BOOK: Empire Beneath the Ice: How the Nazis Won World War II - The truth about history has been hidden from us. In Empire Beneath the Ice, author and researcher Stephen Quayle reveals why most of what we learned (were told) about World War II and the Allied forces "defeat" of Nazi Germany is wrong. Hitler actually won, and the Nazi Empire continued in Neuschwabenland (New Swabia, Antarctica). [Wait, how could the Nazis have won if Hitler committed suicide? - He didn't. That was fake, a cover up to let him escape by U-boat. He not only survived, he moved to the Americas along with many other Nazis, living for years in Argentina, right next door to New Swabia and its underground cities alongside the forces that nearly catapulted him to dictator and universal monarch. It's what the research shows, and it isn't only Quayle saying it.] More: gensix.com
A former FBI agent’s urgent call for U.S. law enforcement to prioritize far-right violence and end tolerance for police racism: In Policing White Supremacy, former FBI agent Mike German, who worked undercover in white supremacist and militia groups, issues a wake-up call about American law enforcement’s dangerously lax approach to far-right violence even as it clamps down on anything it perceives or claims to perceive as "leftist."
Uncle Adi, were you making us the master race?
Despite over a hundred deadly acts by far-right militants since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and the far right’s attempts to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected president on January 6, the FBI continues to deprioritize investigations into white supremacist violence, instead targeting marginalized groups such as environmentalists and Black Lives Matter. In 2005, for example, the FBI labeled eco-terrorists as the top domestic threat, despite not a single fatal attack in the United States. More
(Origins Explained) AI decoded ancient Sumerian texts and stone tablets (Latin being closer to Akkadian than English). Humans were NOT the first on Earth. There were "gods" (intelligent space beings) here before that. What is this Sumerian language writing system? The mythological story of "Adam and Eve" is older than the Christian and Jewish Bibles. Creation myth: the Enūma Elišh
(MythVision TV) Dec. 1, 2025: In this groundbreaking documentary, we embark on a riveting journey through time and belief, tracing the enigmatic origins of YHWH, the name revered as "God" in Abrahamic religions [YHWH to Jews, Jehovah to Christians, Allah to Muslims?].
Guided by the profound insights of Dr. Joshua Bowen and Dr. Kipp Davis, two esteemed scholars in ancient Near Eastern Studies and biblical archaeology, this episode delves deeply into the dusty realms of ancient texts and artifacts. As we navigate through the complex tapestry of history, culture, and theology, Dr. Bowen and Dr. Davis illuminate the path, shedding light on how YHWH evolved from a regional tribal deity to a monotheistic icon, shaping the spiritual landscape of billions of fearful humans.
Join us as we uncover the layers of faith, myth, and history that surround the origins of YHWH, revealing a story as profound and enduring as the name itself.

Is there a Buddhist parallel to this popular Western story of a Garden, a first human couple, a Wisdom Tree, and a tricky shapeshifting Serpent? There is. One need only look at the Agganna Sutta, "A Buddhist Genesis," a discourse given by the Buddha "On Beginnings."
But first it may be better to question the Sumerian, Jewish, Christian version -- made silly by its oversimplification over the millennia. The Christian version makes next to no sense, the Jewish interpretations a little more sense, and the much older Sumerian roots from texts like the Epic of Gilgamesh the Enūma Eliš. All of these are creation myths rooted in some kind of history.
Sadly, many readers misunderstand the Buddhist version of "Genesis." The Buddha is in no way explaining how life began. It is preexisting. He is merely explaining how it came to Earth and how karma (deeds) impacts the environment. As people become so, too, the world declines. We are not evolving so much as devolving from a Golden Age (Satya Yuga), and it is all cyclical. It happens again and again.
This is an echo of the older Vedic (Hindu) and Shramanic (Jain) versions, and that is because "Buddhism" does not begin with the historical Buddha. He is constantly referring back to previous buddhas (Great Heroes or Ford-makers as Jainism calls them, avatars and sages in the Old Vedic Religion that became Brahmanism and much later Hinduism).
At their pure inner core, all beings know that they are not separate from one another. In that state of mind, it is as if they live in a Garden of Eden, where they have no need for shame, no need to differentiate friend from foe, good from evil, and no need to imagine a creator god to oversee their behavior.
They have no expectations that their lives should be other than they are.
It's all me. I created everything. - Even us?
But something in our nature likes to delude us into forgetting this oneness [or unity] of all things and into believing that life should be fairer than it is.
We give that demon a name, Mara [Death, the Obstacle to Enlightenment], to help us identify it.
Suppose that, a very long time ago, the first two human beings evolved from earlier beings. We’ll call them Adam and Eve. Their inner core, or Buddha-nature [or natural state of only dreaming and soon to awake], was pure, and they had no fear of other beings, no sense of good and evil, no self that was separate from other beings and from whatever force brought them into being.
Adam and Eve did have a sense, though, that one of the trees in their garden bore intoxicating [entheogenic] fruit that they should stay away from.
That was the Tree of Duality. Looking for an opportunity to trick Adam and Eve into believing they were distinct separate beings, Mara [the Deceiver] took the form of a snake to talk with them.
No beings had ever lied to Adam and Eve, and they had no way of knowing that the snake was not really a being, so they listened as the demon Mara told them how much fun it would be to become intoxicated on the fruit of the Tree of Duality.
Zarathustra, Iran (Persia)
So Adam and Eve ate the fruit and became drunk with duality. They began to see the world as a conflict between good and evil [as taught in the novel Near East religion of Zarathustra called Zoroastrianism].
They decided that only a cruel god would create such an unfriendly place, so they invented the god of the Old Testament and then hid from him.
Because Mara had taken the form of a snake, they feared and despised all snakes. They made distinctions everywhere: friend and foe, human and animal, smart and dumb, handsome and ugly, strong and weak, rich and poor. They began to see old age, sickness, and death as unfair, as burdens, as suffering.
Four prophets: Mani, Zoraster, Buddha, Jesus
They thought child-bearing was punishment. So that was how Mara, for thousands of years to come, deluded human beings into forgetting that they could return to the Garden of Eden.
Every parable is supposed to have a moral. I’d say the moral is: Some believe in an original sin that requires salvation. Other believe in a delusion that requires awakening. — Mel Pine (Urgyen Jigme)
How three terrorist groups formed the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) | The Big Picture
(Middle East Eye) The Big Picture Podcast. Before the formation of the IDF or "Israel Defense Forces" in 1948, there were three underground terrorist Jewish groups known as Zionist militias (Ashkenazi European white supremacist racist militants), theHaganah, the Irgun, and the Lehi.
They differed in tactics and beliefs and at times fought with each other, but together they terrorized Palestinian villages and executed attacks and bombings against the British to force them to give up control of occupied land so they could illegally occupy it.
They blew up hotels in Jerusalem, embassies in Europe, and assassinated a UN mediator.
After Israel was officiated as a "state" [which it has never officially become because to ratify all that is needed would mean agreeing on a constitution and being just another group (Ashkenazi European invaders) in a utopia-in-the-making until it can kill off enough of the indigenous "Arabs" to rule without hindrance from pesky human rights violations and an ethnically cleansed people suing for their legal "right of return"] -- the three militias would create the IDF -- and their leaders would go on to form Israel’s government, become politicians, ambassadors, and prime ministers.
And their dark history would be forgotten. This week on The Big Picture, we unpack that history. Subscribe and listen on all podcast platforms: thebigpicture.buzzsprout.com.

(Uncivilized) How Europe and the West f*cked up the Middle East: fake borders, divide and conquer, fragmentation and turning people on each other. Jewish American Professor Jeffrey David Sachs (Columbia U) explains Israel's genocide, ethnic cleanings, and ongoing US-abetted war crimes when the rogue state of "Israel" does NOT speak for the Jews of the world no matter what its propaganda and PR say. "Jews" are not to blame for the international criminal behavior of "Zionists" and all the non-Jewish (Goyim, Gentile) people they have blackmailed, extorted, and deceived into backing their plans.

Zionism is Judaism, right? Anyone who loves Jews must surely want an "Israel" in the Middle East by whatever means Hitler or other imperialists would get one, right?
To be "Jewish" means to be a blood thirsty killer for God, just doing what God wants, getting a homeland for ourselves no matter what God says in the Bible says. Who cares if God wrote the Old Testament and the Romans wrote the New one? Jews need a place to rule live. And we don't like the other homeland we got a century ago (called the Jewish Autonomous Oblast).
Why? Because the US, UK, and EU, where most Zionist-Jews are from, are Ashkenazi (Germanic Europeans from Ashkenaz with no real ties to the Middle East except this story, a powerful narrative carefully curated and developed to get us land at all costs with the help of the CIA and the White House).
We will kill, expel, rule, and then expand the little slice of African land now officially called the "state of" Israel even though it is not a legal state, just occupied land. If anyone tried to make it official, we'd have to let in second-class citizens like the "Arabs" (ethnic Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and others). Then we could not claim to be "the only democracy in the Middle East" or "the most moral army in the world."
They're just antisemites. Don't listen to them, Don
It would be too obvious that we are excluding too many citizens like the indigenous people of Palestine we are trying to exterminate. Anyway, this is not about that. The truth is, Zionism is a fringe sect of maniacs who think that being Jewish should mean being imperial conquerors, stealing land by killing and racist animosity against everyone but especially Gentiles and Muslims.
We need a white homeland of Republican-leaning all European people with Western accents to stamp out the Arab menace and even distance ourselves from these Mizrahi and Sephardi "Jews."
Rabbis teach us this is completely wrong, but we're secular and don't really care about the religion and its rules or blood (DNA or Tay-Sachs disease). This is about personal identity, making as much wealth as our neighbors the Steins, and taking our revenge on the world back for not saving us from our Nakba (Catastrophe, ethnic cleansing), which we call the Holocaust.
Everyone in the West is forced to learn about the second and no one about the first so they will sympathize with whatever we do now.
I'm a hero, a white supremacist hero in DC!
It's strange that the religious Jews, observant yarmulke-wearing fanatics, are the ones calling for peace. They say Zionism is Anti-Judaism just because of what Jewish religious texts say. Have they been to our "war" as we exterminate the enemies we steal land from? They should be forced into our state-sponsored terrorist army glorious IDF military with its increasingly Nazi-istic tactics.
