"With no significant political forces opposing the conversion of our world into a universal marketplace, the conflict of our time is the struggle to retain one’s humanity in an increasingly artificial world. That is the only battle that retains any genuine significance from a traditional perspective."

“Kennedy decided to monitor the Dimona nuclear plant. He insisted on doing so, in order to determine whether or not it produces nuclear weapons. The Israelis refused, but he insisted. This crisis was resolved with the resignation of Ben Gurion. He resigned so he would not have to agree to the monitoring of the Dimona plant, and he gave the green light for the killing of Kennedy. Kennedy was killed because he insisted on the monitoring of the Dimona plant.”

Notes: On September 23, 2009, Gaddafi had the courage to demand an investigation into the Kennedy assignation in front of the United Nations General Assembly. Two years later, he was brutally murdered and his country was ravaged by civil war.

“Sabbateanism is the matrix of every significant movement to have emerged in the eighteenth and nineteenth century, from Hasidism, to Reform Judaism, to the earliest Masonic circles and revolutionary idealism. The Sabbatean believers felt that they were champions of a new world which was to be established by overthrowing the values of all positive religions.”
— Gershom Scholem, The Messianic Idea in Judaism: And Other Essays on Jewish Spirituality
Notes: Sabbateanism was named after it’s founder a Sephardic rabbi and Kabbalist Sabbatai Zevi who in 1666 declared himself to be the Jewish messiah. Up to half of the Jewish diaspora accepted his claims and the Sabbatean principle of ‘redemption through sin’ justified through the Talmudic dictum (Nazir 23b) “transgression committed for its own sake is greater than a commandment not committed for its own sake”.

“I ought to agree with Voltaire that Judaism is not just one more religion, but in its way the root of religious evil. Without the stern, joyless rabbis and their 613 dour prohibitions, we might have avoided the whole nightmare of the Old Testament, and the brutal, crude wrenching of that into prophecy-derived Christianity, and the later plagiarism and mutation of Judaism and Christianity into the various rival forms of Islam. Much of the time, I do concur with Voltaire, but not without acknowledging that Judaism is dialectical.”

“If every day a man takes orders in silence from an incompetent superior, if every day he solemnly performs ritual acts which he privately finds ridiculous, if he unhesitatingly gives answers to questionnaires which are contrary to his real opinions and is prepared to deny his own self in public, if he sees no difficulty in feigning sympathy or even affection where, in fact, he feels only indifference or aversion, it still does not mean that he has entirely lost the use of one of the basic human senses, namely, the sense of humiliation.”

"On the night of December 21/22, the sun reaches its southernmost point. Were it to remain in the south, it would mean death for living beings in the northern hemisphere. Thus we greet the returning sun as a "savior."
On the night when it begins its northward journey, the constellation Virgo, the celestial virgin, appears on the eastern horizon at midnight and is therefore, astrologically, the ascendant.
This coordinates with the myth of the various saviors of humanity, immaculately conceived and born from a virgin. Later, the sun symbolically sacrifices its life on the cross when it passes over the equinoctial point at the spring equinox, an apparent descent as seen from the southern hemisphere and an ascent in the northern sky. The focal points of the year — the four sacred seasons of the solstices and equinoxes — affect the consciousness of all humanity; and no matter on which day the festivals fall, they can provide gateways for the properly attuned heart and mind, allowing us to enter the forecourt of the temple of learning and life. . .
At the winter solstice the universal currents of life help human consciousness to enter divine spheres. At the same time spiritual energy can descend from higher worlds into the human arena: the gods "descend into hell" to garner experience in their underworld — our own world — thereby bringing inspiration and enlightenment to humanity.
At this time each of us also may undergo a new birth. Nature has opened the door, and it is up to us to recognize this and take a step further."

"How else could it have occurred to man to divide the cosmos, on the analogy of day and night, summer and winter, into a bright day-world and a dark night-world peopled with fabulous monsters, unless he had the prototype of such a division in himself, in the polarity between the conscious and the invisible and unknowable unconscious?

“The monks are spreading out like torrents across the countryside; and ruining the temples, they are ruining the countryside itself at one and the same time. For to snatch from a region the temple which protects it is like tearing out its eye, killing it, annihilating it. The temples are the very life of the countryside, where generations have lived in the shelter of the old ways.”
― Pierre Chuvin, A Chronicle of the Last Pagans
Notes: The above passage originates from the Latin orator Litanius' correspondence to Theodosius, wherein he protests the desecration of Pagan Shrines. Within he underscores his recognition of the intellectual and spiritual significance inherent in the activities conducted within these temples, linking them intimately with the vital essence of their natural surroundings. In the Pagan mindset, these acts of destruction transcends a mere assault on those who frequent them; rather, it is understood as a profound act of violence against nature itself.

Notes: In the passing of his birthday, albeit belated, it seemed fitting to pay homage to this great man: a warrior, sage, bard, and dreamer. Who dedicated himself to rekindling ancient myths and legends of old, and wrote as he had intended a mythology worthy of the Anglo-Saxons. In the absence of bedtime chronicles featuring hobbits, wizards, dwarves, and dragons, it’s unlikely this channel would exist. So, happy 132nd birthday to J.R.R. Tolkien!

Mythology is there to remind us of our correct and natural values. J.R.R. Tolkien gave us one of the most important and comprehensive mythologies of the European canon, and never have the lessons therein been more prudent.
“Know that however ugly the parts appear the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand Is an ugly thing, and man dissevered from the earth and stars and his history… often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness, the greatest beauty is Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe.”

Notes: Born on this day in 1887, Robinson Jeffers was once acclaimed among America's greatest poets; now, he resides in literary obscurity—a fate rooted in his politically incorrect subjects, themes, and perspectives, as well as his staunch opposition to America's entry into World War II. Jeffers' oeuvre exalted nature and the wilderness, diverging from the modernist vogue of his era and opting instead for a narrative and epic form.

“Enclosed within his artificial creation, man finds that there is “no exit”; that he cannot pierce the shell of technology again to find the ancient milieu to which he was adapted for hundreds of thousands of years . In our cities there is no more day or night or heat or cold. But there is overpopulation, thralldom to press and television, total absence of purpose. All men are constrained by means external to them to ends equally external. The further the technical mechanism develops that allows us to escape natural necessity, the more we are subjected to artificial technical necessities.”

“To control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.”
― John Henrik Clarke
Notes: It can be widely observed that the manipulation of identity, history, and culture profoundly impacts a population. Those who shape the narrative of people's self-perception and historical consciousness wield true power in the world. By instilling the low vibrational frequencies of shame and guilt regarding one's culture and history, those in power can establish a form of mental captivity. Subjugation is not solely a matter of external forces but also a psychological battle to be resisted at every turn, a battle that commences by reclaiming our culture, true history, and identity.

“Any power struggle is preceded by a verification of images and iconoclasm. This is why we need poets — they initiate the overthrow, even that of titans.”
― Ernst Jünger, The Forest Passage
Notes: The bard or poet assumes a pivotal role in catalysing the upheaval of entrenched power structures, acting as a transformative force that ignites revolution and renewal. In their capacity as architects of language, symbolism, and cultural narratives, poets wield the unique ability to challenge, reimagine, and reshape prevailing images and symbols through their artistic expressions. This creative agency empowers poets to confront and instigate the overthrow of even the most deeply rooted and formidable power structures.

“A society that has no respect, no regard for its bards, its historians, its storytellers, is a society in steep decline, a society that has lost its very soul and may never find its way.”
― Laurence Overmire
Note: The bard's significance is underestimated in modern times. Their role encompasses guidance, warning, advice, wisdom preservation, tribal heritage, and inspiring remarkable accomplishments. Musicians craft sonic symphonies that mould our shared consciousness; a vital component for the welfare and destiny of a folk. The world controllers understand the power of music in shaping consciousness, as they know that all revolution is preceded by its soundtrack. For a thought provoking examination of the history of music, view Crecganford's video. He underscores music's pivotal role in culture definition, myth preservation, and storytelling.

“Christianity has been one long act of deceit and self-contradiction. It preaches goodness, humility and love thy neighbour, but under this slogan it has burned and butchered millions to the accompaniment of pious proverbs. The ancients openly admitted that they killed for self-protection, in revenge or as a punishment. The Christians do so only out of love!…Only Christianity has created a vengeful God, one who commits man to Hell the moment he starts using the brains that God gave him. The Classical was an age of enlightenment. With the onset of Christianity scientific research was halted and there began instead a research into the visions of saints, instead of the things that God gave us. Research into nature became a sin.”

“A people consists of a complex of relationships and attitudes, and as such, there is another, far greater threat to it than physical destruction or loss of independence, it is that of dissolution. If men no longer feel as members of the same body, if the climate of trust that unites them disappears, if the symbols they have in common no longer have the same meaning for them... if the moral life of the people disappears. This loss of a moral existence is not due to sudden external causes, but to internal phenomena and dissociators: byproducts of progress.”

“Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history.”
― Carl Jung, Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle
Note: Human perception is plagued by a recurring flaw, particularly exacerbated by those who manipulate psychology to dominate perception. This flaw manifests as the belief that modern understanding surpasses that of past eras. Historical truths are frequently distorted, suppressed, or even criminalised by those in power. This should serve as a stark reminder not to dismiss the wisdom of antiquity. It impels us to bravely unveil layers of obfuscation and to fearlessly stand apart in our perennial pursuit of truth.

“This Jesus of Nazareth, as the embodiment of the gospel of love, this ‘redeemer’ bringing salvation and victory to the poor, the sick, to sinners – was he not seduction in its most sinister and irresistible form, seduction and the circuitous route to just those very Jewish values and innovative ideals? Did Israel not reach the pinnacle of her sublime vengefulness via this very ‘redeemer’, this apparent opponent of and disperser of Israel? Is it not part of a secret black art of a truly grand politics of revenge, a far-sighted, subterranean revenge, slow to grip and calculating, that Israel had to denounce her actual instrument of revenge before all the world as a mortal enemy and nail him to the cross so that ‘all the world’, namely all Israel’s enemies, could safely nibble at this bait? And could anyone, on the other hand, using all the ingenuity of his intellect, think up a more dangerous bait? Something to equal the enticing, intoxicating, benumbing, corrupting power of that symbol of the ‘holy cross’, to equal that horrible paradox of a ‘God on the Cross’, to equal that mystery of an unthinkable final act of extreme cruelty and selfcrucifixion of God for the salvation of mankind? At least it is certain that sub hoc signo Israel, with its revenge and revaluation of all former values, has triumphed repeatedly over all other ideals, all nobler ideals.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morality
Notes: Nietzsche astutely observes that Jesus and thereby Christianity serve as a vehicle for Jewish revenge against its enemies, at that time Rome (referred to as Edom). By presenting Jesus as a sacrificial victim, Christianity transformed the Jewish desire for vengeance into a universal moral imperative, thereby perpetuating a cycle of retribution under the guise of salvation. This subversion of traditional values, wherein weakness and suffering are exalted as virtues, serves to undermine the traditional notions of strength and power, ultimately reshaping moral and ethical frameworks. This represents a form of "grand politics of revenge," wherein Israel strategically denounces its own instrument of revenge, acting as a form of ‘reverse psychology’ in order to consolidate power and influence.
