Miles just published part 1 of a 4-part piece on “Ancient Spooks” up at his site. I am starting a new post devoted to discussion of this series of papers, as it seems they will be important and spark lots of discussion. I’d rather have the discussion here rather than on the main ‘Defending Miles Mathis’ thread. I might do this as new important papers or topics come up.
Here is the link to part 1.
Here is the link to part 2.
Here is the link to part 3.
Here is the link to part 4.
Here is the link to part 5.
And here is a link to Miles’ work on the issue, Where Did All the Phoenicians Go?
Update 4/23/20: Here is a link to Gerry’s new website devoted mainly to the puns and double entendres of Ancient Spooks.
The only other time I remember seeing “Zelle” – that’s the name of a payment platform used by some US banks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelle_(payment_service)
I wonder if that’s some spooky nod to Mata Hari there.

We have a politician called Helen Zille. Used to be a journalist. Therefore likely a spook. And Jewish. We know they fudge the spelling of their names.

Comment got stuck, I’ll try a shorter one: I did an Ancient Spooks Update, and the most important new article is a decryption of Caesar’s assassination.

Good stuff. Makes sense now why so many political actors throughout history paid homage to Caesar.
The pun story of how they faked it using stylus and fake blood packets reminds me of the various “exposures” written by the Church Fathers on the pagans and Roman/Greek mystery cults, such as Clement of Alexandria’s Protrepticus and the very interesting Hippolytus of Rome’s Refutation of All Heresies. The later is especially interesting, as the writer details on how the temples would use various chemical mixtures and tools (such as to fake the sound of thunder, controlled at the precise time) to fool their audiences into thinking they dealing with real gods. Books 2 and 3 are missing from Refutation, and having read some of this, I suspect these books were the juiciest and most revealing parts.
The story of Apsethus the Libyan is a good one. He cages up a bunch of birds and teaches them to say “Apsethus is a god”, then releases them out into the wild, which fools the Libyans. Then the Greeks figure out how to get him back and out him, by teaching the birds to say “Apsethus, having caged us, compelled us to say, Apsethus is a god.” Then the Libyans, “having heard of the recantation of the parrots”, roasted him. Hilarious.

Clement of Alexandria almost reads like 3rd century controlled opposition. He goes into great detail exposing the ‘ridiculousness of the pagan cults and mystery rites’, claims the Greek gods were real people but tricksters (admitting Zeus had a hook nose), but he never exposes pun encryption as Gerry does, as far as I can tell. They do make it clear a major part of the Mystery Religions were about brainwashing adherents with ritualized psychedelics. Anyone who reads Plutrach’s or another’s account of the mystery rites and has done psychedelics will see it.
This is why I believe in a cyclical view of history and have a keen interest in this time period, since it seems we’re just re-living the past over and over again. Thousands and thousands of years of Operation CHAOS. Coyote said it right in his recent paper: this is a psychological war against Mankind, waged by the Phoenician governors who trap us in their reoccurring nightmare.

Clement of Alexandria really has some funny stories there, I only just read a bit into it. He’s hedging in all directions though: Those wicked fraudsters cheat their followers through cheap tricks, AND WITH THE HELP OF DEMONS! BEWARE OF THE DEMONS!!1! When we say there’s no magic and it’s all tricks, then it’s tricks, and when we say it’s demons, then it’s demons. đŸ˜‰
Plutarch’s work on superstition is also often cited by people who are obsessed with demons & Satanism. I think he only talks about false belief in demons, but that’s apparently good enough for most.
Not sure why they even wanted to “enlighten” their subjects at that time. Was it just about centralization around a new center? Was superstition too traditional & stable, and less easily controlled? Or was there awareness about the old tricks already, so they had to control the opposition by leading it? Had early industrialization made people aware of all the chemical tricks? Judging from the blood packages and later hoaxes, I’d say they were still duped as always.

I think it’s D). All of the above.
You nailed it about Clement. He really does now read like the Alex Jones of his day, misdirecting us into sexy stories of Satanist diddlers.
I deemed it the Monotheism Project, or the centralization of religions around the world, for the purpose of profit and control. Much like what happened to the centralization of government around the world in the past two centuries. It’s not just in the West or the Arabian Peninsula that his occurred, and some sects of Buddhism and other Eastern religions have a strong monotheistic tone to it. Not that there is anything wrong in believing in one god, but for Phoneys its always about control. It’s just easier to control one or a handful of centralized religions, versus every town or tribe having it’s own variations.
I think the Bronze Age Collapse and the ‘Axial Age’ brought a real upheaval to their command structures, much like the later ‘Dark Age’. Whether this collapse was fully or partially done on purpose, or not intended at all, depends on how you want to read it. I say Ferengi are always gonna Ferengi, and will take advantage of any situation.
I believe the old religions died out not just because the Ferengi killed them off, but regular folk over the centuries began to see how the temples became totally corrupt and useless. Hence the story of Jesus tossing the moneylenders out of the temple. It wasn’t just Jewish temples that had moneylenders, but many of the Roman and Greek temples did too, so we can see how that story and Christianity would have very broad appeal to pagans as well. They had profit-making factories producing “sacred” trinkets by the millions, and endless parades of fake and scab priests so intertwined in the then current corrupt system that anybody with two denarii left in their heads could see through them. By the peak the Roman Empire the trillionaire and billionaire Families of the time had pretty much raked in 95% of society’s wealth. Much like today.
Then you read stories like Alexander of Abonoteichus, and suspect this fraud was employed by them to make the pagans look as ridiculous as possible. Then they hired Lucian of Samosata to write about it and ridicule. Like the later Martin Luther v. the Medici Popes showdown in later centuries.
“During the time when Lucian lived, traditional Greco-Roman religion was in decline and its role in society had become largely ceremonial.[13] As a substitute for traditional religion, many people in the Hellenistic world joined mystery cults, such as the Mysteries of Isis, Mithraism, the cult of Cybele, and the Eleusinian Mysteries.[14] Superstition had always been common throughout ancient society,[14] but it was especially prevalent during the second century.[14][15] Most educated people of Lucian’s time adhered to one of the various Hellenistic philosophies,[14] of which the major ones were Stoicism, Platonism, Peripateticism, Pyrrhonism, and Epicureanism.[14] Every major town had its own university[14] and these universities often employed professional travelling lecturers,[14] who were frequently paid high sums of money to lecture about various philosophical teachings.[16] The most prestigious center of learning was the city of Athens in Greece, which had a long intellectual history.[16]”
Substitute ‘decline in traditional Greco-Roman religion’ for holiday and ceremony (weddings and funerals) only Christians like myself and many others these days, ‘mystery cults’ for today’s New Age religions, ‘Hellenistic philosophies’ for the various materialist based physics theories that Miles often ridicules, and ‘every major town with high paid traveling lecturers’ with highly paid university/college spooks in every town hoaxing and misdirecting the people all the time.

That’s a lot of insights in just a few comments, maybe worthy of several new papers.
If Christendom now ~ ceremonial Jupiter in 0 BC
& materialist based physics ~ Hellenistic philosophies in 0 BC
But what is then the equivalent now, for christendom in 0 BC (somewhat later of course)? Must be atheism?
And I gahter Philip means with the materialst based physics the particle-Zoo, borrowing from the vacuum, etc.?

@Gijs: Yes, all those ridiculous theories Miles tears apart, including the ‘ultimate answer to everything’ theories like the big bang, the ultimate equation, etc.
If you look up Pyrrhonism and other Hellenistic philosophers of that stripe, you’ll find they were actually pushing Buddhism, but in another form. At least in Pyrrhonism they admit he travelled with Alexander the Great’s army and studied with the Indian gymnosophists. However, they don’t admit Epicurus pushed pretty much the same Buddhistic worldview (ataraxia and aponia) on the Greeks and later Romans. See also the Epicurean poet Philodemus of Gadara. The name Gadara makes me wonder if there’s a connection to Gautama and all its variants. See Miles’ recent paper on Buddhism. Gadara was the birthplace of the satirist and Cynicist Menippus, who was admittedly a Phoenician and a pretty huge red flag. Pretty much confirms everything I suspected about the Cynicism, a Phoney project to sow discord, apathy, and nihilism.

Divus Julius 81.c and Gerry’s pun decryption reveals that Lucius Cornelius Balbus was the one who handled the fake assassination event. Wiki confirms it.
“Lucius Cornelius Balbus (fl. 1st century BC) was born in Gades early in the first century BC. Lucius Cornelius Balbus was a wealthy Roman politician and businessman of Punic origin and a native of Gades in Hispania, who played a significant role in the emergence of the Principate at Rome”
“Balbus’ personal friendships with Pompey and Caesar were instrumental in the formation of the First Triumvirate. He was a chief financier in Rome.”
Meaning he was the chief Phoenician banker at the time, with the Cornelius being a hidden top ranking family still to this day. Plus wiki confirms he was Rome’s first naturalized citizen and took care of Caesar’s Commentarii de Bello Gallico, which means he probably heavily edited or even wrote the book himself.

Yes, faked. Usual script complete with a usual documentary, yet another charity-front foundation, and names of the killers (Nashville Julius, Geraldo Parsons, Eben Van Niekerk , and Vernon Witboo) that all link up with peerage or Afrikaans politicians.

Philip Cox:
The names of the killers sound authentic for the region, but there might be some hidden references to peerage names(Parsons, Nashville) and it is not a dig at Afrikaners. Funnily enough the unspoken take-away is against miscegenation, for it is never confirmed or denied that the deceased was in a relationship with her valiant companion, a “person of color”. Just like it is insinuated, but never explicitly stated, that the mother suicided.
Eleven hours of terror. Imagine that. Fortunately the killers got 358 years. That is, 3+5=8, and another 8 for the magikal 88.
Quite a pointless little plot, unless it was to get someone into deep cover.

The site I used for the literal translations has a speech by Cicero in defense of Lucius Cornelius Balbus. Cicero was said to be one of the greatest speakers, so I suppose there’s doublespeak involved as well. Even the English translation looks like he just lists all the corruption & crimes, and puts a “did not” before that.

We have a pun on Cicero, which we learn from early school, but which is difficult to translate.
https://spkfrnch.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/si-cest-rond-cest-point-carre/
in French the famous speaker is called Cicéron and therefore:
“CicĂ©ron c’est PoincarĂ©” (si c’est rond, c’est point carrĂ© = if it’s round, it’s not square)
from the day I learned this little joke, I never considered Cicero as a serious person again… I always imagined him as a tartuffe… sometimes credibility hangs by a wire…
For the mathematician Poincaré, the sum of the angles of a triangle is always less than 180° (even in maths, there are markers)
you have to dare to call yourself poincaré when you are a french mathematician !
the PoincarĂ© seem to be a small Phoenician family, they are 5 or 6 to be famous, come out of nowhere, then disappear towards nowhere…
or they are directly descended from Cicero and we are all blind idiots
