RTF invitation: Unpacking the Ancient Alien Psyop featuring Dr. Heather Lynn

Matthew Ehret — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 20:34:09 GMT

I am pleased to announce that this Sunday’s RTF lecture will be delivered by Dr. Heather Lynn who will tackle the topic of ‘Ancient Aliens’ from the walking psyop that is Zacharia Sichin to Erich von Daniken and beyond.

Dr. Lynn will showcase evidence that the popular mythos of ‘Annunaki overlords’ that created and enslaved early humanity has less to do with alien gods and much more to do with sociopathic oligarchical families and high priests who wished their slaves to be docile and obedient.

Speaker bio: Heather Lynn is an author, historian, and renegade archaeologist tracing the hidden architecture beneath the modern world. An adjunct professor of humanities and a frequent guest on History Channel’s Ancient Aliens, she produces The H-Files, a popular deep dive series on Substack, and is the host of The Midnight Academy podcast. The author of several books, including Evil Archaeology, The Anunnaki Connection, and The Anunnaki Revelation, she lives in northeast Ohio. Her newest book Codex Machina: How AI Is Decoding Ancient Civilizations, Technologies, and Lost Languages in Our Search for Meaning is available for pre-order on Amazon here

Jesus in the Sky with Diamonds... a Holographic UFO Disclosure on the Horizon

Matthew Ehret — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:04:06 GMT

In this episode of Man in America, I sat down with Seth Holehouse to expose the hidden agenda behind the alien disclosure push, and why it might be the biggest tool ever built to replace Christianity. We trace the occult roots behind today's UFO narratives through Project Blue Beam, Operation Phoenix, and CIA mind control programs like MK Ultra, all the way back to a Luciferian doctrine that's been rebranding itself for over a century.

Once you see the pattern, you won't watch another "disclosure" headline the same way again.

Keynes vs the Austrian School: Two Mental Diseases Designed to Destroy the American System

Matthew Ehret — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 10:37:11 GMT

If you thought the only alternative to the economic theories of John Maynard Keynes were found in the Austrian School of Friedrich von Hayek… or if you thought the only alternative to the theories of Karl Marx’s socialism were found in the system of Adam Smith’s Laissez faire capitalism, then you need to watch this jam packed conversation with Crypto Rich on the topic of the controlled dialectic of the Austrian vs British schools as two equally dysfunctional systems that were literally created to destroy any understanding of the authentic American System of political economy.

In this video, you will discover the strange roots of the Austrian School of Carl von Menger which emerged in the bowels of the Hapsburg Empire in the 19th century and which pioneered the world’s first Corporatist fascist model of government in Austria in 1919 under the guiding budget cutting hand of Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek.

You will also discover why FDR was never a Keynesian, and why the eugenics loving, world government promoting pedophile John Maynard Keynes had much more in common with his life long friend Friedrich von Hayek than history books would have you believe.

Cosmism and Its Enemies: The Origins and Danger of the Traditionalist Movement

Matthew Ehret — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 10:39:27 GMT

In this episode of 6G Agenda, I had the opportunity to speak about the Cosmist faction of Bolsheviks around Alexander Bogdanov (promoter Transhumanism, and God-making) whose blood transfusion innovations sought to achieve physical immortality yet which ironically led to his early death in 1928. Sadly, Bogdanov’s mechanistic spirituality did not die with him, but went on to influence generations of Cyberneticists, and Silicon Valley transhumanists including Peter Thiel.

More importantly, we had the chance to contrast this Cosmist/Trans-humanist school with it’s controlled dialectic… Traditionalism, as promoted by the followers of Rene Guenon and his followers.

How both of these movements dialectically danced together in the construction of the Esalen Institute, and the modern counterculture operation from the 1960s to the present is evaluated at some length.

How to Debunk the A.I Cult:

Matthew Ehret — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:39:00 GMT

After going through two presentations on the dark truth of Nikola Tesla (available here and here), my course on the Tesla Myth continues with this third episode dealing with Tesla’s role in shaping the Artificial Intelligence cult and fourth industrial revolution.

This episode asks the question: must technological progress always increase at the expense of personal freedom, as the transhumanists insist, or is this pervasive belief just repackaged Malthus with better marketing?

Expect a wild tour through mechanical history, from ancient Greek automatons to Vaucason's pooping duck to a tiger that eats British soldiers, all building toward the real showdown: Edgar Allan Poe versus a fraudulent chess playing machine, and Beethoven versus a hoaxter who tried to steal his symphony.

It's part detective story, part music history, and part warning shot at anyone ready to hand over their mind to a "singularity."

Come for the automatons, stay for the takedown of the cult of artificial intelligence.

Here are some of the resources referenced during the show for those who want to take their cultural education to another level...

How Xi Jinping Became Hitler: Anarchist Syllogisms and the Clash of Multipolarities

Matthew Ehret — Mon, 20 Jul 2026 11:04:09 GMT

You are about to read my first official response to the slew of slanders floating the internet proclaiming Cynthia and I to be shills for China and Russia.

Typically my policy is to ignore these sorts of slanders as I expect our work speaks for itself.

However, due to the fact that they appear to be multiplying constantly, and since many people don’t have time to read everything we have to say about the topics discussed, I figured the time to issue a response of some sort is in order.

In this response I decided to avoid naming the particular authors of the slander campaign launched in early 2026 against us. Instead, I will keep my comments reserved for the higher realm of ideas and methodology which I think unites all of the haters out there.

Rectifying Terms (or Why Not All Anarchists are Created Equal)

First and foremost, I want to clarify my position on the ideology known as “anarchism” ever so briefly since this is the common ideological thread tying all of those who have spread slanders about us over the past twelve months.

To start, I will say that a healthy idea of anarchism exists which many of my close friends and allies identify with and which I respect immensely.

This healthy anarchism revolves around 1) the love of freedom, 2) the hate of tyranny, and 3) the ambition to elevate our culture in order to harmonize our individual subjective passions with the objective needs of the human species as a whole.

There are many good people who self-identify as anarchists who think in these terms and who I consider allies. They believe, much as I do, that as society increases in cultural excellence, and as the individuals become more strong on all levels of mind, body and soul, outward laws become less necessary as our behavior becomes increasingly shaped by internal moral laws.

So that would be what I call ‘healthy anarchism’, and I’m good with that and even identify with that as well.

But like all “isms”, there is no singular behemoth consensus on what “anarchism” means. There are some anarchists who have fallen prey to ideological traps that I believe, cause them to conclude that any time a group of people have organized to successfully attain political power, those humans become immediately corrupt and tyrannical (since it is assumed that human beings can only use power for evil but never for the good).

The issue of slander campaigns

The self-identified anarchists who have launched into attacks on myself, Cynthia, and other journalists have some good qualities. They are typically good at identifying evil agendas often overlooked by mainstream journalism.

This is very useful and laudable.

However there is a strange tendency to overlook any evidence that any battles against this evil have ever existed either now or at any time in history.

George Washington? Freemasonic slave owner.

Benjamin Franklin? Hellfire Club childkiller.

Alexander Hamilton? Rothschild banker puppet.

Abraham Lincoln? Abusive tyrant who hated freedom.

Hellen Keller? Fake deaf, mute who lied about learning other languages (seriously this is out there).

Franklin Roosevelt? Corrupt banker stooge big government freemason.

John F Kennedy? Mafia run corrupt hothead who probably killed Marilyn Monroe.

Martin Luther King Jr? Drug addict rapist sex-maniac hypocrite.

Robert F. Kennedy? Sex maniac mafia ghoul who probably killed Marilyn Monroe.

Pretty much anyone you thought represented a movement towards goodness can easily be reframed as a villain, because you should be aware that there has never been a fight for goodness against evil which wasn’t controlled by evil.

But this dark reading of influential heroes of the recent past, also applies to deep history as well.

Socrates and Plato? Nothing to see there since they were just pedophile oligarchs.

Did you think Cicero was a good person trying to stop the Roman Republic from decaying into Empire? Nope. He was just a corrupt slum lord who did everything for money.

What about Jesus you say? You fool. He was just a neo-Mithraic construct generated by Emperor Vespasian to create a new religious cult to better control the world.

St. Paul? He was just a misogynistic hoaxster who turned Jesus into an institution in order to impose the power of the Roman Empire onto the world.

Did you think St. Augustine was a good person? Think again. He was just a self-hating Manichean who established a religion of shame so that the Church could control you like a slave.

Did you think the philosophers, artists and scientists such as Raymon Lull, Nicholas Cusa, Leonardo DaVinci, Nicolo Machiavelli, Luca Pacioli, Johannes Kepler, Johann Sebastian Bach, Gottfried Leibniz, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig von Beethoven were inspiring men who discovered the laws of the heavens in the service of humanity?

Nope. Think again. They were all just black magicians, alchemists, fascists, rapists and pedophiles so don’t waste your time studying them.

As you can see, this game of spinning dark webs around historically significant individuals really has no limit.

Everything is Controlled Opposition

From the cynical perspective which of the black pilled dark web spinner, there is a general belief that literally ALL revolutions for freedom, ALL improvements in the arts towards improved expressions of Beauty, ALL advances in science and statecraft were always different flavors of controlled opposition.

Perhaps due to this lack of any sensitivity to the power of humanity to rise to greatness and even conspire towards good goals, there is a tendency to label anyone who believes that power has been used for the good of humanity to be merely witting (or unwitting) agents of disinformation.

But doesn’t this also presume that the feudal oligarchy which we all admit conspires multi-generationally is almost a form of deity that has never faced any actual threat since all opposition to feudal controls are illusory?

Would it be easier or harder to control you, if you were led to believe that all of the heroes that broke free of the mental and physical constraints demanded by the empire were actually just deviant pedophile agents who served evil?

Could it be possible that having influencers teaching their followers that all political power is evil… may itself be subduing potential resistance to the forces of the Roman Empire now seeking to restore its ancient glory as I write this?

Do What thou Wilt

The anarcho-influencer will often pay lip service to the words ‘everything is nuanced’, and ‘there are only shades of grey with bits of good and evil mixed together’… but do they even mean that?

When you really dive into anarchist writings seeking examples of the good, one is quick to discover that there are only different flavors of bad guys and controlled opposition.

No one actually virtuous exists, or has ever existed wielding political power.

I sense that much of this is rooted in some form of radical empiricism (belief in sense certainty).

This radical empiricism (sometimes dubbed ‘Positivism’) extrapolates generalities from small sets of sensory data, and will have you say “since the USA is a fake evil hive of hypocrisy today, thus it must have always been a fake evil hive of hypocrisy and empire for all time past” OR inversely, “if the USA is doing good today, thus everything about the USA’s history was awesome”.

See how that works? If today is shit, then all of history was shit. Recipe for brain-rot.

Anyone who believes the USA to have ever participated in anything genuine that benefited humanity at any time, is thus a psy-oped idiot, and should be ignored immediately.

Syllogistic Magic: How Xi Becomes Hitler

If you would like to see how the syllogistic programming works, then start with an empirical fact:

A) China uses national regulation, and central planning to do things, just as the USA used national regulation and central planning under Washington, Lincoln, McKinley, FDR and JFK...

Then follow that up with a pattern association:

B) Fascists like Hitler, and Mussolini also used central planning to do things.

Now leap to a bold conclusion:

C) China must be just as fascist as Lincoln, Hitler, FDR and JFK were.

Rinse. Repeat.

Ignore all nuanced positions or contextual considerations that would threaten your clean syllogism.

Do you know who else has come to this conclusion through the same pattern association?

The Frankfurt School’s Authoritarian Personality Psyop

It is no small irony that the founders of the Frankfurt School which anarchists typically despise literally generated Critical Theory and birthed the abomination called ‘woke-ism’ based on this species of syllogism.

The Frankfurt School priests such as Marcuse, George Lucaks, Adorno, Walter Benjamin et al. asserted that all power and social norms which shape our thinking are caused by evil agendas to reward rich white males as class species, and thus all systems that emerged during the past 2000 years of patriarchical society are hypocritical and deserve to be overthrown by the oppressed.

This syllogism is at the heart of the entire educational system and the massively influential Frankfurt School book ‘The Authoritarian Personality’ overseen by Theodor Adorno attempted to ‘prove’ that all men who have ever sought political power for any reason were all equally tyrannical sociopaths due to their very desire to use political power in the advancement of their notion of what is true.

[Adorno and all Frankfurt School ideologues say this is wrong because they are wise enough to know that there is no such thing as objective truth…]

In my humble assessment, Syllogistic logic which was first popularized by Aristotle, and then enshrined in the astronomy of Ptolemy and the mathematical logic of Euclid over 2000 years ago is a form of black magic. And it works by putting the mind of anyone who uses it into a cage of formal logic on the one hand while also believing in the lie that truth is somehow excreted out of the five senses.

Edgar Allan Poe identified this two-fold trap in his essay ‘Eureka: An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe’ as ‘Creeping’ vs ‘Crawling’.

I believe this is why occultists such as Averroes, Marcilio Ficinno, John Dee, and Francis Bacon, put so much work into popularizing Aristotle’s method of thinking with John Dee even devoting years translating Euclid’s elements into English. His occult follower Francis Bacon inverted Aristotle’s method to create an equally sterile method of thinking called Induction (vs Aristotle’s Deduction) but equally relied on Syllogistic axioms to build his edifices.

In many (but not all) cases, the anarchist influencer will not only denigrate any ‘big government’ advocates in history, but they will go further and even say that murder of ‘big government’ leaders such as Abraham Lincoln, Czar Alexander II, William Garfield, William McKinley or French President Sadi Carnot were great blessings that should be celebrated.

The fact anarchists were used to murder literally ALL of those leaders which made World War I possible is probably just a total coincidence…

Try a little test: Google the above world leaders who were assassinated between the Civil War and WW1 and count how many were killed by assassins brainwashed in proto-MK Ultra anarcho-communes.

Measuring ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’

When arriving at conclusions of who is doing ‘good’ or ‘evil’ either now or throughout history, some philosophical depth is needed to ensure that our standard of judgement is premised on reasonable criteria.

The only thing that qualifies someone as being ‘good’ from the radical anarchist’s mental filtration system is whether or not that person fought to eliminate laws, and enhance everybody’s ability to be left alone to do what they wilt (as the whole of the law)... inversely, ‘evil’ in this Manichean worldview is pretty much anything that has used laws, rules, systems that constrain everyone’s’ right to “do what they wilt.”

Everything that uses laws and planning for the general good = evil because it limits each individuals desires to do what they want, when they want.

Does this sound familiar?

It might be because it was the foundation for Aleister Crowley’s doctrine of Thelema which sits at the heart of modern satanism, and it is at the heart of early 18th century British Imperial occultist Bernard Mandeville who taught in his Fable of the Bees (still taught in universities across the world) that private vice was the cause of public virtue).

In this worldview, everything that destroys law (or organized nation states) becomes a ‘good’ to be desired by the Tyler Durdens/Ted Kaczynskis out there getting hard-ons for the destruction of industrial civilization.

This utopian anarcho ideal of destruction of all organized top-down systems ignores the fact that there are no actual cases anywhere in history where mass anarchist movements overthrew a social order and then went onto create something better out of the ashes of destruction. No kumbaya utopian communes ever emerged out of the ashes of civilisational breakdown. No democratic communalist Gardens of Eden emerged out of Color Revolutions.

None. Zero. Zilch.

I can hear someone say “But the French Revolution did this! Did not the French Revolution encapsulate the anarchist ideal of overthrowing an unjust order of monarchical, religious power and create something better?”

The Failure of Anarcho-Revolution

While the French have certainly embraced the French Revolution as a great national myth featuring a holiday called ‘Bastille Day’ (in celebration for the storming of the Bastille in 1789) and La Marseillaise as the national anthem, the evidence points to the dismal fact that the French revolution was more of a failure than many would like to admit.

Not only did 40,000 people get decapitated in secret trials for four years of a civil war that killed millions, total anarchy resulted in supply chains collapsing, and the monetary system melting down. This state of general chaos didn’t create utopian communes, or democratic idealic people power, but rather a vast power vacuum filled by a Napoleon Bonaparte who wasted no time declaring himself World Emperor and launched nearly two decades of global wars.

Was that a success worth cherishing?

What about the anarchist Paris Commune of 1871?

The anarchist mobs successfully took control of Paris for two months and like their 1792 Jacobin predecessors, abolished most Christian churches, schools, and encouraged ‘self-policing’. After two months in power, the mob had no means of production, crime was rampant, and social fabric collapsed to the point that the national guard took back control under Napoleon III. At this point, a more draconian police state was created as Napoleon III put France back into a pro-war trajectory.

On the attacks against us

While recent slanders work hard to portray Cynthia and myself as crypto-fascist-controlled-opposition who sold our souls for technocracy, the following facts are always ignored:

For one, we have spent years mapping out the deep state structures penetrating all countries… Russia and China included.

Both Cynthia and I simply prove that this ancient supranational feudal evil which orchestrated the collapse is not Chinese.

It is rather, run by the City of London, institutions of the old European nobility, occult societies that once managed the Roman Empire and have set up Project Stargate in the USA as the hub of global 21st century new feudal empire with penetrations INTO Russia, China and other nations.

To repeat: This agency of transhumanist Orwellian feudalism does NOT EMANATE OUT OF China or Russia, but rather has penetrated INTO Russia and China... just as it has penetrated INTO the western states who once had leadership and a cultural vitality capable of resisting it.

Second: Throughout our public writings, and presentations, both Cynthia and I also demonstrated that there exist Chinese and Russian patriots in positions of high influence who are unwilling to sacrifice their ancient cultures on an altar of depopulation, and who have been battling those supranational transhuman Stargate swamp creatures, while we in the west have largely succumbed to it.

This is why George Soros was kicked out of China in 1989, and why former WEF-trustee Jack Ma was taken down and Alibaba placed under government control when Ma called for an overthrow of China’s national banking system in 2020.

It is why over five million Chinese officials and party members have been punished since Xi began purging the swamp in 2013, and is why China has faced vast asymmetric warfare with its supply chains targetted, its New Silk Road destablized on every continent in favor of BlackRock, its banking system destabilized by Goldman Sachs and London attacks (see Cynthia’s part 2 in her new series.)

And let’s not forget the US military encirclement of China which continued through Obama, Trump, Biden and Trump.

Third: Neither Cynthia nor I have ever stated that an evil Orwellian perversion of ‘multipolarity’ is not possible or desired by the oligarchy which they have called a one world government or a League of Nations. Ironically, many anarchists who are fond of Bertrand Russell, father of 20th century positivism, ignore the fact that though he wrote the book Proposed Roads to Freedom: Socialism, Anarchism, and Syndicalism and speaks well of anarchism, he ultimately concludes that the best of socialism, anarchism and syndicalism are all meant to ultimately lead its followers to adopt a League of Nations system, aka One World Government…

We are simply saying that a positive lawful version of multipolarity which is not Orwellian exists and is currently being defended by forces using political power in battle within Eurasia as a whole and most specifically China.

What We Do: Studies in Context and Nuance

Cynthia and I have written books about this agenda both in history and our present moment. Throughout our research we have been explaining that this evil Orwellian perversion is not the only expression of multipolarity that has ever existed. This is not to be confused with the idea of corporate globalism or a one world government.

This is what I did in my first book series ‘The Untold History of Canada’ (written between 2012-2015).

The Clash of the Two Canadas

In that four volume series, I address the questions:

What does it mean to be Canadian? Are Canadians more ‘British’ or ‘American’ or something else? How did Canada become an advanced industrial society with high living standards when we are part of the British monarchical system of global influence which is typically opposed to permitting large scale projects or scientific progress in its satraps. Throughout that study, I discovered that there is no singular ‘Canadian’ identity, but rather two opposing traditions, where one was led by genuine nation builders inspired by the best of the U.S. republic in the form of Isaac Buchanan, Wilfrid Laurier, C.D. Howe, Premier WAC Bennett, and Premier Daniel Johnson Sr… while the other ‘Canada’ was a City of London synthetic construct designed to undermine any genuine national identity.

I continued this study in my four volume series Clash of the Two Americas published between 2018-2022.

The Clash of the Two Americas

In this series I asked: ‘What does it mean to be an American’? Why have so many American leaders died while in office and what were they doing?

As outlined in that series, I demonstrated that, much like Canada, there are two opposing paradigms clashing over what tradition will represent the USA domestically and for the world… with one tradition serving as the basis of a Pax Americana, organized by the financial centers of Wall Street, and secret societies like the Scottish Rite and Skull and Bone agencies.

This evil tradition is counter-posed to the healthier paradigm which made the US revolution possible in the first place, and represents a creativity-driven ideal enshrined in the founding documents and represented by the greatest American statesmen who were willing to risk their lives for their sense of conscience.

Both use centralized power to do things, except one uses this power for evil and the other uses it for good.

The Clash of the Two Sciences

This is the same phenomenon that I showcase in Science Unshackled where I extend this study to the question of revolutionary scientific discoveries.

While a dominant narrative of science history shapes public thinking today, is it true or infused with lies? Were Sir Isaac Newton, Rene Descartes, Charles Darwin and Niels Bohr (godfather of modern Quantum Mechanics) truly the great scientists we’ve been told, or have we been lied to? Throughout this book, I advance the case that not one, but rather TWO opposing traditions, each laying claim to the title ‘western science’ has existed since the times of Plato, Aristotle, and Aristarchus to the present age… yet while one of them has an unbroken lineage of actually generating discoveries of universal principles, the other is a mere doppleganger that can, at best, steal, and mimic, but not actually make true discoveries.

The same can be said of the clash of the two multipolarities.

In fact, through a study of the science of universal history (rooted in a study of the battle over ideas of principle and their application), it can be observed that an idea of Natural Law and an international order founded upon the love of Justice and Wisdom has always existed. Never perfectly of course, but has always been there as a subtle, driving force of positive change.

In Plato’s works this challenge was defined by ‘The One and the Many’- that is to say, how can a one humanity exist while cherishing the differences of individuals, and diverse cultures and religions which make up that oneness of the human family?

Must all differences be smothered into some homogenous “wholeness”… must the world be depopulated for peace to be imposed from a Hegemon?

Must the population be kept degenerate in a cave believing in shadow myths in order to be herded and managed for ‘the greater good’?

Or can our personal freedom and individuality be cherished while also honoring the beautiful differences in cultures and religions without going to war? Can systems and cultural norms be defended which enhance the well-being of the collective while also protecting the diversity of the parts?

This concept was termed “heavenly kingdom” in some circles of the west, and Tianxia (Confucianism’s Mandate of Heaven) in Asia. It was also termed Augustine’s City of God where all humanity attains true freedom to mature our hearts and minds/free will and sense of duty together. This set of meta-ideas animated grand strategy since the days of Solon, Confucius, Aeschylus, Plato, Alexander the Great, Cicero and Augustine to the present age.

If you did not know about this arc of history, don’t feel bad.

An immense amount of effort has been exerted to wipe the evidence of this battle of paradigms out of existence. It isn’t permitted in our academic system or media.

Under the influence of the High Priests of the Frankfurt School, there is no room for universal principles shaping any battle over ideas for good and evil. In this cynical worldview so prevalent among anarcho-commentators evangelizing their gospel of ‘do what thou whilst as the whole of the law’, hope is a sign of weakness, and the different shades of grey that shape reality actually lean heavily toward black.

So for anyone who has been eating up slanderers that Cynthia and I are “Multipolar maxxing” China shills, I could only encourage you to check out my recent episode of Breaking Free of Psyops on China’s Social Credit System: Fact or Fiction? where I lay out the British Cayman Islands and Dutch South African powers influencing the technocratic parasite inside of China as well as Xi Jinping’s provable battles to reign in this foreign agency:

And try out Cynthia’s essay on the Anglo-American origins of China’s social credit system which takes that thesis to another level demonstrating the role of London Opium Banks that have created the Fintech transhumanist social credit gestapo and set up their base in Silicon Valley and run Project Stargate.

For a dissection of the Deep State transhumanist structures inside of Russia which have been at war with the legitimate representatives of the Russian people and culture, check out volume 3 of my Clash of the Two Americas (chapter 29) or interviews with Vanessa Beeley and Badlands Media available on canadianpatriot.org

Lastly, I invite everyone to review the content on our growing Comprehensive China Dossier which addresses information pertaining to the present, and deep past which anarcho-cultists cannot look at because reality doesn’t fit with their utopian religious precepts.

RTF Invitation: Clarifying the Hofjuden Elite- The Rothschilds as a Dynasty of Golem featuring Mike King

Matthew Ehret — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 15:02:10 GMT

Everyone knows the name of ‘The Rothschilds” as an extremely high level banking dynasty which has played a very bad role in recent world history.

But do you think that the Rothschilds are running the world?

Do you believe that this clan which rose from coin dealers to financiers for the wealthiest families in the world in the 18th century usurped the Monarchies of Europe?

Do you think there is no power above this dynasty which you should know about?

Or do you suspect that a more powerful caste representing a much older tradition has been using this dynasty like weapons are used in warfare?

In this upcoming Sunday lecture, I will be hosting the fantastic researcher Mike King who will shed light on the true nature of the Rothschilds as a leading Hofjuden banking clan which not only don’t actually “own” the Bank of England contrary to popular opinion and don’t actually shape their own destiny.

Some of the content will be drawn from a chapter of our new special report Black Sun Rising: Esoteric Roots of Fascism Past and Present which was authored by Mike King and is available here.

Also, I recommend following Mike on his Youtube channel here and Twitter here.

Plato vs Aristotle: The Divide That Still Shapes How We Think

Matthew Ehret — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 11:38:16 GMT

An unfortunate 2-fold lie has captured the minds of many unfortunate dupes for over two thousand years: 1) That it is somehow possible to integrate Plato and Aristotle into one unifying framework and 2) That Aristotle and Plato do indeed represent incompatible worldviews… except that Aristotle is an ‘improvement’ to the nonsensical fantasies of Plato.

As you will come to see in the course of this introductory series of short videos (Featuring a very fun chat with my friend Marshall Madow, host of Notions of Progress Podcast), this clash of paradigms, and the superiority of Plato is made transparent for all functional minds to follow.

Part 1| Plato vs. Aristotle - The Flame, the Vessel

KEY TOPICS COVERED in part 1

• What “progress” means when stripped of relativism — Ehret’s case for an objective baseline in the universal biophysical requirements of human life

• Why Ehret locates the origin of the West’s most productive intellectual impulses not in the Enlightenment but in the Platonic-Pythagorean tradition

• Plato’s Academy: its geometry requirement, its Pythagorean foundations through Archytas of Tarentum, and its founding pedagogical premise

• Constructive geometry as epistemological method — why the Academy required students to discover rather than assume

• The Meno dialogue: how Socrates leads an uneducated slave boy to geometric truth — and what this demonstrates about virtue, knowledge, and the limits of Sophist teaching

• The first Plato–Aristotle contrast: a noun-driven versus a verb-driven universe

Part 2: The Allegory of the Cave

KEY TOPICS COVERED IN PART 2

• The Meno and whether virtue can be taught — and why Plato’s answer challenges the Sophist model

• Who the Sophists were, what they sold, and why their influence on Athenian democracy troubled Plato

• The Allegory of the Cave explained — shadows, puppet masters, and the degrees of knowledge

• Two groups who both misread the Cave: critics who call Plato a proto-fascist and Neoplatonists who use him as a blueprint for elite control

• The part both groups omit: the philosopher’s obligation to return to the cave out of love for those still inside

• Free will, the soul, and Plato’s argument in the Gorgias that no one wills evil knowingly

• Leo Strauss, the noble lie, and the Straussian lineage from the University of Chicago to Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, and Paul Wolfowitz

• Peter Thiel’s essay ‘The Straussian Moment’ and how it situates a secret-doctrine tradition running from Plato through Locke, Hobbes, and Bacon

• Gnostic Neoplatonism versus authentic Platonism — and what Augustine’s battle against the Gnostics reveals about the deeper conflict

Part 3: Plato vs. Aristotle: The Divide That Still Shapes How We Think

KEY TOPICS COVERED IN PART 3

• Aristotle’s relationship to Plato and the nature of his departure from the Academy

• The Plato–Aristotle divide as a civilizational operating system — Ehret’s central thesis

• Open versus closed systems: what the distinction means for how cultures generate knowledge

• Entropy and anti-entropy as frames for evaluating whether a civilization is genuinely progressing or in decline

• Ehret’s account of what changes when inquiry becomes classification — and what is lost in that shift

• The epistemological stakes: whether creative discovery is possible within a closed-system framework

• The concluding movement of the Ehret arc and the questions it opens for the episodes ahead

The Dark Side of Nikola Tesla - Part 2: Bulwer's Dream of the Coming Race

Matthew Ehret — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:40:35 GMT

Tesla once wrote that he hoped to live long enough to see "Bulwer's dream realized." As it turns out, Tesla was referencing a very powerful leader of the 19th century occult revival who oversaw the renewal of the British Empire.

The dream referenced by Tesla belongs to Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a 19th century novelist whose fictional tale of a hidden super race wielding a mysterious energy called Vril who went on to directly shape Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy, Aleister Crowley's magical orders, the Nazi Thule Society, and H.G. Wells' Martian invasion thesis.

In this episode of Breaking Free of Psyops, I trace Tesla's infamous tele-automaton scam back to this same lineage of machine worship, followed by a look at Bulwer-Lytton's own bloodline straight to his son Robert Lytton, the British Viceroy of India whose policies are tied to one of history's deadliest famines. Along the way: Blavatsky's surprisingly candid praise of Lucifer, the real story behind the founding of the India Congress Party, and why Isaac Newton might not have discovered quite as much as advertised.

Citizen Vigilante: A Recipe Book for Civil War

Matthew Ehret — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 11:16:04 GMT

In a world drowning in manufactured outrage, here comes another psy-op to further the divide and conquer agenda of the Powers That Ought Not Be.

In this episode of Beyond the Pale, I joined host RB Ham and and Don Jeffries, bestselling author of Hidden History and Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics, a sharp researcher who has spent decades dismantling official narratives.

Together we deliver a hard-hitting breakdown of the film Citizen Vigilante — and the dangerous psychological operation it represents. We expose how frustration with corrupt government policies is being deliberately weaponized to push people toward violent action.

This isn’t organic rebellion — it’s a scripted narrative designed to lure citizens into the exact behavior that justifies the next level of crackdown: expanded surveillance, militarized policing, and the full rollout of a domestic police state.

Left versus Right. Controlled opposition. The classic paradigm trap that keeps us fighting each other while the real architects tighten the noose. This episode pulls back the curtain on how these operations work, who benefits, and why falling for the emotional bait is exactly what they’re counting on.

The system doesn’t fear a chaotic backlash byban enraged population; they have a plan for that — it fears a calm, united, and discerning one. Click below to watch the full show:

President William McKinley's Fight to Save the USA, the Knights of the Golden Circle and the Truth of his Assassination

Matthew Ehret — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 10:26:33 GMT

What was President William McKinley doing when he was assassinated in 1901?

Which British imperial agents in America did he do battle with and how was Teddy Roosevelt positioned to undo his work while turning the USA into a full blown empire, reviving the KKK, expanding eugenics, and setting the stage for the Federal Reserve?

How did McKinley become the leading expert on Protective Tariffs in America and how did he differentiate ‘revenue tariffs’ from legitimate ‘protective tariffs’?

Donald Trump has spoken highly of President McKinley… but he has also spoken highly of Teddy Roosevelt, but McKinley and Teddy represented two diametrically opposing paradigms, so which one is actually inspiring Trump’s presidency?

Find out the answer to these questions and more in this episode of Crypto Rich

Canadian Patriot Substack is Back Online!

Matthew Ehret — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:10:28 GMT

In March 2024 I launched the Canadian Patriot Review Substack to provide a platform for groundbreaking historical research, political analysis and to showcase talented contributors to the Canadian Patriot Review magazine to have their voices amplified to a wider audience.

Sadly, in April 2025, the Substack and Stripe accounts affiliated with the Canadian Patriot Review were frozen and I was no longer able to access the account.

Finally, after months of effort, the problem has been resolved and this Substack is going to be up and running once more.

So I invite everyone to subscribe now in order to get access to podcasts, invitations for live events, and PDFs of all Canadian Patriot Review publications.

Thanks for your support and collaboration on this journey.

The Dark Truth of Nikola Tesla - Part 1: A Case of Black Magick

Matthew Ehret — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 10:12:10 GMT

Do you think Nikola Tesla was a persecuted genius who just wanted to give the world free energy?

In Part 1 of this series on Breaking Free of Psyops, I trace Tesla's closest friendship to George Sylvester Viereck, Hitler's official Washington spokesman and Aleister Crowley disciple, who also happened to be the organizer of the 1939 Madison Square Garden Nazi rally.

Along the way you will discover Tesla's enthusiastic support for mandatory eugenics, his belief that humans are soulless automatons with no free will, his claim to have received radio signals from Martians, and his tele-automaton demos that turned out to be a guy behind a curtain with a remote control.

The Wardenclyffe Tower? Blown up by US Naval Intelligence for transmitting secrets to Germany. Not the incredible keys to free zero point energy as 100 years of myth-makers would have you believe. The beloved persecuted visionary story starts looking considerably less heroic from here.

Lone Shooter, Israeli hit teams or Setians: Holes in the Story of Charlie Kirk's Murder

Matthew Ehret — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:39:14 GMT

Many eyeballs have been glued to the Tyler Robinson trial now going into day five.

Erika Kirk attended the hearing on Monday, and even Donald Trump Jr. has decided to cover the event for Fox News. Millions of citizens are waiting with bated breath to discover what new evidence can finally emerge settling once and for all what happened to Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025 in Utah.

As a disclaimer, I have not conducted an extensive exploration into this case, but I feel that there are a few very disturbing facts that I would like to bring to the attention of subscribers.

Holes in the lone gunman story

While the dominant narrative of a “lone gunman” is full of holes and should be discarded by anyone with half a brain, the question remains: Is the secondary alternative model of an Israeli-run plot more truthful?

In the same way that I am very wary about the popular story of Israel’s murder of John F Kennedy which has become all the rage over the recent few years, I find the “Israel did it” explanation for Charlie to also be overly simplistic.

Before jumping on board the “Israel did it” bandwagon, let’s assess a few facts:

As of this moment, the accused lone gunman, Tyler Robinson hasn't confessed to anything. We only have his roommate/loverboy who has claimed that Tyler confessed but there is no actual evidence beyond that point. Up until now, it seems he hasn't entered a plea in court yet.

Now some anomalies:

1) Crisis actors were demonstrably interviewed hours after the crime mis-identifying where Charlie was shot although apparently standing in front row.

2) The SUV which supposedly raced Charlie to hospital quietly auctioned off. Same model used by the FBI for all field work.

3) The entire set at Utah Valley University was dismantled only two days after murder and before any serious forensics was carried out on the stage.

4) The main sheriff in charge of the investigation retired 48 hours after the shooting

5) Images of trap door on site of his murder.

6) US army veteran arrested with fake gun at the scene of his murder who had all charges dropped within days.

7) Ballistics experts have made a solid case that the grade of ammunition and model of hunting riffle would have done way more damage than what we are being told (certainly the story of Charlie's spine being turned to steel by god is a weak argument).

8) Explanations of squib device used to shoot out fake blood have been presented. I'm sure people have seen the many videos on this

9) The total lack of blood on the 5 individuals filmed hauling Charlie into the FBI mobile. IF an artery were hit as is proclaimed, then the blood would be gushing all over the place.

10) It is absurd to assume that the killer would have assembled, then disassembled and then re-assembled the hunting riffle as is officially proclaimed.

Then for the more speculative but still relevant anomalies:

1) The photo taken of Tyler Robinson in his bedroom featuring a screen opened to a small island off the coast of New Zealand which happens to host the Danish Valhalla House resort.

• Tyler Robinson photo on Desktop — Goat Island-• Just down the road from Goat Island — Valhalla Danish House

2) Kash Patel's weird homily the day of Charlie's death saying "I'll see you in Valhalla brother".

3) Satanists have been influencing Turning Point USA from the beginning.

Stargate Sethians Become Patriots

Paul E. Vallely is not only an advisor of Turning Point USA and UK, but was co-author with Col. Michael Aquino of the influential study ‘From Psyop to Mindwar’ which provided a blueprint in reforming the training of US Special Forces. This occured under the direction of Major General Albert Stubblebine, who headed US Army Intelligence under Ronald Reagan and oversaw the ‘revolution in military affairs’ demanded by Zbigniew Brzezinsky.

Colonel Aquino and Vallely had worked with each other in Vietnam overseeing Operation Phoenix as a mass genocide program murdering over 40,000 Vietnamese civilians, after which point Aquino established the Temple of Set while still maintaining his top security clearance standing in the military.

The Strange Case of Nikki Minaj

Many were surprised to see Nikki Minaj emerge as a voice of Turning Point USA alongside her friend Erika Kirk… certainly the brand promoted by Minaj has involved hyper-graphic sexualization and degeneracy, but perhaps someone can still “play the game” while maintaining Christian ethics in their heart?

Perhaps that is true, but does “playing the game” have to involve outright Satanic rituals in front of millions of fans as Nikki Minaj carried out in her 2012 Grammy performance of Roman Holiday?

I was surprised to discover that the song title ‘Roman Holiday’ was a reference to her alter-ego ‘Roman Zolansky’ whom she described in multiple interviews as having been ‘born out of rage’ as a demonic entity. This name is undoubtedly connected to the pedophile director ‘Roman Polansky’ of Ninth Gate, and Rosemary’s Baby fame.

Her choice to don a literally ‘Whore of Babylon’ outfit accompanied by a mock Pope at this event was also noteworthy- especially considering the theme of Rosemary’s Baby.

Now it would be totally understandable to ask: “Why would Satanists want to create a Christian nationalist movement with Turning Point USA?”

In my humble assessment, fundamental goal of this multigenerational endeavor appears to involve some sort of alchemical transformation of the the predominantly conservative base of America from its former identity as a predominantly pro-Zionist Christian orientation into some sort of an Elon Dark MAGA/anti-Israel new-Templar identity which we can now see quickly emerging through such voices of the ‘new mainstream’.

The Alchemical Turning of the American Mind

As a leading voice of this new Catholic Templar, anti-Israel Dark MAGA rebranding, it is uncertain whether Candace Owens has any clue what, exactly is running her husband’s Turning Point UK (or Lord Farmer’s affiliation with Turning Point UK co-founder John Mappin. Mappin is, after all, not only a follower of ‘mr Babalon working’ L. Ron Hubbard, but also the owner of Castle Camelot, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, who was among the earliest promoters of Q Anon, and even awarded Donald Trump with an “honorary knighthood” and a replica of the sword excalibur at his Arthurian castle in 2016.

These strange associations are of course, patterns and not themselves proofs of any particular wrongdoing… but very strange patterns none the less.

As laid out in my newest film ‘Black Sun Rising’, Colonel Michael Aquino's infamous ritual at Himmler's Templar HQ Wewelsburg Castle in 1974 launched both his Temple of Seth which he established as a spinoff of Anton Levay’s Church of Satan in 1975, and the strategy of chaos that Sethianism would entail.

In Aquino’s view, this would take place first within the consolidation of a new cult within US military intelligence circles, and then expand across all sectors economic, cultural and political.

Of course, Erika Kirk’s own biography is questionable. From her own mother’s role as a top executive catering to the US Department of Defense, to her early years in the “Tesseract” (Looking Glass) school- directly connected to Fort Huachuca, the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence is also concerning. Erika’s later involvement running a Romanian NGO (Romanian Angels) tied to human trafficking, to claims of her parents’ (Lori and Kent Frantzve) possible involvement with Michael Aquino in the 1980s… alot of questions need to be answered.

Whether or not Charlie Kirk was a witting participant of this piece of theater… remains to be seen. Was he actually martyred on September 10th or is he sitting in a forrest spa of ‘Valhalla’?

I will leave those questions for readers to hypothesize. One thing is certain: the official story of a lone shooter named ‘Tyler Robinson’ doesn’t hold up under any scrutiny, and the “alternative” idea that Israel is to blame carries alot of baggage with it.

All that I know is when Satanists suggest you take a walk in the forrest, you ignore them.

As an addendum, I would say IF some form of confession is delivered from Tyler Robinson at some point in the coming days ahead, then that still wouldn't mean he did it, since "confessions" were extracted from Sirhan Sirhan, and James Earl Ray despite the fact that neither one killed either Robert F. Kennedy nor Martin Luther King Jr.[1]

Footnote

[1] Recently declassified FBI files indicate that Sirhan Sirhan was attending Rosicrucian and AMORC meetings in the months leading up to the RFK assassination. To this very day, he has maintained that he has no memory of the event.
James Earl Ray also confessed under duress and immediately revoked his confession within hours but that didn’t stop the narrative controllers from spinning the yarn of a lone racist gunman killing MLK. However, unbenownst to many today, a Tennessee State jury trial sided with James Earl Ray and the King family in 1999 concluding that King's death was the result of a government/FBI/Mafia conspiracy.

How Occultists and Bankers Manufactured WW2 Germany (Another fun episode of The Duran)

Matthew Ehret — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 10:24:10 GMT

This week, I had a very interesting conversation with Alexander Mercouris on The Duran tackling certain forbidden topics such as the secret occult integration with British (and US) intelligence leading into WW1 and 2, how Crowley’s networks penetrated the courts of Europe, Theosophy, how English and German New Templars the stage for the zionist movement, and even generated the hoax known as the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

Due to the sad fact that my microphone glitched out, I have added a transcript of the show in this post below the Youtube video.

How Occultists and Bankers Manufactured WW2 Germany (A Transcript)

Alex Christoforou

All right, Alexander, we are here with Matthew Ehret joining us on the Duran. Once again, Matt, how are you doing, and where can people follow your work?

Matt

Oh, it’s always a pleasure, and people can follow my work on CanadianPatriot.org or RisingTideFoundation.net.

Alex C

I will have those links in the description box down below, as well as a pinned comment. So Alexander, Matt, we got some interesting topics to get to, so I’ll pass it off to you gentlemen. So Matt has been very, very active and very busy, and he’s been doing work on documentaries and articles. Perhaps we can start by asking you to tell us a little bit about those, Matt.

Matt

Most certainly, and my wife, Cynthia Chung and I recently unleashed a new documentary called Black Sun Rising, just two, three weeks ago, and we accompanied that with a 200 page, large-format special report to just accompany the documentary, which deals with the disturbing rehabilitation of the figure of Adolf Hitler and Nazis more generally amongst a growing array of the conspiracy-minded community that we tend to interface with, who tend to think a little bit more circumspect about the official narratives of that attempt to explain big things in history.

Being circumspect in times of lies is of course useful and should be done. We should look behind the surface appearance of things, for hidden agendas behind assassinations, revolutions, and wars.

However, as my grandmother once said, if you allow your mind to open too much, your brains could fall out. And being circumspect should be balanced out with extreme intellectual rigor since there is alot of misinformation in this alternative media narrative.

And sometimes I think that there’s a space for Trojan horses as people begin to doubt official narratives.

They throw the baby out with the bathwater increasingly, whether it’s through Nick Fuentes and his provocateur schtick, or through the popularity of the pro-Hitler film series Europa: The Last Battle… but the narratives that we are seeing more and more over the past few years consistently portray Hitler as the hero of World War II. Adolf Hitler is often portrayed as a good guy, and that the real bad guy was Stalin and the Commie Soviets.

And we’ve seen this again and again, but it’s becoming more and more popular.

Increasingly also Templarism as well, this idea of a new crusader mission to bring back the warrior ethic of the lost masculinity, which woke doctrines have washed away in our estrogenized society.

And now, we are told that we need to bring back men’s masculinity for the new nationalism - whether it’s in Europe or whether it’s in the United States. And all of this leaks of the type of propaganda and hypnotic inductions imposed onto the German people in the years leading up to Hitler’s acquisition of power.

And so we decided to make this documentary to really demonstrate what was Nazism really all about? What allowed this to rise? What allowed the culture to become so radicalized, both on the left and on the right?

What happened to create this schism of dialectics out of which the synthesis of Nazism could be introduced, funded by those same Wall Street and London financiers and backers that continue to exert great influence over the world after World War II was finished and still to this very day.

Alexander Mercouris

So a few things here. I mean, I think you’re absolutely correct in saying that there’s been a great flowering of what some people call revisionist history, which can take many forms about the 1930s and 1940s.

Some of it is valid historical research and people looking and asking themselves about a lot of the establishment narratives that have existed about the Second World War. A comprehensive, thorough history of the Second World War, in my opinion, has never been written because so much of the archives relating to it have either been lost or destroyed, purposefully destroyed, or remain closed. And certainly in Britain, a lot of the archives remain closed. And if we’re talking about Germany, the Germans systematically destroyed their archives, as is well known amongst scholars in the last months of the war.

So a huge amount of material. I mean, Hitler’s private archive, he destroyed himself, for example. The last few weeks he went and took out all his papers from his safe and he burnt them. So there’s an awful lot we don’t know.

So looking, trying to understand what happened, trying to understand the interconnections of what took place, that is valid history and a lot of it is real. Other parts of it are history that clearly are based on some people’s agendas. And I have to say that a lot of what this so-called revisionist history is all about is exactly what you said, trying to turn the story of the Second World War completely upon its head. The generation that lived through and fought through the Second World War is now either very old or dying.

So they’re not living witnesses in the way that they used to be. And at a time when we have a crisis with Russia, I think that there are particular attractions, as I said, to turning the whole balance around and to trying to find explanations to this war which are not there. And as you rightly say, some of it is very attractive. because the way you hook it in is by appealing to people who have critiques and criticisms of certain established realities, the power of finance in the world today, and those sorts of things.

You can argue And there are some arguments that can validly be made that some of the things that happened in Germany in the 30s and 40s were antagonistic to that. And people use that fact, as I said, to reshape the whole discussion and the whole understanding of what happened. So I think we can talk about that. But actually even more interesting, in my opinion, is what you said at the other point, which is that It’s useful to go back still further and to look at the shaping of thought in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Because this is the time when, intellectually speaking, much of the modern world, what we’ve come to think of as the modern world, was created. The period, basically, mostly between about 1870 or so, maybe even 1850, and extending all the way up to 1950. But especially the decades on either side of the start of the 20th century. And absolutely, I mean, the movement that you’ve mentioned, Nazi movement, is entirely a product of that time, and it draws on lots of ideas that were floating around Europe in exactly that period.

In Vienna, in Paris, in London. perhaps actually, surprisingly, a little less in Berlin, but in Berlin too, in all of these places, and of course in New York, where a lot of that was going on. So, shall we initially focus on that? Do you want to tell us a bit about these intellectual roots?

Not just of Nazism, but of the Communism?

Matt Ehret: The Battle over the German Identity

I love that, because you’ve got a context by going that far back. Context is everything.

I think what you’ve zeroed in on is key— the end of the 19th century and the battle over the two identities which were clashing over what Germany would be in the new 20th century… how would the German identity define itself? Around which traditions and deep national myths?

You had people like Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who was a great admirer of Abraham Lincoln and spoke very sorrowfully of of the death of Lincoln, what that meant geostrategically for the world. And he was a part of a broader international discussion that was underway amongst statesmen in the 1864-1865 period over breaking free of the system of imperial geopolitics, and forever wars that had done so much damage to the world.

Otto von Bismarck

Obviously, the Crimean War was an orchestration largely of certain British and French imperialists to suck in and weaken Russia in their own wasting war leading up to the US Civil War which targetted the USA.

But at the same time, Britain had exposed its hand in India, really carrying out vast genocidal atrocities, trying to put down the 1858 uprising, which was murderously hellish.

Then the opium war was still raging and people were beginning to really wake up to the disgusting agendas behind the British global strategy- both with the opium wars in China and also British agents fueling China’s own civil war dubbed ‘the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebellion’, which was all being fueled by proto-color revolutionary kinds of manipulations using the cover of missionary groups, Jesuitical groups inside of Southern China, organizing this civil war.

And at the same time, also the awareness of England’s support for the Confederacy was quite well known. And we all know the story of Russia coming in and saving the day when the Americans were at their weakest in 1863. But what what is less known, and Bismarck was privy to these discussions, was Lincoln’s endorsement of the Bering Strait telegraph lines which he endorsed with a congressional resolution in December 1864 to be built with Russia after the war.

There was a big discussion around exporting this greenback system that Lincoln had revived in the middle of the Civil War, based upon building big projects for the future as the foundation upon which the monetary system would be based through the Bering Strait into Russia.

The German industrial faction, the followers of Friedrich List, were rallying heavily around Bismarck, who was working very hard to keep Germany from falling into traps. There were all sorts of setups in the 1870s to get Germany to fall into conflict with Russia and other neighboring powers. Sadi Carnot, the president of France who would soon be assassinated by an anarchist was also very closely aligned with this grouping around Bismarck, who were trying very hard to create a positive pro-industrial Russia, German, US, French alliance.

Then Bismarck was ousted [in 1890].

That eliminated a major figure behind the scenes who was a diplomatic genius working to always build back channel discussions and negotiations.

So with him gone, there wasn’t a lot of leadership available and traps that he would have avoided began to work, as Germany increasingly tripped over their shoelaces, as worse and worse decisions were made leading up to an absurd, and a completely unnecessary world war.

And those enemies of Bismarck’s industrial Christian paradigm, who worked very hard in opposition to Bismarck from within Germany, were often more of the Wagnerian mindset, and often reaked of the occult.

With Bismarck gone, his enemies increasingly became more successful in their effort to try to convince the German people that their true identity must be be shaped by the mystical folk spirit of the pure pagan ethos of the Viking/Nordic pre-Christian civilization… maybe we can tolerate a little Christian veneer on the surface to give it the appearance of cultivation and maybe religious obedience for the sake of behavioral control, but for these Wagnerian paganists, the key was to get back in touch with the ancient heritage.

This is what the German poet Heinrich Heine insightfully warned about in 1834. when he wrote:

“Christianity, and this is its greatest merit, has somewhat mitigated the brutal German love of war, but it could not destroy it. Should that subduing talisman, the cross, be shattered, the frenzied madness of the ancient warriors, that insane Berserk rage of which the Nordic bards have spoken and sung so often, will once more burst into flame. This talisman [the cross, Christianity] is fragile. And the day will come when it will collapse miserably. Then the ancient stony gods will rise from the forgotten debris and rub the dust of a thousand years from their eyes. And then Thor, with his giant hammer, will jump up and smash the Gothic cathedrals.
Do not smile at my advice, the advice of a dreamer who warns you against Kantians, Fichteans, and philosophers of nature. Do not smile at the visionary who anticipates the same revolution in the realm of the visible that has already taken place in the realm of the spirit. Thought precedes action, as lightning precedes thunder. German thunder is of true Teutonic character. It is not nimble, but rumbles ponderously. Yet it will come. And when you hear a crashing such as never before has been heard in the history of the world, then you will know that the German thunderbolt has fallen. At that uproar, the eagles of the air will drop dead. The lions in the remotest deserts of Africa will hide in their royal dens. A play will be performed in Germany which will make the French Revolution look like an innocent idyll.”

And that grouping, which seemed fringe at the time of Bismarck’s ouster, began to take more and more of an active influence through the destruction and demoralization of World War I.

It was such a wasting, absurd war that destroyed the morale of so many of the German people. And it followed with the breaking of their economy with the Versailles debt repayments and the brutalization of what the Germans had gone through under Versailles and the hyperinflation of Weimar resulted, and also the assassinations, right?

There was like 300 German leaders who were assassinated from 1919 to 1924.

The great Foreign Minister Walter Rathenau, the grandson or the son of Emil Rathenau, the great industrialist ally of Bismarck… Walter Rathenau was a leading industrialist who was working with the Russians to create the Rapallo Accords to break free of the Versailles debt treaty repayments in 1922 which would have resulted in Germany avoiding the hyperinflation and the destruction by creating a special positive friendship or relationship with Russia. He was assassinated.

Foreign Minister Walter Rathenau

And that whole organization of assassinations, the Organization Consul, after it was illegalized, it just changed its name and became the paramilitary branch of the SS, or what became the SS a little bit later on. And the Germans were being driven crazy.

And Kamala Harris even said in one of her speeches in 2024, something that struck me, this blabbering idiot, she actually said things that were useful but not for the reasons she believed, and this stood out. During a speech she described how great Berlin was in 1924, 25, 26, because she said, look, they were the most progressive nation in the world. They had drag shows in every second bar. It was wonderful.

And then you couldn’t have expected that just in a few years, the Nazis were going to take over. Of course, Kamala was inferring that MAGA was going to be the new Hitler.

But what she was was true! Germany, the Germans, so many of them did go crazy. And many of them were led to believe that it was the belief in right and wrong and moral values that caused World War I to happen. And that if they could just let go of those illusions of the nation-state, of nationalism, of god, of male and female as concepts, then we could just live and let live, and everyone could just be the hedonistic, pure orgiastic society we were meant to be.

And sure enough, there were very liberal drag shows, hedonism and other things in Germany in the 20s, and it did create a disgust, a repulsion amongst many of the more conservative-minded of the population who were able to then get nudged into more radicalization as a counter-response to this disgusting extreme left.

And whenever you get extremes, they tend to meet in some convenient form of conflict, which is exactly the type of thing that I think was the desired outcome by some of the manipulators above the scenes pushing to create the more extreme expression of Germany with the Nazis.

Alexander Mercouris: Bismarck’s Importance to Peace

Well, let’s start with Bismarck because Bismarck is somebody I’ve studied extensively, by the way, and I know quite a lot about him. So, Bismarck, a lot of people have a very false idea about Bismarck. They imagine him as a militaristic leader. He did, in fact, fight and win within a very short period between 1864 and 1873 wars.

But as he always made clear, and he says this clearly in his memoir, the point about those wars was to resolve the problem of Germany, which is very divided and very unstable. He wanted to, essentially, create a Germany that was stable and economically secure and admittedly at the heart of Europe. Now, the point about Bismarck and the secret of his success is he was both an extremely intelligent man and very much of a realist. He did not like ideas that put at risk the Germany that he created.

And his whole policy after 1870, for far the longest period of time that he was chancellor of Germany, was to preserve peace in Europe. For him, The objective was not dominance in Europe, not control in Europe, it was peace in Europe. And his objectives for Germany were very much linked to the preservation of peace, And he gave Germany a constitution which gave the German people universal male suffrage. And he was the first leader in Europe, in fact, to create a social security system, a very sophisticated social security system, and to promote universal secondary education, very much, by the way, on the American model.

He was very influenced by what was happening in the United States at that time. And, of course, he also had a policy for industrialization. And that was where the ideas of Liszt and all of that come into play. So that was Bismarck.

Now what Bismarck opposed, and was very, very hostile to, were ideas that began to develop in Germany rather mysteriously in the late 19th century for what were called Weltpolitik, Germany assuming a global role as a great power. He was absolutely against that. He was also against policies that sought German dominance in Europe. He thought that was unachievable and would undermine peace.

And he also was, despite being, of course, an intense German patriot, he did not like ideas that sought any kind of German supremacy or anything of that kind, cultural, ethnic, whatever. So he was very, very strongly opposed to all of these things. In other words, he was, in the best sense, a very rational man. And one of the moments I remember of him is that when Germany launches, after he’s been overthrown, this massive program of naval construction, he goes to the shipyard at Kiel, he sees all these warships being built, he shakes his head, he says, you’ve all gone mad.

And that was Bismarck. He also, above all, sought good relations with the Russians. And he maintained, throughout the time that he was chancellor, extremely good relations with the Russians, because he understood that relations peace between Germany and Russia was the key to peace in Europe. So that is Bismarck, and that was the policy that he stood for in the late 19th century.

Now, there’s a lot more you can say about Bismarck. He had all sorts of faults, which I’m not going to explore here, but that was him. And by the way, he was very interested in the United States. He did admire Lincoln.

He admired American industrialization. And a lot of what he did you can see reflected in the fact that he had this sense of affinity for the United States. The big question is, how did we slip away from Bismarck’s Europe to the Europe that launched the First World War? And about that, There is an enormous academic literature and no clear resolution and no agreement as to how it came about.

But what all I think the historical scholarship agrees about is that there were certain things that were going on. Firstly, And one has to say this, there was worry in London about geopolitical developments. I mean, the fact that Britain seemed to be losing its position of global supremacy as countries like the United States, like Germany, like Russia, like France, but especially Germany, Russia, and the United States were on the rise. So there was that.

And there was already, incidentally, some feeling in some parts of the world that colonialism, the creation of colonial empires, was a bad idea. So that’s one thing that made the British very nervous. The other is a development of extremely strange, I mean, looking back, very, very strange, pseudo-religious mystical, you can call that kind of thing, movements in Europe at about this time. The importance of which I suspect has been understated but which are not easy to understand and whose origins nobody has been able to satisfactorily explain.

Now I know you’ve been touched a little bit about that, the last. Do you want to say a bit more about those?

Matt Ehret: The Occult Subversion of Templarism and Grail Mysteries

Yeah, most certainly.

There’s this weird cult revival that was happening at the end of the 19th century all over Europe.

Germany was no exception.

And there’s seemingly a strange co-development of something in the Middle East which we go through this in our documentary on the Black Sun Rising. To some extent, we have a chapter on this in that film regarding the co-development of King Edward VII (who was still Prince Edward Albert) who was setting up the Palestinian Exploration Fund in 1862 with Sir Charles Warren.

This Freemasonic agency was set up to explore and excavate the area of Solomon’s mines, and they were very much animated by the idea of Solomon’s Temple, the Ark of the Covenant, a lot of what became both biblical archaeology as a field field of study emerged out of this grouping.

Now another part of this agenda involved the profiling of different tribal groups living in the region of Palestine to set up the stage for what would also become the Zionist cause or the Zionist project.

All of this was occuring as the German Templar society was emerging both in Berlin and also in Palestine. Now this was one of the most enthusiastic Armageddonist sects that emerged in Germany in 1861. This cult began the colonization of Haifa in 1868.

They were always interfacing very closely with this network around Sir Charles Warren and the British Empire in Palestine, and all were obsessed with Solomon’s Temple.

So you had this weird thing going on, and by the turn of the 20th century, the German New Templars had upwards of 10 different, advanced colonies in Palestine. And part of their idea was the revival of the medieval Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. This was was their big ambition which involved this eschatological reset… this millennialist idea of invoking the End Times as outlined in the Book of Revelation.

They were obsessed with trying to interpret and accelerate that cataclysmic imagery that’s located within that prophetic book. I’m not saying I believe that that book is literal prophecy, but I think that many people do believe that and act accordingly, and sometimes these destructive fanatics wield a little bit too much political and economic capacities to make the unnatural become realized. So that’s what they were really all about.

This grouping became part of something that bubbled to the surface closely tied to something which followers of Theosophy were doing in Germany at that time.

There was a guy named Guido von List who had set up the German High Armenan order in 1903 or 1904 with his own sort of Germanic spinning on some of what the Russian Mystric Madame Helena Blavatsky and her Theosophists were pushing as far as the theosophical idea of a new synthetic world religion. This new religion of no religion would operate as a perennialist philosophy, taking elements of the different mystery traditions of every world philosophy and insert them into this hodgepodge stew for this new world unifying religion that would absorb everybody, as the idea was. But it was very anti-Christian.

Guido von List

The problem for these perennialist mystics was that the Germans of the early 19th century were still very Christian, so it wasn’t selling very well.

But Guido had a solution.

He said; “well, we need to appeal to the Christian nationalistic German psyche more effectively, which means we need to utilize more of the, some of the runes that were found in the German forests, and use some of these elements of pre-Christian germanic history infused with a Christian crusader language”… whereas Blavatsky was extremely anti-Christian in her writings, Guido von List modified it a bit. He said that his Germanized Theosophists will still believe in ascended masters, and they will still have oracles communicating with ascended beings to guide humanity to a new age.

They will still have all of that good stuff which Blavatsky promotes, but they just downplayed the Hinduism. They will still bring in the Aryan superiority complex, the Hyperborean theories of Thule, spiritual eugenics, and the Swastika since that also showed up in some nordic runes so, they kept that. He worked closely with Lans von Liebenfels, who was a former Cistercian monk and teacher of Hitler.

Actually, a young 10-year-old Hitler was a student at this abbey in Austria, which was a hub for New Templarism from the 1860s to the 1890s. And this is where young Hitler would have had his first experience of swastikas that are still to this day carved in the walls of the abbey which I bring up in the documentary.

In this particular abbey, Lanz von Liebenfels, who was a Cistercian monk, was teaching at this very school and after leaving the Cistercians, sets up a High Armanen Order branch of the New Templars in 1907. His secret society is an expansion of the existent Templar colonization projects in Haifa. And he starts a journal called Ostara, and it’s basically full of mysticism, runism, pagan Wagnerianism, anti-semitism, and pagan spiritual eugenics infused in a monthly subscription magazine.

And from 1910, Hitler was a young subscriber to von Liebenfels’ Ostara Journal.

So he was getting radicalized by these ideas after having been radicalized by Liebenfels in primary school years earlier. It was already kind of bubbling inside of him. This movement was still very fringe. But with WW1 and then the hellish humiliation ritual of the Germans after the war, the fringe became more and more mainstream.

Now I’d like to say a word about WW1 itself- it is very difficult to get any historian to have some competent explanation of why the war happened.

It does seem to have something to do with the Otto von Bismarck being ousted in 1890.

Now Alexander, I’d ask you a question on this. I had read a book some time ago, I forgot the title of it, that was going through the the gossipers, the courtiers around of Kaiser Wilhelm, which persuaded him that Bismarck wanted to steal his thunder and maybe usurp the throne, and made the Kaiser very paranoid to the point that he flushed Bismarck. Did you ever encounter that?

Alexander Mercouris: Bismarck’s ouster and Weltpolitik

Oh, absolutely.

And the so-called Camarilla that existed around the Kaiser undoubtedly existed, and he did play a role.

And there’s no doubt that the Kaiser himself was very resentful of the fact that even though he was supposed to be the leader of Germany, most Germans obviously didn’t think of him in that way, because there was this towering figure, Bismarck, who was attracting all the attention. So there was that element as well, which one should not overlook. But This is to some extent also linked to the development of many of these ideas that you’ve just been talking about.

These ideas of sort of strange movements, which somehow blend in with the sense that there should be a German Weltpolitik, that Germany should have its place in the sun, it should be a great power at least equal to or greater than the British Empire, and that it must rival Britain in that sort of way. Bismarck’s departure does accelerate hugely the trend and the force that’s gathered around this group of people. Whether it is enough by itself to explain the First World War is very difficult.

When I studied history this period long ago, the dominant theory about the origin of the First World War was that of a German historian called Fritz Fischer, which was that it all started in Germany, that it was a German desire for world power, which was shared by the Kaiser. That was what drove it, that the German government in 1914 made a particular and decisive decision to start war as part of this bid for world power. Since then, Fischer has never completely gone away.

I mean, I think he still has a lot of support and many people still think as he does. But I understand that there’s been a lot of pushback and people saying that it wasn’t just Germany. There were other players too. There was the French who wanted revenge for the fact that they’d been defeated in 1870.

There was the British. But again, as with the Second World War, the archives are very incomplete. We don’t have very much knowledge. The one government which paradoxically has opened up its archives fully for that period is the Russian.

This happened fairly recently. There’s been some studies about this, especially by a man called Dominic Levin- the conclusion is that the one government, the one government of a major power that in 1914 did not want war was actually the Russians. The Russians understood perfectly well that if there was a world war, they would be putting the entire stability of their social system and of their empire at risk and that they wanted to avoid it, but they felt that they’d been trapped into it and that they had no real way out from it.

So it’s an interesting book to read. And, by the way, its title is ‘Vers la flamme’, (Towards the Flame). And that references a musical composition by a composer called , who, coming back to the very strange ideas that were floating around at that time, was, of course, a theosophist, just saying.

Matt: The Occult Hand Behind WW1

There’s a quote that I just found. I was going to use it in a class I delivered earlier this week but it falls in very nicely where a Kaiser Wilhelm wrote despairingly in August of 1914. He says:

“England, Russia, and France have agreed among themselves to take the Austro-Serbian conflict for an excuse for waging a war of extermination against us. That is the real naked situation, slowly and cleverly set, going by Edward VII, and finally brought to a conclusion by George V. So the famous encirclement of Germany has finally become a fact, despite every effort of our politicians and diplomats to prevent it. The net has been suddenly thrown over our head, and England sneeringly reaps the most brilliant successes of her persistently persecuted a prosecuted, purely anti-German world policy against which we have proved ourselves helpless, while she twists the noose of our political and economic destruction out of our fidelity to Austria, as we squirm isolated in the net. A great achievement, which arouses the admiration even of him who is to be destroyed as its result. Edward VII is stronger after his death than am I, who am still alive.”

Kind of a pathetic character, this Wilhelm guy.

But I think it’s interesting that a lot of historians, they just overlook these different letters and their correspondences between Edward and Nicholas II saying, OK, clearly there’s a plan to try to get us to fight each other, but we will not fall for it. And no, we will not go along with this plan.

Sure enough, the forces turned out to be more influential than both of these individuals realized.

And I was just thinking about the overlap between intelligence, occultism, theosophy- this threefold intersection is always kind of present behind the scenes. And you see it also penetrating even the courts of Russia, where in my research, not only does it seem that people like Gerard Encausse (aka: Papus), who is a leading theosophist, member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Martinist… this occultist is sudden positioned to be the physician and advisor of Nicholas II (and a major influence behind the Czar’s wife who is fanatically obsessed with mediums, levitation, occultism etc).

Gérard Encausse, known as Papus (1865 – 1916), founder of the Martinist Order

And Encausse is positioned in this strategic position at a very sensitive time when Nicholas II is already psychologically becoming more and more unhinged and paranoid, probably for good reason. And Encausse is among his advisors who is persuading him to take more seriously the Protocols of Zion that were just introduced to him by one of the followers of Blavatsky. I am forgetting her name, but she’s in my documentary.

And several advisors close to Nicholas and his wife were working together to get the royal couple to read this “revelatory” Lost protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to convince him that his problems are entirely caused by a Zionist-Jew conspiracy out to overthrow the noble monarchies of Europe. And that’s what assassinated Alexander III and Alexander II, and what has been behind the turmoil of Russia… it was these Jew-Zionist types. And these influencers are like “here’s the smoking gun proof”…

Now, it turns out the whole thing’s a fraud.

It’s not to say that there aren’t truthful things infused into this limited hangout which reveal how conspiracies work. Much of that is true. But it has been proven that the text and the lines of logic, the arguments, the sequencing of the thoughts, the chapters of it were all taken, lifted directly from the work by Maurice Joly titled ‘A Dialogue in Hell Between Montesquieu and Machiavelli” which was a dialogue that was written as a polemic against Napoleon III in France decades earlier.

Encausse and his Theosophist assocatiates simply rehashed it for the sake of convincing Nicholas II, number one, to fire anybody who seems to have any type of connection to international financiers, like, for example, Count Sergey Witte- the pro-Lincoln Finance Minister of Russia. They would whisper to the czar saying “Witte is a Rothschild Zionist stooge, don’t you know?”

This gossip gets Witte fired like twice before being brought back in to clean up the mess that was caused by his being ousted.

American System leader of Russia- Count Sergey Witte

Here I am speaking of Witte’s effort to undo the damage of the 1905 revolution by invoking sweeping constitutional reforms, setting up the new Duma, ending the pogroms and providing economic opportunities to loosen the pressure cooker etc. But sadly, Czar Nicholas ends up believing the slanderers of Witte, fires him again, and reinstates the pogroms. This then creates this pressure cooker situation again and the pressure increases with expected results.

We then see more destabilizations, more directed energy of abused peoples that could then be weaponized in a proto-color revolutionary kind of way to destabilize Russia ever more. And Nicholas II has no clue what the hell is going on.

But again, these occult-intelligence overlaps.

You get it also in the Crowley networks, like there’s this book by Richard Spence called Secret Agent 666 on Crowley and British intelligence, which appears that there’s some good evidence that he was recruited to British intelligence by Lord Gascoyne Cecil while in Cambridge in 1897, right before he became a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

And Crowley was deployed first into Russia to set up networks there, interfacing with Papus’ networks. After that he was sent to the United States (around 1911). This occured through the invitation of the Sleepy Hollow Club, which is the same Sleepy Hollow Club of William Rockefeller in upper state New York which catered to the upper crust, blue blood establishment that created this massive private intelligence service right before WW1 was launched overseen by an important character named Claude Dancy.

Claude Dancy.

The same Claude Dancy that co-founded of MI5, although it wasn’t called MI5 then, it was called something else.

But that same Claude Dancy was also invited to come to Sleepy Hollow just before Aleister Crowley and they were interfacing with the same creeps such as Frank Quinn and Thomas Fortune Ryan, to set up an intelligence network in America. Crowley turns out to be shaping this network alongside another German intelligence occultist named George Sylvester Viereck.

And in his book, Richard Spence did a great job piecing together with original sources and letters archival work, extreme heavy lifting, that Crowley was largely the one responsible for the sinking of the Lusitania, the 1915 false flag where this passenger ship was laden with weapons, which would have broken America’s neutrality in World War I.

And it was through his networks that the information was passed on to German intelligence which revealed that there were weapons on the ship making it fair game for an attack by U-boat, which is what happened.

And the idea was to then create such an emotional situation that would trigger the psyche of the Americans to break out of their isolationism and want to enmesh themselves into World War I.

It took a couple more years for that to happen. But Crowley’s directing hand, this creepy, creepy Satanist who is somehow everywhere. He is organizing Irish independence agents, or better said, he is trying to redirect the focus of anti-British Irish independence movements with like WB Yeats and Roger Casement, who are all members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn… just like Papus in Russia.

And this thing is not just doing philosophical occult exercises, or weird sex magic rituals in the cupboards.

They are engaged in real world political processes, they are organizing anarchist communes that are also being used to kill a lot of statesmen from 1865 to 1914. You know, there’s so many of these very useful idiots who are conditioned in these anarchist cult communes that for whatever reason get it in their heads that it’s their divine mission to go and assassinate William McKinley, or Alexander II, or President Carnot or President Garfield, or, you know, the Australian Duke Ferdinand.

There’s a big list of statesmen who are offed in that 25-30 year period by these agencies that seem to also have strange directing hands from those who are hosting the anarchist conference international in 1871 which took place in London.

So it seems to be something that is subtly but directly influencing these seemingly different groups that all have similar effects of eliminating qualified statesmen and then introducing incompetent assholes in their place, who then all seem to have no capacity to avoid falling for traps that result in totally unnecessary wars of destruction such as World War I. It’s mind-blowing stuff, eh?

Mercouris: The Theosophical Attack on Russia

Well, indeed. Can I just say a few things here, because this is very interesting. First of all, about Nicholas II. I mean, the thing to understand about Nicholas is that he was a very, very straightforward, very devout Orthodox Christian.

He had no time for the occult at all. We do know that he did read the Protocols. Apparently, he read them with very, very great skepticism. He was not personally greatly influenced by him.

Unfortunately, The reality is that there were all sorts of other people in St. Petersburg, in the power structure, in the court, who had completely different outlook at that time. And it’s important to remember, theosophy basically originates in Russia with Blavatsky and people of that kind. So, it had a very great deal of influence in Russia at that time.

And these occult ideas that are there, certainly they existed and had a lot of influence in Russia at that time too. There’s a lot that could be said about the protocols. We now know a lot more about them than we used to. And you’re absolutely right.

They were a forgery and they were not a forgery by the secret police. The sort of people who probably forged them are exactly the milieu that you are talking about. And they were used politically, mostly in court politics, to get rid of people like Witte in exactly the way that you said. So that is one thing.

The other thing to say is, however, that this is the time when occult ideas are at their peak influence in European society and in European governments. Lots of people are drawn to them at this time. There’s a very strange book, by the way, that comes out in Britain at about this time called The Golden Bough. I don’t know if you’ve come across it, but it’s very old.

Ehret

James Fraser’s book. Yes, It’s super useful. It’s like a guidebook for grand strategists who are going to manipulate various occult tropes and myths. It’s a guidebook for social engineers.

Mercouris: The weakening of occult influence

Exactly. So one of the people who was a great fan was Winston Churchill, just to say. He read this book extensively, took it very, very seriously.

And you mentioned Aleister Crowley, who, by the way, my mother once met. He died in 1947, so they just overlapped. Anyway, so his influence in Britain is, again, a very understated thing. He was absolutely part of the British establishment.

He was perhaps the single most prominent occultist in the English-speaking world. in the 20th century. An awful lot of what you see as occult today, the ideas of the occult, basically originate with him. And he did have a great deal of political influence, and he’s widely believed to have been involved with British intelligence in all sorts of ways.

So absolutely, all of these things do come together, and by the way, they still exist today. I say that because when I was working at the Royal Courts of Justice, I was the person in the Royal Courts of Justice who used to have to read the reports about various occult groups that still function in Britain. and I remember reading them all. I remember reading about the very strange things that some of these people got up to and being very surprised that the police, who knew exactly who these people were, I mean literally knew exactly who these people were, weren’t interfering in any way with some of the things that they were doing, which were clearly criminal activities, just to say. So it does exist. It still continues to this day. I don’t think it has the influence that it did at the time that we have just been talking about.

So that’s one thing I would say. London, I suspect, was the center of much of this in early 20th century Europe, and it’s perhaps not surprising. The British Empire is starting to weaken. It is in decline.

It faces all of these various challenges. It’s perhaps looking to enlist other powers to support it. We’ve discussed in previous programs how they try to draw the Americans in, and they do very successfully, by the way. They get the Americans to come in and help them in the First World War, and help them in the Second World War, and then help them after the Second World War through NATO, and all of that.

But as a declining power, it’s perhaps not surprising that the British were looking for power. I start thinking about the occult. Again, I know a lot about this because I’ve met people who were involved in that sort of thing, in London especially during the interwar years. So the idea, you find power.

One of the things about these high level occult groups is that they are almost by definition extremely elitist.

So that appeals to people who imagine themselves, or who sometimes are, the elite.

Matt Ehret

Because you can only learn the arts of the mystical powers and stuff if you’re part of a bloodline, and then you’re special, and then you can be taught how to play Harry Potter.

Mercouris: The Elitist Mindset of Secret Societies

Exactly! And so they appeal very much to the sort of upper echelon of society. It is also an instrument of power and control as well. You have groups of people who meet in this way, and as I said, they do exercise a very, very great deal of sway. They are there.

They’re still there. I know that they do exist. But just as London today is a very diminished force compared to what it was in, say, 1900, or 1920, or 1930, or even 1950. So the occult itself, in Britain at least, has declined in proportion.

I mean, it is still there, but it doesn’t have the sway that it once did.

You were talking earlier about National Socialism- the German movement. I mean, some of these movements, one in particular, straightforwardly adheres to this ideology. It has combined the German ideology of the 1930s with the occult.

I mean, the two are completely fused in the mind of its followers. And that, by the way, also involves criminal activity, that they are very much involved in criminal activity. And I believe, I mean, it was obvious to me, by the way, and this is again, I’m saying things which I’ve said in many places, that the people who were mostly drawn to this were former army officers, British army officers, just to say.

So that gives you some idea. So, you know, these ideas do exist. They still continue to command some traction.

Ehret: The Enduring Problem of Satanism, Nazism and the Transformation of the US Military in Vietnam

Well, there’s so many thoughts that arose while I listened to you speak, but I know we are running to the top of the hour. But number one, the tendency of army officers who have been through hell to get recruited into the occult seems to be an objectively real phenomenon. We saw this after after the Vietnam War where there was a massive spike in satanic or ritual killings across the USA. And this is what led into the satanic panic.

But the satanic panic in America was being done because there actually was this greater preponderance of actual satanic ritual activity all across America that manifested in a number of ways. And a lot of that seems to have been correlated to the return of broken men who had done terrible things, like Operation Phoenix, which was overseen by who?

Colonel Michael Aquino, the second in command of the Church of Satan, who was working with Colonel [Edward] Lansdale. They were responsible for most of what became Operation Phoenix, which tortured and then murdered mostly civilians, 40,000 at least, but probably much larger. The statistics are hard to come by, but at least 40,000 by conservative estimates.

The Mai Lai massacre, things like that, were all being orchestrated by this guy who then comes back home to America, gets a vision from a demon that tells him to go to Wewelsberg Castle in 1975, where he carries out his famous Wewelsberg Working ritual, which he somehow got by reading some documents that persuaded him that this is what Heinrich Himmler was doing while running the Ahnenerbe Templars. Wewelsberg is where Himmler believed the headquarters of the Thousand Year Reich would be.

Himmler had built this as the headquarters of his revamped New Templar Order [aka: The Black Order] that he had overseen as grand master.

Wewelsberg Castle

Today Wewelsberg is still accessible and an occult Black Sun image is featured prominently in marble on the floor, and you’ve got this space for a roundtable built around an Eternal Flame where the 12 leading knights would do their weird incantations for the spirits.

And this is what this is exactly where Colonel Michael Aquino went and became persuaded through these rituals that he had been chosen or whatever, like Aleister Crowley had been who was told that by an emissary of Horus [while tripping balls on Ayahuasca] to invoke the age of Horus, the age of the sacred child, the sacred superstition.

But that has to always happen through some form of calamity that where most people have to die.

I don’t know why they always think there has to be some calamity that kills most people. And then Michael Aquino got the idea that before the Age of Horus must come the age of Set, the age of chaos and lies, to set the stage… And Aquino believes that he is a new prophet.

But then he goes on and starts working for Major General Albert Stubblebine chief of U.S. Army Intelligence after setting up the Temple of Set.

Major General Albert Stubblebine

Aquino is still a very highly placed Green Beret operative, working with the Psyop groups. He’s employed by General Stubblebine, who’s the head of army intelligence in the 1980s, overseeing the revolution in military affairs. He is commissioned to author the ‘From PSYOP to Mind Wars’ program with Paul E Vallely, another colonel who had headed up the seventh Psyop group.

They write this document which calls for a different kind of train involving a fusion of You ESP operations, remote viewing, spoon bending, occult type of training, I guess this also goes with psychedelic drug use as part of the occult idea, but then also technologies that involve electromagnetic pulses, EMF weapons and things like that.

This training program seems unbelievably crazy, but this actually is what has been defining the actual programs shaping the US military for decades. “Elite” groups such as the Jedi Mind Wars program, the First Earth Battalion, that Col. Jim Shannon oversaw were very real. This was revealed in the Jim Ronson book, The Men Who Stare at Goats.

It’s actually a true story. There was a Hollywood film featuring Jeff Bridges, and George Clooney (playing Stubblebine) which conveys this idea that the story is ajoke but it is all quite real.

That’s actually stuff that was done, but if you follow the careers of a lot of these graduates of these new training programs, they become the overseers, the new vanguard, Jedi super soldiers, as they think of themselves. They become convinced that they have transcended mortal human nature and have awoken super powers. It’s very ubermenschian.

This then goes on to play a major role in Desert Storm, in 9-11, the wars in the Middle East, the new Crusader program, and in a lot of the insane policies that occured in the post 9-11 age.

There is something to do with war trauma- like this Apocalypse Now type of stuff that that does lend itself to recruiting people into unhuman experiences.

We saw in the Boer War too, where many of Oxford young men came out of that process, such as Claude Dancy, as sort of new men who had died and were reborn in the fires of blood and war,. Something happened to them, where they did things that no human should ever do. They saw things, and experienced things that you shouldn’t ever experience, but somehow they became new men out of that, where they saw themselves as a mystical warrior caste… a vanguard of Templar warriors.

The entire Milner-Rhodes round table organization emerged this way… this was a society based upon Roundtables, Arthurian Grail mysteries, excalibur legends, Wagnerian tropes etc that had been so popular during the first crusades. During the Middle Ages, these mystery plays were a big part of recruiting high-value targets into becoming initiated into these Templar Crusader Mystic Orders, where they would first have to go on a quest, face death, face the Guardian at the threshold, integrate with the darkness inside of them somehow, and if they survived, they got to pick up Excalibur and become an elite knight.

This is the exact language by the way, that Aquino used in his Psyop to Mindwar document. He’s talking about the new mind wars program as being Excalibur. He literally calls it that.

He says: “Like the sword Excalibur, we have but to reach out and seize this tool; and it can transform the world for us if we have the courage and the integrity to enhance civilization with it. If we do not accept Excalibur, then we relinquish our ability to inspire foreign cultures with our morality. If they then desire moralities unsatisfactory to us, we have no choice but to fight them on a more brutish level.”

So this is the type of weird coloring in their imaginations that is defining real world policies that impact the lives of billions of people.

So when I hear people like Peter Thiel, or the Palantir CEO, Louis Mosley speaking about the Anti Christ or demonic or armaggedon, I get concerned.

Palantir CEO, Louis Mosley

When Louis Moseley talks about how he got the job with Alex Karp to become the CEO of Palantir UK, you should feel some unease… because as the official story goes, told by both men, Mosley was afraid that he wasn’t going to get the gig because his grandfather was Sir Oswald Moseley, the head of the British Union of Fascists who wanted to be the Fuhrer of England. And Mosley’s second in command was J.F.C. Fuller- the guy who innovated out blitzkrieg tactics for tank warfare and whose tactics are still taught in training programs across West Point and military colleges to this very day.

This guy is the second in command of Louis Oswald Mosley.

Sir Oswald Moseley, the head of the British Union of Fascists

He’was a grandmaster of the Argentum Astrum Lodge established by Crowley in 1907. And he’s doing back channels with the Nazi high command before and during WW2. He would have been the Secretary of Defense for England had Oswald Mosley been successful at becoming the Führer of England.

But it’s this guy’s grandson who finds himself going in for a business meeting to become the CEO of Palantir UK. And he was supposedly afraid that he wasn’t going to get the job. And as he tells it, Alex Karp calms him down by reciting from memory a full speech by Oswald Mosley from 1939. And he’s like, “wow, we’re friends.”

And of course, he got the job.

Now, of all the people in the world, You got this guy positioned overseeing contracts with the USA as of 2025, some of the biggest contracts on integrating AI with the UK Military giving Palantir all sorts of influence not only over the UK but all of Europe.

These have been immense record-breaking military contracts where Palantir is now going to be granted the rights to increasingly control the AI decision-making of military and even NHS and even municipal policing efforts. Predictive policing is a big part of their ambitions as well, to be able to do preventative thought crime, where you can just measure the metrics, the banking activity, the online commentaries of people in order to act on future crimes before they happen, which is very Minority Report.

And that’s actually part of an active project that Palantir has been doing since 2013, that they’re trying to spread around the Western world.

So there’s some serious continuity.

I don’t think that it’s all one grand conspiracy, but I think that there are some bad habits and too much continuity to overlook between these things that were happening a century or more ago, and this obsession that Peter Thiel seems to have with the book of Revelation, the Antichrist, Ubermenschen Transhumanism etc that I don’t think is just an innocent fetish.

I think he’s seriously obsessed with this idea that he thinks is tied to what he has to bring into being.

Mercouris

Indeed, the resonances are remarkable. And of course, it’s a flight from reality.

I mean, it was a flight from reality, a genuine flight from reality in the late 19th, early 20th century, which led to disaster and with a deeply misanthropic and anti-humanist, and I would say anti-Christian quality about it. And you see exactly the same today. And it’s unsurprising that the two share very, very much in common. And perhaps that there is a direct line of connection between the two.

Well, Matt, this has been an extraordinarily interesting program. Again, it was always with you. We cover huge amounts of ground and it’s always intellectually very, very interesting.

You’ve reminded me of things that I have read and experienced, you know, various times in my life. But anyway, thank you again and let’s look forward to having you again. on our programs. Thank you.

Ehret

Absolutely. It’s always a pleasure.

Alex Christoforou

Before you go, before you go, where can people follow your work real quick?

Ehret

Yes. Okay, so the new film can be watched currently only on my Substack. matthewehret.substack.com.

It’s under a $5 paywall, not the end of the world, but it’s worth it. I encourage people to check it out. We will eventually make it for free. Also, it’s on AtlaLux if you want to go there.

Lastly, I want people to know that along with the film, we have released a special report that has a crazy ass picture of Hitler pointing up to the Black Sun, a little UFO there for a reason you’ll find in the book, (spoiler: a bunch of theosophical pro-Nazi movements ended up creating the entire UFO cult movement after 1945.)

There’s a chapter on that topic, and then Blavatsky’s right there on the cover for a reason. So that book is available on Amazon, or anyone can write to me if they want a signed copy. Cynthia and myself and our friend Mike King co-wrote that book.
