that place.
 
Yes, I know this was not the usual hospital type job site, but in the beginning I ’bought’ the whole package. I was reminded daily by intercom, in the elevators, that "this site does high risk advanced medical and drug testing to cure insanity, please, never speak to the inmates, it can destroy years of work." I’m sensible, when doctors say don’t speak to them, who was I to destroy the delicate situation?
 
But one man some how caught my eye. He repeatedly stated that he was George S---- and that he had been kidnapped and he was sure someone was searching for him. I don’t know why he sticks in my mind, I found I was remembering his face, thinking he sure didn’t look or sound insane, but many inmates said that. The next weekend I convinced a friend of mine, a cop, to run a check on the guy, saying I had a run in with him and was curious.
 
I didn’t mention the base at all. It was a sickening feeling when the computer confirmed that George S. was missing. What’s worse, the cops thought he was just another guy that got tired of the daily grind and split. That was the beginning. Am I the one that blew the whistle? No. The next Monday, I searched for George, but he was gone.
 
There were no records that explained what happened to him. It was another security officer that came to me saying he and some lab workers wanted an off duty meeting at one of the tunnels, [off the record]. Curiosity took over and I said OK. That night, about nine men showed up. They said they knew they were risking me turning them in but they wanted to show me some things they thought I should see. One by one they showed records that proved many inmates were missing people.
 
There were newspaper clippings, and even photos that they had some how smuggled into the base. They hoped to smuggle them back out, without me turning them in to the honchos. I could see the fear in their faces as they spoke. One man stated he would rather lose his life by trying, than to lose his soul by not doing anything at all. It was that remark that turned the tide. I told them about George and the things I found out about him. After a few hours we pledged to attempt to expose the Dulce Base.
Q -- The name Nightmare Hall is descriptive, but surely there was a ’regular’ name, what was it called in the manuals?
A -- In the manuals it was called "The Vivarium". It describes Dulce Base as a "secured facility for tending bio-forms of all types." In their report it is retold as "a private subterranean bio-terminal park, with accommodations for animals, fish, fowl, reptile, and mankind." After SEEING this ’park’ the name Nightmare Hall is far more accurate than the manual. The ’accommodations’ for the inmates at Nightmare Hall fall short of the pretty picture the manual describes.
 
Q -- What type of security is found at the Dulce Base? What else is used against espionage or unauthorized entry?
A -- I’ll mention a few, but it would be nearly impossible to cover it all. The weapon, besides the Flash Gun, mostly used is a form of sonic. Built in with each light fixture [and most camcorders] is a device that could render a man unconscious in seconds with nothing more than a silent tone. At Dulce there also are still and VCR cameras, eye print, hand print stations, weight monitors, lasers, ELF and EM equipment, heat sensors and motion detectors and quite a few other methods.
 
There is no way you could get very far into the base. If you made it to the second level, you would be spotted within fifteen feet. More than likely, you would become an inmate and never see the light of the surface world again. If you were ’lucky’, you would be re-programmed and become one of the countless spies for the Ruling Caste.
Q -- According to certain reports, the Dulce Base is host to [other] aliens that live in level five. Is that true? Can the humans freely roam or meet one-to-one in the halls or is some type of protocol in effect?
A -- There is protocol from the first time you enter the base and it MUST be followed every time you SEE an alien there. From the working caste, to the visiting aliens, to the Ruling Caste, there is a never ending check list of rules, law, and strict protocol. There is never a chance to roam on the fifth level. The alien housing area is off limits to any human. The Hub is surrounded by security, arsenal, military and CIA\FBI sections.
 
The area past the security is one of the most secured areas because it houses so many classified files. The entire east side of the fifth level is off limits except for security personnel holding ULTRA-7 [security clearance] or higher. The garage on the west side of the fifth level requires ULTRA-4 clearance.
Q -- Is there proof available that could confirm the allegations of the underground base, or are we just supposed to believe you?
A -- Many people have asked that one. No, I don’t expect people to believe with blind faith, there is tangible proof that has been seen, felt or inspected by quite a few folks. I’m in no position to go on a lecture circuit to explain to every person on a one-to-one basis. I am trying to stay alive.
 
All I can do is state again, that Dulce is a SECRET FACILITY. They work HARD to make sure nobody can find the place. If everyone could easily find it, it wouldn’t be a SECRET facility. I’ve explained the extreme security methods they use. There is other proof available.
Q -- You have been through so much, and yet keep fighting, what is your biggest fear?
A -- That the general public will forget THE TRAPPED INNOCENT PEOPLE in the despicable place, and will ignore THE HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN, WOMEN AND MEN ADDED TO THAT PLACE EVERY MONTH.
 
I believe that Animal Mutilations are being done to create hybrids. I believe Thomas Castello is a government plant to lie about aliens and not about animal hybrids What the government won’t talk about is the parts that were pulled from animals near Dulce. Strange parts like the rectum, tongue, rudders, eyes and organs. Ancient myths talks about human animal hybrids like eagle heads on a human body or a centaur half man half horse. I believe we did this all before the flood. Dulce, NM is no more than a scientific lab to try and create an ET instead of working with them. This is the great deception in the end of days that everyone will believe.
 
The government is preparing for a fake alien invasion that they will create themselves. Werner Von Braun admitted it to his assistant on his death bed. They always need a boogie man. First it was commies, then men in caves, then meteors and finally the last card. Aliens. I remote viewed Dulce, NM. These are the following pictures I drew to describe what I saw.

The Black Knight Satellite Conspiracy

The Black Knight Satellite Conspiracy
The Black Knight satellite conspiracy theory claims that a spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin is in near-polar orbit of the Earth, and that NASA is covering up its existence and origin. This conspiracy theory combines several unrelated stories into one narrative.
A photo taken during the STS-88 mission claimed by some to show the Black Knight satellite is catalogued by NASA as a photo of space debris,[1] and space journalist James Oberg considers it as probable debris of a thermal blanket confirmed as lost during the mission.
According to some UFO conspiracists, the Black Knight is an artificial satellite of extraterrestrial origin that has orbited Earth for approximately 13,000 years; the "satellite" story is most likely a conflation of several disconnected stories about various objects and their interpretations, all of them well documented independently and none using the term Black Knight upon their first publication. According to senior education support officer Martina Redpath of Armagh Planetarium in Northern Ireland:
Black Knight is a jumble of completely unrelated stories; reports of unusual science observations, authors promoting fringe ideas, classified spy satellites and people over-interpreting photos. These ingredients have been chopped up, stirred together and stewed on the internet to one rambling and inconsistent dollop of myth.[4]
The origin of the Black Knight legend is often "retrospectively dated" back to natural extraterrestrial repeating sources supposedly heard during the 1899 radio experiments of Nikola Tesla and long delayed echoes first heard by amateur radio operator Jørgen Hals in Oslo, Norway, in 1928. Brian Dunning of the Skeptoid podcast attributes Tesla's 1899 radio signals to pulsars, which were not identified until 1968.
 
In 1954, UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe told newspapers that the United States Air Force had reported that two satellites orbiting Earth had been detected. At that time, no country had the technology to launch a satellite. Skeptics have noted that Keyhoe had been promoting a UFO book at the time, and the news stories were likely written "tongue-in-cheek" and not intended to be taken seriously.
 
A British rocket called the Black Knight rocket was used in conjunction with the Blue Streak missile program between 1958 and 1965, to test re-entry vehicles. A "Black Knight satellite launcher" project announced in 1964 was considered a priority by the Ministry of Aviation. The program never put anything into orbit, and it is unrelated to the Black Knight satellite legend.
 
In February 1960, Time reported that the U.S. Navy had detected a dark object thought to be a Soviet spy satellite in orbit. A follow-up article confirmed that the object was "the remains of an Air Force Discoverer 8 satellite that had gone astray."[5][12]
 
In 1963, astronaut Gordon Cooper supposedly reported a UFO sighting during his 15th orbit in Mercury 9 that was confirmed by tracking stations, but there is no evidence that this happened.[4] Neither NASA's mission transcripts nor Cooper's personal copies show any such report being made during the orbit.[5]
 
In 1973, Scottish author Duncan Lunan analysed the long delayed radio echoes received by Hals and others and speculated that they could possibly originate from a 13,000 year old alien probe located in an orbit around the Earth's Moon. He suggested that the probe may have originated from a planet located in the solar system of star Epsilon Boötis. Lunan later retracted his conclusions, saying that he had made "outright errors" and that his methods had been "unscientific".[4][5]
 
Space debris photographed in 1998 during the STS-88 mission has been widely claimed to be the Black Knight satellite. Space journalist James Oberg considers it probable that the photographs are of a thermal blanket that was confirmed as lost during an EVA by Jerry L. Ross and James H. Newman.[4][6]
 
It's been more than 120 years, conspiracists believe, since the existence of the Black Knight was first recorded. Those who subscribe to the theory invoke an extraterrestrial spacecraft in near-polar orbit of Earth, although they draw upon pieces of evidence so disparate that it's not entirely clear why people link them. What it all amounts to is a strange brew that has spurred some folks to shout about cover-ups by NASA and other government entities. It's a legend that refuses to go away.
 
A lot of the earliest discoveries that have been linked to the Black Knight satellite theory relate to radio signals. But a series of images from 1998 really threw the celestial cat among the pigeons. They were taken during STS-88, the first space shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
 
There, for all to see, were images released by NASA that showed a black object hovering above our planet in low Earth orbit. And it wasn't long after the images were thrust in front of a hopeful public before people were performing some conspiratorial sums and sharing them with the wider world.
 
By way of explanation, STS-88 astronaut Jerry Ross pointed out that the ISS was in the midst of being constructed when the images were taken. The U.S. team, he said, was on its way to attach the American module to the one created by the Russians and, as part of that work, they had taken four trunnion pin thermal covers with them. The task was to wrap these around four bare trunnion pins, these being rods that attached the module to the space shuttle Endeavour while it was being transported. This would act to prevent heat loss from the exposed metal.
 
Unfortunately, during one of the spacewalks associated with this work, things went a little bit wrong: One of the covers came loose from its tether, causing it to float away along with some other items.
 
"Jerry, one of the thermal covers got away from you," STS-88 commander Robert Cabana (who now serves as associate administrator of NASA) told Ross during the spacewalk, and it soon became apparent that the cover was lost for good.
 
Subsequently captured on camera, this runaway black object was given the catalog number 025570 by NASA. A few days later, the item fell from orbit and burned up.
 
Much of this information been placed on the record. Former NASA engineer James Oberg, who personally knows Ross and the person who took the photos, cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, has demonstrated that these supposed images of the Black Knight actually depict a very mundane object.
 
"Before leaving NASA, I led the trajectory design team that produced the mission profile," Oberg told All About Space.
 
"Every step of the way, there is consistency with what I learned as a lifelong spaceflight operations specialist: why the blankets were needed, why one of them came loose, why it floated off the way it did," he added. "The difference is, for the general public all these features are unearthly to folks who are only familiar with Earthside principles of heating, working, motion and dozens of other never-before-encountered-in-history aspects of outer space."
 
Given Oberg's thorough debunking, you'd think the matter would have been put to bed long ago. But no. Since the images were shared far and wide, conspiracy theories have lingered.
 
"They are probably some of the weirdest-looking 70-mm photos to ever come out of the space shuttle program," Oberg said. “And apparently a NASA website update made the original links inoperative, sparking concerns over a cover-up. All normal journalistic practices — determining the timeline, asking witnesses, searching for the wider context — were skipped."
 
Conspiracists absorbed the STS-88 images into a growing body of "evidence," claiming they were proof that the Black Knight alien satellite really is out there.
 
Reaching that conclusion, however, has required greats leaps of faith, and has also needed past observations to be forced into the overall story. Firm believers have had no problems going all the way back to 1899 in pursuit of such "truth," but, just like the photographic records, each piece of supposed evidence brought to the table so far has been explained just fine without falling back on the Black Knight myth.
 
So what happened in 1899? Nikola Tesla began to record some very odd signals, seemingly from outer space. While in his barn-like laboratory in Colorado Springs that year, the genius Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer noted some unusual radio signals and speculated they had come from an intelligent alien civilization.
 
That's perhaps the least likely explanation, of course. Over the years, some people have speculated that Tesla may have detected emissions from a pulsar, a superdense, fast-spinning stellar corpse. But that's probably off the mark as well, scientists say.
 
"The very first source of non-terrestrial radio waves was discovered in the 1930s, and that was from the center of our galaxy, which is the most powerful radio source in the sky at many frequencies," said Varoujan Gorjian, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. "It wasn’t until the 1960s that the technology evolved to detect the first pulsars. If what Tesla detected was a real signal and not an artifact of his instrument, it most likely came from Earth."
 
According to a former navy officer, scientist and teacher, the reason we know it exists is that photos of it were taken during manned space missions in 1998. It has been reported that it appears and disappears, does not show up on radar, it changes shape and it was in an orbit that was stable - meaning it had been there for a long time. This was reported to be known that neither we nor the Russians had put this into space.
 
As a result of these reports, it supposedly became the object of study by a lot of people and organizations around the world. Over the years, various researchers, news reporters, Youtube videos and amateur astronomers have made various claims about it.
 
It was reported to have first been seen and reported in 1958 - about the time of Sputnik but others have said it shows up in ancient writings as much as 13,000 years ago. It has also been reported that radio signals emanate from it and that Nikola Tesla was able to receive and decrypt those signals in 1898.
 
The generally accepted theory is that because we did not know what it was or who put it up there, it was seen as a threat to be analyzed and monitored. This went on for years during which time it was not seen for long period of time. Meanwhile, our technology for tracking and photography got better and better so the next time it was seen, it was tracked and photographed extensively. All the data was sent to the Air Force center for analysis by the best methods possible. Or at least that is what has been reported.
 
Those reports state that all that analysis paid off. They finally determined what it was and where it came from.
 
The truth is. . . . . .It is a thermal blanket that was intended to be used to protect parts of the ISS space station during its assembly. All the rest of the reports about its age and radio emissions and sightings are all just made-up nonsense lies by conspiracy nuts and imaginative reporters.
 
We - being NASA and the government - have always known exactly what it is. There has never been any serious government or scientific research into the “Black Knight”. All that you have heard - including 100% of what was said in the above-linked video - is all just made-up lies and hype. All the photos of it are from a few taken at the time the thermal cover was lost mixed in with totally unrelated and faked photos of other objects. The whole story is just fiction.
 
This is what you get when people don’t understand science and are willing to believe the most outrageous stories.
 
UPDATE #1:
 
What is really amazing about this is the amount of completely bogus made-up lies that have been added to this story. Stuff like that video and other texts attribute to this lost thermal blanket some of the most fantastic bullshit you can imagine - as reflected in numerous comments to this post. With absolutely no basis, people have said that:
 
It is hundreds or thousands of years old
It is in a polar orbit
It emits radio signals
Nikola Tesla received these signals and decoded them
It is really a alien spy satellite
It has a cloaking device
It is a shape shifting alien
it is a weapon
and on and on.
 
It's a thermal blanket, accidentally released during attempted installation on the International Space Station.
 
Oberg, totally and completely, over the top, nails that. Now, some objections that are raised:
 
The Black Knight, is, well, black. Can't you see the photos? And that thermal blanket is white, obviously this is a cover-up.
 
First of all, the blanket is white on one side and silvery, reflective, on the other. Both sides, unless in the sun or reflecting the sun or other bright object, would appear black in space.
 
I can't see the shapes Oberg points out from thermal blanket photos.
 
Look more carefully. They are pieces of shapes that can then be seen in the images of the floating blanket.
 
There is no air in space, so why is the blanket spread out like that? Obviously this is a cover-up.
 
Yes. No air in space. So? The blanket looks like, looks like .... a blanket floating in zero gravity, that's exactly what it looks like. It would have momentum from its original loss, and would continue to move and deform a little from that.
 
Now, this is the ultimate silliness. Supposedly, this is a satellite that's been up there for 13,000 years. It is an extremely difficult exercise to match orbits of satellites. Obviously, it's done when the shuttle or Russian supply flights dock with the ISS. However, if there is another satellite in orbit, even at the same altitude, the chance that it would just saunter by the ISS is just about zero, perfectly matched in orbit, unless it came from the ISS. Because of its shape, and its light, this object would rapidly de-orbit. It was apparently tracked briefly before coming down (there are catalogs and watchers of space junk), I didn't nail all that.
 
The International Space Station orbit is not high, there is some residual atmospheric drag at that altitude, the orbit decays 2 km per month, so it is maintained with occasional fuel burns. So ... this satellite has been there for 13,000 years?
 
There are some fake videos on youtube, made by manipulating the available images.
 
[linked video has been removed from youtube]
 
The video makes it look like the satellite is flying by. However this is one of the images from STS 088, frame 66, see the Oberg pdf page 24. In the original sequence, the object is tumbling. Here, it's quite still, but appears to be getting larger as it gets closer, and it appears to move across the background. Reasonably nicely done, but ... it slows down as it gets closer, whereas an object in orbit would be moving at a constant velocity, and so would appear to move more rapidly across the field of view as it approached.
 
This was completely fake. There are trolls out there laughing at how stupid people are.
 
I merged this with Unidentified Flying Objects: Does the Black Knight satellite actually exist? but Quora Content Review reverted that.
 
"Black Knight Satellite" is a name for a series of claims that have been strung together under this name. I have not yet identified when the epithet "Black Knight satellite" came to be applied to the long term concept -- which is quite vague, as can be seen in Ranjith's answer. That post is completely devoid of sources.
 
It is extremely unlikely that Nikola Tesla ever referred to a "Black Knight satellite."
 
What happens on the internet is that people repeat what they read, and don't check sources. Or they check sources and find it, but don't look for the root of a claim, or some plausible connection. For example, Ranjith has "according to monitoring agencies around the world ..." but there is no reference to any monitoring agency or any specific report, even though this has supposedly been going on for 50 years. According to whom?
 
Ranjith calls these statements "facts," but then adds, at the end, "not sure about the authenticity." In fact, more honest would be "I have no clue at all, but I found these things being said and I decided to repeat them without telling anyone where I found them other than the "internet."
 
Only the last of Ranjith's 20 claims has to do with the object shown in NASA images. Ranjith wrote:
 
NASA has released official images which apparently show the Black Knight Satellite.
 
What the NASA images show is an accidentally "dropped" thermal blanket, lost while being installed on the International Space Station, see Abd Ul-Rahman Lomax's answer to Does the Black Knight satellite actually exist?
 
All the other claims are from long ago. Where did the name "Black Knight" come from? At first glance, it seems to be from the appearance of that blanket. However, what threat ties this, in the minds of those who write about things like this, with those old events, mysteries, or anomalies? Why is this all called "Black Knight satellite"?
 
There are two million ghits on "Black Knight satellite." However, pulling back the date range led me to a page
 
The Black Knight Satellite with lots of claims -- and references and sources.
 
That page has an item: News Clippings 1954 - The Black Knight Satellite
 
The link opens up some news clippings. No mention of "Black Knight" in them. Basically, two UFO sightings. Both were really about claims by Donald Keyhoe , a UFO researcher. Practically no substance.
 
I have been unable to find any mention of "Black Knight satellite" (relating to this) before the STS photos appeared.
 
There is a 1960 article shown. Essentially, it is simply a "mystery satellite," speculated to be of Russian origin. They say it is about the "Black Knight satellite," showing how mysteries are constructed: pile together all unknown things, all anomalies, and there are many in life, and give them all the same name, and presto! the evidence seems overwhelming!
 
I found an attribution of "Black Knight satellite" in The Occult Connection: Unidentified Flying Objects By Ken Hudnall, to John Keel, Disneyland of the Gods, 1988. According to Hudnall, "Black Knight" was a name given to a 1960 radar blip, which would be that 1960 article.
 
At this point the story gets weirder and weirder.... Philip K. Dick is involved, one cool writer.
 
I now have unmistakeable signs that I am slipping into an alternate universe: I just googled "Philip K. Dick" and no Wikipedia article shows up. Obviously, they don't want me to find out. However, going directly to Wikipedia and pasting the same in the search bar, Philip K. Dick .
 
So I went back to Google and searched again. This time, Wikipedia was on top. I had done it twice before, no Wikipedia links. There is no other explanation: this is a sign from the Black Knight that Dick really had been contacted by this alien intelligence.
 
Ahem! Even if what was seen in 1998 was a thermal blanket. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
 
So, why isn’t there more research into the Dark Knight the supposed ‘Alien Satellite’?
 
Because researchers know exactly what the Black Knight satellite is already: a UFO-ologist named Donald Keyhoe invented the story to help sell a book. Other conspiracy theorists have piled on since then, turning pictures of drifting insulation blankets into alien satellites, and even claiming it had been in Earth orbit for 13,000 years.
 
The Black Knight satellite is a popular subject of conspiracy theories and speculative claims about extraterrestrial technology. However, there are several reasons why it is not visible through modern telescopes:
 
Lack of Evidence: The existence of the Black Knight satellite has not been substantiated by credible evidence. Most claims about it are based on anecdotal reports, misinterpretations of natural phenomena, or hoaxes.
Orbital Characteristics: If the Black Knight satellite were real, its orbit would need to be well-defined. However, there is no confirmed orbital path or trajectory that matches the descriptions provided by proponents of the theory.
Size and Reflectivity: The alleged satellite is described as being relatively small and possibly dark in color, which would make it difficult to detect against the vastness of space, especially if it does not reflect much sunlight.
Technological Limitations: While modern telescopes are powerful, they have limitations in terms of resolution and sensitivity. Many satellites are small and can be hard to distinguish from background stars and other celestial objects.
Focus on Known Objects: Astronomers typically focus their observations on known celestial bodies and phenomena, which means that even if the Black Knight satellite existed, it might not be a priority for observation.
 
In summary, the combination of a lack of credible evidence, potential orbital challenges, and observational limitations contributes to the inability to see the Black Knight satellite through modern telescopes.
 
Is the Black Knight satellite still there, and if so, why was it not retrieved?
 
Yes indeed Kyrenaz, and amazingly it is still transmitting a faint signal after all these years. I was surprised myself when a local news magazine did a item on it a couple of years ago they had the frequency and even demonstrated it on-camera with a very small antenna.
 
Why was it not retrieved? That’s easy to answer, the Black Knight and the Blue and Silver Knights were all test programs, they had no other purpose other than to test whether the delivery vehicle could actually place a satellite into orbit or deliver a war-head from orbit. The satellite was given a transmitter only to prove that it had been successfully into orbit and that it had survived. So basically it was just space-junk. Although I have been told that there is replica/unused unit at the Leicester University Space Centre, but that’s just hear-say. This is the real Black Knight, which has nothing to do with the popular conspiracy theory mentioned elsewhere.
 
The Knight program was the forerunner of the Blue Streak, the UK’s failed ICBM, which I worked on in the sixties.
 
The de Havilland Propellers Blue Streak was a British Intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), and later the first stage of the Europa satellite launch vehicle. Blue Streak was cancelled without entering full production.[4]
 
The project was intended to maintain an independent British nuclear deterrent, replacing the V bomber fleet which would become obsolete by 1965. The operational requirement for the missile was issued in 1955 and the design was complete by 1957. During development, it became clear that the missile system was too expensive and too vulnerable to a surprise attack. The missile project was cancelled in 1960, with US-led Skybolt the preferred replacement.
 
Partly to avoid political embarrassment from the cancellation,[according to whom?] the UK government proposed that the rocket be used as the first stage of a civilian satellite launcher called Black Prince. As the cost was thought to be too great for the UK alone, international collaboration was sought. This led to the formation of the European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO), with Blue Streak used as the first stage of a carrier rocket named Europa.[citation needed]
 
Europa was tested at Woomera Test Range, Australia and later at Kourou in French Guiana. Following launch failures, the ELDO project was cancelled in 1972 and Blue Streak with it.
 
Post-war Britain's nuclear weapons armament was initially based on free-fall bombs delivered by the V bomber force. It soon became clear that if Britain wanted to have a credible nuclear deterrent threat, a ballistic missile was essential. There was a political need for an independent deterrent, so that Britain could remain a major world power. Britain was unable to purchase American weapons wholesale due to the restrictions of the Atomic Energy Act of 1946.
 
In April 1954 the Americans proposed a joint development programme for ballistic missiles. The United States would develop an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) of 5,000 nautical miles (9,300 km) range (SM-65 Atlas), while the United Kingdom with United States support would develop an Intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) of 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km) range. The proposal was accepted as part of the Wilson-Sandys Agreement of August 1954, which provided for collaboration, exchange of information, and mutual planning of development programmes. The decision to develop was influenced by what could be learnt about missile design and development in the US. Initial requirements for the booster were made by the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough with input on the rocket engine design from the Rocket Propulsion Establishment at Westcott. Operational Requirement 1139 demanded a rocket of at least 1,500 nautical miles (2,800 km) range and the initially proposed rocket would have just reached that threshold.
 
The de Havilland Propellers company won the contract to build the missile, which was to be powered by an uprated liquid-fuelled Rocketdyne S-3D engine, developed by Rolls-Royce, called RZ.2. Two variants of this engine were developed: the first provided a static thrust of 137,000 lbf (610 kN) and the second (intended for the three-stage satellite launch vehicle) 150,000 lbf (670 kN). The engines could be vectored by seven degrees in flight and were used to guide the missile. This configuration, however, put considerable pressure on the autopilot which had to cope with the problem of a vehicle whose weight was diminishing rapidly and that was steered by large engines whose thrust remained more or less constant. Vibration was also a problem, particularly at engine cut-off, and the later development of the autopilot for the satellite launcher was, in itself, a considerable achievement.
 
Subcontractors included the Sperry Gyroscope Company who produced the missile guidance system whilst the nuclear warhead was designed by the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston.
 
The missiles used liquid oxygen and kerosene propellants. Whilst the vehicle could be left fully laden with over 20 tonnes of kerosene, the 60 tonnes of liquid oxygen had to be loaded immediately before launch or icing became a problem. Due to this, fuelling the rocket took 4.5 minutes, which would have made it useless as a rapid response to an attack. The missile was vulnerable to a pre-emptive nuclear strike, launched without warning or in the absence of any heightening of tension sufficient to warrant readying the missile. To negate this problem de Havilland created a stand-by feature. A missile could be held at 30 seconds' notice to launch for ten hours. As the missiles were to be deployed in pairs and it took ten hours for one missile to be prepared for stand-by, one of the two missiles could always be ready for rapid launch.
 
To protect the missiles against a pre-emptive strike while being fuelled, the idea of sitting the missiles in underground launchers was developed. These would have been designed to withstand a one megaton blast at a distance of one-half mile (800 m) and were a British innovation, subsequently exported to the United States. Finding sites for these silos proved extremely difficult. RAF Spadeadam in Cumberland (now Cumbria) was the only site where construction was started on a full scale underground launcher, although test borings were undertaken at a number of other locations. The remains of this test silo, known as U1, were rediscovered by tree felling at Spadeadam[when?]. This was also the site where the RZ.2 rocket engines and also the complete Blue Streak missile were tested. The best sites for silo construction were the more stable rock strata in parts of southern and north-east England and eastern Scotland, but the construction of many underground silos in the countryside carried enormous economic, social, and political costs. Development of the underground launchers presented a major technical challenge. 1/60- and 1/6-scale models based on a U-shaped design were constructed and tested at RPE Westcott. Three alternative designs were drawn up with one chosen as the prototype, designated K11. RAF Upavon would appear to have been the preferred location for the prototype operational launcher with the former RNAS at Crail as the likely first operational site.
 
In 1955–1956, the rocket motors were test-fired at High Down Rocket Test Site on the Isle of Wight.[5] As no site in Britain provided enough space for test flights, a test site was established at Woomera, South Australia.
 
Cancellation as a military project
Doubts arose as the cost escalated from the first tentative figure of £50 million submitted to the Treasury in early 1955, to £300 million in late 1959. Its detractors in the civil service claimed that the programme was crawling along when compared with the speed of development in the US and the Soviet Union. [citation needed]
 
Estimates within the Civil Service for completion of the project ranged from a total spend of £550 million to £1.3 billion, as different ministers were set on either abandoning or continuing the project.
 
The project was unexpectedly cancelled in April 1960.[7] Whitehall opposition grew, and it was cancelled on the ostensible grounds that it would be too vulnerable to a first-strike attack. Admiral of the Fleet Lord Mountbatten had spent considerable effort arguing that the project should be cancelled at once in favour of the Navy being armed with nuclear weapons, capable of pre-emptive strike.
 
Some[who?] considered the cancellation of Blue Streak to be not only a blow to British military-industrial efforts, but also to Commonwealth ally Australia, which had its own vested interest[clarification needed] in the project.
 
The British military transferred its hopes for a strategic nuclear delivery system to the Anglo-American Skybolt missile, before the project's cancellation by the United States as its ICBM programme reached maturity. The British instead purchased the Polaris system from the Americans, carried in British-built submarines.
 
Civilian programmes - Black Prince and ELDO
After the cancellation as a military project, there was reluctance to cancel the project because of the huge cost incurred. Blue Streak would have become the first stage of a projected all British satellite launcher known as "Black Prince": the second stage was derived from the Black Knight test vehicle, and the orbital injection stage was a small hydrogen peroxide/kerosene motor.
 
Black Prince proved too expensive for the UK, and the European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO) was set up. This used Blue Streak as the first stage, with French and German second and third stages. The Blue Streak first stage was successfully tested three times at the Woomera test range in Australia as part of the ELDO programme.
 
Black Prince

In 1959, a year before the cancellation of the Blue Streak as a missile, the government requested that the RAE and Saunders-Roe design a carrier rocket based on Blue Streak and Black Knight. This design used Blue Streak as a first stage and a 54-inch (140-centimetre) second stage based on the Black Knight.[8] Several different third stages would be available, depending on the required payload and orbit.
 
The cost of developing Black Prince was estimated to be £35 million.
 
It was planned that Black Prince would be a Commonwealth project. As the government of John Diefenbaker in Canada was already spending more money than publicly acknowledged on Alouette and Australia was not interested in the project, these two countries were unwilling to contribute. South Africa was no longer a member of the Commonwealth. New Zealand was only likely to make "modest" contributions.[9]
 
European Launcher Development Organisation

The UK instead proposed a collaboration with other European countries to build a three-stage launcher capable of placing a one-ton payload into low Earth orbit. The European Launcher Development Organisation consisted of Belgium, Britain, France, West Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, with Australia as an associate member.
 
Preliminary work began in 1962 and ELDO was formally signed into existence in 1964.
 
With Blue Streak, the UK became the first stage of the European launch vehicle with France providing the Coralie second stage and Germany the third. Italy worked on the satellite project, the Netherlands and Belgium concentrated on tracking and telemetry systems and Australia supplied the launch site.
 
The combined launcher was named Europa.
 
After ten test launches, the Woomera launch site was not suitable for putting satellites into geosynchronous orbit, and in 1966 it was decided to move to the French site of Kourou in South America. F11 was fired from here in November 1971, but the failure of the autopilot caused the vehicle to break up. The launch of F12 was postponed whilst a project review was carried out, which led to the decision to abandon the Europa design.
 
ELDO was merged with the European Space Research Organisation to form the European Space Agency.
 
Most of the evidence points to man-made material. But the one things that the evidence can’t explain is the shape of the black knight. No one can explain its shape matching the image. Hundreds of pictures pre-AI and photoshop show something alien when now the object looks just like debris. It reminds me of the sphynx face on mars when the first pictures came out. Years later they show it was just shadows. This means they had time to mess or doctor the photo. The truth is, this isn’t an easy pass. The data shows it’s space junk while the older images show something strange. Unfortunately, you will have to look at the pictures old and new and determine for yourself. Personally, I can’t tell you what it is. I can’t come to a conclusion because it simply is unexplained.

- Tesla's Radio Waves: One of the earliest references to the Black Knight Satellite comes from inventor Nikola Tesla in the 1890s. Tesla claimed to have intercepted radio signals originating from space, which he believed were attempts at extraterrestrial communication. Some speculate that Tesla's findings are connected to the Black Knight Satellite, suggesting that it has been transmitting signals for over a century.
 
- Astronaut Sightings: Several astronauts, including Gordon Cooper and Scott Carpenter, have reported observing unidentified objects during their space missions. Although these sightings may not directly link to the Black Knight Satellite, they contribute to the broader narrative of potential extraterrestrial presence in space. These firsthand accounts lend credibility to the idea that there might be more to the satellite than meets the eye.
 
Deciphering the Truth: Analyzing the Evidence
 
When evaluating the ongoing enigma of the Black Knight Satellite, it's crucial to examine the available evidence and consider multiple perspectives. While definitive proof remains elusive, several factors can help us navigate through the speculation and arrive at a reasonable conclusion.
 
- Scientific Investigations: Researchers have attempted to study the Black Knight Satellite using various methods, including radio telescopes and satellite tracking systems. However, these efforts have yielded inconclusive results, leaving room for interpretation and further exploration.
 
- Occam's Razor: Applying the principle of Occam's Razor, which suggests that the simplest explanation is often the most likely, we can consider the space debris explanation as a plausible option. The prevalence of space debris in Earth's orbit makes it statistically more probable than an extraterrestrial artifact. However, this does not discount the possibility of the satellite being of extraterrestrial origin entirely.
 
- Open-Mindedness: While skepticism is essential in any investigation, it's also important to remain open-minded to possibilities beyond our current understanding. The enigma of the Black Knight Satellite challenges our knowledge of the universe and invites us to explore all sides.

School Shootings - The Cause

School Shootings - The Cause
Why is this happening? Is this a manufactured effort to get rid of the second amendment using trauma as a psychological weapon? Or is it a mental health issue? How many have happened and what data supports any of the above? Is this an American issue or worldwide? And lastly, if we get rid of the right to own and operate a gun, will history repeat itself as genocide will follow? School shootings are absolutely horrific. They leave a haunting feeling for decades in every town they happen in. My own town had a school shooting. A friend I went to school with had his son directly in the cross fires. Thanks to my friend’s fatherly duties, his boy chose to be a hero and not a victim and tackled and restrained the shooter saving many lives. You don’t think it would happen in your town but it’s a phenomenon that is more common than we think. The argument to outlaw guns as the problem has many hurdles to overcome. But it’s gaining strength. I used to worry about what would happen if we lost our right to defend ourselves until I went through the stages of grief for a dying country. I have gone to acceptance that my opinion is just that. It holds no weight in the social realm. Sure, I could come up with a clever meme to hold it off for another year but the entities that want to get rid of guns are stockpiling evidence and data that eventually will be used to remove them altogether. It’s in the data.
Personally, if we lose those rights, I will be just fine. I am not worried nor do I care anymore about the second amendment because history shows every country that gave those rights take it away eventually. So why would I worry about it? It’s only a matter of time as the ones who are afraid of an armed citizen find a way to remove their way of defending themselves. To be angry and protest never truly did much of anything. The only real power that has kept the second amendment at play has been the way the constitution was written and the NRA lobbyists. Frankly, the second amendment has been used as a divide and conquer tool, in my opinion. The political right are being used for the left to hate. It’s a simple divide and conquer strategy. Mass shootings started in the 70’s right when George Bush was the director of the FBI. Coincidence? The interesting thing about the data is the incidences drop every election year by 90%. Data doesn’t lie. Could the government or secret service be actually creating these events? Alex Jones was sued for almost a billion dollars refuting the Sandy Hook case. His argument was there were crisis actors and the deaths were faked. I remember seeing the evidence and there were familiar faces in other events not including freemasonic necklaces on witnesses. But this doesn’t prove anything. Like the challenger explosion and the astronauts that died are now professors and business people, it appears to be faked but the evidence at a glance isn’t there.
Could the government have framed Alex Jones? It’s possible, but he retracted his statements, so if he was innocent, why would he not stand his ground? The truth always comes out in 20 years. I mention this a lot because it’s how long the military is capable of keeping a secret through departmentalization. Humans can keep a secret for 2 years and the government 20. That’s the stats. Just like the truth about 911 has come out. There are so many books now about the evidence that if one wanted to see the truth, they could find it now, but during the 20 years of secrecy, it was hard to find any good author until now. The evidence is overwhelming but the government will never admit that. There is too much at stake releasing the truth. Paul James Lioy, an environmental scientist known for his analysis of the health effects of the dust produced by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, died after collapsing at Newark Liberty International Airport. This story is the same with many other authors who exposed the 911 conspiracy. A majority of the authors about it have passed away. For the government, it’s easy to cover things up. Just look at the Franklin coverup. The Franklin Cover-Up was a controversial conspiracy theory that alleges a child sex trafficking ring operated in Omaha, Nebraska, in the 1980s. The ring was supposedly connected to prominent political figures and business leaders, and the allegations included claims of ritual abuse, satanic worship, and murder. Still to this day, not one person has been identified or arrested for their crimes just like Jeffrey Eptein’s list.
So what are the commonalities of these school shootings? What are the widespread patterns? I read somewhere but can’t find the link anymore that a lot of the shooters had parents that were high ranking military officials. I asked AI and it said that was untrue. This situation requires a deep investigation as to the cuase before symptom. I personally would need a year to dig so this can’t be a one time show to prove what the real problem is whether it’s society as a whole or a manufactured event. I wish it were that simple. But let’s take a look at what academia says about school shootings and why they are happening. The causes of school shootings are complex and multifaceted. While there is no single definitive answer, several factors have been identified as contributing to these tragic events:   
Mental health issues: Many perpetrators have been diagnosed with mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, or psychosis.
Bullying and victimization: Experiences of bullying or social isolation can contribute to feelings of resentment and anger.   
Access to firearms: The availability of firearms, particularly in countries with lax gun control laws, can increase the likelihood of school shootings.   
Media influence: Some studies suggest that exposure to violent media, such as video games and movies, may contribute to aggressive behavior.   
Societal factors: Issues such as poverty, inequality, and a lack of support systems can also play a role in school shootings.
Mental health factors play a significant role in many school shootings. While not all perpetrators have mental health conditions, a substantial number do. Here are some of the most common mental health issues that have been identified in school shooting cases:
Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness can lead to suicidal ideation and violent behavior.
Anxiety: Excessive worry, fear, and avoidance can contribute to feelings of isolation and frustration.
Psychosis: Symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations can impair a person's judgment and perception of reality.
Personality disorders: Conditions such as antisocial personality disorder or borderline personality disorder can be associated with impulsive behavior and difficulty controlling emotions.
It's important to note that having a mental health condition does not automatically make someone a potential perpetrator. However, untreated or unmanaged mental health issues can increase the risk of violent behavior.
Bullying and victimization can be a significant factor in school shootings. Experiences of being bullied or socially isolated can contribute to feelings of resentment, anger, and hopelessness, which may lead to violent behavior.
Here are some ways in which bullying can contribute to school shootings:
Increased stress and anxiety: Victims of bullying may experience high levels of stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact their mental health.
Feelings of isolation and rejection: Being bullied can lead to feelings of social isolation and rejection, which can contribute to a sense of hopelessness and despair.
Difficulty forming relationships: Bullying can make it difficult for victims to form positive relationships with peers, which can further contribute to feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Revenge: Victims of bullying may feel a desire for revenge, which can lead to violent thoughts and actions.
Preventing bullying is essential for creating a safe and supportive school environment. Schools can implement anti-bullying programs, promote a culture of respect and inclusivity, and provide support for victims of bullying. Additionally, it's important to educate students about the harmful effects of bullying and encourage them to report incidents to school officials.
Access to firearms is a significant risk factor for school shootings. The availability of firearms, particularly in countries with lax gun control laws, can increase the likelihood of these tragic events.
Here are some ways in which access to firearms can contribute to school shootings:
Increased lethality: Firearms are highly lethal weapons, and their availability can increase the severity of violence.
Reduced barriers to violence: Having access to a firearm can lower the threshold for violence, making it more likely that individuals will resort to violence to solve problems.
Impulsive behavior: In some cases, individuals with mental health issues or a history of violence may act impulsively and use firearms to harm themselves or others.
Easy access to firearms: In countries with lax gun control laws, it can be relatively easy for individuals to obtain firearms, even those with a history of mental illness or violence.
Implementing stricter gun control measures can help reduce the availability of firearms and prevent their misuse. This can include measures such as background checks, waiting periods, and restrictions on assault-style weapons. Additionally, schools can implement security measures, such as metal detectors and active shooter training, to help deter and respond to incidents.
Keep in mind that this article is not going to argue the second amendment and the importance of it. This is about finding the cause in school shootings as it doesn’t seem to be going away even though the numbers have dropped some. 
Media influence is another factor that has been studied in relation to school shootings. While the exact nature of this influence is debated, some research suggests that exposure to violent media, such as video games and movies, may contribute to aggressive behavior.
Here are some potential ways in which media influence can contribute to school shootings:
Desensitization to violence: Exposure to violent media can desensitize individuals to violence, making them less likely to be disturbed by it.
Normalization of violence: Repeated exposure to violence in media can normalize it, making it seem like a more acceptable way to resolve conflicts.
Imitation: Some individuals may imitate violent acts seen in media, particularly if they are experiencing personal difficulties or have a history of violence.
It's important to note that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. While there may be a correlation between exposure to violent media and aggressive behavior, it's difficult to prove that media influence is the sole or primary cause of school shootings.
Additional factors, such as mental health issues, bullying, and access to firearms, also play a significant role. To prevent school shootings, it's essential to address a combination of factors, including limiting access to firearms, promoting mental health support, and addressing bullying and social isolation.
Societal factors can also play a role in school shootings. These factors can create a climate that is conducive to violence and aggression. Here are some examples:
Poverty and inequality: Economic disparities can lead to stress, frustration, and a sense of hopelessness, which may contribute to violent behavior.
Lack of support systems: Individuals who lack strong social support networks may be more likely to experience feelings of isolation and loneliness, which can increase the risk of violence.
Cultural factors: Certain cultural attitudes or beliefs that glorify violence or devalue human life may contribute to a climate of aggression.
Political polarization: A highly polarized political environment can create a climate of fear and division, which may contribute to violent behavior.
Addressing these societal factors can help create a more supportive and peaceful environment for young people. This may include:
Reducing poverty and inequality: Implementing policies to address economic disparities and create opportunities for all.
Strengthening social support networks: Promoting community involvement, volunteering, and social connections.
Promoting a culture of respect and inclusivity: Encouraging tolerance, understanding, and empathy.
Addressing political polarization: Fostering dialogue and cooperation between different groups.
By addressing these societal factors, we can create a more positive and supportive environment for young people and reduce the risk of school shootings
Addressing school shootings requires a multifaceted approach that targets multiple factors. While no single solution can guarantee complete prevention, a combination of strategies can significantly reduce the risk. Here are some key areas to focus on:
Mental Health Factors
Increased access to mental health services: Providing affordable and accessible mental health care for students, teachers, and staff.
Reduced stigma around mental health: Promoting a culture of understanding and acceptance of mental health issues.
Early intervention programs: Implementing programs to identify and support at-risk individuals before they engage in violent behavior.
Bullying and Victimization
Anti-bullying programs: Implementing comprehensive anti-bullying programs in schools to create a safe and inclusive environment.
Support for victims: Providing resources and support for students who are victims of bullying.
Educating students about the harmful effects of bullying: Promoting empathy and understanding among students.
Access to Firearms
Stricter gun control measures: Implementing stricter gun control laws, such as background checks, waiting periods, and restrictions on assault-style weapons.
Safe storage laws: Encouraging safe storage of firearms to prevent unauthorized access.
Red flag laws: Allowing authorities to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who pose a significant risk to themselves or others.
Media Influence
Media literacy education: Teaching students how to critically evaluate media content and recognize the potential negative effects of exposure to violence.
Responsible media practices: Encouraging media outlets to promote responsible content and avoid glorifying violence.
Societal Factors
Addressing poverty and inequality: Implementing policies to reduce economic disparities and provide opportunities for all.
Strengthening social support networks: Promoting community involvement, volunteering, and social connections.
Promoting a culture of respect and inclusivity: Encouraging tolerance, understanding, and empathy.
Addressing political polarization: Fostering dialogue and cooperation between different groups.
By addressing these factors, we can create a more supportive and peaceful environment for young people and reduce the risk of school shootings. It's important to note that this is a complex issue, and no single solution will be effective. A comprehensive approach that involves collaboration between schools, communities, and policymakers is essential to address the root causes of school violence.
This is academia’s response to addressing this critical issue. Have you noticed how unbias it is? Versus the memes and social media posts that point the finger politically at a party? All of the above factors to address this problem is and are absolutely reasonable and makes the most common logical sense. Not once did academia or Gemini AI say to remove the guns. Shouldn’t that give you a big clue?
There is a difference between politics and government. 
Politics is defined as:
The process of making decisions that apply to a group of people.
The science and art of government.
The activities of governments and political parties.
The struggle for power and influence within a society.
 
In essence, politics is the study and practice of government, including the processes of decision-making, leadership, and governance. It involves the interaction between individuals, groups, and institutions to shape public policy and determine the direction of a society.
 
Government is defined as:
 
The political system by which a country or state is governed.
The governing body of a nation, state, or city.
The act or process of governing.
The administration of public affairs.
 
In simpler terms, government refers to the institutions and processes that manage the affairs of a society. It is responsible for making laws, enforcing them, and providing public services to its citizens. Governments can take various forms, such as democracies, monarchies, dictatorships, and republics.
 
Although it appears that politics and government go hand in hand, that is where I differ in opinion. There should not be power, science and art in government. There should be no study or practice when it comes to law. This is where I am in full agreement with Russell-Jay: Gould. His creation of the now moment removes argument and loopholes of law. The way laws would be written would be cut and dry with no room for past or future. For example, if the law says an individual can own a gun, you cannot ask it what age. Cut and dry. This also means if the law says if you kill a person, you will be killed for it. You cannot argue their psychological upbringing etc…
 
If you want to know more about becoming soverign, and this isn’t a plug for it, check out Russell’s website at lastflagstanding.com or fortheclaimofthelife.com. Becoming a soverign helps you steer clear of legalize and allows you to stand up for your rights as a human being and not citizen. I interviewed Russell twice. I like him. I believe him. Although I do not feel the need to sign up for his classes, I do think his work is important and will be seen in the future as a man for the people and by the people. A hero.
 
Will removing guns help stop school shootings? Let’s see what academia says.
 
The relationship between gun access and school shootings is a complex and highly debated topic. While there's no single factor that can be attributed to these tragic events, many experts agree that limiting access to firearms can significantly reduce the risk of school shootings.
 
Here are some key points to consider:
 
Correlation: Numerous studies have shown a strong correlation between gun ownership rates and the frequency of mass shootings. Countries with higher gun ownership rates tend to have higher rates of gun-related deaths, including those in schools.
Reduced lethality: Removing firearms from the equation can dramatically reduce the number of casualties in school shootings. Even if an individual intends to commit violence, the availability of a firearm can significantly increase the potential for harm.
Prevention of impulsive acts: In many cases, school shooters act impulsively, and the presence of a firearm can make it easier to carry out a violent act. By limiting access to firearms, we can reduce the likelihood of impulsive acts of violence.
Addressing the root causes: While removing firearms can be a crucial step in preventing school shootings, it's important to address other factors as well, such as mental health issues, bullying, and societal factors. A comprehensive approach that targets multiple factors is essential for long-term prevention.
 
It's important to note that this is a complex issue with no easy solutions. While removing firearms can be a significant step in reducing the risk of school shootings, it's not a guaranteed solution. A comprehensive approach that addresses multiple factors, including mental health, bullying, and societal issues, is essential for long-term prevention.
 
So, academia says the numbers don’t lie. If we remove guns, the rates will drop. But let’s play devil’s advocate. What if a high number of these shootings were manufactured for this reason? It stops because the secret service or hired henchmen stop because they got what they wanted? Is this just a stupid thought or is there common sense to back up this claim?
 
I asked AI to go throughout history and show me what happens to a society when they can't defend themselves. This is what it said:
 
The Consequences of Vulnerability: Historical Examples
 
Throughout history, societies that have been unable to defend themselves have often faced a range of negative consequences, including:
 
1. Invasion and Conquest:
 
Roman Empire: During its decline, the Roman Empire became vulnerable to invasion by Germanic tribes, leading to its eventual collapse.   
Aztec Empire: The Aztecs were conquered by the Spanish conquistadors, who exploited their lack of immunity to European diseases and military technology.   
 
2. Exploitation and Colonization:
 
Native American Tribes: Many Native American tribes were exploited and colonized by European powers due to their lack of advanced weaponry and military organization.
African Nations: Many African nations were colonized by European powers, leading to centuries of exploitation, oppression, and loss of sovereignty.   
 
3. Loss of Independence and Sovereignty:
 
Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth: The Commonwealth was partitioned by Russia, Prussia, and Austria in the late 18th century due to its internal divisions and military weakness.   
Kingdom of Hawaii: The Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by American sugar planters and annexed by the United States due to its lack of military power.
 
4. Economic and Social Decline:
 
Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman Empire's decline was exacerbated by its inability to modernize its military and economy, leading to economic stagnation and social unrest.
Qing Dynasty: The Qing Dynasty's inability to resist foreign aggression and modernize its economy contributed to its eventual downfall.
 
5. Cultural Erosion and Loss of Identity:
 
Indigenous Peoples: Many indigenous peoples have suffered cultural erosion and loss of identity as a result of colonization and forced assimilation.   
Minorities: Minority groups in vulnerable societies may face discrimination, oppression, and the loss of their cultural heritage.
 
It's important to note that these are just a few examples, and the consequences of a society's inability to defend itself can vary greatly depending on the specific circumstances. Factors such as geographical location, natural resources, and internal cohesion can also play a significant role in determining a society's vulnerability.
 
Now, don’t get caught up with emotion here. If you disagree, then I respect your feelings. If society caves in and removes the right to defend themselves, then for a time, there will be less deaths. This is good right? But in the long run, it can’t be, right? Giving up your right to kill someone with a bullet to prevent them from killing you should be our right to choose?
 
And on the other hand, removing guns doesn’t stop someone from buying one illegally. If you can’t defend yourself against a criminal, then what? I can see this argument holds weight for some, but not everyone. We have entered into an emotional ethos where feelings trump data. There are millions of people in America who do not feel comfortable here because guns are legal. If they move to Haiti, they would not feel any safer as the criminals use automatic rifles and eat humans. Not all but the comparison of Haiti and America is a wide gulf. Australia and Canada removed the right defend themselves. We are witnessing more government overreach there than here in America where we still hold on to the 2nd ammendment.
 
AI couldn’t answer this simple question, are there any examples of canada and australia where government overreach occured after they removed the right to defend themselves? AI said it wouldn’t answer political questions during an election year. One example is in both countries, you can go to jail for having a different opinion of the government. This started happening in New York where the cops come to your door for something you posted online that offended someone. Could the government of Canada and Australia feel more comfortable trying this tyranny since they are not armed? Well, self defence is a crime in Canada. Could they get away with that if the Canadians had guns? It criminalizes women who defend themsewlves from rape. Something to think about. Genocide doesn’t follow immedietely. But genocide does follow.
 
But let’s take the focus towards mental health. I saw a bunch of videos of people who were homosexual in the 50’s and were being recorded as patients of mental health. How far have we come since then? But there were other people who were recorded that most definitely belonged in there. Narcisists, schizophrenics and the like. Now, they are part of society and we are told to blend in with them or you are a hater. This also borders on pedophelia where MAPS or minor attracted people want to be part of society. They require that we accept them. Not that MAPS are linked or related to school shootings. But mental health is something we have embraced as normal. We are embracing people who think they are animals and polacing kitty litter in bathrooms to make them feel more at home. But do they belong in society? Is there a line that we must draw to stop this before it goes even further? 
 
I remember when the bullying campaign came out during the Obama years. They launched The National Education Association (NEA). This I believe was on purpose. It’s a communist tactic to stop people from speaking up. It worked, too. At surface level, it seems like the right thing to do. Bullying is bad. But it was used politically to shut up opposing forces in other situations. This is when computer bots were introduced which were fake social media accounts that acted like keyboard and social justice warriors standing up to bullies online. Again, it seemed benign and the right thing to do, but it shifted society into shutting up altogether for fear of mob attacks and shaming online. DOXing became a thing where the activist posted your home address. Was the government involved? Was this DARPA? Whistleblowers have confirmed the rumor that DARPA has a social justice warrior department. They already are doing social and behavior research for national security. These bots are designed to steer public opinion using artificial intelligence. They also could be used to bully people online to conjur up an event. Is our government bullying unstable children to influence them to shoot up schools? It sounds like it to me after reading this: As it tries to grade social and behavioral research, DARPA clearly acknowledges the need to fully embrace social science. “Given the accelerating sociotechnical complexity of today’s world—a world that is increasingly connected but often poorly understood—there are growing calls to more effectively leverage Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS) to help address critical complex national security challenges in the Human Domain,” DARPA wrote in a 41-page document announcing the program in June 2018.
 
What about violent media as acadamia suggests? Do video games enable children to go kill? Acadamia doesn’t seem to think so. The Link Between Video Games and School Shootings is a Complex debate with little proof.
 
The relationship between video game violence and real-world violence, particularly school shootings, has been a subject of intense debate for decades. While some studies have suggested a correlation, the majority of research indicates a lack of causal link.
 
Key Findings from Research:
 
No Strong Causal Link: Numerous studies, including meta-analyses, have found no consistent evidence to support the claim that violent video games directly cause real-world violence.
Multiple Factors: School shootings are complex events influenced by a variety of factors, including mental health issues, social isolation, bullying, and access to firearms.   
Confounding Variables: Studies often struggle to control for confounding variables, making it difficult to isolate the specific impact of video games.
Reverse Causation: Some research suggests that individuals with violent tendencies may be more likely to play violent video games rather than the games causing violence.
 
Notable Studies:
 
American Psychological Association: The APA has issued multiple statements emphasizing the lack of strong evidence to support a causal link between violent video games and real-world violence.
Meta-Analyses: Several meta-analyses have reviewed the existing research and concluded that the evidence for a causal link is weak or nonexistent.
Longitudinal Studies: Studies that follow individuals over time have generally failed to find a strong correlation between violent video game exposure and aggressive behavior.
 
While research has not found a strong causal link, the impact of violent video games on individuals, particularly vulnerable populations, remains a complex issue that warrants further study.
 
I grew up with violent games. Played them. Even all of the Grand Theft Auto games. It doesn’t influence me to kill people and throw money at a strip club. Neither has it done that affect to all the other people I know who have played violent video games. 
 
And lastly, societal factors. Issues such as poverty, inequality, and the lack of support systems academia says play a role in school shootings.
 
Societal Factors Contributing to School Shootings: A Deep Dive
 
While the causes of school shootings are complex and multifaceted, numerous studies have identified significant societal factors that play a role in these tragic events.
 
These factors often intersect, creating a toxic environment that can lead to violence.   
 
Poverty and Inequality
 
Economic Disparity: Communities with high rates of poverty often have limited resources for schools, mental health services, and social programs. This can lead to increased stress, frustration, and a sense of hopelessness among students and their families.   
Social Isolation: Poverty can isolate individuals, limiting their access to opportunities and social support networks. This isolation can contribute to feelings of loneliness, anger, and resentment.   
 
Lack of Support Systems
 
Mental Health Resources: Inadequate access to mental health services can leave students struggling with untreated mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. These conditions can increase the risk of violent behavior.   
School Climate: A negative school climate, characterized by bullying, discrimination, and a lack of support, can contribute to feelings of alienation and despair among students.   
Community Resources: Communities with limited resources may not have the necessary support systems, such as after-school programs, youth centers, and community outreach initiatives, to provide safe and positive spaces for young people.
 
Gun Control and Access
 
Gun Availability: Easy access to firearms, particularly among individuals with mental health issues or a history of violence, can increase the risk of school shootings.   
Gun Culture: A culture that glorifies violence and promotes gun ownership can contribute to a climate where violence is seen as a viable solution to problems.   
 
Media and Culture
 
Violent Content: Exposure to excessive violence in media, such as movies, video games, and television, can desensitize individuals to violence and normalize it as a way to resolve conflicts.   
Social Media: The prevalence of social media can amplify feelings of isolation, bullying, and harassment, contributing to a toxic online environment.   
 
Other Factors
 
Bullying and Harassment: Experiencing bullying or harassment can lead to feelings of humiliation, anger, and a desire for revenge.   
School Security Measures: While school security measures can be important, an overemphasis on security can create a climate of fear and mistrust, exacerbating existing problems.
 
These factors are often interconnected and can vary significantly from case to case. Understanding the complex interplay of these factors is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies. By addressing these underlying issues, we can work towards creating safer and more supportive communities for our young people.
 
So in conclusion, we can only guess what the cause of school shooting really is. We know the government wants power and will stop at nothing for control. We have evidence of them experimenting on us. That is a fact. But we have no evidence to support the claim they are actually involved in school shootings. They are, however, a suspect and in police work, you do not take them off the board until you can prove they are not a suspect anymore. Mental health too, is a suspect. Kids without guns but have access to dangerous books on how to build home explosives could go off the deep end. So guns are not a suspect. England outlawed knives and there are still knife killings there. Bullying, although not a suspect, is an accomplice. Societal lack of needs or a toxic envirnoment is too an accomplice but not a suspect. Just because a kid grows up poor doesn’t mean they want to mow down a school.
 
I believe after narrowing down the cause before the symptom I have given a proper case to put the government and mental health up on the board as our prime suspects. They have two accomplices that most likely is aiding the government which is bullying and societal lack. When the police investigate a murder, they look for motive. The government has plenty of motive to use their technology and mind control brainwash youth to carry out these abominations for power. And those with mental health have motive because they do not have the resources available to talk to them while they are still developing. The human brain doesn’t properly develop until the age of 27 and we outlawed federal instititions. Although the government and the mental health suspects could be unrelated, as one or two may happen regardless, both the government and mental health suspects get plenty of help from their accomplices which are the bullies and societal lack. Armed with this kind of information and research, any government institution could put together an easy program to get rid of their roadblocks to control. All it takes is motive to do it. If I were the goverment and I wanted to get rid of guns so I can jail more people for hate speech, I would build an army of profile bots on all social media accounts. I would programmatically infiltrate those in school that tested for accomplices that would enable the trigger. I would bully and harrass them with my fake accounts by using their own societal lack against them as an influence to push for my objective. The AI bots would have no trouble making the victim feel alone, depressed, angry, confused and all it would take would be a trigger remark for the event to take place. Children are deeply influenced by their peers and I would also have education teacher bots that would chime in reinforcing the trigger through subtle suggestion. In my previous work, I have proved the government has done horrific things to its own people and they have been sued and lost paying reparations. To me, it’s obvious who the suspect is the majoroty of the time. Worldwide, we are watching the new world order work harder for a one world government. You can’t havce that with the United States Consitution and school shootings are most likely one of hundreds of projects designed to get rid of freedom in America because it is the last country left that can defend itself.

Who Was Helena Blavatsky?

Who Was Helena Blavatsky?
According to Wikipedia, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, often known as Madame Blavatsky, was a Russian and American mystic and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. She gained an international following as the leading theoretician of Theosophy.
Born into an aristocratic family in Yekaterinoslav, then in the Russian Empire (now Dnipro in Ukraine), Blavatsky traveled widely around the empire as a child. Largely self-educated, she developed an interest in Western esotericism during her teenage years. According to her later claims, in 1849 she embarked on a series of world travels, visiting Europe, the Americas, and India. She also claimed that during this period she encountered a group of spiritual adepts, the "Masters of the Ancient Wisdom", who sent her to Shigatse, Tibet, where they trained her to develop a deeper understanding of the synthesis of religion, philosophy, and science.
Both contemporary critics and later biographers have argued that some or all of these foreign visits were fictitious, and that she spent this period in Europe. By the early 1870s, Blavatsky was involved in the Spiritualist movement; although defending the genuine existence of Spiritualist phenomena, she argued against the mainstream Spiritualist idea that the entities contacted were the spirits of the dead. Relocating to the United States in 1873, she befriended Henry Steel Olcott and rose to public attention as a spirit medium, attention that included public accusations of fraudulence.
In 1875, New York City, Blavatsky co-founded the Theosophical Society with Olcott and William Quan Judge. In 1877, she published Isis Unveiled, a book outlining her Theosophical world-view. Associating it closely with the esoteric doctrines of Hermeticism and Neoplatonism, Blavatsky described Theosophy as "the synthesis of science, religion and philosophy", proclaiming that it was reviving an "Ancient Wisdom" which underlay all the world's religions. In 1880, she and Olcott moved to India, where the Society was allied to the Arya Samaj, a Hindu reform movement. That same year, while in Ceylon, she and Olcott became the first people from the United States to formally convert to Buddhism.[1]
Although opposed by the British colonial administration, Theosophy spread rapidly in India but experienced internal problems after Blavatsky was accused of producing fraudulent paranormal phenomena. In ailing health, in 1885 she returned to Europe, establishing the Blavatsky Lodge in London. There she published The Secret Doctrine, a commentary on what she claimed were ancient Tibetan manuscripts, as well as two further books, The Key to Theosophy and The Voice of the Silence. She died of influenza in 1891.
Blavatsky was a controversial figure during her lifetime, championed by supporters as an enlightened sage and derided as a charlatan by critics. Her Theosophical doctrines influenced the spread of Hindu and Buddhist ideas in the West as well as the development of Western esoteric currents like Ariosophy, Anthroposophy, and the New Age Movement.
Developing a reliable account of Blavatsky's life has proved difficult for biographers because in later life she deliberately provided contradictory accounts and falsifications about her own past.[2] Furthermore, very few of her own writings written before 1873 survive, meaning that biographers must rely heavily on these unreliable later accounts.[3] The accounts of her early life provided by her family members have also been considered dubious by biographers.
Blavatsky was born as Helena Petrovna Hahn von Rottenstern in the town of Yekaterinoslav, then part of the Russian Empire.[5] Her birth date was 12 August 1831, although according to the Julian calendar used in 19th-century Russia it was 31 July.[6] Immediately after her birth, she was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church.[7] At the time, Yekaterinoslav was undergoing a cholera epidemic, and her mother contracted the disease shortly after childbirth; despite the expectations of their doctor, both mother and child survived the epidemic.
Blavatsky's family was aristocratic.[9] Her mother was Helena Andreyevna Hahn von Rottenstern (Russian: Елена Андреевна Ган, 1814–1842; née Fadeyeva), a self-educated 17-year-old who was the daughter of Princess Yelena Pavlovna Dolgorukaya, a similarly self-educated aristocrat.[10] Blavatsky's father was Pyotr Alexeyevich Hahn von Rottenstern (Russian: Пётр Алексеевич Ган, 1798–1873), a descendant of the German Hahn aristocratic family, who served as a captain in the Russian Royal Horse Artillery, and would later rise to the rank of colonel.[11] Pyotr had not been present at his daughter's birth, having been in Poland fighting to suppress the November Uprising against Russian rule, and first saw her when she was six months old.[12] As well as her Russian and German ancestry, Blavatsky could also claim French heritage, for a great-great grandfather had been a French Huguenot nobleman who had fled to Russia to escape persecution, there serving in the court of Catherine the Great.[13]
As a result of Pyotr's career, the family frequently moved to different parts of the Empire, accompanied by their servants,[14] a mobile childhood that may have influenced Blavatsky's largely nomadic lifestyle in later life.[15] A year after Pyotr's arrival in Yekaterinoslav, the family relocated to the nearby army town of Romankovo.[16] When Blavatsky was two years old, her younger brother, Sasha, died in another army town when no medical help could be found.[17] In 1835, mother and daughter moved to Odessa, where Blavatsky's maternal grandfather Andrei Fadeyev, a civil administrator for the imperial authorities, had recently been posted. It was in this city that Blavatsky's sister Vera Petrovna was born.[18]
St. Petersburg, Poltava, and Saratov
After a return to rural Ukraine, Pyotr was posted to Saint Petersburg, where the family moved in 1836. Blavatsky's mother liked the city, there establishing her own literary career, penning novels under the pseudonym of "Zenaida R-va" and translating the works of the English novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton for Russian publication.[19] When Pyotr returned to Ukraine c. 1837, she remained in the city.[20] After Fadeyev was assigned to become a trustee for the Kalmyk people of Central Asia, Blavatsky and her mother accompanied him to Astrakhan, where they befriended a Kalmyk leader, Tumen.[21] The Kalmyks were practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism, and it was here that Blavatsky gained her first experience with the religion.
In 1838, Blavatsky's mother moved with her daughters to be with her husband at Poltava, where she taught Blavatsky how to play the piano and organized for her to take dance lessons.[23] As a result of her poor health, Blavatsky's mother returned to Odessa, where Blavatsky learned English from a British governess.[24] They next moved to Saratov, where a brother, Leonid, was born in June 1840.[25] The family proceeded to Poland and then back to Odessa, where Blavatsky's mother died of tuberculosis in June 1842, aged 28.[26]
The three surviving children were sent to live with their maternal grandparents in Saratov, where their grandfather Andrei had been appointed Governor of Saratov Governorate.[27] The historian Richard Davenport-Hines described the young Blavatsky as "a petted, wayward, invalid child" who was a "beguiling story-teller".[28] Accounts provided by relatives reveal that she socialized largely with lower-class children and that she enjoyed playing pranks and reading.[29] She was educated in French, art, and music, all subjects designed to enable her to find a husband.[30] With her grandparents she holidayed in Tumen's Kalmyk summer camp, where she learned horse riding and some Tibetan.[31]
She later claimed that in Saratov she discovered the personal library of her maternal great-grandfather, Prince Pavel Vasilevich Dolgorukov (d. 1838); it contained a variety of books on esoteric subjects, encouraging her burgeoning interest in it.[32] Dolgorukov had been initiated into Freemasonry in the late 1770s and had belonged to the Rite of Strict Observance; there were rumors that he had met both Alessandro Cagliostro and the Count of St. Germain.[33] She also later stated that at this time of life she began to experience visions in which she encountered a "Mysterious Indian" man, and that in later life she would meet this man in the flesh.[34] Many biographers have considered this to be the first appearance of the "Masters" in her life story.[35]
According to some of her later accounts, in 1844–45 Blavatsky was taken by her father to England, where she visited London and Bath.[36] According to this story, in London she received piano lessons from the Bohemian composer Ignaz Moscheles, and performed with Clara Schumann.[37] However, some Blavatsky biographers believe that this visit to Britain never took place, particularly as no mention of it is made in her sister's memoirs.[38] After a year spent living with her aunt, Yekaterina Andreyevna Witte,[39] mother of the future first Prime Minister of the Russian Empire, Sergei Witte, she moved to Tiflis, Georgia, where her grandfather Andrei had been appointed director of state lands in Transcaucasia.[40] Blavatsky claimed that here she established a friendship with Alexander Vladimirovich Golitsyn, a Russian Freemason and member of the Golitsyn family who encouraged her interest in esoteric matters.[41] She would also claim that at this period she had further paranormal experiences, astral traveling and again encountering her "mysterious Indian" in visions.
World travels: 1849–1869
At age 17, she agreed to marry Nikifor Vladimirovich Blavatsky, a man in his forties who worked as Vice Governor of Erivan Province. Her reasons for doing so were unclear, although she later claimed that she was attracted by his belief in magic.[44] Although she tried to back out shortly before the wedding ceremony, the marriage took place on 7 July 1849.[45] Moving with him to the Sardar Palace, she made repeated unsuccessful attempts to escape and return to her family in Tiflis, to which he eventually relented.[46] The family sent her, accompanied by a servant and maid, to Odessa to meet her father, who planned to return to Saint Petersburg with her. The escorts accompanied her to Poti and then Kerch, intending to continue with her to Odessa. Blavatsky claimed that, fleeing her escorts and bribing the captain of the ship that had taken her to Kerch, she reached Constantinople.[47] This marked the start of nine years spent traveling the world, possibly financed by her father.[48]
She did not keep a diary at the time, and was not accompanied by relatives who could verify her activities.[49] Thus, historian of esotericism Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke noted that public knowledge of these travels rests upon "her own largely uncorroborated accounts", which are marred by being "occasionally conflicting in their chronology".[50] For religious studies scholar Bruce F. Campbell, there was "no reliable account" for the next 25 years of her life.[51] According to biographer Peter Washington, at this point "myth and reality begin to merge seamlessly in Blavatsky's biography".[52]
She later claimed that in Constantinople she developed a friendship with a Hungarian opera singer named Agardi Metrovitch, whom she first encountered when saving him from being murdered.[53] It was also in Constantinople that she met the Countess Sofia Kiselyova, who she would accompany on a tour of Egypt, Greece, and Eastern Europe.[54] In Cairo, she met the American art student Albert Rawson, who later wrote extensively about the Middle East,[55] and together they allegedly visited a Coptic magician, Paulos Metamon.[56] In 1851, she proceeded to Paris, where she encountered the mesmerist, Victor Michal, who impressed her.[57] From there, she visited England, and would claim that it was here that she met the "mysterious Indian" who had appeared in her childhood visions, a Hindu whom she referred to as the Master Morya. While she provided various conflicting accounts of how they met, locating it in both London and Ramsgate according to separate stories, she maintained that he claimed that he had a special mission for her, and that she must travel to Tibet.[58]
She made her way to Asia via the Americas, heading to Canada in autumn 1851. Inspired by the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, she sought out the Native American communities of Quebec in the hope of meeting their magico-religious specialists, but was instead robbed, later attributing these Natives' behavior to the corrupting influence of Christian missionaries.[59] She then headed south, visiting New Orleans, Texas, Mexico, and the Andes, before transport via ship from the West Indies to Ceylon and then Bombay.[60] She spent two years in India, allegedly following the instructions found in letters that Morya had sent to her.[61] She attempted to enter Tibet, but was prevented from doing so by the British colonial administration.[62]
She later claimed that she then headed back to Europe by ship, surviving a shipwreck near to the Cape of Good Hope before arriving in England in 1854, where she faced hostility as a Russian citizen due to the ongoing Crimean War between Britain and Russia.[63] It was here, she claimed, that she worked as a concert musician for the Royal Philharmonic Society.[64] Sailing to the U.S., she visited New York City, where she met up with Rawson, before touring Chicago, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco, and then sailing back to India via Japan.[65] There, she spent time in Kashmir, Ladakh, and Burma, before making a second attempt to enter Tibet.[66] She claimed that this time she was successful, entering Tibet in 1856 through Kashmir, accompanied by a Tartar shaman who was attempting to reach Siberia and who thought that as a Russian citizen, Blavatsky would be able to aid him in doing so.[67] According to this account, they reached Leh before becoming lost, eventually joining a traveling Tartar group before she headed back to India.[68] She returned to Europe via Madras and Java.[69]
After spending time in France and Germany, in 1858 she returned to her family, then based in Pskov.[70] She later claimed that there she began to exhibit further paranormal abilities, with rapping and creaking accompanying her around the house and furniture moving of its own volition.[71] In 1860, she and her sister visited their maternal grandmother in Tiflis. It was there that she met up with Metrovitch, and where she reconciled with Nikifor in 1862.[72] Together they adopted a child named Yuri, who would die aged five in 1867, when he was buried under Metrovitch's surname.[73] In 1864, while riding in Mingrelia, Blavatsky fell from her horse and was in a coma for several months with a spinal fracture. Recovering in Tiflis, she claimed that upon awaking she gained full control of her paranormal abilities.[74][75] She then proceeded to Italy, Transylvania, and Serbia, possibly studying the Cabalah with a rabbi at this point.[76] In 1867, she proceeded to the Balkans, Hungary, and then Italy, where she spent time in Venice, Florence, and Mentana, claiming that in the latter she had been injured fighting for Giuseppe Garibaldi at the Battle of Mentana.[77]
She claimed to have then received a message from Morya to travel to Constantinople, where he met her, and together they traveled overland to Tibet, going through Turkey, Persia, Afghanistan, and then into India, entering Tibet via Kashmir.[78] There, they allegedly stayed in the home of Morya's friend and colleague, Master Koot Hoomi, which was near to Tashilhunpo Monastery, Shigatse. According to Blavatsky, both Morya and Koot Hoomi were Kashmiris of Punjabi origin, and it was at his home that Koot Hoomi taught students of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Koot Hoomi was described as having spent time in London and Leipzig, being fluent in both English and French, and like Morya was a vegetarian.[79]
She claimed that in Tibet, she was taught an ancient, unknown language known as Senzar, and translated a number of ancient texts written in this language that were preserved by the monks of a monastery; she stated that she was, however, not permitted entry into the monastery itself.[80] She also claimed that while in Tibet, Morya and Koot Hoomi helped her develop and control her psychic powers. Among the abilities that she ascribed to these "Masters" were clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, and the ability to control another's consciousness, to dematerialize and rematerialize physical objects, and to project their astral bodies, thus giving the appearance of being in two places at once.[81] She claimed to have remained on this spiritual retreat from late 1868 until late 1870.[82] Blavatsky never claimed in print to have visited Lhasa, although this is a claim that would be made for her in various later sources, including the account provided by her sister.[83]
Many critics and biographers have expressed doubt about the veracity of Blavatsky's claims regarding her visits to Tibet, which rely entirely on her own claims, lacking any credible independent testimony.[84] It has been highlighted that during the nineteenth century, Tibet was closed to Europeans, and visitors faced the perils of bandits and a harsh terrain; the latter would have been even more problematic if Blavatsky had been as stout and unathletic as she would be in later life.[85] However, as several biographers have noted, traders and pilgrims from neighboring lands were able to access Tibet freely, suggesting the possibility that she would have been allowed to enter accompanied by Morya, particularly if she had been mistaken for an Asian.[86] Blavatsky's eyewitness account of Shigatse was unprecedented in the West,[82] and one scholar of Buddhism, D. T. Suzuki, suggested that she later exhibited an advanced knowledge of Mahayana Buddhism consistent with her having studied in a Tibetan monastery.[87] Lachman noted that had Blavatsky spent time in Tibet, then she would be "one of the greatest travelers of the nineteenth century",[88] although he added – "in all honesty I do not know" if Blavatsky spent time in Tibet or not.[89] Biographer Marion Meade commented on Blavatsky's tales of Tibet and various other adventures by stating that "hardly a word of this appears to be true"
Embracing Spiritualism and establishing Theosophy: 1870–1878
Arriving in New York City
Blavatsky alleged that she departed Tibet with the mission of proving to the world that the phenomena identified by Spiritualists were objectively real, thus defending Spiritualism against accusations of fraud. However, she also stated that the entities being contacted by Spiritualist mediums were not the spirits of the dead, as the Spiritualist movement typically alleged, but instead either mischievous elementals or the "shells" left behind by the deceased.[91] She proceeded via the Suez Canal to Greece, where she met with another of the Masters, Master Hilarion.[92] She set sail for Egypt aboard the SS Eunomia, but in July 1871 it exploded during the journey; Blavatsky was one of only 16 survivors.[93] Reaching Cairo, she met up with Metamon, and with the help of a woman named Emma Cutting established a société spirite, which was based largely on Spiritism, a form of Spiritualism founded by Allan Kardec which professed a belief in reincarnation, in contrast to the mainstream Spiritualist movement.[94] However, Blavatsky believed that Cutting and many of the mediums employed by the society were fraudulent, and she closed it down after two weeks.[95] In Cairo, she also met with the Egyptologist Gaston Maspero, and another of the Masters, Serapis Bey.[96] It was also here that she met up with Metrovitch, although he soon died of typhoid, with Blavatsky claiming to have overseen the funeral.[97]
Leaving Egypt, she proceeded to Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon, there encountering members of the Druze religion.[98] It was during these travels that she met with the writer and traveler Lidia Pashkova, who provided independent verification of Blavatsky's travels during this period.[99] In July 1872 she returned to her family in Odessa, before departing in April 1873.[100] She spent time in Bucharest and Paris,[101] before – according to her later claims – Morya instructed her to go to the United States. Blavatsky arrived in New York City on 8 July 1873.[102][103] There, she moved into a women's housing cooperative on Madison Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, earning a wage through piece work sewing and designing advertising cards.[104] It was here that she attracted attention, and was interviewed by the journalist Anna Ballard of the New York newspaper The Sun; this interview was the earliest textual source in which Blavatsky claimed to have spent time in Tibet.[105] Indeed, it was while in New York that "detailed records" of Blavatsky's life again become available to historians.[106] Soon after, Blavatsky received news of her father's death, thus inheriting a considerable fortune, allowing her to move into a lavish hotel.[107] In December 1874, Blavatsky met the Georgian Mikheil Betaneli. Infatuated with her, he repeatedly requested that they marry, to which she ultimately relented; this constituted bigamy, as her first husband was still alive. However, as she refused to consummate the marriage, Betaneli sued for divorce and returned to Georgia.
 
Meeting Henry Steel Olcott and the foundation of the Theosophical Society
 
Blavatsky was intrigued by a news story about William and Horatio Eddy, brothers based in Chittenden, Vermont, who it was claimed could levitate and manifest spiritual phenomena. She visited Chittenden in October 1874, there meeting the reporter Henry Steel Olcott, who was investigating the brothers' claims for the Daily Graphic.[109] Claiming that Blavatsky impressed him with her own ability to manifest spirit phenomena, Olcott authored a newspaper article on her.[110][111][112] They soon became close friends, giving each other the nicknames of "Maloney" (Olcott) and "Jack" (Blavatsky).[113] He helped attract greater attention to Blavatsky's claims, encouraging the Daily Graphics editor to publish an interview with her,[114][115] and discussing her in his book on Spiritualism, People from the Other World (1875),[116] which her Russian correspondent Alexandr Aksakov urged her to translate into Russian.[117] She began to instruct Olcott in her own occult beliefs, and encouraged by her he became celibate, tee-totaling, and vegetarian, although she herself was unable to commit to the latter.[118] In January 1875 the duo visited the Spiritualist mediums Nelson and Jennie Owen in Philadelphia; the Owens asked Olcott to test them to prove that the phenomena that they produced were not fraudulent, and while Olcott believed them, Blavatsky opined that they faked some of their phenomena in those instances when genuine phenomena failed to manifest.[119]
 
Drumming up interest for their ideas, Blavatsky and Olcott published a circular letter in Eldridge Gerry Brown's Boston-based Spiritualist publication, The Spiritual Scientist.[120] There, they named themselves the "Brotherhood of Luxor", a name potentially inspired by the pre-existing Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor.[121] They began living together in a series of rented apartments in New York City, which they decorated with taxidermied animals and images of spiritual figures; their life was funded largely by Olcott's continued work as a lawyer.[122] Their last such apartment came to be known as the Lamasery.[123] Allegedly encouraged by the Masters, Blavatsky and Olcott established the Miracle Club, through which they facilitated lectures on esoteric themes in New York City.[124] It was through this group that they met an Irish Spiritualist, William Quan Judge, who shared many of their interests.[125]
 
At a Miracle Club meeting on 7 September 1875, Blavatsky, Olcott, and Judge agreed to establish an esoteric organization, with Charles Sotheran suggesting that they call it the Theosophical Society.[126] The term theosophy came from the Greek theos ("god(s)") and sophia ("wisdom"), thus meaning "god-wisdom" or "divine wisdom".[127] The term was not new, but had been previously used in various contexts by the Philaletheians and the Christian mystic, Jakob Böhme.[128] Theosophists would often argue over how to define Theosophy, with Judge expressing the view that the task was impossible.[127] Blavatsky however insisted that Theosophy was not a religion in itself.[129] Lachman has described the movement as "a very wide umbrella, under which quite a few things could find a place".[130] On foundation, Olcott was appointed chairman, with Judge as secretary, and Blavatsky as corresponding secretary, although she remained the group's primary theoretician and leading figure.[131] Prominent early members included Emma Hardinge Britten, Signor Bruzzesi, C.C. Massey, and William L. Alden; many were prominent and successful members of the establishment, although not all would remain members for long
 
Isis Unveiled
 
In 1875, Blavatsky began work on a book outlining her Theosophical worldview, much of which would be written during a stay in the Ithaca home of Hiram Corson, a Professor of English Literature at Cornell University. Although she had hoped to call it The Veil of Isis, it would be published as Isis Unveiled.[134] While writing it, Blavatsky claimed to be aware of a second consciousness within her body, referring to it as "the lodger who is in me", and stating that it was this second consciousness that inspired much of the writing.[135] In Isis Unveiled, Blavatsky quoted extensively from other esoteric and religious texts, although her contemporary and colleague Olcott always maintained that she had quoted from books that she did not have access to.[136] Writing more than a century after her death Lachman conjectured that if this had been the case, then she had had an eidetic memory,[137] such that, while relying on earlier sources, the book represented an original synthesis that connected disparate ideas not brought together before.[138]
 
Revolving around Blavatsky's idea that all the world's religions stemmed from a single "Ancient Wisdom", which she connected to the Western esotericism of ancient Hermeticism and Neoplatonism,[139] it also articulated her thoughts on Spiritualism,[140] and provided a criticism of Darwinian evolution, stating that it dealt only with the physical world and ignored the spiritual realms.[141] The book was edited by Professor of Philosophy Alexander Wilder and published in two volumes by J.W. Bouton in 1877.[142] Although facing negative mainstream press reviews, including from those who highlighted that it extensively quoted around 100 other books without acknowledgement,[143] it proved to be such a commercial success, with its initial print run of 1,000 copies selling out in a week,[144] that the publisher requested a sequel, although Blavatsky turned down the offer.[138] While Isis Unveiled was a success, the Society remained largely inactive,[145] having fallen into this state in autumn 1876.[146] This was despite the fact that new lodges of the organization had been established throughout the U.S. and in London, and prominent figures like Thomas Edison and Abner Doubleday had joined.[147] In July 1878, Blavatsky gained U.S. citizenship.
 
India: 1879–1885
 
The Theosophical Society established links with an Indian Hindu reform movement, the Arya Samaj, which had been founded by the Swami Dayananda Saraswati; Blavatsky and Olcott believed that the two organizations shared a common spiritual world-view.[149] Unhappy with life in the U.S., Blavatsky decided to move to India, with Olcott agreeing to join her, securing work as a U.S. trade representative to the country.[150] In December, the duo auctioned off many of their possessions, although Edison gifted them a phonograph to take with them to India.[151] They left New York City aboard the Canada, which took them to London. After meeting with well-wishers in the capital, they traveled to Liverpool, there setting sail aboard the Speke Hall, arriving in Bombay in February 1879.[152] In the city, they were greeted with celebrations organized by Arya Samaj member Hurrychund Chintamon before obtaining a house in Girgaum Road, part of Bombay's native area.[153]
 
Associating largely with Indians rather than the governing British elite, Blavatsky took a fifteen-year-old Gujarati boy, Vallah "Babula" Bulla, as her personal servant.[154] Many educated Indians were impressed with the Theosophists championing of Indian religions, coming about during a period "of [India's] growing self-assertion against the values and beliefs" of the British Empire.[155] Her activity in the city was monitored by British intelligence services, who suspected that she was working for Russia.[156] In April, Blavatsky took Olcott, Babula, and their friend Moolji Thackersey to the Karla Caves, announcing that they contained secret passages that led to an underground place where the Masters assembled.[157] Then claiming that the Masters were telepathically commanding her to head to Rajputana in the Punjab, she and Olcott headed north.[158] At the Yamuna river, they met the sannyasin Babu Surdass, who had sat in the lotus position for 52 years, and in Agra saw the Taj Mahal.[159] In Saharanpur they met with Dayananda and his Arya Samajists, before returning to Bombay.
 
In July 1879, Blavatsky and Olcott began work on a monthly magazine, The Theosophist, with the first issue coming out in October.[161] The magazine soon obtained a large readership, with the management being taken over by Damodar K. Mavalankar, a Theosophist who introduced the idea of referring to the Masters as mahatmas.[162] In December, Blavatsky and Olcott traveled to Allahabad, there visiting Alfred Percy Sinnett, the editor of The Pioneer and keen Spiritualist. A.O. Hume was also a guest at the Sinnett's home, and Blavatsky was encouraged to manifest paranormal phenomena in their presence.[163] From there, they traveled to Benares, where they stayed at the palace of the Maharaja of Vizianagram.[164] Blavatsky and Olcott were then invited to Ceylon by Buddhist monks. There they officially converted to Buddhism – apparently the first from the United States to do so.[1] – taking the Five Precepts in a ceremony at Ramayana Nikayana in May 1880.[165] Touring the island, they were met by crowds intrigued by these unusual Westerners who embraced Buddhism rather than proselytizing Christianity. Their message proved a boost to Sinhalese nationalist self-esteem, and they were invited to see the Buddha's Tooth in Kandy.[166]
 
Upon learning that old comrade Emma Coulomb (née Cutting) and her husband had fallen into poverty in Ceylon, Blavatsky invited them to move into her home in Bombay.[167] However, the Coulombs annoyed Rosa Bates and Edward Winbridge, two American Theosophists who were also living with Blavatsky; when Blavatsky took the side of the Coulombs, Bates and Winbridge returned to the U.S.[168] Blavatsky was then invited to Simla to spend more time with Sinnett, and there performed a range of materializations that astounded the other guests; in one instance, she allegedly made a cup-and-saucer materialize under the soil during a picnic.[169] Sinnett was eager to contact the Masters himself, convincing Blavatsky to facilitate this communication, resulting in the production of over 1400 pages allegedly authored by Koot Hoomi and Morya, which came to be known as the Mahatma Letters.[170] Sinnett summarised the teachings contained in these letters in his book Esoteric Buddhism (1883), although scholars of Buddhism like Max Müller publicly highlighted that the contents were not Buddhist, and Blavatsky herself disliked the misleading title.[171] Since the book's publication, there has been much debate as to the authenticity of the letters, with some arguing that they were written by Blavatsky herself, and others believing that they were written by separate individuals.[172][173] According to Meade, "there can be no reasonable doubt that Helena was their author".[174]
 
Theosophy was unpopular with both Christian missionaries and the British colonial administration,[175] with India's English-language press being almost uniformly negative toward the Society.[176] The group nevertheless proved popular, and branches were established across the country.[177] While Blavatsky had emphasized its growth among the native Indian population rather than among the British elite, she moved into a comfortable bungalow in the elite Bombay suburb of Breach Candy, which she said was more accessible to Western visitors.[178] Olcott had decided to establish the Buddhist Education Fund to combat the spread of the Christian faith in Ceylon and encourage pride and interest in Buddhism among the island's Sinhalese population. Although Blavatsky initially opposed the idea, stating that the Masters would not approve, Olcott's project proved a success, and she changed her opinion about it.
 
Blavatsky had been diagnosed with Bright's disease and hoping the weather to be more conducive to her condition she took up the offer of the Society's Madras Branch to move to their city.[180] However, in November 1882 the Society purchased an estate in Adyar, which became their permanent headquarters; a few rooms were set aside for Blavatsky, who moved into them in December.[181] She continued to tour the subcontinent, claiming that she then spent time in Sikkim and Tibet, where she visited her teacher's ashram for several days.[182] With her health deteriorating, she agreed to accompany Olcott on his trip to Britain, where he was planning to argue the case for Ceylonese Buddhism and sort out problems with the Society's London Lodge.[183][184]
 
Sailing to Marseilles, France, in March 1883, she spent time in Nice with the founder of the Theosophical Society's French branch, the Countess of Caithness (widow of James Sinclair, 14th Earl of Caithness), with whom she continued to Paris.[185][186] In London, she appeared at the lodge's meeting, where she sought to quell arguments between Sinnett on the one hand and Anna Kingsford and Edward Maitland on the other.[187] Unsatisfied, Kingsford – whom Blavatsky thought "an unbearable snobbish woman" – split from the Theosophical Society to form the Hermetic Society.[188] In London, Blavatsky made contact with the Society for Psychical Research (SPR) through Frederic W. H. Myers. She complied with their request to undertake a study of her and the paranormal abilities that she claimed to possess, although wasn't impressed by the organization and mockingly referred to it as the "Spookical Research Society".[189]
 
With Blavatsky in Europe, trouble broke out at the society's Adyar headquarters in what became known as the Coulomb Affair. The society's Board of Control had accused Emma Coulomb of misappropriating their funds for her own purposes, and asked her to leave their center. She and her husband refused, blackmailing the society with letters that they claimed were written by Blavatsky and which proved that her paranormal abilities were fraudulent. The society refused to pay them and expelled them from their premises, at which the couple turned to the Madras-based Christian College Magazine, who published an exposé of Blavatsky's alleged fraudulence using the Coulombs' claims as a basis. The story attracted international attention and was picked up by London-based newspaper, The Times.[190] In response, in November 1884 Blavatsky headed to Cairo, where she and Theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater searched for negative information on Emma Coulomb, discovering stories of her alleged former history of extortion and criminality.[191][192] Internally, the Society was greatly damaged by the Coulomb Affair,[193] although it remained popular in India, as did Blavatsky herself.[194]
 
Final years in Europe: 1885–1891
 
Worsening health led Blavatsky to contemplate a return to the milder climate of Europe, and resigning her position as corresponding secretary of the society, she left India in March 1885.[195] By 1885, the Theosophical Society had experienced rapid growth, with 121 lodges having been chartered across the world, 106 of which were located in India, Burma, and Ceylon.[196] Initially, each lodge was chartered directly from the Adyar headquarters, with members making democratic decisions by vote.[196] However, over the coming years the lodges were organized into national units with their own ruling councils, resulting in tensions between the different levels of administration.[196]
 
Settling in Naples, Italy, in April 1885, she began living off of a small Society pension and continued working on her next book, The Secret Doctrine.[197] She then moved to Würzburg in the Kingdom of Bavaria, where she was visited by a Swedish Theosophist, the Countess Constance Wachtmeister, who became her constant companion throughout the rest of her life.[198] In December 1885, the SPR published their report on Blavatsky and her alleged phenomena, authored by Richard Hodgson. In his report, Hodgson accused Blavatsky of being a spy for the Russian government, further accusing her of faking paranormal phenomena, largely on the basis of the Coulomb's claims.[199] The report caused much tension within the Society, with a number of Blavatsky's followers – among them Babaji and Subba Row – denouncing her and resigning from the organization on the basis of it.[200]
 
Blavatsky wanted to sue her accusers, although Olcott advised against it, believing that the surrounding publicity would damage the Society.[202] In private letters, Blavatsky expressed relief that the criticism was focused on her and that the identity of the Masters had not been publicly exposed.[203] For decades after, Theosophists criticized Hodgson's methodology, arguing that he set out to disprove and attack Blavatsky rather than conduct an unbiased analysis of her claims and abilities. In 1986 the SPR admitted this to be the case and retracted the findings of the report.[204][205] However, Johnson has commented "Theosophists have overinterpreted this as complete vindication, when in fact many questions raised by Hodgson remain unanswered."[206]
 
In 1886, by which time she was using a wheelchair, Blavatsky moved to Ostend in Belgium, where she was visited by Theosophists from across Europe.[207] Among them was the doctor William Ashton Ellis, who treated her during a near-fatal illness in March 1887; Blavatsky credited him with saving her life.[208] Supplementing her pension, she established a small ink-producing business.[209] She received messages from members of the Society's London Lodge who were dissatisfied with Sinnett's running of it; they believed that he was focusing on attaining upper-class support rather than encouraging the promotion of Theosophy throughout society, a criticism Blavatsky agreed with.[210] She arrived in London in May 1887, initially staying in the Upper Norwood home of Theosophist Mabel Collins.[211] In September, she moved into the Holland Park home of fellow Theosophists, Bertram Keightley and his nephew Archibald Keightley.[212]
 
In London, she established the Blavatsky Lodge as a rival to that run by Sinnett, draining much of its membership.[213] Lodge meetings were held at the Keightleys' house on Thursday nights, with Blavatsky also greeting many visitors there, among them the occultist and poet W. B. Yeats.[214] In November 1889 she was visited by the Indian lawyer Mohandas Gandhi, who was studying the Bhagavad Gita with the Knightleys. He became an associate member of Blavatsky's Lodge in March 1891, and would emphasize the close connection between Theosophy and Hinduism throughout his life.[215] In 1888, Blavatsky established the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society, a group under her complete control for which admittance was restricted to those who had passed certain tests. She identified it as a place for "true Theosophists" who would focus on the system's philosophy rather than experiment with producing paranormal phenomena.[216]
 
Publishing
 
In London, Blavatsky founded a magazine, controversially titling it Lucifer; in this Theosophical publication she sought to completely ignore claims regarding paranormal phenomena, and focus instead on a discussion of philosophical ideas.[217] Blavatsky also finished writing The Secret Doctrine, which was then edited by the Keightleys.[218] As a commercial publisher willing to publish the approximately 1,500-page work could not be found, Blavatsky established the Theosophical Publishing Company, who brought out the work in two volumes, the first published in October 1888 and the second in January 1889.[219] Blavatsky claimed that the book constituted her commentary on the Book of Dzyan, a religious text written in Senzar which she had been taught while studying in Tibet.[220] Buddhologist David Reigle claimed that he identified Books of Kiu-te, including Blavatsky's Book of Dzyan as a first volume, as the Tantra section of the Tibetan Buddhist canon.[221] However, most scholars of Buddhism to have examined The Secret Doctrine have concluded that there was no such text as the Book of Dzyan, and that instead it was the fictional creation of Blavatsky's.[222] In the book, Blavatsky outlined her own cosmogonical ideas about how the universe, the planets, and the human species came to exist. She also discussed her views about the human being and their soul, thus dealing with issues surrounding an afterlife.[223]
 
Annie Besant
 
The two-volume book was reviewed for the Pall Mall Gazette by the social reformer Annie Besant; impressed by it, Besant met with Blavatsky and joined the Theosophists.[224] In August 1890, Blavatsky moved in to Besant's large house at 19 Avenue Road in St. John's Wood.[225]
 
She appointed Besant to be the new head of the Blavatsky Lodge,[226] and in July 1890 inaugurated the new European headquarters of the Theosophical Society in Besant's house.[227] There, she authored a book containing questions and corresponding answers, The Key to Theosophy.[228] This was followed by The Voice of the Silence, a short devotional text which she claimed was based on a Senzar text known as The Book of the Golden Precepts. As with The Secret Doctrine, most scholars of Buddhism have doubted that this latter text was an authentic Tibetan Buddhist document.[229] She continued to face accusations of fraud; U.S. newspaper The Sun published a July 1890 article based on information provided by an ex-member of the Society, Elliott Coues. Blavatsky sued the newspaper for libel, and they publicly retracted their accusations in September 1892.
 
That winter, Britain had been afflicted by an influenza epidemic (the global 1889–1890 flu pandemic), with Blavatsky contracting the virus. It led to her death on the afternoon of 8 May 1891, in Besant's house.[231] The date would come to be commemorated by Theosophists ever since as White Lotus Day.[232] Her body was cremated at Woking Crematorium on 11 May.[233]Meade referred to her as "an eccentric who abided by no rules except her own",[246] someone who had "utter disregard for the Victorian code of morality".[247] Meade believed that Blavatsky perceived herself as a messianic figure whose purpose was to save the world by promoting Theosophy.[246] Lachman stated that Blavatsky exhibited what he referred to as "Russian traits – an intense devotion to spiritual truth, combined with a profound contradictory character."[248] Washington expressed the view that she was "a persuasive story-teller [with the] power to fascinate others" although noted that she was also "self-absorbed and egotistical".[249] For Meade, Blavatsky had a "vivid imagination" and a "propensity for lying".[250] Godwin noted that Blavatsky had "a fearsome temper".[245] The religious studies scholar Bruce F. Campbell noted that she had been a "strong-willed, independent child", and that the harsh environment of her childhood might have resulted in her "difficulty in controlling her temper and ... her tendency to swear".[251] In his opinion, she represented "an archetypal charismatic leader".[252] Anthropologist Leo Klejn claimed that Blavatsky's indefatigability and energy were surprising.[253] The Indologist Alexander Senkevich stated that Blavatsky's charisma exerted influence on Charles Massey and Stainton Moses.[254]
 
Blavatsky's sexuality has been an issue of dispute; many biographers believed that she remained celibate throughout her life,[255] with Washington believing that she "hated sex with her own sort of passion".[256] In later life she stated that she was a virgin, although she had been married to two men during her lifetime.[246] Throughout its early years, the Theosophical Society promoted celibacy, even within marriage.[257] Some have suggested that she may have been a lesbian or transvestite, due to early accounts in which she traveled while dressed in masculine attire.[258] Meade thought that Blavatsky had, with a few exceptions, been "contemptuous" of other women, suggesting that while this may have been the result of general societal misogyny, it may have reflected that Blavatsky had been jilted by another woman.[236]
 
Socio-political beliefs
 
Godwin suggested that Blavatsky's life work was "not only spiritual but socially idealistic and fiercely political".[259] He suggested that her "emotional fuel" was partly "a hatred of oppression", which Godwin claimed was either through the intellectual domination of Christianity or British colonial rule in India.[259] Conversely, Meade thought Blavatsky to be "basically a non-political person".[260]
 
Blavatsky's social and political beliefs, like much else in her life, are not always consistent, though reflect what she felt she could reveal of a larger vision. That was, more than anything else, the vision of the succession of root races. These races were a flexible category, cultural as well as physiological, with races often combining in the course of history. Moreover, inspired by recent acrimonious debates over evolution, they are also dynamic, emergent forces. Gary Lachman wrote, "Although few historians have noted it, in Isis Unveiled (1877), Blavatsky presented the first major intellectual – not religious – criticism of evolution." {Lachman 2012, 159–60} Blavatsky held that Darwinism explained human physical evolution, while spirituality followed another developmental pattern.[citation needed]
 
The scholar of religion Olav Hammer noted that "on rare occasions" Blavatsky's writings are "overtly racist",[261] adding that her antisemitism "derives from the unfortunate position of Judaism as the origin of Christianity" and refers to "the intense dislike she felt for Christianity".[261]
 
The biographer Peter Washington described Blavatsky as "a short, stout, forceful woman, with strong arms, several chins, unruly hair, a determined mouth, and large, liquid, slightly bulging eyes".[235] She had distinctive azure-colored eyes,[236] and was overweight throughout her life.[237] According to the biographer Marion Meade, Blavatsky's "general appearance was outrageously untidy".[238] In later life, she was known for wearing loose robes, and wore many rings on her fingers.[234] She was a heavy cigarette smoker throughout her life,[239] and was known for smoking hashish at times.[240] She lived simply and her followers believed that she refused to accept monetary payment in return for disseminating her teachings.[241] Blavatsky preferred to be known by the initialism "HPB",[242] a sobriquet applied to her by many of her friends which was first developed by Olcott.[243] She avoided social functions and was scornful of social obligations.[244] She spoke Russian, Georgian, English, French, Italian, Arabic, and Sanskrit.[245]
 
Theories and doctrines
 
According to Meade, Blavatsky assembled her theories and doctrines gradually, in a piecemeal fashion.[262] Blavatsky claimed that these Theosophical doctrines were not her own invention, but had been received from a brotherhood of secretive spiritual adepts whom she referred to as the "Masters" or "Mahatmas".[263]
 
Theosophy, the Masters, and the "Ancient Wisdom"
 
Blavatsky was the leading theoretician of the Theosophical Society,[264] responsible for establishing its "doctrinal basis".[265] The ideas expounded in her published texts provide the basis from which the Society and wider Theosophical movement emerged.[266] Blavatsky's Theosophical ideas were a form of occultism.[267] She subscribed to the anti-Christian current of thought within Western esotericism which emphasized the idea of an ancient and universal "occult science" that should be revived.[268] Blavatsky stated that the Theosophical teachings were passed on to her by adepts, who lived in various parts of the world.[241]
 
Fundamentally, the underlying concept behind Blavatsky's Theosophy was that there was an "ancient wisdom religion" which had once been found across the world, and which was known to various ancient figures, such as the Greek philosopher Plato and the ancient Hindu sages.[269] Blavatsky connected this ancient wisdom religion to Hermetic philosophy, a worldview in which everything in the universe is identified as an emanation from a Godhead.[270] Blavatsky believed that all of the world's religions developed from this original global faith.[270] Blavatsky understood her Theosophy to be the heir to the Neoplatonist philosophers of Late Antiquity, who had also embraced Hermetic philosophy.[271] Blavatsky claimed that due to Christianization in Europe, this magical tradition was lost there, but it persisted in modified form in India and Africa, promoting a self-consciously magical disenchantment narrative.[272] In turn, Blavatsky believed that the Theosophical movement's revival of the "ancient wisdom religion" would lead to it spreading across the world, eclipsing the established world religions.[270] Thus, in bringing these Theosophical ideas to humanity, Blavatsky viewed herself as a messianic figure.[246]
 
According to Goodrick-Clarke, the Theosophical Society "disseminated an elaborate philosophical edifice involving a cosmogony, the macrocosm of the universe, spiritual hierarchies, and intermediary beings, the latter having correspondences with a hierarchical conception of the microcosm of man."[273] Officially, the Society-based itself upon the following three objectives:
 
To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color.
To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and Science.
 
To investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man.[274]
 
Washington believed that the purpose of these three precepts was to lead to the "discovery of the powers latent in man through the occult study of science, philosophy and religion [which] shall be the preferred route to the social harmony and equality which will prefigure – and perhaps become – the divine harmony."[275]
 
While living in New York City, Blavatsky had referred to herself as a "Buddhist",[276] although officially embraced Buddhism only while in Ceylon.[277] However, Lachman stated that her Buddhism was "highly eccentric and had little to do with the Buddhism of scholars like [Max] Müller or that of your average Buddhist".[171] Blavatsky argued that The Buddha had sought to return to the teachings of the Vedas, and that Buddhism therefore represented a more accurate survival of ancient Brahmanism than modern Hinduism.[278] Although critical of Catholicism and Protestantism, and opposing their growth in Asia, throughout her life she remained highly sympathetic to the Russian Orthodox Church, commenting that "with the faith of the Russian Church I will not even compare Buddhism".[279]
 
G. R. S. Mead proclaimed, "Two things in all the chaos of her [Blavatsky's] cosmos stood firm in every mood – that her Teachers existed and that she had not cheated."[280]
 
Theology, cosmogony, and the place of humanity
 
Blavatsky expounded what has been described as a "monotheistic, immanentist, and mystical cosmology".[282] Blavatsky was a pantheist,[283] and emphasized the idea of an impersonal divinity, referring to the Theosophical God as a "universal Divine Principle, the root of All, from which all proceeds, and within which all shall be absorbed at the end of the great cycle of being".[265] She was dismissive of the Christian idea of God in the Western world, describing it as "a bundle of contradictions and a logical impossibility."[265] She stated that the universe emanated from this Divine Principle, with each particle of matter being infused with a spark of the divine.[284] Lower Orders emanated from higher ones, before becoming increasingly dense and being absorbed back into the Divine Principle.[284] This cosmology exhibited commonalities with the scientific discoveries of geology and biological evolution, both of which had been revealed by scientific inquiry during the 19th century.[284]
 
In The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky articulated the belief that in the beginning of time there was absolute nothingness. This primordial essence then separated itself into seven Rays, which were also intelligent beings known as the Dhyan Chohans; these Seven Rays then created the universe using an energy called Fohat.[285][286] The Earth was created and underwent seven Rounds, in each of which different living beings were created.[285]
 
Blavatsky advocated the idea of "Root Races", each of which was divided into seven Sub-Races.[287] In Blavatsky's cosmogony, the first Root Race were created from pure spirit and lived on a continent known as the "Imperishable Sacred Land".[285][288] The second Root Race, known as the Hyperboreans, were also formed from pure spirit and lived on a land near to the North Pole, which then had a mild climate.[285] The third lived on the continent of Lemuria, which Blavatsky alleged survives today as Australia and Rapa Nui.[289][290] Blavatsky alleged that during the fourth Round of the Earth, higher beings descended to the planet, with the beginnings of human physical bodies developing and the sexes separating.[287] At this point, the fourth Root Race appeared, living on the continent of Atlantis; they had physical bodies but also psychic powers and advanced technology.[291] She claimed that some Atlanteans were giants and built such ancient monuments as Stonehenge in southern England and that they also mated with "she-animals", resulting in the creation of gorillas and chimpanzees.[287] The Atlanteans were decadent and abused their power and knowledge, so Atlantis sunk into the sea, although various Atlanteans escaped and created new societies in Egypt and the Americas.[287]
 
The fifth Root Race to emerge was the Aryans and was found across the world at the time she was writing.[287][292] She believed that the fifth Race would come to be replaced by the sixth, which would be heralded by the arrival of Maitreya, a figure from Mahayana Buddhist mythology.[293] She further believed that humanity would eventually develop into the final, seventh Root Race.[287][294] Lachman suggested that by reading Blavatsky's cosmogonical claims as a literal account of history, "we may be doing it a disservice."[287] He instead suggested that it could be read as Blavatsky's attempt to formulate "a new myth for the modern age, or as a huge, fantastic science fiction story".[287]
 
Blavatsky taught that humans composed of three separate parts: a divine spark, an astral fluid body, and the physical body.[295] Later Blavatsky proclaimed the septenary of Man and Universe.[296] According to Blavatsky, man is composed of seven parts: Atma, Buddhi, Manas, Kama rupa, Linga sharira, Prana, and Sthula sharira.[296] In Isis Unveiled, Blavatsky denied that humans would be reincarnated back on the Earth after physical death.[297] However, by the time that she had authored The Secret Doctrine, she had changed her opinion on this issue, likely influenced by her time in India.[298] Here, she stated that the law of reincarnation was governed by karma, with humanity's final purpose being the emancipation of the soul from the cycle of death and rebirth.[299] She believed that knowledge of karma would ensure that human beings lived according to moral principles, arguing that it provided a far greater basis for moral action than that of the Christian doctrine.[300] Blavatsky wrote, in Isis Unveiled, that Spiritualism "alone offers a possible last refuge of compromise between" the "revealed religions and materialistic philosophies". While she acknowledged that fanatic believers "remained blind to its imperfections", she wrote that such a fact was "no excuse to doubt its reality" and asserted that Spiritualist fanaticism was "itself a proof of the genuineness and possibility of their phenomena".[301]
 
Goodrick-Clarke noted that Blavatsky's cosmology contained all four of the prime characteristics of Western esotericism that had been identified by the scholar Antoine Faivre: "(a) correspondences between all parts of the universe, the macrocosm and microcosm; (b) living nature as a complex, plural, hierarchical, and animate whole; (c) imagination and mediations in the form of intermediary spirits, symbols, and mandalas; and (d) the experience of transmutation of the soul through purification and ascent."[302]
 
Controversy
 
Blavatsky was (and is) a controversial figure. Blavatsky's devotees often try to attribute the criticism that she has sustained to the fact that she attacked the vested interests of both the Christian establishment and the material scientific skeptics rather than as a reaction to her alleged frauds and impostures. Thus, all critics of her are deflected by her believers (who say that "the slanders on her reputation are the signs of grace: the stigmata that all great martyrs must bear").[304]
 
Various authors, including William Emmette Coleman and others, have questioned the authenticity of her writings by citing evidence that they are heavily plagiarized from older esoteric sources,[305][306][307][308] pronouncing her claim of the existence of masters of wisdom to be utterly false, and accusing her of being a charlatan, false medium, and falsifier of letters.[309][310] Eastern literature scholar Arthur Lillie published a list of extracts from mystic works next to extracts from Blavatsky's writings purporting to show her extensive plagiarism in his book Madame Blavatsky and her Theosophy. Lillie also analyzed the Mahatma letters and asserted, based on peculiarities of expression and spelling, that they had been written by Blavatsky.[311][173]
 
The Traditionalist School writer René Guénon wrote a detailed critique of Theosophy in which he claimed that Blavatsky had acquired all her knowledge naturally from other books rather than supernatural so-called "masters."[305] Carl Jung virulently criticized her work, and Agehananda Bharati dismissed it as "a melee of horrendous hogwash and of fertile inventions of inane esoterica". Mircea Eliade suggested that her theory of spiritual evolution contradicts the entire spirit of Eastern tradition, which is "precisely an anti-evolutionist conception of the spiritual life".[312] After her death, Blavatsky continued to be accused of having fraudulently produced paranormal phenomena by skeptics such as John Nevil Maskelyne,[313] Robert Todd Carroll,[314] and James Randi.[315]
 
Influence
 
According to religious studies scholar Mark Bevir, Blavatsky "adapted the occult tradition to meet the challenge of Victorian science and morality".[316] Historian Ronald Hutton described Blavatsky as "one of the century's truly international figures" whose ideas gained "considerable popularity".[317] Various biographers have noted that, by the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Blavatsky was little-known among the general public.[318] In 2006, scholar James A. Santucci nevertheless noted that she was "as visible today as any modern trend-setting guru, and she will most likely remain the most memorable and innovative esotericist of the 19th century."[319]
 
Some scholars have suggested that Blavatsky sometimes spoke and/or wrote while in altered states of consciousness.[320][321][322] G. R. S. Mead wrote about Blavatsky, "I know no one who detested, more than she did, any attempt to hero-worship herself – she positively physically shuddered at any expression of reverence to herself – as a spiritual teacher; I have heard her cry out in genuine alarm at an attempt to kneel to her made by an enthusiastic admirer."[280] Leo Klejn wrote about Blavatsky: "Indefatigability and energy of this woman were surprising. She had a revolutionary's merits."[253][b] Mabel Collins, an associate and publisher of Lucifer between 1887 and 1889, believed Blavatsky's influence to be derived largely from a talent for manipulation. After leaving the Theosopical movement, Collins said that "she taught me one great lesson. I learned from her how foolish, how 'gullible', how easily flattered human beings are, taken en masse. Her contempt for her kind was on the same gigantic scale as everything else about her, except her marvellously delicate taper fingers. In all else, she was a big woman. She had a greater power over the weak and credulous, a greater capacity for making black appear white, a larger waist, a more voracious appetite, a more confirmed passion for tobacco, a more ceaseless and insatiable hatred for those whom she thought to be her enemies, a greater disrespect for les convenances, a worse temper, a greater command of bad language, and a greater contempt for the intelligence of her fellow-beings than I had ever supposed possible to be contained in one person. These, I suppose, must be reckoned as her vices, though whether a creature so indifferent to all ordinary standards of right and wrong can be held to have virtues or vices, I know not."[323][324]
 
Blavatsky presented her book, The Voice of the Silence, to Leo Tolstoy. In his works, Tolstoy used the dicta from Theosophischer Wegweiser, a Theosophical journal.[325] In his 12 February 1903, diary entry, Tolstoy wrote: "I am reading a beautiful theosophical journal and find many commonalities with my understanding."[326]
 
According to Kalnitsky, the Theosophical movement of the nineteenth century was created and defined in the main through the astuteness and conceptual ideas provided by H.P. Blavatsky. He stated that "without her charismatic leadership and uncompromising promotion of the Theosophical agenda, it appears unlikely that the movement could have attained its unique form."[327] By the time of her death in 1891 she was the acknowledged head of a community numbering nearly 100,000, with journalistic organs in London, Paris, New York and Madras.[328] Her writings have been translated and published in a wide range of European and Asian languages.[329]
 
Blavatsky's Theosophy redirected the interest in Spiritualism toward a more coherent doctrine that included cosmology with theory of evolution in an understanding of humanity's spiritual development.[330] Further, it took the traditional sources of Western esotericism and globalized them by restating many of their ideas in terminology adopted from Asian religions.[330] Blavatsky's Theosophy was able to appeal to women by de-emphasizing the importance of gender and allowing them to take on spiritual leadership equal to that of men, thus allowing them a greater role than that permitted in traditional Christianity.[331]
 
Since its inception, and through doctrinal assimilation or divergence, Theosophy has also given rise to or influenced the development of other mystical, philosophical, and religious movements.[332] During the 1920s the Theosophical Society Adyar had around 7,000 members in the U.S.[333] There also was a substantial following in Asia. According to a Theosophical source, the Indian section in 2008 was said to have around 13,000 members while in the US the 2008 membership was reported at around 3,900.[334]
 
Western esotericism
Blavatsky's Theosophy has been described as representing "a major factor in the modern revival" of Western esotericism.[335] Godwin deemed there to be "no more important figure in modern times" within the Western esoteric tradition than Blavatsky.[245] For Johnson, Blavatsky was "a central figure in the nineteenth-century occult revival".[336] Lachman claimed that "practically all modern occultism and esotericism" can trace its origins back to her influence.[337] Blavatsky's published Theosophical ideas, particularly those regarding Root Races, have been cited as an influence on Ariosophy, the esoteric movement established in late 19th- and early 20th-century Germany and Austria by Guido von List and Jörg Lanz von Liebenfels.[338][339] Hannah Newman stated that via Ariosophy, Blavatsky's Theosophical ideas "contributed to Nazi ideology".[340] Nevertheless, Lachman has asserted that Blavatsky should not be held accountable to any of the antisemitic and racist ideas that the Ariosophists promoted, commenting that were she alive to witness the development of Ariosophy she probably would have denounced its ideas regarding race.[341] Blavatsky's Theosophical ideas regarding Root Races have also been cited as an influence on Anthroposophy, the esoteric movement developed by Rudolf Steiner in early 20th-century Germany,[342] with Steiner's Anthroposophical Society being termed a "historical offshoot" of the Theosophical Society.[343]
 
Blavatsky's Theosophy has been cited as an influence on the New Age Movement, an esoteric current that emerged in Western nations during the 1970s.[344] "No single organization or movement has contributed so many components to the New Age Movement as the Theosophical Society. ... It has been the major force in the dissemination of occult literature in the West in the twentieth century."[345][c] Other organizations loosely based on Theosophical texts and doctrines include the Agni Yoga, and a group of religions based on Theosophy called the Ascended Master Teachings: the "I AM" Activity, The Bridge to Freedom, Universal Medicine and The Summit Lighthouse, which evolved into the Church Universal and Triumphant.[347]
 
Linguistics
American scholar of religion Jason Josephson-Storm has argued that Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society influenced late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century academic linguistics. Josephson-Storm notes that Blavatsky's linguistic theories and typologies were widely circulated in Europe, and that influential linguists such as Émile-Louis Burnouf and Benjamin Lee Whorf either practiced Theosophy as promoted by the Theosophical Society or publicly defended its doctrines.[348] Ferdinand de Saussure is also known to have attended séances and wrote a lengthy analysis of the Theosophical claims about linguistics and India, "la théosophie brahmanique (Brahamanic Theosophy)" while delivering his Cours de linguistique générale.[349]
 
South Asian religion and politics
Hutton suggested that Blavatsky had a greater impact in Asia than in the Western world.[279] Blavatsky has been cited as having inspired Hindus to respect their own religious roots.[350] The Theosophical Society influenced the growth of Indian national consciousness, with prominent figures in the Indian independence movement, among them Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, being inspired by Theosophy to study their own national heritage.[351] The Theosophical Society had a major influence on Buddhist modernism and Hindu reform movements,[352] while Blavatsky and Olcott took part in Anagarika Dharmapala's revival of Theravada Buddhism in Ceylon.[353][354]
 
Meade stated that "more than any other single individual", Blavatsky was responsible for bringing a knowledge of Eastern religion and philosophy to the West.[350] Blavatsky believed that Indian religion offered answers to problems then facing Westerners; in particular, she believed that Indian religion contained an evolutionary cosmology which complemented Darwinian evolutionary theory, and that the Indian doctrine of reincarnation met many of the moral qualms surrounding vicarious atonement and eternal damnation that preoccupied 19th-century Westerners.[355] In doing so, Meade believed that Blavatsky paved the way for the emergence of later movements such as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, Transcendental Meditation movement, Zen Buddhism, and yoga in the West.[350] Hutton believed that the two greatest achievements of Blavatsky's movement were in popularizing belief in reincarnation and in a singular divine world soul within the West.[356]
 
Blavatsky "both incorporated a number of the doctrines of eastern religions into her occultism, and interpreted eastern religions in the light of her occultism", in doing so extending a view of the "mystical East" that had already been popularized through Romanticist poetry.[357] Max Müller scathingly criticized Blavatsky's Esoteric Buddhism. Whilst he was willing to give her credit for good motives, at least at the beginning of her career, in his view she ceased to be truthful both to herself and to others with her later "hysterical writings and performances". There is a nothing esoteric or secretive in Buddhism, he wrote, in fact the very opposite. "Whatever was esoteric was ipso facto not Buddha's teaching; whatever was Buddha's teaching was ipso facto not esoteric".[358][d] Blavatsky, it seemed to Müller, "was either deceived by others or carried away by her own imaginations."[359] Blavatsky responded to those academic specialists in Indian religion who accused her of misrepresenting it by claiming that they understood only the exoteric nature of Hinduism and Buddhism and not the inner esoteric secrets of these faiths, which she traced back to the ancient Vedas.[360]
 
Crowley regarded Blavatsky highly, attributing great significance to the fact that she founded the TS in the same year he was born,15 and “always held her in absolute reverence as a genuine messenger from the Masters.
 
Blavatsky is included as a possible Jack The Ripper suspect due to a remark by Aleister Crowley in an unpublished, untitled essay, he wrote, 'It is hardly one's first, or even one's hundreth guess that the Victorian worthy in the case of Jack the Ripper was no less a person than Helena Petrovna Blavatsky'. Crowley, according to some fans said he had a big sense of humor. Helena believed that Jews were inherently unspiritual because they were descended from a cross between the fourth and fifth root races. She was considered to be the mother of the new age spirit, according to Alice Bailey. Helena believed that Jews were inherently unspiritual because they were descended from a cross between the fourth and fifth root races (“Lemurians” are the third, “Atlanteans” are the fourth, “Aryans” are the fifth) and the religion was an obsolete hangover from the Age of Aries (we are near the end of the Age of Pisces, ready to transition into the Age of Aquarius). She even interpreted “Abraham” as “A-Bram”, “not Brahman”. In other words, Judaism, by insisting on human exceptionalism and “God out there”, was incompatible with the esoteric belief that man should lose his individuality by merging into the all-encompassing Godhead of Brahman.
 
Normal Christianity, in her view, was similarly flawed, though her associate Annie Besant believed that if it were properly interpreted one could devise an “Esoteric Christianity” that was compatible with the spiritual truths she believed in.
 
Many Theosophists and occultists had similar beliefs, but made an exception for the Kabbalah. However, they mostly believed that “Qabalah” had been awkwardly grafted onto Judaism and should be prised off it to form a spiritual tradition in its own right.
Not sure whether this translated into antisemitism on a personal level, but it did form the basis of the “Ariosophy” which was one of the roots of Nazism.
 
There is every probability that Hitler was acquainted with some of the Theosophy stuff because of his early interest in some aspects of occultism, a 1920s fad, aside from architecture and military history. However, the cosmo-conceptions of Blavatsky and Besant regarding “Aryans” were quite DIFFERENT from those of Hans Guenther, Vacher de Lapouge, H S Chamberlain, Madison Grant or even Alfred Rosenberg. The Theosophical Society used the swastika (as did Kipling) but reversed it after the Nazi crimes. A lot of commercial rubbish is written about Hitler as an “adept” or “avatar”.
 
The only relevant books worth reading are those by Goodrick-Clarke, Ellic Howe & Christopher Hutton. Blavatsky was an erudite fraud, and her views on Lemuria, Atlantis & phantasmagoric tripe wew as well; John Symonds who writes Hitler became anti-Christian and lost his belief in an afterlife towards the end. Hitler was an evolutionist of sorts; see Richard Weikart.
 
Helena was made an honorary member of the International Co-Freemasonry Order (Le Droit Humain), but was never initiated in the 3 degrees. She was presented with a certificate naming her a Thirty Third degree member of a clandestine masonic organization. This order, established 140 years ago in France, was the founding one that admitted women as equals in a then men only Lodge. Principally working on the European Continent it spread worldwide, the British Commonwealth part being established by Annie Besant.
 
They gave her permission to use a revised ritual (compiled by Leadbetter - known as the Lauderdale) which included a requirement for an acceptance of a Supreme being, the French ritual not requiring that. This revised ritual is virtually identical to the Scottish workings. So all 33 degrees are worked under the one Administrative Body.
 
In 2000, several Countries: New Zealand, South Africa, India, Peru, Some USA and Australian, plus a few others formed the Eastern Order of International Co-M, when the French Hierarchy demanded that their ritual replace the Lauderdale one in ALL Lodges.
 
Generally, fundamentalist British/American masons do not recognise these Orders, but here in New Zealand I have belonged to both with the full knowledge of Lodge members. We Co-Masons permit any proved Freemason to attend our meetings.
 
HPB’s ideology was what helped to establish mixed masonic bodies world wide. Besant & Leadbetter founded Lodges on behalf of LDH in the Commonwealth, but like the ‘male craft’ type membership is sadly declining in this modern age of fancy gadgets.
 
On her deathbed she apparently admitted that all her written works had been channeled from an entity - as was also the case with Aleistair Crowley, who was a contemporary of Blavatsky’s (except that Crowley’s works were channeled by his ex-wife). So in that sense, given that she allowed herself to have the authorship for such a copious quantity of literary works attributed to her, I would say she was something of a fraud.
 
Knowing the real source of the information found in her written works was some sort of discarnate entity, this casts serious doubts as to how much of that information could be regarded as true and accurate.
 
However in terms of the other things she accomplished both good and bad - depending how you view the New Age movement which she helped to usher in - she was genuine. I don’t personally regard that as merit worthy, but neither could it be called fraudulent as such.
 
All of the largest names in occult history had one thing in common. Selfishness. Of all of the channeling and information surrounding their philosophies can be rooted in doing what you want and not following a code of ethics in morality. They all were wonderful writers and were good at the power of suggestion. Like the occult writer J. D. Salinger (whom was an occultist on eastern philosophy and mysticism), author of The Catcher in the Rye, these authors are masters at planting thoughts of perversity, selfishness and following your own way instead of what society or a religion would do. They lure you in on the idea that society is the problem and you must break out of it and find your own way to reach enlightenment. The problem is their way leads you to casting spells for personal gain and not in the simplicity of Jesus who said to love god and love your neighbor. Don’t get me wrong, eastern religions are not evil at face value. I believe they are being used to steer people out of Christianity because out of all the religions, it seems to be the one mostly hated. Zionism wants to get rid of it altogether and I do think these occultists play a huge part in their writings convincing people to find another way. Helena Blavatsky was loved by all of the most powerful witches and warlocks worldwide and still to this day. Her work is carried on through Alice Bailey who created Lucis, formerly Lucifer Trust who’s name provides a clue as to who their enemy really is. They all reveal Christianity is their weakness and there is a lot there to ponder.

Luminiferous Ether, Fifth Element, Philosophers Stone & Firmament

Luminiferous Ether, Fifth Element, Philosophers Stone & Firmament
Dmitri Mendeleev published a periodic table of the chemical elements in 1869 based on properties that appeared with some regularity as he laid out the elements from lightest to heaviest. When Mendeleev proposed his periodic table, he noted gaps in the table and predicted that then unknown elements existed with properties appropriate to fill those gaps. He named them eka-boron, eka-aluminium, eka-silicon, and eka-manganese, with respective atomic masses of 44, 68, 72, and 100
In 1908, the Rockefellers supposedly removed Luminiferous Ether from the periodic tables. Why? What is ether? Any supposed breakdown of atoms could be explained away by the emission of ether, which Mendeleev calculated to be a million times lighter than hydrogen. Some of Mendeleev's published tables left space for ether and marked that spot with an X. He called element X Newtonium
Is Luminiferous ether too close to the truth which has to be hidden at all cost? Is this what the Illuminati is trying to hide away for the fear of the truth that there are smaller particles which could explain god or lead to evidence to support a creator? Is this why cern is doing particle colliding? To continue going smaller and smaller finding more elements but hiding it with science?
Let’s dive into some history of two men competing for the glory of the periodic table. In the mid-18th century in much of Europe, Britain, and the United States, the names of progress were technology, trade, and human liberty. The not-yet-unified German states were growing into competitors to the traditional scientific powerhouses of France and Britain. Even Russia began to bend to the winds of change despite being an autocratic, largely agricultural society where serfs were bound to the land they worked and government censorship was the norm.
Two young men began their professional journeys at this time. In 1850 a teenager from Siberia began to study chemistry in St. Petersburg, the Russian capital. In the 1860s the now-citified provincial became a civil servant in the tsar’s government. He was a devoted teacher, aware of the lack of good textbooks in Russian. At age 35, to make the lives of his students easier, he wrote a chemistry textbook in his native language that contained a simple table categorizing the elements.
Meanwhile the other man, a German, studied medicine in Switzerland and then chemistry in the German states under two of that region’s great scientists: Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff. He too became a teacher, shifting between various German universities, and wrote chemistry textbooks, the first of which contained a simple table categorizing the elements. What are the odds that two people from two different worlds were starting this at the same time?
Both men are now important names in the history of science: Dmitri Mendeleev and Julius Lothar Meyer. Each man created a periodic system of the elements. And while Meyer’s first version of his table appeared in 1864 and Mendeleev’s not until 1869, it is Mendeleev who has become widely known as the single parent of the periodic table. But this is not a story of injustice, of a man who never received his due. Instead it reveals the changing nature of chemistry. What follows is a tale that undermines our expectations of what and who makes a great scientist and hangs as much on language as on science.
Two Chemists
At age 15 Mendeleev emerged from Tobolsk, the old capital of Siberia, a most unusual place to find a budding chemist. His mother, in search of opportunities for her bright son, took him to St. Petersburg for his education, where he pursued the sciences, especially chemistry. After a miserable two years teaching uninterested high-school students in Crimea, Mendeleev wrangled a government-subsidized postdoctoral position that took him to Heidelberg.
Meyer, unlike Mendeleev, came from a scientifically inclined family. Meyer worked as a gardener when migraines forced him out of high school for a time. Afterward he followed the standard path for Germans intent on becoming professors, deviating only a little in the breadth of his chemical interests and in the number of places at which he studied: Zurich for general chemistry and the German states for physiological chemistry, physical chemistry, and physics.
Meyer’s education exposed him to more theoretical speculations than were usual for a chemist, certainly more than Mendeleev experienced, but to an outside observer he followed the itinerant and slightly dull university-bound life of a man establishing himself as a professor in Germany. Mendeleev, however, followed anything but a predictable path for a professor of chemistry. He was forced to make a place for himself among the long-established elites of St. Petersburg, where he spent the rest of his life. Mendeleev taught chemistry, published much, became skilled in public relations, and presented himself as a general-purpose intellectual on scientific topics, including oil production, agriculture, and even cheese making. Far more is known about Mendeleev than Meyer (the former kept all his notes, records, and letters dating from the first inklings of his periodic system’s potential).
The tsar’s emancipation of the serfs in 1861 led to rapid urbanization and the beginnings of an industrial revolution as ex-serfs, who made up 80% of Russia’s population, moved to cities in search of economic opportunities. Russia was feeling the early tremors of a seismic cultural shift that would precipitate its transition from an agricultural to an industrial nation. These changes offered opportunities to a man of Mendeleev’s temperament and skills. Mendeleev taught at St. Petersburg University, but he also advised the state on such science-related topics as tariffs on imported chemicals, parts for chemical factories, and the growing oil industry. Along with these economic transformations came political ones that led to a partial liberalization—although not democratization—of the state. Censorship of the press was eased, universities reformed, and education expanded to create a technical elite who would build the factories that would modernize a Russia that remained under the tsar’s control.
Hold that thought. Mendeleev practiced chemistry in oil. The Rockefeller’s were climbing in power during that time and oil was their backbone. Anyone that understood the chemistry of oil could understand how to break down elements even further. Did Mendeleev stumble onto the truth due to no censorship at that time in Russia which was still under the control of Tsar Alexander before the Bolshevik revolution which gave the bankers full control over Russia ever since? Remember in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion they mentioned Russia and the Vatican as the enemy of the bankers at that time, too. Since the Zionists didn’t control Russia, Mendeleev had no restraints on publishing material and propaganda wasn’t targeting chemistry just yet. 
And that was the system Mendeleev liked (less censorship). “He wanted the tsar to be firmly in control,” says historian Michael D. Gordin, author of A Well-Ordered Thing: Dmitrii Mendeleev and the Shadow of the Periodic Table. “He was pro-progress, pro-modernization, pro-liberalization of the economy. He was not pro-democracy. He saw the beginnings of parliament in 1905, and he didn’t like it.” Mendeleev wanted Russia to compete economically with Britain and Germany, or, as he put it in the last years of his life, “to catch up and overtake.” Side note: Russia should have wiped out the Prussians instead of asking them to change their religion. Obviously Russia and their knowledge of chemistry was an enemy of Zionists. 
In 1870, the year the German states merged to form one nation as a result of the Franco-Prussian War, Meyer was a chemistry professor at Karlsruhe Polytechnic Institute. He contributed his medical skills to his newly born nation by setting up a temporary hospital for those injured in the war. Like Mendeleev, he saw his world politically and economically transformed, but unlike Mendeleev, he was never part of public life. “He was a classic university professor,” says Gordin. “He taught large courses, advised lots of students, wrote textbooks, and lived a very bourgeois life.”
While Meyer’s life may have followed that of a bourgeois professor, in the chemistry world he was an oddball: he speculated, including on the physical reality of the atom and on how matter was built and bonded. Despite this, remarks Gordin, if you asked almost any 19th-century chemist which one of the two was more of a chemist’s chemist, it would be Meyer: “He does things properly. He’s a little funky on theory and has a lot of speculations, but he knows how to discipline and control them.”
In the 1860s the interests of both men coalesced around the periodic behavior of many of the known elements. Today we understand the periodic table as saying something fundamental about matter. Each row of the table moves from left to right as electron shells fill up; each element has one more proton than the one before it. But in the 1860s electrons had yet to be discovered, and only a few chemists, such as Meyer, were rash enough to speculate on the atom’s physical reality.
Making a Periodic Table
Systems to order the elements came into existence six times during the 1860s. Even before tables were created, people found relationships among elements, such as certain triads where the atomic weight of the middle element is the average of the ones on either side. And it was clear to chemists of the time that certain elements came in natural families, like the halogens—fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
All the systems put the elements in order of increasing atomic weight, which is why they cluster in the 1860s. Before that time chemists did not have accurate atomic weights; some were off by a factor of two, being measured as twice as heavy or twice as light as what we now recognize as their true weights. Uranium, for example, was thought to weigh something on the order of 120, instead of 240. Only after the first major international chemistry conference, held in Karlsruhe in 1860 and attended by both Meyer and Mendeleev, did chemists standardize atomic weights. Once that happened, chemists found it far easier to order their elements.
A French mining engineer named Alexandre-Émile Béguyer de Chancourtois created the very first system of elements in 1862. Instead of the now-familiar grid, he used a helix and called his system the telluric screw: Béguyer de Chancourtois drew a diagonal line on a sheet of graph paper and placed the elements along the line by increasing atomic weights, then wrapped his sheet around a cylinder. Dropping a vertical line down the sheet linked elements with similar properties. “There were experimental errors and not all the elements sit on a straight line, but it’s a very interesting system,” says Gordin. “But no one cared; no one even remembered what he did until the 1870s, when there was a priority dispute over the periodic table.”
In 1864 Meyer published the first edition of Die modernen Theorien der Chemie and included a table of 28 elements arranged by increasing atomic weight and divided into six families by valence. So, for example, sulfur was placed just below oxygen in the valence-2 column (valence determined how elements combined with each other). Tin was placed below silicon in the valence-4 column, though intriguingly Meyer left a gap between silicon and tin, as if for a shadow element. “Meyer’s distinctive quality for most historians and chemists is that he had gaps [in his periodic system] and chose not to predict,” says Gordin. “And, therefore, he somehow failed because predicting is obviously what you should do when you have gaps in a system.” But in the 1860s filling the gaps was not at all an obvious move.
Mendeleev also encountered gaps when assembling his first table in 1869—three gaps, to be precise, each of which he filled with a question mark and rough estimate of atomic weight before moving on to the next element. Mendeelev viewed his system as a generalization about matter rather than an earth-shattering invention. It allowed chemists, especially those teaching students, to organize large amounts of information in a small amount of space. In essence it was a teaching tool with no connection to theory. Mendeleev initially developed the table for his textbook Osnovy khimii(Principles of Chemistry). When it came time to present it to the Russian Chemical Society in March 1869, Mendeleev was off in the countryside inspecting cheese makers, leaving a friend to introduce his table to the world.
In an article published in a Russian chemical journal the following month, Mendeleev compared his system to the others he knew about. He believed his system offered eight advantages over competing systems; the possibility of discovering unknown bodies was only a minor one and came second to last in the list. Only in 1870 did he begin to offer detailed predictions—his eka elements—to fill three gaps in the 63 then-known elements.
Meyer’s theoretical daring allowed him to speculate about real, physical atoms but not to predict the existence of a new element. While he did not discount the existence of new elements, he, like other scientists, saw no reason to assume that any gap must be filled with an unknown or even unknowable element. Chemists at the time understood their jobs as explaining substances that already existed. On the other hand, Mendeleev, the filler of gaps, refused for many years to believe in the existence of the atom, hated the idea of radioactivity from the time it was discovered in 1895, and rejected the electron after J. J. Thomson found it in 1897. In addition, some of his elemental predictions were wrong, including one for an element he called Newtonium.
The question of who “discovered” the periodic table first then depends on what people think has been discovered. Says Gordin, “It’s not like, ‘I found this coffee cup first.’ It’s which relationships [that our current periodic table predicts] matter most.” Meyer left gaps. But Mendeleev was the one to say those gaps should be filled. It’s a weird assumption, says Gordin, because no one knew about electrons and protons and neutrons.
A Missed Step
In 1869 censors allowed the publication of the first chemical journal in the Russian language: the Journal of the Russian Chemical Society. But censorship was not the only reason for a lack of Russian science journals. At the time there were about 200 academic physical scientists in the whole of Russia; Berlin, soon to be Germany’s scientific capital, had several times that number.
Mendeleev wrote his textbook, which included his table, in Russian and intended it for Russian college students. Few Russian professional chemists and no chemists outside of Russia would have read it. But Mendeleev also published his table in the first volume of the Journal of the Russian Chemical Society, describing it as a wonderful teaching tool with the added benefit of a few interesting predictions.
Another side note: Don’t think for a minute that countries and empires back then were just working together in harmony to find answers for the greater good. Chemistry and science was in the control grid to be used for power. Any country that came up with a theory or fact would in science could be used against their enemies. For all we know about this information is its half truths as the real truth hurts the controllers who keep the real periodic table of elements. One would be a fool to think science is for the people.  When the truth is, science is used and suppressed to control the people. Otherwise, why was the manhattan project such a secret? Because splitting the atom was first used against the people. Countries would hold back on releasing any data on the elements for good reason. Secrecy and control isn’t new. 
 
“Mendeleev wanted to publish in Russian because he was patriotic and because he was more comfortable in it,” Gordin says. “At the same time, he knew that he wouldn’t get any credit abroad, and credit abroad was very useful for credit at home.” At this time Italian had faded as a language of science, leaving the field to English, French, and German. Russians looking for scientific credit beyond their own borders tended to publish in German or, more rarely, French. Says Gordin, “No chemist in Europe—Italy, France, Germany, Scandinavia, or Britain—read Russian. So if you published it in Russian, it was functionally unpublished. No one would know; it’d have no impact.”
 
Mendeleev spoke German but wrote that language only haltingly. After he reduced his 10-page article into a one-page abstract, he gave it to a local bilingual professor to translate into German. The professor passed it to a graduate student who quickly translated the abstract; it was published in 1869 in a minor German journal named Zeitschrift für Chemie und Pharmacie, one favored by Russian chemists. Any Germans who wanted to keep track of what Russian chemists were up to read that journal.
 
Mendeleev understood the need for speed in publishing; coming second counts for little in assigning credit. Unfortunately the translator missed what we now consider to be Mendeleev’s central claim. “There’s a slight mistake in the translation,” says Gordin. “Instead of saying that if you organize elements according to their atomic weight, there is a periodic change in their properties, which is what Mendeleev said in the Russian, the German version says, ‘There is a gradual or a stepwise [stufenweise] change in the property.’ There’s a very easy one-to-one word translation, periodicheski in Russian to periodischein German, but the translator didn’t think it was that important a word.”
 
So, could it have been sabotage to gain information and discredit Russia and their progress? We read these published articles without any discernment. We believe in the good in people and think nothing of secret service or secret societies infiltrating scientists for gain. But they do. Spies are everywhere. Especially where technology is about to break. Like AI. Just because China has more patents than the United States, doesn’t mean the United States doesn’t have spies in China copying their progress. And vice versa. Whoever gets to the top of the hill is King. The periodic table and the elements were key to controlling the future. And why? Because they can create their own and hide elements to use for their own. Like Lumi Ether. If you can bury your Russian competitor with propaganda slandering their credentials by teaming with other countries to write against them, you can hide the truth. 
 
Meyer read Mendeleev’s German abstract, and when in 1870 he published his full periodic system in Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, then possibly the world’s most significant chemistry journal, he cited Mendeleev profusely. Meyer added that Mendeleev had almost reached his goal but hadn’t understood that the system was periodic. Regardless if they were patting each other on the back, secret societies were there steering opinion. 
 
Gordin reimagines the response and counter-response: “Mendeleev says, ‘But I said it was periodic,’ and Meyer says, ‘No you didn’t. You said it was stufenweise; you said it was gradual.’ Mendeleev goes, ‘Oh, that was the German abstract. That wasn’t the Russian original. You should have looked at the original.’ And Meyer says, ‘I’m not supposed to read Russian. That’s too much to expect from me. I already have to read Italian and French and English and Swedish!’”
 
The one-word difference, the shift from “periodic” to “stepwise” triggered a heated dispute between the two men that ran throughout much of the 1870s and which was extensively commented on in chemistry journals across Europe. Mendeleev knew he had to persuade the Germans, who by that time were preeminent in chemistry. In 1871 he published the full version of his work—with now detailed predictions of three new elements—in Liebigs Annalen. The battle heated up in the journal of Germany’s
 
Mendeleev stood fast in refusing to give Meyer any credit. “Meyer’s claims for credit were modest,” Gordin says. “He wanted some credit for being part of the process of creating a periodic system. Mendeleev wanted credit for creating the system; he didn’t think he should share that with anybody. And it’s very tricky to claim that because there were so many predecessors.”
 
A Russian Triumph
 
In his fight with Meyer, Mendeleev argued that his periodic system was independent of and more advanced than anybody else’s. And he took what no one else had done, his predictions, and emphasized those, staking his claim to priority on what he called his eka-elements: eka-aluminum, eka-boron, and eka-silicon, which filled the gaps next to aluminum, boron, and silicon. Eka-aluminum was discovered in 1875 and called gallium; in 1879 eka-boron was discovered and called scandium; and eka-silicon was discovered in 1886 and called germanium. Mendeleev had expected his predictions to come true at some uncertain future date, with any luck while he was still alive. When the first of his predictions came true, Mendeleev, says Gordin, was as surprised as anyone else.
 
But simply predicting new elements was not enough; Mendeleev had to convince people that prediction was the important criterion in deciding who won the race. By the 1880s he had persuaded the world that prediction made the periodic system a unique chemical tool. Even so, chemists often gave Meyer and Mendeleev shared credit for the periodic system, with each discovering it independently. Meyer and Mendeleev jointly received the Davy Medal of the Royal Society in 1882. Chemistry textbooks published at the turn of the 20th century that included the periodic table often mentioned Meyer as well as Mendeleev as the creators of the periodic system.
 
Only death ended the priority battle. After Meyer died in 1895, Mendeleev, who died in 1907, continued to write about the priority dispute, claiming sole ownership of the periodic system, and without Meyer few were left to argue against him. The Soviet Union’s growing economic importance in the 1930s helped tip the balance further, as did the Nazi purge of German science and their expulsion of Jews, socialists, and other undesirable scientists. By the 1950s the Soviet Union was second only to the United States in terms of quantity and quality of work in chemistry, and Soviet chemistry journals referred to the periodic table as Mendeleev’s system of chemical elements. Mendeleev had become the undisputed father of the periodic table.
 
Mendeleev after the Periodic TableThe periodic table became truly central to chemistry only after World War I, at least in part owing to the rise of the Bohr atom with its central proton nucleus surrounded by orbiting electrons. For the first time the periodic system could explain why the elements have the properties they do. Ironically, given this later importance of the electron to the periodic table, Mendeleev rejected the existence of electrons. He was also skeptical of the noble gases when they were discovered in the 1890s because they did not form bonds with other elements and so had no place in his table. Mendeleev only accepted the noble gases as a way to explain away radioactivity, which he rejected because he believed matter to be immutable.After developing his periodic system Mendeleev moved into gas physics in search of ether and its composition. Ether was the holy grail of the physical sciences in the second half of the 19th century, and almost all scientists accepted its existence. Since ether was assumed to have mass, Mendeleev was determined to find it and place it in his periodic table among the noble gases. Not only would ether have a place at his table, he also could use it to ensure that the atom remained unbroken—no need for radioactivity or pesky electrons. Any supposed breakdown of atoms could be explained away by the emission of ether, which Mendeleev calculated to be a million times lighter than hydrogen. Some of Mendeleev’s published tables left space for ether and marked that spot with an X. He called element X Newtonium.
 
So ether was never on Acadamia’s periodic table. It was on Russia’s. The Bible says we are living inside a bubble. Water is everywhere. Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty,darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so.8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry groundappear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
 
The Beatles tried to warn us and got a slap on the wrist with their song yellow submarine. The yellow is gold or heaven that surrounds us and the subarmine is the bubble. It’s also called the firmament. Which also is the veil. Could Ether be a cover up? The ancient Israelites believed the firmament was a dome over us as the sky and the stars were embedded in the dome. Of course we see satellites up there moving slowly in space, so it’s hard to see how much of a huge cover up this is. Unless what we are witnessing are just balloons instead of sateelites. But they travel faster than balloons. They could be airplanes with big lights flying in circles to make us believe satellites exist? NASA trains underwater and many videos have uncovered bubbles to even mice in what appeared to be a studio. They also do not have any spacewalks that show the stars behind them. Nor are there any astronauts filmed anymore than 15 minutes in space. We also have seen evidence of green screens that hide the wires. All this effort to hide the fact we live on a flat plain in a bubble?
 
According to ancient and medieval science, aether (/ˈiːθər/, alternative spellings include æther, aither, and ether), also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere.[1] The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the propagation of light and gravity. In the late 19th century, physicists postulated that aether permeated space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum, but evidence for the presence of such a medium was not found in the Michelson–Morley experiment, and this result has been interpreted to mean that no luminiferous aether exists.[2]
 
So ether takes away from dark matter, space as a vacuum and the theory of gravity. Right after world war 2, the whole world was quick to get to space first. It was between Russia and the United States. What’s interesting is Russia science is different than America’s. But Russia was controlled by the bankers during the space race so we can’t postulate Russia was trying to beat America to chemistry control. 
 
The word αἰθήρ (aithḗr) in Homeric Greek means "pure, fresh air" or "clear sky".[3] In Greek mythology, it was thought to be the pure essence that the gods breathed, filling the space where they lived, analogous to the air breathed by mortals.[4] It is also personified as a deity, Aether, the son of Erebus and Nyx in traditional Greek mythology.[5]Aether is related to αἴθω "to incinerate",[6] and intransitive "to burn, to shine" (related is the name Aithiopes (Ethiopians; see Aethiopia), meaning "people with a burnt (black) visage").[7][8]
 
It’s also called the fifth element
 
In Plato's Timaeus (58d) speaking about air, Plato mentions that "there is the most translucent kind which is called by the name of aether (αἰθήρ)"[9] but otherwise he adopted the classical system of four elements. Aristotle, who had been Plato's student at the Academy, agreed on this point with his former mentor, emphasizing additionally that fire has sometimes been mistaken for aether. However, in his Book On the Heavens he introduced a new "first" element to the system of the classical elements of Ionian philosophy. He noted that the four terrestrial classical elements were subject to change and naturally moved linearly. The first element however, located in the celestial regions and heavenly bodies, moved circularly and had none of the qualities the terrestrial classical elements had. It was neither hot nor cold, neither wet nor dry. With this addition the system of elements was extended to five and later commentators started referring to the new first one as the fifth and also called it aether, a word that Aristotle had used in On the Heavens and the Meteorology.[10]
 
Aether differed from the four terrestrial elements; it was incapable of motion of quality or motion of quantity. Aether was only capable of local motion. Aether naturally moved in circles, and had no contrary, or unnatural, motion. Aristotle also stated that celestial spheres made of aether held the stars and planets. The idea of aethereal spheres moving with natural circular motion led to Aristotle's explanation of the observed orbits of stars and planets in perfectly circular motion.[1][11]
 
Medieval scholastic philosophers granted aether changes of density, in which the bodies of the planets were considered to be more dense than the medium which filled the rest of the universe.[12]Robert Fludd stated that the aether was "subtler than light". Fludd cites the 3rd-century view of Plotinus, concerning the aether as penetrative and non-material.[13]
 
Quintessence (𝓠) is the Latinate name of the fifth element used by medieval alchemists for a medium similar or identical to that thought to make up the heavenly bodies. It was noted that there was very little presence of quintessence within the terrestrial sphere. Due to the low presence of quintessence, earth could be affected by what takes place within the heavenly bodies.[15] This theory was developed in the 14th century text The testament of Lullius, attributed to Ramon Llull.[citation needed] 
 
The use of quintessence became popular within medieval alchemy. Quintessence stemmed from the medieval elemental system, which consisted of the four classical elements, and aether, or quintessence, in addition to two chemical elements representing metals: sulphur, "the stone which burns", which characterized the principle of combustibility, and mercury, which contained the idealized principle of metallic properties.
 
Funny how sulpher is signified with hell and mercury is used to create antigravity which apparently the interdimensional beings use to travel. According to the above, they go hand in hand. Perhaps ether is the element that separates our world from theirs. Finding this element would push us towards scientifically building the Tower of Babel. The gateway to heaven. Ether could be related to the element that we call plasma. Plasma seems to have a connection with ghosts or supernatural phenomena. Plasma is a state of matter, along with solids, liquids, and gases. It's made up of free electrons and ions, which are atoms that have lost some or all of their electrons. Plasma is created when a neutral gas is heated to the point that some of its electrons are freed from the atoms or molecules. 
Plasma is found in many places, including: 
Outer space: Plasma makes up most of the visible matter in the universe, including the plasma in nebulae and stars like the sun.
Lightning, flames, and neon lights: These are all examples of plasma.
Aurora borealis: This is another example of plasma. 
Nuclear weapons: The cores of detonating nuclear weapons are extremely hot and dense plasmas. 
Research into plasma has led to important applications that are revolutionizing modern society. 
Blood component: Plasma is a component of blood, making up about 55% of its volume. Plasma carries nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the body's cells, and also helps remove waste products. The red cross collects 4.5 million blood donations a year.
 
If plasma is in everything, why do we not hear much about it? Is ether connected somehow to allow the devil worshippers to hide plasma, ether and god? Could the scientific community been hijacked by the Luciferians trying to keep us away from the truth? Why do we call spirits, elementals?
 
After the Middle Ages, the elemental system spread rapidly throughout all of Europe and became popular with alchemists, especially in medicinal alchemy. Medicinal alchemy then sought to isolate quintessence (another name for ether) and incorporate it within medicine and elixirs.[15] Due to quintessence's pure and heavenly quality, it was thought that through consumption one may rid oneself of any impurities or illnesses. In The book of Quintessence, a 15th-century English translation of a continental text, quintessence was used as a medicine for many of man's illnesses. A process given for the creation of quintessence is distillation of alcohol seven times.[16] Over the years, the term quintessence has become synonymous with elixirs, medicinal alchemy, and the philosopher's stone itself.[17]
 
With the 18th century physics developments, physical models known as "aether theories" made use of a similar concept for the explanation of the propagation of electromagnetic and gravitational forces. As early as the 1670s, Newton used the idea of aether to help match observations to strict mechanical rules of his physics.[18][a] The early modern aether had little in common with the aether of classical elements from which the name was borrowed. These aether theories are considered to be scientifically obsolete, as the development of special relativity showed that Maxwell's equations do not require the aether for the transmission of these forces. Einstein noted that his own model which replaced these theories could itself be thought of as an aether, as it implied that the empty space between objects had its own physical properties.[20]
 
Despite the early modern aether models being superseded by general relativity, occasionally some physicists have attempted to reintroduce the concept of aether in an attempt to address perceived deficiencies in current physical models.[21] One proposed model of dark energy has been named "quintessence" by its proponents, in honor of the classical element.[22] This idea relates to the hypothetical form of dark energy postulated as an explanation of observations of an accelerating universe. It has also been called a fifth fundamental force.
 
Could ether be the missing element in creating the philosophers stone? Can ether metamorphose base materials into gold? The philosopher's stone, variously described, was sometimes said to be a common substance, found everywhere but unrecognized and unappreciated. Kind of like air right? What about Satan being called an angel of light? What does that have to do with ether?
 
Aether and light
 
edit
Main article: Luminiferous aether
The motion of light was a long-standing investigation in physics for hundreds of years before the 20th century. The use of aether to describe this motion was popular during the 17th and 18th centuries, including a theory proposed by Johann II Bernoulli, who was recognized in 1736 with the prize of the French Academy. In his theory, all space is permeated by aether containing "excessively small whirlpools". These whirlpools allow for aether to have a certain elasticity, transmitting vibrations from the corpuscular packets of light as they travel through.[23]
 
This theory of luminiferous aether would influence the wave theory of light proposed by Christiaan Huygens, in which light traveled in the form of longitudinal waves via an "omnipresent, perfectly elastic medium having zero density, called aether". At the time, it was thought that in order for light to travel through a vacuum, there must have been a medium filling the void through which it could propagate, as sound through air or ripples in a pool. Later, when it was proved that the nature of light wave is transverse instead of longitudinal, Huygens' theory was replaced by subsequent theories proposed by Maxwell, Einstein and de Broglie, which rejected the existence and necessity of aether to explain the various optical phenomena. These theories were supported by the results of the Michelson–Morley experiment in which evidence for the motion of aether was conclusively absent.[24]The results of the experiment influenced many physicists of the time and contributed to the eventual development of Einstein's theory of special relativity.[25]
 
In 1682, Jakob Bernoulli formulated the theory that the hardness of the bodies depended on the pressure of the aether.[26] Aether has been used in various gravitational theories as a medium to help explain gravitation and what causes it.
 
A few years later, aether was used in one of Sir Isaac Newton's first published theories of gravitation, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (the Principia, 1687). He based the whole description of planetary motions on a theoretical law of dynamic interactions. He renounced standing attempts at accounting for this particular form of interaction between distant bodies by introducing a mechanism of propagation through an intervening medium.[27]He calls this intervening medium aether. In his aether model, Newton describes aether as a medium that "flows" continually downward toward the Earth's surface and is partially absorbed and partially diffused. This "circulation" of aether is what he associated the force of gravity with to help explain the action of gravity in a non-mechanical fashion.[27] This theory described different aether densities, creating an aether density gradient. 
 
His theory also explains that aether was dense within objects and rare without them. As particles of denser aether interacted with the rare aether they were attracted back to the dense aether much like cooling vapors of water are attracted back to each other to form water.[28] In the Principia he attempts to explain the elasticity and movement of aether by relating aether to his static model of fluids. This elastic interaction is what caused the pull of gravity to take place, according to this early theory, and allowed an explanation for action at a distance instead of action through direct contact. Newton also explained this changing rarity and density of aether in his letter to Robert Boyle in 1679.[28] He illustrated aether and its field around objects in this letter as well and used this as a way to inform Robert Boyle about his theory.[29] Although Newton eventually changed his theory of gravitation to one involving force and the laws of motion, his starting point for the modern understanding and explanation of gravity came from his original aether model on gravitation.
 
Quintessence is the Latinate name of the fifth element used by medieval alchemists for a medium similar or identical to that thought to make up the heavenly bodies. Quint is latin for 5 so quintessence is the fifth element. It was noted that there was very little presence of quintessence within the terrestrial sphere. The fifth element of nature is space. All of that stuff that separates matter. The ancient sages described Quintessence exactly like electricity. They believed it could be found in lightning. But they also called it the stuff of life, like bio-electricity. Quintessence has the power to make things come alive. Isn’t that a part of god because the bible says he is everything? Quintessence is also the purest of pure. Perfection. Nothing compares to it. Quintessence is the fifth element that encompassed everything in the universe. It acts as a guide to alchemical processes, telling them where to go and how to reach their most perfect form. You can have all of the right ingredients to make gold from lead, but without the quintessence to act as a guiding force, you will meet with failure every time. This is actually what the philosopher's stone was believed to be, a reddish to purple powder acting as the quintessence to perfect everything it came in contact with, purifying body and mind of creatures and metals into the perfect purest metal, gold. In opus magnum, I believe it is similar, acting as the guide to all alchemical processes. The reason all alchemy doesn't require pure atoms of the quintessence is because of the way it forms. We extract it from one atoms of each the four cardinal elements, meaning each must contain at least some of the quintessence to act as the guiding force during the alchemical reactions we create. The only reason we can't extract pure essence from one element only is due to instability causing a 'collapse', if you will, during the process, preventing the quintessence from forming, similar to how too much of one of the four humours will cause sickness in humans.
 
Quintessence is also described as dark matter or antimatter. It’s the same as matter but inverted. This is where quantum physics comes into play. Antimatter is perceived as particles whereas ether is perceived as liquid. –How do you know there was an invisible elephant in the fridge? There are footprints in the butter. And that is basically what dark matter and dark energy is: we have observed footprints in the butter, I mean cosmos, but we can’t see the invisible elephant which caused them. Whether it’s ether, antimatter, quintessence, fifth element or what, something happened around the turn of the 19th century to discredit the liquid form of dark energy, which can’t be tested to make it something that can be tested. Quantum mechanics could be a made up science to explain away god as this is what everything is made of. The last element that truly could possibly prove once and for all that there is a creator and the powers that want us goyim entertained by singers and actors are desperately trying to cover up real science. If there is an interdimensional world within ours, just as Congress has released to the public that UFOs are from there and not terrestrial, then what I think makes the most logical sense is the cover up of the fallen angels and what they are made of. They are the lords of the air. And since they are fluid like water, can follow our every step throughout the strings in the cosmos. 
 
They can’t manifest because they would explode. Just like when we harness antimatter. We can’t seem to hold it in any chamber for very long. Their power from the fourth dimension holds them back from manifestation which makes sense how they communicate through esoteric black magic which is just basic chemistry but using ether instead. Ether is the substance that has to be hidden at all cost to stop us from finding them and exposing them. Every time we get close, we are told to leave. We don’t belong there just like they don’t belong here. The veil or ether protects us from their god like status and I believe they once had access to our world. Ancient technology with the help of their children the nephilim brought them down to earth to rule over us for a time and I believe we are at the cusp of technology that will bring them back one more time. The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. History repeats. We can find comfort in the fact the nephilim are not presently here at the moment. But when they do show up, and they will acting as intergalactic brothers, they will come in peace but slay later. Just like all of the movies have conditioned us to get ready for. The return of the king.

The 5G Conspiracy & Zombie Apocalypse

The 5G Conspiracy & Zombie Apocalypse
The exact origin of the influenza virus is unknown, but it's believed to have been circulating among humans for thousands of years.
The earliest recorded reference to a disease with flu-like symptoms comes from the Greek physician Hippocrates, who described it in his sixth book of "Epidemics" around 412 BC. However, it's important to note that this doesn't definitively prove the existence of the influenza virus at that time.   
Over time, influenza has evolved and mutated, leading to various strains and pandemics throughout history. The most recent major pandemic was the 1918 Spanish Flu, which infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide and caused between 20 and 50 million deaths.
I remember there was a meme that showed when radio towers were put up, outbreaks started. For example when the first radio towers were erected in the late 1800’s the outbreak of the Spanish flu came around 1918. The first radio tower was erected in 1895 by Guglielmo Marconi. He used a tall wooden pole to support his antenna, which was a critical component for transmitting radio signals over long distances.
Marconi's experiments and innovations played a significant role in the development of radio technology and communication, too. 
By 1910, there were likely several hundred radio towers erected worldwide. The exact number is difficult to determine due to the early stages of radio technology and limited documentation.
Here's what we know:
Early adoption: Radio technology was rapidly developing and gaining popularity in the early 20th century.  
Amateur and commercial use: Both amateur radio enthusiasts and commercial entities were building and using radio towers for various purposes, such as communication, experimentation, and broadcasting.
Geographical distribution: Towers were erected in different countries and regions, depending on the level of technological advancement and infrastructure.
While the total number of towers in 1910 is uncertain, it's clear that radio technology was experiencing significant growth and expansion during this period.
By 1918, the number of radio towers worldwide had significantly increased. The exact count is challenging to ascertain due to the rapid growth of radio technology and limited documentation during this era.
However, we can estimate that thousands of radio towers were erected by 1918. This surge was driven by factors such as:
World War I: The war accelerated the development and use of radio communication for military purposes.
Commercial broadcasting: The emergence of commercial radio stations led to a demand for more towers to transmit signals over wider areas.
Amateur radio: Enthusiasts continued to build and operate their own radio stations, contributing to the overall number of towers.
While a precise figure is difficult to pin down, it's clear that radio technology had become widespread and influential by the time of the 1918 influenza pandemic.
So thousands were erected versus hundreds. Could radio have caused the influenza pandemic? 
The radiation emitted from early radio towers was primarily electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation is a form of energy that travels through space in waves. It's similar to the radiation emitted by the sun, but with a lower energy level.
Here are some key points about the radiation from early radio towers:
Radio waves: Most of the radiation emitted by these towers was in the form of radio waves. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light.
Non-ionizing radiation: Unlike ionizing radiation (such as X-rays or gamma rays), radio waves do not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms. This means they are generally considered safe for human exposure.
Low levels of exposure: Early radio towers typically emitted relatively low levels of electromagnetic radiation.This was due to the limited power and efficiency of the transmitting equipment at the time.
It's important to note that while the radiation from early radio towers was generally safe, excessive exposure to any type of electromagnetic radiation can potentially have negative health effects. However, the levels of radiation emitted by these towers were well below any known harmful thresholds.
So the likelihood of radio waves generating enough electromagnetic radiation to cause the world to face this flu doesn’t make sense since many cities worldwide didn’t have radio towers, yet faced the Spanish flu. Also, the flu affected sailors and there were no towers on the sea so most likely it was a virus. The towers did generate radiation, this is true, but if there was harm, it was silenced.
Academia says yes, there have been studies examining the potential health effects of early radio tower radiation. While the overall consensus is that the radiation emitted by these towers was generally safe, some studies have explored potential risks.
Here are a few key points:
Limited evidence: Most studies have found limited evidence to suggest that exposure to radiation from early radio towers caused significant health problems.
Non-ionizing radiation: As mentioned earlier, the radiation emitted by these towers was primarily non-ionizing, which is generally considered less harmful than ionizing radiation.
Long-term studies: Some studies have examined the long-term health effects of exposure to radio tower radiation. While these studies have not found definitive links to serious health problems, more research is needed to fully understand the potential risks.
Yes, there have been lawsuits against radio towers and their alleged harm. While these cases are relatively rare, they often involve claims of health problems or property damage attributed to radiation emitted by the towers.
Here are some common types of lawsuits related to radio towers:
Health concerns: Some individuals have claimed that exposure to radiation from radio towers has caused health problems, such as headaches, fatigue, or more serious conditions.
Property damage: Others have alleged that radio towers have caused damage to their property, such as interference with television or radio signals, or decreased property values.
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS): Some individuals who claim to be sensitive to electromagnetic fields have filed lawsuits against radio towers, arguing that the radiation has caused them significant health problems.
It's important to note that the outcomes of these lawsuits can vary widely. While some plaintiffs have been successful in obtaining settlements or verdicts, many cases have been dismissed due to lack of evidence or scientific consensus regarding the potential health risks associated with radio tower radiation.
But did they cause the Spanish flu? I don’t think so. It’s an interesting theory and yes technology does come with health concerns but I don’t see a clear connection as the flue would continue like an outbreak every year due to the towers being on and upgrades. Wouldn’t the flu get worse and not remain the same? It’s up for debate. 
There is no evidence of flu outbreaks and cell towers either. However cell towers emit the exact same kind of electromagnetic radiation. Frequency refers to the number of waves that pass a given point in a given amount of time. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Radio waves: Radio towers typically operate in the frequency range of 30 kHz to 300 GHz. This includes AM radio (535 kHz to 1605 kHz), FM radio (88 MHz to 108 MHz), and other radio services.
Cell phone signals: Cell phones use a variety of frequencies, but most modern networks operate in the 4G LTE frequency bands of 700 MHz, 1700 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2500 MHz. 5G networks use even higher frequencies,such as 3.5 GHz, 28 GHz, and 60 GHz.
The main difference in emissions between radio and cell towers is the frequency range they use. Additionally, cell towers often have multiple antennas to transmit and receive signals from different directions, while radio towers typically have a single antenna.
Academia says there is no conclusive scientific evidence to suggest that cell towers are more dangerous to health than radio towers. Both types of towers emit electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of radiofrequency (RF) waves.
 
While there have been concerns about the potential health effects of RF radiation, numerous studies have found no definitive link between exposure to these waves and serious health problems. The levels of RF radiation emitted by both cell towers and radio towers are generally well below any known harmful thresholds.
 
It's important to note that the specific frequencies used by cell towers and radio towers can vary, but this does not significantly impact their safety. Both types of towers are designed to operate within safe limits set by regulatory agencies.
 
In world war 2, soldiers used long wave and short wave radio packs to communicate between central command and other squadrons, platoons and planes. These packs were early cell phone technology and emitted radiation. There is no real evidence the operators got sick or had the flu.
 
We have heard rumors of 5G radio towers that are connected to street lights and people who took the Covid shot could turn into zombies. There are also two movies out there that uses cell towers to turn people into zombies. How likely could an event like that really happen? What would need to be put in the body to be activated? No, it is not theoretically possible for a zombie apocalypse to be triggered by an injection using cell towers.
 
Here's why:
 
Biological Impossibility: The concept of zombies, as portrayed in popular culture, involves the reanimation of the dead. This is biologically impossible. The human brain, once it has ceased to function, cannot be reactivated.
Cell Tower Function: Cell towers are electronic devices designed to transmit and receive radio signals. They do not have the capability to interact with biological organisms or trigger any kind of biological process.
No Scientific Basis: There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that a substance could be injected into the body to cause a zombie-like state. Such a scenario is purely fictional and does not have any basis in reality.
 
While the idea of a zombie apocalypse is intriguing, it is important to remember that it is a work of fiction and does not reflect scientific reality. Or not academia. They refuse it. While it's possible for a virus to mutate and cause a new disease, the resulting illness would likely follow a more traditional disease course, rather than something resembling a zombie apocalypse. I also saw a video of supposed CIA training on zombie attacks and have seen hospitals carrying a manual about it as well. Hospitals have zombie contingency plans as a precautionary measure to prepare for a variety of extreme scenarios, including pandemics, natural disasters, or civil unrest. While the concept of zombies is fictional, these plans can be adapted to address real-world crises that may involve large numbers of sick or injured people.
 
While the CIA does not publicly acknowledge training in zombie warfare, it is reasonable to assume that they have contingency plans in place for a variety of scenarios, including potential pandemics or other disasters. This would likely include training in how to deal with large numbers of people who may be infected or incapacitated, as well as how to protect themselves and others in such a scenario.
 
Now, obviously there is something going on. Hospitals do have manuals and the secret service as well for zombies. This is true. But we don’t have any real proof other than these could be practical jokes. As an amateur journalist, I can’t say this is fact or fiction. It requires some major digging. And you know me. The CIA released a classified article written in November of 1991 in an insider CIA newspaper called The Daily Snap.

From The Editors: Specialistsh Av E Acknowledged That Psychological Weapons Exist and the Information Media, Which Have Long Been A Tool For Ideological Brainwashing Of The Masses, Are Probably One Of The Most But Information About The Existencealsosstecenicalesl weapons has bonconfirabdathe Same Time. The Editors Have Received A Report About A Discovery And An invention A Method Of Inducing Artificial Sleep At A distance by means of radio waves registered By the state commnittee Our Knowledge, An Dypnotec Radi Atoraras Ben Bultand As Ben Knowledge, A Hypnotic Radiator Has Been built And Has Been Successfully Tested In A Military Unit.
 
It appears the USSR in the 1920’s first started using psycho weapons on their people through drugs and radio waves. It was so successful that the United States picked up on it. The United States copied and perfected the USSR’s method of artificially inducing sleep from a distance. This was a hundred years ago. It appears the government actually can create zombies by using drugs and radio waves. I am sure after 100 years, the military has perfected all sorts of psychological inventions at their disposal and zombies aren’t a stretch anymore. By using drugs and radio waves they can convince the masses to think they are zombies and carry out what would appear to be a zombie apocalypse. And they admit that academia doesn’t believe it which gives the government a plausible excuse to play around with it. 
 
So, there is proof that the possibility of a mass psychosis zombie apocalypse could be created by the government. But what does this have to do with 5G? In order for the zombie apocalypse to work as a psyop against the people, they would need electromagnetic radiation everywhere the subjects are. If the zombies leave the city and go into the woods, the radio strength would disappear and they would come out of the psychosis. The single needs to be constant and wherever there is a natural faraday cage where the earth’s magnetic field messes with the frequency, they would need to put a 5G light there to boost the signal. The same concept would be for blue lights in odd places. The mass hypnotic trance could be affiliated with the blue led lights and their bizarre locations for the purpose of keeping the panic going.
 
Whether it is 5G or 6G, it doesn’t matter. The signal that they put out is a two way transmission to send and receive data. Perhaps the mRNA shot did have a smart dust self assembling computer and antenna to track the zombies themselves. Luciferase that is purportedly in the vaccine could be the formula to check if someone is a zombie which we already have apps on the cell phone that can scan for it. A zombie apocalypse was theoretically possible to do in the 1990’s as the CIA newspaper revealed. Imagine what they can do now? Perhaps depopulation is on the agenda for the ignorant. Those that chose not to be self aware and inadvertantly took the shot without doing any research. This gives the government an excuse for the outbreak. A way of saying the shot did it but we didn’t force you to take it. That’s on you. And since congress gave big pharma a get out of jail free card, they could use the same logic.
 
Could it happen? Yes. But will it happen? Most likely, no. This is mutally assured destruction. A weapon to threaten and use againt oither countries. A way of saying use the dollar instead of the Yuan or Ruble or we will destroy your country with a zombie apocolypse. Otherwise, why would the government do this to themselves? They create the weapons mainly for leverage and not to use on its citizens although they do test it on them. The economy would crash and the dollar would die if they released it upon themselves. There is no wisdom in that unless the return of their savior is here and demanded depopulation this quickly. Otherwise, the odds of it happening nationwide is low unless Russia or China did it. But that hurts and alienates them thus war would begin and it’s abvious they are not the provocateers here. It’s The United States that is the evil doer whom creates weapons for mafia control.
 
The Travis Scott concert is a good example of the government’s experimentation on mind control using drugs and radio waves. You can’t bring in your own water,so whatever they served there was most likely a cocktail of mind control mixed with radio waves to create the crowd to move wherever they wanted. Ten people died and hundreds wounded. In 1979 11 people died at The WHO concert in Cincinatti. Maybe they had the technology then and were testing it to see if it worked with cell towers this time. This is just speculation as there is no real evidence to point the government to the deaths at concerts, but it would be a good way to prove to your opposition of what you are capable of doing with large crowds. I don’t think it would be far fetched to send a letter to North Korea that we can zombifiy their nation using Elon Musk satellites and spray the cocktail in the air. Just one example of how to use this weapon, if real, as leverage.
 
As scary as all of this may seem, the government has concocted even worse things. They have Tesla technology that can crack the earth in half. We have the ability to create a black hole and can cause a pandemic worse than the black plague. We have the technology to kill ourselves 10x over and psychotic men have tried. You just never heard of it because the plans have been thwarted by acts of god, UFOs or secret service. Even fast depopulation is just too extreme for the sensitive economy so don’t expect masses to start keeling over soon. And how many times have we come close to nuclear war?
 
The Cuban Missile Crisis (1962): This is often considered the closest the world has come to nuclear war. The Soviet Union deployed nuclear missiles to Cuba, leading to a tense standoff with the United States. A miscalculation or a rash decision could have triggered a nuclear exchange.   
 
The 1983 Soviet Nuclear False Alarm: A computer glitch in the Soviet early warning system mistakenly indicated that the United States had launched a nuclear attack. The duty officer, Stanislav Petrov, decided not to report the incident to higher authorities, potentially preventing a nuclear retaliation. 
 
The 1995 Norwegian Rocket Incident: A Russian early warning system mistook a peaceful scientific rocket launch over Norway for a nuclear missile attack. It took several minutes for Russian officials to realize the mistake, avoiding a potential nuclear response.
 
Those are the ones that you were informed about. There have been countless of submarine mishaps and computer glitches that almost led to nuclear war and none of are even aware. That doesn’t include the madmen who have seized Cold War nukes from the USSR creating suitcase nukes. There are over a dozen cases involved in cities almost being blown up. Again, no one knows about and the government will keep it that way. The reason is they want the economy to continue robbing the people and earn for the elite. It will take a calamity to happen without interference and that never happens because in this world there are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason and that is money and power. 
 
The 5G theory of microwaving us due to heavy metals is my favorite conspiracy. No, 5G technology cannot microwave people's insides, even if their bodies were filled with heavy metals.
 
Here's why:
 
Frequency Mismatch: 5G operates on radio frequencies, which are much lower than the frequencies used in microwave ovens. Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves that resonate with the water molecules in food, causing them to heat up. 5G frequencies are too low to have this effect on human tissue.
Power Limitation: Even if 5G frequencies could affect human tissue, the power levels used in 5G networks are far too low to cause significant heating. They are designed to be safe for human exposure.
Heavy Metal Impact: While heavy metals can be harmful to the body, they do not significantly increase a person's susceptibility to electromagnetic radiation. Heavy metal poisoning is a separate health issue that is not related to 5G technology.
 
The idea that 5G technology can microwave people's insides is a harmful conspiracy theory that has no scientific basis.It's important to rely on credible sources of information and avoid spreading misinformation.
 
If this was the case, then anyone in a city standing next to a 5G tower at 30 GHz would get real sick. Since these towers are bolted and not mobile, anybody else walking by would get sick, too. Even if they turn up the frequency. For example, radio towers operating at 100 - 300 GHz haven’t heated up a person’s body enough to claim a public health concern. Same with 5G. It does affect health, don’t get me wrong, but not at extreme measures. For example, 5G is old news. 6G is coming. What happened to all the dead people and zombies due to 5G? We are witnessing oversensualization. If cell towers are the boogie man, then there has to be more harm now than ever. To cover up cell tower damage would be really hard given it’s worldwide. Not that it isn’t possible to cover it up. Just common sense tells me they can turn on switches inside the body for a zombie apocalypse but cannot coin our innards. The hospitals are mostly filled with respiratory illness and heart disease. This isn’t a cell tower issue rather a heavy metal geoengineering and parasite issue. And speaking of, please consider elite potion. Our ingredients cancels the Chemtrails and kills the parasites that cause cancer. 
 
Forbes wrote a good piece debunking 5G and the microwave agenda of the CIA. There might be some illogical psychosomatic effects, that because people believe that the cell site near their home is affecting them it actually is, but in terms of direct medical harm this is a fiction. There is a bit which is almost correct in that there are plans for lots of small cells, but small cells and cell towers are different things. “Small cell tower” is an oxymoron. It’s the mobile phone networks planning the small cell installation not the government, and as for covering the whole country we can only wish that were true.
 
“Of course, there are always detractors for almost any new technology, and health concerns around mobile phones have been a feature for at least 30 years now – still without any proof. For all its flaws, the criticisms levelled here against 5G are, as you’d imagine, rather ridiculous. It’s amusing that to find out more you’re encouraged to visit a website…which most will do using their mobile phone!”
 
Now for all we know, the CIA put Forbes in the position to write that is causes no harm. This would be for the lobbyists who spend millions on campaign contributions to hush up any harmful affects. Sure, they are unnatural and there will be blowback for such technology health wise. But it’s not causing consistent pandemics that can’t be controlled. Only Covid was pointed at and that pandemic is over according to the Biden administration. The earliest known description of cancer dates back to ancient Egypt, around 3000 BC. It was found in the Edwin Smith Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian medical textbook. While the term "cancer" wasn't used specifically, the document describes a tumor and its removal by cauterization.  Cancer isn’t a new disease. Egypt, Greece and Rome all described cancer historically so academia doesn’t believe cancer comes from radio and cell towers. Radiation is apparently harmful to parasites so we can’t put 5G to cancer. 
 
If all cell towers were turned up, they are emitting non-ionizing radiation. This doesn’t split the cells up like a microwave does. It would need the full force of even the satellites but that can’t do enough to char the humans. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t data supporting cell towers and cancer. According to the NIH website: There is evidence for a health risk by RF on humans living around mobile phone base stations: From radiofrequency sickness to cancer.
 
The objective of this work was to perform a complete review of the existing scientific literature to update the knowledge on the effects of base station antennas on humans. Studies performed in real urban conditions, with mobile phone base stations situated close to apartments, were selected. Overall results of this review show three types of effects by base station antennas on the health of people: radiofrequency sickness (RS), cancer (C) and changes in biochemical parameters (CBP). Considering all the studies reviewed globally (n = 38), 73.6% (28/38) showed effects: 73.9% (17/23) for radiofrequency sickness, 76.9% (10/13) for cancer and 75.0% (6/8) for changes in biochemical parameters. Furthermore, studies that did not meet the strict conditions to be included in this review provided important supplementary evidence. The existence of similar effects from studies by different sources (but with RF of similar characteristics), such as radar, radio and television antennas, wireless smart meters and laboratory studies, reinforce the conclusions of this review. Of special importance are the studies performed on animals or trees near base station antennas that cannot be aware of their proximity and to which psychosomatic effects can never be attributed.
 
The World Health Organization has created reports about the effects of 5G. Based on mixed epidemiological evidence on humans regarding an association between exposure to RF radiation from wireless phones and head cancers (glioma and acoustic neuroma), RF fields have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). Studies to date provide no indication that environmental exposure to RF fields, such as from base stations, increases the risk of cancer or any other disease.
 
So it is possible but they won’t make the time to study it. Just like Gemini AI can’t tell me what the cause of cancer is. Even after thousands of years being around. That’s fishy and absurd. So if the cell towers possibly can lead to cancer, could they truly microwave us? If so, it would be a slow death. Nothing like a pandemic. The most plausible answer is we are slowly getting used to electromagnetic radio waves and adapting to it as normal. This means there is health risk but it will eventually go away as we merge with the intrusion. The Bible says in the end of days written by Daniel iron will mix with clay but it will have problems doing so. It would take hundreds of years to adapt to silicon and metal which is why I believe geoengineering is also a form of terraforming for the return of the nephilim. Cell phone towers can be used as a weapon and we have already been experimented on as a show of force to others. Only whistblowers can give us a glimpse into the compartmentalized secrets of the government and their plans for coercion against other countries. But to unleash full force on its own citizens would mean the end of the country as a whole. A last ditch effort to kill them all before the evidence comes into fruition. But that is highly unlikely as America is vast and bigger than the easier European countries to exploit. An operation that big would cost too much and leave the economy in shambles all for BRICS to pick up the pieces. But I doubt the owners of the federal reserve are interested in crashing g our economy and killing us with microwaves and radiation let alone a full on zombie attack. It’s possible but not profitable.

Edgar Allan Poe: First Conspiracy Theorist or Drunk?

Edgar Allan Poe: First Conspiracy Theorist or Drunk?
Edgar Allan Poe born January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849 was an American writer, poet, author, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as a central figure of Romanticism and Gothic fiction in the United States, and of American literature. Poe was one of the country's earliest practitioners of the short story, and is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, as well as a significant contributor to the emerging genre of science fiction. He is the first well-known American writer to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.
EDGAR ALLAN POE has been more misunderstood than any other poet of the recent past. While his life was beautiful and inspired, yet aspersed, his last moments had more of sublimity than those of any of his contemporaries. Throughout his life, Edgar Allan Poe lost the women he loved, including his mother, adoptive mother and wife, many to tuberculosis. Their absence played a huge role in his writing. He married his 14 year old cousin and as offensive as the marriage may be to modern mores, it appears to have been motivated by Poe's understandable desire to unite what little family he had, while his aunt, Maria Clemm—Virginia's mother—consented to the union, and always lived with the couple afterward.
Netflix did a show called the fall of the house of usher which was inspired by Edgar’s book the raven. His story tells a tale of Uber wealthy families and their selling of their soul to the devil. The price they pay doesn’t compare to the huge amount of death that follows the familes’ fortunes. They lose their loved ones but at the cost of millions who fell victim to their fortune. The movie spins hope which isn’t included in the book, about one family member who ends up saving the lives of millions giving the impression that evil and good cancel each other out. I don’t buy it. Edgar was the first recorded conspiracy theorist trying to expose the royal family bloodlines through poetry and short stories. The masses were brainwashed through controlled publications and the only logical way to expose the evil corruption is through code. 
Readers of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous prose and poetry might be unaware of how often he wrote about science. As John Tresch explains in “The Reason for the Darkness of the Night: Edgar Allan Poe and the Forging of American Science,” in the late 1840s, near the end of his life, Poe had established for himself “a unique position as fiction writer, poet, critic, and expert on scientific matters – crossing paths with and learning from those who were producing the ‘apparent miracles’ of modern science.”
Poe exposed pseudoscientific hoaxes – and then, to get his own writing noticed, created them himself. He finally received critical acclaim for his now-classic short stories, among them “The Tell-Tale Heart” (which Tresch describes as “an act of violent irrationality [detailed] in the language of scientific method”) and “The Raven” (which Poe himself proclaimed “the greatest poem that ever was written”). Tresch has painted a full landscape of the journalism of the time, describing the conflicts between writers who made serious scientific observations and those eager to sensationalize or misrepresent new discoveries. “Poe saw his age’s many humbugs and its ‘men of science’ pushing for foolproof forms of scientific authority as secret partners,” writes Tresch. “Together they were establishing the modern matrix of entertainment and science, doubt and certainty. Those who successfully denounced the tricks of charlatans were precisely those with the skills to make themselves believed.”
Speculation and controversy were rife in the press. “In the 1830s and 1840s, the lines between legitimate science, political provocation, and crowd-pleasing quackery were exceedingly difficult to define,” he writes. His descriptions of the way the popular press blended news, entertainment, and hype will remind readers of the media landscape of present-day America, though Tresch himself refrains from explicit comparisons. Poe was also deeply interested in formulating theories about the origins of the universe and the nature of God. Near the end of his life, he wrote a philosophical-scientific treatise called “Eureka,” which has, for reasons that Tresch makes clear, fallen into obscurity. Poe boasted to a friend that “Eureka” was destined to “revolutionize the world of Physical & Metaphysical Science,” but the result was something more confusing than revolutionary. The biographer labels it “a serious mess, a glorious mess, but a mess.”
Despite his success, Poe succumbed to the “perversity” that he believed was built into human nature: When the going got good, he began to sabotage himself. “One of the searing ironies of Poe’s life,” writes Tresch, “was that during this rise to fame, as he developed an ideal of the quasi-omniscient author in total control of the creative process, his life was falling apart – his career, his relationships, and his very mind – a victim of bad luck, alcohol, and self-sabotage.” In the end, the telltale heart of “The Reason for the Darkness of the Night” is this: “Poe’s fantastic tales, detective stories, and nonfiction writings dramatized the act of inquiry and the struggles, fears, hopes, and delusions of the human being undertaking it. His ... search for hidden causes places him at the center of the maelstrom of American science in the first half of the nineteenth century.” Tresch has produced a steady, clever, engaging literary biography that provides an excellent survey of an overlooked aspect of Poe’s writing.
Poe was a warning to all nations about the hidden elite, their pacts with the devil and what their true intentions are. To steal, kill and destroy everything in their path for profit. The love of money is the root of all evil and those that partake become murderers. Not only was Poe a gifted writer, his heart was to expose evil and through wisdom has continued to show the true intent of corporations and countries and their pursuit for world domination and everlasting life in human form to keep their riches. 
Theories abound about Poe’s death, but there has yet to be one that proves definitive—a fittingly mysterious end for the master of mystery.
No subject regarding Edgar Allan Poe ignites as much controversy as his sudden death at the age of forty, which remains shrouded in mystery. What we know is that Poe planned trip from Richmond, Virginia to New York City, during which he traveled by steamer and stopped in Baltimore on September 28, 1849. His actions and whereabouts throughout the next five days are uncertain.
Was Alcohol Involved?
On October 3, 1849, printer Joseph Walker found Poe inside or near Gunner's Hall tavern, and sent a note for J.E. Snodgrass, one of Poe’s acquaintances in Baltimore. Walker described Poe as appearing in "great distress.” Snodgrass noted that the clothes Poe wore looked disheveled and out of place: "he had evidently been robbed of his [own] clothing or cheated in an exchange." Snodgrass and his uncle, Henry Herring, both presumed that Poe was in a drunken state and agreed to send him to Washington College Hospital. Once there, Poe was taken to a room reserved for patients who were ill due to intoxication.Poe lapsed in and out of consciousness for the next few days, and according to Dr. John J. Moran, who questioned Poe about his condition, Poe's answers were incoherent and unsatisfactory. Moran also prevented visitors due to Poe’s “excitable” condition. Moran later noted in a letter to Maria Clemm, Poe’s mother-in-law, that during a period of consciousness, Poe held "vacant converse with spectral and imaginary objects on the walls. His face was pale and his whole person drenched in perspiration." Poe died quietly before sunrise on Sunday, October 7, 1849.It may be logical to assume that alcohol played a role in Poe's death, given that it intermittently surfaced as a negative influence during his adult life. But how does it explain why Poe was wearing somebody else's clothes? Nor does it provide any insight into the circumstances that caused him to be found in such an unfortunate state. 
Was Poe a Victim of Cooping?
One of the most popular theories about Poe’s death stems from the fact that Poe was found on Election Day, and Gunner’s Hall was a polling location. It is possible that on that day, Poe fell victim to cooping, a common method of voter fraud in the 19th century. Cooping victims were kidnapped, drugged or forced to drink, and disguised several times in order to cast several votes. Others have suggested that perhaps Poe was beaten and robbed, or even that he contracted rabies.Theories abound about Poe’s death, but there has yet to be one that proves definitive—a fittingly mysterious end for the master of mystery.
A Deeper Dive into Poe's Hidden Meanings
While Edgar Allan Poe's works often explored dark and mysterious themes, the specific interpretation of "hidden meanings" is subjective and open to various interpretations. 
Many scholars and readers have analyzed Poe's work to uncover deeper meanings related to:
Psychological exploration: Poe often delved into the depths of the human psyche, exploring themes of madness,guilt, and the fear of death. His characters often represent aspects of the human condition, such as the struggle between reason and emotion.
Social commentary: Some argue that Poe's works contain subtle social commentary, reflecting the anxieties and fears of his time. For example, "The Tell-Tale Heart" might be seen as a critique of the oppressive nature of guilt and conscience.
Gothic elements: Poe's stories often employ Gothic elements, such as haunted houses, supernatural beings, and a sense of impending doom. These elements can be interpreted as symbols of the unknown, the irrational, and the forces that threaten our sense of order.
Existential themes: Poe's work often grapples with existential questions about the meaning of life, death, and the nature of reality. His stories can be seen as explorations of the human condition and our search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless universe.
It's important to note that these interpretations are not definitive and can vary depending on the reader's perspective and understanding of Poe's work. Many of Poe's stories can be interpreted in multiple ways, and the "hidden meanings" are often left up to the reader to discover.
Here are some examples of how different readers might interpret Poe's work:
"The Raven": Some interpret this poem as a metaphor for the loss of a loved one and the speaker's descent into madness. Others see it as a commentary on the limitations of human knowledge and understanding.
"The Tell-Tale Heart": Some interpret this story as a psychological exploration of guilt and paranoia. Others see it as a critique of the oppressive nature of conscience.
"The Fall of the House of Usher": Some interpret this story as a metaphor for the decline of a family, society, or civilization. Others see it as an exploration of the power of the imagination and the mind's ability to create its own reality.
Ultimately, the interpretation of hidden meanings in Poe's work is a personal journey that can lead to a deeper understanding of both the author and the stories themselves.
It's likely that Edgar Allan Poe made some people angry during his lifetime. His works often explored dark and controversial themes, and his personal life was marked by controversy and scandal.
Here are some possible reasons why Poe might have made people angry:
His controversial themes: Some of Poe's stories and poems dealt with taboo subjects, such as death, madness, and the supernatural. These themes could have been offensive to some readers and critics.
His personal life: Poe's personal life was marked by controversy and scandal, including his battles with addiction and his involvement in a plagiarism scandal. These controversies may have alienated some people.
His criticism of society: Some of Poe's works contained subtle or overt criticism of society. For example, his story "The Tell-Tale Heart" can be seen as a critique of the oppressive nature of guilt and conscience.
He struggled financially throughout most of his life. His income was primarily derived from writing, and he often had difficulty making ends meet. He frequently relied on loans and advances from publishers to survive.
Edgar Allan Poe's political affiliations were complex and not always consistent. While he was often associated with the Whig party, particularly during his early years, his views were not always aligned with the party's platform.   
Some scholars suggest that Poe's political views were more nuanced and that he may have held anti-democratic, anti-Jacksonian, and even proslavery sentiments. However, these interpretations are often based on limited evidence and can be debated.   
 
Ultimately, Poe's political views remain a subject of scholarly debate, and there is no definitive consensus on his affiliation. His work, however, provides some clues about his thoughts on society, politics, and human nature.
 
Based on the limited information available about Edgar Allan Poe's political views, it's difficult to say definitively what he believed in. However, some scholars suggest that he may have held the following beliefs:
 
Anti-democratic: Poe's work often expressed a distrust of democracy and a preference for a more hierarchical social order.
Anti-Jacksonian: Poe may have been opposed to the policies of Andrew Jackson, a populist Democrat who was president during Poe's lifetime.
Proslavery: While there is no explicit evidence of Poe's support for slavery, some scholars have suggested that his views may have been influenced by the prevailing attitudes of his time and region.
 
Edgar Allan Poe's work explores a wide range of themes, but some recurring motifs include:
 
Death and loss: Many of Poe's works deal with the themes of death and loss, often exploring the psychological impact of these events on individuals.
Madness and the supernatural: Poe's stories often delve into the realms of madness and the supernatural,exploring the boundaries between reality and the unknown.
The macabre and the grotesque: Poe's work is often characterized by its macabre and grotesque imagery, which can be unsettling and disturbing.
The human psyche: Poe was deeply interested in the human psyche and often explored the darker aspects of human nature, such as guilt, fear, and obsession.
The limitations of human knowledge and understanding: Many of Poe's works explore the limitations of human knowledge and understanding, suggesting that there are aspects of the world that we cannot fully comprehend.
 
It's difficult to say definitively what Poe was trying to achieve with his work. However, it's clear that he was interested in exploring the darker side of the human experience and challenging traditional notions of reality. His stories often raise profound questions about the nature of existence, the human psyche, and the limitations of human knowledge.
 
A Deep Dive into Poe's Cryptic Codes
 
While there's no definitive evidence of a hidden government or societal code within Poe's writings, his works do contain complex linguistic patterns and symbolic imagery that can be interpreted in various ways.
 
Poe was a master of language, and his works often demonstrate a deep understanding of literary devices and techniques.These include:
 
Symbolism: Poe frequently employs symbolic imagery to represent deeper meanings. For example, the raven in his poem of the same name can be interpreted as a symbol of loss, grief, and the irrational.
Alliteration and assonance: Poe's use of alliteration and assonance creates a musical and rhythmic quality to his writing, often enhancing the emotional impact of his poems.
Repetition: Poe often repeats words, phrases, or images, creating a sense of emphasis and reinforcing key themes.
 
While these linguistic patterns can be interpreted in various ways, there's no clear evidence that they constitute a hidden code related to government or societal structures. Poe's works are primarily focused on exploring the human psyche and the supernatural, rather than on conveying secret messages or exposing hidden agendas.
 
It's important to note that while there are no definitive codes within Poe's writings, his work has been the subject of much speculation and analysis. Some readers have proposed that Poe may have hidden secret messages or ciphers within his works, but these claims have not been substantiated.
 
While Poe's writings contain complex linguistic patterns and symbolic imagery, there's no clear evidence of a hidden government or societal code. His works are primarily focused on exploring the human psyche and the supernatural, and any interpretations of hidden meanings are speculative.
 
Conspiracy theorists often interpret Edgar Allan Poe's work as a series of coded messages or warnings about secret societies, hidden agendas, or government conspiracies. They may point to specific passages or symbols in his stories and poems as evidence of his involvement in or knowledge of these secret plots.
 
Some common conspiracy theories related to Poe include:
 
Secret societies: Some theorists believe that Poe was a member of or had knowledge of secret societies like the Freemasons or the Illuminati. They may cite references to secret symbols or rituals in his work as evidence.
Hidden messages: Conspiracy theorists often claim that Poe's work contains hidden messages or ciphers that reveal secret information about government conspiracies or the true nature of reality.
Government involvement: Some theorists believe that Poe was involved in or had knowledge of government conspiracies, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy. They may point to specific references in his work as evidence.
 
It's important to note that these are just a few examples of conspiracy theories related to Edgar Allan Poe, and there are many other variations. These theories are often based on speculative interpretations of Poe's work and have not been substantiated by any credible evidence.
 
Here are a few examples of conspiracy theories related to Edgar Allan Poe:
 
Illuminati Connection: Some theorists believe that Poe was a member of the Illuminati, a secret society that allegedly controls world events. They point to references to secret symbols and rituals in his work as evidence.
Hidden Messages: Conspiracy theorists often claim that Poe's work contains hidden messages or ciphers that reveal secret information about government conspiracies or the true nature of reality. For example, some believe that the poem "The Raven" contains a hidden code that references the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
Government Involvement: Some theorists believe that Poe was involved in or had knowledge of government conspiracies, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy. They may point to specific references in his work, such as the mention of a "secret service" in the story "The Tell-Tale Heart," as evidence.
Time Traveler: A more outlandish theory suggests that Poe was a time traveler from the future who was sent back to the past to warn people about future events. They point to references to advanced technology or unusual events in his work as evidence.
 
Here are a few famous quotes from Edgar Allan Poe:
 
"I am an artist. I am not a politician."
"I am a man of paradoxes."
"Beauty is the province of the soul."
"The only true paradise is the one we make for ourselves."
"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
"I am a man of mystery."
"I am a man of contradictions."
"I am a man of sorrows."
"I am a man of many faces."
"I am a man of many names."
“Believe nothing of what you read and only half of what you see”
 
Did Edgar Allan Poe have the power to travel through time. It’s not just the well-known circumstances of his life—orphaned at birth, father of the mystery novel, master of cryptology, maestro of the macabre. Nor am I referring to the head-scratching details of his death, how he was found in a gutter wearing someone else’s clothes, babbling incoherently about an unidentified man named “Reynolds.” And I won’t even get into the confounding reports of a nameless figure who, for seven decades, would show up to Poe’s gravesite on the early hours of his birthday, dressed in black with a glass of cognac and three roses.
 
Curious and tragic, yes, but hardly evidence that the acclaimed horror writer could transcend the limits of space and time. No, my time travel theory concerns the author’s creative output, which you’ll soon see, is so flukishly prophetic as to make my outlandish claim seem plausible—nay, probable!
 
The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is a loosely linked map of flesh-eating floaters, crunched skull-survivors, and primordial particles. OK, here we go…
 
Written in 1837, Poe’s only completed novel details a mutiny on a whaling ship lost at sea. Out of supplies, the men revert to cannibalism, drawing straws to elect a sacrifice. A boy named Richard Parker draws the shortest straw and is subsequently eaten.
 
Now here’s where it gets weird(er): In 1884, forty-six years later after the novel’s publication, four men would be set adrift following the sinking of their yacht. Shipwrecked and without food, they too would go the survival cannibalism route, electing to kill and eat a 17-year-old cabin boy. The boy’s name: Richard Parker.
 
The extraordinary parallel went unnoticed for nearly a century, until a widely-circulated letter from a descendant of the real Parker outlined the similarities between the novel’s scene and the actual event. The letter was selected for publication in The Sunday Times after the journalist Arthur Koestler put out a call for tales of “striking coincidence.” Striking indeed…
 
In 1848, a railroad worker named Phineas Gage suffered a traumatic brain injury after taking an iron spike through the skull. Somehow he survived, though his personality would change drastically. These behavioral changes were closely studied, allowing the medical community to develop the first understanding of the role played by the frontal lobe on social cognition.
 
Except for Poe, who’d inexplicably understood the profound personality changes caused by frontal lobe syndrome for nearly a decade. In 1840, he penned a characteristically gruesome story called “The Businessman” about an unnamed narrator who suffers a traumatic head injury as a young boy, leading to a life of obsessive regularity and violent, sociopathic outbursts.
 
Poe’s grasp of frontal lobe syndrome is so precise that neurologist Eric Altshuler writes, “There’s a dozen symptoms and he knows every single one…There’s everything in that story, we’ve hardly learned anything more.” Altshuler, who, to reiterate, is a medically-licensed neurologist and not at all a crackpot, goes on to say, “It’s so exact that it’s just weird, it’s like he had a time machine.”
 
Still unconvinced? What if I told you that Poe predicted the origins of the universe eighty years before modern science would begin to formulate the Big Bang theory? Surely, an amateur stargazer with no formal training in cosmology could not accurately describe the machinery of the universe, rejecting widely-held inaccuracies while solving a theoretical paradox that had bewildered astronomers since Kepler. Except that’s exactly what he happened.
 
The prophetic vision came in the form of Eureka, a 150-page prose poem critically panned for its complexity and regarded by many as the work of a madman. Written in the final year of the author’s life, Eureka describes an expanding universe that began in “one instantaneous flash” derived from a single “primordial particle.”
 
Poe goes on to put forth the first legitimate solution Olber’s paradox—the question of why, given the vast number of stars in the universe, the night sky is dark—by explaining that light from the expanding universe had not yet reached our solar system. When Edward Robert Harrison published Darkness at Night in 1987, he credited Eureka as having anticipated his findings.
 
In an interview with Nautilus, Italian astronomer Alberto Cappi speaks of Poe’s prescience, admitting, “It’s surprising that Poe arrived at his dynamically evolving universe, because there was no observational or theoretical evidence suggesting such a possibility. No astronomer in Poe’s day could imagine a non-static universe.”
 
But what if Poe wasn’t of a day at all, but of of all the days? What if his written prophecies—on the cannibalistic demise of Richard Parker, the symptoms of frontal lobe syndrome, and the Big Bang—were merely reportage from his journey through the extratemporal continuum?
 
Surely I sound like a tin-foil capped loon, but maybe, maybe, there are many more prophecies scattered throughout the author’s work, a possibility made all the more likely by the fact that, as The New York Times notes, “Poe was so undervalued for so long, there is not a lot of Poe-related material around.”
 
Was he a Freemason?
 
Edgar Allan Poe's relationship with Freemasonry is somewhat complex and has been the subject of speculation. While he is known to have had some connections to Masonic circles through his family and acquaintances, there is no definitive evidence that he was openly opposed to Freemasonry as an institution.
 
Reasons for Speculated Opposition:
 
Personal Experiences: Poe had a tumultuous life filled with personal and professional struggles, including financial instability and conflicts with other writers and editors. Some biographers suggest that his negative experiences with certain individuals who were Masons may have colored his views.
Literary Critique: In some of his works, Poe critiques institutions and social structures, which could extend to organizations like the Freemasons. His views on secret societies may reflect a broader skepticism about the influence of such groups on society.
Themes of Isolation: Much of Poe's writing explores themes of isolation and alienation, which could be interpreted as a critique of exclusive social organizations, including the Masons. His characters often grapple with feelings of being outsiders, which might resonate with his views on such groups.
Masonic Symbolism in His Work: Some scholars argue that Poe’s use of Masonic symbols and themes in his stories could indicate a fascination with or critique of the organization rather than outright opposition. This duality complicates the interpretation of his stance.
 
In summary, while there are indications that Poe may have had a complicated relationship with Freemasonry, there is no clear evidence that he was explicitly opposed to it. Much of what is suggested is based on interpretation of his life experiences and literary themes rather than documented opposition.
 
Poe wasn’t opposed to Freemasonry. As a social fraternity, he did reference it - famously - in The Cask of Amontillado, which was written only 3 years before his untimely death.
 
There was a political movement - the Anti-Masonic party - that was “sort-of” active during his lifetime, but he wasn’t ever listed as being part of it, nor was he particularly political.
There’s no record of Poe ever joining - or even applying to - the fraternity. Interestingly, though, conspiracy nutbags seem to like to tell a story about Poe being rejected for membership because he was a drunk.
 
That’s not really a reason for rejection.
 
Destitution, on the other hand, is - and history indicates that Poe was the first writer to ever make a living solely as a writer. He was a poet. As a writer who makes his money as a writer, I can tell you that being a poet isn’t the best choice if a writer is shooting for anything even close to solvency. If a man is going to end up being a burden on the Lodge, then he is usually politely told that he was rejected for membership.
 
But, again, there’s no record of Poe being rejected for membership.
 
Edgar Allan Poe vigorously denounced the Jeffersonian ideal of democracy. He had no sympathy with abstract political notions such as those which had produced liberal republican theory in America and elsewhere. Like Edmund Burke, Poe was highly suspicious of the “well-constructed Republic.”
 
In 1839, for example, the editor Rufus Griswold, who would later feature as perhaps Poe's most famous enemy, and New England poet Park Benjamin revolutionized American periodicals by launching cheap literary magazines, the Brother Jonathan and New World.
 
But was he the first conspiracy theorist? Maybe we can find some clues here.
 
Poe's Argument against Utopia 
 
Introduction
 
Poe's reaction to perfectibility theory reflects predilections deeper than just an intellectual stance. Because of his psychic drive toward self-alienation, he mistrusted on an instinctual level all forms of society. This bias manifested itself variously, from his well-documented dislike of politicians to the abundance of misanthropes scattered through his fiction. For example, the narrator in “The Man of the Crowd” dismisses with almost a sneer the mania of his subject, suggesting a moral in keeping with the tale's motto by La Bruyère: “Ce grand malheur, de ne pouvoir être seul.”(1) Consequently, Poe could not agree with philosophers such as Condorcet because they dealt with civilization, whereas he would rather ignore society and instead analyze the relationship between man and universe. 
 
One aspect of Poe's social reticence evident in his [page 39:] writings is a counter-utopian element. He pursues similar themes in three short stories: “The Devil in the Belfry,” “The Masque of the Red Death,” and “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.” All three works present an enclosed society, seemingly- utopian in character, but each is doomed by some inherent fallacy.(2) As Hawthorne tried to do in The Blithedale Romance, Poe may have intended to comment on the social experiments of his day. Undoubtedly Poe opposed such communities. In his 1845 response to the review of The “Raven” and Other Poems in The Harbinger, Poe labeled the editors, who were associated with Brook Farm, as “respectable Crazy-ites.” He dismissed the reviewer's comments as “all leather and prunella,” hoping “that, in future, ‘The Snook Farm Phalanx’ will never have any opinion of us at all.”(3) Although his quarrel concerned literary matters, Poe's tone indicates that his dissatisfaction had a more fundamental basis — so deep-rooted that he could never agree with any conclusion drawn from such an experimental culture. 
 
Here, though, one critical difficulty arises: Poe's perfectionists probably would have disapproved of utopian communities. For example, Priestley believed that rapid [page 40:] change would achieve little lasting affect.(4) Also, perfectibility theory predicts large-scale social improvements. For proof the perfectionists analyzed the rise and fall of major civilizations throughout history; projects of the size of a Brook Farm or Fruitlands would be beneath their notice. Condorcet envisioned that the political advances in revolutionary France would affect the world.(5) 
 
On the other hand, nineteenth-century utopian communities for the most part retreated from the main current of American history. Thus, to perfectionist theory these communities would represent only isolated, insignificant variations that ultimately failed to promote the general condition of the human race. 
 
Nonetheless, Poe's treatment of utopias in his fiction has partial origins in his views on perfectibility. In one sense, the societies in “The Devil in the Belfry,” “The Masque of the Red Death,” and “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether” demonstrate at least one aspect of perfection in microcosm. Using both comic and Gothic motifs, Poe traces an ironic downfall in each case — a degeneration based upon the principle he elaborated in Eureka: “In the Original Unity of the First Thing lies the Secondary Cause of All Things, with [page 41:]the Germ of their Inevitable Annihilation.”(6) 
 
As the beauty of the universe must end in-nothingness, so societies — regardless of how perfect in conception — must eventually fail: moreover, the cause of their destruction will be internally spawned. Thus, in exposing the imperfections of small-scale cultures, Poe demonstrates the pitfalls for larger civilizations Likewise, since utopians pretend to goals similar to those of the perfectionists, Poe's fictional treatment of one has implications for the other. In essence, then, perfectibility theory flounders because all things, including perfection, cannot be sustained. Even if the “rapt day-dreams of De Staël” become reality, they would be short-lived and, consequently, meaningless. For Poe, civilization always returns to some previous wretched point-in the cycle of history. 
 
“The Devil in the Belfry”
 
In his comic tale “The Devil in the Belfry” Poe attacks utopia's delicate balance. The community of Vondervotteimittis incorporates various social infrastructures that make it appear ideal. Its demography has a mathematical regularity. In a “perfectly circular valley,” sixty dwellings are equally interspaced along a quarter-mile circumference that defines the town's border. Each home lies sixty yards from the center of [page 42:] the circle. The repetition of the number sixty implies minutes and seconds, suggesting that one important symbol in the story will be time. 
 
Vondervotteimittis itself seems laid out according to an algebraic formula in which time is a key variable. Poe supports this theme by placing “a circular path, a sun-dial, and twenty-four cabbages” — obviously alluding to the number of hours in a day — in each domestic garden.(7) 
 
Poe follows the clock-like precision of the town's layout with other uniformities. For example “[t]he buildings themselves are so precisely alike, that one in no manner be distinguished from the other.”(8) Constructed of red bricks with black ends, the outside walls resemble “chess-boards] upon a great scale.” Poe continues the geometric pattern inside each dwelling with square-tiled floors. All objects — indoors and out — seem positioned to fulfill some role in perpetuating the town's limited perspectives and purpose.(9) 
 
Perhaps proposing in jest a relationship between [page 43:] physical stature and moral character, Poe inflates the girth of the town's citizens: in each home all are corpulent, from the head of the house to the tabby cat. In fact, the higher a villager's social status, the facter he will become. Above the average citizen are the members of the “Town-Council [who] are all very little, round, oily, intelligent men, with big saucer eyes and fat double chins.”(10) The most exalted official of the town is the belfry-man, whose “stomach [is] very far bigger — than those of any other old gentlemen in the village; and as to his chin, it is not only double, but triple. “(11) 
The belfry-man's function is to tend the great clock located atop the council building in the center of the village. The clock's seven faces indicate the seven days of the week.(12) In the memory of the oldest inhabitant of the town, the clock has never malfunctioned, nor has anything changed in vondervotteimittis. This stagnation owes itself to the town philosophy, articulated in the council's three resolutions: 
 
“That it is wrong to alter the good old course of things:” [sic] 
“That there is nothing tolerable out of Vondervotteimittis:” [page 44:]
and — 
“That we will stick by our clocks and our cabbages.”(13) 
 
The narrator of the tale claims that the Dutch borough was once “the finest place in the world.” It has all the earmarks of the ideal: it is isolated from the terrors of the rest of civilization; it has physical and social structures that are intricately balanced, and its citizens are content with their condition. The philosophy of intransigence dooms the town, however. Anything from the outside world — that is, anything new — must disrupt the social machinery. Consequently, when a devilish-looking man invades the town from the east, attacks the clock keeper and causes the perfect clock to strike thirteen at noon, public harmony irrevocably shatters.(14) 
Critical interpretation of the tale reveals several facets of Poe's quarrel with the perfectionists. Whereas Condorcet believed that no limitations existed for the perfectibility of man, Poe saw boundaries in such perfection, characterizing them as anti-intellectual, artistically confining and morally stagnant. He based this assessment on the notion that social perfection entails a fixed social order. Poe regarded this balance as being so precarious that no growth can be permitted, for any new idea would tilt the scales of [page 45:] public harmony. No society can exist free from outside influences, however. Even if the perfectionists achieved their ideals on a planetary scale, Poe would still argue that external forces could upset civilization. In “The Conversation of Eiros and Charmion,” for example, a cosmological cataclysm intervenes into the affairs of men, as a comet destroys the earth. Thus, in describing Vondervotteimittis, Poe projects his conception of the logical consequence of human progress theory: by exposing the town's internal flaw, he demonstrates allegorically the fallacies contained in perfectionist assumptions. 
 
“The Masque of the Red Death”
 
Prospero's world in “The Masque of the Red Death” bears striking similarities to Vondervotteimittis. Both cultures pursue voluntary isolation from the outside world. Both have an omnipresent enemy. To defend against this antagonist, each constructs a philosophy in which alienation becomes a virtue. As a physical and intellectual defense mechanism, though, alienation fails, for its practical foundation is unsubstantial. In adopting such a tenuous belief, then, the two societies in effect promote their own dissolution, especially in light of the stealth and inexorableness of their chosen enemies. [page 46:]
 
Prospero's enemy is death.(15) His foe assumes death's most extreme form, a plague that claims its victims with the rapidity of wildfire. Characterized by intense pain, nausea and epidermal bleeding, the “Red Death” has already claimed half the kingdom's population as the tale opens. In confining himself and a thousand followers “to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys,” Prospero flees on a literal level from horrible death, but on a symbolic one he tries to escape all death, suggesting a desire to live forever.(16) Interestingly, in his writings on human progress, Condorcet courts the same notions in his discussion on the advances of medicine: 
 
Although he did not target the French philosopher's views specifically in the tale, the similarity between Poe's reaction to perfectibility and the moral of “Masque” demonstrates the remarkable consistency of his intellectual stance with his artistry. 
 
Unlike Vondervotteimittis's geological barricade, Prospero protects himself with man-made structures: high walls, iron gates and welded entrances. He adopts a philosophy, though, that resemble's the town council's resolution: 
 
... With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the “Red Death.”(18) 
 
The resemblance between the societies in “Masque” and [page 48:] “Belfry” continues in Poe's use of time symbolism. Both cultures are mesmerized by the chiming of a clock.(19) The inhabitants of Prospero's palance fall hourly into catatonic trances: “And the revel went whirlingly on, until at length there commensed the sounding of midnight upon the clock. And then the music ceased, as I have told; and the evolutions of the waltzers were quieted; and there was an uneasy cessation of all things as before.”(20) 
 
Although Vondervotteimittis's great clock had seven faces to ensure that no villager could escape its influence, the chimes of Prospero's clock pervade seven rooms. The significance of the number sevenbecomes apparent in Poe's imaginative panorama of the abbatial floor plan. Critics have maintained that each chamber represents a chronological life-stage.(21) The seventh compartment is decorated in red and black — obviously symbolic of death. Although the other chambers are well-occupied, few people stray into the last room — in fact, on the fatal day of the masquerade, the cell is uninhabited, as if man was not meant to enter voluntarily. [page 49:] 
 
When the grisly apparition of the Red Death materializes, Prospero pursues it from the .first room through to the sixth. On the threshold of the last, death claims the prince. Symbolically, therefore, the universe limits man's development as a species to the sixth stage of life. Correspondingly, Poe mentions that Prospero schedules the masquerade “five or six months after his seclusion,” indicating that the self-imprisoned society could not last a seventh month.(22) 
 
As Poe uses them, the numbers six and sevensuggest biblical associations. The week symbolically represented by time elements in “Belfry” becomes in “Masque” the biblical week of creation. Traditional interpretation of Genesis ascribes denotations of perfection to seven. Because he was created on the sixth day, man perpetually lies one step short of that perfection. For Prospero, then, his human limitations dictate that his corporeal existence cannot enter death's room. Implicitly, Poe suggests that man's only chance for perfectibility is in death. 
 
Prospero fears death, however. He creates a superficial utopia to stave it off, yet his bizarre imagination designs the stimulus to his destruction — the macabre chamber in which the Red Death conquers. 
 
In his attempt to lock death outside his world, Prospero only accentuates its effects, for the inhabitants [page 50:] take painful note of each hour's passing.(23) In the enclosed utopia a horrible death becomes more horrible. Whereas the external world has resolved itself to the presence of the Red Death, Prospero's society believes that the disease no longer poses a threat; so when the final cataclysm befalls, three more psychological effects augment the already grisly list of symptoms: surprise, panic and astonishment. Also, in the barricaded castle the malady infects all, an attrition rate twice that experienced by the external world. By its own design, therefore, Prospero's carefully architected universe collapses ironically from within. 
 
“The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether”
 
“The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether” touches upon the connection between social progress and cultural order. The first of two utopian societies described by Poe in the tale can be observed in the principles behind the “soothing system” as elaborated by Monsieur Maillard, who stresses the liberty permitted the psychiatric patients under such treatment methods.(24) The ideal humanity that underlies the soothing system inspires admiration in the dim-witted narrator, so much [page 51:] so that he feels compelled to visit the institution when in the vicinity. Upon arriving, he discovers that the most progressive program of dealing with the insane in the country has been dismantled; later he learns that the beneficiaries of the system — the inmates — had taken advantage of the permissive atmosphere by revolting against their benefactors.(25) 
 
Given that he chose to locate the asylum in France, Poe may have intended to analyze by allegory why the ancien regime failed. Many historians in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries suggest that one cause for the French Revolution was the monarchy's attempt to promote public welfare: with each small success, popular expectations of the government rose — eventually so fast that Louis XVI could not keep up with demands, thereby instigating the revolution in 1789.(26) In “Tarr and Fether” these reforms in pre-revolutionary France become the soothing system. In context of Poe's political conservatism, the soothing system must fail — as did the ancien regime — because it grants too much freedom to the “mob.”(27) Without adequate authority society falls [page 52:]victim to the unscrupulous. Thus, for Poe altruism by authority only results in social disorder. 
 
Poe continues the French Revolution allegory with Monsieur Maillard's mad reign of the Maison de Santé. The lunacy of Maillard's anarchic society burlesques Robespiere's Reign of Terror. Even the guillotine has a fictional equivalent in the tarring and feathering of the keepers. At the dinner table each inmate pursues to the full his or her peculiar individuality, resulting in a chaotic social structure. Consequently, when their keepers free themselves and counter-revolt, the patients have no defense other than to flee. Their escape is mental, however, for each retreats to some form of schizophrenia such as crowing or spinning. 
 
Resembling many aspects of the weakly constructed communities in “Masque”(28) and “Belfry,” the society in “Tarr and Fether” is utopian in the eyes of its members. As Maillard explains: “Fact — it all came to pass by means of a stupid fellow — a lunatic — who, by some means, had taken it into his head that he had invented a better system of government than ever heard of before — of lunatic government, I mean.”(29) As [page 53:] prosperity begot obesity in Vondervotteimittis, Maillard too is portly, suggesting that overindulgence figures in his social status; both he and the keeper of the belfry are the fattest members of their communities, reflecting their leadership. Until the narrator arrives, the inmates have had no dealings with outsiders, parelleling the villager's xenophobia in “Belfry” and Prospero's precautions against the Red Death. This isolation is supported by food and wine stores, recalling Prospero's provisions for his abbey. Eventually, though, the “Tarr and Fether” inmates must exhaust their supplies. Because their seclusion cannot endure, their mad utopia of self-gratification is fore-doomed. The patients themselves secure their own overthrow. 
 
Although he knows that exposure involves risks, Maillard invites the narrator to enter. At the dinner table all the inmates commit Freudian slips that threaten to expose their identities. Ultimately, Maillard parades the details of the takeover before the narrator, who is too dense to surmise the truth. Because all the patients attend the party, moreover, they allow the unguarded keepers to effect an escape and thereby to resecure the institution. The yells of the attendants-both during and after their captivity — frighten the madmen into temporary mental withdrawals, a response similar to that caused by the tolling clocks in Vondervotteimittis and Prospero's [page 54:] castle.(30) The narrator of “Tarr and Fether” describes the scene: 
 
... when the point was very effectively and suddenly accomplished by a series of loud screams, or yells, from some portion of the main body of the château. 
 
My nerves were very much affected, indeed, by these yells; but the rest of the company I really pitied. I never saw any set of reasonable people so thoroughly frightened in my life. They all grew pale as so many corpses, and shrinking within their seats, sat quivering and gibbering with terror, and listening for a repetition of the sound. It came again — louder and seemingly nearer-and then a third time very loud, and then a fourth time with a vigor evidently diminished. At this apparent dying away of the noise, the spirits of the company were immediately regained, and all was life and anecdote as before ... (31) 
Each shout represents another knell against Maillard's doomed society. For Poe its fall demonstrates the inevitable hazards of excessive liberty. 
 
Conclusion
 
The common themes among the works analyzed above provide ample evidence of Poe's quarrel with utopian experiments. Considering the possibility that “Tarr and Fether” comically allegorizes French revolutionary culture, critical interpretation of the counter-utopian motif has simultaneous implications for Poe's view of perfectibility theory, because the five [page 55:] philosophers upon which he based his definition either anticipate, celebrate or react to the overthrow of unpopular regimes in America and France.
 
If Poe was a conspiracy theorist and tried to uncover the bloodline rituals and the fakery of ethos with parties to divide and conquer, then his writings were for the tiny few who were awake to begin with. Only the critical thinkers and data crunchers that can read between the lines. I believe Poe was against the aristocracy bloodlines and tried to expose them without getting murdered. Telling poems and tales of fiction gives him plausible deniability but since he died at 40 under a mysterious death, one could assume he wasn’t careful enough.

Morgellons Disease, Nano Smart & Motes Dust

Morgellons Disease, Nano Smart & Motes Dust
Morgellons Disease is a multi-system condition characterized by novel skin manifestations and insidious neurological and other systemic symptoms. The distinguishing characteristic of Morgellons is the presence of microscopic subcutaneous fibers. Lighted microscopy (60x) enables the visualization of these unusual fibers, often colored red, blue, white or clear, embedded in open skin lesions as well as their presence beneath completely intact skin. Research has determined that the filaments and shed materials are products of epithelial cells which are outer and inner layers of skin and are composed of collagen and keratin.
Intense itching*
Crawling sensations under the skin
Spontaneously–appearing, slow-healing lesions*
Seed-like objects/ granules and black specks on/in skin
“Fuzz balls” on/in intact skin
Fine, thread like colored fibers beneath and/or extruding from the skin
Life altering fatigue
Neurological impairment
Visual and hearing changes
Brain fog and diminished higher cognitive abilities
Hair loss
GI changes
Muscle aches and joint pain
General malaise; intense, life-impacting pain
Dental deterioration
Sleep disturbances
Psychiatric manifestations can include anxiety, depression, new onset of panic attacks, changes in behavior and personality. Some patients have been diagnosed with OCD, bipolar disorder and even delusional disorders can result if left untreated.
Morgellons disease (MD) is a disfiguring and perplexing skin condition associated with spirochetal infection and tick-borne illness. Sure it is. There is no single established cure for Morgellons disease, but regular follow-up with a physician along with treatment of any associated conditions such as anxiety or depression may help.
Morgellons is a syndrome where people feel like something is right under their skin, or trying to come out of it. People who have the disorder will describe pulling “fibers” and other tiny objects like “specks, granules, dots, worms, sand, eggs, fuzz balls and larvae” through their skin. This can leave lesions and scars on their body.
What the NIH and WebMD won’t tell you is that they move inside the person and appear to have a life of its own. The first case was finally reported back in 2001 as a real condition. This disease was spoken about in the 80’s and 90’s through the truther movement as some sort of darpa experiment and in the ufo community as alien in nature. The medical industry explained it off for dozens of years as a mental disorder while sufferers were ridiculed and mocked for an imaginary disease. Oklahoma State University did a study in 2023 which their results indicate the presence of multiple pathogenic organisms found in dermatological specimens, suggesting an infectious etiology of the dermopathy is present.
There were a lot of rumors that smart dust was the culprit. Smartdust is a system of many tiny microelectromechanical systems such as sensors, robots, or other devices, that can detect, for example, light, temperature, vibration, magnetism, or chemicals. The goal of the Smart Dust project is to build a millimeter-scale sensing and communication platform for a massively distributed sensor network. This was a common platform backin the 2000’s and teens as we heard story after story about Morgelons. Technology has advanced to nanotube magentic connection where an entire computer can be injected into a human being making them their own MAC address and wifi router, which is what is believed to be in the mRNA experiment shot of the century. I believe morgellons was the government spraying smart dust on people to run and manage tests for graphene and skin almagamation.
The government and military has been using all of us as experiments since the beginning. Hundreds of freedom of information act documents prove so with little accountability. Morgellons seemed to just disappear all of a sudden. In fact, cases started to drop dramatically after the Covid vaccine release. It’s as if the human testing lasted its course and what we are left with is Bill Gates’ computer chip that assembles itself together and reports your vitals to the NSA. Remember folks, nothing is free. Morgellons was the side affects of mixing iron with clay. The beginning disease of transhumanism.
The exact number of confirmed cases of Morgellons disease is difficult to determine.
Due to the controversial nature of the condition and the lack of a definitive diagnosis, many cases may go unreported or misdiagnosed.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducted a study in 2012 that involved 115 people with Morgellons. However, the study did not identify a specific cause or pathogen.   
The scientific community is divided on the existence of Morgellons disease as a distinct medical condition. Some researchers believe it is a psychological disorder, while others suggest it may be a physical illness. 
Delusional parasitosis is a condition in which a person has a fixed, false belief that they are infected by an organism despite evaluation not showing an infection to be present. This is also called delusional infestation. Morgellons disease is a form of delusional parasitosis.
Delusional parasitosis is a condition in which people firmly believe that they're infested by parasites, mites, worms or other organisms even though a physical examination by a healthcare professional doesn't support this idea. The condition also is called delusional infestation.
One form of delusional parasitosis is Morgellons disease. Symptoms of Morgellons disease include the feeling that fibers are emerging from the skin. People with this condition often report feeling as if something is crawling on or stinging their skin. The intense itching and sores that come with delusional infestation can severely interfere with quality of life.
 
One of the largest studies of Morgellons disease was done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2012. It found that the condition isn't caused by an infection or parasites.
 
This CDC study involved 115 people with Morgellons, which the CDC refers to as an unexplained dermatopathy. The study showed that most of the fibers in the skin sores could be explained by repeated itching and contamination by fabric fibers rather than fibers emerging from the skin. The study also noted that the condition is most often seen in middle-aged white women. The study found that the symptoms of Morgellons disease are very similar to those of a mental illness involving false beliefs about infestation by parasites. This condition is called delusional infestation. A 2012 European study of delusional infestation came to a similar conclusion. The study included a subset of people with Morgellons disease.
 
Small research studies have tried to determine the cause of and effective treatment for Morgellons disease. But there is still no proven guidance on diagnosis and treatment. Further study is needed.
 
The mainstream scientific consensus is that Morgellons disease is a form of delusional infestation. Some studies have suggested using the term Morgellons disease as it carries less stigma and may help forge a better patient-doctor relationship. Treatment may involve mental health therapy and medicine for delusions, anxiety or depression.
 
According to the university of Oklahoma, Morgellons disease (MD) is a multisystem infectious disease historically viewed as controversial and poorly understood by the medical community. These contentions involve difficulties in diagnosis, as symptoms of MD have similarities consistent with a psychiatric disorder involving the false beliefs of infestation by parasites, also known as delusional parasitosis or delusional infestation. Currently, the factors determining the etiology and transmission of MD are still unknown and the dispute surrounding Morgellons is substantial. MD doesn’t discriminate – it affects people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. In MD patients, a distinct feature of near-microscopic and microscopic fibers is visual within the dermopathy, possessing unique characterizations and formations within the cutaneous and subcutaneous layers of the skin. These unique fibers are spontaneous and consist of a multitude of colors. Although the color of fibers is not fully understood, fiber-like filaments are perceived to be caused by an overproduction of keratin and collagen, with blue filaments containing granules of melanin. However, analysis from past research has given mixed results from unknown to keratin. Other signs and symptoms of MD include crawling sensations on and under the skin, intense itching, severe fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and behavioral effects. 
 
The aim of this study is to investigate if an infectious etiology of the systemic dermatoses is present. Previous research endeavors suggest MD is a disorder associated with a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. A pathogenic spirochete and the causative agent of Lyme disease (LD), transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis). MD studies are currently focused on spirochetes as the causative agent to understand if a coinfection exists and/or multifactorial etiology is a cohort. Recognition of the potential coexistence of multiple pathogens in MD etiology may stimulate the development of novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, allowing multiple diagnostic approaches to be applied simultaneously to detect for the major pathogens in MD. 
 
Epithelial tissue samples are collected and deidentified for DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is performed using specially designed primers to detect if Bartonella henselae, Borrelia burgdorferi, Helicobacter pylori, and Treponema denticola are present. After amplification, PCR products are visualized on a 1-2% agarose gel, stained with SYBR Safe, and visualized on the GelDoc Imager. Positive bands are excised and purified from gels using chemical and centrifugal measures. Eluted DNA is quantified using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer and then sent to OSU’s core facility for Sanger Sequencing. Bioinformatic tools are implemented, and nucleotide sequences interpreted for verification of our genes of interest. 
 
Our results indicate the presence of multiple pathogenic organisms found in dermatological specimens, suggesting an infectious etiology of the dermopathy is present. Replication of preliminary data is ongoing for credibility of scientific claims. Future research needs to be conducted to continue the exploration of etiologic causes to support our findings. Through further analysis, the potential coexistence of multiple pathogens in MD may hold the answers to this unsolved mystery and bring a better understanding for MD to be recognized in the medical community.
 
Biologist Mary Leitao is credited with coining the term "Morgellons disease" in 2002. Leitao was inspired by a description of a similar condition in a 1674 letter written by English physician Sir Thomas Browne. In the letter, Browne described a skin disease in French children that caused hair-like extrusions to break out on their backs. Browne noted that these breakouts relieved the children of coughs and convulsions.
 
Leitao was investigating her son's scabies diagnosis when she discovered "fibers" in his skin and began to suspect a similar condition. After a doctor suggested her son might be suffering from delusions, Leitao rejected the idea and began the Morgellons Research Foundation. Significant news coverage of Morgellons in 2002 led to a dramatic increase in the disease's prevalence. 
 
Morgellons disease is a type of delusional parasitosis, where patients report that their skin contains parasites, toxins, fibers, or other foreign material. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) doesn't recognize Morgellons disease, so there are no specific diagnostic criteria or treatments.
 
According to the NIH, The name “Morgellons” (pronounced with either a hard or soft “g”) comes from a letter written in 1674 by Sir Thomas Browne, an English physician. The letter contains a brief description of a skin disease in French children:
Hairs which have most amused me have not been in the face or head, but on the back, and not in men but children, as I long ago observed in that endemial distemper of little children in Languedock, called the Morgellons, wherein they critically break out with harsh hairs on their backs, which takes off the unquiet symptoms of the disease, and delivers them from coughs and convulsions.
 
Browne’s description of “the Morgellons” and other historical accounts of similar maladies date from 1544–1884 and were found in Browne’s library in 1935 by Kellett, who then summarized and discussed them.
 
The accounts by Browne and others were likely referring to a heterogeneous group of skin conditions that may have differed from the skin condition that we refer to as MD today. These early accounts describe primarily childhood illnesses, many of which were associated with convulsions. There is mention of hairs, worms (with black protruding heads), or comedones that protruded from the skin, primarily on the arms, legs, and back, and at that time there was much debate as to whether these objects were animate or inanimate.8Ettmüller, for example, provided a drawing of infesting organisms that look like various arthropods, some resembling scabies mites, while the famous Dutch microscopist Leuvenhoeck concluded that such objects were inanimate.8 In 1894, Thibierge described patients who had erroneous and unshakeable beliefs of skin infestation by parasites, and proposed the name “acarophobia”. In 1946, Wilson and Miller suggested that “acarophobia” should be replaced by the name “delusions of parasitosis” (DOP).
 
From 1902 to 1938, case studies describing “parasitophobias” or “dermatological hypochondriasis” that resulted in delusional interpretation of skin sensations were published sporadically. However, as early as 1935, an association between spirochetal infection and DOP was documented by the French physician Vié, who reported that six of eight of the subjects in his case studies had syphilis.18 In 1938, a pivotal narrative of DOP was published by Ekbom, a series of case studies describing patients who had sensations of movement and the belief that insects were crawling on or under skin. Ekbom felt that determining the underlying cause of the formication was important, stating that “it is the underlying illness that determines the overall presentation of the beliefs” and “it is perhaps too simple that the parasitophobias should be considered as mental illness and nothing more”. Interestingly, like Vié, Ekbom found that spirochetal infection was present in his patient cohort, and three of Ekbom’s seven patients had documented cases of syphilis. Despite the fact that syphilis was considered rare in Sweden, Ekbom did not believe that spirochetal infection was a contributing factor.
 
Ekbom reported that the skin sensations consisted mostly of itching, but also that there was a feeling that something was crawling on or under the skin, and that stabbing and biting sensations could also occur. He mentioned that in such cases, “little animal” specimens were sometimes brought in by patients to show to physicians and that such collections consisted of “little hairs, little threads, grains of sand, and skin scales”. He noted that apart from delusional ideas of infestation, no consistent mental problems were present.20 Although Ekbom could not find any arthropods, parasites, or other microscopic animals, it is important to note that he found hairs, “little threads”, and “grains of sand” in patient specimens. His description is consistent with the findings of unusual hairs, fibers, and hardened comedo-like dermatological objects that we see in MD specimens. Such objects will be discussed in depth later in this report.
 
It is possible that patients in the case studies written by other physicians and mentioned by Ekbom had syphilis or other spirochetal infections. The causative agent of syphilis was first reported in 1905 by Fritz Schaudinn and Erich Hoffmann, who used dark-field microscopy and described spiral-shaped bacteria – Spirochaeta pallida – now called Treponema pallidum. The first test for syphilis was developed shortly afterward in 1906 by German physician and bacteriologist August von Wassermann. The Wassermann test was a complement-fixation test that detected antibodies reactive to the syphilis spirochete. The Wassermann tests performed in the 1920s and 1930s lacked accuracy, and cases of syphilis among patients with delusional parasitosis (DP) may have gone unacknowledged as a result.
 
Regardless of the test accuracy for syphilis, it is possible that some of the patients described in these historical case studies may have been infected with Borrelia spp., other treponemes or Leptospira spp. B. burgdorferi (Bb) is not a new organism: the earliest known case dates back 5,300 years in the mummy dubbed Ötzi,24 and BorreliaDNA was also detected in two museum specimens of the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus, collected in 1894. Spirochetes resembling Borrelia have also been found in amber-fossilized ticks from 15–20 million years ago. Therefore, spirochetal infections associated with MD may have occurred periodically hundreds or even thousands of years ago in human history, yet have gone unrecognized and unreported.
 
There is a brief mention of “the Morgellons” by Emslie-Smith in 1946, where he proposes that the condition was a form of myiasis caused by the larva of a Hypoderma species, although his account did not provide convincing evidence to support his theory. In a 1983 lecture, Lyell described a survey of several hundred dermatologists treating patients with DOP who reported that many of their patients exhibited specimens in matchboxes, baggies, scraps of paper, or photographs. Lyell labeled this practice the “matchbox sign”. The survey was reported in a short editorial in the Lancet, after which the “matchbox sign” was adopted by dermatologists as being proof of delusional mental illness. Likewise, the manipulation of skin to extract specimens for relief was also considered to be proof of having a delusional disorder, and this practice was labeled “the tweezer sign”.
 
After Emslie-Smith’s mention of MD in 1946, there were no significant references to MD in medical literature until 2002. In 2001, biologist Mary Leitao noted nonhealing lesions on her young son, who complained that he had “bugs” under his skin. She removed a scab, and upon magnification she did not see arthropods or parasites, but she did see embedded blue and red filaments. Leitao searched the Internet looking for similar conditions, and Browne’s description bore a resemblance to her son’s condition, so she appropriated the name.1,2 Leitao subsequently founded the not-for-profit Morgellons Research Foundation (MRF). The MRF website included a database where those with the disorder could self-report their skin and systemic symptoms.
 
Leitao did not get answers from the mainstream medical establishment. She had sought help from many doctors, including Fred Heldrich, a Johns Hopkins pediatrician, who arrived at the conclusion that Leitao should not use her son to “explore the problem” and that she could benefit from a psychiatric evaluation.32 Leitao gathered a group of patient advocates, medical practitioners, physicians, and nurses into a volunteer board of directors, which included Georgia-based pediatrician Greg Smith, Texas-based nurse practitioner Virginia Savely, patient advocates Charles E Holman and Cindy Casey-Holman, and former National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) physician and researcher William Harvey32 (C Casey, Charles E Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation, personal communication 2017). Leitao also sought help from Randy Wymore, a pharmacology professor at Oklahoma State University.
 
In 2006, Dan Rutz, a spokesman for the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contacted Leitao and said that the CDC would form a task force to investigate MD, declaring that “these people deserve more than to be blown off”. The CDC published their study results in 2012, declaring that MD was “similar to more commonly recognized conditions, such as delusional infestation [DI]”.33 As of 2012, Leitao had withdrawn from the public eye and closed the MRF. The website run by the MRF is no longer active, and the domain name was taken over by others, now promoting fringe etiologic theories of MD.
 
Music legend Joni Mitchell, 80, made her Grammys debut at an awards show, taking home a golden trophy for Best Folk Album.
The album, recorded in 2022, was a surprise performance by the musician who had stepped away from the spotlight in 2015 after suffering a brain aneurysm. But Ms Mitchell, 80, has also revealed she suffers from a 'weird, incurable' illness called Morgellons disease.
 
It causes 'fibers in a variety of colors [to] protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm,' she told The Los Angeles Times in 2010. 
 
However, despite similar patient reports, America's top health agencies fail to recognize the syndrome and medical professionals often refer to it as a 'delusional' disease. The condition doesn't have a known organic basis and is believed to instead to be a psychiatric condition.
 
The disease, according to Mayo Clinic, is characterized by a belief that parasites or fibers are embedded under and emerging from a person's skin. 
 
People with Morgellons report feeling as if something is crawling on or stinging their skin and describe intense itching and sores.
Some healthcare providers classify the condition as a delusional infestation and prescribe antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs to treat it, along with therapy and counseling. 
Other providers attribute symptoms to skin cell infections.
 
The medical community at large says more research needs to be done regarding MD. 
Symptoms of MD include skin rashes and sores that are extremely itchy, the sensation of crawling on or under the skin, the belief fibers, threads or strings are underneath the skin, muscle and joint pain, depression and an inability to concentrate.
 
More than 14,000 people are estimated to be affected by the disease, according to Medical News Today. 
 
A study in 2018 in the journal Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, said the skin condition is characterized by the presence of multi-colored filaments and fibers that are embedded in or project from the skin.
 
I remember when morgellons hit the scene in the 2,000’s. The amount of videos and images of it was startling. Multicolored fibers and they move on their own. Truthers merged it with smart dust. This article was written in 2013. 
 
How Smart Dust Could Spy On Your Brain
 
Intelligent dust particles embedded in the brain could form an entirely new form of brain-machine interface, say engineers. The real time monitoring of brain function has advanced in leaps and bounds in recent years. That’s largely thanks to various new technologies that can monitor the collective behaviour of groups of neurons, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetoencephalopathy and positron emission tomography.
 
This work is revolutionising our understanding of the way the brain is structured and behaves. It has also lead to a new engineering discipline of brain-machine interfaces, which allows people to control machines by thought alone.
 
Impressive though these techniques are, they all suffer from inherent limitations such as limited spatial resolution, a lack of portability and extreme invasiveness.
 
Today, Dongjin Seo and pals at the University of California Berkeley reveal an entirely new way to study and interact with the brain. Their idea is to sprinkle electronic sensors the size of dust particles into the cortex and to interrogate them remotely using ultrasound. The ultrasound also powers this so-called neural dust.
 
Each particle of neural dust consists of standard CMOS circuits and sensors that measure the electrical activity in neurons nearby. This is coupled to a piezoelectric material that converts ultra-high-frequency sound waves into electrical signals and vice versa.
 
The neural dust is interrogated by another component placed beneath the scale but powered from outside the body. This generates the ultrasound that powers the neural dust and sensors that listen out for their response, rather like an RFID system.
 
The system is also tetherless–the data is collected and stored outside the body for later analysis.
 
That gets around many of the limitations. The system is lower power, can have a high spatial resolution, and it is easily portable. It is also rugged and can potentially provides a link over long periods of time. “A major hurdle in brain-machine interfaces (BMI) is the lack of an implantable neural interface system that remains viable for a lifetime,” say Seo and co.
 
The difficulty is in designing and building such a system and today’s paper is a theoretical study of these challenges. First is the problem of designing and building neural dust particles on a scale of roughly 100 micrometres that can send and receive signals in the harsh, warm and noisy environment within the body.
 
That’s why Seo and co have chosen ultrasound to send and receive data. They calculate that the power required to use electromagnetic waves on the scale would generate a damaging amount of heat because of the amount of energy the body absorbs and the troubling signal-to-noise ratios at this scale.
 
Next is the problem of linking the electronics to the piezoelectric system that converts ultrasound to electronic signals and vice versa. Ensuring that the system works efficiently will be tricky given that it has to be packaged in an inert polymer or insulator film (which must also expose the recording electrodes to nearby neurons).
 
Finally, there is the challenge of designing and building the interrogation system that generates the ultrasound to power the entire array but at a low enough power to avoid heating skull and the brain.
 
On top of all this is the additional challenge of implanting the neural dust particles in the cortex. Seo and co say this can probably be done by fabricating the dust particles on the tips of a fine wire array, held in place by surface tension, for example. This array would be dipped into the cortex where the dust particles become embedded.
 
That’s an ambitious vision that is littered with challenges beyond the state-of-the-art. However, the team has a strong background in nanoelectromechanical systems and in the interface between electronic systems and cells.
 
Smart dust is a tiny sensor that measures temperature, sound, and humidity. It is like a mini-computer that can send this information wirelessly to other computers. Implanting smart dust devices can monitor vital signs, detect pathogens and track medication adherence. These applications enable remote patient monitoring and personalized healthcare interventions. The term “smart dust” was coined by Kristofer Pister of the University of California, Berkeley in 1997 to describe his wireless array of sensor nodes. Also known as nano dust A large fraction of the heavy chemical elements in different cosmic environments is contained in small solid dust particles, among them particles with sizes smaller than about 100 nm are loosely referred to as nano particles. The goal of the Smart Dust project is to build a millimeter-scale sensing and communication platform for a massively distributed sensor network. This device will be around the size of a grain of sand and will contain sensors, computational ability, bi-directional wireless communications, and a power supply. Smart Dust gets its power from thick-film batteries or solar energy via a solar cell consisting of a CMOS chip.
 
A supercapacitor might serve as the mote's power source. A significant technological problem is developing submillimeter-sized energy storage devices for ever smaller microelectronic components. Neural dust is a hypothetical class of nanometer-sized devices operated as wirelessly powered nerve sensors; it is a type of brain–computer. The neural dust platform uses ultrasonic power and communication to enable a scalable, wireless, and batteryless system for interfacing with the nervous system. A Smart Dust is a propellantless femtosatellite, with a characteristic side length of a few millimeters and a high value of its area-to-mass ratio. It exploits the solar radiation pressure to create a propulsive acceleration sufficient enough to substantially affect its orbital dynamics.

Smart Dust Applications Across Transport, Military, Factories & More
 
In the current technology trend, we are witnessing a lot of products to be significantly compact in size, yet having applications which are intricate in nature.
 
This is true, particularly when it comes to the electronics industry. Today, we use USB drives with over 1TB storage that are the size of an eraser.
 
On similar lines, today, we also have cameras with sensors and communication mechanisms that are as tiny as a grain of salt.
These tiny devices are known as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which are also called motes. And the system consisting of a number of motes working together is called Smart Dust.
 
These motes can be used in a number of applications. Before jumping to the applications, let’s understand what Smart Dust actually is.
 
Smart Dust comprises of many small wireless microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS are tiny devices that have cameras, sensors, and communication mechanisms to transmit the data to be stored and processed further.
 
These small devices are also called motes. They generally range from 20 micrometers up to a millimeter in size.
 
They are usually connected to a computer network wirelessly and are distributed over a specific area to accomplish tasks, usually sensing through RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology.
 
Smart Dust encompasses nano-structured sensors that can automatically assemble, align, sense, and report about its local environment.
 
They are very difficult to detect, and once deployed, it is even more difficult to get rid of them.
 
These particles are so tiny and light that they can remain suspended in the air like ordinary dust particles. They can also be swept away or displaced by air currents.
 
The primary features of motes are:
 
Motes are capable of measuring light, position, stress, acceleration, pressure, humidity, vibration, and sound. The data is transferred from mote to mote until it reaches the transmission node.
 
They collect and integrate data, as required, for the task from many miniature sensors.
They are capable of analyzing the data as collected by the sensors, which is specified by the system controls. Communicate the result of these analyses to other motes and the base system station.
 
Advantages and Disadvantages of Smart Dust
 
Some of the advantages of Smart Dust are as follows:
 
The small size of particles makes it possible for them to be positioned in narrow areas.
Lightweight.
 
Can work without human intervention and are alert 24*7, when certain conditions are met.
 
Can be programmed to monitor a variety of ecosystems in many industries.
 
Dramatically reduces human resources cost and increases safety and compliance.
 
As with all technologies, there are certain disadvantages to Smart Dust as well:
 
Privacy is a primary concern. Since the particles are so small and difficult to detect, it is feasible to collect information about people without their knowledge and consent.
 
High cost.
 
They could have an adverse effect on the environment as there will be numerous dust-sized particles in the air around us.
 
Applications of Smart Dust
 
Smart Dust finds applications in various industries and projects wherein data needs to be collected and analyzed without disturbing the ecosystem and any human involvement. Some of the applications are as follows:
 
In the Transport Sector
 
In transportation, smart Dust is used only on occasions of transporting perishable goods, animals, and any valuable dispatches among others.
 
Transportation of perishable goods
 
Perishable goods deteriorate fast and need special conditions to be preserved in. While transporting such goods, certain conditions such as temperature, humidity, vibrations, dust, and aeration need to be controlled.
 
Smart Dust helps in monitoring and maintaining these predefined conditions for those particular commodities. In case of malfunctioning of equipment, the system signals to the base system regarding the same.
 
Transportation of animals
 
This is particularly important because it involves taking individual precautions during transportation.
 
Smart Dust helps with monitoring the health of the animals along with controlling the conditions such as humidity, temperature, etc. according to the weather as necessary.
 
Transportation of valuable goods
 
Valuable goods can include a wide variety of products, from precious minerals to fragile sculptures.
 
Monitoring the transportation of these goods would mean keeping a check on the conditions maintained inside the wagon or any change in transportation conditions.
 
These could mean any damage to the goods or the transportation vehicle during conveyance, change in the settings inside the wagon, etc.
 
Military Applications
 
Smart Dust can be used to monitor activities in remote or inaccessible areas.
 
It can also be used to keep a tab on enemy movement in cases where it is not feasible to send drones or humans.
 
Smart Dust can also help alert our troops about poisonous gas or dangerous substance in the air and signal them to leave the premises.
 
Factory Automation
 
Smart Dust can be installed in factories to monitor the condition of equipment at all times and alert if there happens to be an issue with the equipment, This helps in avoiding any probable accidents.
 
Computers can be programmed to turn off the lights and the AC in empty offices.
 
AC can be automatically turned on and off in the server room if the server becomes too hot.
 
Virtual Keyboard
 
A mote can be glued to each of the fingertips. The accelerometer will sense the orientation and motion of each of the fingers.
 
This along with the MEMS augmented-reality heads-up display, your entire computer I/O would be invisible to everyone around you.
 
Agricultural Sector
 
The motes can be programmed to monitor the temperature and humidity in the soil. This can protect the crops from any damage.
 
It can also be used to monitor plant growth so that we can determine what stage of the cultivation process the plant is in.
 
With so many applications of Smart Dust, it should come as no surprise that it is the technology for the future.
 
It will need some more innovations to ensure it is 100% accurate and efficient at what it does. But it definitely will be in use a lot more.
 
The NIH and academia deny Morgellons stating it is a disease of the mind. However, it came out the same time smart dust did. Of course the military denies experimenting on the people as well and the majority believe their lies. The implications of using self assembling nano technology into the human body has a lot of potential for control. Monitoring the people in real time. Since the particles assemble in the body, use our body as a battery and sends out formation to cell towers in real time, the military, if used on the entire population, could essentially monitor the health of the entire state. 
 
It could also be used for outbreaks and knowing where and when to quarantine. However, they never told us of the success of the Covid outbreak and how the government was able to monitor the entire country and the spread of the virus. Covid could have been the testing of the smart dust and execution of protocols in the event of a biological attack. That coupled with whatever was in the vaccine could be the ultimate disease monitoring solution. Of course, at the expense of the small percentage of people whose bodies have rejected the filaments. Let’s not assume the government isn’t capable of causing such a horrendous feat. History shows us they do this all the time and barely pay a price for it.
 
Here are some of the notable experimental projects that were unlawfully used on the American People. Just the ones we caught them in. 
 
Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932-1972): This infamous study involved withholding treatment for syphilis from hundreds of African American men in Alabama, even after penicillin became the standard cure. The participants were told they were receiving free medical care.   
 
MK-ULTRA (1950s-1960s): A CIA program that conducted experiments on unwitting American citizens to test the effects of mind-altering drugs, such as LSD, and other techniques to manipulate behavior.   
 
Radiation Exposure Experiments: The U.S. government conducted numerous experiments involving radiation exposure, including exposing soldiers to atomic bomb tests and injecting patients with radioactive substances.   
 
Plutonium Injection Experiments: The Manhattan Project conducted experiments on unsuspecting patients, injecting them with plutonium to study its effects on the human body.   
 
Biological Warfare Experiments: The U.S. military conducted experiments with biological agents, such as bacteria and viruses, on both military personnel and civilians.

The Raelian Movement

The Raelian Movement
So, in the 1970’s, Claude Vorilhon, a former French auto-racing journalist who later changed his name to Rael, claims to have been visited by extraterrestrial beings who instructed him to establish an embassy in Geneva Switzerland to welcome their return to Earth. Their logo is the Star of David with a swatstika in the middle. Raelism combines elements of science fiction, new age spirituality, and eastern mysticism, and emphasizes the importance of cloning, genetic engineering, and sexual freedom. 
According to them, thousands of years ago, scientists from another planet came to Earth and created all forms of life—including humans, “in their image and likeness.” Due to their highly advanced technology, they were mistaken for gods by our primitive ancestors and often referred to them as “ELOHIM”, which in ancient Hebrew means, “Those who came from the sky.” Despite being a plural word, over time the word “Elohim” was mistranslated into the singular “God” as referenced in modern-day Bibles.
Throughout the Ages, the Elohim maintained contact with many PROPHETS, including Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed (to name just a few). They were all chosen by the Elohim to guide humans through the ages with messages of love, harmony and peace. In 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima. Our humanity entered a new era, the predicted “Age of APOCALYPSE.” (The word “APOCALYPSE” etymologically means “Revelation.”) Mankind had now reached the crucial stage in which it would either use science to enter the “Golden Age” or destroy itself. It was at this time that the Elohim decided it was time to send their last Prophet, who would reveal our true origin and demystify what the Prophets of Old could not.
The International Raelian Movement, which believes life on Earth was created by extraterrestrial beings, officially ended its support for Zionism, after its leader claimed to have received a divine prophecy condemning Israel.
A statement from the Raelians said that their leader, Rael (Claude Vorilhon), was told in an August 6 prophesy from Yahweh, the head of the extraterrestrial beings called the Elohim, that “protection” for Israel had been withdrawn due to Israeli policies on the Palestinians. Both Yahweh and Elohim are current Hebrew words for God. According to Rael, Yahweh said in a message for Israel: “You have betrayed all the exemplary values of Judaism by stealing land and houses that don’t belong to you, and especially by not respecting my most important commandment: ‘Thou shall not kill.’ And you have accumulated nuclear weapons that could kill millions of people in one go and spark off a world war capable of destroying all of our creation.”
Therefore, Rael was told, “the protection previously granted by to Israel is totally withdrawn as of today, and we ask that all real Jews leave the land of Palestine as quickly as possible.”
Rael, who has visited the planet of Elohim said, “Jew, leave Israel as soon as possible without turning back if you don’t wish to be turned into a pillar of salt, as happened at Sodom and Gomorrah.” Rael traveled the world getting banned in several countries including France. His ex-wife tells of her husband as a crazed lunatic bringing home disciples and having sex with them right in front of his wife. She was then told to clean up after them and fix them meals. He claimed he had met a 'little green man' called Elohim who had taken him in a spaceship to his planet to meet Jesus, Moses and Buddha. He was given a scented bath by female robots and was told aliens had created the human race 25,000 years earlier using DNA technology. Eventually their two children, who were exposed to adult orgies, left the sex cult and has not since returned. 
The ban in France led him to set up the secretive, Bahamas-based Clonaid organisation in 1987 now located in America. Rael claims to have 55,000 followers in 84 countries and announced the birth of two cloned human babies in 2002. Neither has been authenticated as the press waited for proof but none was given. Their website is outdated and doesn’t appear to be maintained as of 2009. However, they still maintain their first clone Eve is alive and well in Israel.
Raël and the Raëlian Movement: A Critical Analysis
Raël, born Claude Vorilhon, and his Raëlian Movement have garnered significant attention due to their unique beliefs and practices. While the movement claims to promote peace, love, and scientific advancement, it has also faced criticism and controversy.
Pros of the Raëlian Movement
Emphasis on Peace and Love: The Raëlian Movement advocates for peace, love, and non-violence. They believe in the interconnectedness of all beings and promote tolerance and respect for all.
Promotion of Scientific Advancement: The movement encourages scientific research and development,particularly in the fields of cloning and genetic engineering. They believe these advancements can lead to a better future for humanity.
Focus on Environmental Protection: Raëlians advocate for environmental protection and sustainable practices.They believe that humans have a responsibility to care for the planet and its resources.
Cons of the Raëlian Movement
Controversial Beliefs: The Raëlian Movement's core beliefs, including the existence of extraterrestrial creators (the Elohim) and the claim that humans were created through genetic engineering, are considered controversial and unscientific by many.
Criticism of Religious Practices: The movement's rituals and practices, such as the creation of "clone babies," have been criticized as unethical and potentially harmful.
Financial Concerns: The Raëlian Movement has faced allegations of financial impropriety, including accusations of mismanaging donations and using funds for personal gain.
Controversial Statements: Raël and his followers have made controversial statements, including promoting the legalization of prostitution and advocating for the creation of a "sex cult."
The Raëlian Movement presents a complex picture with both positive and negative aspects. While their emphasis on peace, love, and scientific advancement is commendable, their controversial beliefs and practices have raised significant concerns. Ultimately, whether one views the movement positively or negatively depends on their individual values and perspectives.
The Raëlian Movement's Cloning Capabilities
The Raëlian Movement, led by Raël, has been at the forefront of human cloning advocacy. In 1997, they established Clonaid, a company specifically dedicated to human cloning. While they have made numerous claims about their cloning successes, these claims have been met with significant skepticism and controversy within the scientific community.   
Key Claims and Controversies:
Successful Human Cloning: In 2002, Clonaid announced the birth of a cloned baby girl named Eve. However, they refused to provide independent scientific verification of her genetic identity, leading to widespread doubt and skepticism.  
Ethical Concerns: The Raëlian Movement's stance on human cloning has raised significant ethical concerns. Critics argue that cloning humans is a violation of natural processes and could have unforeseen consequences.  
Scientific Scrutiny: The scientific community has largely rejected the Raëlian Movement's claims of cloning success. Experts have pointed out the lack of transparency, the absence of independent verification, and the potential for fraud or misrepresentation.  
Current Status:
While the Raëlian Movement continues to promote human cloning, their claims have not been substantiated by the broader scientific community. The ethical and scientific debates surrounding cloning remain ongoing, and the future of human cloning remains uncertain.
Their headquarters are located in Gardone Riviera, Italy, where they have a dedicated facility known as "Raël's Ark." This facility serves as a center for their activities and beliefs.
Raëlian Religious and Philosophical Beliefs
The Raëlian Movement, founded by Claude Vorilhon (Raël), is based on a unique set of religious and philosophical beliefs. Here are some of the core tenets of their ideology:
Extraterrestrial Origins:
Elohim: The Raëlians believe that humans were created by extraterrestrial beings known as the Elohim. These beings are said to have visited Earth in the past and genetically engineered humans.
Cloning: The Elohim are believed to have used cloning technology to create humans. The Raëlians believe that cloning can be used to achieve immortality and create a better future for humanity.
Purpose of Life:
Immortality: The Raëlians believe that the purpose of life is to achieve immortality through cloning. They argue that death is a natural consequence of aging and can be overcome through scientific advancements.
Contact with the Elohim: The Raëlians believe that it is essential to establish contact with the Elohim in order to ensure the survival and well-being of humanity. They advocate for building embassies for the Elohim on Earth.
Ethical Principles:
Peace and Love: The Raëlians promote peace, love, and non-violence. They believe that all beings are interconnected and should be treated with respect.
Scientific Advancement: The Raëlians encourage scientific research and development, particularly in the fields of cloning and genetic engineering. They believe that these advancements can lead to a better future for humanity.
Controversial Beliefs:
Sex Cult: The Raëlian Movement has been accused of being a "sex cult" due to its emphasis on sexual freedom and its belief that sex is a sacred act.
Cloning Babies: The Raëlian Movement has been criticized for its efforts to clone humans, which many consider to be unethical and potentially harmful.
As of my last update, there have been no major reports of Raëlian Movement members being arrested on a global scale. However, it's important to note that this could change.
Local Incidents: There may have been localized incidents or legal disputes involving individual members or groups affiliated with the Raëlian Movement, particularly in countries with strict regulations on religious practices or where controversies have arisen.
Changing Legal Landscape: The legal landscape can change over time, and new laws or regulations might impact the activities of the Raëlian Movement in certain jurisdictions.
Estimating the Net Worth of the Raëlian Movement
Determining the exact net worth of the Raëlian Movement is challenging due to the private nature of their finances and the potential for undisclosed assets or liabilities. However, based on publicly available information and estimates, we can make some educated guesses.
Factors Affecting Net Worth:
Donations: The Raëlian Movement relies heavily on donations from its members and supporters. The amount of donations received can fluctuate over time, affecting their overall financial stability.
Properties and Assets: The movement may own properties, such as their headquarters in Gardone Riviera, Italy, as well as other assets that could contribute to their net worth.

Estimated Net Worth:
Given the limited public information available, it's difficult to provide a precise estimate of the Raëlian Movement's net worth. However, based on the size of their membership and the nature of their activities, it's likely that their net worth is relatively modest compared to larger religious organizations or corporations.
The popularity of the Raëlian Movement can be attributed to several factors:
Unique Beliefs: Their distinctive beliefs, including the claim of extraterrestrial origins and the potential for human cloning, have captured the imagination of many people who are seeking something different or unconventional.

Controversial Nature: The movement's controversial beliefs and practices can generate media attention and public interest, which can contribute to their popularity.
The Raëlian Movement has been accused of being a "sex cult" by some critics. This accusation is primarily based on their emphasis on sexual freedom and their belief that sex is a sacred act. However, there is no concrete evidence to support these claims.
Here's a breakdown of the main arguments and counterarguments:
Arguments for "Sex Cult" Label:
Sexual Freedom: The Raëlians advocate for sexual freedom and believe that all sexual orientations and practices are acceptable. This has led some to label them as a "sex cult."
Controversial Statements: Raël and his followers have made controversial statements about sex, including promoting the legalization of prostitution and advocating for the creation of a "sex cult."
Counterarguments:
Religious Beliefs: The Raëlians' emphasis on sexual freedom is rooted in their religious beliefs. They believe that sex is a natural and sacred part of human existence.
Lack of Evidence: There is no concrete evidence to support the claim that the Raëlian Movement engages in harmful or exploitative sexual practices.
Individual Choice: The Raëlian Movement emphasizes individual choice and freedom. Members are free to engage in sexual activities as they see fit, within the bounds of the law.
Joining the Raëlian Movement
If you are interested in joining the Raëlian Movement, you can typically do so by:
Contacting a Local Chapter: The Raëlian Movement has chapters in various countries. You can search for a local chapter near you through their website or by contacting their international headquarters.

Becoming a Member: After attending meetings and learning about the Raëlian Movement, you may decide to become a member. Membership typically involves a commitment to the movement's principles and values.
The Raëlian Movement and Israel
The Raëlian Movement has a complex relationship with Israel. While they do not have a formal affiliation with the Israeli government, there are some connections and points of interest:
Biblical References: The Raëlian Movement draws on biblical references to support their claims about extraterrestrial origins. They interpret certain biblical passages as evidence of the Elohim's involvement in human history.
Jewish Influence: Some Raëlian members have Jewish backgrounds, and the movement has been influenced by certain Jewish traditions and beliefs.
Controversial Statements: In the past, Raël has made controversial statements about Israel, including suggesting that the country should be divided between Arabs and Jews. These statements have been criticized by some within the Raëlian Movement and by external observers.
The Raëlian Movement and the Lost 144,000 Jews
The concept of the "lost 144,000 Jews" is derived from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible. It refers to a group of 144,000 Jewish believers who are said to be sealed by God for protection during the end times.
There is no direct connection between the Raëlian Movement and the concept of the lost 144,000 Jews. The Raëlian Movement's beliefs are based on their own unique interpretation of religious and scientific concepts, and they do not identify with the traditional Christian understanding of the Bible or its prophecies.
While some Raëlian members may have Jewish backgrounds, the movement's overall focus is on their own beliefs about extraterrestrial origins and the potential for human cloning. They do not claim to be the lost 144,000 Jews, nor do they subscribe to the traditional Christian interpretation of this concept.
Conclusion: The Raëlian Movement
The Raëlian Movement, founded by Claude Vorilhon (Raël), presents a unique and controversial blend of religious,philosophical, and scientific beliefs. Their core tenets, including extraterrestrial origins, human cloning, and the pursuit of immortality, have garnered significant attention and criticism.
Key Takeaways:
Unique Beliefs: The Raëlian Movement's beliefs, while unconventional, have attracted a following of individuals seeking something different or unconventional.
Controversial Claims: Their claims about extraterrestrial origins and human cloning have been met with skepticism and criticism within the scientific community.
Ethical Concerns: The movement's emphasis on cloning has raised significant ethical concerns, particularly regarding the potential for exploitation and unforeseen consequences.
Limited Influence: Despite their unique beliefs and practices, the Raëlian Movement has a relatively small global presence compared to other major religions or social movements.
Future Outlook:
While the Raëlian Movement may continue to attract new members and maintain a certain level of visibility, it is unlikely that they will achieve widespread mainstream acceptance or influence. Their controversial beliefs and practices, coupled with the lack of scientific evidence to support their claims, make it difficult for them to gain credibility or legitimacy.
However, the Raëlian Movement's focus on scientific advancement and their advocacy for peace and love may continue to resonate with some individuals. As technology and scientific understanding evolve, the movement may adapt and potentially find new ways to promote their beliefs and goals.
Ultimately, the future of the Raëlian Movement will depend on their ability to address the criticisms and concerns raised about their beliefs and practices, as well as their capacity to adapt to the changing social and cultural landscape.
I find it fascinating that such an encounter, whether real or not can spark a movement and religion. How people gravitate towards a truth they want to believe in to be led down a path of corruption. Especially when sex is forefront and free. This to me is a huge red flag. Not because sex is a bad thing, but how jealousy and emotions can be played on people who drank the kool aid. Cults are easy to spot. A leader who received a message from something invisible. Check. Wants to bring all together under a commune. Check. Has sex with their patrons. Check. Writes a book on things to follow. Check. 
I do agree with this alien’s view on Israel. They are definitely a thorn in the side of all the Middle East and America is its enabler. And I would like to see Israel turn into a pillar of salt. Not because I believe in the views of Islam, either. It’s because Israel is a con job. A fake religion by the Prussians who use god as their weapon and excuse for genocide. They are evil and the Bible talks about them being the synagogue of Satan and the whole world will hate them and attack them in the end times. It sure looks that is happening right now.

The Twin Pillars Of The Second Temple Boaz and Joaquin

The Twin Pillars Of The Second Temple Boaz and Joaquin
What is boaz and joaquin? Bo-Az and Jo-Akin. According to the Bible, Boaz and Jachin were two copper, brass or bronze pillars which stood on the porch of Solomon's Temple, the first Temple in Jerusalem. They are used as symbols in Freemasonry and sometimes in religious architecture. The pillars may be seen representing two out of the three pillars of the "Tree of Life", the Jewish mystical symbol for the creation of the universe. The names of the 3 pillars of the Tree of Life were often seen as strength and wisdom with the third pillar being harmony, placed between them. Thus, when a candidate passed between them, he in essence becomes harmony, and enters a life in which the spiritual dominates the physical.
2 Chronicles 3:17 King Solomon erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz. Columns representing Boaz and Jachin can be found in most Masonic lodges and are emblematic of their use in Masonic ritual. The pillars are part of a symbolic use of Solomon's Temple itself but Solomon stole the pillars from esoteric occult history. The two columns called the “Pillars of Hercules” in Ancient Greece stood at the gateway to the sphere of the enlightened. The frontispice of Francis Bacon’s “New Atlantis” featuring the Pillars of Hercules as a gateway to a new world. According to occult lore, Atlantis is the civilization from which all hermetic knowledge emerged. The rebirth of this lost kingdom has been the dream of Mystery schools for centuries. The master builder of the Temple of Solomon was Hiram Abiff, a prominent figure in Masonic ritual. The verses 1 Kings 6:1-38, 1 Kings Chapter 7, and Chapter 8 describe the dimensions, the construction and the dedication of the Temple under Solomon. One passage describes more specifically the twin pillars standing in front of King Solomon’s Temple.
The concept of using Boaz and Jachin in the Third Temple is a complex one, with varying opinions and interpretations.
Those who advocate for their use often argue that these pillars are symbolic of the divine presence and should be incorporated into the rebuilt temple. They believe that the pillars would serve as a physical manifestation of God's protection and guidance.
However, there are also those who oppose their use. Some argue that the original pillars were destroyed along with the Second Temple and cannot be replicated. Others contend that the focus of the Third Temple should be on spiritual renewal and connection with God, rather than on physical artifacts.
Ultimately, whether or not Boaz and Jachin will be used in the Third Temple is a matter of faith and interpretation. It is a complex issue with no definitive answer, and different individuals and groups may have varying perspectives on the matter.
It's important to note that the construction of a Third Temple is a highly controversial topic, with significant political and religious implications. The issue of whether or not to incorporate Boaz and Jachin into the temple is just one aspect of a much larger debate.
The Pillars of Hercules were two ancient landmarks located on opposite sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, at the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. They were believed to mark the boundary between the known world (Europe and Africa) and the unknown, mythical lands beyond.
The European Pillar: This pillar was located on the Iberian Peninsula, in modern-day Spain. It was known as Calpe.
The African Pillar: This pillar was located on the African coast, in modern-day Morocco. It was known as Abyla.
These pillars were associated with the Greek hero Hercules, who was said to have placed them there as a monument to his twelfth labor. They were also mentioned in the writings of ancient Greek and Roman authors, who described them as towering, imposing structures.
Today, the Pillars of Hercules are no longer standing, but their legacy lives on in the Strait of Gibraltar, which is still considered a significant geographical feature.
The Pillars of Hercules represent several things:
1. The Boundary of the Known World: They marked the westernmost edge of the Mediterranean Sea, which was considered the known world to ancient Greeks and Romans. Beyond these pillars lay the unknown, mythical lands.
2. The Triumph of Hercules: They were associated with the Greek hero Hercules, who was said to have placed them there as a monument to his twelfth labor. They symbolized his strength, courage, and ability to overcome challenges.
3. The Passage to the Unknown: The Pillars of Hercules were also seen as a gateway to the unknown, a symbol of adventure, exploration, and the desire to discover new lands and cultures.
4. A Symbol of Hope: For sailors and explorers, the Pillars of Hercules represented a beacon of hope, a reminder that even in the face of the unknown, there is always the possibility of discovery and adventure.
Wisdom and strength. This is what Hercules and the columns represent.
Hercules, also known as Heracles, was a legendary Greek hero renowned for his extraordinary strength, courage, and completion of twelve seemingly impossible labors. These labors were imposed upon him by King Eurystheus as a punishment for killing his own children in a fit of madness.
Here are some of Hercules' most famous labors:
Slaying the Nemean Lion: This lion was invulnerable to weapons, so Hercules had to strangle it to death.
Killing the Hydra: A multi-headed serpent that regenerated two heads for every one cut off. Hercules had to cauterize the stumps to prevent regeneration.
Capturing the Ceryneian Hind: A swift deer with golden antlers and bronze hooves.
Capturing the Erymanthian Boar: A giant boar that terrorized the countryside.
Cleaning the Augean Stables: A massive stable that had not been cleaned in 30 years. Hercules diverted two rivers to clean the stables in a single day.
Slaying the Stymphalian Birds: Ferocious birds with bronze claws and feathers that could pierce armor.
Capturing the Cretan Bull: A magnificent bull that terrorized the island of Crete.
Stealing the Mares of Diomedes: Fierce, man-eating horses.
Obtaining the Girdle of Hippolyta: The queen of the Amazons.
Stealing the Golden Apples of the Hesperides: Guarded by a dragon.
Capturing Cerberus: The three-headed dog that guarded the underworld.
Bringing back Alcestis from the Underworld: A woman who volunteered to die in place of her husband,Admetus.
These labors are just a few examples of Hercules' incredible feats, which have made him one of the most iconic and celebrated figures in Greek mythology.
Boaz and Joaquin are located in Congress. The House Chamber, also known as the "Hall of the House of Representatives," is a large assembly room located in the center of the U.S. Capitol's south wing. Members of the House of Representatives sit in unassigned armchairs arranged in a semicircle on tiered platforms that face the Speaker's rostrum. Behind the rostrum is a frontispiece with Ionic columns made of black Italian marble with white Alabama marble capitals. An American flag occupies the center and is flanked by two bronze fasces. The bronze fasces in the U.S. House of Representatives' Chamber are called lictors' fasces. They are symbols of the House's authority as part of Congress and hang behind the rostrum. 
The fasces is a bundle of rods bound by a leather thong and a single-bladed axe that originated in ancient Rome. It was a symbol of power, strength, authority, justice, and union. The Romans used the fasces in many ways, including carrying it in processions and having lictors, or officers who served magistrates, carry it to execute their sentences. The fasces also represented the power of life or death that a Roman magistrate had over citizens.
 
But are they Boaz and Joaquin?
 
Freemasonry may have the answers. According to
 
By: R∴W∴Robert Palazzo, DDGM
 
The one thing about Freemasonry which both attracts and repels is Freemasonry’s ostensible connection with all things esoteric. It has become both a blessing and a curse, which in itself is ironic as the pillars are also said to have a dual purpose. They represent opposing forces.
 
In the early days, the accusation against Freemasonry being esoteric is two-fold. First, that its members engage in esoteric practices, second that the Masons engage in esoteric study. It was during this religious insurrection that Freemasonry was thought of as heretical or satanic. When the word esoteric in its most simple term is translated into "Hidden from Sight". Certainly, anything esoteric is not necessarily evil.
 
Freemasonry came into its present form during the Age of Enlightenment and its members were considered the free thinkers of their time. It has also been said that the Fellow Craft degree symbolizes the intellectual awakening of the candidate and his mature development as a thinker. You will also find that the Fellow Craft degree draws heavily upon the symbolism of Jewish mystical thought and on the symbols of alchemy. It was also during this Age of Enlightenment that several important symbols surfaced within the 2nd section of the Fellow Craft degree and none more important than the powerful and complex pillars of Boaz and Jachin.
 
To begin with, these pillars were either brass or bronze. In either case they came from a combination of "Sun" metal, that being copper and "Moon" metal that being either tin or zinc. This mixture of Sun and Moon expressed harmony and balance. Passing through these pillars represents a chance for a new beginning. The fact that these pillars were hollow made an opportune vehicle to store one’s baggage of the past, as the lodge does not regard or remember the faults of a novitiate prior to joining the lodge.
In addition, the pillars may be seen representing two out of the three pillars of the "Tree of Life", the Jewish mystical symbol for the creation of the universe. The names of the 3 pillars of the Tree of Life were often seen as strength and wisdom with the third pillar being harmony, placed between them. Thus, when a candidate passed between them, he in essence becomes harmony, and enters a life in which the spiritual dominates the physical.
"
II Chronicles 17" states "behold, and he raised up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand and the other on the left and called the name of that on the right Jachin and that upon the left Boaz".
 
Since the dawn of civilization, two pillars have guarded the entrance of sacred and mysterious places. Whether in art or architecture, twin pillars are archetypal symbols representing an important gateway or passage toward the unknown. In Freemasonry, the pillars Boaz and Jachin represent one of the brotherhood’s most recognizable symbols and most times is prominently featured in Masonic art, documents, and buildings.
 
The concept of the twin pillars standing at the gate of sacred places can be traced back to the ancient civilizations of antiquity. In ancient Greece, the Pillars of Hercules was the name applied to the promontories that flank the entrance to the straights of Gibraltar. According to Plato’s account, the lost realm of Atlantis was located beyond the Pillars of Hercules, in effect, placing them in the realm of the unknown. Tradition says the pillars bore the warning; "Nec Plus Ultra" meaning "nothing further beyond", and served as a warning to sailors and navigators to go no further. Symbolically speaking, going beyond the Pillars of Hercules meant leaving the foulness of this world into the realm of higher enlightenment.
 
In Freemasonry, the Masonic usage of the terms Boaz and Jachin originates from the Biblical account of King Solomon’s Temple. The master builder of the temple was Hiram Abiff a prominent figure in all our teachings. "1 Kings Chapters 6,7, and 8," describe the dimensions, construction, and dedication of the Temple. One passage in particular specifically describes the twin pillars in front of Solomon’s Temple and I quote:
 
"For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece, and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about."
 
"And he made two chapiters of molten brass to set upon the tops of the pillars. The height of the one chapiter was five cubits and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits."
 
"The nets of checker work and wreaths of chain work for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars, seven for one chapiter and seven for the other chapiter."
 
"And he made the pillars, and two rows upon the one network to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates and so he did for the other chapiter."
 
"And the lily work upon the top of the chapiters were of four cubits."
And as the right pillar was set up he named it Jachin and as he set up the left pillar he named it Boaz and so the work of the pillars was finished.
 
The account of Solomon’s Temple is of great importance to Freemasonry as each detail of the building holds an important esoteric meaning. As mentioned before the Pillars act as a portal to the mysterious. According to the ancient Rabbis, Solomon was an initiate of the Mystery schools and the Temple in which he built was actually a house of initiation containing a mass of pagan, philosophic, and phallic emblems. The pomegranates, the palm headed columns, the pillars before the door, coupled with the arrangement of the chambers and draperies all indicate the Temple to have been patterned after sanctuaries of Egypt and Atlantis.
 
Albert Pike had his own description and I quote, "you entered the lodge between two columns. They represent the two which stood on the porch of the Temple, one on each side of the great eastern gateway. These pillars of bronze were four fingers breadth in thickness according to the most accurate account, eighteen cubits in height with a capital of five cubits high. The shaft of each was four cubits in diameter. A cubit being one foot and 707/1000s, that is, the shaft of each was a little over thirty feet eight inches in height. The capital was a little over eight feet six inches in height, and the diameter of the shaft six feet ten inches. 
 
The capitals were enriched with pomegranates of bronze covered by bronze net-work and ornamented with wreaths of bronze, and appear to have imitated the shape of the seed-vessel of the lotus or Egyptian lily, a sacred symbol to the Hindus and Egyptians. Both these columns as you may be aware have a Hebrew translation from the Old Testament. The etymology can thus be explained, the word "Jachin" in Hebrew was pronounced Ya-Kayan, meaning firm, upright, or stable. Boaz on the other hand is "Baaz" meaning power or might. The one on the right means, "He Shall Establish" and the second, "in it is strength." One thing you may not be aware of is that these columns were imitations created by Khurum the Tyrian artist, and similar columns stood at the entrance of the famous Temple of Malkarth in the city of Tyre.
 
Another fact that may have slipped your notice unless your day is spent dealing in the occult is that the High Priestess of the Tarot, "La Papessa" or the "Popess" wearing her Triregnum or Papal Tiara sits between the pillars Boaz and Jachin. As with most occult symbols the twin pillars conceal multiple layers of meaning, some intended for the profane others divulged in the higher degrees of Freemasonry. However viewed, the pillars as stated earlier represent the equilibrium of two opposing forces. Aside from their dimensions, in York Rite Masonry the pillars are most often seen with a ball or globe placed on top. In essence the pillars most likely had a bowl, one containing fire and the other water. The celestial globe or fire bowl surmounting Jachin symbolized the divine man, the terrestrial globe or water bowl symbolized the earthly man. 
 
The pillars also connote the active and passive expressions of divine energy, the sun and the moon, sulphur and salt, good and bad, etc. The door placed between them leads to the House of God and standing at the gates of Sanctuary they are reminded that Jehovah is both androgynous (both male and female) and an anthro-pomorphic (having human qualities) deity. The parallel columns also denote the zodiac signs of Cancer and Capricorn, which were formerly placed in the chamber of initiation to represent birth and death, the extremes of physical life. Freemasons know them to represent the summer and winter solstices or a more modern comparative appellation would be the two Saints John.
 
The twin pillars also showed up at the Kabalistic Temple of Solomon. In the Kabalah these pillars explained all the mysteries of antagonism, whether natural, political, or religious. They elucidate the procreative struggle between man and woman. According to the laws of nature, the woman must resist the man, and he must entice or overcome her. 
 
Such is the significance of the two pillars, they are distinct and separate, contrary in appearance. Separately their power is one joined, and they would destroy one another. And for precisely the same reason the spiritual power is weakened when it attempts to usurp the temporal and the temporal becomes victim if it encroaches on the spiritual. Human equilibrium requires two feet, the world gravitates by two forces and generations need two sexes.
When the two pillars find equilibrium, it is said to generate a third pillar, one in the middle, which esoterically represents man or mankind. It will also signify the union of Sushumna and the Kundalini, this sacred marriage will create and radiate throughout the human body filling it with divine light. It is then that humanity will become the third column, Wisdom.
 
In Qabbalistic teachings the pillars represent Sepiroth, the Tree of Life and symbolize mercy and severity. When interpreted Qabbalistically, the name of the two pillars mean, "In strength shall my house be established." In the splendor of mental and spiritual illumination the High Priest stood between the two pillars as a mute witness to the perfect virtue of equilibrium, that hypothetical point equidistant from all extremes. Thus, he personified the divine nature of man, the mysterious Pythagorean Monad in the presence of Duad. The column on the right, Jachin, has its foundation on Chochmah, the outpouring Wisdom of God. The three globes suspended from it are all masculine potencies. The column on the left, Boaz has three globes suspended from it, which have feminine receptive potencies. It is acknowledged that the three pillars are ultimately united in Malchuth in which all the powers of the superior worlds are manifested. The teachings of the "Tree of Life" are a very heady subject and to understand them, one must study intensely to understand their purpose.
 
In pop culture the pillars are sometimes used for other reasons, other than decorative and take on an esoteric meaning. The simple act of standing between or passing through them symbolically represents a transformation or initiation. This symbol is cleverly disguised and can be found in music, film and literature. One such place it can be found is in the first book of the Harry Potter series, where he first discovers he is a wizard. His initiation is visually portrayed on the cover as him going through two pillars. One might not know that the original title for the book was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone." The Philosopher’s Stone being an ancient alchemical concept representing illumination. In the music world, rapper Kayne West stands in the middle of twin pillars in his highly symbolic video, "Power." Among the plethora of esoteric symbols found in the 2009 fantasy film "the Imagination of Doctor Parnassus", the twin pillars adorn both sides of the stage as the leader of a traveling theatre group having made a bet with the devil takes them through a magical mirror to explore their imagination and present them with a choice of self-fulfillment or gratifying ignorance.
 
In today’s world, two pillars stand in front of the IRS building in New Carrollton, Maryland. The IRS being the most despised institution in America, constructed a state of the art building, but it’s not the building that gets all the attention, it’s the odd work of art which profoundly guards the entrance. To most people the art displayed means nothing, but to those versed in secret society symbolism, the implications are manifold and profound. Two black and white pillars made of the highest quality marble; denoting Masonic duality guard the gateway. They are topped by two hands pointing skyward, known as the "Hands of Mystery". Between the two pillars is a dark pyramid with a metallic capstone on which is written "We the People." This 1997 work is called "Vox Poluli," which is Latin for "the voice of the people". As for why this symbol appears at the IRS, there is a basic and usually unsatisfactory meaning given to the masses. Additional pillars can also be found in the city of Astana, Khazakhstan whose architecture and layout contain numerous occult elements.
 
Very likely many of us have wondered from time to time what the true meaning of the pillars are and why the strange names; and just as easily dismissed the subject as one of those inexplicable things handed down from the Bible from old times which have no practical meaning in today’s world. Nevertheless, these strange names are not without purpose. They contain the key to the entire Bible and to the whole order of nature.
 
The meaning of Boaz is clearly seen in the Book of Ruth. There, Boaz appears as the kinsman exercising his right of pre-emption, so familiar to those versed in Oriental Law. The right of pre-emption, has for its purpose the maintenance of the family as a social unit; the right to purchase back property to return it to the family it once belonged. In the story, Boaz brings the alienated estate into the family not only as a matter of law but because of his membership in the family and his motive for doing so is his love for Ruth. So, there should not be a reason why the name of Boaz is attached to the mysterious pillar when we seek it’s meaning. Thus, the two pillars typify Unity and the redeeming power of love. St. Paul speaks of the "Unity" of the spirit which is the "Bond of Peace", and "Love" which is the "Bond of Perfectness." It is what St. Paul alludes to when he calls God the Father from whom every family in Heaven and on Earth is named.
 
These two pillars, therefore, stand for the great spiritual principals that are the basis of all life: Jachin typifying the Unity resulting from being, and Boaz, typifying the Unity resulting from Love. This Dual-Unity we find is the key or evolution of Spirit, and the reason that these two ancient pillars has been preserved in our scriptures. They contain infinite meanings, which appear to be the most meaningless, but will be found to contain the deepest significance.
 
A Deeper Dive into the Names Boaz and Jachin: Gematria and Occultism
Gematria is a system of assigning numerical values to letters in various alphabets, often used in Jewish mysticism and other esoteric traditions. The numerical value of a word or phrase can be interpreted to reveal hidden meanings or connections.
 
Occultism is a broad term encompassing various beliefs and practices related to supernatural or hidden phenomena, often involving mysticism, magic, and esoteric knowledge.
 
Gematria and Boaz
Hebrew: בועז (Boaz)
Numerical value:ב (Bet) = 2
ו (Vav) = 6
ע (Ayin) = 70
ז (Zayin) = 7
Total: 85
 
Possible interpretations based on gematria:
 
Strength and Stability: The number 85 in Hebrew gematria can be associated with concepts of strength, stability,and foundation. This aligns with the meaning of the name "Boaz," which means "in him is strength."
Wisdom and Understanding: Some scholars have suggested that 85 is also connected to wisdom and understanding. This could tie into the overall theme of Solomon's temple as a place of divine wisdom and knowledge.
 
Gematria and Jachin
Hebrew: יאכין (Jachin)
Numerical value:י (Yod) = 10
א (Aleph) = 1
כ (Kaf) = 20
י (Yod) = 10
ן (Nun) = 50
Total: 91
 
Possible interpretations based on gematria:
 
Divine Presence: The number 91 in Hebrew gematria can be interpreted as representing the divine presence or the Shekinah. This aligns with the idea that the pillars were symbols of God's protection and support for the temple and the people of Israel.
Establishment and Foundation: The number 91 can also be associated with concepts of establishment,foundation, and stability. This connects with the meaning of the name "Jachin," which means "he will establish."
 
Occultism and the Pillars
 
In occult traditions, the pillars Boaz and Jachin are often seen as representing dualistic principles, such as light and darkness, good and evil, or masculine and feminine. They may also be associated with the pillars of the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, representing the divine attributes of wisdom, understanding, and love.
 
The Tree of Life, a central symbol in Kabbalah, is often associated with the pillars Boaz and Jachin due to their shared symbolic significance.
Here's a breakdown of the connection:
 
Dualistic Principles: Both the Tree of Life and the pillars represent dualistic principles. The Tree of Life is often depicted as a sefirot (emanations) arranged in a tree-like structure, with the pillars representing the two central sefirot, Chokmah (Wisdom) and Binah (Understanding). These sefirot are seen as the foundation of creation and the source of all divine attributes.
Foundation and Support: The pillars, like the roots of a tree, represent the foundation and support of the divine structure. Similarly, the Tree of Life is often depicted as rooted in the divine realm, providing stability and nourishment to the creation.
Divine Presence: Both the pillars and the Tree of Life are associated with the divine presence. The pillars are believed to represent the presence of God in the temple, while the Tree of Life is seen as a manifestation of the divine essence.
 
In essence, the Tree of Life and the pillars Boaz and Jachin are interconnected symbols that represent the divine foundation, structure, and presence. They are often studied together in Kabbalistic and occult traditions to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of reality and the divine.
 
The Talmud does not explicitly mention the pillars Boaz and Jachin by name. However, it does discuss the construction of Solomon's Temple and the significance of its various elements.
 
While the Talmud doesn't directly address the pillars, it does offer insights into the symbolic and spiritual significance of the Temple as a whole. For example, the Talmud often interprets the Temple as a microcosm of the universe, with its various parts representing different aspects of divine creation and revelation.
 
It's possible that the Talmudic rabbis would have understood the pillars within this broader context, recognizing their role as significant components of the Temple's symbolism and spiritual meaning. However, without specific references to the pillars themselves, it's difficult to say definitively what the Talmud might have said about them.
 
Duality seems to be the key here. Controlling good and evil. Just as I have said about the grey pope and his role in controlling the white and black pope. The grey pope appears to take the position of King Solomon who has the keys to control good and evil on earth. Anyone who enters the pillars is either a high priest or god himself. 
 
In the movie "Don't Look Up," the tech billionaire character, played by Mark Rylance, mentions the "pillars of Boaz and Jachin." The character's mention of the "pillars of Boaz and Jachin" in "Don't Look Up" is likely a subtle reference to his wealth, power, and perceived wisdom.
 
Here's a breakdown of why the reference might be significant:
 
Symbol of Strength and Stability: The pillars are associated with strength, stability, and knowledge in Freemasonry. The character, a tech billionaire, is positioned as a powerful and influential figure.
Implying Superiority: By referencing these pillars, he may be subtly suggesting that he possesses the qualities associated with them: strength, stability, and wisdom. This could be a way to assert his authority and superiority over others.
Counteracting the Threat: The film's plot centers around a catastrophic comet approaching Earth. The character's reference to the pillars might be seen as a way to reassure himself, and possibly others, that despite the impending disaster, there are still foundations of strength and knowledge to rely on.
 
Overall, the mention of the pillars serves to reinforce the character's image as a powerful, influential, and perhaps even messianic figure, contrasting with the chaos and uncertainty of the world around him.
 
Ruth (1940): A classic adaptation of the biblical Book of Ruth, featuring Boaz as a central character.
 
The Nativity Story (2006): A film about the birth of Jesus, which might include references to Joachim, Mary's father.
 
The Da Vinci Code (2006): While not explicitly about Freemasonry, this film explores secret societies and historical conspiracies, which might involve Masonic symbolism.
 
Angels & Demons (2009): A Dan Brown novel adaptation that features the Illuminati, a secret society with Masonic connections. 
 
Pan's Labyrinth (2006): A fantasy film set in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. While it might not directly reference "Boaz" or "Joaquin," it could have characters with similar names or explore themes that resonate with the historical context.
 
Jesus mother Mary’s father’s name is Jachin. Saint Joachim is a figure in Christian tradition, particularly in Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism. He is revered as the husband of Saint Anne and the father of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ.   
 
While his story is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, it has been developed and expanded upon in apocryphal texts, such as the Gospel of James. According to these accounts, Joachim and Anne were a devout couple who longed for a child. After years of childlessness, they were blessed with a daughter, Mary, who was later chosen to be the mother of Jesus.   
 
Joachim is often depicted as a righteous and pious man, dedicated to his faith and his family. He is celebrated for his role in the lineage of Jesus Christ and is considered a patron saint of fathers and families.   
 
It's important to note that while Joachim is a revered figure in many Christian traditions, his story is primarily based on apocryphal texts and is not considered canonical Scripture.
 
Boaz is a prominent character in the Book of Ruth in the Bible. He is a wealthy landowner in Bethlehem and a relative of Naomi's deceased husband.   
 
Here are some key points about Boaz:
 
Generosity and Kindness: Boaz is known for his generosity and adherence to the law, which is demonstrated by his kindness to Ruth, a Moabite widow and the daughter-in-law of Naomi.  
Redeemer: Boaz acts as a redeemer for Ruth, marrying her and providing her with a new life.  
Ancestor of Jesus: Boaz is included in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew.
Boaz is often seen as a model of righteousness, compassion, and loyalty in the Bible. His story is a testament to God's faithfulness and provision for those in need.
 
In conclusion, those names were picked by King Solomon. His father, King David, the giant slayer, gave the blueprints to his son to build it. God told David he was not to build the second temple because he was a war King with blood on his hands. The temple must be built in humility with the two pillars in the front that symbolizes the understanding of good and evil and anyone who enters must be clean of the world through righteousness and strength. Although it started as a good symbol, it was corrupted over time by the occultist’s who use it to control the world. I believe both pillars will be built in front of the third temple again and used for controlling the world.
