Another Weird Year

Dana, stalking around in May

Have you ever seen the movie adaption of The Mothman Prophecies? It's an adaption in theory only, really. It's not set in the Sixties and the John Keel character has been split into two seemingly opposite poles, one played by British actor Alan Bates and another played by Richard Gere, of all people.

Spy vs Spy: Bizarro Cold War, or Russians Am Coming

In am out. Wet am dry. Up am down in Bizarro America.

Billionaires iz Democratz. Republicanz iz Populisticals. Democratz am McCarthyites in Bizarro America. 

The Secret Sun on THC

It's been nearly a month since Greg Carlwood and I tore into it for three hours, covering all kinds of ground and any number of different topics. 

Happily, Greg was able to make some sense of it all and banged it all into a fairly-coherent 2 1/2 hour chat.

Breaking Saturn's Spell: Arrival & Doctor Strange

2016. Yes, sir. What can you say about 2016? 

Mithras Rising: Praetorian Spellcraft

Trump hasn't even taken office yet and already the country feels vastly different. You can literally feel the presence of the new Praetorian Guardsmen, the alpha-male's alpha-males who are insinuating themselves into the corridors of power.

It feels like a different country because it is one.

Mithras Rising: Nova Caesarea

As I said before, I've been expecting something big to come out of New Jersey for several years now. And it makes sense that it's happening when and where it is for a number of reasons that I've been tracking for a long time now as well.

Mithras Rising and the New Praetorians

Eight years ago we looked at the incoming Obama Administration, which seemed determined to touch as many potent symbolic bases as possible, touring temples and pyramids, making a number of 17 minute speeches and drawing explicit parallels to King Tut.

It seemed as if there were a program in place to charge this new President with as much symbolic and semiotic power as possible. Those were heady days.

Life's a Riot with Spy vs. Spy

Well, that was a surprise.

Life's a Riot with Spy vs. Spy

Well, that was a surprise.

Like a lot of you I wasn't expecting that. But it makes more sense as we move on and more information comes to the surface. It may well be that what we just witnessed- though hardly anyone realized it, or will realize it- was the end result of a secret war between powerful factions of the Deep State. Well, perhaps not the end result but certainly a climax. 

Progress is a Scribbly Line

We're taught that ancient civilizations were just rest-stops on the great expressway to the technocratic Utopia; that myth is being shoved down our throats in the media every day. 
 

Project Blue Beam: The Hoax that Won't Die.

By far the most read post on this blog is my "Project Blue Beam Exposed" extravaganza, which exhaustively details the source material (old Star Trek scripts) for this long-running hoax. 

Lucifer's Technologies: Move Fast and Break Civilization

Fueled by technology, powerful forces are smashing America-- and in fact, the world-- to hell all in the name of the new religious dogma of "disruption". Nothing is safe- your job, your home, your family, your community, your future.

Not even reality itself, it seems.

You'll Be Godlike, Part One

Whoever wins the upcoming US Presidential election is going to find themselves in the unenviable position of being totally despised by one-half of the American electorate, to the extent that the country may in fact become ungovernable. That would be a tough, perhaps untenable, situation for the most talented politician.

That's a description I wouldn't waste on either of the leading Presidential candidates.  Not even close.

AstroGnostic: The Theater of Mysteries

Timing is everything.

While going over the volumes of material I've collected about A., the improbable postwar tech/electronics boom and B., the Sumerian origin of the Lucifer archetype, a very strange press conference was held in Iraq, the cobbled-together country which is built on Sumer's ruins.

Uncle Sam's Secret Sorcerers: Coming for Your Children

This has been a difficult series to write. I really don't like to dwell on this type of subject matter and there aren't any happy endings to these stories.

Stranger Things: (Real Life) Eighties Horror

Stranger Things works a lot of well-tilled plots, familiar riffs from countless 80s horror and (predominantly) sci-fi films. 

Uncle Sam's Secret Sorcerers: Exorcised

The Exorcist is suddenly everywhere these days: there's even now a theme-park attraction and FOX TV series based on the film. The Exorcist's new star expressed her hopes for new show on NBC's Today:

Uncle Sam's Secret Sorcerers, Part V

In 1969, screenwriter and novelist William Peter Blatty began work on a new piece of fiction... 

Secret Star Trek: Programs and Predictions

I wanted to make note of this remarkable video, from the popular Film Theory YouTube channel. It took a while but the message I was trying to put across several years ago seems to have finally sunk in here.

And that is behind the disarming velvet glove of Star Trek's seductive techno-futurism and idealistic multiculturalism is the iron fist of militaristic totalitarianism and expansionist imperialism.

Secret Star Trek: The Nine & Trek's True Creators

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Star Trek to air, 'The Man Trap'. Not one of the more memorable episodes of the series, it still remains a cultural landmark, the launching point of a sci-fi franchise that continues to this day.

Stranger Things: Meet Me in Montauk

So many-- maybe too many-- loose strands are tying together it seems.

Stranger Things: The Upside-Down World

I've finished my Stranger Things rewatch and have been mulling over all the various possibilities as to what it's really trying to tell us. Interviews with the credited creators (the Duffer Brothers) haven't told me much, especially since they've given a couple different stories as to how they came up with the story in the first place.

Stranger Things and the Theater of Blowback

....................................

I'm into my Stranger Things rewatch now. And with the story already told and digested in my mind I find myself, more than anything else, focusing on the patchwork of influences it borrows from. 

Go Watch Stranger Things

2016 has been a messed-up year.

I probably don't need to remind anyone of that but it bears repeating anyway. 

Expanding Your Vision

I was driving around with my daughter the other day and listening to the top 40 radio station with her. And each and every song I heard was like a flashback, usually to the late 80s or early 90s. 

Lucifer's Technologies: The Innovation Ring

Western Electric would also 

eventually become part of Lucent

We are surrounded by technology of a kind that our great-grandparents could barely have conceived of. And now it's threatening to change all our lives in ways we still don't understand. 

Lucifer's Technologies: Fallen from the Sky

Technology rules our lives, so much so that some Futurists predict that humanity will be replaced by robots and artificial intelligences. 

How exactly did the postwar technology boom come about? Nothing like it had ever been seen in human history and we're still sorting through the breakthroughs made in that era. 

Go Back to Hell, Lucifer. You're Embarrassing Yourself.

What a shitshow

I just read that Fox has renewed its "adaption" of the Vertigo/DC comics series Lucifer for a second season. 

Sync Log: The Fox and the Flocks

Jupiter and Moon, taken 4/17 

I ended the previous post (about the Ba'al Gate controversy) with this conclusion:

I've been finding myself looking at all my Mesopotamian books lately, my Samuel Noah Kramer books and all the rest of them. In comparison the Egyptian material seems almost whimsical, comforting, much more like the Bible than Jews or Christians would want to admit.  

 

Space/Gods: As Above, So Ba'al-Low

Ba'al in his flying sky-chariot

We're five days out from the erection of the reproduction of the Palmyra triumphal arch in Trafalgar Square in London. There won't be a simultaneous installation in New York for reasons we'll look at in a moment.

Safe-Space Satanism

You might be one of those people who thinks hipsters ruin everything they touch. You might think that 21st century youth culture- once a cauldron of sex, style and subversion- has been neutered and blanderized and sucked dry of meaning, vitality and most of all, menace.

 If so, you may want to stop reading now. 

DisinUFOmation: Tom DeLonge Sells His Sekret

At the same time we saw the very strange story of Kyle Odom and his war against the aliens, a UFO-related story of a considerably different order was going live, hitting several major media outlets.

Love Me Like a Reptile: Kyle Odom vs. the Sex-Crazed Martians

This story made the news on March 9th:

Idaho pastor shooting suspect arrested, expresses 'space alien' concerns 

An ex-Marine accused of shooting a prominent Idaho minister outside his church was arrested after he threw objects over the fence of the White House. police said. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed Kyle Andrew Odom's arrest to NBC News late Tuesday night. 

 

The Birds Are Not What They Seem

Well, last week began with The Secret Sun delving into bird symbolism and UFO themes in the context of precognition, and ended with two major Presidential candidates inserting bird symbolism and UFO themes into the headlines all across the major media.

How about that?

"Bad Things Happen When the Birds Gather"

I began writing Our Gods Wear Spandex on September 11, 2001. For some reason I can only ascribe to my Holy Guardian Angel, I wasn't in the WTC PATH station around 9 AM that morning. 

Star*Ships Have Landed: Interview with Gordon White

Gordon White has written a foundational text for the new millennium. Star*Ships is nothing less than a long-overdue door kicking in the halls of academic history and anthropology. But what is this book about and how did it come to be, you may ask? 

Have You Heard the News? Occultism is Dying. Again.

When I began actively blogging again I wrote a piece on the Borg-like power of the New Age movement, a movement that seemed both ubiquitous and invisible. 

Secret Sun Picture Parade: The Oscars Dream in (Solar) Gold

It all speaks for itself, don't you think?

Stolen History: The Mystery of Gold

I used to be a big fan of The History Channel, back when they used to actually show documentaries on history. The Learning Channel (now TLC) and Discovery Channel, too. My primary interest has always been in early civilizations, up to and including Greco-Roman; Sumer, Babylon, Egypt, Phoenicia and so on, but I'd pretty much watch whatever was on. 

The X-Files: Babylon Working

Well, I've been saying it for years- since well before I started blogging- that The X-Files was basically a ritual drama based on the ancient Mysteries,the religions that arose in the Greco-Roman world during a time when the people had lost faith in the old gods and emphasized ecstatic experience over dogma.

Enki's Playground: The Domed City of Dubai

The city-state of Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, is one of the great puzzles of our time. Why did a sprawling metropolis that looks like like it stepped out of a Star Wars movie spring out of an obscure strip of sand in the Persian Gulf, practically overnight? Given that Dubai itself has little in the way of oil wealth, who paid for it all?

It's Not What It Looks Like

You know we're in a ride when this year when there's an "Osiris Expo" in Paris. The Expo actually opened in September and is moving to London (where else?) next. 

Super Bowl L: Bread and Circuses. Plus, Symbols.

Super Bowl L aired last night, marking the end of many eras. Peyton Manning looked every bit like a man all-too-ready to retire, kept aloft only by the most dominant defense in football.*

Clownshow 2016: Their Campaign Logos Speak the Unspeakable

This blog really found its voice during the 2008 Presidential Elections when I noticed that the two major candidates running for office seemed to incorporating the hieroglyph for Sirius in their campaign logos.

Or more accurately, the Stairway to Sirius.

X-Files: "They're All Mythology Episodes"

Mulder and Scully talk with nun 

played by XF vet Christine Willes

Recently Mike Clelland (author of The Messengers, which you should pick up as soon as you're done with this) and the good fellows at the Sync Book Press reported on the second episode of season 10 of The X-Files, "Founder's Mutation", written and directed by TenThirteen founding father James Wong. 

The X-Files Revival Strikes a Nerve.

So after 14 years off the air, 11 months of waiting after the revival was announced and most excruciatingly, 20 minutes of contentless, post-game fluff and a mind-rotting avalanche of commercials, the new episode of The X-Files aired. 

What Year is This? It's SecretSun16

What an interesting year this has been already.

Last year during the New Horizon mission to Pluto (and points beyond), I speculated that the real purpose of this mission was not Pluto at all but was in fact about searching the murky reaches of space beyond the former planet, specifically looking for Planet X. 

Bowie, Blackstar, and the Stories still Untold

Bowie's farewell with Blackstar was so meticulously planned and executed, both musically and visually, both as a masterpiece of media manipulation and also as a magical working.

Seen From Space: The Inaugural Secret Soup Summit

I rarely speak. It's one of the hazards of self-employment. I'm alone most of the day, trapped within my own inner dialogue. I don't get many opportunities to flex those verbal muscles, but am thinking I should take it upon myself to practice, y'know, talking more often. 

Synchronicity Can Teach Us Hard Lessons

As I wrote in the previous post, 2015 had some hard lessons for me. But sometimes those are the lessons we need. One thing you will notice is that the more you tune in to what is happening beneath the surface of consensus reality, the more pronounced your experiences become, whether good, bad or in-between. 

The New Age Unleashed: Resistance is Futile

A link popped up recently in my Facebook feed, titled "Ten Facebook Pages You Need to Stop Sharing From." It was a link to a blog called "Dawn's Brain," the author of which seems to be an art teacher who decided to expand her resume into teaching biology (probably in reaction to arts programs being increasingly targeted by budget-minded administrators).
