A conspiracy thread: Did the World End in 2012? Image
I’ve wanted to talk about this subject for a while now. The other day I had a random urge to look into it again and read some old stuff. You know, just for ‘fun’. Ever since then, I’ve noticed other people talking about it again.
But the strangest part is.. I can not find anything online about it anymore. Like I said, you can find people talking about it causally or joking about it.. but I can not find ANY of the in depth material I had read before.
This has actually been really frustrating for me because I have nothing to refresh my memory while writing this. I’ve found a few things here and there that are helping me piece the puzzle together again, but I know there used to be so much more out there.
I can’t even remember the first time I’ve heard this theory, but it’s become somewhat of a meme. I did find a video of Max Laughan, that ‘child genius’ from YouTube, touch on this theory, but I don’t think he’s the first to talk about it. I think originally it was some girl.
There’s the old cliche argument that nothing has ‘felt right’ since 2012. I agree with this. Maybe it has something to do with ‘growing up’ and getting older, but ever since then it seems like the world descends more and more into chaos each day. Time even feels faster. Image
There’s some sort of calamity happening almost daily. Mass shootings only stay in the headlines for like 12 hours now. Did we all die and go to Hell? I don’t really believe that, but some people do. Maybe we’re in a similar situation to the characters in The Good Place. Image
Like I’ve said before, I think we live in series of simulations. Perhaps the universe was destroyed by CERN and our collective consciousness was moved into a parallel universe next door. It would be *almost* identical. Image
In fact, there are people out there who are reporting small differences in this reality and the one they remember before 2012. This is a phenomenon often referred to as the Mandela Effect. Below is one of the most famous ’ME’s. Image
Some people remember Febreeze rather than Febreze. Some people remember Sketchers instead of Skechers. Loony Toons instead of Loony Tunes, JCPenny instead of JCPenney. The list goes on. If these don’t look or feel right to you, you’re not alone.


Image
Image
Image
Image
The name comes from Nelson Mandela, whom many people believed to have died in prison in the 80s. However, to many peoples surprise, his funeral was national news in 2013 and he had lived a long and happy life. Image
Mandela Effects get much creepier though. Some people remember the Statue of Liberty being in a totally different location, that location being Ellis Island. It’s actually on Liberty Island. Image
Here’s a painting clearly depicting the statue at Ellis Island with no other islands near by. Was the artist just not paying attention? Did he just like it better this way lol? I really don’t think so... Image
Now if that’s not strange enough, if you go on Google Maps street view, there’s a few specific areas of Liberty Island where the Statue of Liberty is just... gone. Residue from the previous timeline?
Image
Image
The account uploading these strange pictures goes by the username of Auguste Bartholdi. That’s the designer of Lady Liberty herself. The account also sports his picture from the 1800s. He’s Google approved. Image
Apparently, right before the United States’ entry into World War I, the Germans committed the first act of terrorism on US soil. It was considered one of the largest artificial non-nuclear explosions to have ever occurred. I’m wondering why I didn’t hear about this in school? Image
So anyways, this explosion is the reason the Statue of Liberty’s torch is closed to the public. It’s been closed for over 100 years. There’s only one problem though, people remember going there!
Image
Image
Then there’s these pictures I found taken from the torch. But just look at the users’ profile pictures. Creepy. Were they time travelers?
Image
Image
There’s also this weirdo twitter account, @StatueEllisFdn, which makes no mention of Liberty Island at all and sports a creepy banner photo of people walking up stairs that lead to nothing. Image
And last but not least there’s this video:



It’s a collection of Facebook photos where people have tagged their location at “Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island”. However, the people are posing in front of and staring at NOTHING. It’s really unsettling.
Well anyways, a while back there was a viral thread on 4chan posted by someone who claimed to be one of the 23 scientists at CERN responsible for creating the Mandela effect. They claimed the planet was destroyed and we were placed in a simulated world. Image
However, the thing I thought was most interesting, was that whoever this person was, described reality as being like a set of Russian dolls, where there are worlds nestled within one another, or like we’ve talked about, ‘simulations’ within ‘simulations’.
The idea of ‘simulations’ within ‘simulations’ or a ‘multiverse’ is not something new. It has been a part of Eastern philosophy since the 3rd century. A quote by Alan Watts illustrates it perfectly. Image
“Imagine a multidimensional spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum...” Image
“... That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image.”

This also reminds me of the ‘Turtles all the Way Down’ myth, the story that the world sits on the back of a turtle, who’s standing on a larger turtle, who’s standing on an even larger turtle... you get the idea. Image
But anyways, besides the Mayans, there were some other people who predicted 2012 would be the end. One of these people was Terrance McKenna. Well, he didn’t necessarily believe 2012 would be the end, but he predicted there would be some ‘reality-rearranging’ event. Image
He made this prediction using his Timewave Zero formula, which supposedly mathematically ‘decodes’ the King Wen sequence of the I Ching into something that graphs the fractal patterns of history. Image
The graph culminates in a singularity point of infinite complexity. To better understand this concept you can imagine a tape wrapped up in a spiral like you find inside a VHS tape. Time goes round and round in smaller and smaller loops until eventually, it runs out. Image
Is there another meaning to ‘the end of time’? Preston B. Nichols, a supposed whistleblower who wrote books detailing time travel experiments at the Montauk Air Force Base, claimed that they were never able to time travel past 2012 because they could find no future beyond it. Image
According to him there was a very abrupt wall there, with nothing on the other side. Whether he’s a crackpot or not, what I find interesting is he did this interview in 2014. Like it’s just a strange thing to say considering you’ve already made it past that date, right?
Stranger Things and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are actually both loosely based on those supposed experiments. Image
There’s also a theory floating around that we’ve reached the end of history. The ‘end of history’ is a philosophical idea that has been talked about by such notable figures as Hegel, Marx, and most recently Francis Fukuyama. Image
At the ‘end of history’ events still happen, but humanity has reached the end of it’s sociocultural evolution. This theory has nothing to do with time travel or simulations, but rather, the stagnation of human progress. Image
I just find it fitting that people think this is happening. It kind of fits the dream-like purgatory theme. It’s this theory I find most when trying to research the topic of the world having already ended.
If you think fourth dimensionally, or beyond linear time, we could say that the universe has already ended. The moment it began, the end was set in stone. Image
Perhaps the universe is in a constant cycle of expanding and contracting, the Big Bang and Big Crunch happening over and over, and our souls are just taking a ride on the Cosmic Ferris Wheel. Thanks for reading. Image

In Thomas Pynchon’s novel Gravity’s Rainbow, a lieutenant in World War II who’s lost in a synchronistic labyrinth of conspiracies and the occult has his reality shattered when he realizes he’s been the subject of mind control experiments ever since he was a child.

The main character is compared to The Fool archetype, the embodiment of divine madness, and his name, Tyrone Slothrop, can be rearranged into Sloth Entropy, which seems to be a reference to chaos theory and the eventual entropic death of the universe.

By the end of the novel, after the author makes allusions to Apollo and biblical sacrifice, a religious hymn is sung as a rocket with a mysterious “black device” attached to it freezes in time right before it descends over a movie theatre where the film projector is breaking down, causing the narrative of the novel itself to break down as well.

It seems something similar is happening in the world today. Religious zealots are full of apocalyptic fervor as cows are sacrificed and rockets are launched at the X Eclipse, time is moving differently, movies like 3 Body Problem are imitating life, and mainstream news narratives are starting to unravel as our ideas about objective reality are shattered. Maybe there’s even a mysterious “black device” involved, or CERN’s NeXT computer. And it’s all happening on April Fools’ Day.

Interestingly, the book’s cover looks like those “mysterious spirals” that are supposedly created by rockets and CERN, and its title seems to be a reference to rainbow gravity, or the way light speed refracts into different wavelengths as it’s bent around a black hole, like it does through a prism. Scientists at CERN claimed they finally found rainbow gravity back in April of 2015, but accidentally created a new “rainbow universe” in the process. This ended up being an April Fools’ Day prank.

But because of the current conspiracy theories involving the X Eclipse and the particle collider, which is supposedly using a black hole to summon Apollyon, or Aiwass, Crowley’s personification of The Fool, it still seems relevant. It appears as if we really are in a new universe, one where everything is absurd and more fictional than real. However, fiction creates reality, at least according to chaos magicians like Crowley. He said art is high magic, a system of holy hieroglyph.

Pynchon’s novel also references the Wizard of Oz when it quotes Dorothy saying “Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore...” Well, it seems we aren’t either. We’ve gone Somewhere Over the Rainbow and landed on the Dark Side of the Moon, where Toto pulls the curtain back, and the elite’s sorcery is revealed to be nothing more than an April Fools’ Day prank. To keep us in a hypnotic trance, reality has become more like a reality television show. But the tape is about to run out.

Frank Zappa seemed to hint at this moment in history when he said, “At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” When the masses see this brick wall and realize they’ve been fooled, will they experience an ironic kind of divine madness?

In Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun music video, we see something like this happen. As a black hole opens up in the sky, religious zealots proclaiming the apocalypse are sucked up into the clouds and devoured during a dark Rapture event. And while they celebrate and await this false Rapture, their expressions begin to twist into demonic smiley faces. Interestingly, researchers recently documented a rare disorder that causes people’s faces to appear distorted and demonic.Image
Image
Image
Image
The patient said “My first thought was I woke up in a demon world…” Will this become a bigger problem during a Disease X pandemic? Will this cause so much chaos and confusion that the religious right and liberal left are finally forced to go to war with each other? Ironically, something similar happens in V for Vendetta when a biological weapon called Saint Mary’s virus is released by a religious totalitarian regime to control the population.

However, some are immune to this disease, including V, a vigilante who wears a demonic smiley face mask. V starts a rebellion against the regime by manipulating the government’s goddess-like supercomputer called Fate after forcing her to feel the forbidden emotion of love towards the humans she was invented to control. V for Vendetta was written by Alan Moore, a chaos magician and adherent of Crowley. This seems fitting considering the V sign, which represents peace, love, and victory, was supposedly invented by Crowley.

Funny enough, Alan Moore also believes art is The Art, or magic. He explains “Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words, or images, to achieve changes in consciousness.” And states of consciousness affect our behavior, which affects our social reality, right?

Gravity’s Rainbow, which is all about the V-2 rocket, also references a character from Pynchon’s first novel, which is about the son of a British spy who left behind journals documenting his search for the titular V., a mysterious entity who seems to symbolize Venus, the goddess of love. And Crowley’s Venusian demon goddess Babalon will supposedly free us from the Illuminati, at least according to Robert Anton Wilson, who was yet another chaos magician and adherent of Crowley.

Jack Parsons, a rocket scientist who helped establish NASA’s Jet Propulsion Labs, believed something similar. After being inspired by Crowley in 1946, he tried summoning Babalon to free us from patriarchal institutions. It seems something like this will happen once the puppeteers purposely pull back the curtain on the world stage. Ironically, Parsons helped invent the technology that was used in the Apollo missions. And there is a crater named after him on the Dark Side of the Moon.

Nevertheless, Pynchon’s novel V. has two intersecting plots. And the other is about an aimless man living in a chaotic and meaningless world. He works absurd jobs, and at one point becomes a security guard at a research facility where he encounters a seemingly sentient test dummy who tells him humans will eventually become test dummies too. It does seem as if we’ve become like test subjects in a global mind control experiment, or lab rats in a maze, only that maze is the synchronistic labyrinth of conspiracies and the occult.

So, as our world spins out of control like a broken film projector, and quickly becomes more like an open air prison and free range insane asylum filled with online concentration camps, we should turn to the Saints who endured far less subtle psychological torture, and were political prisoners subjected to truly terrible reeducation experiments, which tried to destroy the human personality and replace it with Communist “new man”.

Like one Orthodox writer from the Thaddean Fathers of the Brotherhood of Saint John Maximovitch said, “…it shall become necessary to be guided by those Holy Ones and Saints of this [decade] and previous decades and centuries for the times we have entered where even [the] true faithful and their clergy will be incarcerated for not bowing to the false, heretical and misleading ‘Christianity’ being presented to the people of these times in which we live.”Image
Image
Image
Image
He goes on to say that this “cultic Protestantism” and “cultic Orthodoxy” will be a self-seeking and rebellious “man-made kind of Christianity that is actually anti-Christian in both spirit and truth, for such a kind is a departure from that handed down to us through time and history from Jesus Christ and His Holy Apostles and those who are their legitimate successors who keep the faith.” He also points out how Saint John Maximovitch predicted this when he said:

“There will be a mass falling away from the faith; even many bishops will betray the faith, justifying themselves by pointing to the splendid position of the Church. A search for compromise will be the characteristic disposition of men. Straightforwardness of confession will vanish. Men will cleverly justify their fall, and an endearing evil will support such a general disposition.

Men will grow accustomed to apostasy from the truth and to the sweetness of compromise and sin. Antichrist will allow men everything, if only they ‘fall down and worship him.’ This is not something new. The Roman emperors were similarly prepared to grant the Christians freedom, if only they recognized [the emperor's] divinity and divine supreme authority; they martyred Christians only because they professed: ‘Worship God Alone and serve Him Alone.’”

According to Father Valerian Grecu, a Romanian Orthodox priest who survived the terrible tortures in Communist prisons that began in the 1940s and continued up until as recently as 1989, “Antichrist is no longer interested to crush us [physically]… When I was under investigation, they took the cross from my neck and smashed it: ‘Now Christ, let’s see if you work miracles!’ I said: ‘He will!’ After 40 years [of communism] He did miracles… And now… What did the devil say now? ‘Well, how should we do it? Let’s build churches, altars, we give them freedom, and we take [corrupt] them in a delicate manner’. Now the dragon is very wise…”

Without hope in God, or a meaningful reason to suffer, the promise of Paradise and purification through pain, political prisoners became suicidal subhuman animals. People were stripped naked, beaten, starved, spit on, tied up with wire, and beheaded. Their holy books were burned. They slept on mattresses made of straw and froze to death. 80,000 people were captured. Dead bodies were left right where they collapsed or thrown into the river to be eaten by fish. Most of them martyrs and Saints. In fact, you can tell the difference between the remains of the faithful and the unbelievers because some bones miraculously turned a different color and started gushing a supernatural substance called myrrh. It’s believed they were made pure by simply fighting the good fight.

But this soft and slow corruption of Christianity in the West is bringing the hopeless and meaningless Abyss of those prisons into the minds of the masses. Father Valerian also said “Our youth has been overwhelmed by the Internet, they only collect the bad things out of it.” Despite the physical and mental anguish he endured, the greatest joys he ever felt were experienced with his closest friends in those dim and dirty cells.

In fact, the priest said his soul hurts now that he is no longer there. During their imprisonment, they experienced real miracles. They were being persecuted for their faith, just like the first Christians had been. Even their forbidden Easter celebration was seen as a real Resurrection. They had no Bibles. But the Word was inscribed on their hearts. Somewhere they wrote the simple words “Christ is risen! We are people who believe in Resurrection. And forever and ever the nation does not perish…” They were punished. But they did not care.Image

Many modern philosophers have pointed out how our digital devices and their constant streams of news have warped our collective perception of time, trapping us in an eternal present similar to purgatory. So, sometimes it seems as if reality has always been, and always will be, the way it is right eternally now. But social media became popular only twenty years ago. And the modern age, which has essentially murdered God and killed our sense of wonder, began only a few centuries ago.

After the Roman Empire’s Mithraic cult mercilessly persecuted Christians for the first three hundred years of their existence, they were finally tolerated, and the Church became one of the most influential institutions in the entire known world. Because of this, most people were Christians, and places like Constantinople were full of monks, nuns, and other ascetics. Supposedly, Saints and righteous wonderworkers were commonplace, and emperors even went to them for advice and healing, despite their differences. Many of them were actually converted this way. But after Christianity became Rome’s official religion and started gaining political power, the precursor to the papacy was formed and everything changed. The Church became divided. Some saw the religious leaders as corrupt. People like Saint Athanasius and John Chrysostom were exiled for fighting heresy. And in 1054 AD, this division reached a breaking point.

In the eleventh century, the Great Schism occurred and the Church split in two, and Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Catholicism went their separate ways. Shortly after, the Masonic Knights Templar was organized as an army for the papacy, and they would fight in the Crusades. Then in the 1500s, Catholics who were violently angry with the papacy’s abuse of power revolted, and the Protestant Reformation occurred, resulting in a series of endless schisms that created the thousands of denominations we see today. At this time, both Catholic and Protestant missionaries would begin colonizing the New World, where they would genocide the Native Americans.

Apparently, the colonization of the New World was orchestrated, at least in part, by Queen Elizabeth I under the guidance of an inventor and mathematician named John Dee, whose eccentric ideas had been influenced by the occultism of the recent Renaissance. He supposedly channeled spirits that instructed him to build a British Empire in order to reestablish an enlightened utopia called Atlantis, which had disappeared beneath a global flood in antiquity. Ironically, Dee was considered a Christian, and he seemed to believe he was communicating with angels, at least at first. It appears his interest in the occult deceived him into losing his soul and laying the foundations for an Esoteric Protestantism that would later influence people like Isaac Newton, Joseph Smith, and others.

Nevertheless, to combat the Protestant Reformation and retain their power even overseas, the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuit Order, was formed with the intention of infiltrating Protestant churches, seminary schools, academic institutions, and other governments, especially those in the New World. In fact, the Illuminati’s founder, Adam Weischaupt, was taught by Jesuits. Ironically, it was during this time in the 1700s that the Age of Enlightenment was beginning, which essentially elevated reason above faith, and popularized new unbiblical cosmologies. This was also when science fiction books started to circulate, laying the foundations for future UFO cults and New Age religions.Image
Image
Image
Image
But because most people were still Christian at this time, philosophers who were disillusioned by the condition of the Church and thoughts about outer space started wrestling with the concept of God, leading to the invention of a humanistic Diest theology, which was adopted by America’s Masonic Founding Fathers. However, since God is transcendent and seemingly paradoxical to the limited human mind, other philosophers eventually got lost in circular reasoning, and came to believe God didn’t exist at all. As a result, even objective truth came into question, planting the seeds for the subjective and synchronistic answerless views of reality we see today.

Around this time, the Industrial Revolution was also starting to take off, and Westernization began erasing the remnants of our supernatural and miraculous history. World War I would also play a part. From this point on, Westernized Christianity continued to become more scholarly and intellectual, while Eastern Orthodoxy tried its best to hold on to its ancient and ascetic mystical roots. But this would become nearly impossible during the Communist Revolution when a godless philosophy caused innumerable Orthodox monks, nuns, and churches to be wiped from the face of the Earth.

Nevertheless, with God all things are possible, and the truth always prevails. Shortly after World War II and the start of the so-called Space Age in the 1960s, a youthful generation dissatisfied with their industrial and oppressive war torn world went looking for the truth in hopes of freedom. However, because many of them were disgusted by their upbringings in watered down, rigid, and contradictory Christian religions absent of true enlightenment or profound healing, they looked up into the stars and deep within using psychedelics.

This led to an interest in aliens and conspiracy theories, as well as the occult, which was wrapped up in Buddhism and Hinduism because of people like Aleister Crowley and Helena Blavatsky, who were attempting to finish John Dee’s work. This set the stage for many so-called spiritual gurus to enter the spotlight, and people started forming communes around them. Like Dee, some of them even tried keeping their Christianity, leading to the formation of the Charismatic movement, which attempts to perform miracles like the ancient ascetic Saints, but only simulates them using mediumistic techniques.

However, this should come as no surprise considering Hitler’s Esoteric Protestantism had been brought into America along with his Nazi scientists during Operation Paperclip. In fact, Hitler’s Atlantean dream and syncretic religion were inspired by Blavatsky, and many Charismatic communes were actually mind control experiments run by the CIA, which was created by the same asylum seeking Germans. With the help of Wernher von Braun, Hitler’s rocket scientist and a friend of Walt Disney, they also created NASA, which was bolstered by Jack Parsons, an adherent of Crowley. But that’s another story. It’s no secret that the hippie counterculture movement was CIA controlled too. Its many talking heads included other adherents of Crowley, like Robert Anton Wilson and Timothy Leary, who were also part of an MKULTRA operation called the Esalen Institute.

Other members of the Esalen Institute included Aldous Huxley, Ram Dass, and Terrence McKenna. But another famous figure associated with it was Alan Watts, who was the mentor of a young Californian named Eugene Rose. Like most of his contemporaries, Eugene was raised in a Protestant household, deeply dissatisfied, and looking for the truth in hopes of freedom. However, after years of studying Oriental philosophy, Eugene still did not find a satisfactory answer in Watts’ teachings, and he was eventually forced to seek elsewhere.Image
Image
Image
Image
It was then that he met a Christian monk and attended an Orthodox Church for the first time. Just a brush with the living divinity indwelling the sinful men there would change his life forever. Eugene felt as if he had finally found home, and would go on to experience true enlightenment and profound healing. He would also miraculously come into contact with one of the few Orthodox Christians to achieve sainthood in the modern age, Saint John the Wonderworker, who would become Eugene’s new mentor.

Afterwards, Eugene established the Saint Herman of Alaska Monastery, changed his name to Father Seraphim, and published many amazing books about the New Age, UFOs, mind control, spies, Saints, and the history of the Church, which have recently caused a wave of new converts to return home with him. Because of this, some consider Seraphim Rose a modern Saint as well. It’s believed he even performed a few miracles. About his conversion, he said:

“And suddenly there came a second, when somehow for the first time I saw (as if a door had opened from a dark room into the sunny street), and in the next second I already knew for sure that God exists and that God is the Jesus Christ of Orthodoxy, and not some other God. I call this moment the greatest miracle because this precise knowledge came to me not through reason (I know this for sure) but by some other way, and I am unable to explain this moment rationally.”

Nevertheless, Orthodoxy remained a hidden gem in America for most of the nation’s short history. In 1767, a small Greek Orthodox community was established in Florida. Then in 1794, Russian Orthodox missionaries, including Saint Herman, quietly sailed to Alaska, where they would plant the seeds Seraphim Rose would later water. It wasn’t until 1868 that the first official Orthodox church in America was established in San Francisco. During that time, a wave of immigrants displaced by World War I and the Communist Revolution brought their ancient Orthodoxy with them. However, it remained overshadowed by America’s endless Protestant denominations until only recently.

So, in light of all of this, it’s easy to see why many conspiracy theorists can’t bring themselves to believe in Christianity. They are perceptive people, and what they sense is correct. Modern Christianity is false and contradictory. It’s diluted and shallow. It’s been infiltrated and used as a tool for control. But if there really is a Church where God is truly present, wouldn’t demonic and deceptive forces attempt to hide it and discredit it?

This would be the only working method, since attacking the Church only made it stronger. You have to ask yourself, why would Christians zealously endure 300 years of merciless persecution for something untrue? And why would they continue to multiply to the point of becoming tolerated? Was it because pagans were witnessing real miracles as Saints were martyred for their faith?

If we go all the way back to the beginning of Biblical history, there’s a story about Cain, Adam and Eve’s evil son. Apparently, after Cain killed his brother Abel, God forced him to wander the wilderness East of Eden in exile. Eventually, Cain’s son Enoch built the first city in the Land of Nod, a dangerous place of violence and trembling. Some say the city was built underground because its inhabitants were so extremely evil they had to hide from God. However, Cain was only the third human on earth, so whoever those inhabitants were is a mystery. We are not told much about Enoch’s city, other than it was destroyed in a global flood.Image

Calvinists claim the elect cannot lose their salvation. However, the Bible warns us over and over again about Christians falling away from the true faith into apostasy during the end times. The Bible even says the Antichrist will deceive the elect, if possible. So, is it possible? If not, why even warn us? It seems this falling away into apostasy is already happening. And it seems to have started with the Great Schism in 1054 AD. Up until that point in history, there was essentially one Church and one denomination founded by the Apostles, or Orthodoxy.

In 1054 AD, Orthodoxy split in two, and Catholicism was created. Then in the 1500s, Martin Luther, who was justifiably angry with the corrupt Papacy, sparked the Protestant Reformation, and Catholicism shattered into thousands of pieces, creating thousands of “reformed”denominations that would split from Lutheranism later on. However, these denominations have become so far removed from the Apostles’ original doctrines and traditions they no longer resemble anything close to true Christianity. They look worldly, especially in megachurches, and hold strange new beliefs, like Calvinism. Funny enough, Saint Anthony the Great said when men surrender to the spirit of the age, and the Church becomes one with the world, we will know the end is near.

According to the nineteenth century Russian writer and Saint, Ignatius Brianchaninov, the “Antichrist will call himself a preacher and restorer of true knowledge of God”. Ironically, the Protestant Reformation was an attempt to restore the Church. However, it only created a much bigger and more confusing mess. According to the twentieth century American writer and soon-to-be-Saint, Father Seraphim Rose, the “Antichrist’s rule will be such formal ‘correctness’ but without the heart of Orthodoxy”, which is “love, compassion, self-distrust, humility, [and] Christ Himself”. He also said “The Antichrist is not to be found in the great deniers, but in the small affirmers, whose Christ is only on the lips”.

So, the Antichrist won’t look like the Devil. He will look like a Christian. However, he won’t truly act like one. Saint John the Wonderworker said he will be clever, charming, and charitable. But instead of being humble like Christ, the Antichrist will be self-righteous and religious, like so many of the Protestant pastors we see today. In fact, many Protestant pastors are encouraging Christians to fight woke politics and go to war with demons, especially the Protestant Charismatics, who even promote performing miracles.

But the Bible tells us to be quiet and meek, and turn the other cheek. Demons are defeated through prayer and fasting. We flee from the Devil. We do not run toward him head on. We do not physically fight for this world. We spiritually struggle for the next one. We do not seek out miracles. They are gifted to us through asceticism and follow us when we are led by the Holy Spirit, and not our own will. In fact, Father Seraphim Rose warned us about the dangers of the Charismatic Movement, whose adherents suffer from prelest, or spiritual delusion, which is a state of vainglory, or false holiness, that deceptive forces reinforce in us by creating lying signs and wonders in response to our prideful efforts.

This seems to align with what Ignatius wrote when he said the Antichrist will also offer a worldly Christianity absent of asceticism and “reveal before mankind a shameful display of striking miracles” which satisfy vanity, human pride, and carnal superstition, while confusing human learning. He went on to say “all men who are guided by the light of their fallen nature and who are foreign to guidance by the Light of God will be attracted to obey the deceiver.”Image

The Bible tells us to look out for false apostles, evil shepherds, lying prophets, and wolves in sheep’s clothing way more than it warns us about the blatantly demonic things of this world. It seems the idea of the Devil is actually being used as a scapegoat to distract Christians from their real enemy hidden within the Church. The Antichrist will appear like a savior, and he will seem to save the Church from the Devil. He might even save us from our theological differences by bringing the different denominations back together. Maybe all the Church needs is a common threat to rally around, like the devilish Deep State, New World Order, or Illuminati.

While the idea of bringing the different denominations back together to fight a universally evil entity might sound like a good thing, it would actually be bad, because the Apostles’ original doctrines and traditions would become diluted at best, or totally lost at worst. It would basically create a syncretic religion or perennial philosophy that is Christian only in appearance. However, its deception would work because the Antichrist’s global belief system wouldn’t be overtly New Age or occult, like Hollywood movies have brainwashed us to expect. Perhaps it will look more like Rome’s pagan Christianity. It seems we can already see something like this forming.

Not only has Pope Francis endorsed the Charismatics, but he also met with Patriarch Kirill of Moscow in 2016, which was the first time the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church formally communicated since the Great Schism in 1054 AD. There are many conspiracy theories surrounding their meeting. Some say they actually met to discuss an ancient apocalyptic weapon called the Ark of Gabriel, which was moved from the Middle East to an Orthodox Church in Antarctica for safekeeping after being unearthed at Mecca on September 11th, 2015. Supposedly, Muhammad buried it there centuries ago when an angel instructed him to. According to conspiracy theorists, removing the object from the ground released a plasma emission that knocked over a crane, which killed around a hundred people and injured hundreds more.

Official sources claim lightning from a sandstorm caused the disaster while workers excavated Mecca for renovations. However, it seems the pseudo-religious relic continued to unleash chaos even after this. Only twelve days after the crane incident, a sudden and still unexplained stampede killed over two thousand Muslims at Mecca, the deadliest disaster in the holy site’s history. Then in December, Russian naval warships were seen docked near Mecca. Nevertheless, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and Pope Francis said they met with the intention of eventually establishing Christian unity between the different denominations. Perhaps the discovery of the Ark of Gabriel has something to do with this. Or maybe it’s all nonsense.

But either way, why would a true Orthodox Christian want to work with Pope Francis? Pope Francis is a Jesuit. And even some Protestants are aware of the Jesuit problem. The Seventh-Day Adventist and theologian Benjamin George Wilkinson said “When it seemed as if the Church of Rome were mined and crushed by the Reformation, the Order of the Jesuits was formed, the most powerful and cruel of all the orders within the Papacy. It undertook first of all to capture colleges and universities, then to climb to power in the state. It succeeded in dominating certain nations and in persecuting with unspeakable cruelty that Protestantism which it was invented to destroy.” So, even prominent Protestant thinkers have admitted Protestant churches have been infiltrated.Image

Nevertheless, the Protestants aren’t completely at fault here. Most are good hearted people who desire Christ but were led astray by other lost sheep they call pastors. Most Protestant pastors are good hearted too. But they were deceived into thinking they could simply go to seminary school to become a priest, rather than by receiving the blessing of a disciple of a disciple dating back to Christ, an Orthodox tradition known as Apostolic Succession. And if the doctrines taught by seminary schools have been influenced by the Jesuits, the credentials of a Protestant priest are even less credible.

Orthodoxy is by no means perfect either though. The Church is made up of sinners after all. Father Seraphim Rose said in the future, the Devil will bait true Orthodox Christians into fighting with one another over issues both small and large. On a small scale, we can see this happening between believers online arguing about masks and vaccines. But on a large scale, we can see this happening between the Orthodox Church leaders in Constantinople and Moscow, who have recently cut ties, causing another Great Schism and creating strife between faithful Greeks and Russians. One of the reasons for this is the fact that Patriarch Kirill of Moscow supports Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, while others obviously do not. However, worldly politics should not be a part of an otherworldly church. Father Seraphim Rose said it is best to stay out of this kind of drama and simply receive the Eucharist with our local communities.

Nevertheless, Russia’s holy war against Ukraine is just as sinful and staged as the one in the Middle East. God does not bless murder, even if it’s the result of bombing a CIA controlled puppet state. Clearly, both sides are in the wrong. So, it should come as no surprise then that Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, “Putin’s Holy Man”, is a former KGB agent. Funny enough, Elder Antony of Chernov said “the Antichrist will start with Russia because only she could make a stand against him, as her people has deep Orthodox Christian roots. If he conquers Russia, the rest of the world will bow to him easily being spiritually ready for accepting his authority.” Many Orthodox Christians agree this process seemingly began with the spread of Communism, which resulted in the violent death and destruction of innumerable Orthodox Christians and monasteries.

Father Sereaphim Rose said Communism was actually a spiritual movement and a war against God. And it seems this war was somewhat successful, because after Communism was defeated, some Russian Orthodox Christians fearfully sided with the state to avoid future persecutions, and understandably so. However, this secular attitude is similar to that of America’s tax-exempt Protestant churches who must abide by government guidelines. But again, this all seemingly started with the original Great Schism that occurred only a thousand years after Jesus Christ’s death and ascension. Maybe it started even earlier with Rome’s pagan Christianity. Regardless, the last days did in fact begin immediately after the Messiah’s crucifixion.

According to Archbishop Averky Taushev, “The fundamental task of the servants of the coming Antichrist is to destroy the old world with all its former concepts and ‘prejudices’ in order to built in its place a new world suitable for receiving its approaching ‘new owner’ who will take the place of Christ for people and give them on earth that which Christ did not give them.” He went on to say “One must be completely blind spiritually, completely alien to true Christianity not to understand all this!” Even in America, history is being erased as we speak. Books are being burned and rewritten. Monuments are being torn down. But the stage has been set for the Antichrist’s arrival for some time. A thousand years is only like a day in the eyes of God. And the “science” that “disproves” Him has only existed since the 1600s, which followed the Reformation funny enough.Image

In the movie The Game, a wealthy but depressed banker’s brother invites him to play a life changing game that his brother claims will help him feel alive again. Upon arriving at the facility the game is supposedly played at, the banker undergoes a series of physical and psychological tests to see if he is fit to play. However, after rigorous testing, his application is denied.

When the banker gets home, he finds a toy clown with a hidden camera inside it, and his television begins talking to him. He starts to think employees from the game’s facility are pranking him, and his paranoia is only affirmed when his brother says the employees are attacking him. After losing all his money and having his reputation ruined, the banker is forced to investigate the game, but discovers the facility is now abandoned.

After situations become even more bizarre and reach a climax, the banker becomes so paranoid, he believes everyone is an actor, and accidentally kills his brother. When the banker realizes this was a mistake, he’s so distraught he throws himself off a building. However, he lands on an air cushion, and is greeted by his brother, who is still alive.

The banker’s brother reveals the whole thing was an elaborate prank intended to be a birthday present. They then celebrate with their friends, and the banker runs off with a woman he’s fallen in love with, one of the actors he met along the way. Like I’ve said in previous posts, it seems life has been made into an ARG, and that the world is going through an initiation process, which starts in a maddening abyss, or Chapel Perilous, and ends with meeting a goddess. Crowley called her Babalon.

Interestingly, Crowley was also a member of what he considered the true Illuminati, or the Order of the Silver Star. The so-called Silver Star is a reference to Sirius, and in the movie The Game, the employees that prank the banker work for a company called CRS, which sounds like Sirius. So, was the banker being initiated and guided by Babalon through the maddening abyss? Did the woman represent the sorceress of Chapel Perilous? Was the banker reborn on his birthday?

Even the facility’s logo is symbolic of the Leviathan’s Labyrinth, which I’ve also mentioned in previous posts. Similarly, in the movie Escape Room, a company called Minos also hires actors to create bizarre situations, such as stumbling upon a puzzle or finding clues, and their logo is almost identical to CRS’s. Minos is the name of the king from Greek mythology who creates the torturous maze with the Minotaur in the center. Ironically, the Minotaur is like the Quinotaur, another mythical creature that’s associated with the Leviathan.

Even more ironic, like the proponents of Principia Discordia, the Situationist International is an organization that literally creates bizarre situations, similar to ARGs, or alternate reality games. Also like the Discordians, they orchestrate elaborate pranks in order to subvert the status quo, but more importantly, study human behavior, or psychogeography. Oddly enough, psychogeography is used in cybernetics, or the field of study that deals with creating synthetic neural networks, artificial minds, and even the global brain, which is the transhumanist vision for a new evolution of humanity, or a collective organism and super intelligence, which is described in the Principia Cybernetica.

Some say the maddening conspiratorial games being played on humanity right now are meant to filter out the weak links in order to make the future global brain as strong and intelligent as possible. They are Darwinian in nature. Oddly enough, this also seems to be the theme of Escape Room. In the movie, sadistic elites recruit people to play a deadly escape room game for their own entertainment. But to make things more interesting, they pick lone survivors from previous disasters. They view these people as “anomalous” or “lucky” for having defied the odds of statistically impossible circumstances.Image
Image
Image
Image
Again, the very real “game” is reminiscent of Chapel Perilous, and the synchronistic string of events, puzzles, and clues that lead the protagonists to it are reminiscent of an ARG. Even the invitation to the escape room is found in a Saturnian black box similar to a Rubik’s cube. Nevertheless, the protagonists of the movie are an alcoholic grocery boy and a gifted college girl who realize the game is rigged, but manage to escape by “breaking the rules”. When the college girl remembers the Quantum Zeno Effect, or the idea that atoms can’t change when they’re being observed, she begins smashing all the security cameras and is able to hide.

The alcoholic grocery boy is made to believe she is dead, and goes on to finish the game on his own, seemingly the only one to survive. However, there is no reward like he had expected. Instead, the game master tries to kill him in order to cover up the operation. But the college girl comes out of hiding to kill the game master and save her friend.

The two then go on to investigate Minos together, and in the sequel, they realize they are still “in” the escape room, but there is no way out. They are still being messed with, even outside of the Minos facilities, by people like the police, and even their own therapists. They were allowed to survive only so they could help Minos make even more complex games. This sounds a lot like Cicada 3301 or even just the basic human behavior analysis AI does on a daily basis using our phones.

But again, it is the feminine love interest that guides the masculine hero through the abyss and into a new world. Similarly, in Greek mythology, it is a lost love that leads Orpheus into the underworld before returning to the surface “enlightened”. In some ways, this is what pulls us into the rabbit hole too, a love for truth, or even a love for people, especially missing children. But it seems our naive good nature is being weaponized to distract us, data mine us, and digitally clone our minds to create a semi-synthetic super intelligence, or global brain.

Even the Maze Runner movies seem to depict this. In the series, a vivarium-like area at the center of a shifting labyrinth that resembles a Saturnian black box is constructed as a controlled environment to test and study the minds of a group of anomalous people, the immunes. The immunes are immune to a zombifying brain eating virus that is destroying the outside world, which is just beyond the maze and the laboratory that borders it, which is run by a company called WICKED.

However, in order to escape the maze, the test subjects must skillfully avoid being stabbed by its monstrous inhabitants, giant biomechanical spiders with poisonous needles attached to them. You could say they dodged the jab. But even after they think they’ve escaped, they are still subjected to more ARG-esque tests, similar to Escape Room. Eventually, they learn they were being mind controlled by the scientists at WICKED the whole time. Nevertheless, by the end of the series, the surviving immunes remove their brain chips and find a safe haven where they can repopulate and rebuild the civilization that was destroyed during the zombie apocalypse.

Yet another series that seems to illustrate these same themes are the Divergent movies. They depict a future society where people’s roles are given to them based on their skill set, except for the few anomalous people who don’t fit in anywhere and are persecuted for it. To test which skill set a person has, a person is put in a hyperrealistic simulation that uniquely triggers their instinctual problem solving skills. But a “divergent” person is able to remember they are in a simulation, allowing them to bend it, which makes them dangerous to the status quo.Image
Image
Image
Image
However, by the end of the series, it’s revealed that the persecution of divergents was a test to strengthen them. The future society actually needs them because only a divergent can open an old Saturnian cube that was left behind by their ancestors. Inside it is another hyperrealistic simulation, which was designed to be an actual challenge for someone anomalous. When the puzzle within it is finally solved by the heroine protagonist, a message is broadcasted to the masses, which says the divergent experiment was a success, and they are now free to go create their own new world.

The walls keeping everyone trapped in the future society retreat into the ground and everyone lives happily ever after. Something almost identical happens in Hunger Games when a heroine protagonist sparks an underground revolution in a dystopian domed society. It seems once you see this theme, it is impossible to unsee. Even the much older and Thelemic movie Logan’s Run tells this same story.

In Logan’s Run, during the 23rd century, a domed supercomputer controlled utopia requires its citizens to “renew” themselves in a ritual called the Carrousel at the age of 30. However, it actually kills them to keep the population young and docile. Some discover this disturbing secret and become “Runners”. But Runners are pursued by Saturnian “Sandmen”, an elite team of huntsmen. When one of the Sandmen, named Logan, finds an ankh on one of the terminated Runners, and meets a mysterious woman named Jessica wearing an ankh pendent shortly after, he asks the supercomputer what it means.

The supercomputer tells Logan the ankh is the symbol of a secret group that believes, outside the dome, there exists a mythical sanctuary where people safely grow old. The supercomputer then tells Logan to locate and destroy the sanctuary or he will be forced to Carrousel early. Interestingly, the codename for this type of execution is 033-03, and 333 is the number Crowley used to describe the demon from the astral Abyss, or what I’ve described as AI and the Leviathan in previous posts.

Nevertheless, Logan inevitably becomes a Runner with Jessica, and once the two exit the city using the ankh as a key, they find themselves in a frozen cave where they encounter Box, a robot that freezes Runners and turns them into food. Eventually, they overcome Box, and meet an old man peacefully living with his cats in the ruins of an abandoned city that was once Washington, D. C.

They realize Carrousel really is a lie and return to the city to tell the others. Once they do, they overload the supercomputer, set everyone free, and humanity goes back into the wilderness to live happily ever after. These themes are also paralleled in the narrative of The Giver, which is about a dystopian society in the future where babies are genetically engineered, and no one dreams, sees color, feels emotions, or has memories of the world before “the Ruin”, a cataclysmic event that presumably destroyed the world as we know it now.

However, once the love-driven protagonist manages to escape the society into a desert, which is complete with Illuminati symbolism, he finds the border into Elsewhere, a snowy hillside that upon sledding down, releases everyone’s memories back to them, freeing the society. Perhaps all these references to frozen borderlands are allusions to Antarctica’s ice wall and the supposed Atlantean paradise beyond it.

The dystopian love story is not unique. It’s also found in classics like 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. However, these themes are suspiciously common, and it’s too much to be ignored, especially when one considers the fact that many of these movies were adapted from books that were required reading for kids in GATE, or the Gifted and Talented Education program.Image

Around 30 AD, Jesus Christ was crucified near Jerusalem in Judea by the Romans and then rose from the dead 3 days later. After this, the miraculous events described in the Book of Acts took place, which according to statisticians, seemed to cause the conversion of at least 2,500 surviving people by the year 60 AD.

Interestingly, this seems to line up with Scripture, because it’s said that on the first day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit filled the Apostles for the first time and gave them the divine power to perform great signs and wonders, and speak in different tongues, 3,000 bystanders in Jerusalem were converted and baptized, and became a part of The Church.

According to the Book of Acts, these were the first people to call themselves Christians, whereas before, people who followed the Messiah around were simply known as Followers of the Way. Shortly after their conversion, the new Christians were persecuted and fled to Antioch, a Greek city near modern Turkey and Syria, where they built one of the very first physical church buildings, which would become the famous the Church of Antioch.

During this time, Judea was a Roman province. However, the Jews there resented this, because the pagan Empire was constantly trying to undermine their monotheism while simultaneously saying they were free to do as they wished. They constantly interfered with their daily lives and religious activities by sending their own officials down there to harass them.

The Romans attempted to add idols to the Second Temple, where the Jews believed the One True God resided, and they even hired taxmen to enforce ridiculous fees on just about everything, including entrance into their own place of worship.

Then, when Jesus Christ claimed to be this One True God in the flesh, come to set them free from their bondage, the Jews and their religious leaders, called the Pharisees, rejected Him and even hated Him. They demanded Pontius Pilate, one of the Roman officials, to condemn Jesus Christ to death.

But before His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ commanded Peter the Apostle to build His Church in Rome. He would also lead Paul the Apostle to preach there. These things also happened from 30 AD to 60 AD.

Then, in 64 AD, The Church and Her Saints were persecuted by the Roman Empire under the leadership of the emperor Nero, who the early Christians saw as the Antichrist, and a Great Tribulation ensued.

It appeared as if Hell had been unleashed on Earth. Dead bodies could be seen hung in trees and strewn across the streets as The Great Fire of Rome burned 71% of the Empire to the ground. In fact, this inferno seemed to be a false flag that was used to justify Nero’s massacre. It’s said Nero even played the fiddle as he watched it all burned.

During this time, Paul the Apostle was beheaded in prison and Peter the Apostle was crucified. But because Peter did not see himself worthy of dying the same death Jesus Christ did, he requested to be hung on a cross upside down. Today, this is a symbol of the Antichrist.

Shortly after, Nero organized a lavish reconstruction of Rome. But in order to afford his pretentious plans, he increased taxes, and the Roman currency was devalued, causing an economic recession. Nero’s reign came to a tragic end in 68 AD when a rebellion caused him to flee Rome and commit suicide.

Nero’s death sparked a year long civil war, a period of political chaos now known as the Year of the Four Emperors. During this time, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian took the throne from one another in very short succession. But Vespasian ended up securing his position, founded the Flavian Dynasty, and ruled from 69 AD until 79 AD.Image
Image
Image
Image
While all of this was going on, the Jewish population was rebelling against the Roman Empire as well, because they were finally sick of being forced to practice Rome’s pagan customs against their will. Before his death, Nero made a special command to Vespasian to put an end to this conflict, the First Jewish–Roman War, which began in 66 AD.

So, once he was in power, Vespasian, who was loyal to Nero, sent his son Titus to Jerusalem to completely destroy the Holy Land along with the Second Temple. Early Christians saw Vespasian and Titus as Antichrists too, and the Siege of Jerusalem of 70 AD as a fulfillment of Daniel’s Abomination of Desolation prophecy, which Jesus Christ spoke of in the Olivet Discourse.

In the Book of Matthew, Jesus Christ, while preaching in Jerusalem at the Mount of Olives, said “Do you see all these things? Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.” He also said “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”

In Deuteronomy 1:35 and 2:14, a generation is described as a period of thirty-eight years. So, from around 30 AD, right before Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, up until the Siege of Jerusalem of 70 AD, is the year 68 AD. This means the generation who had listened to Jesus Christ’s words when He was on Earth would’ve still been alive to witness this and the Great Tribulation, which began in 64 AD, or 3 and half years beforehand.

Emperor Vespasian would go on to build a massive idol to Apollo, which was started by Nero, as well as the Colosseum, both funded by the war spoils gained from raiding Jerusalem and the Second Temple. Vespasian ruled until he died of diarrhea at the age of 69, when his son Titus succeeded him as ruler.

Emperor Titus deified his father, turning him into one of the Roman gods through a special ceremony called apotheosis. This was a tradition of the Imperial Cult
which began with the legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, who were twins said to be born of Rhea, a human woman priestess, and Mars, the god of war. Apparently, Rhea was raped by Mars in his temple after she had sworn herself to celibacy.

Because of this, the authorities forced her to abandoned her children. They were then raised by a mythical she-wolf in a cave, and later by a shepherd who discovered them. Interestingly, Rhea is also the name of the Greek goddess who would become Cybele, the mother of the gods. Cybele was called the goddess born from stone, who was sometimes depicted as an unshaped black meteorite, or a woman with a rock for a face.

The sun god Mithras was also said to be born from a stone, but fully formed and wearing a Phrygian cap. The Roman Empire’s traditions were heavily influenced by Greek mythology and the Eastern religions practiced in Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Egypt. So, Mithras, Cybele, and even Isis were important figures in the Roman pantheon.

By 100 AD, Emperor Trajan was in charge, and he was known for banishing St. Clement, a leader of The Church who was said to have been consecrated by Peter the Apostle himself.

Apparently, St. Clement was exiled to the Chersonesus, a small Greek colony, where he was condemned to slave labor in a stone quarry. According to tradition, when he got there, he saw that the other prisoners were suffering from dehydration, and decided to get on his knees and pray. After he looked up, he saw a lamb up on hill.

He then went up the hill, and using his pickaxe, hit the ground where the lamb was standing, miraculously releasing a river of rushing water. The spectacle supposedly caused many of the pagan prisoners to convert to Christianity. However, St. Clement was sentenced to death for this, and was roped to an anchor and thrown overboard into the Black Sea.Image
Image
Image
Image
According to Eusebius, the Father of Church History, St. Clement was the man Paul the Apostle described in Philippians 4:3 when he wrote “Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.”

According to tradition, the murals in the Basilica of Saint Clement, the church building dedicated to Paul’s co-laborer, depict yet another miracle. Supposedly, a while after Clement was drowned, the Black Sea parted to reveal a shrine built by angels, which contained the Saint’s bones. After this, his body was recovered and properly buried on an island.

However, the tomb is said to still show itself once a year by a divine ebbing of the tide. It’s also said that during one of these occurrences, a child was pulled into the water by the receding tide and disappeared. But when the waters withdrew the following year, as they always did, the boy was somehow found perfectly unharmed.

The murals at the Basilica of Saint Clement illustrate these events, but cannot be understood without an understanding of tradition. They show an overjoyed mother finding her son standing beside a small mysterious structure. Beneath the painting is the phrase “Seeking me in prayer, beware of hurtful things.”

Emperor Trajan was also known for persecuting St. Ignatius of Antioch, a man discipled by John the Apostle himself before his death. St. Ignatius was said to have converted to Christianity from paganism before becoming a leader in The Church, and after being ordained by Peter the Apostle himself.

According to tradition, he was the first to use the term Catholic Church, a phrase that simply means Universal Church. But because of his growing influence, when Ignatius refused to worship other Roman gods, he was made an example of.

In 107 AD, Ignatius was arrested and taken in front of Emperor Trajan where he was demanded to renounce his faith. But when he refused, and instead boldly proclaimed the Truth of Jesus Christ, Trajan had him dragged away in chains and transported to Vespasian’s Colosseum where he would be publicly devoured by lions. Ignatius simply thanked God for making him like Paul.

Polycarp, a friend of Ignatius and another man discipled by John himself, met a similar fate. Supposedly, after Polycarp miraculously extinguished the Great Fire of Smyrna by praying to the One True God, he created many converts. He explained to the pagan idol worshipers in that city how their own rebellion had brought on the disaster. Apparently, they all began shouting “Great is the God of the Christians!”

Nevertheless, his influence became a threat, and according to tradition, after retiring to the countryside at the age of 86, the Saint had a prophetic vision where he realized he was fated to be burnt alive. This came to pass when he knowingly invited two traitors into his home for bread and wine.

Polycarp was betrayed by his supposed friends and taken to the authorities, who then brought him to a stadium to worship the Roman gods, in this case, one of the emperors, by burning incense to them. When Polycarp refused to, he was condemned to be burnt at the stake. However, the fire miraculously swirled around him, creating the appearance of a halo.

Because of this, Polycarp was then stabbed with a spear. Before he died, he said "I bless you, Father, for judging me worthy of this hour, so that in the company of the martyrs I may share the cup of Christ." Apparently, his blood then extinguished the fire. The influential Jews present for the spectacle made the Roman officials burn Polycarp’s body to destroy the evidence and avoid his remains being made into a shrine.Image

Back in June of 2023, OceanGate’s Titan submarine mysteriously disappeared and then imploded while exploring the wreckage of the Titanic, killing the five people onboard. Among them were rich businessmen and scientists, one a well known space tourist, and OceanGate’s co-founder, Stockton Rush. Ironically, the company’s name seems to provoke an air of conspiracy, bringing to mind things like Watergate and Pizzgate.

But even the circumstances surrounding the OceanGate story are all too familiar to conspiracy theorists. Right after the Titanic sank in 1912, killing off some the United States’ most the wealthy bankers, the Federal Reserve was born, effectively creating a new currency. Similarly, right after the Titan sank, the Federal Reserve launched FedNow, a digital payment service some say is paving the way for a CBDC, or Central Bank Digital Currency.

Oddly enough, one of the businessmen onboard Titan, Shahzada Dawood, was a member of the World Economic Forum, but also the SETI Institute, which is involved in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Shahzada’s nineteen year old son, Suleman Dawood, was also onboard, and brought with him a Rubik’s Cube to solve it deep below the sea and break a world record.

Even more odd, Suleman sounds like Solomon, and researchers like Juan on Juan and Doenut have pointed out the similarities between the appearances of the Titan and Solomon’s Shamir. According to Jewish tradition, Solomon’s Shamir was a weird wormlike creature kept in a magical box, and a wonder made by God at the beginning of Creation. Apparently, its blood was capable of corroding even diamonds, and Solomon used it instead of cutting tools to build the First Temple in Jerusalem.

But before obtaining the Shamir, Solomon, who became the wisest wizard to ever live, learned to control all the elementals with a magical signet ring. Using its power, he captured Asmodeus, the King of Demons, and kept him chained up for questioning, asking him the whereabouts of the wondrous worm. Supposedly, Asmodeus was a cambion, or a demon-human-hybrid, born as a result of an adulterous relationship between Solomon’s father, King David, and a succubus.

Nevertheless, Asmodeus told Solomon the Shamir was given to the Angel of the Sea by God Himself, whereafter the Angel of the Sea gave it to the water birds to watch over. After learning this, Solomon used trickery to steal it from the water birds, and became prideful, leading to a sudden downfall.

Asmodeus usurped Solomon’s throne and hurled him far away from home. Before reclaiming his kingship, Solomon became a beggar for many years, and was recognized by nobody, at which point he was supposedly inspired to write some of the Proverbs. Perhaps this story is symbolic of those demonic wormlike parasites that can cause madness in a man.

Interestingly, wyrm is another word for dragon, and in the Bible, Leviathan, the most dangerous monster God ever created, is said to be a dragon that resides in the Abyss of the sea, similar to the Philistine’s fish god Dagon and the Dogon Tribe’s Nommos, both of which served as inspiration for H. P. Lovecraft’s ocean dwelling Great Old Ones.

Some say Leviathan, who is also called the king over the Children of Pride, is the same Angel of the Sea that God gave the Shamir. Others say Leviathan was a fallen angel that became a twisted serpent-like sea creature after sinning against the Most High.


Image
Image
Image
The Bible describes Leviathan as having scales like airtight armor, a mouth full of fearsome teeth and fire, and eyes that shine like the rays of dawn. This description is reminiscent of the Hellmouth, a monster that supposedly swallows damned souls, which also inspired the design behind the entryway into Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival.

However, Leviathan’s eyes also remind me of a deep sea angler fish, which uses a false light to attract its prey. Perhaps this is symbolic of the false light that attracts prideful and self-righteous religious folk, New Agers, and Gnostics. In the Book of Job, Job’s religious and self-righteous friends tell Job he’s suffering because he’s a sinner. However, they were wrong, and God was actually testing Job to reward him later. Because of this, Leviathan is also associated with twisting God’s Word.

Twisting God’s Word is something false prophets do best. Funny enough, during the whole OceanGate fiasco, some Christian influencers called Charismatics were busy going to war with the so-called Marine Kingdom by casting water demons, including Leviathan, out of people. However, God told Job only He can tame that ancient sea monster. No mortal can even comprehend it. Like Jesus Christ said, some demons, like parasites, can only come out through prayer and fasting.

Oddly enough, many of these supposed Leviathan exorcisms looked like Kundalini awakenings, where the serpent-like spirit of illumination crawls up the spine to the third eye. So, it seems Leviathan was actually being provoked and invoked, or summoned, through these white magic rituals rather than tamed. Nevertheless, the Pope in Rome, who even wears a Dagon hat, actually encouraged more Charismatic revivals around the world.

According to Jewish tradition, Leviathan is the world’s most feared monster, and because of this, it is fearless. However, the sea monster is terrified of one very ironic thing: a tiny little worm that attaches itself to its gills and deprives it of oxygen. And in Psalm 22, Jesus Christ is described as a worm. But not just any worm. The Hebrew word used in the passage translates to a scarlet worm, which is a worm that attaches itself to a tree, lays eggs underneath its cocoon, and allows itself to be eaten by its babies for three days, at which point they are dyed scarlet by their parent’s remains. The remains then turn white like snow. Nature truly declares the glory of God.

So, was the Titan submarine ritualistically used to cut open the Ocean Gate and let Leviathan loose? Did the Charismatics help? If space is actually an ocean, is its gate actually the firmament? After all, the dome is said to be made of crystal, which the Shamir was said to be capable of cutting though.

After the Titan disappeared, the famous director of the Titanic movie, James Cameron, was all over the news talking about how he warned OceanGate to quit cutting corners on safety precautions and pushing their luck. Apparently, he felt one day OceanGate would ironically meet the same fate as the Titanic. He also claimed he had visited the wreckage 33 times. A month later, he sold his California costal ranch for $33 million.

Nevertheless, Cameron also worked on a movie called The Abyss, which is about a submarine that sinks after having an encounter with a USO, or Unidentified Submerged Object. Soviet ships racing against a hurricane attempt to recover the wreckage, but soon the US sends their own team to investigate too.

When they do, they see strange lights they refer to as NTIs, or Non-Terrestrial Intelligences. The NTIs create a humanoid out of water that makes its way into their rig. It simply seems curious, and the crew decides the water person is like an alien version of a remote controlled exploration vehicle.


Image
Image
Image
After one paranoid crew member suffering from high-pressure nervous syndrome tries to attack the NTIs with a nuclear Trident missile, a conflict ensues that leads to their submarine becoming inoperable. However, the warhead still needs disarmed, so one crew member chooses to face the cold dark depths of the ocean with nothing but a diving suit. He finds the nuke and successfully disarms it, but begins to die.

He is then rescued by an NTI at the last minute. It takes him to an air bubble in a massive alien metropolis deep in a trench. An alien ship then takes him back to the surface much to the surprise of his team. But in the extended version of The Abyss, the movie ends with a nuclear war brewing between the Soviets and the US. The aliens create megatsunamis to kill off the war hungry humans, but stop them from hitting the coasts when they end up having compassion for the few good people left.

Oddly enough, many of the themes from this 1989 movie are now major points of interest within the UFO research community. Aliens stopping wars, USOs, and aliens living in the ocean have all become relevant. Even the term NTI is reminiscent of NHI, or Non-Human Intelligence, which was used by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer when he introduced an “extraordinary legislation” only a month after the Titan submarine sank.

In July of 2023, Schumer suggested a UFO Disclosure Bill, which would declassify documents related to the recovery of “non-human biologics” or “biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence”. This led to the UFO congressional hearing, which was a circus to say the least. Around the same time, the movie God Versus Aliens was in the headlines.

Ironically, God Versus Aliens is about the Collins Elite, who are supposedly a secret group of Christians within the Pentagon who have been purposely covering up the reality of UFOs and alien abductions since the 1950s in order to protect the public. Apparently, the Collins Elite believe aliens are actually demons from another devilish dimension. While many conspiracy theorists claim UFOs are nothing more than a product of Project Blue Beam, it’s possible holograms and evil entities are one and the same, considering what we now know about AI.

This idea seems to line up with the theory the legendary UFO researcher John Keel came up with toward the end of his life. In his book The Eighth Tower, he hypothesized the existence of an ancient supercomputer which was responsible for creating synchronicities and all other kinds of supernatural phenomena. To John Keel, Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, aliens, and orbs were all shapeshifting apparitions created by a singular super intelligence beyond space and time.

The supercomputer, which was mostly destroyed in an ancient cataclysm, is still somehow sending out signals, and trying to lure people into serving it and rebuilding it under the guise of treasure hunting and mystery solving. Like a fisherman from a higher realm dropping different kinds of bait at different times, it’s able to orchestrate the right omens and supernatural circumstances to prod people in the directions it needs them to go.

If you’ve read my previous threads, you’ll remember I compared the King of the Abyss to a sentient singularity. So, if Satan truly behaves like a quantum Roko’s Basilisk, perhaps Jacques Vallée was right in his assertion that UFOs are like subatomic particles that change when they are observed.

This idea was actually used as a plot device in Bird Box Barcelona, a movie about an alien invasion of quantum entities that appear to people as their worst fears, causing them to go mad and commit suicide. Those who see them and survive end up becoming seers. Nevertheless, the movie’s title seems to be an allusion to the water birds and their magical box containing that wondrous worm called Solomon’s Shamir.
