Topic: Mithras

The discussion explores the link between Bell Labs and the mythological figure Cadmus, noting that "Lucent Technologies" shares a linguistic root with the "Shining One." Knowles argues that the Book of Enoch describes the Watchers teaching humanity metallurgy and meteorology specifically for the purpose of waging war. This "matrix of secret societies" is said to have reached its peak during the Industrial Revolution, eventually feeding into the modern military-industrial complex and UFO lore.

Tracy Twyman describes how her research into the ancient Roman Temple of Mithras in London intersected with Michael Bloomberg's construction of his new European headquarters. The building is situated on the exact site where the original temple was discovered in 1954. While the novel features a villain based on Bloomberg, Twyman clarifies that the character's nefarious activities are fictionalized for the narrative.

The discussion explores the link between Cybele, often worshipped as a meteorite or "stone from heaven," and Mithras, who is traditionally depicted as being born from a rock. Twyman suggests these myths represent a form of panspermia or the manifestation of a deity from a cosmic egg. She references scholars like Franz Cumont and Jesse Weston to support the historical connection between these two mystery cults.

The technical accuracy of James Shelby Downard’s work is questioned, specifically regarding the exact coordinates of Dealey Plaza relative to the 33rd parallel. Despite these "approximations," the core premise that major public traumas create synchronistic ripples in a living information system is defended. The discussion notes the presence of Masonic symbolism and the relocation of a Mithras Phanus statue near the Dallas assassination site as evidence of intentional energy manipulation.

The mascot for the Paris 2024 Olympics, a Phrygian cap, is identified as a potent symbol of the god Mithras rather than just a simple icon of liberty. This choice is linked to France’s current national anxiety regarding its former colonies in Africa and the conflict in Ukraine. The segment explains how the "Liberty cap" was adopted by Masonic revolutionaries to serve as a secular alternative to traditional religious icons.

The guests examine the use of idols and symbols in public spaces like Rockefeller Center and state houses. The Greek defines "power" as the direction and speed of force, arguing that symbols direct human thought. They discuss how mass events like the Super Bowl halftime show function as rituals where the collective energy of the participants provides power to ancient deities.

Greg Carlwood introduces the theory that the global elite may worship Sumerian or Babylonian entities rather than Abrahamic ones, citing the work of Chris Knowles. This "secret religion" is said to involve the worship of the Watchers, Mithras, and Moloch, hidden behind public monuments like those at Rockefeller Center. Green responds by questioning why Judeo-Christian values remain the dominant public narrative if these older gods are the true apex of the power pyramid.

Chris Knowles returns for his tenth appearance to discuss the increasing visibility of occult symbols in public spaces. He cites the installation of a winged jaguar at the United Nations, a demonic figure on the National Mall, and a Medusa statue at a New York courtroom as evidence of a "full court press" by global elites. Knowles argues that what was once hidden is now being revealed through these grotesques, suggesting that those orchestrating these events no longer fear recrimination.

The discussion shifts to the Mithraic cult as the primary framework for modern elite occultism. Knowles explains that Mithras is synonymous with Perseus and represents the ability to rise above the ecliptic and escape the influence of the Archons. In this cosmological view, Saturn serves as the gateway to the stars, and the Mithraic mysteries focus on achieving immortality by transcending the bounds of time and the planetary zodiac.

Stemke discusses the iconographic similarities between the Roman god Mithras and the Statue of Liberty, both of which appear in the Builders Mural at the Gateway Arch. He points out that artistic depictions of Mithras often feature an arch similar to Utah's Rainbow Bridge. This cross-cultural symbolism suggests a shared esoteric tradition regarding gateways between the earthly and heavenly realms.

The arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell is characterized as a ritual event with suspiciously light charges. Knowles pivots to discuss Michael Bloomberg's decision to move an ancient Mithraic temple into the center of his corporate headquarters in London as evidence of elite occult interests.

The influence of Mithraic mysteries is identified in major American symbols, including the AT&T logo, Rockefeller Center, and the Statue of Liberty. Knowles argues that the Statue of Liberty represents Mithras rather than a female figure, citing the sculptor's use of his brother as a model.

The modern elite's interest in ancient symbols is highlighted by Michael Bloomberg's involvement with the Temple of Mithras in London. This connection to Babylonian and Roman mystery traditions suggests that powerful figures still value these ancient "technologies" of influence. The discussion also traces the roots of Egyptian magic to the theft of royal power technologies from pyramids, which were eventually miniaturized by priests into the Hermetic traditions used today.

The elite are theorized to be using astrology to manage the current tumultuous transition period to retain their power. Symbols of divine kingship, such as the Mithraic lion and Babylonian imagery, are increasingly visible in public culture. These symbols are interpreted as a "doubling down" on sovereignty formulas during a time when established powers are traditionally at risk of being replaced by new forces.

Chris Knowles analyzes the Trump administration through the archetype of Imperial Rome, comparing the influx of generals like Kelly, Mattis, and McMaster to a ruling triumvirate or the Praetorian Guard. Trump's personal aesthetic and proximity to Mithras-related statues in New Jersey are cited as evidence of a "Roman Imperial LARP." The transition from the Obama era's Egyptian themes to Trump's Caesar-like motif is presented as a shift in the elite's symbolic framework.

The hosts analyze the symbolism of Mithras, particularly the "slaying of the bull" (tauroctony), as an allegory for conquering the lower material nature. Joseph relates this to the solar year, the constellations of Taurus and Scorpio, and the concept of the "spiritual sun" found in the writings of Manly P. Hall.

Michael Bloomberg purchased land in the City of London's financial district to construct a massive European headquarters on the site of an ancient Roman Temple of Mithras. The temple, originally discovered in 1954 during post-war excavations of Londinium, was temporarily moved but has been restored to its original location within the new Bloomberg development. Twyman notes the significance of this specific geographic point in the history of London's financial and Roman roots.

Mithras is traditionally depicted emerging from a rock holding a knife and a torch, symbolizing his birth into and conquest of the universe. The hosts discuss the Prometheus statue at Rockefeller Center, suggesting it may actually represent Mithras due to its posture of emerging from stone rather than being chained to it. This iconography points to a hidden layer of solar worship and elite alignment with Mithraic traditions in modern public art.

Freddy Silva explains that the original meaning of resurrection was a "living resurrection" involving a metaphor for a secret initiation ritual rather than a physical return from the dead. He cites the banned gospels of Philip and Thomas, which describe an "imposter church" that replaced the true Christian brotherhood. This ritual, which predates Christianity by 3,500 years, involved a voluntary near-death experience to achieve spiritual self-development, a practice praised by Plato and Pythagoras.

The Roman Catholic Church consolidated power by co-opting the story of Mithra, a Persian god-man whose life parallels the Jesus narrative, including a virgin birth and resurrection. Emperor Constantine and the early Church suppressed the original mystery schools to establish a patriarchal intermediary system that required a "paycheck" for access to God. This transition involved the destruction of intellectual centers like the Library of Alexandria to eliminate challenges to the new religious orthodoxy.
