Vatican Taekwondo

Is this even true? Are you telling me that *Vatican City* has a women´s football team, a cricket team named after St Peter, and also competes in taekwondo?! Apparently, Pope Francis had a honorary 10th dan degree in taekwondo. An occasion for scandal, maybe?

SSPPXX

 


HA HA HA. The autistic lawyering of the SSPX is cringe as fuck, and essentially gay. There, I said it.

Mare Nostrum(?)

 


It seems "Unidentified Submerged Obejcts" or USOs aren´t as fringe as I assumed. Yes, it´s Richard Nolan again.

Who´s really in control of our oceans, anyway?

Im-Pope-ulär?

Märklig rubrik i Aftonbladet just nu: "Den nya högern har knappast en vän i påven". Nähä. Thanx for noticing...

I got your ass

 


Great Tartaria and the Mud Flood is one of the silliest conspiracy theories on-line, at least in its current iteration. The whole thing looks like a conscious parody of Erich von Däniken. Maybe it *is* a next level LARP? 

Däniken pointed to various ancient monuments *outside Europe* and wondered who could have built them. Aliens, maybe? The people who believe (or pretend to believe) in the Mud Flood point to modern Western architecture (sometimes as recent as the early or mid 20th century) and gasp in wonder. "Surely, only Giants could have built this?!" There is apparently a video on-line called "Tartarian Wales", which claims that the Cardiff Central Station must be the remnants of an unknown but very advanced civilization!

At the same time, there is *something* fascinating even about this utter insanity. It could be seen as a strange metaphor for the decline of modern civilization. The idea seems to be that we´re not smart enough to have built all the large buildings around us, and simply moved in when the original creators (the Giants) were wiped out in a mysterious cataclysm. Obviously, we have to deny this, claiming *we* built everything. Our entire civilization is really primitive and built on a gigantic lie - and we´re all in on it. 

This is a *very* distorted picture of the true state of affairs, isn´t it? Indeed, in 200 years, maybe something like this will be un-ironic orthodoxy among the few remaining savages...

50 years of the ICC

 

Not the ICC, for the record 

Last year, the zany International Communist Current (ICC) celebrated its 50th anniversary. Yes, really! The ICC was founded in 1975. Imagine accomplishing *absolutely nothing at all* in half a century. Except publishing weird magazines with interminable articles nobody actually reads. OK, the book about the history of the Italian Left was somewhat interesting. So was the agent-baiting and Mason-bashing during the 1990´s.

Personally, I don´t think the ICC will be around in 2075, but I suppose it´s not *entirely* impossible. The Bordigists and their eternal Communist party will of course be around still in 3000 AD...

Eurodisco heaven

 






Again, is this AI-generated? Sounds almost like real 80´s Euro-disco! Maybe some of it is...

Dragon Family

 


A footnote of sorts to the previous blog post on David Wilcock. So who was Neil Keenan, then? 

Is there a conspiracy theorist named Neil Keenan who tried to sue an alleged international banking cartel?

Yes, Neil Keenan is a central figure in one of the most sprawling and elaborate conspiracy theories in the world of "alternative finance" and exopolitics.

In November 2011, Keenan filed a legal complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case No. 11-cv-8500), claiming that a staggering $1 trillion (and later trillions more) in financial instruments had been stolen from him and a group known as the "Dragon Family."

1. The Core Narrative

Keenan’s story reads like a high-stakes thriller involving ancient Asian wealth and modern banking corruption:

  • The Bonds: He claimed he was entrusted by the "Dragon Family" (an alleged ancient, wealthy group in Asia) with Federal Reserve bonds and other financial instruments worth billions.

  • The Theft: He alleged these were stolen/seized in 2009 at the Italian-Swiss border (the "Chiasso incident") by individuals linked to the Office of International Treasury Control (OITC) and the World Economic Forum.

  • The Cartel: Keenan sued a massive list of entities including the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the Italian government, and various international banks, claiming they were part of a "banking cartel" or "cabal" using these stolen assets to fund a secret global government.

2. Connection to "The Alliance"

Keenan's narrative is a direct ancestor to the "Alliance" theories we discussed earlier:

  • He often spoke of Global Collateral Accounts—vast reserves of gold and wealth supposedly hidden in bunkers across Southeast Asia (particularly Indonesia).

  • He claimed he was working to "free" these accounts to provide humanity with free energy, debt jubilees, and new technologies, all while being protected by a secret "Alliance" of military and spiritual leaders.

3. The Outcome of the Lawsuit

Like many of these conspiracy-related legal challenges, the court case did not result in a trial or a payout:

  • The original lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by Keenan in 2012, reportedly so he could refile it with "stronger evidence" and more defendants.

  • It never successfully moved forward in a traditional court of law, but in the world of online discourse, it became a foundational myth. For his followers, the dismissal wasn't a failure, but proof of how "deep" the conspiracy went.

Avignon

 


Did the Trump administration threaten to declare war on the Vatican and overthrow Pope Leo? This is getting more and more absurd. Although I suspect these reckless statements were similar in character to Trump´s grandiose verbal attacks on Canada or Denmark. Who are still at large as of this moment. So I don´t think Leo needs to fear an Anti-Pope on the Potomac. Or in Avignon, for that matter.  

Confirmed: Trump admin threatened to overthrow papacy

A (probably correct) criticism of the Khazar theory. What a pity it´s written by an anti-Semite who wants to blame the *real* Jews for all of the world´s ills, but there you go. Of course, I´m so edgy that I linked to Keith Woods content several times before... 

Are modern Jews Khazars?

Dan Brown´s Inferno

 

Credit: Exotic Indian Art (?)

The first time I watched "Inferno", I didn´t like it. At all. The whole thing felt extremely unrealistic (even for a Dan Brown story). Or like an extended European-Turkish travel guide for American tourists with fake cultural sensibilities. I considered it the worst of the three Dan Brown-related films. I don´t remember the exact year I saw the movie, but I do have a guess.

It must have been before the COVID pandemic...

Today? Well, when I re-watched "Inferno" earlier tonight, it struck me as a documentary. At least more or less! Above all, the film feels post-COVID rather than 2016 (the actual release date). 

The plot revolves around a group of eco-terrorists who have developed a pathogen which can kill half of Earth´s population. Naturally, the activists assume they are working for the greater good of the species or something to that effect. Their leader is a billionaire, a certain Zobrist, with all kinds of odd ideas. The WHO are the good guys (!) but it´s interesting that they are depicted almost as an intelligence agency. Think CIA or FBI. Other actors are looking for the bio-weapon, too. In one plot twist, a global security firm working on behalf of the genocidal Zobrist realize they´ve been conned and switch sides at the last possible moment.

It´s interesting to note that the terrorists are depicted as young, idealist and extremely well-educated. They are fanatics, but not obviously brain-washed. Zobrist is excentric but also rich and good-looking. It´s difficult not to think of, say, Elon Musk or Peter Thiel. But while Musk and Thiel are very much part of the establishment (and rather ugly), Zobrist doesn´t work for some secret Illuminati cabal. He seems to be a genuinely independent rebel. Come to think of it, all films based on Dan Brown´s novels are pro-establishment. (If this also true of the novels, I don´t know.) "The Da Vinci Code" defends sinister secret societies, "Angels and Demons" is implicitly pro-Vatican, while "Inferno" is about brave globalist agents trying to stop some kind of confused Woke utopians. 

If they had wanted to make "Inferno" even more realistic, the terrorists would have (perhaps unwittingly) worked for some next-level government black-op, while Zobrist would have been a powerful capitalist tycoon with insane takes seen as quite respectable among his peers...

But surely I´m just being paranoid, right? Right.

The G-d particle, dawg

 

- What "con"flict, dawg? 


So I´m watching "Angels and Demons". Again. It´s extremely unrealistic...and yet, very realistic. Which is quite fascinating. But what´s up with the "eternal conflict between Science and Religion"? There is no conflict between Science and Religion. Or should I say Science and Spirit? The whole thing feels so 1600, I mean, sheesh!

White as they come

 


Once, I asked a White supremacist (?) on YouTube if Albanians are White. He denied it.

The picture above shows the Albanian national hero, the Catholic crusader Skanderbeg. Looks White to me...

Xenoparity

 


Biggest science news of the decade, nay, century? Not even sure if I understand this. 

Apparently, the Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) has a very peculiar life cycle. For some reason, mating between "normal" males and queens can´t produce workers, only other males and queens. The queens therefore have to mate with males from a *completely different ant species* in order to produce hybrid workers. This other species is known as Messor structor. This is apparently considered a form of parasitism, presumably because the sperm of M. structor is effectively "stolen" by the M. ibericus queens to produce infertile workers for ibericus colonies.

Unexpectedly, colonies of the Iberian harvester ant have hybrid workers even in areas where there are no Messor structor ants, including at islands. This is where it gets weird. Really weird. Scientists have apparently found structor males inside ibericus nests even in areas where structor simply doesn´t appear in the wild?! Further research suggests that Messor ibericus queens can "clone" Messor structor males. Yes: ants of one species can have offspring of an entirely different species!

WTF?!

It´s not clear to me whether the Iberian queen mates with her own offspring in truly incestuous fashion to produce the workers, or whether another queen gets the honor, but the point is that there seems to be an entire "slave race" within the Iberian colonies, a "clonal lineage" of structor males bred for the sole purpose to father the hybrid worker-caste and then die. 

Nor is it clear to me how this could even work. I assume the sperm of Messor structor must have been "harvested" at some point in the distant past (perhaps thousands of years ago) and is now passed on somehow by the Messor ibericus queens. Which makes me wonder for how long this can continue, if the sperm deteriorates, and so on. Frankly, I had to read this stuff about five times before I got *some* kind of inkling about what on earth these guys are even talking about!

But yes, it does sound like science fiction. Especially since the two relevant species aren´t even closely related, having diverged evolutionarily about five million years ago. But perhaps what´s five million years to Man is only one day to Ant?    

Almost like science fiction: European ant "clones" members of another species
