    SOUND CREDIT: The Chamber Stage (YouTube) Support the boys (Thomas Vanek & Richard Sinex) and I on YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@hemlock-yt⁠ Because someone will ask: the Nixon tape is from Feb 1st 1972 and features the Reverend Billy Graham giving his fascinating interpretation of the Jewish Question in the Oval Office. Nixon concludes (its' a little garbled on the tape) by saying "I believe it. I can't say it but I believe it." ⁠https://www.nixonlibrary.gov/white-house-tapes/662/conversation-662-004⁠ The books in question are "The Contrarian" by Max Chafkin (the better book, for the record) and "The Philosopher in the Valley" by Michael Steinberger. If you are interested in browsing the internet without Palantir et. al. surveilling you, I would highly recommend you look into the Tor Project, and specifically the Tor Browser: https://www.torproject.org/download/

Blavatsky William Wynn Westcott Aleister Crowley John Dee Edward Kelly A. E. Waite Erich Fromm and Wilhelm Reich References: Douglas Haig, the Battle of the Somme, and Séances "On 20th September 1906, Haig attended a séance with his sister Henrietta where he sought advice as to whether the expansion of the Territorial Army would be more satisfactory on a company or battalions basis. He was advised by the spiritualist a Miss McCreadie to adopt the former rather than the latter. Apparently, when Ms McCreadie gave this advice she was under the control of a native girl called ‘Sunshine’, who had Napoleon by her side. Haig must have found this circumstance most reassuring." Kant's Hilariously Stupid Anthropology of Blackness Crowley Getting Kicked Down the Stairs by W. B. Yeats Victorian Mummy Powder Mahayana Buddhism Lawrence v. Texas (2003) Last Repeal of Anti-Sodomy Law in America The "Lost" Language of Senzar (Blavatsky) Master Hilarion (Also Blavatsky) Nazis Using Pendulums to (Not) Find British Ships Out of their depth. By 1942, British Navy vessels had begun to shift the tide in the Atlantic battlefront, sinking more German U-boats than Hitler’s army could Allied submarines. Scientific progress proved a major factor in Allied dominance, with the development of Radar and Sonar technology significantly upping the odds of locating German vessels in deep water. But Germany Navy officials had a different strategy in mind: U-boat captain Hans Roeder convinced colleagues in arms the British were using pendulums to predict their boats’ location underwater. As an amateur pendulum dowser himself, the enterprising captain established the Pendulum Institute to pinpoint British ships, enlisting pendulum dowsers and occultists from across the country and tasking them with applying their clairvoyant powers to search for British vessels. Results were, unsurprisingly, not altogether successful. Books Mentioned: Perdurabo by Richard Kaczynski The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune The Key to Theosophy by H. P. Blavatsky John Dee and the Empire of Angels by Jason Louv The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie A New Encyclopaedia of Freemasonry By A. E.
