In the forests and rivers that make up the Congo, there is said to be an enormous beast called the Mokele-Mbembe. It was described in detail by a German Captain by the name of Ludwig Freiherr von Stein zu Lausnitz. He conducted searches of the area in 1913 and his denoscription was reported by author Willy Ley.
“The animal is said to be of a brownish-gray color with a smooth skin, its size is approximately that of an elephant; at least that of a hippopotamus. It is said to have a long and very flexible neck and only one tooth but a very long one; some say it is a horn. A few spoke about a long, muscular tail like that of an alligator. Canoes coming near it are said to be doomed; the animal is said to attack the vessels at once and to kill the crews but without eating the bodies. The creature is said to live in the caves that have been washed out by the river in the clay of its shores at sharp bends. It is said to climb the shores even at daytime in search of food; its diet is said to be entirely vegetable.”

Why I Believe Academia is Dead: A Personal Story
When I was a postdoc at @wur, I supervised a PhD student who participated in a sandwich PhD program in Brazil and the Netherlands. She was married to a man who was also pursuing his PhD at both universities. Their conduct was utterly immoral - they included each other as co-authors in every publication they wrote. Additionally, their Brazilian supervisor coerced other PhD students into adding the woman's name as a co-author, thereby boosting her chances of advancing her career.
What matters in science is the so-called 'h-index'. My h-index means that in the last five years, I have had 24 publications with more than 24 citations each. Many universities and research institutes view this h-index as a key measure of a researcher's impact. And this is where the problem begins.
As a conscientious scientist, I was disturbed by the ethics of my PhD student and brought this up internally at the beginning of 2021. I was told that while it was morally incorrect, it was not a clear violation and that I should not talk about it. Soon after, my contract was terminated because I had publicly criticized the peer review process of Christian Drosten's PCR protocol, which did not occur, contradicting fundamental scientific principles.
Instead of supporting those who advocate for transparent and honest science, the system ultimately rewards those who are corrupt, deceitful, lie, and even shy away from the truth if it benefits their career.
Ultimately, I have concluded that science is nothing more than intellectual prostitution. One serves those who pay, ensuring that research findings align with what the funders most want to hear. Critical thinking and honesty, once the cornerstones of science, now belong to the past.
Therefore, I said: Goodbye academia, hello common sense.

Hard as it is to believe that the cult of Covid still has any followers–four years on–the reality is that many remain under the spell.
This clip of Nick Hudson articulating the absurdity of the timeline is a very useful one. It may be employed to confirm that you have not gone mad.
Mostly, though, it serves as a powerful reminder of the deceit, corruption, complicity, collusion and inhumanity of those that served up, and went along with, the most diabolical and divisive falsehood.

"Where physics went wrong" is part of the story Fields & Energy tells. Scientism - the bane of true scientific discovery - has deep roots in occult thinking, as you saw in my discussion of Francis Bacon. I prefer to focus primarily on the positive story of how electromagnetic science developed, but there's an extensive occult dark side I don't have time to examine in detail. If you'd like to go down the rabbit hole and learn more about the occult influences on science, this excellent piece by @anon_fa_mous is a good place to start.

THE OCCULT ROOTS OF MODERN SOCIETY
Our modern society is built upon mathematics, the natural sciences, physics, astronomy, biology, music, theatre and philosophy, which all have their origins with the occult.
