This may seem like an odd topic, given the current state of the world, but I believe we are uncovering a vast conspiracy that’s deeply rooted in institutionalism and has been impacting the world as a whole.  And to further validate that entire statement, and not to brag, but I was right.  More correct than anybody in the world regarding the war with Iran.  There might be somebody out there who said it as clearly as I did, but out of all the big players in the media, they got it all wrong regarding what Trump was doing with Iran.  As usual, I was the first to say precisely what would happen, and it took days for the rest of the world to figure it out.  So when I say that Atlantis, as a lost civilization, ended up in North America, and the mound builders specifically, it’s more than a fanciful expression of fantasy and fun.  We are discussing institutional failure and why experts can’t be trusted even to tell us the truth about history, let alone advise us on medical issues, or run our lives through government.  When we say that we need freedom from government, the answer to the whys and hows requires an institutional understanding of failure modes.  So when I say that Greek mythology is the evidence of a previous, global civilization of Atlantis I say it to demonstrate that the root cause of much failure in the world can be traced back to mistakes that go back to that ancient civilization, and that we took many of the failures that destroyed that culture and migrated them into modern life.  And our lifeline into that understanding is the stories preserved through Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythology within the Hermetic tradition.  

So when you understand how ancient civilizations either succeeded or failed, you can avoid the same mistakes in our present cultures.  And in understanding that, I can see clear trends that many people miss completely, or don’t understand until it is way too late.  With that said, I have been re-reading the Greek myths so that I can better understand Atlantis as a civilization, because one of the Greek gods, Poseidon, was in charge of that society, and obviously, the hints at what Greek mythology would reveal were more than the fantastic wonderings of human culture.  The stories themselves, like all stories, reveal things about us as a species that are infinitely important in the decision-making process of modern governments and how much of it we need or want.  I don’t like any of the Greek gods of Mt. Olympus, or their children, such as Apollo, Hercules, Achilles, or Hector; they are all overly flawed people who bring great destruction to the lives around them.  And as we look around the world and consider that these stories are far older than the period of the famous philosopher Socrates, from 470 BC to 399 BC, likely by thousands of years.  That would place them in the time of the societies all around the Mediterranean Sea, especially in Malta, and the Minoan worship of the Minotaur, a creature of the famous labyrinth.  We must also pay attention to the Greeks, as without them, the Bible would not have been preserved for us to read today.  And how many stories in the Bible are re-told stories from the very ancient past, put into modern context?  With “modern” representing the latest biblical chronology.  As the story goes, Atlantis was destroyed by a catastrophe, but it was already in a state of prolonged decline, having been overrun by witches and magicians who corrupted the society’s structure in detrimental ways, long before it sank into the sea, as reported by Plato. 

Moral corruption is the element of concern here, and it was analyzed as the failure mode of Atlantis. As people fled that society, they migrated all over the world, taking their stories with them and their study of the stars in attempts to restart society many times over.  We are currently working on doing this exact thing with Mars.  Leaving one society for another is a common theme among all human beings; therefore, we must apply the same logic to the people of Atlantis, who migrated to North and South America, as well as to the Far East, and settled with their technology and religions intact.  However, it would need to be changed subtly, not over a few thousand years, but over tens of thousands of years.  We may find out with a lot more digging, that the Tower of Babel is a summary of what happened to the entire world during this crises period where Atlantis was destroyed and its inhabitants that survived became the North American Indians, or the civilizations of Egypt, Malta, or of Scandinavia, and the British Isles.  And we didn’t see the connection because we made the wrong assumptions about how humans migrated across the globe.  We came up with the idea of human evolution emerging out of Africa without verifying the reliability of that theory, and we constructed a time scale for human development incorrectly.  And now, generations of scientists have gotten everything wrong because they refused to correct each other as new information was presented that contradicted their findings. 

Given that history, it’s essential to understand how cascading failure is an accepted norm in our expert class of modern institutionalists.  Rather than challenge the static norm, they are more prone to adopt it.  Such as what happened with assuming that Trump bombing Iran would start World War III.  Rather than looking at the economic conditions for Iran, we thought we understood the nature of war to the point that we did not address the situation correctly, until Trump bombed them and ended their terror regime in a single night on June 21^st, 2025.  The same flawed logic has dismissed Atlantis as a fantasy from the past, from the kind of minds that wrote the Odyssey and the Iliad, without considering that the stories themselves provided valuable insights into the human mind, which would long be gone as physical evidence through the process of erosion otherwise.  Very little of anything built 10,000 years ago would remain unless it were preserved in the manner we have witnessed at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey.  And when we study the North American mound builders, or the creators of Stonehenge, Avebury, or the entire South American continent, we are seeing what was left of a civilization from long ago that is only preserved in the stories they passed down through generations, that were perhaps organized by the Greeks, and other Mediterranean cultures in their quest for culture.  So, they wrote down everything they could preserve, including the Bible.   To understand ourselves in a modern context, it is essential to understand the past, not the one taught in school.  Because much of that is all wrong.  However, instead, we get glimpses from sources such as the Greek myths.  And what strikes me most about them is the amount of sex in them.  These were not cultures that hunted and gathered; they were concerned with human emotions and relationships, as well as luxury items, in any society that has advanced beyond the necessities.  That means, if the Greeks had time to think about such things 2,000 years BC, or even 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the stories came from a culture that had mastered the means to luxury, where they had free time to think about such things.   This says a lot about the history we are studying, as it provides a very accurate window into the past, much better than carbon dating.
