Walking the wild side of the nerdy fun. Lots of it. Beware!
Of course, this one leans way too heavily on 'Illuminati' but other than that, the pattern ideation stuff is fascinating. All the magic-hating ways, right-hand-path-smearing, witchcraft-hating stuff didn't really make it any better. The guy can't distinguish between the white and black and general magic. Also, way too scared (secretly fond of?) Satanistic cults.
It might be lots of paranoia, it seems. Or it might be the Hemingway effect.
Some editing issues, as well. Still, I had way too much fun reading this one to dock more than 1 star for all the things I perceived as inaccuracies.
Q:
"They arose in ancient ages," Clausen states, "The signs, symbols, and inscriptions come to us from across long, drifting centuries and will be found in ancient Sumerian clay tablet libraries of the cities of Lir, Lagash, and others of the first true urban civilization. This, occurred about 600 years before Egypt was civilized..." (c)
Q:
... symbols are claimed to be infused with dynamic life—to be real things, active images that make and testify and create, we begin to comprehend the powerful and explosive meaning with which the Illuminati endow their signs and symbols.
To them, these are not just geometric shapes, architectural patterns, lines, and circles. Their signs and symbols both live and possess creative power. They are archetypes and thoughtforms. In sum, they are real things that perform. One is reminded, therefore, of the "image of the beast" which, in the last days, is prophesied to both move about and to speak (Revelation 13). (c)
Q:
... I often find that almost everything they think they know is pure junk.(c)
Q:
"There's a sucker born every minute." (c)
Q:
Ruckman sagely observed that historians, like other establishment "experts," can scarcely be trusted, for they invariably write a history they would like to believe. They limit themselves to reporting only that which comports and agrees with the socially accepted view of history and "truth." If a set of facts is unpleasant or inconvenient to the officially approved mantra, or version, of events, reality must suffer. Facts must become non-facts and lies must be converted
into "reliable truths."...
"Some nonexistent spooks," Ruckman adds, "are very persistent." (c)
Q:
... anyone today who simply believes the obvious is ignorantly and unfairly branded an extremist, a
conspiracy-monger, a racist, or worse. Men are not free, Whitaker suggests, to tell the truth: (c)
Q:
The propensity of the Illuminati to engage in rebellion, against God, country, and even organized civilization itself is evidenced in the inner meaning of their centuries old rallying cry: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," the esoteric meaning of which is liberty from the dictates of God, equality of all men only in death, and the unity of evildoers. (c)
Q:
"Ninety percent of the secret news is transmitted via the media, in particular the press, with the aid
of coded texts and pictures." (c)
Q:
If one collects the photos of well-known personalities from the daily papers, then one possesses, in a very short time, a great number of conspicuous and — for those who understand the signs—also meaningful poses. (c)
Some ideas are intensely delightful! Just imagine:
Q:
Karl Marx, the Jewish radical who inspired Lenin and Trotsky with his Communist theories, was
secretly a High Priest of Satan... (c) I like this interpretation! If only for its unfazed quirkiness.
Q:
Mekhonoshin (right) wears the llluminati phyrgian cap. (c) Actually, he's not exactly. Not even a phrygian one. He's wearing a budennovka, created after erikhonkas or szyszaks (types of helmets worn by strongmen and soldiers in, yesss, Russia, starting from at least early Slavic times). Of course, it could have been borrowed from Phrygians, for all we know, but it has yet to be demonstrated, since both Phrygians and Slavs and God knows who else could all have borrowed this thing from yet someone else. And yes, it has yet to be made obvious that Phrygians or the developers of the original prototype of the hat had inbuilt occult significant into that hat.
Q:
In this ad for Hitachi Electronics, Napoleon is using the left-handed path (dark occultism) of magic. (c) To me, he looks to be just standing. With a hidden hand, like it was recommended for orators of the ancient times. Or, maybe whatever secret societies wannabies that decided that leaving around images of themselves in all kinds of weird poses is cool and would be a cool prank to pull.
Q:
Ever wondered why "Uncle Sam" wears the satanic goatee beard? (c) LOL
Q:
Baphles Me!—Horned Beasts, Leaping Goats, Satanic Beards, And Other Messages of Evil (c) Lovely heading, huh?
Q:
Karl Marx was a Satan worshipper...he joined a satanic cult that featured long unkempt beards. Every picture of Karl Marx depicts such.

Secret Societies (c) Uh-huh, these guys definitely aren't fond of him.
Q:
President Bill Clinton was named "Man of the Year" by Time magazine. The editors stretched the
letter 'M' to make it appear as if Clinton had horns. (c)
Q:
This cover of a book by W. Bruce Lincoln about Russia's czars, the Romanov Dynasty, pictures the
dynasty's fascinating symbol, the double-headed phoenix serpent. Eyeopening is the crowned victorious hero figure with a cape, carrying a lance, riding a white horse found within the "heart" of the doubleheaded black bird. The symbolical meaning of this image is overwhelming, to say the least, in terms of Bible prophecy. (c) Actually, that's Saint George the Victorious, one the most respected saint benefactors of Russia, not anything obscure like that. And that's not a phoenix serpent, that's a double-headed eagle, triply crowned. It's associated with both Romanovs and the state of Russia.
Q:
The word "Czar" in Russian means Caesar (с) Nope, it doesn't but Ceasar is the word from which the word 'czar' was coined at some historical point.
