If the "history" of the 19th century seems to be a giant fiction meant to hide the genocide of the Old World, the events of the 20th century are no less mysterios

Let's take for example the Second World War, which acts as the foundational myth of the modern world

For starters, it wasn't a real war, rather an elaborate hoax

Except all the destruction was done with technologies we're not told about

I've already gone in detail how I believe "firebombing" and "atomic bombing" are actually covers for plasma discharge weaponry

But that's far from the only mystery

For example, the fuel demands of an armed force are tremendous, and it's not clear at all where it came from

So what are these cylinders, what was in them, what did they do ?

And then you find these things

First illustration - "radium heating". I am not kidding.
They try to pass this off as "this is how those stupid people in 1900 imagined the future"

As you might imagine, I don't buy it.
Rather, I think this is what they used at the time

And there's these things. Notice how they look exactly like the mystery cylinders attached to the army trucks.

Down to the same small doors with handles.

What were these things ?
Small reactors powered by radium pellets ?

One thing I'm reminded of is a steam locomotive firebox

What the fuck is this bullshit ?
Smashing perfectly good rolling stock ?
Or destruction of technology the serf must not know about ?

Wolf said the song was inspired by watching trains in the night

"We used to sit out in the country and see the trains go by, watch the sparks come out of the smokestack. That was smokestack lightning."

How exactly does burning coal emit sparks ?

Same thing in marine boilers

"The Niclausse boilers [...] produced copious amounts of smoke and sparks"

And then you learn the nuclear navy uses the exact same 600psi boilers that were originally developed by the Germans in World War II

Which brings us back to the Nazis - there's photographic evidence of mysterious urns with an always-burning flame that somehow vanished after the Americans took over the show

The exact same ever-burning amphorae were to be found in Communist Eastern Europe
