  • Reply to: New Barrier Reef Find Proves Australians Didn’t Learn Pottery from Europe   1 week 6 days ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    Do we know for sure this was shared technology? It may have been that, but it may have also simply been Lapita/Papuan presence in the area which should hardly be surprising. If it was shared technology with a local Aboriginal tribe, the technology appears to have died out in Australia. There is not a single shred of good evidence for Aboriginal pottery at the tine of European exploration although, as good evidence and Australian anthropology long ago parted company, I guess that doesn't so much matter...

  • Reply to: Why So Few Witches Were Executed in Wales in the Middle Ages   2 weeks 1 day ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    There are witches today. Some are herbalists dabbling stupidly in the Occult. Others are more akin to the witch in the Hansel and Gretel fairytale with all that implies regarding child abuse.

    The latter are master manipulators, keen to control the narrative on the subject and to normalise the abnormal. I urge readers to be generally cautious for the probability that they can spot the latter is extremely low. In fact, from what I've seen, it's basically zero.

    "Would McDonalds invade New Zealand because their government banned the sale of Big Macs?"

    No, because they don't need to. Both McDonalds and the NZ government are controlled by the same forces. Historians should read Machiavelli's infamous tome and attempt to understand it. A court jester was paid by the king to, at times, lampoon him, not because the king wanted to be lampooned but because he didn't want to be. Taking things like the reason why a court jester exists at face value is the short way to serfdom. The NZ government plays the role of court jester and the Sherriff of Nottingham simultaneously.

    The penultimate sentence below should have been "They rarely stand up and, instead, go with the status quo."

    I post this as a reply as I cannot edit it.

    "Google’s unofficial motto ‘Don’t be evil,’ would’ve been handy for the VoC four centuries ago, because they were, undoubtedly, evil."

    And Google isn't evil? People don't change much and neither do massive global corporations. The commonplace idea that power corrupts misses the point almost completely.

    Power attracts the already corrupted, just like the VoC did, which cuts out the middle man, again just like the VoC did, and simplifies the process. Corporations like Google have massive power. They're just better at mind control these days, so people don't notice how they're reacting to Google in the same soft manner that people reacted to the VoC with.

    That it couldn't happen today is just another commonplace myth that salves the conscience unjustifiably. It can happen today and does and shall continue to because millions, and perhaps billions, don't notice and often don't want to notice.

    People are usually timid. They rarely stand up and go with the status quo. So is and does this article.

    "...many historians also believe that Jesus was based on a real historical figure..."

    Quìtè a few successful historians secretly worship the Devil. The Devil ensures their success in academia and in prìnt and on television. In return, they question either the divinity or the existence of Jesus.

    One may reduce the ĺìst to two, including one not mentioned.

    Namely, Jesus and the Devil.

    The choice between the two is yours.

  • Reply to: Why Are Humans So Vain Compared to Other Animals? (Video)   3 weeks 3 days ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    People are capable of expressing vanity in a way animals are not. However, that doesn't mean all animals are incapable of vanity. To give a cat, for example, a human ability of such expression would not be something I would want to see.

  • Reply to: The Knights of the Star and their Giant Sacred Pentagram in France   3 weeks 3 days ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    There's quite a bit of questionable Judaeo-Christianity in this. The menorah is certainly linked to the Old Testament but, equally, it is in more modern times linked to the Occult. The latter links are too obvious to be ignored, once known. Positioning in a cathedral does not necessarily negate this.

    To truly follow the symbolism is, ultimately, to end up contemplating the ease at which the Devil hijacks Godly symbolism for ungodly purposes.

    Anything less than that is either misleading or being misled.

    While I do agree that we’re a very vain species, we’re not alone in this category.  Many bird species strut their stuff, puff their feathers and sing distinctive courting songs.  In this respect, we’re one of many species who are vain.

    It’s normal to want to look our best and other species do this as well.  Cats, for example are always licking their coats to spruce them up.  We like to think we’re the smartest of all animal species, but how do we know this for sure, when we can’t speak their languages?

  • Reply to: Avalon: Island of Apples   3 weeks 5 days ago
    Comment Author: Nicko4404

    I don't believe, as with a lot that Plutarch wrote, that Avalon was copied from Elysium Fields. Apart from the fact that the myths are completely different, the fact that it was a foundation myth for the Irish indicates that it's considerably older than Latin civilisation. And, as with a lot of things "Roman" ie roads, heavy wheeled traffic legionary helmets etc possibly the other way around. In Tasmania, I know that the Irish convicts were amazed that here the apple trees both flower and fruit at the same time, previously only something that happened in Avalon

  • Reply to: The Strange Truth About Neanderthal Sex Lives (Video)   4 weeks 1 day ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    The strange truth about mind control is that if one develops a myriad of interconnected lies, often based òn half-truths at best, and repeat them often enough, people can be prevented from searching for the truth.

    After all, they are certain that they already know it.

    Is Crohn's caused by Neanderthal genetics, or are there other factors? That is not to rule out genetics, for illness can even be encouraged through genetic targeting and there are those more than willing to do this and more than capable of doing it.

    Did an asteroid seal the fate of these mighty behemoths?

    No, ah, a flood of evidence is rising, that it was an event of Biblical proportions after all...

  • Reply to: Sir Isaac Newton’s Astronomical Dating of Christ's Crucifixion   1 month 1 day ago
    Comment Author: ajax

    A modern day preacher has written in the 20th century that the probable day was Tuesday. The reasoning was that Jesus had to be removed and interned before sunset because the next day was a High Holy Day. The Sabbath was not a High Holy Day. That meant that Friday would be the next day for buying ointments for body cleansing. The Sabbath would be Saturday and therefore the next day to the tomb would be Sunday. The whole kink in the accepted versions is High Holy Day being different than Sabbath. As far as Newton and his writings ,he was probably an Illuminati since has mind appears to on a stage above our self concious minds as some were at that time risen to that state as was Jesus,Paul ,Bhudda and the 12 Apostiles at Penticost.

    One of the biggest questions of biological science is exactly what constitutes a 'species'. Australia's iconic gum trees are a case in point. They are split into three genera, but could easily be double that number, whilst the number of terminal taxa (almost a thousand) could be halved.

    The differences in species are often so minute, a layperson would not notice them at all. While people are not gum trees, the same principle can apply to us.

    Added to this is the questionable dating that infests anthropology and other branches of life and Earth science. The presumption that the rate of carbon decay for dating has always been constant is unprovable. Geological layers are dated according to each other, a bit like a house of cards having an ace at the top because a deuce is at the bottom with an orderly progression in between. However, again the deuce at the bottom has been deduced and not proven.

    In short, science is controlled by those who wish to control. Yet, their control is seen widely as freedom.

    Not so much a "longing for an idyllic past" as a sinless one. Given the manifest sin that surrounds and infests us now, that's well worth longing for.

    Even better though, is to look forward rather than back. The book of Revelation is slowly being revealed as prophesy and Satan as real. The Second Coming is coming and all would do well to prepare themselves accordingly.

    Great reminder about the power of Maya healing, thanks Jo!! I’m about to head off the lands of the Maya once again, and I will make sure to take my chia seeds and cacao.

    My all time favorite fairytale is Fitcher's Bird. It's dark and grim, and unlike most of the Brothers Grimm tales, the heroine manages to save herself and her sisters.
