Weavers Documentary

Bit of an abrupt ending though. I can't help thinking, so what now?

Staring Evil in the Facebook

2008-04-03T02:46:00.000-07:00

It’s taken me quite a while to give in to Facebook, and call me paranoid but now that I finally have, I’m using a separate computer with a masked IP. I don’t want to take any chances. So far it’s interesting, and it’s good to see I’m not the only one who’s a little concerned about it being monitored. This is from a discussion in a group about the Illuminati:

I would just like to say that in late January on CNN,Glennbeck had a show where he was discussing the patriot act and the new plans to expand it...the new Super Snook law...to monitor all computer use and have thier computers in Washington programmed to pick up key words,phrases and groups.Thus they will kick in when they pick up these notable subjects.In particular they said Facebook and Myspace were of big concern due to the fact(lies) that al-queda is using them to build terrorist cells. What they really mean is people are starting to wake up and learn of thier evil scams and plans for us... I saw a post on here by a young lady that made a good point about the 'i'll bet i can find 1,000,000 people who don't like George Bush" of which I am a member. Of course they are monitoring those type groups. ...Anytime the word illuminati,freemasons,weavers, new world order, tri-laterist,council on foriegn relations..ect.ect. are mentioned..they are monitoring. I look at them as my enemy...Shit is about to hit the fan,big time.Brace yourselves for the ride.Not much else you can do.But whatever you do..don't take the implant.No matter what. No food,No job,No home...it's not going to matter for long.Just be prepared. They have it all planned out.... feel free to message me. peace

This might sound a bit out there, but when you think about it, facebook has a larger population than Great Britain, of course it’s going to be of interest to the powers that be. And of course they’re going to be watching what is said, especially as it’s so easy to do so. We’ve never been so easily controlled as when we’re all in one place and everything we say and do is recorded.

Now I'm Getting Really Paranoid

2008-03-22T11:33:00.000-07:00

It's been said before. I am paranoid. That's what gives me my edge. In this day and age, paranoia is a talent. You need it. But this has really freaked me out. Last Thursday, I ordered a book on the Cathar-Weavers, Loom Of Destiny by Jean Sebastian Kaici from Amazon. I'm continuing my work on The Weavers. This is a leading title, the reviews say. I want to read it. Week later, all my other books have arrived bar that one. I get an email from Amazon saying sorry it's out of stock. Fair enough, I'll buy from another source, a second-hand place. I go to the page on Amazon. It's gone. I do a google search. It's not appearing. I know I'm not going mad because I took a screenshot of the page on Amazon when I ordered it so I could use the cover image on my blog. I email Amazon. They don't reply. I look at my order history. Sure enough Loom Of Destiny is in the original order. But everywhere else, on Amazon, on teh internet, everywhere, that book has ceased to exist!!! Tell me I'm doing something wrong. Or I've missed something. But in the space of a week that book has vanished.

Secrets of the Seal Revealed - Nothing To See Here

2008-03-17T15:05:00.000-07:00

"Conspiracy theorists take note: The myths surrounding one of America's oldest and most enduring national symbols are about to be debunked ... if you believe the government, that is.

The keepers of the Great Seal of the United States, the familiar emblem on the back of the $1 bill, want you to know what it is not. It is not a sign that Freemasons run the country, it has nothing to do with the occult, and it does not contain clues to a fabulous hidden treasure..."

The Loom Of Destiny

2008-03-14T03:45:00.000-07:00

I ordered a bunch of books on the Cathars, The Weavers and Gnosticism from Amazon. I'm going to really soak myself in this stuff. See if anything comes. This one in particular I'm looking forward to - it's got the whole history of The Weavers in it and speculations on what happened to the sect after the massacre at Monrtsegur in 1244.

The Weaver Code

2008-03-13T05:42:00.000-07:00

Here, for all those not convinced by the existence of The Weavers / Cathar / 2012 nexus (particularly you ThumbDrive), here's someone else who's seriously drawing the dots in this area.

John W Balfour, independent researcher and webmaster of The Weaver Code, claims to have found and decoded an "ancient code" in the various ancient Weaver cloths. His findings parallel much of what I've already surmised from my research but he goes one further, extrapolating entire tracts of ancient wisdom and prophecy from a code.

Now, what I know about 'cryptology' and cyphered codes you could fit on a pinhead. (Can someone who does know about this stuff check his claims?). But I am severely intrigued by this stuff. I've emailed him (excitedly) and I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

In the meantime, check out the site: The Weaver Code.

Take That!: Robbie Believes in UFOs

2008-03-11T06:00:00.000-07:00

It’s only a matter of time now before the truth about UFOs is finally revealed, as, according to the Daily Mail, pop star Robbie Williams has come out as a believer.

‘It may seem a bit out of this world, but pop sensation Robbie Williams has revealed his next career move - he wants to become a qualified Ufologist... The 34-year-old also revealed on the Jeremy Kyle show that he believes in ghosts which he said are "from another world." Robbie said his first UFO sighting was when he was a child in Britain while he spotted his second in Beverly Hills. He said the third sighting was just after he had written a song about alien contact. Interviewed on the show by Devon soul sensation Joss Stone, Williams said: "This big ball of gold light turned up. On my life. As for ghost sightings he goes on to say: "People will think I'm mental, which I am."’

Sigh. It’s people like Robbie Williams that make the rest of us look mad.

Map Of The Internet

2008-02-27T05:54:00.000-08:00

I saw this today. Breath-taking. It's a map of the internet, created by some guy who set a trace-routing program running across the web, following different connections. The different colour represent different countries. It's like a huge brain, a cluster of neurons, much like the noosphere envisioned by Pierre Telhard de Chardin.

An Innocent Question: Where on Earth is Darius Lockwood?

2008-02-21T21:45:00.000-08:00

People who know me say I’m prone to paranoia. Fair enough, but in the words of the popular song, just because you’re paranoid don’t mean they’re not after you. As it happens I don’t think anyone’s after ME exactly, but I am starting to get a little concerned about our friend Mr Lockwood.

Let’s examine the evidence:

1) His site hasn’t been updated since November last year.

2) He doesn’t seem remotely concerned that a memory stick is missing which contains not only a great deal of his research and articles he was working on, but also large amounts of his personal diary. You’d think he might be keen to get this stuff back. Keen enough maybe, to answer emails telling him that it has been found. Keen enough to respond to Facebook messages. Lisa emailed him at the beginning of the year. I’ve been trying to since I found out. And nothing. Not a dicky bird.

3) Most perplexing of all, click on any of the links to his published articles on his website and you find they’re all dead. This happens or this. I’ve written to editors of each of these publications but have heard nothing back so far.

Suffice to say, I’m starting to get all kinds of thoughts going through my head. In fact, I’m not sure I should be posting this at all. I’m going to shut up now, and forget all about it. Yeah, I’m sure everything’s fine. Lah de dah just going about my day.

The Mysterious Case of the Man Who Lost His Memory Stick

2008-02-20T18:35:00.000-08:00

Lots of very weird stuff happening at the moment. I received an email today from a woman called Lisa who found a memory stick on a New York subway almost two months ago. The memory stick appears to have been the property of one Darius Lockwood, investigative journalist and expert chronicler of all things underground.

On her blog trying to find track down the owner of the memory stick, Lisa has uploaded a few of the images. Suffice to say there is some pretty startling stuff on there. It seems Mr Lockwood (or whoever the stick belongs to) was exploring much of the same kind of thing that’s been fascinating me for so long. Check out the Conspiracy Mindmap here. It’s all there: Albert Pike, Augustin Barruel, Pierre-André Taguieff, Robert Amberlain, and the Weavers are all over the place.

Also, looks like he was researching Gnosticism for an article and was naturally drawn towards The Knights Templar, the Cathars and, of course, The Weavers. This is from a diary entry found on the stick here:

(not that I condone publishing private info on the web, but she's saying the owner might google phrases from it to find the drive.)

‘Different historical periods who also required a different implementation of Gnosticism. During the Manichean and Cathar Gnostic movements, it was all about purity of conduct and integrity. In 2nd and 3rd century Alexandria, it was all about individualism. And today? In the age of saturation and ennui, maybe it’s all about tearing down the palace walls and setting fires to wake people up?’

WTF?

Police Camera UFO Action!

Big Foot On Mars!

2008-01-23T08:12:00.000-08:00

This has stirred a lot of controversy and press. No surprise as it combines two great mysteries: "Is there life on Mars?" and "Does BigFoot exist?". To that I'd add a third question: "If yes, how the f*** did he get to Mars?". Simulacrum mysteries are almost as old as the Internet, but this one is a lot of fun, mainly down to the hi-resolution of the pictures. Have a look for yourself and judge...

• December 21 - End of the great cycle of the Maya calendar's Long Count and a 26,000 year planetary cycle in the Aztec calendar, and thus the alleged end of our world (the end of the cycle is dated December 22 or December 23 by some calculations).
• According to the 1997 book The Bible Code the world will end due to a collision with a meteor, asteroid or comet.
• Interpreted by Millennialism as a time when there will be an evolutionary change in human consciousness brought about by a series of world changing events or revelations. Following this period of upheaval they believe we will begin a new 1,000 year cycle in which peace, enlightenment and our environmental movement take priority.
• The Olduvai cliff will begin and permanent blackouts will occur worldwide, according to "The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road To The Olduvai Gorge" by Richard C. Duncan.
• Terence McKenna's Novelty Theory claims that time is a fractal wave of increasing novelty that ends abruptly in 2012.
• Tibetan Monks specialising in remote viewing predict that divine extra-terrestrials will intervene at a point where the world's governments are about to deploy weapons of mass destruction. Adding to this, the Tibetan Monks say that the world is not ready to be destroyed and that our Earth is blessed and being saved continuously from all kinds of hazards that Mankind is not even aware of.

The Hidden Hand

2007-12-23T10:11:00.000-08:00

I don’t agree with everything this guy is saying but this rings true: Link.

Some would argue that The United States Congress, the elected officials of the people who were involved in passing the United States Patriot Act just forty three (43) days after September 11, 2001 (had either been duped or were willing and active participants in the plot) and establishing the office of Homeland Security giving the Executive Branch of Government Dictator type powers. For example, unchecked and undemocratic Executive Orders were imposed, law enforcement powers went unmitigated, and Congress ability to legislate was compromised and was the Patriot Act essentially an outright violation of U.S. law and of our U.S. Constitutional Rights? And did this legislation actually meet its attempt by intentionally and willfully usurping the balance of powers we have in our three branches of government?

But the HIDDEN HAND strategically would use the 9-11 incident to weaken the Bill Of Rights and to totally disarm the United States Citizens and proliferate the powers of the Executive Branch of Government (George Bush) and the sad thing about this criminal act, it was met with no resistance from the masses of the people they volunteered as willing participants.

Artificial Life Forms With Synthetic DNA On The Horizon

Researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA. I, for one, won't be eating them. Link.

Scientists in Maryland have already built the world's first entirely handcrafted chromosome -- a large looping strand of DNA made from scratch in a laboratory, containing all the instructions a microbe needs to live and reproduce.

In the coming year, they hope to transplant it into a cell, where it is expected to "boot itself up," like software downloaded from the Internet, and cajole the waiting cell to do its bidding. And while the first synthetic chromosome is a plagiarized version of a natural one, others that code for life forms that have never existed before are already under construction.

Storm Worm Spams Its Own Bots

2007-11-14T09:00:00.000-08:00

When Botnets Go Wild. Link.

Corman said the Storm Worm is an "instantiation of a class of botnets" that is being used in attacks such as pump-and-dump campaigns to derive profits for its authors. It communicates through decentralized peer-to-peer networks, which makes it difficult to stop.

If the Storm Worm authors find a way to monetize other uses for the botnet, users may see an influx of DDoS attacks that could paralyze some organizations. Some businesses are preparing for such an incident by reassessing their disaster recovery capabilities, Corman said.

He said he also worries about a political motive: For example, Storm could impact the websites of presidential candidates, or be used to deliver spam that may sway voter's decisions, Corman said.

Surfer Dudes Discovers The Theory Of Everything

2007-11-14T00:12:00.000-08:00

This gets way highbrow but it sounds amazing! Here’s a snippet:

The theory of E-Infinity is at least 15 years old and it is based on a new irrational quasi-binary system utilizing the miraculous properties of the golden mean and the Fibonacci numbers within this system (2)(248) = 496 of E8 E8 is reduced to 496-(0.18033989) = 495.9674775 while 137 is increased to 137.08203932. These small differences make a big difference and are behind the success of E-Infinity theory. Those interested in the nitty-gritty should read issue 2 of volume 35 of Chaos, Solitons & Fractals (January 2008). Particularly, the aforementioned paper from E-eight to E-Infinity pp. 285-290 of the same issue is of special interest. At least the abstract if not the entire paper maybe found on Science Direct www.sciencedirect.com.

Another paradigm-shattering piece from the Thunderbolts crew

2007-11-13T09:01:00.000-08:00

The more I look into this Electric Universe theory the more it makes sense. Their explanation for comets solves a lot of the inconsistencies in Comet Theory:

Comets are electrical discharges in the thin plasma that permeates the solar system. Because they spend most of their time far from the Sun, their rocky nuclei are in equilibrium with the voltage at that distance. But as they accelerate in toward the Sun, their voltage is increasingly out of equilibrium with the voltage and increasing density of the solar plasma. A plasma sheath forms around them—the coma and tail. And filamentary currents—jets—between the sheath and the nucleus erode, particle by powdery particle, the circular depressions with terraced walls that are typical of electrical discharge machining. As the discharge channels move across the surface of the comet, they burn it black.

Without some kind of dynamic evidence, the UFO phenomenon is doomed to die, if only because media, government agencies, and the public cannot sustain interest in such an evanescent presence.

Yes, UFOs have appeared and continue to appear in the skies but without some kind of specific tangibility, all persons, except UFO fanatics, will, psychologically, place the phenomenon on a mental backburner, maybe even dismissing the subject matter altogether, which is already beginning to happen.

Dip in UFO sightings caused by the Internet?

2007-08-30T18:10:00.000-07:00

How inaccurate can one article on UFOs be? Take 10 seconds to enter 'UFO sightings' into a search engine and get over 1 million returns. UFO reports have never been so common. This year alone there have been hundreds, some from very credible sources. The proof on the Internet completely contradicts the key 'point' of the article:

My friend Kevin Fitzpatrick, who spends a great deal of time thinking about these things, says there is a simple answer. He suggests an exact parallel between the rise in the use of the internet and the fall in UFO sightings. Logical: the amount of time spent staring at the sky must be in inverse proportion to the amount of time available to stare at a computer screen.

Storm Worm Rising

2007-08-07T11:42:00.000-07:00

The Storm Worm is a huge botnet that may have commandeered up to 2 million PCs around the world. You visit a site, download a piece of malware, and unbeknownst to you, your computer becomes just another 'zombie' node in the botnet army. Then the creators use yours and the other computers on the network to launch spam or denial-of-service (DDos) attacks.

As sci-fi writer Sterling himself says,

The Storm worm is an amazing piece of work. Anyone who has taken the time to reverse engineer Storm will tell you that it is a very sophisticated piece of software and it is highly unlikely that it was created just to send spam.

Mayan Shamanism and 2012: A Pyschedelic Cosmology

2007-07-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

Leading 2012 writer and researcher John Major Jenkins puts it all in context. Amazing stuff!

The profound integration of celestial, psychological, ritual, and mythopoeic elements at Izapa bespeaks the psychedelic influence, because those tools of vision open the consciousness to higher states of awareness in which multiple dimensions are seen for what they are – mutually interweaving and interpenetrating aspects of a unity that is simply not apparent to the “normal” consciousness that functions on more limited planes of perception.

These processes and concepts are intimately involved in the understanding that the Milky Way is the Great Mother, and the dark rift is her vagina or birth place. It is the place of transformation that the prospective male king must enter in order to be reborn as the king, a divine being. That these things are templated upon the alignment of the December solstice sun with the dark rift in the Milky Way – on the 13-baktun cycle end date, December 21, 2012 – is mind-boggling.

60th anniversary of Roswell - was it real?

2007-07-04T14:11:00.000-07:00

Interesting post on the Daily Grail looking at the evidence.

I was permitted from a safe distance to first observe the object just recovered north of town. It was approx. 12 to 15 feet in length, not quite as wide, about 6 feet high, and more of an egg shape. Lighting was poor, but its surface did appear metallic. No windows, portholes, wings, tail section, or landing gear were visible.

I personally feel something momentous did happen in Roswell, but that competing accounts, profiteers and government misinformation has garbled the account of what really happened, perhaps forever. Link.

Anniversary of the UFO

2007-07-04T12:12:00.000-07:00

This big BBC article celebrating 60 years of the UFO phenomenon falls down when it trots out the usual, "official" explanations for UFOs. Here they are with my retorts:

Sundogs: Refracted image of the sun - WHICH DON’T MOVE
Space debris: Burning satellites or rocket fragments - WHICH MOVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE
Meteors: Such as bolides or fireballs - AGAIN, A STRAIGHT LINE
Clouds: Lenticular or disc-like - OKAY BUT *SLOW* MOVING
Mirages: Hot or cold-air induced images - HMMMMMMM
Stars/planets: Such as Venus - WHICH DON’T MOVE!!!
Planes: Such as experimental aircraft - POSSIBLY, BUT AERODYNAMICS
Ball lightning: Unpredictable brilliant spheres - USUALLY FOUND NEAR THE GROUND
Weather balloons: Classic explanation - OKAY, A LOT OF UFOs ARE PROBABLY BALLOONS
Hallucination: Viewer under stress - I SEE BETTER WHEN I’m TRIPPING!
Mass hysteria: Early explanation - COME ON!
Earthlights: Caused by electromagnetic fields in seismic activity areas - WTF DOES THAT MEAN?

This cool article in Wired too is a bit more open minded, although there's the usual skeptical perspective from writer Darius Lockwood

I don’t know a whole lot about cosmology. I know even less about electricity. But if these renegade scientists are even slightly close to The Truth, they could overturn the whole way we think about the universe. It was this story that first attract me to this group, a story about how their predictions for NASA's Deep Impact comet collision were more accurate than NASA's. The Electric Universe theorists, collected at Thunderbolts.info, believe that electricity, when factored properly into astrophysics, plays a greater role in the cosmos than the standard gravitational model, which says electrical forces are insignificant on a cosmic scale. Fascinating stuff. I've been exploring their site. I'll be posting more stuff as I find it. Link.

This is a deeply alarming article from the British Guardian. It proves essentially that we are already living in a Fascist state.

"If you look at history, you can see that there is essentially a blueprint for turning an open society into a dictatorship. That blueprint has been used again and again in more and less bloody, more and less terrifying ways. But it is always effective. It is very difficult and arduous to create and sustain a democracy - but history shows that closing one down is much simpler. You simply have to be willing to take the 10 steps."

Historical Mysteries: Comte De St Germain

2007-04-18T10:38:00.000-07:00

I've been getting into 'shadow history' lately. This is research into the hidden history of our culture and the facts, people and events that have been airbrushed from the history books to benefit the shadowy cartels and groups that actually run things. Many of these sprung from Christian sects such as The Cathars, Gnostics, Knights Templar and The Weavers.

One such figure, who may have been a key figure among the Illuminati, was the 18th century nobleman, the Comte de St Germain. He was an occultist, mystic and quite possibly an Ascended Master of the Illuminati who may have created the Great Seal Of The United States.

Just days after plans were announced to launch the Internet in space, this story breaks on completely rebuilding the Internet from the ground up.

"Other government agencies, including the US Defence Department, have also been exploring the concept....A new network could run parallel with the current internet and eventually replace it."

This is an interesting point on why the Internet is increasingly obselete:

"The Internet's designers also assumed that computers were in fixed locations and always connected. That's no longer the case with the proliferation of laptops, personal digital assistants and other mobile devices, all hopping from one wireless access point to another, losing their signals here and there.

Does Mayan Calendar Predict 2012 apocalypse?

2007-03-27T20:12:00.000-07:00

Short answer, yes. I've been following 2012 for years, ever since I read Daniel Pinchbeck's mind-bending autobiographical tale, Breaking Open The Head. It detailed his entheogenic experiences that literally "broke open his head" and eventually led to the sequel 2012: Return Of Quetzacoatl. There are some other good books mentioned in this piece, which is the first decent mainstream article I've read on 2012. But Pinchbeck's in the best IMHO. An amazing read which mixes crop circles, alien abductions, Eastern philosophy and shamanic wisdom into an amazingly powerful story. Link.

Interesting point. I had never much made the parallel between the US "corporate dictatorship" today and the puppet government installed by the Nazis in France during WWII.

As American people, we will very soon and very surprisingly be faced with recognizing and confronting the fact that we no longer live in either a supposedly 'exceptional' country, or even a normal country. We will be faced with the reality that we live in a virtual "Vichy America" which has been fully taken over by a guileful and disguised global Empire ---- just as France in WWII had been taken over by the Nazi Empire which installed the faux government referred to as Vichy France.
