My Committment to Atlantis and Its Technology: A problem we have to solve before we get to Mars

It’s only fair to take a minute from all the political coverage to make an official statement that I don’t think is new.  But that I intend to contribute a significant amount of my time to in the years to come, and that is to prove that the fabled civilization of Atlantis was real, and that the contents of it, the proof of its existence became the original Native Americans, settling in the Americas and what is left of them is what we have in the mound cultures of the world.  In Atlantis, as Plato described, they had fallen to sorcery and witchcraft and declined well before they were destroyed by catastrophe, and I think the proof of that technology is what we see in the mound-building culture, especially in the Ohio Valley along the Ohio River.  Mounds are worldwide, and I think they are evidence of a society thriving globally around 50,000 BC until around 9500 BC.  And it’s one of the greatest conspiracies ever to be perpetrated against the human race for all kinds of political reasons.  This isn’t something I just woke up thinking about, but something that has bothered me for decades.  I grew up around the mound cultures of southern Ohio, and it started for me when, as a young person, I was given some inadequate explanations about them being burial methods. Instead, as it looks to me after looking at a lot of evidence, which I’m putting together for a new book project called, The Politics of Heaven, I am ready to put a stake in the ground on Atlantis being represented on earth by the destruction of their survivors through the mound building culture and the revelation of their celestial technology which I attribute to occult utilization as a science to perpetuate their society forward, best represented to our historic eyes in Egypt and expressed in the conflict of God with Pharaoh when Moses came to free his people and there was a kind of dual with the magicians of Egypt, the Hermetic order that were the remains of the previous long standing civilization of Atlantis.

The most significant resistance to such a proposal is transportation; the current lazy science understanding about the Clovis culture, of how humans came into North America through a land bridge through Alaska, hasn’t held up under further scrutiny.  Now, with LiDAR technology, we can see under the canopy of the Amazon, for instance, and all over South America, formations of mound-building that are just like what we see popularly in North America.  And that Pythagorean geometry in a very occult way are consistently utilized everywhere, for the same reasons.  This very sophisticated culture used positive relief geometric shapes to communicate with spiritual planes of reality, for which they had full knowledge.  Some aspects of this technology are revealed to us through the Bible, so it doesn’t take much to expand that understanding to this broader conception.  Most eerily, we see the evidence of this kind of ritual technology at Portsmouth, Ohio, where, just like at Stonehenge, they have a series of mound structures that are intended to communicate beyond terrestrial concerns with an avenue that extends from Ohio across the river into Kentucky.  The purpose and location of this construction defy logic, for its location is a glimpse into a much deeper technology that spoke to the spirit world in much the same way that we use electrons to turn on a light.  There are many more of these mysterious sites all over, but the site at Portsmouth is bewilderingly overlooked for its relevance to a profound understanding of a specific astrological technology used as an everyday level of culture descended from great sophistication. Indeed, not primitive hunters and gatherers who could barely rub sticks together to make fire or catch food for the day.

The most obvious evidence of this global trade, which descended from Atlantis and Mu, a raised area in the Pacific Ocean, is the evidence in Egyptian mummies of tobacco and cocaine, which we know were only grown in the Americas.  So any traces of these things would have come from knowledge of trade with society in North America for tobacco and South America for the coca plant.  And specifically to those items, it also shows the obvious connection with drug stimulants to the creation and use of religion, and to communicate in a hyper mind state with assistance from the spirit world.  But it all started in America and not in other places.  That’s not to say that places like Antarctica were not once tropical paradises when the Earth’s poles were otherwise shifted, and those plants weren’t in other places, according to a record of known botany.  But as we understand the modern world, post Ice Age, those plants only came from North America and South America and when traces of them show up in mummies from around the world, you know they had contact with what we call the New World, many thousands and thousands of years before Christopher Columbus rediscovered for Europe, the concept of a new place.  We find more truth in this kind of global population in stories like the Tower of Babel that we think of as regionalized in the Mesopotamian Valley, but likely has roots in a much larger tapestry. 

So why is this important?  Well, institutionalism has been lying to us.  And new characters in the world seek to use this kind of Atlantean technology to have power over others.  Keeping people disjointed and on their heels as rulers keep challengers from attacking their power base through deception.  We see that happening in American politics, and when you study how institutionalism has processed information and used it to control mass populations, a much clearer story begins to emerge.  That is why I have recently been talking a lot about the book by David Price called Weaponizing Anthropology. Anthropologists, archaeologists, geologists, botanists, all the sciences have shown a delineation of logic in saying whatever they have to based on the source that is giving them money.  And by that method, a vast conspiracy has been concealing the truth of human origins, which we need to understand to plan our future.  And so far, we are finding ourselves victims of a power base of politics hiding the past so they can have power in the present.  So I see it as a significant, engaging, and technologically practical consideration.  The secrets of the Lost Continent of Atlantis are not buried under the Atlantic Ocean.  They are in the mounds of North America, at places like Portsmouth, Ohio, Serpent Mound, and hundreds of other places.  And their technology wasn’t mechanical the way we see it, but occult-driven, and completely different.  We see whispers of it everywhere, especially in astrology horoscope readings.  And that doesn’t make that technology superior to what we have today.  Just different, and a method of approaching problems working in the background that reflects our politics of the here and now.  Why do people believe what they do about things?  That is why studying these things is important and extends beyond psychology or history.  But the hows and whys of a culture long suppressed.  A current political order that uses hints of that technology to stay in power today can do so because people don’t even know it exists. After all, the evidence has been hidden.  Even though, as Jesus says in the Gospel of Thomas, “the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and people do not see it.”  Jesus wasn’t talking about the tiny part of the Near East where he lived, but he meant the whole earth, as it was well known from a long and deep history at that time.  Well, we see it, and it’s time we have a serious discussion about it and take that power away from those who seek to abuse it at the expense of all civilization’s past, present, and future.  And we have to do it now before we find ourselves on Mars and facing a harsh reality about ourselves, that we find there archaeology of a past that existed long before Atlantis appeared on earth.

The Solved Mystery of the Newark Holy Stones: It’s not the Lost Tribes of Israel who brought them to America; rather, the other way around

I’ve known about the Newark Holy Stones for quite a number of years, but like a lot of things that happened during the Covid lockdowns and attempts at the government to flat-out lie to people in ways only conspiracy theorists had ever thought possible, it has brought new light to the story of these unique artifacts that have rocked the archaeological world most violently at the start of it. One stone, which they call the Keystone, was found in a mound just outside of the Newark, Ohio complex, which has some of the most advanced geometry in ground effigies. The mathematics contained in them is similar to that of the Great Pyramids and other sites around the world that whisper of sophisticated knowledge of stars and how they relate to an earth that was undoubtedly round. It was found not very far into the surface, which led many to speculate that it was a Masonic plot of conspiracy to establish in the region their influence. After all, it is a Masonic emblem essentially well known for its rituals. What was most perplexing about the stone was written in ancient Hebrew references that were clearly Biblical. The biggest problem with that was the date of the mounds was older than the Bible, leading many to discuss that the Mound Builders may well have been the result of the Lost Tribes of Israel, which would have supported the Mormon movement that was brewing in America in 1860 when the stone was found. From the outset, the relic was rationalized as a hoax mainly by the Democrats who investigated it. These were the days of the radical Abraham Lincoln who wanted to end slavery, and it was Republicans who supported the idea that ancient Hebrews had found their way into North America somehow and were part of the Mound Building culture that was so mysterious. 

Then there was a real problem that occurred when another Holy Stone was found south of the Newark site in the Great Stone Mound situated along an old Indian trail, where legend indicated that a person of great personage was buried there and that each time a traveler had passed by, they should place a stone on the mound to commemorate that. By the 1800s, the 40- to 50-foot-tall pyramidal mound was covered from top to bottom with stones that would eventually be looted with more than 15,000 wagon loads to use the rocks for a local building project. Then when archaeological enthusiasts could get inside it with the stones removed in 1860, what they found at the bottom shocked the world and still does. It’s called the Decalogue Stone and was found in a little stone chest that was buried carefully with a skeleton well entombed. And in the little stone box was a carved stone with a picture of Moses and the Ten Commandments in the abbreviated form written all about them. This caused quite a stir around the world as the Ten Commandments couldn’t possibly have been in North America at any point before the arrival of Christopher Columbus, so immediately, there was a push from academia (mostly Democrats) to disregard these Holy Stones from Newark as nonsense and hoaxes. After all this time, they are still considered very controversial and reside authentically in the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Coshocton, Ohio, just to the north of the Newark Mound site as it is today. 

Lately, over the last several decades, there has been increasing hypothetical evidence that the lost continent of Atlantis was, in fact, in North America, not located in the Middle East, Africa, or Asia. Everything pointed to all cultures on Earth migrating out from the Americas. It was very advanced before the Ice Age, and during it, before everything was wiped out by the Younger Dryas cataclysm, which was a world-killer comet that struck around 12,000 years ago, suddenly ending the Ice Age and wiping away most of the life on Earth instantly, and melting massive amounts of glacial ice that increased the levels of the oceans with massive flooding and led to all the flood myths that so many cultures had from their pre-history. And it makes the most sense to me that with an advanced civilization in North America destroyed by the portion of the comet that hit central Michigan and carved out Saginaw Bay that only people far from the blast or high in the mountains during their global trade survived. And they took with them elements of their previous culture to re-populate the world starting over essentially. This makes much more sense if you view all civilizations from the point of view of the Vico Cycle rather than one continuous evolution. And this also explains why the mound builders of Ohio and the Mississippi Valley were so obsessed with the stars and alignments of Earth on the surface. This was clear to me after visiting the Stonehenge site. In Avebury, just north of Stonehenge, there are mounds like those seen in Miamisburg, Ohio, and other places. The evidence of a global culture influencing these constructions is obvious. And in America, also there were found the bones of very large people which showed signs of a lost race that history had wiped away. Digging into the mounds around Miamisburg, they found a skull and various skeletons that easily would fit over the face of a modern human. 

So getting back to the Newark Holy Stones, it is my belief that they are evidence of a pre-Biblical society only hinted at before being lost to the Vico Cycle and global cataclysm. We see evidence of the Vico Cycle, where the Biden administration wants to resort to a primitive society. If allowed to continue for the next several hundred years, all traces of modern human technology could be eroded away, and in just a few thousand years, even the biggest skyscrapers could be lost to history. Any society that was more than 10,000 years ago would be lost, which has likely been going on for far longer than that, and was the reason that so many who did survive the Younger Dryas extinction event built so much with land and stone, to preserve their culture in ways that paper and other organic materials couldn’t. The rate of degradation would at least allow future society to know that they lived. And looking at things understanding the Vico Cycle and world-killing cataclysms that happen much more often than people would like to realize, the seed for all civilization is in the Ten Commandments. One of the reasons that many still today think of the Decalogue Stone as being a hoax is that scholars say that no Jew would have written such a less-than-perfect version of the Ten Commandments. They would have written them correctly, or not at all, and the way that the Ten Commandments are written on the Decalogue Stone is crammed into every bit of surface on the stone. But they would be much more easily understood if these Ten Commandments were written well before the events at Mt. Sinai and the Exodus from Egypt. 

I have loved the Wolfram Von Eschenbach version of the quest for the Holy Grail told in his Parzival from around 1200 AD for many years and have always thought there was more to it. And recent studies have indicated that Eschenbach was a Knight’s Templer, a society of pre-Masonic heritage who actually wrote the book as a treasure map for the Lost Ark of the Covenant, which is still held in high regard and supposedly hidden in Axum, Ethiopia, behind a thin veil of political upheavals and death until the Masonic order can rebuild the Temple for the third time in Jerusalem. In that book, Eschenbach indicated that the Ark, which held the Ten Commandments, was actually the metaphor for the Grail, which he didn’t describe as the cup of Christ, but rather a Holy Stone. And that’s when I thought of the Newark Holy Stones with a fresh perspective. It looks like the Ten Commandments didn’t flow to us with the Lost Tribes of Isreal banished from the Holy Land and found their way somehow to America to work with Indians and build the mounds in Ohio. It looks like they never left and instead seeded the world with the broken knowledge of their lost civilization, which indeed migrated into Egypt and other spots in the Middle East and Asia. And the ingredients for a successful civilization were hastily carved on a stone to remind the buried beholder in that stone mound in Newark what would carry any society forward. And that is how we came to find the Decalogue Stone and why there are other such Holy Stones in America well before the Bible was ever written. And that is why they were never hoaxes. Instead, they were victims of the Vico Cycle, which many in power don’t want to admit to, so they’d rather pretend that they don’t exist rather than learn from history how not to repeat the same mistakes that have been made countless times in the past.

The Importance of Understanding History: How secret societies control the world with superstition and fear

Most people don’t know that if you look at a street map of Sandusky, Ohio, that it clearly shows the emblem of Freemasonry, establishing that Masons built the layout of the small town on the lakefront of Lake Erie in accordance with their beliefs.  So are vast spans of London, Paris, and Washington D.C., where city streets and monuments are lined up to the orientation of star alignments considered by astrology to be important.  People who don’t know history would have no point of reference to understand forces that are always working in the background to control their lives in some way, just as those same forces have all through history.  A clear understanding of history, especially ancient history, events that occurred before Egyptian society, which the Masons were obsessed with, those of the Indus Valley, Sumerian civilization, etc., will show that all mankind moves through the Vico Cycle routinely and predictably.  And by understanding those cycles, you can then predict what will happen in the future and how human beings will behave while under pressure and duress.  That is, after all, what the great book by James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, intended was to provide a kind of skeleton key to all civilization so that each time it went through a Vico Cycle (theocracy, aristocracy, democracy, then anarchy) over and over again, there would be some kind of roadmap to get society started again.  But like the high priest of some ancient religions, even in modern politics, there is a desire to show mastery over communication with supernatural forces and give them power over others in the many books of history that have been written or are waiting to be written.  Thus, you have secret societies operating in the background showing the world they have a mastery of mystery with star alignments or a connection to some ancient religion.  And if you don’t know your history, you might think they are geniuses instead of the con artists they really are. 

Once you have an excellent grasp of history, and I’m not talking about the stuff they want you to know, like the dates and events of World War II, or the highlights of the Civil War, the Revolutionary War, or the events of the Renaissance, an understanding of that Vico Cycle provides a much clearer understanding of what our future holds.  In that way, it was predictable what was to come with Covid and the Desecrators of Davos attempts at a Great Reset for the entire world.  A little search of my articles when we first learned about Covid coming out of China will show that I knew it was a scam from day one and reported it that way.  Of course, the doctors in the medical profession were trying to become the latest high priests in communication with the gods to sell us on their awesome power to control life and death itself.  It wasn’t a surprise that Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum centered around Germany were trying to take over the world just as they did with Hitler, Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and many other characters and madmen from history have attempted from that region of the world.  Now it was the god of Climate Change that they were using, just as Masons had used Isis from Egyptian culture to connect themselves in the minds of the many to the mysterious past of a culture that had built the pyramids or constructed King Solomon’s Temple, and were dedicated to returning that temple to greatness once again, as prophecy demanded.  Covid was always a power grab and nothing more, and if people knew their history, it would not be such a shock and mystery to them.

Only by knowing ancient history can anybody get a good scope on the scale of human endeavor, and understand the motives of those who are evil, and separate those intentions from those who want to do good.  Most people don’t see what they do as evil; everyone thinks they do what they do for good reasons if only people understood the big picture.  But often, the big picture is concealed by those who want to rule the world because they require mankind to be stupid to sell their superstitions and sentiments to the masses as the latest craze in logic.  I have never seen any secret societies, including the Illuminati, coming again out of Germany as hostile or maniacal.  Understanding history will show that their beliefs and intentions are as scary as reading through the latest Farmer’s Almanac or reading a daily horoscope.  The belief that the “gods” are controlling our every move and that their intentions are revealed in the “stars” makes it so that society will then trust the idiots who profess to read those stars.  It’s the shadow on the wall of Plato’s metaphor over and over again, and usually, there are enough people in any given society who are too lazy to call them on the scam.  They want to believe that somebody is in charge because they don’t want to be.  Whether that someone is a god, or a religious figure, or a politician.  People generally are too lazy to find things out for themselves, making their lives a perpetual prison to the forces of darkness who have ruled history from its written inception. 

Understanding history and how people who want to control you have distributed selected information in ways that tell the narrative from a vantage point that gives them the psychological advantage is the only way to live a free life truly.  I would go so far as to say that our understanding of ancient history is not nearly good enough.  I do not see ancient Egypt as all that ancient, but rather think it was only the latest in a long line of societies that rose and fell way before we have any archaeological record.  Hidden under the ground at some layer are the remains of an even more advanced civilization; after all, it was Egypt who considered the ten kingdoms of Atlantis to be ancient to them.  But discovering those cultures isn’t nearly as important as understanding why they always fail and continue over and over to start their life cycles again and again.  And by understanding that failure mode, we should be able to correct it now.  When I look at the MAGA movement with Trump as the spokesman, that is what I see.  Mankind is saying no to the mistakes of the past and to the losers who want to rule the world through smokescreens and religious superstitions connected to ancient cultures and astrology.  The political movements that are rising up out of populism now, in our current time, are answers to the many past mistakes, which is exciting to watch.  Of course, the forces that have always caused failure in the world will not be happy about this change.  They want a predictable outcome even if it means complete social failure because they are just playing their part in the Vico Cycle of history, as outlined in the great book Finnegans Wake.  Their minds are already on the destruction of the earth and everything on it so they can play their part in the Great Reset, not as it is proposed today, but has been presented from the beginning of time.  Knowing the history, it becomes quite evident that what is happening now, worldwide with the MAGA movement, is something special and has a real opportunity to break that cycle of destruction once and for all, for perhaps the first time…………………ever.

Atlantis Discovered in America: The History the Younger Dryas impact destroyed, and revealed

It’s a subject I care about a great deal, the idea that there was an advanced civilization in North America going back to much longer times than has been attributed to the Bering Strait migration of people from Asia into what has been called the New World. I have done many articles on the giants of Ohio and on the probability that there was an ancient empire of very tall people all through the Ohio River Valley predating all known records based on the mound-building culture that is so abundant in the region. It really came alive for me when I made a trip to Stonehenge and saw not just the celestial alignments that were popularly captured by the large megalithic stones there, very similar to Serpent Mound in my home area of the world, but the many, many mounds that were surrounding the area. The history books seem to forget about those and concentrate just on the stonework that is so popularly recorded. That’s when I knew for sure that there had been travel between North America and the British Isles predating Christ. And during the Ice Age, this might have been possible since the ocean levels were 400 feet lower at that time. Land bridges like the Bering Strait would have allowed for travel all over the world to be much easier. But even that didn’t tell the story the way I knew it needed to be told and that occurred to me in an argument with a British Museum employee when I was looking for the famous Crystal Skull that is on display there. The employee explained to me as if he were trying to convince himself that the skull had to be a fake because when it was dated, nobody on earth had found a way to polish quartz in such a seamless manner. That technology wouldn’t be invented until fairly recent times. So the true answer was concealed in a kind of European, institutional arrogance that seems to put a wet blanket over all the sciences institutionally funded and so limited in scope to their specific fields. 

I have known about Graham Hancock for a long time; he has written several spectacular books that consolidate in a way that is appropriate all the countless hours from various scientific fields to tell a unified story based on a few centuries of discovery. And the stories coming from him are vastly different from the textbooks. Science cannot be analyzed in a vacuum, and determinations made based on the desires of whoever funds the activity. So to correct that problem, Graham Hancock has come on the scene and started to put the puzzle pieces together about a significant number of previously unchallenged assumptions. That makes his book, America Before into, what, I think, is one of the most important books ever written because it tells the story of a number of issues that places North America at the front of the train of human consciousness development and advanced nation-building in ways that have been building for a long time. But science and politics did not want to admit to it. It was clear to me at Stonehenge that a massive global culture had existed in the past; they had boats that could visit each other. To me, the only question was whether those migrations moved from Europe to America or America to Europe, and thus, the rest of the world. The resistance, just as was the case with my experience with the Crystal Skull in the British Museum, was that institutionalized mainstreamers did not believe that any oceanic vessels could make such a journey until Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America. As it turns out, Columbus knew about the New World from old maps that predate the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, prior to the Dark Ages, which sought to cleanse the world of all pagan references, maps included. An ancient civilization made those maps, perhaps more advanced than our present society, and the timing of that society places it at its most prosperous period during the Ice Age some 15,000 years ago.

That civilization, as proposed by a lot of evidence provided in America Before, shows that a giant comet struck the earth in Michigan when the ice sheets were still there and created the Saginaw Bay in Michigan, which is essentially an impact crater. The results of the impact and trajectory of debris can be found all over North America, specifically in mysterious craters in Nebraska and the Carolinas. This is what is being called the Younger Dryas cataclysm, and it was a world killer in that it wiped out life on earth in most of the civilized areas. What was left as a result was those lives untouched by a civilization that remembered elements of the previous culture, and those elements showed themselves in various religions all around the world. Sumer, Egypt, Indus Valley, and the mound builders of the Mississippi Valley are all aspects of culture that reemerged thousands of years after the cataclysm that destroyed civilization and much of the life on earth at the end of the Ice Age. And this catastrophe has been hiding in plain sight for all this time because our focus has been on the Ice Age, not a cataclysm that occurred during it. While these pieces are still being put together in puzzle pieces mixed in different boxes, the picture is becoming much more precise, and the work that Graham Hancock did in America Before will prove to be the standard for all the future. He suggests that in North America, we are seeing the Lost Continent of Atlantis, perhaps a parent culture to that mythology. It was completely wiped out by the comet impact and the massive flooding that occurred in the wake. The ocean’s sea level rose suddenly by 6 feet during this time, which would only happen if vast amounts of ice from the Ice Age suddenly melted. 

For proof that mainstream scientists would seek to conceal evidence, we learned through Covid to what extent politics plays a part in science. So given the nature of the political world, and much to Graham’s frustration, his thoughts are being rejected just as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin were rejected as treatments for Covid. Or the political establishment soundly dismissed the premise of election fraud because they wanted to get rid of Donald Trump from the White House at all costs. We see the same conspiracies here, with this idea that a very advanced civilization with intensely accurate understandings of the cosmos thrived in North America, climaxing over 100,000 years of evolution that science missed entirely because they were looking at the ice, not the societies. And they didn’t want anybody to figure out that their diffusion theories about the Bering Strait were no longer valid. Mankind rose and fell many times following the Vico Cycle, and the culture that was thriving around the world during the Ice Age was just one of them. But that it rose and fell away so completely reveals in us all the terminal process of civilization itself. We’d like to believe that what we do is permanent, and such a concept reveals how thin everything really is. And that is a frightening prospect to institutionalists who put everything into the process but not so much emphasis on the substance. And what America Before is all about is substance. The rest of the world will catch up eventually, and when they do, they’ll find that everything started in America, and at a fundamental level, we still know it. America is that shining city on the hill, not because it was taken from Native Americans. But because we knew it was once before, this current rendition of America is just a repeat of the past, without the destruction of a comet to wipe it all out.

The Rise and Fall of Civilizations

I did manage to get to the Egypt: Time of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center and enjoyed it quite a lot. It was very well done as most of those exhibits are and I managed to learn a few new things which is always fun. I compare those experiences always to the museums of The British Museum of London and the Louvre in Paris as kind of e benchmark of excellence. While the Cincinnati Museum is not as large as those in other cities, the quality is every bit as good, if not much higher, especially after the 2 and a half years restoration project of Union Terminal that was just completed. Aside from the great museum in Cairo the British Museum and the Louvre have excellent sections on just Egypt so that is the standard I measure everything against. And with that in mind I spent a few hours going through it with my two daughters and we had a great time. I’d recommend it to anyone, even those casually interested.

I’m not particularly impressed with Egyptian culture, but we cannot ignore them, they had a culture that lasted over eight thousand years and three of those were in a high city-state existence with very complicated social structures, so they were obviously doing something correctly. But I can’t help but see the pattern in their society whether it be the Indus Valley, the various dynasties in China, the Maya, the Aztecs, the Romans, the English, all societies go through their own version of the Vico Cycle and end up surprisingly thriving one moment in geological time, then abandoned and back to being hunters and gathers. It is certainly my proposal that is precisely what happened in North America once the Europeans started officially settling in the “New World.” By the time Christopher Columbus landed likely the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Vikings, the Celts, the Chinese and who knows whoever else had risen and fallen many times over and what was left were the basics of human experience in the form of hunters and gathers. The Indians as they were called were not a sophisticated human development, but a failed one that was clinging to their pasts through oral tradition, but in reality, they were back to the mud huts of their antiquity. We could look at the living conditions of the outskirts of modern-day Chicago and declare we are headed presently in the same direction.

And the cause of it all was quite clear painted on a wall at the Egypt exhibit for which I took the picture shown here, of the pyramid style cultural model that many of us so much understand subconsciously. The idea of a king/god at the top and a bunch of worker bees at the bottom which support all that is above them. I would contend that while it is true that such a structure allowed societies to maintain themselves for many years, from thousands of years such as the Egyptians experienced to just a few hundred as was the case of the English. The advantage of the west was that there was a structure which the Orientals often copied through trade that provided sustenance in organized city states, but at a cost to individual rights. While most societies knocked on the door to the concept of individual rights, they often missed the mark until the idea for a new model came about under the American invention where there wasn’t supposed to be a god like king or a society of servants who knew their place in the scheme of things and were happy to contend themselves to it.

Looking at that same pyramid model of society from the American point of view would result in totally different outcomes. In America an individual can marry or work at any level they desire. The printing press took away the power of the High Priests of previous cultures and put the power of knowledge in the hands of individuals and the ability to have gun ownership took away the need of the state to defend the individual. Those two inventions of thought destroyed the typical power structure of all previous societies and started something new. Unfortunately, it goes against thousands and thousands of years of human programing. We may have invented a new form of social structure, but our innate habits have not yet adapted them to reality. We still hear daily in politics that we are all supposed to be “middle class” citizens and that we need the guidance of the “upper class” to guide us through our lives from birth to death. That is after all the very structure accepted in modern-day Washington D.C. The great tragedy from those who support that structure is that Donald Trump is the evidence that anybody can rise to the top. The premise of the college scandals we are hearing about in the news presently is the fall from grace that the “uppers” can’t just buy their way into society, that merit is the way its supposed to be in America. There are many who are struggling with the very concept of individual growth as opposed to tiered structures such as the Egyptians had.

I would offer that the reason that the Egyptians did last so long, just as Europe has under Roman Catholicism was that they managed to hold their societies together through superstition and mere belief due to the fact that most of their lower class people were stupid—that they couldn’t read or obtain information for themselves, nor could they defend any property they acquired. They needed the power of the state to do that. And in the vacuum of those long periods of state development great attributes such as roads and plumbing became standard, as did the arts of thought, writing, performing, and oral traditions which preserved their emerging society in a way that could be studied later, and was beneficial. But also was the evolution to the individual, the divorce from group think into the realization of individualized power, for which America became. Often when societies have arrived at this juncture in the past, they fell apart, and did not keep it together long enough to last. Without other nations to conquer and the fear of the gods coming to destroy everyone if they didn’t sacrifice their family cat, advanced societies just didn’t know what the aim of life was but to defend it from the possibility of death, and that kept their societies at least focused on their own societal self-preservation.

But it’s always a short-lived gain. The real mark of a proper society is how well it taps into the individual characteristics of its people and although Europe for the most part was quite ominous in its king state behaviors, which were direct descendents of the Egyptians and many others who came before, the society of western civilization itself did give rise to the power of the individual, of the ability to marry whom one wanted and to pursue a career of their own making. This was a major transition of thought that many struggle with even today. But it is the superior guidepost of an advanced society. While the Egyptians had done many things correctly in their thousands of years of reign on planet earth, they missed the mark on the key to all human endeavor, the right of the individual to function from its own bliss. They were knocking on the door especially with their concepts of arriving into their own deaths, but the higher concept was that heaven was always here on earth and it only took their own minds to see it. We should admire what the Egyptians were able to achieve over an eight-thousand-year period, but more than that we should then conclude what America has achieved in just over 200 years. And it is that perspective which we should all carry into the future. Because that is the one that counts the most—achievement. Not where we reside on a ladder of perceptive power.

The Land of Blood and Oil: A Letter from George Soros planting the seeds of uprising

Who is behind the Egyptian uprising? Well, Glenn Beck has done some great reporting about the New Caliphate, which people who understand history, and don’t think everyone in the world “behaves” with a European mindset, can see clearly. And there are forces that want to perpetuate the advancement of rival factions and strengthen their world grip so conflict can occur that will weaken the resolve of those forces true enemies. In this situation with Egypt its capitalism, and Jewish influence that are seen as the enemies. But behind that simple explanation it’s the United States that is the influence that must be overcome.

Watch Glenn’s excellent coverage from Friday here:

People mistakenly believe that WAR is fought with guns and that casualties are counted in dead bodies. NO. War, especially since the advent of the nuclear age, and since the creation of the UN is fought with subversive politics and a weakening of the enemies resolve through culture, which leaves the infrastructure intact but defeats the people.
So with that small fact in mind, it is no surprise that George Soros has revealed his passion for Egypt. I obtained the below email because Soros sent it to me, so it’s no big secret. However, as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, you can read such letters with an eye to not what it says on the surface, but what is hidden in the words. Read it for yourself below.

Why Obama has to get Egypt right
By George Soros
Thursday, February 3, 2011

Revolutions usually start with enthusiasm and end in tears. In the case of the Middle East, the tears could be avoided if President Obama stands firmly by the values that got him elected. Although American power and influence in the world have declined, our allies and their armies look to us for direction. These armies are strong enough to maintain law and order as long as they stay out of politics; thus the revolutions can remain peaceful. That is what the United States should insist on while encouraging corrupt and repressive rulers who are no longer tolerated by their people to step aside and allow new leaders to be elected in free and fair elections.

That is the course that the revolution in Tunisia is taking. Tunisia has a relatively well-developed middle class, women there enjoy greater rights and opportunities than in most Muslim countries, and the failed regime was secular in character. The prospects for democratic change are favorable.

Egypt is more complex and, ultimately, more influential, which is why it is so important to get it right. The protesters are very diverse, including highly educated and common people, young and old, well-to-do and desperately poor. While the slogans and crowds in Tahrir Square are not advancing a theocratic agenda at all, the best-organized political opposition that managed to survive in that country’s repressive environment is the Muslim Brotherhood. In free elections, the Brotherhood is bound to emerge as a major political force, though it is far from assured of a majority.

Some have articulated fears of adverse consequences of free elections, suggesting that the Egyptian military may seek to falsify the results; that Israel may be adamantly opposed to a regime change; that the domino effect of extremist politics spreading to other countries must be avoided; and that the supply of oil from the region could be disrupted. These notions constitute the old conventional wisdom about the Middle East – and need to be changed, lest Washington incorrectly put up resistance to or hesitate in supporting transition in Egypt.

That would be regrettable. President Obama personally and the United States as a country have much to gain by moving out in front and siding with the public demand for dignity and democracy. This would help rebuild America’s leadership and remove a lingering structural weakness in our alliances that comes from being associated with unpopular and repressive regimes. Most important, doing so would open the way to peaceful progress in the region. The Muslim Brotherhood’s cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate who is seeking to run for president, is a hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political system. As regards contagion, it is more likely to endanger the enemies of the United States – Syria and Iran – than our allies, provided that they are willing to move out ahead of the avalanche.

The main stumbling block is Israel. In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks. And some U.S. supporters of Israel are more rigid and ideological than Israelis themselves. Fortunately, Obama is not beholden to the religious right, which has carried on a veritable vendetta against him. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee is no longer monolithic or the sole representative of the Jewish community. The main danger is that the Obama administration will not adjust its policies quickly enough to the suddenly changed reality.

I am, as a general rule, wary of revolutions. But in the case of Egypt, I see a good chance of success. As a committed advocate of democracy and open society, I cannot help but share in the enthusiasm that is sweeping across the Middle East. I hope President Obama will expeditiously support the people of Egypt. My foundations are prepared to contribute what they can. In practice, that means establishing resource centers for supporting the rule of law, constitutional reform, fighting corruption and strengthening democratic institutions in those countries that request help in establishing them, while staying out of those countries where such efforts are not welcome.

The writer is chairman of the Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Foundations, which support democracy and human rights in more than 70 countries.

So what’s the real problem? If you look at the problem with the benefit of history you can trace back the hostilities in the Middle East to The Treaty of Versailles which concluded World War l and divided up Europe and the Middle East to the victors. One of the territories broken up was the remains of the Ottoman Empire. Watch video of the situation here:

I will put that entire series at the end of this post so you can watch the whole thing. I will say this; Beck is right about the Caliphate idea. Such is the glue that holds together the minds of Muslim radicals. But politically, the moderates in the Middle East desire to undo the damage done to them by the Treaty of Versailles and to return their lands to what it was during the Ottoman Empire.

People like Soros are supporting organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood to achieve that goal. In his letter above Soros makes no mention that the Muslim Brotherhood is a radical group that spawned Hamas and many terrorists’ activities. In our own country Soros has a hand in many organizations that have “progressive” aims and our own radicals like Bill Ayers and Francis Pivan are supporting uprisings like what you are seeing in Egypt. They hope that the radicals topple Egypt, bypass American influence and inspire radicals in the United States to do the same. Just like any strategy, troops need to see a victory. Progressives in the United States need a demonstration of a government overturning power by the mob to show those radical students, old hippies, and extreme leftist leaning Marxists in American that such revolutions are possible. While at the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood can extend its power and take one step closer to becoming a “unified” world power again.

The situation is actually much more serious than anyone cares to ponder. In that letter from Soros is a gentle warning to President Obama that he was elected president, supported by people like Soros, to achieve things like this Egyptian issue.
You have to read between the lines to see the menace behind the smiling faces and the seemingly patriotic terminology in that letter of “US.” Make no mistake that the coordination which occurred on Facebook and other social networking sites of this massive riot had the seeds planted by the same people who author letters like the one listed above. And the crop they hope to grow is a world with even less United States influence and a return of the land to the people of the Ottoman Empire which will then be a force to unseat the powers that currently reside in Europe.

It’s all part of a larger strategy.

If you want some nice light reading, check out the CIA’s website on this matter and do some of your own investigation. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/gz.html
Here’s the rest of that series, which is very important to understand.

The Real Crime in Egypt: History lost to ideology and quests for power

Egypt is not the first and it won’t be the last to suffer the type of insurrection witnessed upon the final weekend of January 2011. The crime in that civil disobedience that has already claimed lives is not whether or not the radical’s clamoring to over-throw a ruthless dictator, only to inject a radical Muslim government which believes in killing all whom do not practice their religious ideology. It’s not that the United States has yet been caught again supporting such a dictator in order to maintain stability in a world still behaving with an infants mentality. You’d think the CIA and “other” forces would have learned from Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden and a long list of others that had support of the United States, to not attempt to manipulate governments with subversive tactics, because they almost always come back to haunt us later.

If you want to hear a great scenario of what’s going on in Egypt listen to Doc Thompson’s guest here:

The real crime here is in the destruction of history. The vandalism of the Egyptian Museum is a modern example of such destruction, and insight into the catastrophic devastation of our own world history.

Of course the official report is that just a couple of mummies had their heads ripped off, and there was some broken glass. I’m including here a number of pictures supplied by hyperallergic.com that show the extent of that damage. You can see the source article by clicking this link. The damage to this very fine museum is extremely alarming to me in this modern age.

I have been thoroughly enraged most of my life that the Romans burned the Library in Alexandria. Depending on what story you believe, Caesar set fire to the Egyptian Fleet when trapped and outnumbered and the fire spread to the city and destroyed the Library there. The information lost in that act of destruction most likely cost mankind a firm understanding of our past.

The constant trouble in Iraq and the Middle East in general has deprived many researchers from proper archeology of the region. Most of what has been done up to this point is just speculation supported with some artifacts. Because of the violence, research can’t take place openly. The loss of the Library of Baghdad was a tremendous failure.

Hitler participated in book burning, the Spanish conquistadors destroyed the Mayan codices, and the Qin Dynasty of China burned numerous books and buried scholars to suppress the past.

Here in the United States Anthony Comstock founded the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, founded in 1873 to prevent the spread of “lewd, objectionable” books. Under this Society was the destruction of around 15 tons of books, 284,000 pounds of plates for printing books, and nearly 4 million pictures. I first ran into the work of Comstock when I was a kid of about 10 or 11 years old. I used to subscribe to a Rare Books and Prints company in New York that would send me a quarterly catalog of rare books under their collection. Many of these books were several thousand dollars each, and were one or two of a kind, and Comstock had helped make those books so rare.

These days, the places I most enjoy are places like Barnes and Noble. I love the book store down on Newport on the Levy. And I love Books a Million. My wife and I often spend hours and hours in these stores every couple of weeks. I also adore Amazon.com because they sell, or can connect you with many rare books. One of my great treasures is a simi “rare” book by Claire Chennault called Way of the Fighter written in 1947 and published in 1949. I looked for that book for over ten years and my daughter had found it on Amazon and given it to me on Christmas one year. It’s in good condition and costs well over $100, so it wasn’t easy for her to get. That book isn’t as rare as others, but the point is, it shouldn’t be rare, because it was printed in the modern age. The story with that book is that Chennault was very; very critical of the United States policy in China which eventually allowed communism to take over the country after he’d spent 6 or 7 years defending China from Japan, and the rise of communism with just a rag-tag group of fighters called the Flying Tigers. Chennault, a brilliant general and tactician, predicted the rise of the conflict in Korea, and in Vietnam, but nobody listened. Instead, there was pressure from the government to the publisher to not print many of those books from that aging general, and to just let him fade away into obscurity, which is pretty much what happened to Chennault and his predictions.

What can be learned from this is that Chennault’s book is only 60 years old, and it is evidence of why a book had restricted printing, and gradually it will be completely wiped out as people die off, and sell books like that in garage sales and they end up molding away in a basement someplace. In a hundred years, they’ll all be gone. That brings us back to the Library of Alexandria founded sometime around 323–283 BC and may have had tablets and papyrus thousands of years old.

Here is the description from Wikipedia: The first known library of its kind to gather a serious collection of books from beyond its country’s borders, the Library at Alexandria was charged with collecting the entire world’s knowledge. It did so through an aggressive and well-funded royal mandate involving trips to the book fairs of Rhodes and Athens[8] and a policy of pulling the books off every ship that came into port. They kept the original texts and made copies to send back to their owners. [9] This detail is informed by the fact that Alexandria, because of its man-made bidirectional port between the mainland and the Pharos island, welcomed trade from the East and West, and soon found itself the international hub for trade, as well as the leading producer of papyrus and, soon enough, books. Talk about rare books.

And when there was a conflict even out in the harbor, and the fire accidently spread and destroyed the library, those rare books are now lost forever, and the history with it.There are more than a few modern educators, or people that make their money off education, such as union leaders, that think some of my articles on “cryptic” anthropological issues, such as the Giants of Ohio, and the Real Origins of the Human Race are hokey. These are the same type of idiots that ridiculed Isaac Newton, or Christopher Columbus for their beliefs. People who are “really” educated, not just making money off it, know that there is a lot that we don’t know and can’t know unless we do the research.

And we can’t do the research if we’re always at war, or if religious ideology prevents proper scientific investigation.

So when you see thugs, radicals, socialist, creeps, revolutionaries, soldiers of fortune, and other opportunists hiding in the crowds of protesters in Egypt, know that there is a serious risk of losing valuable aspects of our past that is already swallow at best. Seeing tanks parked outside the Pyramids of Egypt is a sad and pathetic site.

It is inconceivable how many archeological sites were destroyed in the Middle East because Woodrow Wilson and his conspirators after World War l created through the Treaty of Versailles countries like Iraq and Iran and other territories that were intended to be run by British and French interests, finally breaking up the Ottoman Empire. And for those that don’t understand anything about the Ottoman Empire, it looks as though these various factions are looking to recreate it with radical Muslim fundamentalism. Through these conflicts, we are going to lose countless artifacts that connect us with the past, which will prevent us from fixing our future. So while the news broadcasts talk about the increase in oil prices, and the struggle of Israel, the real strategy will go unreported and therefore is the real cost to society.

I wish George Bush had leveled with the American People about why defending the faults of Wilson and the gang was important to the United States now. Because we committed ourselves to defending the region whether or not we have a right to or whether the land should return to strictly Muslim rule. The real evil lays in the hands of the progressive view of the world everywhere and their soft little minds of sympathy that can’t see one foot in front of themselves. To back out from the region now would only invite more violence and create a united and dangerous enemy that would lead to a much larger scale war. It’s far easier to defeat small factions of tribes or political groups. But several countries united under a common cause, like what’s happening, can lead to a much more bloody conflict. The “oil” buzz word just makes a complicated situation easy for people to relate to. But when you get caught in that over simplification, like Bush did, it makes you look dishonest and incompetent. That’s what the revolutionaries in Egypt right now are saying about America and our support of their hated dictator.

It’s the progressives in our own country that keep Presidents like Bush from giving it to us straight, because those same progressives in the media will need a story they can get their teeth in, because their own understand of history is so shallow, that’s why they’re attracted to progressive ideology in the first place. That’s why we’ve lost millions of potential artifacts in the Mesopotamian Valley and countless other locations, because of such short-sightedness. That’s why all human kind is doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

The damage to the Egyptian Museum is a travesty to us all.

Now, for those out there that question the intention of Islamic extremists, read their strategy in a PDF file. Just click on the link below. The first half is in Arabic, but the second half is in English. Just scroll through till you see the English words.

Keep in mind that there are already sleeper agents in the United States, just as the Communist Sleeper Agents were put in place under the guise of “progressivism.” That means members of the media are playing a part as “sleeper agents.” And if you think that’s too conspiratorial, stop watching Sex in the City for a little bit and read the PDF file and educate yourself.
