Topic: Empire

The conversation explores how historical power structures and empires have systematically disempowered the lower echelons of society by discouraging self-sufficiency. Modern progress is criticized for reducing the percentage of the population engaged in food production to roughly one percent. This shift is characterized as a theft of solar access and nature, keeping the masses dependent on centralized systems.

The symbolism of the horse is deeply integral to Iranian culture, featuring prominently in regional mythology and the history of the Nisean breed. Carlwood connects this to the Year of the Fire Horse, suggesting the current geopolitical chaos represents the "predator class" of the American empire resisting its inevitable decline. He encourages listeners to act as a sanctuary for others during this period of transition and global restructuring.

The methodology of Kautz-Vella's research is defined as "intersubjective," where multiple people in a healing session independently perceive the same specific historical or energetic details. He claims this method provides a more accurate view of history than textbooks, citing consistent observations of the Roman Empire as a particularly "ugly" period. This collective retrieval of soul memory allows for a coherent picture of humanity's origins across multiple "creations."

Professor Jiang provides historical context for the 17th-century Jewish diaspora, citing the trauma of the 1492 expulsion from Spain and subsequent persecutions. When Sabbatai Zevi was given the choice by the Ottoman Sultan to convert to Islam or face execution, his choice to convert shocked his followers. Jiang explains the theological justification used by Zevi's adherents: that the Messiah had to descend into sin and conversion to redeem those who had previously been forced to abandon their faith.

Professor Jiang explores the alleged alliance between the British Empire's naval power and Sabbatean networks to destabilize rivals like the Ottoman Empire. He suggests the Rothschild family acted as a bridge between transnational capital and these secret sects. The segment draws parallels between British sponsorship of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia, the Bolsheviks in Russia, and modern extremist groups as tools of imperial spycraft.

The guests discuss how the ancient Mystery traditions of Greece, such as the Eleusinian and Samothrace mysteries, were suppressed when Christianity aligned with the Roman Empire. They criticize modern perspectives, including those of Tucker Carlson, for labeling these traditions as "pagan Satanism." Steven argues that the pre-Socratics represented the "last stand" of a direct connection to the divine before it was institutionalized.

The discussion compares the current state of the United States to the fall of the Roman Republic, citing extreme debt, economic inequality, and the monopolization of resources by entities like BlackRock and Vanguard. Professor Jiang describes the transition of civilizations from open societies to bureaucratic and eventually authoritarian states. He identifies Donald Trump as the first of several potential demagogues emerging from public discontent with a stagnant, ossified political elite.

The "Lone Gunmen" 9/11 sync is debated as either a weird coincidence or a deliberate warning from dissenters within the government. Figures like Bill Cooper had warned of a large-scale event involving planes being blamed on Bin Laden months before it occurred. Similar imagery appeared in the works of Jack Kirby as far back as 1984, suggesting these themes were present in the cultural subconscious.

The episode concludes with a song titled "The Bad Guys Have Won," which features lyrics about resisting the system through hidden knowledge and nature's gifts. The lyrics encourage listeners to "melt down the pennies" to find strange effects from real copper. The song reinforces the themes of the episode, suggesting that the world can be a paradise if one changes their mind and embraces suppressed energy truths.

Greg Carlwood introduces researcher Robert Frederick to discuss the hidden life of Sir Francis Bacon and the origins of the British Empire. Frederick, who hosts the podcast "The Hidden Life is Best," explores the influence of secret societies, Masonic lodges, and the Knights Templar on modern history. The conversation sets the stage for examining Bacon as a central figure in globalism, the surveillance state, and the Shakespeare authorship mystery.

The Sola Busca deck's cosmology is described as "wholly malefic," focusing on specific planets and fixed stars used for attack sorcery, or maleficium. Adams argues that this tradition is superior to popular grimoires like the Key of Solomon, tracing its origins directly to the Byzantine imperial elite. This "learned sorcery" represents a sophisticated stream of magic that merged with Italian elite culture following the fall of Byzantium.

The D'Este family of Ferrara is identified as the primary driver behind the Sola Busca deck's creation. Adams traces the family's lineage from the Italian Renaissance to the Hanoverian monarchs of England, including George I, II, and III. This suggests a continuous network of power—sometimes called the Brotherhood of Saturn—that transitioned from the Renaissance to the British Empire and eventually the United States.

Ben Joseph Stewart challenges the "Out of Africa" theory by citing findings of ancient European DNA in Florida and 150,000-year-old human activity in San Diego. He discusses the presence of African kings in the Americas prior to the slave trade and the impossible construction timelines of 19th-century World's Fairs. The segment references Anatoly Fomenko’s "New Chronology," which suggests a radical re-dating of biblical and world history.

Greg Carlwood highlights inconsistencies in NASA's satellite imagery of Earth and the lack of star movement in time-lapse photography. They discuss the work of Randall Carlson regarding landscape impacts and W.J. Perry’s book "Children of the Sun." The conversation emphasizes that the Egyptian Empire may have been conquered by a more sophisticated African power that has been omitted from conventional history.

The discussion moves to 740 AD and the "Donation of Constantine," a forged document used by the Papacy to claim political and spiritual authority over all earthly kingdoms. Hanlon explains how Pope Stephen used this letter to convince King Pepin and the Carolingian dynasty to protect the Vatican from invading forces. This event is identified as the transition from the early church to the Holy Roman Empire, establishing the "Divine Right of Kings" through deceptive administrative means.

Knowles discusses his book, *The Endless American Midnight*, which traces the process of "disenchantment" and the rise of the "woke contagion." He argues that the United States is a "late empire" on the verge of dissolution, similar to 3rd-century Rome. The book is intended as a tool for readers to "break the spells" of the elite and stop viewing themselves as cogs in a machine.

Bosley provides an update on his current creative endeavors, including a documentary series on the "Esoteric Napoleon" and the development of "Empire of the Wheel" into a television series. He mentions the release of several audiobooks, including "The Mystery of Ingersoll Lockwood," and the growth of his personal YouTube channel. The segment concludes the interview with a focus on his transition into multimedia formats.

The discussion shifts to Emperor Constantine’s role in consolidating the Roman narrative through Christianity in 300 AD. LaCroix claims the Council of Nicaea was a tool for gatekeeping, where texts like the Book of Enoch were removed to maintain a specific control scheme. He argues that many Christian moral codes, such as the Ten Commandments, were actually co-opted from much older Sumerian and Egyptian sources like the 42 Laws of Maat. This transition marked a shift from spiritual "ascension teachings" to a system of dogmatic governance.

Dr. Stephen Skinner, a leading authority on classical magic and the author of over 36 books, joins the program to discuss the restoration of ancient magical texts. The conversation highlights the historical suppression of magical knowledge by the Holy Roman Empire and the Christian church, which viewed direct spiritual access as a threat to institutional dominance. Dr. Skinner’s academic background in Classics and his role in introducing authentic Feng Shui to the West are also noted.

The history of Flushing Meadows is linked to the British Empire, noting its role as a headquarters during the Revolutionary War and its connection to the borough name "Queens." The 1939 World's Fair is highlighted for a "false flag" explosion allegedly orchestrated by William Stevenson (the inspiration for James Bond) to draw America into World War II. Additionally, the 2023 coronation of King Charles III is linked to the Westminster Kennel Club dog show held at the same site.
