Spare Us the Qatar: World Cup Watcher Worship

The 2022 World Cup is upon us, much to the delight of the world and the crushing indifference of uncultured Yanks like myself. And since it is indeed 2022, the goings-on are positively drenched in the high ritualism of the worldwide Watcher cult. 

All slathered with a thick and viscous glaze of Knowles' First Law, of course.

He Walks Ammon Us: Egypt's Restoration Ritual at Luxor

Well, there it is, right on schedule. The Great Restoration takes another giant leap forward and reaffirms the ancient kingdom of Egypt as its own. Fortuitous timing too, since it seems a lot of people were starting to doubt my grip on reality - yet again - when talking about the grand rituals of the Sorcerarchy. 

Always seems to work out this way, doesn't it? My cross to bear, I suppose.

PseudoScience Friday: We'll Leave the Lights On For You

Well, there you have it. I'm not sure exactly what to think about this here: is this just more clickbait from the pop-science-site crowd, just one of an endless series of junk stories that come and go without ever amounting to anything? 

The Never-Ending Ritual: Play Ba'al

Well, there it is. Kind of says it all, don't you think? 

You just gotta laugh. Because if you don't, you could well go mad.

Keep Rollin', Rollin', Rollin' (Down the River Styx)

Well, that Old Devil Time strikes again and takes another giant away off the boards. Burt Reynolds had what you might call a checkered career but when I was a kid he was nothing less than what nearly every red-blooded American male aspired to become. 

Burt Reynolds was the alpha-male's alpha male. He was a boss's boss.

ApocalypseNews 2Night: Lusting After Strange Gods

Here's the real truth about "Robot Sex Culture," Mildred: THE HUMAN EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED. Don't believe me?

Entrainment Tonight: Mother of Pearls

Why aren't you wearing your Pearls, citizen? We noticed you didn't wear your Orange yesterday, either. I need to swipe your social credits card, please. 

OK, I think we might have a bit of a problem here. Sit tight, I need to call my supervisor.

Apocalypse This Week: Shock Treatment

OK, so much entrainment, so little time. I'm a bit harried at the moment -- and there is so much going on all around us and so much being dumped on our heads -- that it's all rather overwhelming. 

So let's dive in and I'll let all you very smart folks pick up the slack in the comments.

Nephilim, Seraphim, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

The Pearl entrainment campaign train keeps-a-rollin', and hot on the heels of the Gucci's Pearl-heavy 2018 advertising blitz -- which seems to have been the official kickoff for this particular liturgy of the Never-Ending Ritual -- the floodgates have well and truly opened, the levee's gone and broke, the dam has finally burst. 

Dubai is Babylon 2.0

I get the feeling a lot of people still don't quite take Dubai seriously and see it as a weird artifact of a prolonged oil boom that brought shiploads of eff-you money to a bunch of desert sheikhs who never quite figured out what they wanted to do with it all.

Apocalypse 2Night: What Could Go Wrong?

A Silicon Valley startup that literally wants to kill you so it can preserve your brain for future digitizing and uploading?

Ritual Olympics: The Locusts are Coming.

The Winter Olympics just wrapped up, and did so in style. 

Subterranean Cosmo-Demonic AI Blues

Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality. 

2018: Same Great 2017 Taste, with 33% More Apocalypse!

"Some people are falling for it." Of course they are, because those mannequins don't look anything at all like oversized action figures. And the bumpkins and naifs who attend the Consumer Electronics Show aren't used to seeing these kinds of exhibits, right? 

But hey, you gotta push those antihuman memes so what's a little white lie for the cause?

Orgasmic Obelisk Rituals Ring in 2018

One thing you can take to the bank: Dubai is not to be outdone. 

When it comes to ringing in the New Year, the sheikhs of UAE will spare no expense when it comes to illuminating their sacred phalli.

"The Great Siren That Sitteth Upon Many Waters..."

Mermaid Mania shows now sign of stopping but leave it to Richard Branson to take it all to the next level. 

I mean, what's a manufactured Apocalypse without a Scarlet Woman, right? 

Kevin or Las Vegas

Kevin Spacey in Se7en

Is it just me or do you feel like some malfunctioning AI has taken control of reality and is using current events for a game of symbolic charades?

The Mother of All Modern Rituals

You can keep your Mandonna EgyptoRoman war is peace rally. Nothing will ever be as over the top -- or as revealing-- as the opening of the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai in 2008.

 

Stairway to Sirius: From Oslo to Oannes

OSLO - Obama's speech at the Nobel ceremony really caught my attention, in that it wasn't a peace speech at all. It was an apology-for-war speech.

Seen From Space: Burj Dubai, the 17 Skyscraper

 

Well, well, well...it appears Dubai is down but not out. The unveiling (as it were) of the new Burj Dubai tower was heralded by yet another seen-from-space fireworks display (which again, was incomprehensible to anyone looking at it from ground level as the video shows) as well as the same climaxing-obelisk fireworks we saw in Asia on the New Year.
