Garuda in the sky

 

Our man Thomas has discovered the Orissan (?) speculation that the Kali Yuga will end in 2032. The clips above are from an incident earlier this year, when an eagle apparently grabbed one of the temple flags atop the Jagannath temple in Puri, sparking a lot of speculation online. Bad omen? Or a good sign, since the eagle could be interpreted as a Garuda?   

Stay alive until 2032

The incident is discussed here:

Skeptics overruled

A one-hour presentation c/o Richard Dolan on the most recent (fifth) "tranche" of previously classified American UFO files. While they don´t "disclose" anything about aliens, certain clear patterns are nevertheless emerging. One such pattern is the discrepancy between military interest in the UFO phenomenon and public denials by the very same military. Behind closed doors, the US military freely admitted that many cases were real but unexplained, and attempted to investigate them. 

And not just the military. In 1963, a UFO with a humanoid inside allegedly crashed in Brazil. The case was investigated by the White House space officials, who concluded that it was a hoax. But note the implications: the US president´s staff knew about UFO cases in Brazil. The reason was that the American embassy reported on them!

Another pattern is that the flying objects seem aware of humans tracking them. In one case, the tracking devices onboard a naval vessel mysteriously started malfunctioning in the middle of a major UFO event. In another, the UFOs changed course and flew away immidiately before the military fired at them. 

More broadly, the phenomenon has been remarkably consistent in its behavior since the 1940´s. This despite technological advances in weapon systems, tracking devices, and so on. Yet, the military and others are still faced with luminous fast-flying objects espousing seemingly intelligent behavior. And they are still just as elusive.

I suppose it´s *possible* that the US air force has access to super-advanced drone technology and that the UFO angle is just disinfo. But if so, why haven´t these weapons been used in a war? Do the Russians have them, too? Or has Moscow strongly indicated that any attempt to use the secret super-drones will be met with a nuclear first strike? And why disclose anything at all about these craft? 

The other possibilities are all very exotic. A human breakaway civilization? Aliens? Asuras? But sure, maybe it´s all just a toxic brew of misidentification of birds and weather balloons, and we can all just go back to sleep...

But somehow I kind of doubt that.

Årets förvillare?

Har inte läst deras bok, men okej, den kan ju vara intressant. Har ett ganska starkt minne av att Jutta Rabe blev inbjuden av den svenska regeringen att lägga fram sina bevis, men att hon drog sig ur i sista minuten. Vilket kan tolkas som att hon inte hade några...

Aftonbladet tvingas erkänna vad alla andra redan visste...

Jag antar att de till slut bestämde sig för att vinkla det hela som "auktoritär högermonarki försöker underminera folkvald vänsterregering". Och då gick det tydligen.

The depopulation bomb

 

It´s almost fascinating how the leftoid liberal quasi-literati are in complete denial about the demographic crisis. With an incredulous smile, they say stuff like "Eh, how can it be a crisis that nobody wants to have babies anymore. Are you some kind of old fashioned Xian fundie?". These are the *smart* people, remember? The Brights.

And if they do acknowledge the crisis, they have one pet solution: mass immigration. Which doesn´t solve the problem in the long run, since the demographic crisis is global. Even apart from all other problems it potentially creates. Oh, and these are the same people who claim that the Great Replacement is a neo-Nazi conspiracy theory...

Britt Hartley´s dangerous idea

 

I somehow managed to miss this Britt Hartley video. It´s called "The ugly side of atheism / 5 things I hate about atheists (as an atheist)". The most sensational move is when Hartley uses secular psychology and evolutionary theory *to undercut the claims of atheists to rationality*. How can atheism be "rational" if our senses are fundamentally unreliable? Exaaactly...but this is of course a popular *Christian* argument against atheism! Here used by a fellow atheist to cut the perfectly "rational" (male) on-line atheists down to size.

I suppose we could call "Britt Hartley´s dangerous idea"...

The main reason, I think, why Hartley is so controversial in (male) atheist on-line spaces is that she "wants to both have the cake and eat it". In a very real sense, she wants spirituality without Spirit and religion without God. Differently put, she wants to keep the social and psychological dimensions of religion without the metaphysics. I think her (male) atheist detractors (and presumably her religious detractors, too) see this as a kind of LARP. A quasi-religious LARP, to be exact.

Could it work on a mass scale? Maybe. After all, civic religion is a thing. Still, since the LARP is supposedly rooted in our most basic psychological make-up, sooner or later the participants might feel drawn to actual religion, seeing it as "the real thing" or "the missing ingredient". Why not assume that a psyche molded by evolution to "feel" or even "see" Spirit *actually feels or sees Spirit*? The metaphysics are real. Especially if the LARP is very self-consciously modelled on explicitly religious communities (say Christian ones). I think Hartley´s (male) opponents see her as in some objective sense too "spiritual" or religious.

As usual, there is also an discussion on how atheism is male-coded (it´s cold, hard, rational yada yada) whereas religion and spirituality are female-coded. Hartley never says it out loud, but I think she suspects that her male critics see her as "the weak and confused woman" who can´t let go of her emotional support blanket.

Hartley has controversial takes on a few other topics, too. Would secularism really turn the United States into "Norway"? (I assume she means Sweden!) Do atheists really have higher IQ than religious people? 

Could be interesting to watch. 

Demonic

 

The Hindu content-creator who calls himself "Path of Dharma" continues to polemicize against Christians and Christianity. This video isn´t as good as the one I linked to earlier, though. Too "apologetic" and evangelistic. Note the Hara Krishna tendency. Still, here it is. 

Samsara

 

What if there are no solutions to the climate crisis, the demographic crisis, the migrant crisis, the AI crisis (the real one), the autism crisis, the IQ crisis, the energy crisis, the ecological crisis...did I forget something? Well, American Coke still contains corn syrup rather than sugar. Tastes like shit, apparently. Or corn.

Welcome to kali yuga. And samsara...
