A Newer, Older, Satan

Professor Henry Ansgar Kelly of UCLA- whose books include “The Devil, Demonology, and Witchcraft” (1968) and “The Devil at Baptism” (1985)- has released a new work in which he argues that Satan has been given a bum rap. Still- says Kelly- his original biography can be reconstructed.

“Christians traditionally think of Satan as Lucifer, God’s enemy, who rebelled against Him out of pride and then caused Adam and Eve to sin. But, as Kelly shows, this portrayal is not biblical but a scenario invented by the early Fathers of the Church which became the ‘New Biography of Satan’. The ‘Original Biography’ must be reconstructed from the New Testament where Satan is the same sort of celestial functionary we see in the Book of Job – appointed to govern the world, specifically to monitor and test human beings.”

The difference may seem subtle to most secular folk, but the psychological recasting of the Lucifer character- both in ancient and modern times- is a key component of the history of social control. Just ask the Catholic church or (on the other hand) the Masons. The idea being put forward by Kelly is that the Satan of the New Testament is no different than the Satan of the Old Testament- in other words, he is still working for God, as a tester of Man. If accepted, this idea would shine a new light on what it means to work “for” Satan.

For those interested in researching the Luciferian themes within the Masonic and Illuminati schools, it is therefore of interest and possible significance that this book has arrived at the moment in time that it has. I don’t know if I’ll like what I read or not- but I know I’m buying the book.

Microbes & Mushrooms from Outer Space

I really enjoyed the explanation for the extraterrestrial origins of human intelligence put forward by the late Terence McKenna, who hypothesized mushrooms from outer space that took root in our brains and changed the whole ball game.

Certain types of spores- the theory goes- are simple enough to survive such a journey. They could have been sent hurtling through space by the devastating explosion of their home world or for any other reason. But whatever the cause… A species of mushroom spores could have then drifted aimlessly through space until landing on the moist, fetid earth of- well- Earth. Once settled in and growing nicely, these spores may have been ingested by simple humanoids living in small tribal societies- mutating their brains into new forms- creating spontaneous shifts in perception and giving rise to such “human” potentials as art, religion, and psychic ability.

We Are Not Alone

This is a David Icke video mashup I made using onetruemedia’s online montage tool. It’s a pretty cool system- I’m looking forward to playing with it some more, because this little clip is just a test run- I’ve got more kewl stuph coming up. But until then- here you go…

Down Memory Lane to Area 51

Lately it seems there has a resurgence of interest in Area 51. This was one of the old-school neighborhoods I grew up in, conspiracy-wise, and it brings back many fond memories. The first time I learned of such things I was mesmerized. From the interviews of Bob Lazar to Bill Cooper and his detailed information on secret government treaties, hidden underground bases, and the alien “O.H. Krlll” who we kept alive for years on a diet consisting partly of strawberry ice cream, to the story of Phil Shneider and his strange ongoing relationship with the secret government running the show in the “underground theater”- these were the incidents I cut my teeth on. In those days of dreadfully slow modems and sans-web I found my information through painstaking research and at the expense of hundreds of hours. Of course, I wouldn’t have traded any of it for the world.

What This Carnage Is All About

I seem to be on a major David Icke roll these days- lately it seems every time I turn around there are more people talking about him and his theories. Just today I came across a recent TV appearance (see previous post) and three seemingly-unrelated blogs where Icke has suddenly become a topic of conversation. And to top it all off, I just opened my email to read my Yahoo Groups digests and what do I see? A new copy of the David Icke newsletter has gone out- and is quoted in near-entirety. With a link to the rest. (Warning- there are a couple pretty graphic photos of severely wounded children at the top of the page.)

The title of Icke’s new piece is “What is this carnage really all about?” and the subtitle is “The story that so very few people have the research or the guts to tell.” Well, he certainly has guts- you gotta give him that. Because you’ll find nothing about reptiles in this issue, no shapeshifting, no alien visitations, and no references to “The Matrix.” Instead Icke lays out a practically canonical overview of the conspiratorial view of history as applied to the question of Israel, the Rothschilds, and the Illuminati. A story in which the vast majority of Jews have been sold out and misled by a tiny cabal- which holds even greater power today than it did in 1948.

Icke Returns to Wogan

Forgive me for being out of the loop, but Britain is a continent and an ocean away from me, and as a result I sometimes miss Wogan.

However- thanks to the miracle of online digital media- I just got to see a January episode of his “Now and Then” series to which David Icke returned as a guest after 15 years. You may remember that it was on that show- by host Terry Wogan’s own wry witted tongue- that the transformation of David Icke from famous sportscaster to laughing stock was locked in, when Wogan told Icke point-blankly that the audience was laughing at him, not with him.

Looking at videos of that episode I think Icke handled it well on the surface. Still, in later interviews and appearances he would often return to that appearance as a seriously pivotal moment in his life- and not a positive one- bringing about a horrifyingly fast plummet from the heights to the depths of public opinion.

But that was then, and this is now.

Extraterrestrial Profiles

Ever wonder how many different types of aliens have visited Earth? Wonder no longer, the answer is here. The following list of all known extraterrestrial lifeforms was compiled by Mark Kimmel, author of Trillion, Decimal, and his latest work, Creating the Cosmic Paradigm.

David Icke: The Lizards and The Jews

As regular readers are aware- David Icke is the main public advocate of the Reptilian Shapeshifter Theory on the secret nature of the Illuminati. He has come under attack on numerous occassions by the Anti-Defamation League- who claim that when he says “shape-shifting reptiles” he really means “Jews.”

Recently I found a few episodes of the superlative documentary series The Secret Rulers of the World- narrated by British journalist Jon Ronson- while browsing around Google Video. This is a great series and I recommend it highly. This particular portion was also partly the basis for Ronson’s book Them: Adventures With Extremists, an excerpt of which can be read here. Ronson is a top class documentarian and a totally unbiased observer- you’ll see what I mean when you watch events unfold on both sides of the battle in this episode- David Icke: The Lizards and The Jews

Buzz Aldrin saw UFO on Apollo 11 Mission

The second man to walk on the moon- Buzz Aldrin- says that the Apollo astronauts sighted a UFO while on the Apollo 11 mission and that NASA bosses covered it up.

But the astronauts themselves showed great care not to talk openly about their sighting- even as it was occurring. Aldrin relates the story in a recent documentary now airing in the UK- “Obviously the three of us weren’t going to blurt out, ‘Hey, Houston, we’ve got something moving alongside of us and we don’t know what it is, you know?
