That’s a great video and a good reminder that we live in a dynamic Universe where every thing is changing its position each nanosecond. The reality is far more complicated than shown in the video, as we are also orbiting the centre of our galaxy and our orbit will be influenced the other massive bodies we pass on our journey. Finally our galaxy is also orbiting around the centre of mass of the Universe, so trying to get a handle on our actual position in space at any moment in time is only ever a close approximation.
We still have much to learn.

Shouldn’t the galactic ‘stellar wind’ be slowing the sun down, considering it’s a headwind? When our own solar wind suddenly increases due to a solar flare for instance, when it hits the atmosphere, the atmosphere is compressed and bounces back.

Both videos depict the planets as dragging behind the sun. What would cause the drag? Would the cp sea do that?
Could that pattern of motion explain apparent gravitational attraction?
The videographer, DJ Sadhu, attributes the ideas to Keshava Bhat:
http://www.feandft.com/curriculum-vitae-of-dr-pallathadka-keshava-bhat/
Astronomer Phil Plait, who (according to the link he provides) “has appeared as a talking head on approximately a bazillion Discovery Channel shows,” argues against Bhat’s ideas here:
https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/no-our-solar-system-not-vortex
Here’s an excerpt from Plait’s argument:
“The claim that the Sun is at the tip of the solar system with the planets trailing behind is also demonstrably wrong. The Sun does not really lead the solar system through the galaxy like the tip of a bullet as Bhat apparently claims (and as Sadhu’s videos show). The planets go around the Sun, and the whole shebang moves around the galaxy as a unit, tipped by that 60° angle. That means sometimes the planets are ahead of the Sun, and sometimes behind it along that galactic orbit.
“It’s a bit like walking down a path while spinning around your head a string with a ball attached at the end (and the circle it makes tipped by 60°). Sometimes the ball is ahead of you and sometimes behind you. It always moves with you down the path no matter how fast you go, and relative to you is always moving at the same speed. If you trace your own motion you make a line, and the ball makes a tilted helix. This is what Bhat and Sadhu are trying to describe, but get wrong.”
Hmm, OK, but that analogy makes the angle 0°. Spinning a ball on a string, while LEANING WAY FORWARD, wouldn’t that be a hybrid? With the ball ahead sometimes, but mostly behind?
Behind, unless we replace the string with a stiff wire, then the ball does not follow behind, but stays even, regardless of the angle. Which should it be? Which more closely models the behavior of the force binding the solar system, do we know?

The video is both correct and misleading at the same time.
The planets aren’t in the galaxy’s gravity “well”, they are in the sun’s. They follow the sun’s motion, and are indeed sometimes ahead of it relative to the sun’s motion around the galactic core. But the planets are “glued” to the sun, not to the galaxy.
In the same way, the moon is “glued” to the Earth, not to the sun. It’s in balance with the sun mostly but it’s not in the sun’s gravity well, it’s in the Earths’.
The moon has its own gravity well, also. Once one enters the moon’s gravity well, the Earths’ gravity is trumped and overwhelmed. The pull of the Earth has been nullified by the pull of the closer body, the moon.
Mapping motion trails is a tricky thing – they can tell you whatever you want them to, but they don’t necessarily tell us what’s actually happening.
GarrettDerner’s quote from Plait: “The claim that the Sun is at the tip of the solar system with the planets trailing behind is also demonstrably wrong. The Sun does not really lead the solar system through the galaxy like the tip of a bullet as Bhat apparently claims (and as Sadhu’s videos show). The planets go around the Sun, and the whole shebang moves around the galaxy as a unit, tipped by that 60° angle.

GarrettDerner said, “Where does Relativity come in?”
Because it matter where you’re viewing something FROM. If you’re watching from the sun for example, the planets appear to move a certain way. The photons you receive FROM the planets telling you where it was will be different than the photons you receive from another vantage point.
Yes, the planets are spiralling through space along with the galaxy, but is that helpful as a model of how the planets spin around the sun? No, not at all. They are in the sun’s gravity well, not the galaxy’s. Or some balance between the two which effectively is STILL just the sun’s gravity.
So we have so study objects from their own perspective and also screen them against the background of OUR perspective. The galaxy doesn’t care. The Universe, definitely not. To measure planets and their orbits you have to study the body that THEY are orbiting, not the bodies that their orbiter is orbiting. Sure that plays a part but it’s so tiny we can ignore it for initial measurements and maths. It’s fodder, it can be filtered out.
If you wanna know how the moon moves you don’t study Alpha Centauri or Sirius. You study the moon, the Earth, and the sun. In that order. When we find perturbations, we look to the nearest influences – which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Not Ganymede or Titan initially. Not Pluto or Mercury necessarily. You study the near objects first and determine if they have an influence.

Space travel is mainly about entering and changing orbits. Naturally this is no problem, as there are evidently celestial objects in orbits and the changing of orbits occurs as well. Can this be done artficially? Surely, if you have enough fuel for the needed changes in velocity. But what if you don’t have enough fuel? Now, the reality of space travel as it is presented by space agencies and msm hinges largely on two questions: Are gravity assists real? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_assist) and are heat shields capable of resisting reentry heat at the reported velocities? Both are necessary to make mission critical velocity changes without any fuel.

“Space travel is mainly about entering and changing orbits.”
So they claim indeed. But orbits are, according to the model they use, the result of gravitational forces. You cannot “enter” or “change” orbits. You can only be caught in one. Which you always will be; hence why space travel is impossible (both for us and for extraterrestrials).
People here really think that some space thingy can escape the same force [the only force existing all around in ‘space’] that keep the Moon, Earth, Sun, planets, asteroids, etc. together in an eternal beautifully predictable bachata?

And then we are not even at -270…
As you see, Hydrogen melts at -259, so it is a fluid at the temperatures of space (according to their own claims). It is a not a gas (vapor phase) and thus they could never use the lightest element as rocket fuel.

Time to draw a long bow and send an arrow at one of the big questions: where did these Jews come from anyway? If you’re not down for some super high octane speculation, better to just skip this. I can’t really give a TL;DR either, because I suspect it’ll sound like lunacy until you see the evidence as I came across it in the effort to answer simple questions. And what I found were strange, disparate pieces that must somehow fit together to form history. Apologies for the length.
What is the origin of the word “jew”? Gerry discusses this in AS5, but in my view it goes even deeper and comes from the Hebrew Yud. In the wiki “Yodh:Origins”, they tell us that this letter originated from a pictograph of a hand, which traces to Proto-Semitic and perhaps to the Egyptian hieroglyph of an arm or hand. Does this signify anything?
And what’s up with these “hamsa” amulets Gerry went over in AS5? Clearly they were quite significant as they were and are “popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa”, as wiki tells us. But let’s look further: “Early use of the hamsa has been traced to ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) as well as ancient Carthage [Phoenicia].” Well, that makes their use very old indeed, and makes me think that their modern significance may be quite different from the original. So what is that significance? We’ve seen this “hand” thing twice now, both times in deep antiquity.
Do we still reflect this “hand” idea in English today? Sure, very commonly: “All hands on deck”, or “handyman”, or even “the long arm of the law”. But note the underlying usage: sailors are reporting to take orders, not give them; the handyman does small jobs around the house, he doesn’t own it; the policeman enforces the law, he isn’t the legislator. And if you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the Hand of the King carries out the king’s will but is not the king, correct? Let’s press on.
Does the word “Hebrew” mean the same thing as “Jew”? Oddly, there seems to be no firm answer in the mainstream. So what does the etymology say? Again, there’s no firm answer at all and it’s even foggier than the first question. I did come across this: one theory holds that it traces back to the word “ivri”. How interesting! You see, I had read elsewhere that a person of the Sumerian city of Nibru would hand been called “nibri”, eventually shortened to just “ibri”. Coincidence?
I suppose you know the Jews have their own calendar, but did you ever notice they have a super high year number? In 2019 it’s now the year 5779 according to them. In short, that means their “Year Zero” was 3760BC. Maimonides calculated that was the date of the “creation of the world”. Now the plot really thickens because there’s an ancient Sumerian calendar known as the “Nippur calendar” and what’s strange is that no academic seems to even want to mention that it must have its own “Year Zero”. You can find non-mainstream sources place it at 3773BC or even simply the same as the Hebrew calendar. Oh really? Also, the city of Nippur was originally known as Nibru. Didn’t we just see that?
Since we’ve been looking at so many Jewish surnames in our studies, have you ever noticed the patterns in them? They fall into a small number of groups and wiki even has a “Category:Jewish surnames” page. You’ll notice that two of the six are “Kohenitic” and “Levite”, and we have seen so very many of those among the cryptos, haven’t we? (See Gerry’s AS5 for a discussion of “Levi”.) And so many other Jewish surnames seem quite literally mundane, with many translating to simple occupations. It seems that even among the Chosen there are Chosen. We might think that today’s surnames are more or less random, but given that categories are still apparent among Jews, might there have been something like a more meaningful assignment when they originated?
And what’s up with Jewish laws against intermarriage? It runs from Ezra Chapter 9 through to the Israeli Interior Ministry, in addition to being deeply culturally embedded. It’s all quite bigoted, especially by today’s SJW standards, but of course no one calls them on it. Our social betters keep insisting all the rest of us are bigots (to which I do not subscribe) but this is way beyond that. Supposed ultra-racist and eternal punching bag David Duke only uses the word “miscegenation” when criticizing Jewish attitudes against it, which is about as far as you can get from advocating laws against it. So what was the genesis of this prohibition?
Finally, who was the first Jew? Some few would be able to name Abraham, and most of those would guess he was some random goat-herder plucked out of obscurity on a mission from God. I’ll have to cut a very long story short here, but it appears Abe and his father Terah were plugged in at the highest levels of the Sumerian priesthood, and that’s why he got the assignment. So… what, a Stone Age witch doctor? Who cares?
Take a look at a plan view of the ancient city of Ur. (Abraham was born there, making him a Sumerian. It’s also the location of the US military base Camp Adder. Another coincidence.) The temple complex takes up, to my eye, about 15% of the entire city. The buildings therein were much larger and more sophisticated than the simple one and two-story dwellings surrounding them. Also, take a look at the Ziggurat of Ur, restored by Saddam, which is quite impressive even in 2019. For perspective, the temple complex scaled up to modern Rome would be 100 Vaticans (yes, I penciled it out), and there was a temple complex in each city. Abraham Terah were heavy hitters. Why is this all overlooked by historians and theologians?
So how does this all fit together? Buckle up.
About 6000 years ago in Sumer, human civilization was opened up for business ex nihilo. Some of the Neolithic humans were “chosen” and brought together to serve TPTB, building and moving into cities for the purpose. These were the original “jews”. They were trained and given assignments, and were not to intermix with the “wild-type” humans. Certain of them were given managerial (“kohen”) and administrative (“levi”) functions. All within the city had a task and a place in the hierarchy, and all outside the city might as well have been cattle (“goyim”). Although elaborated, occulted, and diffused, do you not think this system still exists today?
Bonus coincidence #1: I just heard about a recent book called “The Fall” by Steve Taylor. While his thesis is nothing like mine, he recognized that 4000BC saw the introduction into human society of: war, patriarchy, massive inequality, class system, gods/organized religion, and violent invasion.
Bonus coincidence #2: In 1650, Bishop James Ussher, working from the Old Testament, calculated the date of Creation as 4004BC. For the record, I’m not a Young Earth Creationist but it’s still pretty weird, right?

That’s something I thought also, since Gerry came up with Jew being another name for ‘leader’.
You’re also basically describing one of the underlying plots of Battlestar Galactica, the new miniseries. The underlying plot is said to be based on Mormon religion, but we now know Mormonism goes deeper (crypto-Jewish) than that. One of the subplots is about the Cylons and humans intermingling and then seeding the Earth. The Cylons almost wiped out the humans in an apocalyptic, deluge like catastrophe (nuclear Armageddon). They’re are a monotheistic race based on a very numerologist set of clones, and chase the 12 colonies (based on the zodiac) all the way to Earth. When they get here they inter-breed with protohumans who were already here, and 150,00 years later here we are.
The spook-a-nomics behind the show is interesting, including show-creator Ron Moore and that a couple of the actresses were later caught up in some silly sex-cult scam. Some top Family names in the cast roster and not just Moore, including a Forbes, Rhodes, and Campbell.

As for not-so-ancient spookery, I just found this little gem:
Until I saw the documentary “The Revolutionary” at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival, I mistakenly thought that China during the revolutionary period was one country that had not felt the Jewish embrace. In fact, 85 to 90% of the foreigners helping the Chinese at the time of the Communist takeover were Jewish. This included the daughter of the founder of the brokerage firm Goldman Sachs, who left the comfort of her Park Avenue home to assist the Chinese.

As for the historical operations in China of the Phoenicians (or any of their numerous proxies), I have the sneaking suspicion that one of them was the Taiping Rebellion of 1850-64. I suspect only a handful in the English-speaking world have ever even heard the name, but Wiki describes it thusly: “It ranks as one of the bloodiest wars in human history, the bloodiest civil war, and the largest conflict of the 19th century. Estimates of the war dead range from 20–70 million to as high as 100 million, with millions more displaced.” I’ve never once heard it mentioned by the mainstream.
But why would I think the Jews might have been behind it? “Led by Hong Xiuquan, the self-proclaimed brother of Jesus Christ, the goals of the Taipings were religious, nationalist, and political in nature; they sought the conversion of the Chinese people to the Taiping’s syncretic version of Christianity, the overthrow of the ruling Manchus, and a wholesale transformation and reformation of the state.” Sounds kinda like he was Trump Christ, and I think we all know how the Phoenicians feel about Trump and Christ.
Might it be yet another war that was managed and largely faked? Possibly, as that certainly seems to be the rule for wars. But then we have to answer the question of why they would fake it then flush it down the memory hole. Haven’t we also learned that our attention should be drawn most acutely to that which is most pointedly ignored?

Anyways, I’ve been trying to ‘fill the gap’ so to speak and been doing some light readings on Greco-Bactrian, the Indo-Greeks, and early Buddhist/Mauryan history.
I’m sure some people out there have already figured this out, especially since it’s fairly easy to figure it out on the Wiki pages… but Buddhism was an Ancient spook project.
First clue: Buddha’s bodyguard was Vajrapani, or Hercules.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajrapani#In_India
Also the reason I say this is that early Buddhist history is fuzzy (of course), and doesn’t seem to get active until after the “Greek” invasions in India.
Nah, Alexander the Great,The Project, didn’t stop at the Hyphasis. They really try to oversell the idea in causal mainstream history that Alexander’s army mutinied and all the Greeks went home save for a few colonizers. Mainstream also says Buddhism was a true Indian invention..
Yeah I’m not so sure about that anymore.
Ashoka the Great was also a spook project, except on the other side. However he barely exists in the archeological record.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashoka
“According to Roman historian Appian, Chandragupta had made a “marital alliance” with Seleucus; there is thus a slight possibility that Ashoka had a Seleucid Greek grandmother.[17][18] An Indian Puranic source, the Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purana, also described the marriage of Chandragupta with a Greek (“Yavana”) princess, daughter of Seleucus.[19][20] Although there are no evidence showing if the Seleucid princess, as one of the many consorts of the Mauryan harem, had any children, let alone giving birth to Bindusara.[21]”
I’m not sure if I read it here or on another Wiki page, but Ashoka would be at least a quarter Yona, or “Greek” (or 100% spook). It was his grandfather (I believe), Chandragupta Maurya, who had a handler behind his throne named Chanakya, also known as Kautilya. He would write a political treatise called the Arthashastra, that honestly after reading a few chapters, makes The Prince read like a book for wee children. It’s crazy psychotic, and the whole point of it is to set up and maintain totalitarian spy regime.

You’re right: The fact that Buddhism needs is also proclaimed in Greek & Aramaic puts a question mark to the “true Indian invention”. The empires of several merchant overlords may have overlapped in the region, and perhaps they wished for a merger into some silk-road joint-venture. The Susa weddings were another such puzzle piece earlier on.
“The usage of Aramaic reflect the fact that Aramaic (the so-called Official Aramaic) had been the official language of the Achaemenid Empire which had ruled in those parts until the conquests of Alexander the Great.”

As for possible punnery in the name of Buddha’s “protector” वज्रपाणि Vajira-Pani:
वज्र vajra means “thunderbolt” & “diamond”, but also hard & mighty
पणितृ pani means “hand”, but also trader & seller
So the guy lurking behind the image of Buddha could simply be a mighty trader. Or a diamond merchant.
And in the Greek design also a “hidden leader”, with the Hercules imagery. Must’ve been difficult for the ancient spooks to keep up with all the multi-lingual punnery.

I thought about that statement for awhile after writing it. I have a bit of difficult time writing about religion, since I don’t want to give anyone a serious bout of cognitive dissonance or lose the positive aspects of their faith. But it’s hard to know where to draw the line, since every time I look into the beginnings of the major religions I keep finding the same type of shady people behind it or around it, and the same type of tricks being pulled. So ‘Bdh’ means to invent or fabricate!? Ooo wee..
But you’re right. These spooks are ‘untapped’. They have to hijack and corrupt the real thing and twist it to suit their own evil purposes. Reading about the Buddhism, my guess is that whatever was real back then came out of the Sramana movement, and they hijacked this. The Brahmins definitely represented old Indian aristocratic, moneylending & priestly spook class (think rabbis), and the Sramanas were their new enemy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Arama%E1%B9%87a
“The śramaṇa refers to a variety of renunciate ascetic traditions from the middle of the 1st millennium BCE.[11] The śramaṇas were individual, experiential and free-form traditions.[11] The term “śramaṇas” is used sometimes to contrast them with “Brahmins” in terms of their religious models.[11] Part of the śramaṇa tradition retained their distinct identity from Hinduism by rejecting the epistemic authority of the Vedas, while a part of the śramaṇa tradition became part of Hinduism as one stage in the Ashrama dharma, that is as renunciate sannyasins.[11][27]”
Reminds me of early conflict between early Christianity v. Judaism right around the same time Buddhism was getting hot and its conflict with Hinduism. The parallels are striking. My knowledge on the Vedas and Hinduism is close to zero though.

While reading about Buddha’s son, Rāhula, I was reminded he and Gautama were from the Shakya</> royal family. The amount of times they’ve re-spelled or shuffled up this name throughout history is immense. Reading up on Scythian history will connect to you just about every other single nomadic empire in history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakya
“Some scholars, including Michael Witzel[44] and Christopher I. Beckwith[45] argue that the Shakya were Scythians from Central Asia or Iran, and that the name Śākya has the same origin as “Scythian”, called Sakas in India. Scythians were part of the Achaemenid army in the Achaemenid conquest of the Indus Valley from the 6th century BCE.[46] Indo-Scythians were also known to have appeared later in South Asia in the Middle Kingdom period, around the 2nd century BCE to the 4th century CE.[47]”
Plenty of other wiki pages and elsewhere that confirms the same, despite the amount of obfuscation on these pages.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythians
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saka
“The Scythians (/ˈsɪθiən, ˈsɪð-/; from Greek Σκύθης, Σκύθοι), also known as Scyth, Saka, Sakae, Iskuzai, or Askuzai, were a nomadic people who dominated the Pontic steppe from about the 7th century BC up until the 3rd century BC…
The Scythians are generally believed to have been of Iranian origin.[5] They spoke a language of the Scythian branch of the Iranian languages,[6] and practiced a variant of ancient Iranian religion.[7] Among the earliest peoples to master mounted warfare,[8] the Scythians replaced the Cimmerians as the dominant power on the Pontic Steppe in the 8th century BC.[9] During this time they and related peoples came to dominate the entire Eurasian Steppe from the Carpathian Mountains in the west to Ordos Plateau in the east,[10][11] creating what has been called the first Central Asian nomadic empire.[9][12] Based in what is modern-day Ukraine and southern Russia, the Scythians called themselves Scoloti and were led by a nomadic warrior aristocracy known as the Royal Scythians”
Remember Cimmerians = Gomerites = Gomer = son of Japheth from the Table of Nations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomer
“In 1498 Annio da Viterbo published fragments known as Pseudo-Berossus, now considered a forgery, claiming that Babylonian records had shown that Comerus Gallus, i.e. Gomer son of Japheth, had first settled in Comera (now Italy) in the 10th year of Nimrod following the dispersion of peoples. In addition, Tuiscon, whom Pseudo-Berossus calls the fourth son of Noah, and says ruled first in Germany/Scythia, was identified by later historians (e.g. Johannes Aventinus) as none other than Ashkenaz, Gomer’s son. ”
Biblical Ashkenaz is usually derived from Assyrian Aškūza (cuneiform Aškuzai/Iškuzai)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythians#Descent_claims
“A number of groups have claimed possible descent from the Scythians, including the Ossetians.[19] Some legends of the Poles,[71] the Picts, the Gaels, the Hungarians (in particular, the Jassics), among others, also include mention of Scythian origins. Some writers claim that Scythians figured in the formation of the empire of the Medes and likewise of Caucasian Albania.”
“The Scythians also feature in some national origin-legends of the Celts. In the second paragraph of the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath, the élite of Scotland claim Scythia as a former homeland of the Scots. According to the 11th-century Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Taking of Ireland), the 14th-century Auraicept na n-Éces and other Irish folklore, the Irish originated in Scythia and were descendants of Fénius Farsaid, a Scythian prince who created the Ogham alphabet.
The Carolingian kings of the Franks traced Merovingian ancestry to the Germanic tribe of the Sicambri. Gregory of Tours documents in his History of the Franks that when Clovis was baptised, he was referred to as a Sicamber with the words “Mitis depone colla, Sicamber, adora quod incendisti, incendi quod adorasti.” The Chronicle of Fredegar in turn reveals that the Franks believed the Sicambri to be a tribe of Scythian or Cimmerian descent, who had changed their name to Franks in honour of their chieftain Franco in 11 BC. ”
Finally, see the bee/fly symbols on Scythian jewelry.
Look at the object on the right, center below the human figure:
And here, also center:
There is a book I came across awhile ago, written in the 19th or early 20th century, which was a conspiracy/revisionist book claiming the Scots were actually Scythians, and that the Ashkenazi Jews and the current Sachs clan are descended from them. It read like mis-direction at the time, but now I’m curious to read it. I couldn’t find it the other day searching for it, but if anyone has a link I would appreciate it.

Guys, please be careful with the Twelve Tribes. I personally believe they’re utter hogwash. I already showed you that most of the 12 names are obvious puns about finance & power.
But that’s not all. Most of spook numerology is also puns.
Ten means wealth. It’s even related, through tithing.
ˁšr עשר = fortune, riches, wealth
ˁšr עשר = ten
Two means disguise. It’s also related, through doubling & imitation.
šnh שנה = alter, change, double, duplicate, disguise, pervert
šny שני = two
And tribe really means scepter. It’s the same entry even.
šbṭ שבט = rod, staff, club, scepter, tribe
So the ten-and-two tribes are really the scepter of hidden wealth. Why do you think the European Union is symbolized by 12 stars?

Since you brushed up against it a couple of times above, I thought I’d bring the Aryans into the conversation. The mainstream admits that’s where Iran gets its name, but they do not do so for Ireland. I think we can see the connection just from the information you mentioned above: Ireland <- Scythians <- Iran <- Aryans. Note that the Aran Islands lie at the mouth of Galway Bay.
So who were these Aryans? Good question. and good luck trying to sort fact from fiction on its wiki page. (Although I did notice that according to Blavatsky: “The Semites were a subdivision of the Aryan root race.” Haha!) All that we good slaves know is that as soon as someone speaks the very word we are to turn our heads and spit on the ground.

Furthermore, per the page on the Shakya dynasty, they were vassals of the larger Kingdom of Kosala.
Kosala was the ancient kingdom founded by the semi-mythical Ikshvaku or Solar dynasty.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_dynasty
The primogenitor of this dynasty is alleged to be the sun god Suyra, or Vivasvan and his son Vaivasvata Manu, who was the king of Dravida, and just like Noah, was warned of the Great Flood and built an ark.
“In Vishnu Purana, Vaivasvata, also known as Sraddhadeva or Satyavrata, was the king of Dravida before the great flood.[3] He was warned of the flood by the Matsya (fish) avatar of Vishnu, and built a boat that carried the Vedas, Manu’s family and the seven sages to safety, helped by Matsya. The myth is repeated with variations in other texts, including the Mahabharata and a few other Puranas.

https://archive.org/stream/deadlier-than-the-h-bomb-leonard-young/deadlier-than-the-h-bomb-leonard-young_djvu.txt
Excerpt from chapter 2, p.12;
The teaching in the synagogue incited the Jews to a thorough exploitation of
their Gentile neighbours and the doctrine was eventually embodied in a book,
called the Shulchan Aruk. A few quotations will suffice to show its character:
‘When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches another Jew may go to the same
Gentile, lend him money and, in his turn, deceive him so that the Gentile shall
be ruined. For the property of a Gentile (according to our law) belongs to no
one, and the first Jew that passes has the full right to seize it.’
‘When a Jew makes a deal with a Gentile and another Jew comes up and
deceives the Gentile no matter in what manner, whether he give him false
measure or overcharge him, then both Jews must share between them the profits
thus sent by Jehovah.”
‘Although it is not a direct obligation for a Jew to kill a Gentile with whom
he lives in peace yet, in no case is he allowed to save a Gentile’s life.’
‘It is always a meritorious deed to get hold of a Gentile’s possessions.’
‘Marriages taking place among Gentiles have no binding strength,
i.e., their cohabitation is just as the coupling of horses therefore their children
do not stand as humanly related to their parents.’

Sunshine, I was not raised religious and learned some but not a lot about Judaism. My feeling is that the families are not very religious either, so I don’t think we’re likely to learn much by trying to figure out what kind of religious laws are followed by religious Jews.
Having said that, some of the statements you repeated did not ring true to me, despite my limited knowledge. So I looked up the issue of stealing from gentiles and not saving the life of a gentile. I found that neither of them seem to be true.

I didn’t reply to Matt simply because I don’t really know what to make of the Kol Nidre. I don’t think the ruling Jews believe in God or faith or have any religious belief — at least none that I would recognize as Jewish. So I don’t see why they’d need to recite this loophole every year.
The first I heard of the Kol Nidre was a couple of years ago reading on conspiracy websites and hearing that that the Jews have a special prayer they say on Yom Kippur that makes all vows and promises for the coming year null and void. “Really?” I thought. “They do? How come I never heard about that?”
As I’ve said I was not brought up in a very religious household. My parents were reform (though my mom had been brought up orthodox), and we only went to the synagogue on Rosh Hashanah and/or Yom Kippur. The number of people attending those services swelled so much at those times that our synagogue actually rented out a church for those services. For a number of years I did go to ‘Sunday school’ which was some kind of religious education but since we were reform it didn’t amount to much. Hebrew school the same — nobody was interested so it was just learning a few vocabulary words, the Hebrew alphabet, and then kinda sorta how to read words as long as they had vowel markings. It was enough to get ready for a Bar Mitzvah, which I did have. I read the Torah portion without understanding the words I was reading. I mean, I had read the English translation of it, of course, but could not have really told you which words meant what. It was rote memorization. After that I pretty never went back. A year later I became agnostic.
Was the Kol Nidre a special part of our Yom Kippur service? It might have been. We never went to the evening service anyway, so I wouldn’t know. That may be why I never read it or learned about it. But even if I had recited it, it’s not clear that it would have had any meaning for me. By that I mean, the way prayers were written in the prayer books was you’d have Hebrew (or in this case Aramaic) on one side, a transliteration on the other (so you could read along even if you didn’t know the Hebrew, which most people there didn’t), and then lower on the page a translation. If you didn’t bother to read the translation, you wouldn’t even know what you’re saying.
My understanding of Yom Kippur was that is is a day of atonement. The days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are for recalling and contemplating your transgressions, presumably breaking Judaic law but for us it was just doing wrong in general. Also to ask people you’ve sinned against for forgiveness. Yom Kippur is a day to ask God to forgive you. A bit like Catholic confession, since you presumably get to start from scratch at that point. That is the extent of my understanding of the whole thing.
I agree that the text of the Kol Nidre is extremely suspect. In my experience no Jewish person I’ve ever met had an understanding that you could then break promises with impunity just because you had recited the Kol Nidre during Yom Kippur services. That doesn’t mean they would never lie, mind you. But most of the Jews I knew grewing up were honorable and well-intentioned. I would not say the same about my experience living in Israel. I will ask my brother-in-law about the kol nidre. He became Orthodox religious a few years ago–I will report back if he has a different opinion.
I also agree that the meaning attributed to Kol Nidre on the ‘My Jewish Learning’ site makes no sense. Same for some other sites I looked at. Here is a site that talks about the historical genesis of the Kol Nidre. I won’t go into too much detail, but one takeaway is that the Kol Nidre was not part of Judaism from the beginning and that it was for a long time controversial. Another is that the law came about because people were all the time swearing oaths to God but then not following through on them (like New Year’s resolutions). But since breaking a sworn oath to God was taken very seriously, they had a problem where people were doing it a lot (kind of like breaking New Year’s resolutions). So they came up with a loophole. Another site I found said that the prayer is often printed with a footnote explaining that it doesn’t mean what it seems to mean. Either it is only oaths you make to yourself with God as your witness (I swear I’m going to stop smoking, God), but not to other people. Or, it doesn’t apply if you make a promise not intending to keep it.
I don’t want to sound like an apologist. I just think its significance is exaggerated, if only because, as I said, I don’t think the Jews running the world are bound by belief in God, so I don’t see why they’d need the Kol Nidre, and for believers I think the literal significance of the words is not the significance it has to them. But maybe back when the Kol Nidre was written things were different. I don’t know.
Here are some links I found that seem a bit more illuminating than My Jewish Learning:

Oddly, Rosh Hashanah also means “hidden leader”, in addition to the meaning “start of the year”. Rosh means “head”, which also means “start” & “boss” in most languages. Shanah for “year” is derived from a “repeating” cycle, and that from “doubling”, and that also means “imitation” & “disguise”.
rˀš ראש = head, first, top, leader, master, captain, chief
šnh שנה = year
šnh שנה = second, repeat
šnh שנה = alter, change, double, duplicate, disguise, pervert
My guess is the laws are still somehow about the year, and they just like words that pun with “hidden leader”?

Yom Kippur could also mean “vow of secrecy” or something. It’s the KPR root from Samson’s riddle, the 1st solution being “words of atonement”. My impression is that they have commoners live the literal meaning of these laws & practices, while the spooks live the encoded meaning.

“Historically, this accusation was leveled so often and so persistently that many non-Jewish legislators considered it necessary to have a special form of oath administered to Jews (“Oath More Judaico”), and many judges refused to allow them to take a supplementary oath, basing their objections chiefly on this prayer. As early as 1240 in the Disputation of Paris, Yechiel of Paris was obliged to defend Kol Nidrei against these charges.[3] The Russian government, in 1857, decreed that the prayerbooks must include, as an introduction to Kol Nidrei, a Hebrew explanation to the readers of the limited nature of the vows that could be released by this ceremony.[68]”

Christians had viewed the Jews as the followers of the Old Testament who honored the law of Moses and the prophets, but the alleged “blasphemies” included among the Talmudic texts indicated that Jewish understandings of the Old Testament differed from the Christian understanding.[17] Louis IX stated that only skilled clerics could conduct a disputation with Jews, but that laymen should plunge a sword into those who speak ill of the Christ.[18][19]”
Apparently you needed to be a ‘skilled cleric’, or have special access, to debate with the rabbis? The Paris ‘Disputation’ wasn’t the only one during the Medieval ages either.
Nicholas Donin’s page reads like this was some sort of spook operation. Like who exactly is this Donin from a Paris ghetto, who also gets special access to the Pope?
I’m reminded of the ‘blood libel’ accusations made throughout the centuries. Perhaps they were like the “Pizzagates” of their time aka misdirection. IMHO, this pitting of common Jews vs. Christians (and Muslims) in endless (and profitable) conflict for the spoops goes back to the time of the Bar-Kokhba revolt, perhaps earlier.
“The Bar Kokhba revolt greatly influenced the course of Jewish history and the philosophy of the Jewish religion. Despite easing the persecution of Jews following Hadrian’s death in 138 CE, the Romans barred Jews from Jerusalem, except for attendance in Tisha B’Av. Jewish messianism was abstracted and spiritualized, and rabbinical political thought became deeply cautious and conservative. The Talmud, for instance, refers to Bar Kokhba as “Ben-Kusiba”, a derogatory term used to indicate that he was a false Messiah. It was also among the key events to differentiate Christianity as a religion distinct from Judaism.[23] Although Jewish Christians regarded Jesus as the Messiah and did not support Bar Kokhba,[24] they were barred from Jerusalem along with the other Jews.[25]”
I might need to say the Judaism and Christianity of that time was different than it is today, and so were the people involved, but still fodder for some future research.

@Josh: I had figured out Aces & Eights (I think), but since you asked about the twelve, I’ve looked into the others again.
One puns with Jew & leader, though only in a Y-prefixed grammatical form meaning “singular” & “united”. That’s why the crisis actors are giving us the single finger all the time.
yḥyd יחיד = only, only one, solitary
yhwdy יהודי = Jew
hdwy הדוי = leader
Eight puns with hidden, though the pun works only with Aramaic spelling & pronunciation.
tmny תמני = eight
ṭmn טמן = hide, conceal, hidden
So the Aces & Eights would just be our “hidden leaders”, once again. Yawn.
But I’m not so sure about the other numbers.
Four puns with mixed multitudes, which may mean us commoners.
ˀrbˁ ארבע = four
ˁrbyˁy ערביעי = fourth
ˁrb ערב = mingled people, mixed multitude
ˁrb ערב = mix, blend, intermingle, intermarry
Seven may pun with coloring & dyeing. Out of context, not a great pun, but it could mean “simulating”, a term which was otherwise not explicitly used in ancient times, when you just “did” things.
šbˁ שבע = seven
ṣbˁ צבע = to color, dye, launder, baptize
So, just judging from Miles’ finding that many top spooks are “born” at dates with 47, it could mean that they are “painted as commoners”. It’s not a very great pun, but we’ve seen even worse with the spooks. Both “four” and “seven” have many othe homonyms and near-homonyms.
Thirty-three is the toughest nut. It may pun with fake terror or just fake theater. However, this works only in Aramaic, plus most dictionaries don’t even have those entries. It’s possible that the plural of 30 is needed to get the M for MTL מתל, which is the modern word for “theater”, and that’s why it must be 33 and not 3. Not sure here, suggestions appreciated.
tlt תלת = three
tltl תלתל = to deride
tlt תלת = to frighten
mtl מתל = compare to, be made like, represent symbolically
mtwlwt מתולות = theater, show, play, performance (modern language)

Does 137 rhyme with anything amharic? α is the lucky number of theoretical physicists of course…
“Pauli famously quipped, “When I die my first question to the Devil will be: What is the meaning of the fine structure constant?” Unfortunately Pauli died without accomplishing his goal in the Red Cross Hospital of Zurich in Room 137—and he was aware of that synchronistic irony before he died.
The great psychotherapist Carl Jung helped Pauli in his quest to find a mathematical basis for the fine structure constant by interpreting more than 400 of Pauli’s dreams, published in Jung’s Psychology and Alchemy. Jung believed that Pauli unconsciously comprehended “some grand cosmic order.” Arthur Miller wrote a book about their collaboration entitled, 137: Jung, Pauli, and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession.
The brilliant Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman had this to say about the fine structure constant:
“It has been a mystery ever since it was discovered more than fifty years ago, and all good theoretical physicists put this number up on their wall and worry about it. Immediately you would like to know where this number for a coupling comes from: is it related to π or perhaps to the base of natural logarithms [known as e]? Nobody knows. It’s one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by man. You might say the ‘hand of God’ wrote that number, and ‘we don’t know how He pushed his pencil.’ We know what kind of a dance to do experimentally to measure this number very accurately, but we don’t know what kind of dance to do on the computer to make this number come out, without putting it in secretly!” -Richard Feynman QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter (1985)”

Hah! I think I got a better idea for the thirty-three, and it’s a major spook theme I haven’t been able to find in the punnery until now: fake death! Both “thirty” and “threes” would be pronounced שלושים šlwšym in Hebrew. And that is written exactly like the phrase שלו-שים šlw-šym, which means “set up corpse”.
šlwšym שלושים = thirty
šlw שלו = corpse
šym שים = put, placed, set up, assigned, disguised, expected, look, make, painted, performed, show, substitute
Here the homography is perfect, but the words are a bit unspecific. Something that’s “put up” is not always a deception, and שלו šlw simply means “quiet” and is probably an abbreviation for גופה-שלו gwph-šlw meaning “quiet body”. Still, since the letters match so well, so I think it’s the better lead.

Throughout series 5 there are lots of references to Russian Jews and rich Jews marrying into British aristocracy. The parents of Lady Cora wife of Lord Grantham are said to be Jewish and there are several other references to family members having Jewish origins. So it’s been full of unexpected bonuses, catching all these references and linking them to Miles & Co’s papers. I mean, the writers could have easily hidden these connections…in fact…it’s almost as if they are gloating about the British aristocracy’s heritage being infiltrated by rich Jews.
I suppose the whole series could have been written with the sole purpose of propagandising the holocaust for a young, modern audience. But the whole exercise will serve one purpose for me, and that is, one way or another, confirming what I already know. They have been accurate and truthful so far. So lets wait and see how far they are willing to stick their necks out…..maybe the series will stop short of that sensitive area….who knows….no spoilers!
I don’t usually watch anything like Downton, but I certainly recommend it, especially for anyone who likes a period drama. I love watching Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville so I guess it was only a matter of time until I gave it a go.

I actually really enjoyed that show. It was very humorous in parts as well, with a British humor that is rather difficult to pull off in my opinion. It’s not like Monty Python or Red Dwarf obviously, but just some really highbrow laughs. And cries. And it’s very well-written and acted across the board.
Some artistry still exists in this world. It’s not hard to find, if you keep your eyes peeled! 🙂

I watched Downton but it always seems a PC version of Upstairs Downstairs, a classic in comparison.
There was a documentary on the BBC some time since about real servants from that era and I remember one posh numpty say the only thing she recalled vividly about those times was that the servants were smelly and dirty. The ‘experts’ for the period said servants were oft beaten by their masters, even in the 1920s, and the servants werent allowed to look at their employers and had to face the wall if they were walking down the same corridor!

It’s certainly been written with a modern audience in mind Lewis.
I think the characters and cast choices were better nailed down than in Upstairs Downstairs.
I lost interest quickly with that drama because it always seemed like you were watching ‘opening night’, the acting lacking credulity somehow.
Casting a Scot to play a Scot is always a good place to start but then asking that Scot to characterise a voice for the part often leads to failure. Gordon Jackson being a prime example. David Robb was a perfect choice for the Downton Doctor in my opinion. His part was utterly believable. It’s often better to stick with your own voice and concentrate on characteristics and body language and delivering your lines succinctly, than it is to fail miserably trying to remember how to create a fake voice series after series. Did you notice how Mary’s diction altered as time went on? No particular reason was apparent, but that characteristic vocal drone/drawl was lost and she developed an almost monarch-like plum-in-the-mouth voice more characteristic of Claire Foy in The Crown. Mary’s original voice was wonderful. If you listen carefully, both Cora and Edith picked up on that subtle drone and I believe unconsciously incorporated it into their own characters. If it was deliberate then it was very clever, and they deserve praise for delivering such accuracy.
Yes, I admit it, I watched The Crown. Claire Foy was superb, nay delicious, but there was something lacking in the support. Big names don’t necessarily make it work, but very careful cast selection can turn a good drama into a great drama. For an example Javier Bardem as Salazar in Dead Men Tell No Tails.
A truly spine tingling performance.

I just remembered this is the spooky thread, so getting back on topic (sorry Josh).
I wonder how many of the staff were spies Lewis, it being so easy for staff to spy on the family members? Lots of them were shown using loitering tactics to overhear conversations and witness dubious acts, which the staff then used, mainly, against each other to gain a position of power over their colleagues. But occasionally they would show a member of staff trying to blackmail a family member. The maid ‘Bevan, who tried to blackmail Mary after she witnessed her goings-on with Lord Gillingham. I would have thought someone snaring a high ranking family member in that way would disappear one foggy night!
I feel a bit of a study coming on. I’m wondering what the differences were between the English, Irish and Scottish aristocracy, you know, the finer details like staff pecking-orders and such like? Family member attitude toward staff etc.

In real life, the servants would have been too busy to do all that snooping unless they were actual agents. They worked very long hours in those times and only had half a day off a week. The upper classes had a disdain for the lower orders similar to Wellington’s attitude toward his own troops, Downton is blatant whitewashing of the elite.

I agree that it’s whitewashing of the elite, but some of the actors are really good – the servants, I should say. They aren’t acting elite at all, they are just acting like downtrodden, raped, mishandled people. I don’t find that to be an easy one to pull off – to express pain like the one lady does, so well and deeply. I don’t find the expression of pain easy to do, myself. It’s pretty hard to fabricate without some personal insight into the topic, you know?
I mean the Family in the show, they don’t really even have to act at all. I’m with you there, but those weren’t the actors I was thinking of that stood out. Though I do love the old dowager’s humor.

@Russell Taylor: I came across this page last week:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Rebellion_of_1641
This is one of the best pages I found out-lining the ‘hierarchy ‘you are talking about, at least when it comes to the British Isles. You get a feel for about 1000 years of Spook vs. Spook conflict here and related pages.
“The roots of the 1641 rebellion lay in the failure of the English State in Ireland to assimilate the native Irish elite in the wake of the Elizabethan conquest and plantation of the country. The pre-Elizabethan Irish population is usually divided into the “Old (or Gaelic) Irish”, and the Old English, or descendants of medieval Norman settlers. [so not native Irish either] These groups were historically antagonistic, with English settled areas such as the Pale around Dublin, south Wexford, and other walled towns being fortified against the rural Gaelic clans.[1]
By the seventeenth century, the cultural divide between these groups, especially at elite social levels, was declining. Many Old English lords not only spoke the Irish language, but extensively patronised Irish poetry and music, and have been described as Hiberniores Hibernis ipsis (“More Irish than the Irish themselves”). Intermarriage was also common. Moreover, in the wake of the Elizabethan conquest, the native population became defined by their shared religion, Roman Catholicism, in distinction to the new Church of England and Church of Scotland of settlers, and the officially Protestant (Church of Ireland) English administration in Ireland. During the decades between the end of the Elizabethan wars of re-conquest in 1603 and the outbreak of rebellion in 1641, the political position of the wealthier landed Irish Catholics was increasingly threatened by the English government of Ireland.[2] “

The Maunder Minimum started roughly 1640 after a cooling trend over the previous 20 years. So it looks to me like good timing, causing massive unrest followed by political, religious and land ownership changes, just in time for the next dark period of starvation and disease induced death (population control to conserve food for the aristocracy?). Temperatures were falling rapidly and crops were failing by around 1630 then there was a further dump in temperature right around 1640.
The Irish Rebellion was right at the very start of the Maunder Minimum which continued for roughly 70 years.
“The summer of 1641 was the third coldest recorded over the past six centuries in Europe and the winter of 1641–1642 was the coldest ever recorded in Scandinavia.”
“The Maunder Minimum did not cause all the catastrophes alone during the 17th century, but it most certainly exacerbated many of them. Outbreaks of disease, especially smallpox and plague, erupted as was the case during the previous episode that saw the Black Plague wipe out 50% of the population. Plagues correlate to periods when harvests are poor or have failed. When an uprising by Irish Catholics on October 23, 1641, drove the Protestant minority from their homes, no one had foreseen a severe cold snap with heavy frost and snow in a place that rarely has snow. Thousands of Protestants died of exposure, turning a political protest into a massacre that cried out for vengeance. Oliver Cromwell would later use that episode to justify his brutal campaign to restore Protestant supremacy in Ireland. This was the period of the British Civil War with the Puritans beheading Catholic King Charles I.”

Of course, you are right, i go straight on to my way of thinking. I should explain with more details.
I mean that we made a mistake by believing the « Une » of the Economist and that we should understand it differently.
1) The famous Economist belongs to Rothschilds (100%). 1rst clue.
2) In 1988, it announced the arrival of a single world currency called Phoenix. I’m french, i need to translate « currency » to be sure of what it means. The google translator give me currency = « devise » and also gives me another sens : motto https://translate.google.com/?hl=fr#view=home&op=translate&sl=en&tl=fr&text=currency
3) I don’t know what is a « motto », so i translated « devise » from french to english. https://translate.google.com/?hl=fr#view=home&op=translate&sl=fr&tl=en&text=devise
4) Then, i learned that the french « devise » has 2 senses in english : currency and motto and that « motto » has also 2 senses : currency and joke that is « blague » in french.
5) At this moment, i feel that we were misunderstanding the message by taking it to the 1st degree. That it must have, as usual, a hidden sens… but which one ?
6) Some days later, i was speaking about I-phone with one friend who knows perfectly the schedule of the releases of I-Phone. He told me that there was no I-phone 9, the I-phone X being released in 2017… and i realized that Apple jump from 8 to 10 in the numbering of I-phones.
7) As i made the Mathis School, i say : »oh, ace and eight » and i notice that it was not 10, it was the latin number « X »… and that this strange new I-phone arrived one year before the alleged world currency.
8) Then, i questionned : why X and not 10 ? my iphone isn’t an i-phone IV, it’s an i-phone 4.
9) Then i made 1 + 1… i-phone X is anagram of phoenix, a perfect anagram… 🙂
10) It was the proof that the announced « currency » was not about money, but about the world control by the smart phones.
11) But as the smart phones and the subscriptions cost one arm, i realized that our dear leaders made double blow : we are volonteers to spend our money to buy a tool that allowed to control us, our mind, our time, our lives. No need to a single world currency that will call to revolt, as would single world religion, single world government., etc.
12) No, at the place, we buy smart phones, I-phone X, ( and here, i use the phonetic, as i like to do : hi phoenix, high phoenix).
It was what i wanted to share with you.
Do you really think it is nonsensical babbling ?
Tell me where i got wrong ? i will accept if i made a mistake.

Thanks for the explanation, Mantalo. I think the iPhone X as a kind of Phoenix is a neat insight. As I said I think your exercises in free association sometimes lead to good insights. And that would be one. I don’t know that it has anything to do with the Economist prediction. I would have expected them to get the timing right, but who knows? Maybe there’s something to it. Certainly the mainstream explanation for why they skipped the iPhone 9 didn’t make a lick of sense.
Digital payment systems are becoming extremely popular. They serve(d) as the backbone of China’s Orwellian social credit system. They are not dependent on the iphone, obviously, nor are they universal. But they’re off to an incredible start and are catching on like wildfire.
The part that sounded like nonsense was the apparent mistranslation of various words. Of course you didn’t really say they were translations, so it was a bunch of unintelligible equalities between things that don’t seem to be remotely related. Thanks for taking the time to break it down. It seems to me that google translate led you astray on this one, though, as Benjamin pointed out.
I apologize if I offended you. I wish this could be a totally free and open forum for expressing whatever we want. But unfortunately the reality of the situation is such that we must be constantly on guard for people coming here trying to gum up the works, in one way or another. To give a few examples, it could be by leading us down fruitless rabbit holes, distracting us with endless debates that never go anywhere, or simply posting nonsense to make us all look bad and blackwash intelligent commentary. So while I could see some value in what you wrote about the iphone, the rest of it…well, not so much.

From the Wiki on Motorola DynaTAC – the first commercially available cell phone series (1983 – 1994):
“The first cellular phone was the culmination of efforts begun at Bell Labs, which first proposed the idea of a cellular system in 1947, and continued to petition the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for channels through the 1950s and 1960s, and research conducted at Motorola.”
So, here’s our timeline:
1947 – first proposal for a cellular system
1983 – first commercially available cell phone
1988 – The Economist announces a future world currency 30 years from now
2017 – iPhone X released (November 3)
30 years from The Economist’s publication date, January 9, 1988, is January 9, 2018. The iPhone X released 67 days prior to January 9, 2018.

After reading through the historical research of Miles and others, has the question ever occurred to you why there is such a close association between the Phoenicians and textiles? They have become almost synonymous and a near certain marker. Okay, the banking angle we get, but is the textile angle mere happenstance? E. Michael Jones was interviewed on Red Ice Radio (“The Religion of Greta Thunberg” 10/23/1029, see link below). He was commenting on the lack of development in East Africa, and backed into the answer (timecode 45:50):
“Clothing, cloth is the basis for every economy that ever developed in the world. It was the basis for Florence moving into a money economy. It was the basis for Germany in the 16th Century, England in the 18th Century, America in the 19th Century, and China and Japan in the 20th Century. You can’t get development without producing basic things like cloth. Cloth is the main engine driving development here. So what happened here? The politicians in East Africa woke up to the fact, they banned the importation of used clothing. Good, that’s a good idea, that a good use of tariffs. That exactly what the United States and Germany did in the 19th Century to keep out cheap English cotton. What happened then? The Jewish rag pickers in New Jersey complained to the Treasury Department, and Mr. Mnuchin, he then threatened them with sanctions, economic sanctions, and all of the East African countries except Rwanda backed down.”
Bonus: If you’re wondering why Rwanda was the exception, that country has been wholly owned by Intel and their pet dictator/monster Paul Kagame since the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi by the Hutu. Except—surprise!—it was the Tutsi genociding the Hutu and also the moderate Tutsi who might have objected to such a thing. About the only piece of evidence you’ll need to show this is that Kagame, in power since the genocide (and probably forever after the 2015 referendum where 98% of the electorate voted to exempt him from term limits) is himself a Tutsi.
Double bonus: Paul Rusesabagina, the hero of the movie “Hotel Rwanda” as portrayed by Don Cheadle and set during the time of the genocide, has since fled the country and has described it as a “big open prison” and that, “There is no free man in that country.” Lest you think he’s simply a tribalist, Rusesabagina’s father is Hutu and his mother and wife are Tutsi. I suspect his fall from grace rather has something to do with his failure to refrain from going around saying inconvenient truths aloud.

Indeed, it was a nice post and definitely informative. I disagree with a couple technical things but that’s honestly likely just my bias towards AMD, which should be purely for financial reasons but it is what it is. He’s not wrong, but in the case of AMD only a few of their CPUs have the little ARM coprocessor and it’s not nearly the same thing as Intel’s obvious spooky shit. It may SEEM similar, and spooky, but it’s not AS spooky.
But the truth is these 7-nanometer chips are so fucking tiny there’s no real way to know what is or isn’t on them, without a serious microscope. So my AMD “fanboy” status isn’t really helpful here and proves nothing. Vex is correct. These devices are made with backdoors aplenty, especially modern cell phones.

I’d be glad to learn new things and consequently update my post. Can you post these tech issues and further reply at my blog, please?
You say only a few AMD CPUs have ARM processor in-built. Specifically, it’s Cortex-A5 we’re talking about here and according to AMD news section I won’t link to here, they’ve been in cohorts and onboard with Cortex-A5 ever since 2014, announcing such move as early as in 2012. So only AMD CPUs older than 2014 exist possibly without any onboard co-processor. They call this CPU as “upgrade”, naming it APU – Advanced Processing Unit, which has its “Trustzone” powered by Cortex-A5 -> in simple words, AMD has both CPU and second CPU packed as APU. You can find these in mobiles, XBox and PS4 for instance, as well as on business servers and home PCs with brand name Radeon (raid on?). Not as spooky? Well, consider this: AMD’s equivalent to Intel’s ME is so-called Trustzone, developed by Trustonic Inc. It runs powered by ARM Cortex-A5 and is attached to AMD’s CPU. While there are some details known about mechanism of Intel’s ME, there’re absolutely no details known about Trustzone. That’s right, nothing. Based only on this, I think there’s an obvious winner here in terms of spookiness and it isn’t Intel, my friend.

That’s the thing, Vex: only AMD CPUs (Central Processing Unit) with the built-in AMD Radeon GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) classify as APUs (Advanced Processor Units) at all. Regular, standalone-CPUs (such as all the Bulldozer/Piledriver and newer Zen cores are) don’t have GPUs and are not APUs. They aren’t Systems-on-a-Chip, they are just the main chip. You HAVE to add in a separate graphics card to even see them start up at all.
So for example, I have one single A8 4-core APU in my old TV-PC. For layfolk, that’s a 4-core CPU coupled with a built-in Radeon GPU chip for the graphics, which in this case has been disabled and replaced by an Nvidia GTX-750TI anyway. It’s been defunct and down for quite awhile, and I built it too look like a Home Theater receiver. It was only intended to play movies/shows and light games on this old plasma TV which is beautiful. See the little tiny silver guy at the bottom of my TV stand, next to the battery backup?
So the ARM interconnect chip was effectively disabled the whole time I used that computer, anyway.
On the left (big gunmetal gray box) we have an 8-core (42) Bulldozer FX-8120 and on the right (smaller, gamer-looking black box) another 8-core (42) Piledriver FX-8350 – which is the one I’m using here at home primarily, though both are always on for network rendering. These are both older models but they run great. These are NOT APUs. They do NOT have any embedded ARM sub/coprocessor. These are FX cores and not the much newer, more powerful and efficient Zen cores from the last three years – which puts us at before 2016. The ‘Dozer is from like 2014 if I recall.
And while a sub/coprocessor might SEEM fishy and spooky, we have no reason at all to believe these ARM chips have access to anything flowing through the actual CPU/memory at all, since those ARM chips were built as interconnects between the CPU/GPU combo that makes up the “APU”. They aren’t the same monster as the Intel-ME situation – not necessarily.
So while we are wise to distrust things, you really only have two choices and AMD is by far the better, cheaper, more powerful, and more efficient choice. Macs don’t have this option – they are Intel-only and every Mac was always compromised, ever. AMD chips are better, cleaner, and more powerful once again (though it’s not always been the case) with their new Zen architecture. ARM isn’t even a player at this level. They never have been and likely never will. ARM isn’t a chip manufacturer anyway, they only license DESIGNS to others to build, such as Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, and Huawei. It’s not the same thing.
A single core of ARM’s best chip is still roughly 1/64th as powerful as a single Zen core, Intel core, or about 1/16th of a Radeon/Nvidia core for graphics. They’re intended for low-power mobile use and are very weak in comparison. So I don’t really find AMD using a cheap ARM-chip controller in some of their chips to really be much of a threat at all. The main CPU could just do that anyway using like 1/512th its capacity and never even registering in Taskman. AMD likely jammed a few of those ARM controller chips into their cheapest line (the APUs are literally their cheapest chips) just to save some manufacturing costs on those.
And all THAT was before the Infinity Fabric interconnects that the Zen cores are using now, which are vastly superior to their older, copper interconnects. Germanium is a very potent material and has not only great conductivity but switches very rapidly too. It’s an amazing atom.

According to the Libreboot FAQ, co-processor is built into anything Family 16h and newer (released mid-2013). Theoretically, that means Jaguar, Puma, Zen and beyond according to the Wikipedia’s “List of AMD microprocessors” page, but the Wikipedia “Puma” (microarchitecture) page claims that “Support for ARM TrustZone via integrated Cortex-A5 processor” in the “Improvements over Jaguar” list, so I’m not sure whether it was in the earliest Family 16h chips. Which also means that Zen family IS compromised with the ARM chip.
I don’t know and couldn’t find sources about what models of older family’s CPU’s have Cortex-A5 onboard. Bulldozer was launched in 2012 if I remember correctly, so it may actually lack Cortex-A5.

Reading about how the ancients could unseal letters and re-seal without noticeable tampering, uh, sealed the deal for me.

“You are your ID” said the TSA posters at the airport.
But we/our kids will need to learn how to adapt to this new 24-7 tracking future-world.

Standing at the airport security theater line forever while TSA ‘Pre-checks” got through the line faster sure made me feel that way.

Alright, I did a bit more research to verify things in this subthread.
First, R_T it was actually Alan Ackles I figured out that we’d had an email discussion about this topic quite some time ago, back in October of 2018. We went into great detail on the topic, which is how I was confident addressing Vexman’s analysis here at all.
Second, @Vexman I definitely AM biased, but not a paid shill or whatever. I just actually believe the AMD chips to be superior at this point, based on how they perform VS the cost for that performance. BUT! And this is a big one, I don’t really belive AMD is any better or less spooky than Intel. I’m positive they’re both owned by the same Tyrant family assholes we’ve been uncovering (or, for me, watching along as you guys uncover) the whole time.
So my premise here would be:
A) ARM isn’t a chip manufacturer – they only license cheap, efficient designs to OTHER players such as Apple, Cortex, Samsung, etc.
B) The ARM co-processor in-question is nowhere to be found on AMD’s big-dog chips, from Bulldozer on forward to now, the Ryzen 3 architecture. Here’s a very detailed explanation:
https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/microarchitectures/zen
Now we can take THAT with a grain of salt, but the point is these Zen-3 chips are already smaller at 7nm than the ARM chip that was in use on certain ones as the co-processor/backdoor in question. So it can’t exactly hide – it was way bigger. Especially on the 4-core Ryzen chips – it would have been BIGGER than any of those 4 cores. There’s really nowhere TO hide it.
Even when we go up the line to their (amazingly powerful) 32-core chips, we really don’t have any room ON the die for the ARM co-processor. It’s over twice as large as the Zen cores here at 7nm.
C) That ARM co-processor in question is so laughably inferior to these shiny new Zen3 cores that it would be absolutely superflous. ARM chips are, by design, low-budget, low-power-consumption, weak-ass chips meant for cell phones and whatnot – and even ONE Zen core is more powerful than any single or multi-core ARM Cortex CPU core. Quick math puts one Zen core at about 6 ARM Cortex cores of the same era, in general – if not 8 ARM cores.
So my premise would be the ARM cores would be superflous, they can’t fit on the chip anyway, and if anyone wanted/needed a backdoor it would already BE there in the form of an actual, regular Zen core. This doesn’t give AMD a pass – all I’m saying is ARM is not really a factor here and it would cost MORE to make the chips to even use their shitty, shoddy chip designs here. And yet the AMD chips undercut Intel chips at every level. So they can’t really cost more to make and still do so at a profit, which gives us another reason ARM isn’t involved here. That angle is simply unnecessary in my opinion.
If the spoops want to spy, they don’t even need shit happening at the CPU level – they just go through Windows or iOS or Android or whatever anyway – since all these Operating Systems are owned by them in the first place.
I completely agree that all our hardware is potentially and easily compromised. Absolutely, Vex. I just wanted to clarify the technical side of it because I’m a nerd.

We might disagree on Zen family chips. According to everything written at the link you provided, https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/microarchitectures/zen#Security , Cortex-A5 is incorporated “into their server-class Zen processors (e.g., EPYC)”.
Here’s a slide from another link, showing the position of co-processor within the Zen SoC:
From another source (https://tinyurl.com/yaezh5vc), written in June 2017:
“For years AMD’s processors for business PCs supported additional security technologies (collectively known as AMD Secure Processor and Platform Security Processor before that) enabled by the ARM TrustZone platform with the ARM Cortex-A5 core.”
Technically, you don’t need a GPU in addition to a CPU to have SoC. All you need is a small micro-controller instead 🙂 In any case, this micro-controller / co-processor doesn’t have to be any kind of computing monster to perform the tasks it was installed for. It needs to i.e. access some memory slot or HDD data and send it to the mothership. Or just open up a TCP/IP port so somebody can do remotely whatever needs to be done. The essence here is not about the efficiency or computing power of such ARM chip, it’s about the stealth access to anything inside your PC without you noticing it. Even after you have “protected” yourself with tons of firewalls, proxies, encryption, and whatnot.
Anyway, all above is just a technical detail about the hardware. Like you mentioned earlier, they don’t need this kind of exploit to access data on most devices. Modern OSs are already full of exploits and backdoors so any of your data is already exposed to possible abuse. The only safe solutions are not connecting outwards or even better – not storing / saving digitally anything important at all.
A short personal experience with Windows 7: During 2007/8 I used to play a video game that required connecting to some servers to join it. I didn’t care about disconnecting after I finished. Some time passed by before I noticed strange activity going on so I took my laptop to my friend who’s a computer geek. We were shocked with what we found in my system: there was a French version of Win7 installed within my Win 7 system, and this newly installed OS took absolute control over my device and documents. I couldn’t move, copy, delete and / or change permissions on any file at all – they digitally disowned me from anything on my laptop. The solution was ugly: I lost quite some content which was not backed-up since the last backup – pictures, business files, projects, etc. It also made me refrain from accessing / joining any online game server ever again. So I take it as a positive experience since it helped me escape from spending countless hours on a video game back then and now. Maybe it was a part of my waking up too. Using all that technology inside a laptop just for fun is really a big waste of resources, besides being dangerous in terms of opening system’s ports to unknown entities.

I sit corrected about the A5 on the Epyc chips, and we can assume I was incorrect on the others since it turns outthe A5 is much smaller than I thought, physically. It’s BUILT on a much larger architecture (24nm-40nm for the older ones) but it’s still smaller than the 7nm Zen chips, because it has nowhere near the transistors. It’s not meant for that, as you said. It’s an MMU “Memory Management Unit” design that is very similar to the ones Intel uses. So, effectively does the same shit.
The single core:
And a quad-core variant:
Contrast this with the diemap you posted and we can see a huge size difference. The A5 is just a tiny cluster surrounded by AMD’s ridiculous Zen setup.

Did you know previously about the MINIX OS? I didn’t and was completely surprised learning about it. But it makes sense in the military / intel angle: the internet is their invention so controlling it was figured long ago. When they chose to release it to the public, free data exchange was offered as a bait and another miracle, while the intention was to know what is exchanged. At the same time, chip building was theirs too. Add to this list operating systems as they were owned by the same stooges since inception. As high-tech progressed, so did the control mechanisms. We have learned elsewhere that they always control the narrative. Also, they always seem to be one (or few) step(s) ahead. Following that logic, it’s very likely to be the same about the internet – it was never about secure anything, that’s only an illusion we chose to believe as true.
If you’re into IT tech, read this pdf, it’s about the way every router ever produced is programmed to “report” to the D.o.D IP via a hidden network. It basically means, D.o.D. has ability to “listen” to anything that comes and/or goes from your home network and access it remotely if needed. It only proves control mechanisms are multi leveled across all devices and platforms in the communication link.

Nothing should be taken at face value, that’s for sure.
Here’s just a short analysis of what your reply means to me. On one hand, I could read that file in the same way you did – skimming though it and then trying to find anticipated red flags. Nothing wrong with that, just to be clear. What may be wrong with such approach, is ignoring the essence of their writing regarding any wifi router out there. Are you willing to ignore the hidden setup of your router no matter what red flag you find? Well, nothing wrong with your choice in this case, but mine was different.
On the other hand, if you didn’t check their claims first, you’re missing the point of their paper, no matter how many red flags you believe you’ve found. The truth in their paper worth following is that your router’s a piece of spying equipment until de-programmed. So I assume you didn’t check your router as per their suggestions. If you did, you’d find it’s true and that fact alone would outshadow all possible red flags.
There are grains of truth in every limited hangout, it only depends whether you find such truths worth following or not. The biggest red flag about this whole document is not some encryption tool linked to in the text. This whole issue about routers being pre-programmed to spy was first mentioned by Snowden. That should make you as suspicious as you can get. But then again, what if it’s true? Don’t you find it important enough to get to the truth about it? Are you willing to ignore your router spying on you just because the wrong kind of guy pointed to it? I don’t get such logic, but I can live with it.
Knowing about MINIX makes all this look like a joke, really. No matter what you may do to hide your tracks, your device has a hardware backdoor into the system you’re using on your device. So no encryption is going to help you hide some piece of information as your encryption key is owned from the start.
“Never trust anything that you didn’t code yourself” . So very true. Start applying this rule first to your router’s firmware 🙂

However I will disagree and say the ‘who’ is the bigger red flag here. Controlled opposition is one of the biggest issues humanity is facing. We can’t get anything real done with these inbred Families and their lackeys constantly fucking everything up and denying real, necessary reform. I prefer focusing on this and some other issues.
What I read are anonymous authors spending 60 pages warning us about NSA backdoors and other things, while simultaneously suggesting a solution that was also created by a high ranking, spook feeder university group and funded by all kinds of Intelligence fronts.(Insert WTF meme here). In other words, our chains are being yanked yet again here. Either ‘The Adversaries’ are really stupid to trust these Stanford mandarins, or this is yet another controlled op (or some other third thing I can’t think of at the moment). I wouldn’t be surprised if the Standford group wrote this document themselves. Also people need to take a good, hard honest look at Linux and all its affiliations. Like hell they would leave any of that alone. They would be terrible spies if they didn’t stick their tentacles in it, right?
On the backdoor issue, I feel the same way I do when I see people trying to out-finance the financiers. All the power to the IT guys out there trying to resist this and all global surveillance tyranny though. I fully support that. However, IMHO It’s a battle of attrition I don’t think we can win. I see a lot of technocrats in the IT world who fully support a global surveillance world. It would also be super hard convincing me any radio/wifi device doesn’t have a backdoor, or be able to create a setup where they can’t intercept your comms somewhere down the line. Or be able to sustain that spook-free setup long-term. Also they may be employing some sort of Stasi trick, where they want to convince everyone they are being spied on all the time.
Going entirely off grid isn’t the answer for a lot of families, even if it may come down to that at some point in the future. I’m not sure what the real answer to this is though, other than to live honest lives and realize that the only people that need to hide are true criminals and spooks. And if people generally were just braver, than those truly needing to hide from tyranny maybe wouldn’t have to do so.

I heard a rumor that some hard drives were being built pre-compromised. There was a bit of stink around 2 years ago that some modems and routers had built in back doors. At that time Huawei equipment was forbidden to be installed in USA government related networks.
We KNOW that the major operating systems were all compromised since this was proven by the vault 7 release of hacking tools. All older versions of operating systems were exposed to hacking tools being sold on the dark net, such that users of Windows XP, 7, 8 & 8.1 were advised to upgrade to W10. Likewise tools in the vault 7 set were provided (sold, via bitcoin transfers) to drive users to adapt to the latest versions of IOS and Android. I believe the vault 7 releases were used, not only to compromise Assange, but also to drive users to newer operating systems.
Looking into open sourced Linux operating systems, I confronted the fact that many drivers had to be provided by the manufacturers and were not open sourced. Besides that, it would not seem to hard for an intelligence agency to infiltrate the staff working on the larger open sourced Linux distributions, or Mozilla, for what it’s worth…
Farther into speculating; I read a rumor that 3G capability had been placed inside some CPU chips in order to provide an exploit for air gapped systems that were kept away from the internet.

Yes, distraction is the most efficient tactics. Mainstreamed vulnerabilities are a theater, made to push security concerns to the users while milking them for protection and forcing them to sign up to SW “security updates”. One of many profitable rackets, no doubt. As 99% of people discuss theirs, loosing time and money while at it, PTB made each and every component in the network compromised on the most basic hardware level. Just to remind you – speaking technically, our computers (and all other electronic devices with an installed microchip aka CPU) are operated by the set of instructions that are given as controls / operators for underlying hardware. How can lay people establish or analyze CPU’s output, its instructions given to the hardware? Answer: we can’t. It requires special equipment we don’t have access to, so we can only notice symptoms if lucky / educated / experienced enough, in terms of unusual network traffic, CPU activity, electricity consumption, noise, heat, etc… Also, keep in mind two important facts: internet is an army invention while computers / CPUs were first developed for and used by the army intelligence. In a perverted way this makes their plan viciously perfect: they control every single digital bit going over the network while we’re paying for being monitored. All this combined suggests we’ve put infinite trust in wrong kind of people, again. It also suggests i.e. that FB driven revolutions (think Egypt’s latest) are a pun made by those in the know. To recap, if you want to keep anything de facto safe or private, don’t keep it in a digital form and don’t discuss it online and/or in front/presence of any kind of electronic device.
As I mention this, I should also mention that I think the latter just described is what led them to globally push the internet and hook us to mobile devices – their biggest fear are people getting organized as we’re waking up to all the mockery going on. Being organized implies we’re exchanging information as we prepare for some action and that makes it their worst nightmare – not knowing what we’re possibly doing to remove them as our rulers. You see, it reminds them of their own millennia-long conspiring against the majority.

These Scovells are likely straight up Phoenicians, and possible descendants of the also crypto-Jewish/Phoenician Severan dynasty. Miles is likely right Dave is being forced to publicly bow to a higher, and very old rank.
I came across all this after looking up the name Sabrina, which according to legend is taken from the Roman name for the Severn river, located in the UK.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabrina_(given_name)
In Sabrina Fair, a Broadway play written by Samuel Taylor, Sabrina Fairchild is the daughter of a chauffeur to the wealthy Larrabee family. Noted.
So looking up the name Scovell in Wiki gives us a short list, presumably all spooks:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scovell
Especially a Mr. George Scovell, a codebreaker during the Napoleonic Wars, who does the hand in the vest thingy seen here:
I’ve been reading on and off again the Historia Augusta for awhile, and earlier this week I was on the chapter for Caracalla. This work is more or less a huge collection of ancient Roman red flags if we’re being serious here, first complied by a Renaissance crypto-Jew Isaac Casaubon, with most of it now considered fraudulent, depending on who you read. Deliberate mystification is how the Wiki describes it, and that’s probably accurate.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Casaubon
“In their book Isaac Casaubon, the Jews, and a Forgotten Chapter in Renaissance Scholarship, Anthony Grafton and Joanna Weinberg show that Casaubon was a Hebrew scholar too, taking serious interest in Jewish studies.
The Jewish bibliographer Isaac ben Jacob, in his Bibliography Otsar Hasefarim (1880), mentions notations on Michlol, the Hebrew book by David Kimhi on Hebrew grammar, which he attributes to one “Rabbi Isaac Casaubon”.”
OK so they admit it here, but only at the bottom of the page, and they still pretend he was a Huguenot in the main sections.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emesan_dynasty
Anyways, one of the members of the “Emesene” royal dynasty (Severan) was the advocatus fisci (attorney general) of Rome Aemilius Papinianus. Here its admitted he was a follower, along with Severus, of Quintus Cervidius Scaevola. The amount of misdirection on this ancient “Syrian, or Arab” dynasty is immense, and the origin history of the Mucia/Scaevolas is scant. But they also enthroned an Armenian king Sohaemus, if that’s any more clue. Wiki also says he is from the Orontid dynasty of Commagene., and also descended from the Achaemenids.
Hmmm.. Scaevola.. Scovell.. I have no direct linkages but that similarity is striking. Especially if we look up the name Scaevola in Roman history, and we find all kinds of high ranking consuls, praetors, and at least two Pontifex (basically the pagan pope). Scaevola was also the name of a 1958 nuclear test as part of Operation Hardtack I.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucius_Scaevola
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Mucius_Scaevola_Pontifex
Most spoopily, we get this ridiculous 6th Century BC Roman propaganda story in the name of Gaius Mucius Scaevola. Scaevola apparently is Latin for ‘left handed’. He was also apparently the first Mucii. The name Mucius is prominent here also, since all Scaevola’s carried it. Not sure what the modern connection for that name could be though (yet). Also the Pontifex Scaevola, Quintus, had a daughter named Mucia Tertia, who married Pompey the Great, and later descendants intermarried with the Sulla/Cornelius family.

The English wiki page for Escoville is scant, but the French page is more informative. Further down the page, we get the coat of arms of the lord of Escoville, or the coat of arms of Charlotte de Mannoury, widow of Louis Valois. The Bourbon dynasty was a cadet branch of the Valois.

Oo wee I thought I was done, but suddenly I took a left turn and tumbled down some musty rabbit hole. The physicists in the room pay attention.
First need to explain that ridiculous 6th century Roman story involving Gaius Mucius Scaevola. So the story goes he is sent with approval of the Senate to assassinate the Etrusucan king Lars Porsena, who is besieging Rome with his army. Gaius bonks it and accidentally kills his look-alike secretary (body double?) instead, so he is brought before the king. Gaius boasts there are another 300 Roman would-be assassins that would follow him, and to demonstrate his bravery thrusts his right hand into a campfire. Lars is apparently so impressed by this badass, he decides to free him and immediately sign a peace treaty with Rome. Lars also leaves behind a store of provisions for the Romans cause he was that impressed.
Later on during peace negotiations, Porsena’s deal is that he gets a group of Roman hostages, including a young woman named Cloelia. She later flees the Etruscan camp with a bunch of virgins. Porsena whines to the Romans to give them back, and they consent. Upon her return, again Porsena thinks she’s such a badass he allows her to chose half of the remaining hostages to be freed.
If anyone can make sense of this part of the Roman-Etruscan Wars and Lars’ spooky behavior, then you deserve a 1000 shekels. The historians can’t seem to decide if this one is mythical or real, or what version is real.
Anyways on to the point, Lars had a legendary tomb built for him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Lars_Porsena
Roman writer Marcus Varro (check out the schnauzer on him) described it as such:
“Porsena was buried below the city of Clusium in the place where he had built a square monument of dressed stones. Each side was three hundred feet in length and fifty in height, and beneath the base there was an inextricable labyrinth, into which, if any-body entered without a clue of thread, he could never discover his way out. Above this square building there stand five pyramids, one at each corner and one in the centre, seventy-five feet [c. 22 meters] broad at the base and one hundred and fifty feet [c. 44 meters] high. These pyramids so taper in shape that upon the top of all of them together there is supported a brazen globe, and upon that again a petasus from which bells are suspended by chains. These make a tinkling sound when blown about by the wind, as was done in bygone times at Dodona. Upon this globe there are four more pyramids, each a hundred feet [c. 30 meters] in height, and above them is a platform on which are five more pyramids. ”
An 18th century priest Angelo Cortenovis (no wiki page) said the tomb was a machine for conducting lightning. A writer by the name of Robert Scrutton (also no wiki page) wrote about it in his 1978 book Secrets of Lost Atland (Atlantis).
Cortenovis’s description is also interesting, which we get out of this book by Alexander von Humboldt.
https://books.google.com/books?id=5oMOAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA139&dq=Father+Angelo+Cortenovis+Porsena&num=100&ei=f00lSPGNCouCyQSzoLiPCw&client=firefox-a#v=onepage&q=Father%20Angelo%20Cortenovis%20Porsena&f=false
“The story formerly current in Germany, and reported on the testimony of Father Angelo Cortenovis, that the tomb described by Varro of the hero of Clusium Lars Porsena, ornamented with a bronze hat and bronze pendant chains, was an apparatus for collecting atmospherical electricity, or for conducting lightning (as were also, according to Michaelis, the metal points on Solomon’s temple), was related at a time when men were inclined to attribute to the ancients the remains of a supernaturally-revealed primitive knowledge of physics, which was, however, soon again obscured. The most important notice of the relations between lightning and conducting metals (which it was not difficult to discover) appears to me to be that of Ctesias (Indica, cap 4, p. 169, ed. Lion; p. 248 ed. Baehr). “He had possessed, it is said, two iron swords, presents from the king Artaxerxes Mnemon, and from Parysatis, the mother of the latter, which, when planted in the earth, averted clouds, hail and strokes of lighting. “He had himself seen the results of this operation, for the king had twice made the experiment before his eyes.” The great attention paid by the Etruscans to the meteorological processes of the atmosphere in all that differed from that ordinary course of natural phenomena, makes it certainly a cause for regret that nothing has come down to us from the books of the Fulguratores…”
It goes on to say it was possibly used for religious reasons or to advert (or call?) thunderstorms. We’re also given links to Ley lines and Telluric currents on the tomb page for Lars.

About the Brien Foerster videos: The most glaring contradiction is that he always says “dynastic Egyptians” have “inherited” all these granite caskets & artifacts from a “pre-dynastic culture”, and then scratched their hieroglyphs on top. As for the caskets, that part seems true.
But then he points to other granite structures, and they’re covered in perfectly carved & polished hieroglyphs, the same as in later limestone ones. That means that the mysterious “pre-dynastic culture” was… the Egyptians themselves! They survived the cataclysm, just their toolchain didn’t.
My guess is it wasn’t “lost”. They almost certainly retained documents about it, and most of the white-collar engineers would’ve survived. I’d say whatever caused the cataclysm also did something to the earth’s charge field, killing their power source. Possibly also increased gravity, seeing how easily they had flung around the granite blocks before. They still knew their tech stuff, it just didn’t work any more. They had to restart the hard way.
Fascinating, but likely not directly related to spookery.

I noticed the Cohen discussion on the current thread. I want to warn again against taking any spook name or symbol literally. I think the explanation of Cohen as a “priestly” name is just another disguise, as with Levi. The spooks were never-ever religious, all names have different meanings for them. Cohen simply means “ruler”, as do most spook names.
Cohen itself means “ruler”, “prince” & “officer”, already in the Bible.
khn כהן = chief ruler, priest, prince, principal officer
khn כהן = standing, stationed officer, esp. priest
As a secondary pun, Cohen is also homonymous with “enrichment”.
khn כהן = enrich, enriched, employ riches, flourish
Other “Cohenic” names also mean “ruler”. Take Wiki’s Cohen name list: It claims Katz is a variant of Cohen, as it’s a an acronym of “righteous priest”. But guess what? Katzen also means “leader”, once again.
qṣyn קצין = magistrate, leader, prominent man, influential man
Since the spooks read “Jew” as “leader” & “majesty”, don’t you think this is the more likely explanation for the many Katz names?
The “priestly surnames” trap assures mainstreamers that the rich “Jews” are descendants of devout people, and makes truth-seekers think that “ze Jeeews” achieved domination by cooking up some eeevil religion. But they’ve really always been irreligious overlords.
And the narrow Cohen pigeonhole prevents the detection of more elaborate punnery.
Take Komnene for example. I don’t doubt that the Komnenes descended from the overlords who seeded the Jewish religion with their nasty puns. But I strongly doubt they’d see themselves as “priests”. Rather, Semitic kmn means “hidden” & “deceptive”. I think that fits the bill better, and we don’t have to explain away the M.
kmn כמן = to hide oneself, be hidden, do something secretly, to ambush, to plot, to hide, conceal
kmn כמן = hide, cover, lurking
kmyntnw כמינתנו = deceptiveness
Khomeini is another example. It may be roughly homonymous with Komnene, but the primary pun is another one:
ayat-ollah آیتالله = ayatollah (sign of God)
khamana’i خمانائی = similitude
So Ayatollah Khomeini puns with being merely “similar” to a sign of God. Do you really think those people were ever “priests”? 😉

He was born at Bagnols in Languedoc, France. According to Abraham Zacuto and others, he was the son of Gerson ben Solomon Catalan.’

Gerry, interesting notes about Cohen. In Miles’ latest paper on Malcolm X, at some point tracing somebody’s genealogy he says “The Owens take us to a Cowan (Cohen).” Given that Owen is pronounced just like Cohen without the ‘C’ at the beginning, and given the prominence of Owen in these shenanigans, I wonder if Owen is just another version of Cohen where they’ve dropped the C.
I agree that the spook families were never religious. You showed that many of the stories of the old testament were filled with spook symbolism and double-entendres. I have long believed that religions were created as means to control people. I don’t think Judaism is an exception and, living where I do, I don’t see any evidence that the controllers hold Judaism in any special esteem. They use it as a control mechanism and employ it in their divide-and-conquer strategies just like every other belief system.
Judaism is known as the first “mono-theistic” religion. But it wasn’t actually the first religion to feature a single god. It was however the first religion to adopt a “our god is the only god and all other gods are false gods” attitude. It was not just monotheistic, it was what I guess you could call an exclusive monotheistic religion. I think this aspect of the religion served as an excellent means of control, since it automatically pits believers against non-believers and gives the believers a special sense of superiority.
And while we’re on that topic, here is something I came across that I found kind of interesting. I don’t really trust the sources, but I believe the observation is correct.
It is a pdf I made of a review in Ha’aretz of a book on the history of “Goyim.” Or in other words, the history of the concept in Judaism. The authors state that if you go through the Old Testament, you can see that there was not a very clear line drawn between Jews and non-Jews — at least not as clear as would be drawn later. One of the things they note is that Jews were not forbidden from marrying Egyptians. As far as I could tell from the review, this was the only marriage exception allowed at the time. Given what you’ve found about the links between ancient Egypt and the Phoenicians, I find this very telling.
The book says that the stark line between Jew and non-Jew (goy) was drawn during the rise of Christianity. This gives us some hints that Christianity was part of a divide-and-conquer strategy, whereby two “exclusive” monotheistic religions (later joined by a third) could be played off against each other.

As for Goyim: The word means “body” and by derivation “commonality”. I already shared a link where the word means “corporation” (lines 2, 5, 7, 8) on a Phoenician temple in Piraeus. Since it generally denotes all things “common”, the aristocrats perhaps also used it to refer to us “commoners”.
gw גו = belly, inward, community, commonality, common buildings, in common
As for Cohen / Owen: I can’t tell if that’s a garbled variant, since the N would be the only remaining “hard” vowel. What I can say is that since K is a common prefix meaning “like”, Cohen could be further broken down. It likely originated as k-hwn meaning “wise manner” for the “governor-priest”, and k-hny meaning “profitable manner” for the “enrichment” meaning.

Noah’s ark & Noah’s nakedness
Because we discussed whether Biblical lists of nations & tribes were utter hogwash or just hogwash, I tried an analysis of Noah, Ham, Shem & Japheth. It seems to be pure punnery to me.
Noah puns with “leader” & “eminency”, pretty much like Judah puns with “leader” & “majesty”. Nothing new here.
nḥ נח = Noah
nḥh נחה = lead, guide
nh נה = eminency, distinction
The ark seems to be a parable for “cover story”: It’s explicitly to be made of “gopher” wood. This curious material is not mentioned anywhere else.
tbh תבה = box, ark
ṭb טב = character, history, story, account
ṭbˀ טבא = rumor
ṭbybw טביבו = celebrity
gpr גפר = gopher
kpr כפר = cover
And that directly maps onto the otherwise unconnected & inexplicable “naked Noah” scene:
Noah’s vineyard also puns with “cover”.
krm כרם = vineyard
qrm קרם = skin, cover, overlay
Shem & Japheth are also puns to things that conceal the nakedness of the leader: “authority” & “deception”. For both, it is the official etymology. Shem as “authority” also explains the term “anti-Semitic”.
šm שם = Shem
šm שם = name, fame, reputation, authority
ypt יפת = Japheth
pth פתה = open, persuade, flatter, silly, delude, deceive, enticed, deceived
Ham means many things, but also “showing” & “seeing”. Ham’s son Canaan becomes a slave to Shem & Japeth after Ham “sees” Noah, the “naked leader”.
ḥm חם = Ham
ḥmy חמי = see, look, study, imagine, show, demonstrate, appear, seem
ḥmh חמה = see, protect
Ham also means “hot”, and that’s why the authors have him be father of African nations.
ḥm חם = Ham
ḥm חם = hot
Canaan, Ham’s son, has the basic meaning of “curved”, which has the derived meanings of “trade”, but also “subjugation”. Canaan becoming a servant to Shem & Japeth likely means that subjugation can be achieved through authority & deception. Ham being father of Canaan could mean that a good “show” achieves “subjugation”, or that any “appearance” of the naked truth needs to be “subdued”.
knˁn כנען = Canaan
knˁ כנע = humble, subdue, humiliate, vanquish, bend knee, bring into subjection
So, to the spooks, Noah’s story is not actually about a flood or an ark, but about leaders needing a good “cover story”, using “authority” & “deception”. There were cataclysms all right, but the spooks just used that setting to decorate their parable on the merits of cryptocracy.
Only this hidden story arc connects the 2 parts of Noah’s story perfectly. In the official narrative, they don’t fit together at all.
Since the root at the Table of Nations is a cheap pun, I’d warn against putting too much faith into it, even though it starts making a bit more sense later, when actual nations’ names occur.

Wood is not the best material for shipbuilding. It is not enough that a ship be built to hold together; it must also be sturdy enough that the changing stresses don’t open gaps in its hull.
Wood is simply not strong enough to prevent separation between the joints, especially in the heavy seas that the Ark would have encountered.
The longest wooden ships in modern seas are about 300 feet, and these require reinforcing with iron straps and leak so badly they must be constantly pumped. The ark was 450 feet long [ Gen. 6:15]. Could an ark that size be made seaworthy?

So how did they feed all the herbivores?
Also, how did they carry enough extra animals to feed all the carnivores? If they had a breeding programme, this would take up lots of space and extra food…there just wasn’t enough room. Back then they had no comprehension of the number of creatures that existed on the planet.
It isn’t just a case of taking two of everything. What happens when one dies? There is then no way to replicate that particular creature. Where did they store all the fresh water the creatures would need? If they also took two of every insect, they must have taken two of every flowering plant, otherwise, what did all the insects feed on?
No sunlight when it rains for 40 days and 40 nights so any plant-life would die, along with most of the insects. The whole story is like Swiss cheese, just like a wooden ship that size would be, with no automated bilge pumps.
There’s around 4,000 species of known land herbivore. So that’s 8,000 plant eating animals to start with. What did they do with all that manure? Use the methane for gas lighting? Does the bible mention this? Or did they just tip it overboard in one of the first instances of man polluting the oceans? Makes you think don’t it? They could feed all the flies with it … but the smell! They would need sealed enclosures or the flies would fly off.
It’s not just the feasibility of building a wooden ship of that size. There are dozens of impossibilities if you open your mind and analyse the whole concept.
In the same way that parts of lots of stories don’t make sense, neither does this story. If there’s to be a biblical flood sent by God as a punishment to wipe man off the face of the Earth then you must save all the other creatures, that’s the backbone of the whole story. Then again, why didn’t God just produce more creatures like he did the first time around? You can’t have the flood drown everything without there being some way to save the non-human creatures, lets face it, the creatures only gang rape and murder each other in the name of survival, which is all the Ark was doing, helping them survive; so that’s okay then.
I suppose the bible missed out the crucial bit about how they had to keep the herbivores and carnivores separated for decades until they repopulated. One accidental killing means a whole species eliminated. That goes for disease too.
Of course veterinary medicine was second to none back then.
It’ll be interesting to see that huge ark seaworthy in a big swell. Will they fill it full of ballast, the equivalent of all those animals, water and feed? Got to do the experiment right if you are going to prove anything. I wonder how much CGI will be used.
Will Elon Musk be supplying the drones to video the first voyage?
Or better still, were the ancient/biblical flood stories simply telling of ice melting on a massive scale at the end of the last major glaciation, causing huge floods worldwide?
Also note the fakery in the photo on the web-page you linked to. The guy’s face has been pasted in….why? Why the Apollo 11 quality photography?
If that ancient ship is real, wouldn’t it be perfectly feasible that it was built during times of catastrophic flooding but was a failure? Would it also be more feasible to think that it was built by men who were trying to help their families survive? Who took lots of animals with them for food? Then the story got corrupted over what is it….thousands of years?

“Repudiating and then changing his views about the site, Fasold was a participant in a suit with Australian geologist and skeptic Ian Plimer against an Australian creationist group. The suit, dubbed the “Monkey Trial II,”[1] was an important case in the debate between science and religion and its role in society[citation needed].”

Research on this subject is mostly by people, I suspect 98%, trying to prove the existence and the story behind it. In this respect I feel there may be just a hint of bias. I prefer logic and reasoning to people pushing a story to sell millions of dollars worth of books and video’s. These massive sales are simply pushed along on a tide of hope and faith that what you are being told is true. As it is impossible to prove that something doesn’t exist, then that avenue of research is never going to happen is it? The only research I need bother myself with is understanding the science behind the possibilities and impossibilities of the stories major points or should I say anomalies?. Logic on the other hand can prove a thing cannot possibly exist, like a car full of elephants or a bed made of sleep.

The Ferengi are an inside joke, a parody of “Jews” by “Jews”.
The word “Ferengi” may be a variant of “Franks”, which may just be another term for “Phoenicians”, and perhaps also “Jews” in the meaning of “creditors”.
“Phoenicians” & “Punics” is derived from the root פן pn for “turning” & “exchange”, i.e. merchants & bankers.
“Franks” seems to be derived from the similar root פרע prˁ for “returning” & “credit”. I heard some modern incantators pronounce Aramaic prˁ as “farang”, perhaps reading the Ayin as Ghayin.
The modern words “pun” & “prank” may be derived from “Punic” & “Frank”, because in both cases you “turn” something around, or “exchange” the truth for something else.
“Frank” as “prank” may also explain some aristocratic pranks.
It could help if we found some symbols which exclusively stand for the Franks, such as the phoenix for the Phoenicians. But I haven’t found any so far.

I just happen to be watching a episode of Deep Space 9 and it dawned on me that the Ferengi were very similar to the Phoenicians.
I kept hearing about the laws of acquisition so I decided to look it up and when I read them I was laughing my ass off how true they were to the way merchants have always acted in history.
There funny in a kind of black comedy way.
I was originally going to call it the laws of the Phoenician Navy.

The Ferengi religion is commerce and their society is determined by profit.
The Ferengi believe that the universe is held together by the Great Material Continuum, also known as the Great River.
The Ferengi believe that each part of the universe has too much of one thing, but not enough of another, and it is through the continual flow of the Great River that wants and needs can be fulfilled, if one navigates the River with sufficient entrepreneurial skill.

The name Ferengi was coined based on the Persian term Ferenghi, used throughout Asia (compare older Feringhee), meaning “foreigners” or “Europeans”
Persian (/ˈpɜːrʒən, -ʃən/), also known by its endonym Farsi (فارسی, fārsi, [fɒːɾˈsiː], is a Western Iranian language belonging to the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian subdivision of the Indo-European languages.
Various critics have argued that the depiction of the Ferengi and their culture mirrors anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews, namely the love of profit and the over-sized facial features – in the case of the Ferengi, the ears.

The Persian term فرنگ farang or فرنگی farangi was coined after the “Frankish” word “Franks”. So the Hollywood Ferengi are officially named after the Franks. My question was what the Franks were named after.
You can easily see that the Franks were a con, because in the official genealogies, all Roman aristocratic lines die out, and all Frankish lines pop up out of nowhere and take the same spots.

It is plausible that you have higher ranking family members stirring the pot of the lower ranks. But I would think envy would make some of the infighting quite real and ferocious. Wishful thinking also has me hoping that sometimes one or two of the scions “break free”, giving us a littoral schism. For example, Dionysius I of Syracuse always has a bad press within the Histories that have come down to us. I am thinking of the incident in which he destroyed the Phoenician part of Syracuse and slaughtered the merchants there. Apparently. What can we believe in the end?
Still, I always like to remind myself that the march of the Phoeny Empire was not likely to have been a smooth affair with everything going to plan, e.g. the Sea Peoples and all that. So within the published Histories perhaps there are echoes of the stories of those who rebelled. Note that this does not make the likes of Dionysius a good person but rather a Bad Phoenician 😀

For the Franks, I found another interesting explanation why that identity was used to break up the Roman empire: Similar words with the consonants P/F R/L G/K/Q/J mean “breaking up” in Latin, English, German, Arabic, and in garbled form even in Hebrew & Aramaic.
It seems to be an archaic multi-language-family root with derivations such as break, breach, breeches, brook, fraction, fracture. Being “frank” meaning being “open” may be derived from “breaking open”. Wiktionary lists the root as bʰreg. Note that the N disappears in the Latin forms already.
Latin: frango, frangere, fregi, fractum = break, shatter, vanquish, defeat
English: break = fracture, separate, shatter
German: brechen = break, fracture
In Arabic, both L and R forms occur, with a trailing J, Q, G, Ayin. It seems to overlap with the פרע prˁ root I mentioned above.
faraja فَرَجَ = open, part, separate, cleave, split, breach
falaqa فلق = split, cleave, break
faraga فَرَغَ = empty, vacant, wind up
farʿ فَرْع = branch, section, subdivision, derivative
In Old Hebrew & Aramaic, both L and R forms occur, often even without the trailing G.
prr פרר = break, divide, defeat, dissolve
pll פלל = break, pierce
plg פלג = split, divide
plg פלג = split, divide, separate, allot
pgr פגר = break up, destroy
prg פרג = change, exchange, reverse, ruin

Surely Varangian has to be related or is it just a coincidence that it sounds similar?
LikeLike
Yes, the pronunciation seems too close for a coincidence. But the meanings don’t overlap. So either my explanation for the Franks is false, or the Wiki explanation for the Varangians is false, or the words are not just related and were used as a pun.
Since the spooks like to be “leaders”, the official Frankish / Varangian meanings cited in the Wikis are already a good match. Note that we also have the possible derivations “free” < “break open”, and “steward” < “exchange”.
Old French: franc = free, of noble descent
Icelandic: foringi = chief, commander
Gothic: fauragaggja = steward, manager
But the Wiki map shows a very vast trade network for the Varangians, and the Star Trek Ferengi are styled as merchants, not rulers. So the meanings of “exchange” from פרע prˁ and פרג prg would be a better primary pun.
This is what I found in Old Norse, but that dictionary is probably very limited:
bregða = alter, turn, change; break faith or oath; break off; shapechange, turn into
varningr cargo, wares
fara = go, move, travel; behave, act as
ganga = go, walk; advance; take place; extend; go on, last; turn out
(The Phrygians may be another variant of whatever it is.)

after the rooster and the prygian cap, we can mention two others symbols for France
1) One is the frog… we are frog-eaters, as everybody knows.
http://vexilla-regis.com/textevr/Fleur%20de%20Lys.htm
According to Guenon, the emblem on the Clovis, standards was not a toad but a frog.
(Clovis is the official first franck king),
The confusion is easy but not free.
The toad is essentially a negative symbol (its pejorative connotation is not only old but universal since in ancient China it was supposed to represent the guardian of the abode of the dead).
The frog symbolizes, through its metamorphoses, the spiritual step towards perfection, resurrection and immortality.
At the beginning of the 20th century, popular belief still existed that frogs buried during an earthquake could survive for years, even centuries and even millennia set in stone.
I have clippings from the 1880s that relate the “discovery” of the digger who, breaking rocks to draw a road, see the escape of the stone block of “prehistoric frogs”. It was at the time, one of the most popular hacks of the popular press. And this belief was very old.
It was also probably related to the myth of the lost king, the sleeping king, the hidden king, the king under the mountain etc.
In any case, it is likely that the Merovingians used the emblem of the frog as a manifestation of their certainty of belonging to the immortal race of kings of France. (immortal because the king never dies, as you know)
The frog is also a symbol of fertility because the ancients believed (or pretended to believe) that these creatures attracted by their songs the rains beneficial.
That said, the symbolic figuration of the Merovingian frog is very similar to the fleur-de-lis of the Capetians, which can easily be transformed into a bee, the totem of the usurper, as we know.
remeber also how, in children’s stories, the frog turns into a charming prince if she gets a kiss… charming prince or merchant prince ?
2) the other is the lily
The Lys of France would have appeared towards the reigns of Louis VI and Louis VII.
They took this emblem as England took the leopard, Germany, the Eagle and Belgium, the Lion.
Is the lily a deformation of the bee that Childeric I wore in jewelry?
Does it come from the Iris of the waters, indicating the swampy character of the countries whence came the francs, and which had long since ornamented the royal sceptres?
Is it the reproduction of the spearhead, the angon, with its lateral fangs?
All the hypotheses are possible, and none is certain.
First in “sowing” on azure field, the number of fleur-de-lis was reduced to 3 under Charles V in honor of the Holy Trinity.
Father Ménétrier (Jesuit of the seventeenth author of “the temple of wisdom open to all peoples”) recalls that the primitive Franks bore on their signs a seedling of toads.
A legend tells that an angel appeared in Clovis to change the emblem of the toad in fleur-de-lis. (We note that the heraldic toad is very similar to the heraldic lily.)
In Greek, the toad is Phrynicé.
His tutelary goddess is Phrynia (Latin equivalent: Feronia.) She was the protectress of the freedmen.
She was represented wearing the traditional hat of her homeland: Phrygia ..
Thus the Lys and the Phrygian cap have the same origin … *
It is obviously rudimentary. The symbolism of the toad, lilies and Feronia is infinitely richer, more complex and more amazing by its implications especially in the History of France…
wouh !

…Is it the reproduction of the spearhead with its lateral fangs ?…
if the fleur-de-lys is not a lily, but a spearhead… you know what it means :
spearhead :
The pointed head, or end, of a spear.
One who leads or initiates an activity (such as an attack or a campaign).
The leading military unit in an attack.
(sports) A player who initiates attacking moves.
spearhead \ˈspɪɹ.hɛd\
“Diriger, mener, conduire” (= Leading, leading, driving)
so, may be we have to understand that the 3 lilies of France are other lies :
no flowers, but a spear with metal head, to drive the herd and lead the earth.
