00:54 In the 1930s, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the nation through a series of radio broadcast known as the Fireside Chats. His aim was to reassure the common man that our society would recover from its troubled times. From 1930 and I deal with a different kind of fire For a new era of worldly frustration we offer a I'm Greg Carlwood These are The Hireside Chats Hey all you cool cats and kittens from sunny San Diego, I'm Greg Carlwood quickly trying to get my seat and tray table in the upright locked position as we are clearly making our descent. The late night clowns tell more tired Trump jokes and do synchronized syringe dances as the daytime talking heads tell you ignore turbulence and the obvious smell of smoke. Just trust your pilot they have everything under control

01:47 What I wonder is who is this pilot anyway and are they even from this plane? Well, as we nosedive deeper into the darkness of a bio-surveillance superstructure, billionaire space dicks disappoint whatever's on the other end of their cosmic courtship and The Woke Party sucks all the fun out of what's left this ride. We can all see the writing on the wall but need more help reading it because signs and symbols injected into everything remain multi layered and seeded from some weird Babylonian cult that wasn't even in the brochure So we go to the mystics, or better yet the synchro-mystics like master of his craft Chris Knowles to help us stay calm or at least aware what's going on in these highly charged times. Cause my brown paper bag is about to pop people and I'm sure i'm not alone

02:33 Chris is joining us for the 10th time on THC, and we have talked about everything from MKUltra, aliens, archons, award shows, architecture, pop culture and military intelligence to superheroes, sorcery, sirens, saucers, psyops and pretty much everything in between. You know him as the headmaster of the Secret Sun Institute for Advanced Synchromysticism and is the author of great books like Our Gods Wear Spandex, The Secret History Of Comic Book Heroes. The Secret History Of Rock And Roll, The Mysterious Roots Of Modern Music His novel He Will Live Up In The Sky and The Endless American Midnight Dispatches From The Secret Sun a great collection of his best essays from the blog now out with a new revised and expanded edition

03:18 Well, audience and astronauts alike. No one is going anywhere so let's get into it! One of my favorite mystics of this techno-gnostic bio surveillance woke infected timeline the mystically minded professor of pattern recognition woke virus vanquisher and color commentator of the apocalypse Chris welcome back for lucky number 10 Oh My God that was like the most amazing intro I've ever heard in my life For anybody Too kind, too kind. It is hard to stay creative with the intro of the 10th time we've done this but it's always great to check in with you especially at the end of a year to go over some of the symbols and weird ritual events we've seen The last time we talked was back in March and pretty much everything seems more intense more aggressive more insane What are your thoughts on where we are on this weird path

04:13 Owning nothing and never being happier in the metaverse. Well, everything is just more and more in your face all the time whoever is actually orchestrating a lot of these things that we talk about seems to not be worried about any kind of recrimination or consequences And it's just putting the pedal to the metal and letting it go I mean there seems to be no stop in this train now Like I've said and like, I've detailed so much on the blog over this past year. Things are getting more and more explicit in stranger

04:52 And more and more along the lines of things that I've been talking about for a long time, people are sort of like, I don't know what he's talking about. What is this Mithras thing? I mean all these sorts of things that I was pointing at for a long time and they're just becoming more and more obvious and we start to see these grotesques being installed, such as well the news today is at the UN they have that winged jaguar that looks like a ayahuasca nightmare. We have the we come in peace, that grotesque monster

05:30 alien demon that was on the roof of The Met during the Met Gala a couple years ago and now is installed in the National Mall, of all places. We have the Medusa installed at the courtroom in New York that we've talked about before and now we have the Squid Lady in Dallas not too far from Dealey Plaza and the giant Lucifer statue with AT&T so Things are getting very open, you know? What was once hidden is now becoming revealed. Yes yes as you say it's full steam ahead full court press and it does kind of seem rushed to me like the tech isn't ready the sales pitch isn't even very good It's so heavy-handed that even the non suspicious seem like they're getting a little suspicious So that's a silver lining but

06:25 Man, I've heard you say recently that the world is not run by science. It's run by sorcery and you've been using the term sorcerarchy which I like always love a good term but elaborate a little more on this sorcery behind the science for people who still don't see it because the conspiracy world as you often criticize is not focused on this thread and it's the thread that I love to focus on when you're here well yes There's a line of thinking in the conspiracy world that I find very irritating and that you know, the super science being hidden in the super science being worked and these people have the powers of gods. And transhumanism is in full bloom and everything might always think that like if transhumanism is really working like why do people like Bill Gates and George Soros look like dried up raisins? You know, um, you figure it would be some kind of technology to make them look a little less decrepit but this one of things I've talked about

07:27 repeatedly is that so much of this nonsense, this super science nonsense that was being fed into the media was coming from Mr. Jeffrey Epstein you know it's a huge booster of transhumanism and science fiction science and he wanted his dick to be cryogenically frozen so we could repopulate the earth and so on And then, you know as soon as he died I mean all that stuff just dropped out of the popular science press overnight. It's really amazing especially when i look back like 2018 or so and seeing all this stuff just being thrown at us night and day. I mean I have a different take having studied this stuff for a long time. I mean I have a supernatural worldview. I see the world kind of like a theater for supernatural forces that rule over us

08:17 and control the controllers, so to speak. And that technology and super-technology... I call it the plumbing. It's just basically the plumbing. It's basically the wiring. That's a delivery system. And I think one of things when you talk about like this whole feeling that things are being rushed in being done like very half acidly, I think one of the problems is is that these people, you know, sort of at Davos level, that World Economic Forum level you know, they're smart in some ways and maybe they're good at math or whatever but they're not scientists. And they don't understand that the throwing money at these scientists and the scientist are throwing bullshit back at them in return. They believed all the nonsense that was being fed like AI and robotics and Skynet and The Matrix and just all this science fiction stuff. Now that they're trying to launch their

09:16 Great reset, so to speak. They're realizing that none of this stuff is actually working the way that they were told it was going to work you know they were sold a bill of goods by the people that they've been just throwing billions of dollars at because technology basically has stopped You know I mean The rate of technological improvement or development Has been near zero for quite some time We don't have the powers that you're told that we do as far as computing power. I mean, the laws of physics drastically limit computations and, you know, we hear things about quantum computing and all this kind of stuff... And that's just more hype! That's just more of a hype machine One thing that i'd like your listeners to really be aware of is when they are reading this stuff about science fiction comic book stuff thats allegedly out there

10:17 A lot of it is just bullshit to get grant money and to get VC money, you know venture capital money. And that the actual science that's available is much less than we're led to believe and actually the science that we do have, the technology that we do have can't do what we're told it can do. Yeah I think you are pretty unique on your take with that and I see a lot of the signs when you connect those dots and you write about it definitely Seems very much accurate and and when it comes to what this secret Sorcery cult is or the sorcerer key? You've been very critical of those who call it Satanism or Luciferian ISM We have others who call it a Saturn death cult But you are more inclined to say at its core that it's a Mithraic cult now we've talked about Mithras being the true hidden figure that is the Statue of Liberty, and

11:14 is behind that statue at Rockefeller Center. But when you dig more into the signs and symbols of Mithras, here are just some interesting various quotes from some reading I was doing but we have One of the most characteristic and poorly understood features of The Mysteries is the naked lion-headed figure often found in Mithraic temples. Well, that makes me think of MGM which comes up a few key times and key places in your work. Mm hmm. Exxon Mobil too yeah? Yeah! The Pegasus... And then it goes on to say his body is uh naked man's entwined by a serpent or two serpents like a caduceus well that's certainly in play these days

11:54 Mithraism was much more complicated than the various state cults of the sun and seems to share some cosmological features with Gnosticism and Neoplatonism. Recent scholarship has suggested that astrology and astronomy offer keys to the Mithraic mystery Well, we see that everywhere. In the iconography, Mithras both represents the sun and is set against it. He appears banqueting with the sun shaking hands with him or crowning him for instance one plausible explanation of this is that he represents Saturn, the star of the Sun to many ancient astrologers Babylonian astrology seems to have seen Saturn as the son of the night as opposed to the son of the day

12:36 This is why Mithras and the Sun can be seen as equivalent, however since the top Mithraic initiation grade corresponds to Saturn while the Sun comes second it is clear that Mithras can be portrayed as superior to the sun. So a lot of stuff there but it seems that you can fold the lightbearer symbolism and the Saturnian symbolism and the astrological correspondences all under the umbrella of a Mithraic cult. It seems like a really good target for the top demonic dog here! Well, I'm gonna amend some of that that's been written... Mithras is Perseus okay? So Mithraism is actually an invented religion it was invented... scholars now believe that it was invented in Rome and not by Cilician pirates in Turkey

13:24 It was specifically invented for a purpose. It was invented to push forward the Empire, the interests of the Empire enlisting soldiers and alpha male types and so on I would argue, so Saturn is poorly understood. People have a lot of explanations why Saturn's important but they neglect to point out the fact that in the ancient world when Mithraism was being developed, Saturn was the outermost planet. Okay? So Saturn is the gateway to the stars because the whole idea and you know we see this for instance in The Great Pyramid right like the shaft pointing at Orion and Sirius

14:08 The point was to escape time and your soul wanted to travel into the stars. So Saturn would be the gateway, and the reason why Mithras is important is that if you look at a star map you'll see that Mithras is rising above the ecliptic Okay, and the ecliptic is where the Sun rises and that gives us the zodiac you know in the signs of the zodiac That gives us astrology right so Perseus is rising above The Zodiac which means he's escaping time And he's escaping the gods and he's escaping the archons. Okay? Which is the planetary influences So he's rising above that and ascending into heaven and heaven is the northern pole

14:55 part of the celestial sphere and that's where Cepheus is. And Cepheus is the gardener which gives us the Garden of Eden and so on So Mithras escapes the bounds of time, and that's why we have you know that lion-headed figure represents eternity and timeless time. You're escaping the bounds of temporality, you're becoming immortal your soul is becoming immortal in the stars so that's really the basis of this symbolism Saturn is the gateway to escape the influence of the Archons and head out into the freedom of the stars and so-to-speak Perseus aka Mithras is rising up the Milky Way

15:38 to the garden. He's returning to the garden and that's why this symbolism was so potent, and I think remains potent because Perseus is an interesting figure in that Perseus gained his power through technology essentially he was given power from the gods you know? He was giving tools to carry out his missions. This makes him unique among these ancient heroes because he had an entire arsenal of them, you know? You talk about Pegasus...Pegasus was given by the gods, his helmet was given by the gods as a shield and so on and so forth. So I think that when Mithraism was revived in the mid-19th century it was during the Industrial Revolution where technology

16:28 of primary interest. It was primarily interested in basically the Masonic ruling structure, particularly in Britain and France and so on. So this is why I think that this symbol that was laid dormant for quite some time was kind of revived. And that's why you had mentioned Statue of Liberty Prometheus and then the famous Lucifer at AT&T. And, you know there's just a number of these kind of things I mean one of the things that I recently found out that just absolutely blew my mind is that Mithras' cap is on the official seal of the United States Senate. Right? The Smurfs cap for people who don't have the visual in mind Yes yes and That was given to all these figures like Lady Liberty and so on In the 19th century

17:19 So this symbolism has been seeded into the public consciousness for quite some time. And it is, again, it's a technological dream. It's a technological fantasy of achieving immortality through technology and this ties back to all the work that I've done with Lucifer Technologies because Lucifers Technologies is going to focus on AT&T right? And The Bell System we discussed before Well, their symbol for quite some time and AT&T's recovered the symbol is that giant golden statue of Phanus. And Phanus is just a Greek name for Lucifer and the Phanus icon was very popular with Mithraeus so a lot of what we're seeing here is very old but it's been recreated let's just say to suit

18:19 the technocracy and the higher levels of the technocracy. And I think that's what it all feeds into, but it's all about escaping mortality you know? It's all about escaping the restrictions of humanity, hence transhumanism. And hence trans this and trans that transgender, trans species and that's why we see a lot of these Mithraic icons being trans for instance the Statue of Liberty and also the Transfamous at The Jesuit University of St Louis so it stands right at the gate. So yes it's a big

19:01 complicated story. But like, I mean it's gotten so when i talk about how just shameless this has gotten...I mean we have Bloomberg put a Mithraic temple in his headquarters in London okay? So he took a Mithraic temple that had been like, a few blocks away and moved it into this building. And actually one of my patrons had went down there and they've really sort of... you know? It's basically, you go down to that thing and you're basically initiated now, you know? They've created this whole kind of experience so yeah the stuff is everywhere! And it all speaks to this technocratic what I call Lucifer's technologies dream.

19:49 The people who are driving this don't realize, and I don't think they fully understand the spiritual forces that are manipulating them. Because we talked about in the previous show, we talked about the ultra terrestrials and so on right? And that influence. So it is a big complex story. And I know a lot of people can have trouble with it but the way I came to this conclusion after many years is just seeing these massive public rituals constantly and the symbolism getting more and more pointed, more and more explicit. And I just stood back and said, alright wait a second why are they doing this? What is the point of this? What are they accomplishing? And I realized well...they're doing it! They've been doing this stuff you know more and more explicitly since

20:43 the turn of millennium, because this stuff works. It works for them! And why does it work for them? Well it works for them because... The people they're calling are picking up the phone you know?! The people on the other end are picking up the phone and getting their message so You know this is something I wouldn't have understood until I really started studying ritual magic and so on and the grimoires and how all that stuff worked Right So people don't go to this kind of lengths to do these things if they're not getting something out it just don't. Yes i totally agree with you and it is important to identify that overarching entity that all these things speak too but I'm still curious and always obsess over this but,

21:32 How do you think the technocracy views its relationship with Mithras? Is it just worshipping and venerating Mithras for power and control, making a Faustian bargain for escapism. Obviously they think this is real power or they wouldn't waste their time. You use the phone analogy but it's like are they communing do you think? Are they possessed? How do they view their relationship with this entity? I think that Mithras is more like At most it's a Tulpa. I think Mithras is an archetype and is seen as an archetype because we talk about the ultra-terrestrials, what I've seen as I've been looking at this stuff for almost 30 years now is that the ultimate object of veneration seems to be The Watchers

22:29 that we read about in Enoch. And if you actually, if you read the Mithraic liturgy from the PGM it's astonishingly reminiscent of the things that you'll read about in 1st Enoch okay? There seems to be a great deal of similarity in the depiction being taken up into heavens which just sounds like a spaceship right so I think that the actual objects of ultimate veneration are the Watchers. And that's when we start to come in with all this Nephilim stuff, and I think that all the lesser gods... So maybe Mithras is seen as

23:15 you know, men of renown the old gods the old heroes which would be these extra ultra-terrestrial transdimensional entities somehow interacting with humanity and creating like a new race. And I think that's... we see this all the time. We see this kind of symbolism all the time. Recently i was talking about Lovecraft and how Lovecraft's Old Ones remind me very much of like the Watchers imprisoned in the Abyss. Okay, so I think that what this all points to as far as my understanding is somehow piercing this veil that will allow what the author Enoch called The Watchers many names you know old ones

24:09 in this whole Lovecraftian thing, which is all taken from Alice Bailey. And she had this whole thing with the Grand White Lodge on Sirius and so on and so forth. So I think that the ultimate goal...and even Crowley talks about this. I think Crowley sort of said the quiet part out loud when he said that humanity's only hope is to contact these extra-dimensional beings, he didn't use that exact term but he said you know our only hope is to contact these extraterrestrials and somehow commune with them. That will be our salvation and I think that, I don't think Crowley is just like talking out of his hat, I think this very much part of the esoteric

24:57 tradition. And I think if you look back and if you start to take, when you look at all the names of the gods and their roles and stuff that's all culturally fixated right? Because first of all a lot of the names are just titles right so the titles of the gods and the stories in the myths are all contingent upon the culture that they exist within, but I think ultimately they're all sort of describing the same reality. And the thing that i've been more and more fixated on is this whole idea of The Signal. There's a signal coming into our reality that we're picking up on and

25:40 People read it in different ways and that's how they come up with these various Pantheons and these various descriptions of these various gods and so on and so forth I mean, they're picking up on the same signal in the same almost like the same kind of impulses But they using their own language in their own culture to define it. Mm-hmm I agree And in terms of examples of some of this stuff in the last year I wanted to I guess just run through some of my notes here on giants and squids, but in terms of the Nephilim Giant symbolism has been huge lately. You've pointed out a lot of examples Travis Scott appeared as a giant in his fortnight concert, a sculpture called water soul of a giant head shushing is installed now on the banks at the Hudson in New Jersey and you captured a headline about a giant statue that's going to be doing a tour of 21 cities around the world for some reason and there is a story that you captured

26:42 Headline 4 that said Syrian children have faced war and famine a giant puppet named little Amel is telling their story So that's all strange and in terms of the squid. This is another example of replacing old statues with new ones There's this squid headed statue in Dallas you mentioned earlier That was put up after a Confederate statue was taken down And in the cultural zeitgeist Squid Game was clearly the most popular show this year As I learned from your blog in the 2019 Super Bowl halftime show, when Travis Scott came crashing down from the heavens on a meteor. He was introduced by Squidward from SpongeBob or as you call him Squidward Thulu but this is uh...a weird squid motif and a weird giant motif and clearly it's very potent this past year

27:35 Well, when you talk about the cephalopods too. I mean remember Arrival? Yeah! You know the movie with Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner and you know the sort of synchromystic cephalopods that can change time through language yeah it seems to be a bit of a pattern doesn't it And this is why the Lovecraft kind of material is still relevant to my mind and why I had reposted Well, I actually did a huge revision and it was basically sort of a white paper on that whole Alice Bailey Lovecraft connection. It was very clear to me that he was either reading her material or the material is being fed to him through Hoffman Price.

28:28 Yeah, I mean this is what i'm saying when these things just repeat over and over and over again you just start to think well yeah. I think there's something there and you know we're always periodic will always see articles in like sort of borderline science sites like Octopuses or actually aliens and so on I mean you just do octopus an alien You'll get like a million hits on that right, but you know you talked about Travis Scott That whole thing with Squidward And you know that whole super ball crashing to earth like a fallen angel But you know that was with maroon 5 right in Adam Levine. I don't if you've ever seen but he has a giant mermaid

29:08 on the back of his back. A giant tattoo, right? Yes! A giant siren and you know if you read Enoch it says that the women who became the wives or the angels who fell like the fallen angels became sirens so that's like some pretty specific connections there. Yes, and also the person who produces these events and produced that event in question is the guy who was involved in the production of The Millennium Dome Show that we've discussed before so it's very interesting to me that I've said that The Millennium Dome Show was kind of like beta testing for a lot of these big giant public rituals

30:00 how interesting that it's that guy, a guy named Hamish Hamilton who worked for another guy named Mark Fisher which is I love that name you know fish. Mark Fisher right? Martian Fisher right? I don't know so it doesn't really take a lot of digging to just realize what seems random and chaotic is actually specific and involves a relatively small group people Right, right. The names syncs are always so interesting because it's like was this a person's destiny? Is this kind of aligned with their astrology is anything real or these all just actors I mean I even learned from your blog that Fauci means sickle which is a symbol Kronos representations are holding quite often just another example of how it really is everywhere but

30:53 Not to get too off script, let's talk about the Astroworld Travis Scott thing because it also relates big time to the work you did on The Harvest Festival and has some Liz Frazier syncs doesn't it? Yeah. Why wouldn't it? Like, why wouldn't like you know this 20 something year old rapper in 2021 not have something to do with like this semi obscure dream pop diva from the 80's. This just goes without saying! So, of course Liz Frazier is Scottish and in 2005 sang on an album called La Traversie which in English and French means a place name that describes a person who lives near a bridge or a fjord. And of course Jeff Buckley died in the river, bridge being invoked then

31:47 Well, you're missing the lead here. I mean it's like Traverse is French for Travis. Right! The name Travis is derived from that word Yeah, note as it says in my notes. Note the meaning is to cross so as in cross dimensional gateways and symbolism was all over that concert too. Remember Nibiru right? The whole thing with Nibiru is the planet of crossing so hmm crossing over crossing the threshold crossing the bridge crossing the dimensional divide let's just say Yes. And there was a lot of weird portal symbolism to that show. It is hard without the visual sometimes, but even just going into his mouth in the same way that invoked that piece of artwork, just the name Astroworld I mean it's right there heaven and earth. Yes. Yes. Astro world heaven or Las Vegas, right? Yeah. It sort of completes the circuit. Yeah.

32:50 when I guess it was a week and half later, almost two weeks later when Young Dolph who's another rapper that i'd never heard of was shot in Memphis and he was killed on Jeff Buckley's birthday. Yeah so that really... It almost like completed the circuit because we talked on your show and you actually had turned me onto this whole thing with Lil Peep You know Lil Peep, The Shepherd Boy, So On And So Forth dying a month after Las Vegas. So, you know we've two music festivals both very heavily laden with symbolism that anybody can recognize I mean you don't have to be like a semiotician to spot that and it interestingly enough I mean you had that whole what i call Knowles' first law where whenever there's a controversy in the media about symbolism its usually disguising

33:49 Another symbolic message altogether, right? So I looked at astral world. I'm like yeah the mountain that's Mount Hermon That's where the Watchers come down and then you know that shirt he's wearing with like the red red figures walk through the portal and they become the blue figures, right? I mean that's the imprisoned watchers or the ultra-terrestrials or however you choose to name them walking through the portal into our world. And then in the center of the mountain you have those rings and that's like the whole ringed portal... There are certain versions of the story where the Watches were imprisoned at Mount Hermon and then The Cross, The Crossing, Planet of Crossing

34:32 Crossing the Gateway and then of course the name, and Travis Scott's not his real name right? Did he just pick that out of a hat I don't know. It's like kind of strange. Probably assigned! I can't really look at him and say like that's like the guy coming up with all symbolism. I doubt very much that it is Drake is involved in this and Drake seems to be like probably a little more savvy symbolically. He's got the whole thing with the owl and the ovo, and the ovos of course ties back to The Millennium Dome show right? Yes yes I actually wanted to just let me read this from my notes because this is taken straight from your blog where you say Drake singer and entrepreneur was Scott's partner in the Astroworld debacle looks like both of them are about to make their attorneys wealthy beyond their wildest dreams but that's not a secret son problem however

35:19 Drake also owns a chain of boutiques called OVO, short for October's Very Own whatever that means. Maybe he is referring to the Orionids, the October meteor showers, the ancients associated with The Fallen Ones? OVO is also the title of soundtrack to The Millennium Dome show! The Ovos in question are those of the character sung by Liz Frazier who becomes the mitochondrial Eve of a new race of human alien hybrids or human fallen angel hybrids, whichever you prefer. And whether you realize it or not the people who created the Millennium Dome show are the same people who created the kind of mass open air rituals we take for granted at stadium concerts and games these days including Astroworld. I also took down that the Millennium Dome had a giant installed in it and a womb room and an animated film of a human sperm's race for life as one of its attractions

36:14 I mean they're laying it on pretty thick. You know, if you understand the origin of the symbolism and it's not really too hard to put two and two together I have to say that i haven't done my due diligence here because, as I've said before they invented this whole thing. They invented this thing and the night...I think the first thing was Zoropa I think the first show was Europa, or maybe it was The Rolling Stones. But when we started seeing these big stadium shows with these huge production values that was this group and then they started in with the Super Bowls...I think the first one they did was the one with Phil Collins? No i'm sorry that was Julie Taymor but you know they started doing the Super Bowls and stuff so when we start seeing this very pointed and very specific symbolism show up

37:14 It's not just floating in and out of the ether. It's not like the collective unconscious or something, it's people who have an understanding this stuff and have done it before so again like there was this whole satanic panic and everything like that and like this is Satanism and stuff And it's just like you know are we still at that point? Are we still that dumb? Can we look at the symbolism a little more specifically because To my mind, this is a lot scarier than Satanism. Satanism is like sex pests and rich weirdos or rich sex pests and not rich weirdos. I mean, you know, Satanism just basically for weirdoes and losers and perverts. It's not something that is held to the bosom

38:02 of the upper echelons, let's just say. I mean you can describe it as satanic with a small s. It's an opposition in where my reading of Satan is that it represents the Roman Empire and the people who collaborate with them, their quislings and so on particularly in the New Testament but first of all there really isn't a lot of like Satanic lore to follow. I mean Satan just sort of pops up in the Bible is just like this opposing figure. And if you really want to get specific about it, you know, you're going to get into like the Grimoires and stuff but the Grimoires are all just rewrites of Babylonian demonology that came to light during the Crusades and so on So there really isn't actual satanic lore to follow

38:50 you know, unless you're talking about idiots like Anton LaVey or something. I mean it's just there's nothing there, you know what i mean? But if you're talking about like The Watchers and The Nephilim and on and on and on... And how you would start to tie in all these other myth systems into that also from Babylonia, Sumer, Assyria, on and on and on then you start to have something that starts to look a little more Systematic, a little more organized and not just like let's just hang the cross upside down while we you know rape this girl with a crucifix or something. You know it's just like this absolute ridiculous nonsense that

39:36 You'd see in like heavy metal videos from the 80s or something. Right? It seems to go much deeper and this Watcher Mithraic lore is a lot richer, and it seems like the oldest story we have is this weird nexus of otherworldly entities and humans and hybrids and corrupting human DNA Those are very much themes of the big agenda these days. It's about as crazy as could possibly be with the stuff going on and it seems like they're playing the trump card, like they are playing this card and there won't be much left if they don't accomplish it or on the other side of it but

40:19 Another weird event this year was the Egyptian parade of 22 mummies. You covered this on the blog a couple of times, one in a post called smells like freem spirit which I like because we have free Masonic overtones and these mummies died in Luxor hitting on that theme again but to wrap a big synchromistic ribbon around a lot of this stuff so far you write The one-two punch of Astroworld and the death of young Dolph was followed by the parade of the 22 pharaohs in Luxor, which itself followed on 22 men being condemned to death that very morning by the Egyptian government. In the midst of this, the Pentagon just created a new UFO office to replace the old AATIP office

41:03 Also in the midst of all this is the same siren and shepherd boy symbolism that led up to and included those events at the Highway 91 festival in 2017 just next door to the Luxor Hotel & Casino. Those events followed on the death of Chris Cornell at the MGM Grand in Detroit and were followed in turn by the deaths of Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and emo rapper Lil Peep, all of which were heavily laden with Shepherd Boy symbolism. In the midst of that was the 923 17, Syzygy in Virgo and Leo associated with the Book of Revelation. And following it was the announcement of The To The Stars Academy an amorphous outfit set up by former Blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge to study UFOs deadly festivals dead rappers Luxor UFOs anyone see a pattern here? As you say very wild stuff! And the fact that young Dolph died

42:01 Jeff Buckley's birthday and also in 1997 there was a 60-person massacre at a temple in Luxor Egypt on that same day November 17th the same day Jeff Buckley's birthday young Dolphs death day this Massacre Day in Luxor Egypt, and of course we didn't say this but Young Dolph had an album called called King of Memphis, where he eventually died. And his last depiction in a music video was him underwater which is how Jeff Buckley died in that same location. It's crazy man! Now you know why I became insane? Why I just popped the cork and like sort of Lovecraftian narrator manner

42:54 I'm going to add another thing, another log to the fire there. The new UFO desk that was announced in the wake of Astroworld was shepherded no pun intended by Kristen Gillibrand a senator of New York whose father was part of NXIVM Oh shit. Yeah, so there's a NXIVM tie-in there and then there's NXIVM tie ins to Mexico and sex trafficking in their next year tie ins to Epstein and we have Galane on trial now and Galene has the connections to Jack Parsons right tell us about that connection I heard you mentioned that recently on another podcast but that is an interesting connection

43:38 Okay, so didn't I talk about this on your show? I thought it did. Well yeah, I smoke a lot so it's possible There goes the short-term memory man right Okay, so Galane sister Christine Maxwell is married to Frank Molina who is the son of Ed Molina who was Jack Parsons partner in jet propulsion laboratories So There you go. Yeah, it's a small world. Yeah well you know another thing I want to tie in when we start talking about Jack Parsons was the connections with Altamont and Altamont brings Kenneth Grant into the story and Kenneth Grant brings his patrons The Getty family into the story

44:31 Ivy Getty had a big wedding, you know in the midst of all this madness. I think the weekend after Astroworld and Earth Wind & Fire played at her wedding reception and Earth Wind & Fire also played at Astroworld and just in case that isn't insane enough she had requested that in lieu of gifts, donations be made to Best Friends Animal Society which is the organization that grew out of the Process Church of The Final Judgment. And the day before that, the Empire State Building was lit up in red and it looked very very demonic

45:13 ostensibly in honor of the clip at the Big Red Dog movie, but the lighting was sponsored by The Best Friends Animal Society. So why are they connected to the Getty family and to the Empire State Building on 33rd Street? By the way I mean, I worked in that building for a number of years what's going on there it's just absolutely insane! It just like I said when you start to peel away all distractions and the red herrings. You start to see a very tight circle of people, so Altamont... The inferences that I was making there is that Altamont means high mountain and of course Travis Scott had the mountain as the main stage set for Astroworld right? And Altamont ended notoriously

46:07 in terrible violence because the Hells Angels were basically just beating people up and I think like five or six people were killed. One person was killed on camera, so like mountain Hells Angels, mountain Fallen Angels? Yeah! Kind of making the connections here but the murder that happened on film happened while The Stones were playing Sympathy for the Devil which was a song they had written on the direction of Kenneth Anger, because Kenneth Anger had sort of insinuated himself into the Stone Circle because Kenneth Anger had a lot of money from The Gettys and The Ford Foundation. I mean just ponder that for a moment... And actually The Gettys and The Ford Foundation were giving him money to make Lucifer Rising which he didn't finish until 1980 because he's Kenneth Anger and that's the way he rolls so

46:59 Kenneth Anger connects us to the Gettys. We have the Getty wedding, and Kenneth Anger also connects us to Galen through a number of steps and I'm sure we can connect them much quicker. I haven't looked to see Kirsten Gillibrand's connections to Galen but i'm sure they're numerous so yeah there's a very tight circle being drawn here And the UFO desk being revived in the same way that we had this announcement nine days after Las Vegas for this whole TTSA thing, which was a big washout. Which we've discussed before because Tom DeLonge couldn't stick to landing but

47:46 It seems to be like this year, there was a circuit completed. Something had started, like a ball had started rolling in 2017 and was completed in 2021. Oh! And another connection too is that the Houston Astros were in the World Series both those years. They're in the World Series in 2017 and 2021 so Yeah, I gotta tell you. And they played the Atlanta Braves whose name comes from Atlantis and Atlantis is also associated with this whole abyss sunken civilization which we can tie into Theosophy and Alice Bailey and also to H.P Lovecraft and so on yeah So it's very interesting because it seems that

48:35 Again, if we peel away these sort of distractions and red herrings being thrown at us like satanic panic and so on. We start to see what the messaging is and it's pretty stark you know? I mean if you understand the language, the message is rather clear in my mind. Yes yes! The themes are there... It's quite a tapestry and nothing seems real or genuine Before we close this thing out, I just wanted to maybe get back to current events for a minute because you've said on the blog that this sorcererarchy is pulling out every tool in the toolbox. You know, the shots, the attempts to link biometrics and credit scores to online behavior and you've said, I expect it to get worse before it gets better

49:20 but you ultimately think they will fail at all this. What would you say to people, to help them get through a period of time that seems quite scary until we talk again? Well, again I have full confidence that this program is gonna fail because it's stupid. It's based in fantasy and it's overly complex. You know, overly complex systems fail. They really do As far as getting through this, I mean, I have my ways but it's going to be up to you. Not you but people out there to sort of discover what their core is and get to what their non-negotiables are. What is your core? What is your basis? You know, what is your purpose really? But again these plans are just crazy and

50:22 They are so subject. I mean, look at we were just recording right and then the recording went down. I mean just imagine...I mean remember when Amazon went down? I think they went down again today as well! I mean they're out for like most of the day last week that's a sneak preview because not only are we going to have these overly complex systems failing but we're gonna have people probably state actors going online and just trying to crash these systems. You know what I mean? It's just like China is going to try to crash our system, we're gonna try to crash theirs and on and on and then there'll be maybe non-state actors who don't even know who they are who are gonna get into the system and try to bring it down. It's overly complex, its intrusive its invasive and it's based in utter science fiction fantasy. It cannot work! So

51:23 That's your light at the end of the tunnel. How you want to get through the tunnel yourself, that's going to be up to you but I'm just telling you right now... Gordon has been telling me this for years now it's like these plans cannot work actually when we did that show on COVID a year and half ago he was saying stuff is not gonna work It's not gonna happen its not gonna work And just the fact that people running are so old and senile That's another reason. So, you know in the meantime simplify your life cut your expenses get ready to just you know if you need to just bug out of your present situation do so You know just get down to your core, you know Just become you know like a warrior develop that kind of warrior mentality Of a ronin let's say no be prepared to become a Ronin because you may have to in order to survive

52:24 the collapse of the system. I mean, I hope we have a soft landing and maybe we will. Maybe cooler heads will prevail and sensible people will say like all right let's just stop this this is not going to work you know let's just put these people in homes get them away from the computers and get back to semi-normal living but yeah it's just not gonna work They're going to be putting way too much stress on the internet, on the infrastructure. On the phone lines or cable lines... There's just too much going on and it's not gonna work. Just accept that and again get down to your basic core and realize that I genuinely believe there is a light at the end of tunnel

53:13 Well said. And so many things are worse, but in terms of things that are better since we last spoke in March journalists and advocates are definitely figuring some stuff out and growing some balls just outside the mainstream and that is a beautiful thing And we know the ritual never, ever ends. And that's not so bad because I do love talking to you about the latest chapters of it and let's leave people with a reminder about that new revised and expanded edition of The Endless American Midnight and a pitch for the Patreon because you do churn out A LOT of really great stuff there It is hard to keep up but what should they know?

53:56 What should they know about the Patreon? About supporting you in general with the new book and the Patreon. They should know that it will be money well spent, it's an investment! It's an investment in your future, it's an investment in your education... No we do a lot of very interesting work on the Patreon and I have just so much material that I've just been stockpiling up for it and again, there's just so much going on. There is so much to draw from the news every day and it's a good group of people I'm very pleased that I have very good fans that the people who are like the people who I'd like to have a beer with you know they're not...they don't scare me So that's a good thing too You want to feel like you know your reaching people who are sensible mature adults And I can definitely tell from the group on

54:51 you know, my patrons that that is definitely the case and that is extremely gratifying to me. Yes I agree with that sentiment well Chris you are The Man obviously one of my favorite folks always a depressing pleasure but take care out there! Depressing pleasure? Oh lord indeed! Revisiting the never-ending ritual with the Synchromistic Sage of the Secret Sun blog. Definitely one of my favorite THC guests of all time, always a pleasure to have him back and it's always fun presenting you dear listener with the latest layers of the conspiratorial synchromystic cake

55:35 A lot of people still say the Song of the Siren episode we did is one of their favorite podcast episodes ever, and most of the ones we've done since then tie in some way as well. And of course his take on the Roswell working and Lucifer's technologies are also some of my favorite threads But I knew we would most likely be a little all over the place here, so i wanted to make sure the first hour closed out with that last quote that I read. Deadly festivals dead rappers Luxor and UFOs Anyone sensing a pattern here? Because Chris really has picked up on something pretty specific and interesting And it seems like some sort of ritual has repeated And themes that shouldn't relate to each other do in this strange tapestry of tragedy

56:24 You might even remember the weird elements to the Steven Paddock thing were that he worked for the NASA contractor that supposedly made the faulty o-ring for The Challenger, and there were reports that before he fired on the crowd supposedly there were shots fired at a Janet Air plane. Janet Air you know? The unmarked airline that takes people to their jobs at Area 51 just another non-existent terminal as they say I don't know, i'm not 100% on if those are vetted elements of the story because it is so hard to know what's real anymore. But it's odd that we get movement on official government UFO operations right after these strange strings of events? Good eye on Chris for finding this pattern because it is...so weird!

57:15 Funny, at one point in the second hour we were talking about Robert Anton Wilson. I was trying to think of the name of the book I was referring too and I think I said Serious Rising but...the book I was referencing is actually Cosmic Trigger though he did write Prometheus Rising which is a hit for today And then description of the book Robert Anton Wilson says We are all giants raised by pygmies who have learned to walk with perpetual mental crouch Unleashing our full stature, our total brainpower is what this book is all about. And I just found it funny that in the one sentence description of course he mentions giants out of all the infinite things He could have said but also just wanted to end this wrap-up relaying Knowles laws to you once again They are the foundation of a lot of his work these days and they're very dependable

58:10 I meant to spell them out in the interview early on, and i don't think we got to it. So just for your context... Knowles' first law is whenever a controversy over symbolism erupts in the media It's usually disguising a completely different symbolic message altogether Knowles second law is The old blood sacrifice state cults will be re-established under the cover of woke And his third law is, the old statues currently being torn down will eventually be replaced by the icons and idols of the new Old State cult. That third law in particular was something we were kind of pointing out examples of when it comes to like the Confederate statue being taken down in Dallas and replaced with a squid-headed thing? Whatever that is but its perfect for a Chris Nolls blog post for sure

59:04 He also had a really great expose on the civil courts building of the 22nd Judicial Circuit in downtown St. Louis and its Mithraic symbolism, an analysis and symbolic breakdown that is very deep and also leads to other buildings having this same structure City Hall in LA The Indiana War Memorial A government building in Tokyo And the Scottish Rite Temple in Washington DC just to name a few We didn't get time to add that to the stack and you might have noticed that a lot of THC interviews have sounded quite good compared to how they used to sound. I actually think it was the last time Chris was here, we had so many issues with Skype, i just had had it! And I started testing out other recording software and settled on what I use now

59:58 And it's really great because even if we have breakups in our connection, the audio is still recorded perfectly and then sent to me later. So you might have noticed in the last show and I think towards the end of this one I mentioned uh... You were kind of breaking up there but to your ears you hear everything they said so It's kinda good because I can edit around any kinda breakups and still have all the words they said captured and they all sound better! It's a win-win, I guess. But it does make for navigating those breakups a little difficult for me but whatever we make it work and it's much better than Skype or Zoom but as for Knowles laws I find those to be very dependable for parsing what's going on out there and what's coming. I appreciate his critique on Satanism. Satanism researchers are still good at picking up a lot of details even if it really is about Mithras

1:00:55 But it's just good to have watchdogs out there sniffing out stuff that is not necessarily organic and symbolism that definitely seems seeded. I hope we didn't do the three degrees of Jack Parsons and Glenn Maxwell before, but it is hard to keep up with the tapestry of connections that Chris goes through Maybe we did talk about it before but it is worth a re-mention because that is nuts isn't? It's a small world and we are just locked out of it Of course he also makes great points about technology and also who's even asking for the metaverse? Who wants to have some pixelated Nintendo Wii-like avatar in a virtual zoom room when you can just be on Zoom in video. Like what value does it add

1:01:46 Really none, and I tend to think the elite are just trying to dazzle us with these shallow empty fallen angel inspired technology because it distracts us away from life from nature and The great creation we could say. Think about a jealous high school ex who will go to some serious lengths To recapture your attention even if it's just for a fight even if its negative attention You know, when people are jealous they don't want to see you happy so they meddle. They turn up their best efforts for the short term just to say once... See? For better or worse it doesn't matter I still got your attention! I'm sure you know what i'm talking about. I've had those exes. I've actually probably been that ex at times as well not proud of it but here we are

1:02:39 I think the fallen angels feel like if they can just get us hooked on vices and addictions, and really anything that takes attention away from our short life in this creation. They feel like that's a win! i say it all the time but i think even the paper chase itself fits into that category But The Metaverse seems like it is structured to be the ultimate time suck A fully immersive digital world for us to waste as much time in as they can get us too For the people who heard the full episode last week, I think i said it was a pacifier for the life of poverty that they have planned for us. And I think that's true! So stay awake be ready and brace yourself because it's all coming Big thanks to Chris as always he is one-of-a-kind in the second hour we talked about the age old question if Lovecraft was an intelligence asset for the Sorcererarchy

1:03:35 We got deeper into the Mithraic metaverse, technology's broken promises. Timothy Leary and Robert Anton Wilson, the awkwardness of the scientism frontmen Dick Rockets and Cosmic Courtship The Chinese Moon Rover in The Black Cube PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley and the Dueling Sirens The Kardashian Coven Destroyer of Men The real details of how Liz Frazier and Travis Scott are connected through the weekend As well as Tiger King 2 And the Country Fried Epstein Anyone who watched Tiger King 2 will notice it gets really weird as they dance around what sounds like... Child trafficking?

1:05:59 Something sits on your chest when you sleep It might be a pattern you've been through before Or, you might have those screen memories Darling wait till we get some proof Yeah well make them see And baby I tried the camera right I'm not crazy

1:06:40 People can't get free from mysterious grace It's getting just a bit out of hand We really just want to get back on with our days Don't care about the hiberting plan So honey now, don't walk into the skinny arms Know they came from the sky, from out of the stars Place something on my beating heart Oh baby this damn life is too bizarre I can tell when they're gone cause' my memories fade But we know that it's not just a dream Cause they never put me back exactly the same way

1:07:54 And the pain is as real as the scream Honey, our goals might be the whole goal A sense of theme The higher side chats It's covered all up We're breaking free People can't get free from Mrs. Grace It's getting just a bit out

1:08:34 We really just want to get back on with our days Don't care about the hybriding plan But people don't walk into their skinny arms No, they came from the sky from out of the stars Play something I'm a beating heart I'm shouting out loud Baby this damn

1:09:12 Life is too bizarre So honey now Don't walk into the skinny, oh No they came from the sky From out of the stars Play something on my beating heart I'm shouting out

1:10:04 Baby this damn life is too bizarre Honey I think we're on some kind of far Baby this damn life is too bizarre
