02:10 Her forthcoming book is Codex Machina: How AI is Decoding Ancient Civilizations, Technologies, and Lost Languages in Our Search for Meaning. And we are really going for it today out of the Kurt Metzger Turning Point 2.0 text chain and into the fire. The ancient civilization scholar, broker class critic, and academic double agent, Dr. Heather Lynn. Welcome back. Hey, that was a great introduction. I hope I can live up to the hype. Oh, you can. You can. I know it's going to be a good day when you're here. You've been on fire with the H-files. So many good articles lately. Dollar store gooners and classic blood facials. I mean, you hit them on both sides. You got to have equal coverage for men and women that are both crazy.
02:54 Hard to really know where to start, but the one that got us talking about doing another interview was this two-parter, The Great Deception, breaking down how the entire Zachariah Stitchin, I say Stitchin, people hate it. It's Sitchin. I know what it is, but I can't help myself. But the entire Zachariah Sitchin ancient aliens narrative, it's a psyop apparently aimed at promoting Jewish supremacy to the alternative crowd. And I was so ready because many of us can see that ancient aliens has kind of been artificially inflated and basically taken over the history channel. And you start this one by saying the following is the most in-depth H-file I've written so far.
03:35 The argument is this: The Anunnaki story, as popular culture depicts it, the Virgin Zachariah Sitchin branded but did not invent, is a 20th century construction resting on two older layers most of its consumers have never examined. The first is a 19th century scholarly project built to vindicate the Bible with a spade and artifacts. The second is a wartime intelligence apparatus that turned that scholarship into statecraft and helped draw the borders of modern Iraq. Titchin himself belongs to the third layer, and so does a curious errand of his involving President Harry Truman and the only signed copy of America's recognition of Israel.
04:18 Spicy stuff. So give us some of the background on Stitchin because people will be surprised to hear how involved he was with the Zionist cause before any of the Anunnaki stuff came into the picture. Yeah, I mean, if you look up his name in different sources, particularly in Israel and abroad, he's known for the Zionism and not so much the Anunnaki books. It's usually a little byline, like an afterthought, like, oh, and he was also an author of interesting topics that question our place in the universe. So they don't even go on a deep dive there on, like, well, it's about the aliens. All right. So they try to prop him up as somebody a little more trustworthy in that regard.
05:00 But yeah, he was born in Azerbaijan, but he was actually raised in the British Mandate for Palestine, which was the League of Nations mandate administered under the United Kingdom from like 1920 to 1948. Its whole purpose, that region, for anyone unfamiliar, was to facilitate the establishment of a Jewish national home. You know, so putting down a foundation, right? And so he was from the very beginning this advocate for Zionism. His wife was too. I mean, this was something that brought them together. So he was involved in promoting Israel. He was the founding director of the American Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry because he was actually an economic historian.
05:42 He studied economics in London. So that was kind of a core of what he was interested in. He was also the chair of the American Israel Pavilion at the New York World's Fair, which was kind of interesting. And his wife did a whole lot of things too. But the thing that got me sort of more intrigued than ever was this particular document that I came across, which was this Truman document. While preparing for this American Israel Pavilion from this world, this fair that he was doing, he met with the Truman Library and he had this copy of this press release, essentially, that was stating that the United States recognized Israel as a
06:26 legitimate state. So all it was was a press release. It was just like kind of roughly typed. It was from May 14th, 1948. Immediate release. It says statement by the president. This government has been informed that a Jewish state has been proclaimed in Palestine and recognition has been requested by the provisional government thereof. The United States recognizes the provisional government as the de facto authority of the new state of Israel. And that was it. That was all that was ever done about Israel. And so, you know, I mean, that was a very interesting document. And his goal was to actually get it signed by the president so that it would be an official document, which he did.
07:09 He took a copy of it to Truman and it was signed in 1965. And so that became the actual signed recognition of the state of Israel from the United States. And that was like the guy who wrote about the Anunnaki. And it's just kind of funny because it's kind of, it's a big deal. It's that is in a museum now. It was auctioned off. There is a letter that was sent out in recognition from the Embassy of Israel in 1987. And that document is available too. I have that on my sub stack, but it's also available from the archives of the museum because it's real. All this is real. And it says, Dear Mr. Sitchin, thank you very much for your letter of July 28th.
07:53 I read with great interest your vivid recollection of your meeting with President Truman in 1965. We most certainly would be honored to accept your kind offer to loan us your copy of President Truman's instrument of recognition. It would be our intention to place the document on public display here at our embassy for the duration of Israel's upcoming 40th anniversary year. In this way, it would serve as a living symbol of the closeness and friendship that frames this special relationship between our two countries. My colleagues at our embassy will contact you by in the near future so that we can finalize arrangements concerning this matter.
08:32 Once again, permit me to thank you on behalf of the Embassy of Israel for your interest in joining with us in making Israel's 40th anniversary. And that is from the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C., August 28th, 1987. So this is he, these are very, these are primary source documents documenting his active involvement in making sure that the state of Israel was recognized by the United States and elsewhere. And so on one hand, you could say, oh, that's great. You know, he was working for political cause he believed in, et cetera. Maybe that's different from his work with the so-called, you know, Anunnaki and whatever they're doing there.
09:10 And it's, you know, so you can make a lot of, I guess, apologies for that. But I think you have to kind of look a little deeper then into the history of the field of sumerology and Assyriology to begin with. And then you also have to consider, too, looking at the trajectory of Sitchin's, shall we say, ministry on the topic. His very last lecture was actually about Jerusalem and how important it is that we make sure Jerusalem stays protected and because it's like part of where the chosen people were from and where they're going to be back. And essentially, he's saying the Anunnaki were those people. They're the ones that are coming with that noble blood again and they're going to be back there.
09:53 And he's making all of of these strange, almost supremacist claims. And that was his very last lecture. It's available. It's a little difficult to get. You have to pay like two bucks or something. I think you have to go to his website because some of those things are on lockdown, but just go there and you can download it and watch his very last lecture before he dies. And then you start looking at things in retrospect and understanding that's the lens that he was researching under. And you start to see a different picture of possibly the Anunnaki story as he portrays it and perhaps why it is so popular right now and being pushed so hard. Yeah, that's a great summary. And it does seem like he was assigned the job. When you look at his previous assignments, it does just seem like another gig.
10:39 And in the immortal words of Kendrick Lamar, it seems motivated by this idea that they're not like us. It's motivated by the idea that the Goy are something different and we have a divine right to rule over them. I mean, it's in the Bible, it's the same thing, but it's kind of repackaged in a sci-fi way for an alternative crowd. And I mean, mission accomplished again. It just seems like it's been very successful. The thing is that I don't, I don't know how many people who are fans of ancient aliens and the ET astronaut hypothesis, I don't think they make the connection there, but I guess subliminally, subconsciously, they're eating up propaganda that suggests that there is a small group of people with special blood that should be ruling over the rest of us because they're the descendants of these Anunnaki.
