The Christian Victim-Perpetrator Syndrome

Daniel Pinchbeck writes in a comment on the victim perpetrator complex over at Reality Sandwich a much better contribution than I could:

This idea of unconditional love and unconditional forgiving not only seems like an impossible and non-human ideal, it also seems to me that it feeds into what John Lash calls the "victim - perpetrator bond" that was written into the Bible.

Lash's perspective in his amazing book, Not In His Image, is that the Judeo-Christian tradition was created intentionally as a deviation that took people away from the proper path of spiritual development. Lash writes from a Gnostic perspective, arguing that the Gnostics were the holders of ancient mystery school knowledge, and that they recognized Christianity was designed to imprison humanity in the spell created by the Archons and the Demiurge. Christian constructs such as "love thy neighbour as thyself, "turn the other cheek" and the underlying concept of "original sin" secretly functions to keep people enslaved in a culture based on domination.

This is most obviously the case with "turning the other cheek": This extreme form of masochistic, passive resistance allows the perpetrator of violence to have the upper hand, while the cheek-turner maintains a sense of moral superiority, despite the violence being perpetrated against them and others like them. According to Lash, such extremes of masochistic passivity coupled with idealized moral superiority were written into the Bible code by the Archons and the dominators to prevent the overthrow of the dominator culture by the oppressed, who far outnumber the oppressors, and could potentially make use of the means of violence to address their victimized state.

I remember when I visited the Hopi elder and I asked him what should be done with the CEOs and boardmembers of the coal company that was destroying their land and ruining their culture. "Cut off their heads," he calmly replied. I was shocked by this at first, but then as I thought about it over time, I could see his point of view.

Even Gandhi, who is associated with non-violence  promoted "active non-violence " direct action against the oppressors, and he also said that in situations where "active non-violence  could not be effective, violent resistance was preferable to "passive non-violence " What Harvey seems to advocate in his book is a toothless, passive non-violence that will ensure a personal sense of moral superiority but have no meaningful effect on changing the underlying structure of society, which is based on domination and oppression.

By nature, I support non-violence and pacifism. However, it may be that situations arise where violence - or at least the threat of violence - is the only answer to interrupting a cycle of domination. To cede the capacity for violence to the oppressors is, potentially, to give up any hope of making real change. I find it troubling to think these thoughts, yet I feel these subjects must be examined impartially and scrupulously, so that greater clarity can be attained.

Several people recently brought to my attention the connection between the Tibetan Buddhists, who promote non-violence  and the CIA. Is it possible that the Tibetan Buddhists are given so much cultural cache in the West because of their principled stand of non-violence  which also renders them helpless when facing a militarized regime? If we do away with moral absolutes and deal with the world as it is, we may have to find that there are times when violence is a necessary evil - for instance, against the Nazi regime during World War Two.

On an abstract and absolute level, one can "unconditionally forgive" Nazi torturers, Chinese armies, or corporations that profit off of the desecration of land and people. On the relative level of human actions, however, these malignant forces still need to be dealt with if we ever want to see our world thrive in peace. It may require means other than prayer or Harvey's rather meek brand of "sacred activism" to bring them down.

I am curious to hear others' thoughts on this complex, delicate, and extremely important issue.

The Gnostic Teleste Connection To Kubrick, Dick Cheney, Arthur C. Clarke & HAL

Probably the definitive talk on the idea of, as yet, open-ended and open-source Gnostic Gaia/Sophia myth making by John Lash. This is a theme that crops up a lot on the net to those able to cast a sceptical eye on channelled messages. Voices whispering 'now is the time to visualise and imagine what you wish for the world'. 


John informs us that the Gnostics described and used a particular Coptic word to describe how the Archons operate. It was HAL. It means to simulate or to copy. You might say a virtual reality. It is detected wherever a false substitute is on offer. It is a hoax.


The two top search terms for HAL are the computer in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey and Dick Cheney's Haliburton (HAL) stock listing.

Update: Original video replaced.

Dr John Mack MD - Harvard Clinical Psychology & Alien Abductions

To paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke 'any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from the paranormal'.

Increasingly in the scientific press these days we're presented with technology progress that should make the thinking person review the E.T. and abduction question more intelligently. If terrestrial science is making developments in traction beams and invisibility cloaking (two examples from last month alone) one should have no problem in understanding that beings with a thousand or a million years or more of technological superiority would have little problem dragging people out of their sleep for biological tests, then wiping their memories (subsequently recalled in hypnotic regression) and returning them to their sleep largely undetected.

Why would they do that? That's a hundred hours of study just to have some solid speculation so it's not very helpful to the novice at this stage as it opens up more questions than it answers.

Dr. John Mack M.D. was Harvard's top psychologist when he first heard about the alien abduction phenomenon and rejected it immediately as nonsense. However on further examination the data said something was really happening and his continued interest nearly cost him his job. It certainly had his reputation smeared by the academic elite controllers who are instructed to lean on scholars who come too close to the truth. The Dean of Harvard in this instance.

Amazingly Alan Dershowitz (Ultra Zionist Jewish American Lobby) comes to the rescue arguing a case of tolerance and scientific independence. Now that might fly in the face of his attack dog politics for anyone who criticizes Israel but it is as it is. He comes through and does the right thing for Dr Mack in this interesting documentary that compliments the Dr. Karla Turner and Bud Hopkins testimony I've previously written a fair amount about.

Just one anecdote I picked up along the way to fit with the visual of this post. One abductee was taken by traction beam or whatever through the UFO exit and entrance port hole and could see the alien beings paying no attention to him. It was so normal they were talking to each other as a human slid by in the middle of their interaction. That is or was the scale of alien abduction.

John Lash - The Transhumanists Need Their Own Planet To Pave Over

The full two hour interview.

Comparative mythologist, author and teacher John Lash is one of the foremost exponents of the power of myth to direct and shape an individual's life, as well as history itself. Described as the true successor of Joseph Campbell, John is a teacher of world mythology, Gnosticism, the pre-Christian Mysteries, along with many of his other expert talents. He has traveled widely and lived in Japan, the UK, Greece, Norway, France, Spain and Belgium.

His unpublished and in-progress works include original studies of alchemy, the Dendera Zodiac, eonic cycles in the World Ages ("parallel history"), psychonautics and entheogenic shamanism for the future. He is the leading exponent of the new discipline of metacritique (radical analysis of belief systems).

In 1981, John founded the Institute for Creative Mythology in Santa Fe, New Mexico. ICM offered an open forum to explore universal "directive" - psychologically active - myths and their expressions in culture and daily living. At ICM John gave lectures and interactive seminars on a broad range of subjects, including Gnosticism, the erotic psychology of the Troubadours, Mesoamerican calendars, and Goddess rites of participation in the seasonal cycles of nature. Over several years, he developed a long course in alchemy that resulted in an extensive syllabus and study guide entitled "The Great Work: Alchemy and PsychoEcology."

For over 35 years, John Lash has specialized in studies of sidereal mythology i.e. myths found in all cultures around the world relating to the visible patterns in the skies. He has a unique technique of observation, combined with an original method of reading those patterns and relating them to the way we live and view the world. He is recognized as a leading scholar on ancient astronomy, the Zodiac, and precession of the equinoxes (World Ages).

John Lash is also co-founder and principal author of metahistory.org, a unique source of gnostic and pagan perspectives, including Planetary Tantra, a open source vision for interactive magic with Gaia. The purpose of this site is to challenge unexamined beliefs and foster a future myth centered on Gaia-Sophia, the living planet.

John's published books:

The Seeker's Handbook: The Complete Guide to Spiritual Pathfinding (Crown, 1991)

Twins and the Double (Thames & Hudson, 1993)

The Hero - Manhood and Power (Thames & Hudson, 1995)

Quest for the Zodiac (Starhenge Books, 1999)

Forthcoming: Not in His Image: Gnostic Vision, Sacred Ecology, and the Future of Belief (Chelsea Green Publishing, November 2006)

Senator Mike Gravel, Participative Democracy & The Occupy Movement

One of the few people to talk from experience, from the heart, with sense and has done the work needed when the people are ready for a new participative democracy. Max Keiser does an insane financial sketch on George Osborne's submissive sexual and fiscal preferences which is funny but if you're not in the mood for it skip to the 13th minute or bookmark this to 'watch later' for when the money, hope and ideas have run out in the U.S.

Senator Mike Gravel is one of the few people to impress me that has worked in politics. His work is a legislative template that with a little tailoring can be applied around the world.

Smash That TV Screen And Watch Something Interesting

Dr Joseph who has a sickeningly respectable PhD in Patristics from Oxford University needs a few more members for his video chats. Check out the video above for a taster. It's awesome.

John Lash - Archontic Influences, Divine Sophia & Chaldean Channellers

There are only two points of difference (thus far) between myself and John Lash. The first is that I believe that crop circles are largely other world communications rather than terrestrial indications of White Hat overtures to humanity and the second is that I believe 9/11 was subject to two possibly three methods of destructions (not including the planes impacting the twin towers, that did comparatively little). 

Yes Dr. Judy Wood's work is the most convincing but like much Trilateral alchemy the use of three reasons for a single task is as old as we can trace back for disinformation and confusion.

Other than that John Lash is brilliant and interesting. His contribution to lifting the veil is up there with Jay Weidner, Clif High and Dr Joseph Patrick Farrell. Each of these men are giants of truth wrangling and masters of side stepping deception.

Pakistan & Jinnah

After rewatching Gandhi I was recommended to take a look at Christopher Lee's Jinnah. I like its narrative premise of a life review, which oddly enough is a near death experience (NDE) that transcends religion and geography, the subject of the film. I think I remain unchanged from my stated position that the British left a lovely divide and rule ticking time bomb between the two countries in order that they could be subject to outside influence. 

It's called Kashmir.

Gandhi (reluctantly) and Jinnah agreed that partition would take place between India and Pakistan, and the British through Mountbatten made that process unfair given the ethnic make up of the Kashmir region. 

Divide and rule, problem reaction solution, Hegelian dialectic are all as old as the hills. The stupid monkey needs to wake up to the elite string pulling that has kept the human house divided since the Mesopotamian civilisations. I say human because the blood lines that run things are of the blue blood variety as opposed to our red. 

As Princess Diana repeated over and again before her murder.

"They're not human".

TR-3B - Black Ops Triangular Aircraft

I don't know enough about these craft known as TR-3B to make extended comments on them except to say that every single source I've encountered says the black triangular craft belong to the either the US military or the shadow government structures. Richard Dolan has coined a term for them. A breakaway civilisation. 

The music accompanying this video is sufficiently polished enough to ask the question, what's the motivation of the maker? But it's also good enough to post and say take a look, enjoy and go do your own homework. Suppressed technology is a logical outgrowth of capitalism if you really really think about how power and money works. There's no dough in releasing oil busting technologies to the people. There's no money in a cure for cancer either. Greed is also something people might be more acquainted with.

On a side note I learned today that the most secret underground base of Area 51 around the Nevada desert is called Defence Advanced Research Centre or DARC. It figures.

Update: I'm advised that Chapter 9 of Joseph Farrell's Nazi International is related to this very subject.

Are Some E.T. Touchy Feely?

Dr. Stephen Greer has done Yeoman's work on documenting the massive amount of military industrial complex worker's interaction with the subject of U.F.O's and E.T. with his Disclosure Project. Unsurprisingly the Whitehouse is obliged to ignore it as by and large most E.T. interaction on this planet is via shadowy military channels and like every cigar chomping penis-envy part of the human psychosphere is an historical clusterfuck of unimaginable proportions to the newcomer who hasn't spent a few hundred hours with the data. In short the Whitehouse isn't in charge.


Stephen gets a lot of criticism for his focus on what is known as benevolent E.T. given the evidence for off planet manipulation of our species or even on planet collaboration with ruling groups. I'm easy with the idea of pluralism and uncomfortable with binary thinking so it's all good with me. To compliment this, I have a post in draft of a Dr. John Mack documentary. He studied the alien abduction issue at significant cost to his professional reputation and it's a lot harsher than the above interview. It's worthwhile having a listen to Dr. Greer above as he is interacting and teaching people to interact with inter-dimensional beings in a way that suggests all is conciousness. At the end of the day.

John Lash - The Nag Hammadi Codices & The Sumerian Cuneiform Tablets

Nobody took the implications of the Sumerian Cuneiform tablets more seriously than I, but as time went on I started to question why would I take the word of the Anunnaki seriously? Particularly with their longer-term perspective of time it would make perfect sense to throw a few tablets of disinformation into the mix. 

John Lash also came to this conclusion (though long before I started to think about these things) as he outlines in this splendid interview. I'm more or less finished with the Anunnaki mythology for now, and increasingly focused on the Nag Hammadi codices, though obviously it's interesting, as all disinformation is, to analyse and look for motives and behavioural clues. If there's one talk about the Anunnaki that I urge everyone to listen to it's this one.

John also reminds us that most of the cuneiform tablets are transactions like the one above for sheep and goat tallies. They were the Goldman Sachs of their day. Which is one of those coincidences that makes a lot of sense if we think it through?

Stewart Swerdlow - Universal Truth Evolution

Great interview of Stewart Swerdlow by a couple of people who know what they are talking about so there's no naive jaw dropping or half hour introductions. Straight into the information and very good it is too. Some great explanations of time and timelines in this one. Stewart is a survivor of the Montauk Project.

How The 1% Take A 99% Cut (War Is A Racket)

Naomi Klein calls it the shock doctrine, David Icke calls it problem, reaction solution and it can also be called divide and rule or Hegelian dialectic. Either way it's very simple. NATO stirred up the war, NATO rides to the rescue with the solution. Then David Cameron did his Middle East arms sale tour followed by the RAF Tornadoes bombing the shit out Libya leaving this kids jaw hanging off.

Go back to sleep England. X-Factor is on the telly, footballs on later, and what goes around comes around is an old wives tale. Completely unrelated to the universal law of cause and effect. Let's just pretend that that Major General Smedley Butler never whistleblew that war is racket.

John Lash - The Gnostics

David Adair - Area 51

I watched this for the second time yesterday and it's amazing. I've also since made contact with people who know David and so I'm more comfortable with some of the extraordinary claims made in this seminal interview. 

Even if the subject matter isn't of interest it's a gripping story and as I've been ranting on about divine inspiration for a couple of years now, David Adair confirms here, the technology ideas were coming to him in his dreams.

So that's Descartes, Francis Bacon, Tesla and now Adair and Hawking, all taking other world inspiration including 'angelic' visits not to mention Francis Crick's inspiration from mystical LSD. Today's scientists are smoking crack pipes and clinging on to the illusion of empiricism and materialism if they refuse to recognise where the sizzle is coming from.

Here's the blurb:

Space technology transfer consultant and rocket prodigy David Adair speaks out for the first time on camera in this interview about his remarkable encounters with an alien engine, DOD agents, and Air Force General Curtis Lemay in 1971 at Groom Lake, Nevada (Area-51). Hear first hand testimony about advanced alien technology and our military's most closely guarded secrets surrounding the UFO phenomena. 

Adair explains how at age 17 he built an electro-magnetic containment plasma fusion rocket engine and was invited by Air Force bigwigs to launch it at White Sands Missile Range. That led to his being taken to Area 51 where he saw an engine that was light years beyond anything on Earth - so sophisticated it responded to the thoughts and emotions of it's pilots. 

Now, comfortable with the way UFO information is starting to be accepted by the American public, Adair has decided to reveal the extraordinary truth that he kept to himself for over 25 years. 

Also revealed is his meeting with renowned physicist Stephan Hawkings. 

John Lash - The Abrahamic Faiths & The Archons

John Lash has been called the true successor of Mircea Eliade and the rightful heir of Joseph Campbell. Unlike those two world-class academics, John Lash is a self-educated free-lance scholar who combines studies and experimental mysticism to teach directive mythology: that is, the application of myth to life, rather than its mere interpretation. He is a leading exponent of the power of myth to direct individual experience and drive historical events over the long term. An expert on sidereal mythology, naked-eye astronomy, precession, and the World Ages, he also teaches the critique of belief-systems. On metahistory.org, he presents a radical revision of Gnosticism, with original commentaries on the Nag Hammadi codices. He also presents the only complete restoration by any scholar of the Sophianic myth of the Pagan Mysteries, the sacred story of Gaia-Sophia, recounting the origin of the earth and the human species from the galactic core.


Biographical notes


Since October 2008, John Lash is teaching Planetary Tantra and interactive magic with Gaia through the archetype/icon of the Shakti Cluster, the Tantric Tree of Life. This material is intended to orient the general public toward free-form experimental mysticism grounded in an intimate commitment to the earth. His more controversial writings on Kala Tantra, Gaian sexual magic, can be found on KaliRising: Intimations of a Mystical Hedonist.


John Lash is the only scholar of comparative mythology so far known to have rewritten a classical myth, giving it a different outcome: Orpheus and Eurydice.


His published works are: The Seeker's Handbook (1991) , Twins and the Double (1993) , The Hero - Manhood and Power (1995) , Quest for the Zodiac (1999) , Not in His Image (2006).

Cops Beating Cal Students

I've noticed that the Youtube video count doesn't reflect the real number of views with videos that are important. One can tell by the number of comments cueing as one writes a comment pointing towards the volume of viewers, and also by reloading the video and seeing the number is static. The game is rigged folks.

The War On Drugs Explained By Graham Hancock

Drugs can mean a lot of things so use a little intelligence. Graham Hancock is author of the splendid book Fingerprint of the Gods and all round top fella.

Bangkok Earthquakes & Webbots With Clif High & Suzanne Toro

Slightly disconcertingly and in addition to the forecast of semi permanent flooding it appears a Bangkok earthquake isn't too far of a stretch either, and is outlined in the first part of this interview with Clif High. I've familiarized myself with the 'triangle of life' zones here over six months ago, but it's a good thing to brush up on them if you're unaware of the most simple and effective life saving manoeuvre a person can acquaint themselves with in the event of an earthquake. It only takes a few minutes.

The interview is again top notch and we even learn that Clif is familiar with the Mayan calendar mural part of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. 

I wonder if he knows about that the Federal Reserve building lease expiring on the winter solstice of 2012? The plot thickens.

Jay Weidner - Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey, Moon Landing & The Archons

This is the first time I've come across Awakentothetruth.com

The interviewer is very pleasant to listen to and so this is a great introduction if you've not come across Jay Weidner's work. Find out why the Archons are envious of us and like our royal family bloodlines, have zero humour, zero empathy and zero art. 

Think about that. Think about what being human means. Think about that flag you wave at Royal Weddings.

Chinese Pensioners Trivialise Lady Gaga's Sexual Violence Glorification

It's hard to take the white-trash icons of smut-pop and sleaze-agenda seriously when Chinese pensioners are ripping it to shreds with grandma and grandpa mash-ups. 

My prediction? 

Lady Gaga's reputation is taking a last few swirls around the toilet bowl before disappearing with the turds where her corrosive imagery belongs. I have nothing against the woman (my suspect she's Monarch mind control) but everything against the system that deliberately tries to subvert young minds by pumping out 24/7 MTV sexualised-violence-glorification-trash like her videos.

Dark Knight Rises On Wall Street

In the future art and life will merge into a single stream of creation.

Clif High - Halfpasthuman.com

The latest interview from Clif High. Earlier today I remembered that his Web Bots were forecasting six months ago, a protest against government that he concluded might be interpreted as home owners refusing to move out of their homes. 

This is exactly the sort of thing that the "occupy" movement could be slightly misinterpreted into when using. It is however excitingly close to a prediction of a movement before it happened. Listen to Clif. Be in the know.

Jay Weidner - Kubrick, Apollo & Alchemy

Called by Wired Magazine an “authority on the hermetic and alchemical traditions,” and “erudite conspiracy hunter”, Jay Weidner is a renowned author, filmmaker and hermetic scholar. Considered to be a ‘modern-day Indiana Jones’ for his ongoing worldwide quests to find clues to mankind’s spiritual destiny via ancient societies and artifacts, his body of work offers great insight into the circumstances that have led to the current global crisis. He is the director of the powerful and insightful documentaries, Kubrick's Odyssey, Infinity; The Ultimate Trip, and the forthcoming feature film, Shasta. He is also the producer of the popular documentary films, 2012 The Odyssey and its sequel, Timewave 2013. 

Lloyd Pye & Regents Professor John Horner Palaeontology

The second video of Lloyd Pye is my upload and is roaring up the charts on my Youtube video list. This tells me that people are beginning to question the archaeological doctrine of the day. Lloyd Pye was also interviewed by Red Ice Radio last week and I've posted it first as it's the latest information. It's excellent. 

Thinking about this subject I noticed Professor Regent of Palaeontology John R. Horner was interviewed by Wired and I watched it fully prepared to dismiss another stuffy academic but actually the guy is not a stiff and has good questions, bold ideas and the kind of humility that science rarely articulates. Instead we're by and large lumbered with an arrogant science that pretends it's never wrong when the whole purpose is to attack it with a new idea that is stronger. Real science is a journey not a destination. 


Couple this vain dogma with tenure-seeking, back-scratching peer-review crusties and we're intellectually dominated by spineless old white men when it comes to understanding our history, conceiving the present and directing the future. Jack Horner is not one of those men.

JPL & Asteroid 2005 YU55

Two different video opinions on Asteroid 2005 or YU55 that is to be the closest an asteroid flies by planet earth in a few days time. The JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) video seems to be authoritive but it's worth using this opportunity to remind people that Jack Parsons of JPL was up to his neck in occultism with the likes of Aleister Crowley and even further high weirdness links with L Ron Hubbard. 

I've blogged about Jack Parsons and JPL in the past (see tags below) and it's worth being acquainted with some of that stuff when considering NASA information. As Richard Hoagland puts it in his book Dark Mission. The joint is run by the Masons, the Magicians and the Nazis. It's more accurate than a superficial glance would lead you to conclude though I'm relaxed about this asteroid even if we seem to be inundated with heavenly bodies doing perihelion on dates and times that are uncomfortably coincidental. The second video drills a bit further into that topic.

Elite Royals, Mechanized Killing & Industrial Warfare

Not in 1914 or nearly a hundred years later can 99.99999% of the planet's population describe why the most bloody war was even fought. A bunch of incompetent and cowardly inbred elites at the top and armies upon armies of poorly educated people suddenly triggered into violence and bloody warfare through something as simple and powerful as propaganda without the use of Television. These days it's Tripoli and barely any Westerner has the courage to look up from their Starbucks and question the validity of NATO's war in Libya. That's how normative Televisions screens are to human sovereignty. The flying infographics make it seem like it must be a good idea. Well it's not.

This ten part series on World War One was just uploaded last month. It's a Channel Four production and so far I've found it excellent. The answer to the question of why WW1 happened?  

It was manipulated to happen. Real easy to do.

Anatole Fomenko - History: Fiction or Science Chronology 2

This is the second book (in a series of seven) by Anatole T. Fomenko. Listening to the Clif High interview yesterday that alerted me to his books it seems there's a lot of controversy over this author but very briefly his work came about from the former Soviet Union when teachers realised they'd been teaching a sanitised and meaningless education to Russian students and so in order to prevent this happening again they turned to their scientists and asked 'What is true and factual'.

This snowballed into a Russian education movement which involved science as the arbiter of curriculum and so everything was challenged including it seems the Vatican's chronology of events. I believe it's called critical thinking or analysis (I need to check again) education and he makes incredible claims based on cosmology as the final word in chronology such that eclipses and comets in history prove unequivocally that the character known as Jesus (but also possibly named as Yeshuah or Emmanuel) likely lived around 1000 AD which could only have come about if the Vatican has rewired history deliberately. I'm looking forward to reading both these books and incorporating the bits that make sense into a rapidly changing picture of history I've yet to make full sense of.

It seems we really have very little understanding of who we really are. Like the most consistent piece of evidence across many disciplines and power structures throughout history is that again and again, at all costs, we mustn't know who we really are. 

This thought ties in with a lot of thinking I've uncovered elsewhere but there's no evidence to back it up so I wont repeat it until there is. If ever. Though privately I don't mind sharing what I know.


Here's the blurb:



Learn how and why Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt were crafted during Renaissance. What if the Old Testament was a rendition of events of Middle Ages written after the New Testament? Did the crusaders really wait for 1000 years to punish the tormentors of the Messiah? What if Jesus Christ was born in 1053 and crucified in 1086 AD?


Sounds unbelievable? Not after you've read "History: Fiction or Science?" by Anatoly Fomenko, leading mathematician of our time. He follows in steps of Sir Isaac Newton and finds clear evidence of falsification of History. Armed with logic, astronomy and computers he proves the history of humankind to be both dramatically different and drastically shorter than generally presumed.


Archaeological, dendrochronological, paleographical and carbon methods of dating of ancient sources and artifacts are both non-exact and contradictory, therefore there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artifact that could be reliably and independently dated earlier than the XI century.


The consensual chronology we live with was essentially crafted in the XVI century from the contradictory mix of innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts (all originals have mysteriously disappeared) and the "proofs" delivered by the late mediaeval astronomers, cemented by the authority of writings of the Church Fathers.


In fact, for the last 300 years, the whole class of historians created, researched, perfected and polished a world of phantom universal history and classical civilization artfully constructed by their predecessors in the course of XVI-XVIII centuries at the command of powers of that time. They have polished the real world history into oblivion!


"History: Fiction or Science?", leads You step by step to the inevitable conclusion that the classical chronology is false and therefore, that the history of ancient and medieval world, is also FALSE. After reading this book you will certainly have a fresh and very suspicious outlook on "ancient" and "enigmatic" Roman, Greek and Egyptian, mediaeval as well as all other "lost and found" civilizations.

Nevermind - Twenty Years Later

Two decades ago I'd been listening to Nirvana's Nevermind for a couple of weeks while I was living in the town of Giessen in Germany at the age of 23 selling Harley Davidsons, Chryslers and GM vehicles to US military troops. Three of us headed to Amsterdam one weekend and I put the Nevermind cassette in the car stereo. It wasn't long before Russell, the former punk exclaimed 'what is this shit', Geoff agreed immediately and so it didn't get a full play. 

I can't remember if it was on the way there, or on the return journey back to Giessen but we'd run out of music so it got another play and by the time we arrived back home the other two had becoming raving lunatics about how good this incredible album was. Nevermind became our anthem for much more frequent runs down to Frankfurt in the Corvette or the Jeep show vehicles. It was here we scored cannabis resin and explored the downtown area of brothels, pimps, pushers, junkies and transsexuals around the Hauptbahnhoff till early in the morning before heading back to Giessen to the soundtrack of Nirvana's Nevermind.


I wont burden you with my album review as there are other top twenty emotions I'd much rather write about and I think Stuart Maconie of The New Statesman has done a good job. Here's the bits I liked.



To understand the seismic impact of Nevermind and of that incendiary first single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", in particular, one has to hear it - metaphorically at least - through the cheap, fizzing foam headphones of late-1980s pop. Nirvana emerged, to paraphrase Auden, at "the fag end of a low, dishonest decade", at least as far as mass-market pop went. MTV had nullified and sedated white rock. Madonna and Michael Jackson were at creative lows. Hip-hop, after the firestorms of Public Enemy and NWA, had fizzled out in the vaudeville of MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. Alternative rock largely meant REM, who were huge but spoke now to the constituency that also bought Annie Lennox and Bruce Springsteen records, rather than to disaffected teens.


"I've been confronted by people wanting to beat me up, by people heckling me and being so drunk and obnoxious because they think I'm this pissy rock-star bastard who can't come to grips with his fame . . . I was in a rock club the other night . . . and one guy comes up, pats me on the back and says, 'You've got a really good thing going, you know? Your band members are cool, you write great songs, you affected a lot of people, but, man, you've really got to get your personal shit together!' Then another person comes up and says, 'I hope you overcome your drug problems.' All this happens within an hour while I'm trying to watch the Melvins, minding my own business."

Terence McKenna - What's So Great About Mushrooms?

Terence McKenna's shtick about the stoned ape theory which is pretty much disproven now (and actually he knew it was a good story designed to reframe the entheogen Psilocybin discussion) but it's still a good narrative that displays his linguistic talents and polymath ability.
