The Blood Cult of Baal: Destroying the Deep State demand for sacrifice

Since it is the most obvious topic in the world, and I have had to talk about it related to several local cases, many people have approached me wanting some kind of class on the conspiracies that most affect us, and why they are important. And unfortunately, either consciously or unconsciously, most people participate because of their need for group behavior. It’s a problem that has been with us since the beginning of time. The keys to this problem are outlined especially in the Bible, which I’ve had a relationship with for over 50 years. And I’ve read it many, many times. Then, as our times demand, because it’s the main topic of our everyday news, I constantly refer to one key aspect that reminds me of the supporting text of one of my favorite passages, Psalms 82. Now, I have known people who would consider themselves biblical scholars and make their livings interpreting the Bible, and my take on the purpose of the Bible is entirely different. I think all the churches and almost every person get the interpretations of the Bible wrong, the point of the plot. All the Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, have, to my mind, interpreted everything incorrectly, which makes up most of the religions of the entire world. The rest believe that UFOs came to the world and had a massive battle, and we are the result, which is clearly the case in the Mahabharata, which I’ve read too and is a thing all its own. For the Bible, I think the Greeks and Romans saw what they wanted to see when they gave their interpretation of the Bible, and people who wanted to control all humanity carefully edited the text for a very malicious purpose, and that was to preserve the Cult of Baal that has been with us since the beginning of recorded time, predating the Bible by many thousands of years, likely tens of thousands of years.

The Cult of Baal it’s very much alive today, maybe more than ever.

As I said in the video, which covers a lot of needed ground, I see myself as politically right of God, Yahweh. I am far more conservative. But out of all my religious study over the years, I really like Yahweh and I feel his pain, and want to help him. When I read the Bible, I don’t read about an all-powerful god who created the universe. That might be the case from various points of view. What I see is a character trying desperately to destroy the Blood Cult of Baal so that humanity can perpetuate productively into a much more prosperous future. It is Baal who is the Darth Vader of the Bible, not Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil, which are mentioned in the Bible but are not discussed nearly to the level that Baal is. The fight between Baal and Yahweh is the entire point of the Bible, it’s the plot that should be the center of all discussion. Yet the presentation of the material is given to us to serve deities, as humans always did. People either pick Baal, which is always tempting humanity away from God, Yahweh, or they like Yahweh so long as he performs some magic and heals some people from illnesses, almost like they must be bribed into doing the right thing in life; otherwise, they always slip into the temptation to worship Baal. And this is how we get our modern political foundations where “sacrifice” is the core tenant of religion and life as we know it. But what I hear coming from Yahweh is “productivity.” Yahweh, in many ways, wanted people to become capitalists, and he rewarded those who fought to free people of bondage to the Cult of Baal. Think of Elijah at Mt. Carmal, the famous dual between the priests of Baal and Yahweh, 1 Kings 18. Why is it do you think that the “Free Palestine” movement is also capitalist-hating Marxists? The answer is obvious if you look with the right eyes and correct definitions of reality.

Abortion is just one form of the modern sacrifice culture to ancient deities.

The great deception is constructing a society that still serves Baal while the global masses perform the deeds unaware.  This was done by essentially changing the names and focus of our religious figures to lure everyone into continuing to serve Baal in his insatiable appetite for sacrifice.  As people asked me for more information, I thought of these guys at the Deep State Mapping Project, a very new phenomenon.  I don’t think these guys would even exist if not for Trump’s first term in office.  But the crack in the façade occurred, and now there is water squirting out everywhere, and these Deep State Mapping guys are part of that positive erosion of the Deep State control over the world.  When we talk about the Deep State, we are talking about a complicated history that essentially is committed to keeping the world in the mode of sacrificial beings appeasing Baal and his pantheon of losers, cutthroats, and maniacal lunatics who are hundreds of thousands of years old and still linger in our interactions of quantum physics.  Yahweh was rebelling against this Cult of Baal as is captured in that Psalm 82 passage and other places, especially in the actual Jewish word for God, Elohim, which means plural god in many cases, or a reference to the Divine Council that rules everything from beyond our conscious tapestries.  I’ve known about all this for a long time, but the plot became most apparent when all these characters thought they could get away with the COVID killings, massive election fraud, and domination over the media in an attempt to get rid of Trump and the humanity that elected him.  It was the Deep State grasping for power as the old Cult of Baal was being threatened for the first time because of the decentralization of information in our current society. 

Baal has always been a problem

These Deep State Mapping guys have taken many of the studies I have personally conducted and made it very easy for people. It might seem like a crazy QAnon conspiracy theory at first, but I have independently validated most of the maps they offer, especially the Cult of Baal, and can provide testimony to their truth. Trying to shame people into compliance is the way the Cult of Baal has maintained itself for thousands of years, and it is a starving entity that demands humans sustain a cult of sacrifice, which we have. Sacrifice is the central premise behind most of the world’s religions on purpose. Yet, Ayn Rand, an atheist, could see this problem nicely by pointing out that human beings are meant to be productive. If you make things, why would there be a need to sacrifice anything to anyone, no matter how vital the god was? The conspiracy theories of the past, and I read all of Jim Marr’s books, and I miss that guy a lot, aren’t so conspiratorial now that the curtain has been pulled back, and we can see things better than we ever have. And to see this vast conspiracy in the best, most educational way possible, I would suggest the material provided by the Deep State Mapping Project. Things are going to get pretty wild over the next ten years. The Deep State has already lost control, so the water is flowing faster now. I spend a lot of my free time trying to prepare people for it by having them question the reality they have been taught. Yahweh understood, and I like him. I want to help him and spend a lot of my time doing that for purposes that the human race has a great need of. And these guys at deepstatemappingproject.com are doing a great job simplifying the process and vast amounts of information. It took me four or five decades to piece it all together myself. It’s all there for your convenience, and for those curious, I would suggest starting that needed education with their material. There is much to discuss, and an excellent map certainly helps.

Who would ever think to sacrifice their firstborn children to Baal? Apparently, a lot of people, as history has witnessed through oceans of blood and death.

The Problem with Peace: When sperm find themselves in the wrong place

I’m not a big Jesus guy, I love his dad. But I’m not OK with the peace and love that Jesus is always talking about in the New Testament. This idea of the Fall in the Garden being redeemed by Jesus dying on the cross for all our sins sounds to me like a Greek and Roman desire politically to control the mass population for the preservation of their imperial perspective. I prefer the Old Testament and the wrath of Yahweh to the anti-ownership and anti-wealth sentiment in the New Testament. I grew up with such religious assumptions, but over the years and after traveling a time or two to Asia to see things for myself, I think there is a big piece of the story in the Bible that is missing from its regional perspective, which is directly applicable and is being exploited in a very modern way. I think Jesus studied the Hindu religion as it is articulated by the blue skin of the poisoned Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, which is essentially part of book 6 of the Mahabharata. The Hindu religion actually goes back to the days of Abraham emerging from Mesopotamia, so these influences along the Silk Road are pretty obvious, and so are the many contextual references to Jesus in the many war-torn areas of that part of the world that seem very intent to conceal this information. Apparently, the Vatican knows all about Jesus studying in India, and by the time he came along, Buddhism was already 500 years old. So the New Testament starts to make a lot more sense when you understand how its perspective was influenced along the Silk Road, which is a vast span of territory that is mysteriously not part of modern Archaeology and is war-torn even though there really isn’t much going on there economically these days. So why so much war and terrorism?

Peace is for suckers. I love the God of the Old Testament

I find value in just about all religions, even Islam.  If it helps people relate to higher concepts, it’s wonderful.  But we must consider the political implications of faith and how they are often weaponized to rule large groups of people, and that is what I see emerging out of Hindu religions and Buddhism.  Not by device, but by default.  I heard a joke the other day about sperm that provoked all this contemplation that is actually very relevant.  It becomes our business because just about every rock band that we’ve had for decades points to India and specifically the Hindu and Buddhist faith, and says we should calm ourselves down and be more like them.  Even in Christianity, we are told to be more like Jesus, including the Jesus movement that came along during the hippie era, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the Helter Skelter cult.  Jim Jones and many crazed religious lunatics have taken this passive value toward life and become maniacal dictators of personal destruction.  I know a lot of Hindu people, and I’ve read all their religious texts, and I’m not a fan.  I don’t like Gandhi.  And I’m not a fan of Jesus offering to sacrifice himself for the benefit of all humanity.  I think everyone has read it all wrong from the very start, and to understand that, we have to understand the vast influence that the Old Silk Road had in our history and what role it still plays today.   My suggestion is that the war in the Near and Middle East is purposeful to conceal the vast history of the most enormous land mass on earth.  Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep our focus on just European history and the Renaissance, and the efforts of the Greeks and Romans to create civilization.

So the joke goes like this, and I’m sure many people have heard this, but I think it’s very relevant to these religions of peace that are so prevalent and wrong for the human race.  A couple of sperm find themselves injected into a situation, and they are eager to find an egg for the fertilization process, as we understand these things from sex ed.  It takes thousands of sperm, but only one will penetrate the egg, and a life is born—the miracle of life.  So here are a few sperm injected into a sexual union, and they are looking for an egg.  One is ambitious and works hard to beat the other sperm to the prize.  But there is a wise sperm who is saying to the ambitious one, “Why are you working so hard.”  Of course, the ambitious sperm says, “I want to be the first to get to the egg.”  But the wise sperm says, “But dude, we’re inside some dude’s “exit.”  There is no egg, so why try?”  To frame a homosexual experience nicely.    That is the essential message behind the Hindu faith, Zoroastrianism, as it developed in Iran in 600 BC.  Buddhism as it developed in 500 BC.  Jesus started Christianity due to studying in those many lost years in India, in the Kashmir region 500 years later.  Islam would come along 600 years after that as an aggressive religion invented by the Arabs as a reaction to their continued occupation by the Romans, who went underground as an empire and became a church intent to rule over Europe and the world.  We have falsely centered our study on the Mediterranean region when we should have looked at the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea all over the Himalayas.  Many people were displaced by war, and they had developed a means to deal with its many disappointments—the religions of indifference, peace, and non-action. 

So what are we dealing with here, a vast conspiracy of Bilderberg, World Economic Forum, or Rothchild manipulations who have constructed all these religions to control mass society and perpetually keep wars going in the region to prevent anybody from learning the truth?  Because they want the masses to adopt peaceful beliefs and not fight back against their intrusion.  I’d say it goes deeper into that and was best explained by Paul in the Book of Ephesians when these manipulators were identified as “principalities.”  These creatures work to undo the world God made and stand against goodness as defined by the perpetuation of the human race, as chronicled in the Old Testament, which is older than all the mentioned religions.  My argument is that these principalities have plotted against Yahweh for many thousands of years, and many of the conflicts that are dealt with today are directly associated.  When Jesus and the rest of the Hindus sought to get away from the mess in the mountains of the Himalayas and started so many religions that developed along the Silk Road, they all missed the point.  The goal of life is not to avoid reaching the egg and create a new life.  All the sperm should at least try, even if they are in the wrong place.  It’s not their fault; they should still try to do what they were designed to do: create a new life.  The purpose of humans is to fight and develop as a result of battlefield victory, so in that regard, peace is bad for civilization.  I can understand what Jesus and the Hindus were after.  Buddhism is a great way to manage stress in life.  But like the wise sperm who knew where he was and pointed out the pointless task in front of them, all creatures should fully embrace their job in the hopes that one of them will reach an egg and bring forth new life, either in a physical form or perhaps only in an idea.  But in creation, everything should be dedicated.  Which the Hindu perspective of “non-action” stands against.

Buddha was from Israel: It was the West that influenced the East, not the other way around

It can be earth-shattering to learn the truth of things and to admit that much of what we have been told about history was constructed as a way to control us.  If you control what people believe, you can control the world, and controlling our knowledge of history and religion has certainly been an attempt to control the entire human race in malicious, and detrimental ways.  Recently, a lot of people found it very disturbing that I wrote about the very real possibility that Jesus Christ spent much of his life in India and that after the crucifixion event, he lived and found his way back to Kashmir in North India.  I understand the turmoil, it was the Muslim religion that proposed that Jesus lived into a ripe old age, and in so saying, it takes away the connection of Christ to God and makes him just a man, which then removes the original sin and the redemption proposal for the entire human race.  But I don’t trust the Romans either who put together the books of the Bible translated from the Greek into what we know about the entire process.  Jesus, based on reports about his life, looks to have had a lot of influence from the Hindu and Buddhist religions, so the idea that his remains to this very day, easily verified by DNA testing in Kashmir, disturbs a lot of people.  But I don’t think it should.  It is better to know the truth than not to.  And to understand why Jesus and the Jewish people as a whole would have even spent time in the Kashmir region.  It tells of a much larger story, not just the regional one of the Near East that we were given.  But opens up the door to a truth that is likely behind many of the modern wars we are dealing with today.  To my mind, the turmoil of the region is purposeful by those who want to control us and keep us from learning the truth about our real history.

So while we’re at it, we might as well tell more truth that is important to actual understanding.  A lot of people who want to tear down the Christian religion, as not being very original, often say that Buddhism is 500 years older.  And that Jesus learned much of what he did about God from studying Buddhism.  Well, it is also very highly likely that the person who became Buddha, Siddhartha Buddha, the prince who found enlightenment and turned away from a life of wealth and comfort was actually from a family who had Hebrew roots.  In the depictions of Buddha all over the East, he has oriental features, but in all actuality, it looks like Buddha was an Israeli.  This, of course, is very consistent with what we know of history and the origin of most modern religions and what we know about them.  While the Hindu faith was alive and well during the time of Abraham, and the interactions along the Old Silk Road were quite prevalent, reshaping the old religions of Mesopotamia and adopting the thinking of a vast span of trade territory, it was the people of Yahweh, the nation of Israel who formed the most cohesive approach to religion that the human race had since then ever attempted actually influenced the rest of the world.  It was the Old Testament that was being studied as the Hebrew people migrated along that Silk Road East and up into Europe over a span of time that pre-dated the creation of Zoroastrianism in 600 BC, then Buddhism in 500 BC.  It wasn’t until 600 AD, a thousand years later that Islam came on the scene and added their take to the Biblical stories. 

Yet in many books, many long destroyed, some still in libraries throughout India and China, there are stories of Jesus in India, and tombs of Moses and Aaron, even Mary Magdalene.  There is a Temple to King Solomon and many other influences that show at least the migration of ideas that were important to the people in the region who predated the other known religions for thousands of years.  So much of the Old Testament is older than Buddhism and Zoroastrianism, which have been said to have shaped Christianity instead of vice versa.  It was said of Buddha by his wife that he was a tall fellow who was very attractive and had blue eyes.  Simple DNA testing could confirm everything, and from those who have, we find that typical DNA matches all over the Middle East, even down to the pharaohs of Egypt, had fair features instead of regional contributions.  The bottom line was that people were moving around the large continent from Europe to Japan much earlier and more often than we have previously acknowledged.  And that the family of Siddhartha Buddha was Hebrew in origin.  Now, that shouldn’t change anything; Buddhism is a wonderful religion that much of the world uses to grasp higher concepts.  But to say that the East made the West is not valid.  It was the other way around and adds a lot of faith to the efficacy of the Hebrew Bible as a history book of merit rather than some copy by the Romans of the latest religion created to control mass populations. 

So even if Jesus was influenced by Buddhism, by the time Jesus would have been to India, specifically the Kashmir region, it was still the people of Israel who had moved from west to east and influenced people in such dramatic ways.  The premier reason for developing a people of Israel to stand against the cannibals and advocates of human sacrifice of the previous cultures of the land of Canaan still has the best results the world has ever seen in creating a practical and effective society.  And that influence had an impact that would eventually shape all the other religions we know today.  The indication that the people of Israel migrated into the Indian region in what is now a war-torn area of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and into the Himalayan regions had been traveling there for thousands of years, and it makes perfect sense.  But we have been deceived into believing that the influences were the other way around as if to undermine the effectiveness of the biblical study.  It shouldn’t matter what the skin color was of the various religious characters, but what they were teaching.  Yet, in an attempt to control all humanity, we have been led to believe that the East made the West, to become then confused on how to live life in general.  Was Buddhism and its joyful participation in the sorrows of the world a better approach to the laws of Yahweh?  The answer is no.  Out of all the religions, including those of the Greeks, the Romans, and all those along the Old Silk Road, it was Yahweh and his triumph over the legions of doom with Baal and the gang that was the most significant religious proposal ever recorded to last into modern times.  And those efforts collided when Buddha, the ancient Israeli, abandoned the dancing girls to live the life of enlightenment, which Jesus would also advance as a teaching.  It all started with a relationship with Yahweh and Abraham.  And the rest, what we would say, is history.

The Principalities of Doom: Protecting your Soul in the Akashic Records from an evil, universal menace

To really understand the enemy, we must get beyond the surface of things.  It’s not enough to deal with the politics of the obvious, the lives that our senses were meant to deal with.  But to the many other influences that are quite prevalent and looming.  When people ask me who the enemy is in our modern political world, my common response is that they are principalities, hostile members of the Divine Council who were always giving Yahweh a hard time.  I explain to them that there is a very complicated politics attached to this Divine Council that has always been with us, even before we were we.  And an excellent place to start with that understanding is by reading books by Linda Howe such as How to Read the Akashic Records.  I like Linda Howe quite a lot, and she has a lot of books and what they all deal with is unlocking the memory and potential of your human soul and the history it has over a long period of time.  By dealing with the Akashic Records, you can not only deal with the details of your own human soul, the eternal part of yourself that lasts essentially forever, but also communicate with people long gone and, in some cases, people who will become important to you who haven’t even been born yet.  I find Linda’s Akashic Records to be fascinating, and a good step at getting to the real problem of evil in the world and how it spreads.  And is one of the better means of stopping such evil, by going to the lair where many of these principalities reside.  Most cultures have some basic understanding of the human soul and how to at least manage it to the best of their five senses.  Some of the methods used in the Akashic Records can at least help you establish a relationship that stops giving free reign to the many, and infinite malicious characters who reside to attack your essence in the still unlocked mysteries of quantum mechanics where many living things plot, and scheme with the same voracious detail as the most cunning K-Street lobbyists. 

It’s not enough for me to call evil beings and spirits devils or demons.  The truth of the matter requires more definition to begin to understand it.  But when you look around the world at the kinds of problems that start out of nowhere, then consider what the strategic need is, you often need to do more than just pull back the curtain on a Wizard of Oz hiding there.  You must understand why the guy is hiding behind the curtain, who made the curtain, and why.  And to do that, you must deal with malicious principalities who are clearly against God’s plan where we find ourselves as battlefield pawns to a much larger story of interdimensional significance.  For instance, when you look at the motivations of the current terrorist sentiments of Hamas, the Free Palestine movement, it’s not enough to say that the Devil made everyone do it, even if such a statement is headed in the direction of the truth.  The motivations are more complicated than even what the World Economic Forum Marxists could do on their own.  Of course, they are responsible for what they do in life, but why do they believe the things they do, what kind of dreams do they have, and what makes those dreams pop into their heads for which they build political schemes in life to deal with?  The question as to why people believe the things they do is a more critical question than just dealing with the after-effects of their menace. 

One thing that is dealt with in the Akashic Records is the premise of past lives, which then ties some of this to Hindu culture and a way of thinking that steps away from the development of an individual soul, which I would say is the meaning of life.  I’m in a pretty unique thought process on that, and I thought about an excellent way for my verification while I watched people at a Shinto shrine in Japan on a street corner in Kobe.  To my way of thinking, most people get the entire purpose of life wrong, but we have been working these things out for many thousands of years, which is part of a much larger universal process.  Human beings are developing as a species for purposes that are certainly a concern for the principalities of all existence.  And they are highly motivated by how our souls grow.  What’s good for us is likely very bad for them, so much of what our politics consists of on the nightly news has traces of the everlasting politics within it.  But I do not think that memories of past lives, or even famous people from the past, such as having memories of being Joan of Arc or Napolean, is that we were those actual people.  But the DNA in our bodies, just like the water we consume, is billions of years old and likely has some memory, and when we think we are talking to ourselves as a memory, we are talking to these many employees in our bodies who all have unique histories and a vast experience that interacts with us, but may not be “us” as we typically define it. 

The development of our soul through our lives is a purpose that eludes most people, and of course, to fulfill their own political objectives; the principalities of doom are doing what they feel they must do to protect themselves from our soul’s development.  If they can get people to stay focused on conditions that make them easy to control, then the politics of their concern ease them considerably.  But if you are a threat to them, even though you may not intentionally do so, then they will seek politically to eliminate you from their plans, which is the reason that things are so wacky these days.  These forces have always been looming in the background, and living beings developed various religions to deal with them and manage some appeasement relationships.  But when things get out of control for those principalities, of course, they will attack the very soul of those most of a threat to them and attempt to burden them in ways that often aren’t perceptual in the regular ways.  Be very cautious about why you think the things you do, and always question where those sources come from.  They may not be friendly; in fact, I would argue that they are likely very malicious.  The politics of Heaven are much more complicated than our terrestrial lives, and we should expect that.  Just because we haven’t managed to have a relationship with those elements, it doesn’t mean that the human race isn’t on a similar path as our souls, and we are growing an understanding that is very much a threat to the eternal order in a good way.  But to understand this view of existence, the Akashic Records is a great place to start in getting to know the real you, not the creature that is born, and grows up and dies.  But your eternal nature, the real you who, through life, is being developed as you live.  And it is the real you, not the person that looks at you in the mirror, that many of these evil principalities are trying to destroy before you ever figure out what they are really up to.

The Gnashing of Teeth is Coming: It is time for the righteous to have revenge over evil

I don’t think we see a prophecy fulfilled from the Book of Revelation in our present time.  But I do think a lot of very evil, and vile people are trying to make it look that way to hide their various crimes against humanity, such as the election fraud of 2020, the unleashing of COVID by a lab in Wuhan, and the depopulation plan that looks to have been attached to the vaccine mandates.  You could add the destruction of the global economy in there for good measure, the many evils started by the World Economic Forum to establish their Great Reset into international, China-style communism, and you could say things have not been fun.  There are lots of good reasons for people to feel anxious.  But I do think that the biblical references to the gnashing of teeth, especially in Matthew 13:42, are pretty appropriate for the times that are coming, and those people deserve all the pain and misery that come their way for all the vile acts they have done.  The gnashing of teeth is mentioned in a few other places in the bible, and it refers to the response of punishment on the path to justice where the bad guys get their day after a long wait to come.  Specifically, Matthew 13:42 says, “And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”  That sounds like getting off easy, but we can go with it for the context of this article.  It continues in 43 by saying, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”  Not everyone has such ears to hear, and we see that on the nightly news.  Yet righteousness is about to have its day, and I’ll say to all the bad guys out there.  You had your time; we nicely gave you a chance, and now it’s time to pay, and pay you must. 

My thoughts about this came from a comment on this site from someone responding to me on my position on Issue 1, which is a vile constitutional attack on Ohio in new ways to introduce the most radical abortion policy in America that might as well be a modern version of sacrificing children to Baal and Moloch from the ancient land of Canaan, the very reason that God, Yahweh deemed that the Israelites should seize that land and destroy those people for their horrendous villainy.  Upon reading that comment, I thought it was quite suitable for the context needed to describe our present condition.  And it is not for the righteous to suffer as they have now for far too long.  It is up to the perpetrators of evil to gnash their teeth into a fine paste as they suffer punishment for all they have done.  Because what they did, they did on purpose.  They did it with maliciousness.  They had murder on their mind to hold power and manipulate the freedom of others in an occurrence of evil that is far worse than any other previous point in history, on such a vast scale that the human victims don’t even have a point of reference to draw from, except the Bible.  Only such events and thoughts have been captured over a vast span of human history, only to be reflected now when the world’s evil has so pompously displayed itself for all to see.  The gnashing of teeth indicates that it’s their turn to endure the pain they caused and for justice to find them swiftly and ruthlessly. 

There are other parts of the Bible where the gnashing of teeth is mentioned, and the point of reference is always where the wicked must pay for their actions under the hand of the righteous.  All this terror was unleashed with the assumption that the people would behave like sheep and go willingly to the slaughterhouse, and that part of that cover story was to use Biblical reference from the Revelation prophecy as a mass acceptance of fate itself.  Bad guys will be bad guys; we should all accept it and move on.  Jesus would come again to judge the living and the dead; we could go back to our business of appeasing our betters and leave the world alone to its crime and syndicates of ominous power and the abuses that spawn from it.  The bad guys in the world are blowing on the fires set by evil to perpetuate an agenda they profit from.  No question that is the case with Hamas attacking Israel, then all these Marxist-based Palestinian supporters rallying to the cause of victimizing themselves in the aftermath, as if the punishment coming to them, the needed gnashing of the teeth, was somehow Israel’s fault for just existing.  It all goes back to the establishment of Israel in the first place by Yahweh, who looked at the evils of Canaan, which would become Palestine, and deemed it unfit for occupation by a people who worshipped vile, despicable gods from the ancient past with bloodthirsty sacrifice.  Honestly, the issue was never appropriately settled, and now that same evil has been distributed upon the world stage in ways nobody has ever seen before, and now there is a judgment day upon us.  The righteous have the opportunity to gnash the teeth of the enemy. 

All these prosecutors who are trying to eradicate President Trump, to keep him from running in 2024, have it coming, and we don’t want to hear a lot of crying from them when gnashing their teeth will be the only acceptable response.  They did it to themselves.  Along with the punishments that must come from the Covid crowd and all the depopulation murderers who have been using many means of human destruction to propel their deathly agenda, such as abortion in Ohio, the killing of people with dangerous medicine which is very much a present problem and the complete degradation of our health system to accelerate pain and suffering so that big pharma can profit off the misery.  Yes, there are many things to pay for, and the righteous have the right and obligation to unleash their fury.  It wasn’t us who did all these evil things.  We didn’t conduct our lives in such a way.  And those who did have justice coming at them to grind them into dust, where there will be lots of gnashing of teeth.  It’s not like this is the first kind of righteous response that was called for.  But it is for the scale we are dealing with here, global in nature, essentially impacting every person in the world at the same time.  This has indeed been a global menace that has unleashed itself behind the spread of Marxism, and liberal politics masked behind secular fairness for the perpetuation of death and destruction at every opportunity.  And judgment day, in many ways, is the natural response.  And as evil is judged, they should expect things to go badly for them, and they will pray for the day when the gnashing of teeth is the worst.  Because they willingly participated in all this evil with the intent to destroy everything in their path.  And now they have been caught and will have to pay in ways like never before.  And as they gnash their teeth in the fires of Hell and eternal damnation, screaming from the top of their lungs at the pain of it all they need to remember the most important thing.  They did it to themselves.

Make Sure to Judge and Judge Often: Learning from Ecclesiastes 10:8

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard come out of the mouth of another human being is, “Don’t judge.”  Of course, we should judge, and we should put up high barriers around the things that we love.  I say, “judge and judge often.”  Have strong opinions and cast judgment aggressively everywhere.  And to best illustrate the necessity of this value, I think Ecclesiastes 10:8 best describes the need for review by saying, “he that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”  One of the reasons we have the mess we have today on so many fronts is that we allowed ourselves to turn off this valuable ability that the human race has to change their environment.  Most animals in the world cannot come up with such conceptual faculties.  They can only function from their biological impulse.  But human beings can alter their environment through their intellect, and in that way, creating something of value and then protecting that value from the impediments of evil is one of the greatest attributes that we have, which is the meaning of that Ecclesiastes phrase.  We live in a world now run by the snakes of evil, as portrayed in the Garden of Eden story.  There are always snakes; the world is full of them and on many layers of life.  They don’t just come in one shape or size, but many.  Snakes are abundant in the world, and they are seeking evil for the way that evil feeds itself.  So, to advance in life, human beings must come up with some way that isolates the mechanisms of the snake, of evil, in our lives.  In our culture, we have created property rights and then defended those rights with barriers, represented in Ecclesiastes as “hedges.”

We can call something evil by its desire to remove value from consideration.  When the snake tempted Eve, we see clearly that the desire was to focus her mind on good and evil instead of eating from the Tree of Eternal Life, which is to say, a life of value.  For evil, it’s in removing value from society that it does its work, whether we are talking about desecrating our bodies from being temples of God, to the kind of language we use, or even having casual Fridays in a business climate.  Divorce has been one of the most intrusive evils to be enacted in our culture, the desire to destroy the concept of family so that children are left vulnerable in an evil world to the intentions of every vile specimen.  Evil wants easy access to the creations that spawn out of value, so desecrating any of those values is their primary objective.  It is why evil wants people to do drugs to abandon their religions, their families, their jobs, their politics, and their values.  Evil is the snakes always tempting Eve away from the Tree of Eternal Life and into the duality of conflict, which sin always controls by controlling what people value or don’t.  Judging others is essential because it does not allow evil to hide in the background of ambiguity and is at the core of any civilized society.  The Bible contains excellent wisdom accumulated from the efforts of the human race over many thousands of years, so it goes well beyond any religious assumption for the afterlife.  What the Bible does best is reflect values from lives well lived or not so well lived and provide that wisdom for future generations to build a foundation of judgment from. 

And that is why it is dangerous to cut down the hedges because that is where the snakes hide.  And when you cut them away, and there is no hiding place, the snakes will surely bite.  Hedges are barriers that we often place around our property to make sure that other people recognize our boundaries and our values.  We value things, whether it be a home, a spouse, children, a job, or a car.  It should be obvious when studying Marxism that much of the premise of collectivism is in removing barriers to ownership, such as saying, my wife, my country, my family, etc.  This is why open marriages are such a disgusting concept, the idea of sharing a spouse with strangers for the sexual excitement of it.  Not only does it desecrate the value of a lifetime commitment to another person, but it also defiles the idea of a marriage that creates a family at the most foundational level.  So we wear a wedding ring as a hedge to let others know we have boundaries.  Snakes might gather there to hide in wait, hoping to catch someone off guard and stumble into their lair of hiding so they might bite them or even consume them.  That is why we have locked doors in our homes, to keep out people who might do us harm.  That’s why we lock our cars in a parking lot so that anybody can’t get into them and drive them away.  So, too, must we have locks on our most personal thoughts and ideas.  Being open to the world is not a good thing because it allows the snakes of our lives easy entry into our most personal possessions.  And yes, the keys to Western Civilization are creating values and defending them because, in that process, we make social value, which the rest of the world is starving for. 

Of course, there must be standards and established protections around those things you love and care for.  And that the evil of the world will embed itself in those barriers but will keep clear of those things you value because of their natural inclination to hide.  That is the way to manage evil.  Not having standards allows evil to move anywhere and to hide in the open, where chaos can camouflage their intentions, which is the problem of modern times.  When we ask why there is so much evil in the world, we have removed our hedges and allowed sin to hide among us at close range instead of the safe distance of our established boundaries.  We must judge, set up barriers against evil, and cast opinions about it.  Once we listened to the dumb serpents in the Garden of Eden, we opened ourselves to this vile existence of living with and putting up with evil instead of keeping our minds on the things that matter.  And we learn what matters through possessions that we seek to protect their value from the world’s evils.  In that process, we keep our minds on the Tree of Knowledge, on the things that matter.  To best fight evil, we must maintain hedges that keep it from the things we most value.  We don’t open ourselves to evil and live without judgment.  To do that, we become no better than animals and every other lifeform just eating, reproducing, and fulfilling some lifecycle of some cellular decomposition.  To live our best life, turn to Ecclesiastes 10:8 and learn the wisdom of the past to bring value to the future and keep those snakes obscured at a safe distance.  Because at every opportunity, they will bite you because that’s what snakes do.

Issue 1 in Ohio, the Cult of Death: The evil that was happening in the land of Canaan is behind the modern Democrat intention to change the Constitution to include abortion

Ironically, all the same characters who support the Palestinian attacks against Israel support Issue 1 in Ohio. I, of course, am a hard no on Issue 1, which is an attempt to put a radical abortion agenda into the Ohio Constitution up to the 9th month. It’s an outrageous death cult that we are dealing with here that is precisely the same as when Yahweh granted the land of Canaan to the Hebrew people because the Palestinians in the area, the “indigenous people” were sacrificing their firstborn children to the gods of Baal, Moloch, and Ishtar and God had enough of it. So, the state of Israel was created to silence a vast evil that had been taking place. And no less than that is the scope of the problems with Issue 1. When the previous Issue 1 that failed in August of 2023, we knew this attack by the various death cults outside the state was coming. They had targeted Ohio because it had a low threshold to bypass the various conservative governments in the House, the Senate, and as governor and could change laws with a simple 50+1 majority. So as soon as Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court and kicked back to the states, some conservatives saw the vulnerability. But it was too little too late. A vote was taken to attempt to raise the threshold for constitutional adjustments to something more reasonable, like 60%. But the out-of-state money poured in, and the push for this death cult activated all the losers, the murderers, the slack-jawed drug users, the trans crowd, the gays, the two or three real Joe Biden supporters, the lowlifes, the criminals, and the Israel haters into voting in August in what was supposed to be a surprise election. But Issue 1 was defeated with around 57%, so now this cult of the death abortion issue is on the November ballot as the new Issue 1. And I would like to see it fail.

But on this one, I’m taking the long view.  I can see that the vile Democrats think they have this one in the bag with early polling, along the same lines as what Issue 1 failed on in August.  Around 57% support this cult of death for various reasons, the same reasons that Israel was constantly challenged by the temptations to worship Baal with human sacrifice.  When people wonder how the ancient Canaanites could have killed their firstborn children screaming for their lives just to appease a god, all they have to do is look at the supporters of Issue 1 in Ohio for their answer.  The same could be said of them.  What the abortion activists want to do to the Ohio Constitution and the money from out of state that set the table for it is nothing short of human sacrifice.  This proposal is so radical that even contentious arguments about the 20-week ban, the Heartbeat Law, and even parental notification will be thrown out the window without any legislative input, and the evil menaces out there have drool dripping from their mouths at the prospect of turning such a red state as Ohio is into a victim of blue state politics with a simple majority vote.  In an off-year election where a president isn’t on the ballot, Democrats think they will see a surge in support over Issue 1 and the pot smoking Issue 2, another subject for discussion.  I see teacher unions puffing out their chests already through extremely liberal school board members who they think will get elected because they supported this cult of death.  So unless something drastic happens with turnout on election day in November, it looks like a long fight is ahead of us on this one. 

It is hard for good people to grasp just how evil Issue 1 is, or abortion rights in general, are.  But then again, this isn’t a modern problem; it’s a death cult that has always been with the human race.  It was the reason that Israel was created in the first place, to stand against that death cult.   Over time, it has been hard for people to stand with Israel and the various death cults of the world and stand up for progress and human decency.  Many conservative voters will sit at home on election night; at least, the supporters of Issue 1 expect that to be the case.  They think they will sneak this one under the fence, just as Jezebelle had corrupted her husband and the nation into Baal worship and the eventual destruction of the Jewish people.  We have that same evil menace manifesting behind out-of-state abortion groups seeking revenge over the federal Supreme Court position by targeting states like Ohio for this vicious attack.  And it is an attack; there is no soft way to put it.  There are plenty of losers in Ohio at the various Democrat strongholds to get this Issue 1 passed, especially in the college portions of the state where Democrat politics have seeded themselves into an otherwise very conservative state.  But it would take an outrageously high turnout of conservatives to stop Issue 1, which is hopeful but unrealistic.  As a result, millions of lives will be lost, which makes those functioning from evil in the world very happy. 

But it’s not too late yet.  I would recommend everyone go out and vote.  Don’t take this one lying down.   History shows us that we will have to confront evil like this many times in our lives and throughout time.  And this is undoubtedly one of them.  Encourage your friends and family to get out and vote against Issue 1.  Vote against this Cult of Death that Democrats want to bring to our sacred state of Ohio. But be prepared for the day after the election; the liberal media is already poised to throw gas on the fire and show Ohio as a victory and a ripe target for radical politics.  What is being attacked is the core of Ohio values, and to turn it into a complicit blue state for the vile intentions of actual evil that have their fingerprints all over Issue 1.  So we cannot lose our composure.  There are many ways to fight corruption, and we certainly will have to.  But before we resort to those methods, we can solve the problem with an election, which would be best.  Fighting these death cults is a mandate of existence that will occur with intense voracity regardless of what is written on a page and called law.  Ethics can and will be defended irrespective of any legislative endeavor.  I would recommend that we all be much more vocal about these cults of death and not let them hide in the background of our society and to shame them into oblivion.  But first, show up and make your voice known on Issue 1.  Give it your best effort at defeating it at the ballot box.  Then, depending on the obvious outcome, but nothing is sure until it is, we’ll go from there to defend life from the grips of death that come from all Democrat policies and their desires of doom for the human race.

When Jerusalem Was a Space Command Center: Why there are wars, to keep power in the hands who have seized it and use ignorance to suppress rivals

Examining the mysterious site of Ishi-no-Hoden in Japan

I find that science fiction and fantasy often contain more truths than what mainstream sources would ever admit to, such as television shows like Battlestar Galactica, where the concept of human seeding on earth was explored, or Lord of the Rings, where the nature of evil in some far ancient past, or future, is the dominating topic, or the Robert Jordan series, The Wheel of Time that was a very good book series that dealt with essentially the Vico Cycle that I talk about so much. And, of course, Star Wars has been a favorite of mine that was set a long time ago in a far-distant galaxy. Not even our own. Examining abstract concepts in science fiction certainly does help us deal with reality much more effectively and provokes the questions we should be asking. And when you start to do that, you can see truths lost to others, such as why there are so many global wars. Well, especially in the hot zone of the Old Silk Road, many of the conflicts we have these days, such as the war in Israel, and then of Ukraine and the whole Russian puzzle with China and other places that don’t have massive economies, but are perpetually in conflict for some mysterious reason. And I would offer that the best evidence indicates that these regions have very ancient pasts, far extending into what we today consider old. We think of a few thousand years as a lot, but the evidence from many sources, not the same idiots who tried to tell us not to take Ivermectin to deal with the lab-created virus, COVID-19, and that there was no election fraud in 2020, have tried to tell us about true history. But the result of decentralized media that is finally talking about real, substantive issues indicates that the wars of our modern times are purely created to conceal a deep and ancient past, allowing a corrupt global network to remain in power over the human race through sheer deceit.

The Millennium Falcon at the Black Spire Outpost

And that’s what I was thinking about when my family recently visited a very favorite place I have, the Star Wars land at Disney World, Galaxy’s Edge. I’ve always loved that particular science fiction story, and specifically the spaceship, the Millennium Falcon so to see a land where all these things were built and you can walk around and interact with them, was magnificent. So, I found that I was able to get my family to Disney World and to that specific place and we had one of the most marvelous days of our lives, together. But there had been something bothering me over these last few years since I had last visited what they call The Black Spire Outpost that I resolved while there with my family. I had a lot of time to think about it, and it all came together for me during this recent visit. The place reminds me of what Ancient Jerusalem would have looked like in a period of largely unrecorded history, around 8,000 BC, when that region of the world was said to have been a space command center for a landing corridor that was very important in the near east area, where many of our most significant religions were born, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hindu, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. And the haunting passage from the Bible that I couldn’t get out of my head was that from Genesis 22:2, “and he said, take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” This action was in around the 2070s BC, long after any settlement of a spaceport in Jerusalem would have been located there. All Abraham would have seen of Mt. Moriah, where King Solomon, over a thousand years later, would build the great temple and place the Ark of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments, upon that exact spot where Isaac was to be sacrificed, in that precise spot. In 3000 to 5000 years, most stone structures erode away into nothing, so anything that would have been in that region at that time would have long eroded from 8000 BC.

My kids

I’m a fan of Zecharia Sitchin’s books. Many people, especially mainstream scientists, have said that his books are purely science fiction and not based on accurate science. Even Graham Hancock has said such things. But I think those are not fair assessments, and I think time has proven that Zecharia Sitchin was very authentic. He has since died, but his work lives on in his students, who have done some exciting work on the activity on earth that may have occurred based on stories passed down through various cultures that are just as scientific as anything else over a roughly 450,000 year period, which paves the way not only for our current world religions but also the notion we have of kingships and even burial practices. After all the lies that the world’s governments have told us, more people are looking at things that used to be considered wild conspiracy theories and reexamining them with fresh eyes. When looked at with this updated perspective, it becomes evident that the power structures on Earth who desperately want to hold on to what they consider royal bloodlines given to them through heredity wish to maintain their right to rule Earth by controlling what we know of the past, so that is the real cause of all these ridiculous wars. If there are wars, actual science can’t do any research because those regions are too dangerous for that kind of activity. I’m also a fan and dedicated member of the Biblical Archaeology Review Society, and I understand and sympathize with their task of digging and gathering evidence in such a hostile part of the world, politically.

How things likely looked, a long time ago. But not so far away.

For me, uniquely, I had just stepped off a plane from Japan while I was with my family at the Black Spire Outpost and had visited the very ancient site of Ishi-no-Hoden and studied how the modern city of Osaka was built around the Kufan tombs that were built in the shape of keyholes, very mysterious.  Going to the Black Spire Outpost reminded me of what an ancient Jerusalem would have looked like well before there was Abraham, Isaac, or the Jewish people.  A mixture of high technology that could navigate the known galaxy, perhaps even the universe that has long since come and gone interlaced with primitive structures and building methods erected quickly to facilitate the need from a growing economy not rooted to travel on earth.  But what was left behind was some remote memory of these actions lost only to telling stories and an understanding of that truth within our subconscious brains, which most of us share.   And those memories are most effectively communicated through science fiction.  Yet, at the Black Spire Outpost, you can walk around and touch something that may well have been part of our far ancient past only manifested through storytelling.  But it is as accurate as anything else—perhaps more.  The wars in the world that dominate much of our political discussion these days are meant to hide the truth from us, which is why I am talking about them more than ever.  Because we have been lied to, we must have a culture that deals with the past to have an honest future.  The reason that Jerusalem is such a hot zone even to this day is that power is sought in concealing the truth and giving people controlled narratives through religion that keeps them in power and prevents people from learning their true history, which is buried under the streets of Jerusalem well past the typical periods that we have always thought of as ancient, but in reality, are just scratching the surface.

Why Standing With Israel is Good: Western Civilization is worth defending from those who want to stay primitive and fight against human progress

So why stand with Israel and against the Palestinian position of destruction?  I thought it was interesting in my neighborhood this morning to drive by a home with a flag of the Palestinians in the front yard blowing along proudly in the breeze.  They also had a sign for Julie Shaffer, the liberal school board member on the corrupt Lakota school board.  Why did those things go together? Because they do, and why should people have an opinion on the matter even though it’s a conflict on the other side of the world?  Well, the first thing I would say is that we are primarily lucky to have been born in the United States, those reading this.  If you have traveled any of the world, it is not as nice of a place to live.  I have been to quite a few places worldwide, and there is never a better moment than landing back in America.  I did this recently late on a Saturday night.  It was just me traveling on that trip so I was alone with my car, which needed gas.  It had been over a week since I had my favorite drink in the world, a Mello Yello, so I stopped at one of the gas stations across the highway from CVG airport for both things.  There was a Mexican attendant who was blaring country music and watching some Latino talk show on his computer who was the attendant and it was just us late at night.  The world was pretty quiet, and I felt fortunate to call America home from where I had been to where I was.  And that happens to me every time I travel, even to places like Paris and London.  No matter where in the civilized world or the primitive, there is no place like home, truly. 

One of the reasons I like the Bible so much is that it has very clear standards.  It’s not just religious utterances, but it has a story about the progress of the necessity for cleanliness and has an overall decision about the state of nature as a whole.  Yahweh is my kind of God.  For people who know me, and this goes back a very long time, to when I was a little kid, well before my first conscious Bible school studies, which I did have through the 8th grade, I don’t like human stuff.  I don’t like belching, farting, or any references to animal traits.  When I drink from a class, I do not let the part of the liquid that touches my lips run down the glass.  I wipe it away.  In short, I am a very clean person.  I don’t like bad breath.  I don’t like unshowered people.  I don’t like hairy armpits on women.  I don’t like sloppy men with fat stomachs.  I like to see humans maintain themselves and live at a level above nature.  And to show dominion over it.  The Bible tells the story of a chosen people who were supposed to live an elevated existence and step above the level of gutter rats.  I do judge others and judge often, and I am very proud of it.  I have compassion for people like that guy at the gas station who are reaching for the American dream but weren’t born into it.  I was lucky enough to be born an American.  I love to see people working to be more Western in their lives, and I will always show them the way.  But I am much more judgmental of human behavior than even Yahweh.  I love civilization and excellence and am always reaching for personal betterment.  But I detest humans who do not go for the stars and surrender to their animal instincts.  I despise them, honestly. 

The history of Israel was an intentional injection of a regional problem where the Palestinians, in the form of the Canaanites, in the region where Israel is now, were child-sacrificing barbarians worshipping ancient gods that demanded blood, a lot of it.  They were a superstitious group of people who had been around by the stories of the region for more than 450,000 years, and they were never able to advance as a civilization because of their need to worship such corrupt and flawed personalities in their deities.  So along came a god that called himself king of all the pantheon, Yahweh, and gave them the Ten Commandments, which are rules for good living, and the nation of Israel was created.  As a result, humanity stepped into a better world, and Western civilization was built.  The fight to this day is from the lazy, the vicious, the scandalous, the desire for blood and human sacrifice to prevail in the region as it has for tens of thousands of years, and it shows.  When traveling to such places there are many in the world, such as the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, for instance, where Marxism has been accepted over capitalism, where the drastic differences between the two societies are grossly noticeable.  The Palestinians are not a civilized, clean people.  They are barely getting along, which is evident by their housing, cars, and youth’s lifestyles.  I typically feel sorry for such people, but sympathy goes out the window very quickly when they start belching, farting, and looking like they want to hump the leg of every passerby.  They are essentially fighting for the right to be a douchebag, which is the same as saying that they don’t want to advance to the finer things that come from human imagination and expectation. 

Always in the background of the indigenous people’s argument, which for the Palestinians is similar to the Indians of North America is the argument that the greedy capitalists have interrupted the previous civilization that was crawling around in the dirt and worshipping nature with human sacrifice.  In my view, the invention of competitive cultures that may be better has improved the world everywhere it is utilized and because of that competition, the world is a much better place.  Because if left to their own devices, people would continue to get along and feed themselves barely and have a deficient standard of living.  So, I view the advent of Israel as extremely good for the region’s people; it has forced them to be better than they otherwise would be.  The same with the Indians in North America.  The standard of living improved for all people, even them.  Playing in the mud, worshiping a bunch of dirty nature gods, and not having a culture driven by quality and science is not a good life.  That is the difference between capitalist and Marxist cultures.  Or cultures that thrive from biblical context under the laws of Yahweh or those surrendering to an animal condition.  The Palestinians are not striving for excellence; they want to live as they did in the brutal past and are fighting for the right to continue those animal-driven lifestyles at the expense of human progress.  Which is a horrible idea.  Western Civilization was a great invention driven by the Bible, and the world would be much better off if everyone adopted it.  But as long as people fight against it, there will be conflict.  And in such disputes, the efforts at betterment through Western Civilization is a noticeable improvement over what previously was, in every case.

Jesus Lived and Died in Kashmir: Why the Led Zeppelin song is so popular, and how Islam hides the truth

I’ve never been much of a Jesus fan from the Bible. I like the character from the show Chosen, but the way Jesus has been portrayed everywhere else has always been to me, something more Eastern than Western. I love his dad, Yahweh. Now that guy I can understand, making a footstool out of your enemies, an eye for an eye, punishing entire nations. That is someone I can relate to. But his son is more like the spoiled second-generation kid of a cutting-edge self-starter. He might be a super nice guy, but I have always found the message of giving your enemy your cloak if they want to take your shirt personally revolting. Many people don’t like to talk about these things because religions have some strict rules on the matter, but I’m not much of a rule guy either. I understand law and order, but all too often, the rules are made by all the wrong people so that they can control their peers without the armed conflict of tradition. I love the Bible; I have read it thoroughly and still do. But I’m not sure that people understand what the Bible means and that honoring God means accepting those human mistakes. I certainly don’t believe that humans understand God perfectly and without flaws. Instead, I see that the Romans wanted to unite their empire and used the concept of Jesus, the scapegoat, to perform the task, and the world reacted with other religions, such as Islam. To this day, the conflicts in the region of the Near East are suspiciously occult-driven and hide behind a veil of religious belief that is keeping us in these modern times from knowing the whole truth and nothing but the facts. Something else I do love is the truth, not belief in how other people interpret it out of fear or anxiety over their afterlife.

A very interesting book

Another thing I have never liked is the Led Zeppelin song, “Kashmir.” It’s not a bad song; I think it’s a fantastic one, but I have never liked it, and I hate watching people dance to it at rock concerts. It’s one of those personal revolting attributes of life that has existed since I was a little kid. I was reminded of this hatred while traveling recently in Japan, where I had just explained to people I thought the reach of King Solomon’s empire had a heavy influence on their early culture, with the many keyhole tombs that they call Kofun tombs that are all over the Osaka area, and elsewhere. I base that on several books about Solomon that never made it into the Bible’s final cut, so when you read about the reach of his empire, oddly, there is almost no mention of tapping into the East. I have a great map that I love out of my favorite Bible and I love it for all the things it doesn’t show. Remember, I always judge things not by what people tell me but by their actions, and in this case, that map shows more in what it doesn’t offer than in what it does. A person as influential as King Solomon would have been trading along the early version of the Silk Road, which extends from Europe, over the northern part of the Himalayas across China, down through Korea, and then into Japan. I propose that the cult of King Solomon found its way to early Japanese emperors.

The Old Silk Road, known for many thousands of years pre-dating the ancient world as we know it.

Based on wide reading from many sources, the topic of Jesus being influenced by the Buddhist cultures of India and that of the Hindus and the Jains makes perfect sense.  Where was Jesus from the Bible in those teenage and young adult years up until around age 29?  Which, in those days, was a pretty mature adult.  Then, suddenly, he shows up and starts teaching the people of Israel.  I’ve heard the stories over many years that Jesus never actually died on the cross and that he had lived and died in Kashmir, which is in northern India, right in the middle of the hot zone for all modern political terrorism, surrounded by Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Nepal with Iran and Iraq looming nearby.  I have for most of my life also been a massive fan of Biblical Archaeology Review and can report a much more significant than average interest in the kinds of things that lots of outstanding and intelligent scientists have found digging in the dirt in the ancient Holy Land.  It is rich and abundant, but nowhere near the effect it could have if there weren’t conflict in the region.  And when it comes to the Old Silk Road, the entire span of it these days is wrapped up in political turmoil, I think on purpose, to keep investigations into the truth of the past from ever being revealed.  Because a story isn’t being talked about, that should be.

As I returned from Japan in one of the many airports I had to travel through, a young lady who looked more Indian than Chinese sat by me with her headphones, listening to that Led Zepplin song. I could hear it clearly even though she was in her own little world. And I was thinking of the Silk Road. So I picked up a copy of Suzanne Olson’s book Jesus in Kashmir and read it, which confirmed a lot of what I had been thinking for a long time, and biologically, I think most of the world understands it too, which is why that Kashmir song was so popularly received and continues to be an icon of pulp culture. I tend to believe the stories that Jesus was either cut down or had stories by the Romans who made up his death for their convenience. Because there was no body, it was explained away as an ascension to heaven. They wanted to impress their Roman supervisors, so the regional overlords and the Jewish political influence wanted to let everyone know they got rid of the rebel Jesus from their society. And that Jesus escaped, injured, back to Kashmir, where he had spent much time as a youth, married there, and had many kids. And died a king, and the tomb is still there, hidden not by sight but by politics.

The way that Romans interpreted Christianity served their empire well and the church that would follow.  Be like Jesus, sacrifice yourself to the state, and prepare yourself for the afterworld by being friendly, compliant, and much more like Gandhi than that radical warlord of a father, Yahweh.  Even Jesus managed to put a soft edge on the plight of the Hebrew people, the descendants of Abraham who had been traveling to Kashmir for thousands of years.  Moses, as does his brother Aaron, has a tomb in the Kashmir region.  So does Mother Mary and other characters, including the remains of King Solomon.  When you consider this Kashmir story suddenly, many mysteries of the Bible start making a lot more sense.  But proper investigations into those mysteries are stifled because of the politics of modern warfare that keeps anybody from looking under the veil, as radical Islam seemingly keeps regional control on purpose.  Which then, we are all reminded of this recent conflict with Israel.  We are witnessing a shell game that takes place over most of the world to prevent people from learning the truth of their past and future.  And much of that truth is hiding in plain sight, which we subconsciously understand, in songs like Led Zepplin’s “Kashmir.”  But because we fear death at the hands of terrorists, death in the eternal fire of damnation, or the cry of public scrutiny because our quest falls outside the established religious parameters, we find ourselves prisoners to the obvious.  And part of that obviousness is that Jesus lived and died in Kashmir.  And the implications of that are jaw-dropping and necessary.
