True power requires trauma: Pharaohs

(Prof Jiang Media) Why true power requires trauma - Prof. Jiang Xueqin

Why elite scandals never change anything: Prof. Jiang Xueqin

I blackmail. I don't get got. Cohen taught me.

(Prof Jiang Media) Jan. 8, 2026: Modern societies tend to believe that exposure brings accountability — that when scandals surface, power is finally put at risk.

In this lecture, Jiang Xueqin questions this belief. By examining history, political systems, and recurring patterns of elite behavior, Prof. Xueqin argues that scandals rarely dismantle power structures. More often, they reinforce them.

We work for Zionist Israel and get many perks.

Public outrage creates the illusion of justice, while institutions quietly contain the damage, shield their core interests [redact names of powerful participants in crimes], and continue unchanged.

Through a series of high-profile case studies, this discussion explores why exposure so often fails to generate real reform, why moral anger dissipates without consequence, and why modern societies repeatedly confuse visibility with accountability [and there is no real transparency].

What appears to be a moment of truth, Prof. Xueqin suggests, may instead function as a diversion — shifting attention away from structural power toward spectacle.

This video investigates how elite systems endure scandal, why genuine accountability remains structurally elusive, and why societies continue to misplace faith in exposure as a corrective force.

God is the Devil, says the Christian Bible

I found every verse that proves God is the Devil so you don’t have to

The older Ethiopian Bible is better than the KJV.

(MorgueOfficial) Premiered Sept. 20, 2025: I’m going to prove that the deity Christians call God is actually the Devil. How? Let's look at PROOF in the Bible itself -- not the cherrypicked verses they spoon feed us on Sunday mornings. I mean the raw, uncut, crazy parts they hope we never open to. And guess what? I’m not the first person to notice. The Gnostics knew it. Some of the first Christians read these very same verses and said, "Yeah, this ‘God’ is totally evil."

The God: "Hey, Bich, don't touch that fruit!"

(BIBLE STORY) Sept. 30, 2024: What if everything we thought we knew about God and the Bible is wrong?

This video dives deeply into the ancient Nag Hammadi texts and diverse Gnostic beliefs that the creator of our world isn’t the loving God we’ve been taught to worship but rather the Demiurge—a false jealous god (Yaldabaoth?) who seeks to control and keep us in ignorance.

With hidden wisdom and forgotten scriptures, we explore how the Gnostics saw the material world as a prison and the serpent in Eden as a liberator offering forbidden knowledge.

Discover the radical ideas that challenge mainstream religion, revealing that true salvation may rest in breaking free from that Demiurge's control.

From wise Sophia’s role as the guide to enlightenment to the real meaning behind Jesus’ teachings, this video questions everything. Ready to explore the truth that’s been buried for centuries? Hit play and behold!

How would Jesus kill an animal? Was Jesus vegan?

(Bananiac) Christspiracy | Was Jesus Christ Vegan?

Heated debate between filmmaker and theologian

(PLANT BASED NEWS) Nov. 5, 2024: 🎥 Video originally from @theellenfisherpodcast. Watch the full episode: Was Jesus Actually a Vegan? DEBATE: C... Read more: ellenfisher.com/podcasts...

In this thought-provoking conversation, Kam Waters, co-creator of the documentary Christspiracy, joins Tony Jones from The Reverend Hunter Podcast to debate a fascinating question: Was Jesus a vegan? Kam’s documentary, Christspiracy, follows his personal journey as a devout Christian exploring the ethics of killing and consuming animals as if they were not living, feeling beings and claiming God is to blame for telling them to do it. Raised in the Bible Belt, Kam grew up Christian but began questioning the teachings on animal ethics, sparking a worldwide quest to find answers. In the film, he interviews theologians, archeologists, Christian farmers, and others to explore the question, "Is there a spiritual way to kill an animal?"

Tony Jones, a theologian, writer, and avid murderer of animals who calls himself a hunter, enters the discussion with a different perspective. As the author of The God of Wild Places: Rediscovering the Divine in the Untamed Outdoors, Tony believes that hunting down and butchering animals for blood and food is a primal religious practice God likes that has been lost in modern times. Teaching at Fuller Theological Seminary and living in Minnesota with his family, Tony challenges the Christspiracy team’s views, arguing that humans have a God-given right, if not an obligation, to use animals for sustenance.

In this debate, the two passionate men tackle challenging questions: Did God place animals on Earth for humans to kill and eat, becoming themselves like wild beasts who tear others apart? What does "dominion [stewardship] over the animals" truly mean? And could Jesus have advocated for compassion towards all living things and all animals, or is eating them without restraint part of our divine inheritance?

How would Jesus kill and butcher an animal, anal electrocution? Would he smite it, cut its neck with a blood-soaked knife as it gurgled and tried to scream? Use a stun gun first? Have a rabbi next to him to make sure the lamb baby he led to slaughter was killed all "kosher" like? (No, of course Jesus/Issa wouldn't do that kind of stuff! He was an ethical vegetarian. Hell-bound humans do that kind of stuff...and was it the greedy, fearful, deluded priests who led them to do it?)

Slaughterhouse (Lovis Corinth Im Schlachthaus)

Los Angeles Animal Save and Animal Alliance Network are holding a screening of the amazing breakthrough fill Christspiracy -- exposing the biggest coverup in 2,000 years of history. Joaquin Phoenix says it "exposes unforgiving truths."

What if the reason the world eats so much slaughtered meat (hundreds of billions of animals murdered a year) is the priests?

The Western spiritual tradition is founded on the qualities of kindness and compassion towards animals it ignores. Buddhists were not spared this madness: Most Buddhists today think it's okay to eat an animal that was not killed for them in specific (just in general, dead there in the market to and retroactively killed for them when they pay the butcher for having slaughtered and butchered it).

We love to kill, sacrifice, for our Lord.

Its titular head was all-kind, a-forgiving, and called on his followers to do the same. But the priests got greedy, from Judaism to Christian, ancient Greek paganism to ancient Hinduism, it was far more profitable to have people donate sacrificial animals to them, which they slaughtered (kosher, pareve, halal, etc.) in some "spiritual" way then sell them back to followers for feasts. Their gods demanded animal sacrifice. They made it holy and completely fine, as if unfeeling animals were fine to kill, like mowing down insentient blades of grass.

Even the grass is sentient. How much more the conscious, communicative animals all around us?

Gnostic story of Jesus: What we were never told

(Occulys) Dec. 3, 2024: Who really was "Jesus" (Issa, Messiah/Maitreya, Isa, Ieoeus, Y'shua Ben Yusuf, Joshua, Son of Zeus, Emmanuel)? To most, he’s the savior who died (killed by temple Jews or Roman pagans) for humanity’s sins. But to the Gnostics, an ancient group of mystical Christians, Jesus wasn’t here to atone for sin. He was here to reveal a mind-blowing truth about the world and our place in it.

[See further the amazing work of Bible scholars like Dr. Elaine Pagels, Dr. Bart Ehrman, Dr. Francesca change-your-last-name-already Scrvyysthhyllk, and the possibly demonically-possessed but in any case genius classicist and Ancient Greek scholar Dr. DC Ammon Hillman because, sadly, the scholars who try to reveal the truth of biblical matters all get condemned as madmen, heretics, and Satanists for not telling mainstream Christians what they want to hear but what the textual evidence actually shows. What Christians accept on blind faith and find most comforting to their cultural way of thinking is dangerously wrong, but try to tell them that. It comforts them to rest on delusion, but who can say anything?]

From the Garden of Gethsemane to the Last Supper and the resurrection, this video explores how Gnostics saw Jesus as a cosmic teacher, a liberator of the soul, and the key to awakening the divine spark within us.

How life on Earth began, according to science

David Nield, ScienceAlert via msn.com, 3/4/24; Skeptic Central, Wisdom Quarterly

In the beginning, the Vesicle Blob. Like it or lump it, but thou shalt not question it (ScienceAlert)

.

We may finally know how the first cells on Earth formed

In the beginning, rebirth ad infinitum.

The story of how life started on Earth [called the Agganna Sutra in Buddhism and Genesis or the Garden of Eden in the Abrahamic faiths] is one that scientists are eager to learn.

Researchers may have uncovered an important detail in the plot of Chapter One: an explanation of how bubbles of fat came to form the membranes of the very first cells.

A key part of the new findings, made by a team from The Scripps Research Institute in California, is that a chemical process called phosphorylation may have happened earlier than previously thought.

This process adds groups of atoms that include phosphorus to a molecule, bringing extra functions with it -- functions that can turn spherical collections of fats called protocells into more advanced versions of themselves, able to be more versatile, stable, and chemically active.

• 

  Diagram of life beginning on Earth

  We howl with laughter at religion for believing in fairytales but bow in solemn obedience to the inerrant utterances of white lab coat-clad priests in their lab-temples doing their lab stuff and coming out with papers about it. The sacred word, peer reviewed by fellow priests, spins a yarn and we all say, "Well, that's the way it has to be because Science don't make no junk." The figurative and metaphorical language a visionary (rishi) like the Buddha, Mahavira, Shankara, Moses, or Mohammed might have used, hah, that's of no use to us. It's fine if we want to throw out ancient written texts for new, but to ignore that Science tries to get away with explaining the universe by saying, "If you allow us just one unexplained miracle, the Big Bang, we can explain everything after that" is pitiful. Then anything observed as happening now is used to say, "This must have been what happened the first time, originating from nothing to everything we see now with no miracle at all and no anything before the something we now live and enjoy." Go on, Science, what else happened?

These protocells are widely thought to have been vital building blocks for biochemistry more than 3.5 billion years ago, perhaps emerging from hot springs under the ocean along the way to the evolution of more complex biological structures.

• 

  WTH? Science claims to know how life started?

  Science observer Lloyd Pye says we have examples of microevolution but not a single example of macroevolution. Along with Michael "The Forbidden Archeologist" Cremo we are getting quite an alternative view to world history and biological origins. Yet, no one notices how Science behaves like storytellers around the campfire, making "reasonable" speculations from data like shamans spinning origin myths based on whatever is at hand to comment on? A vat of skepticism is in order and perhaps an eyeroll. Was it a good idea to trade in one set of priests for another? "God is dead" was a really good slogan if people understood what it meant, so how about we launch, "Data interpreters, get stuffed"? The first laments the loss of a guide, the latter echoes the Who's "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" lyric. To think we're going to base our lives on what some blanketyblank opines from an ivory tower, as we grovel before the feet of impersonal objectivity and total rationality, unquestioned assumptions and men with mental defilements in charge of what we are allowed to believe? It's untenable.

Ehem, our sacred garments are now blue

"At some point, we all wonder where we came from," says chemist Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy, from The Scripps Research Institute. "This finding helps us better understand the chemical environments of early Earth so we can uncover the origins of life and how life can evolve on early Earth."

• Scripps Research scientists reveal how first cells could have formed on Earth (Scripps Research)

Krishnamurthy and his colleagues hypothesized that because the process is so widespread in the body's biological functions, phosphorylation ought to have been involved in early stages of protocell formation.

Replicating conditions likely to match Earth's early days in the lab, the team combined chemicals such as fatty acids and glycerol to try and create more complex vesicles -- bubble-like structures similar to protocells that facilitate cellular processes.

With some tweaking of temperature and acidity, the researchers were able to get the chemical reactions they were looking for, proving that phosphorylation may have been at work as protocells developed in the primordial ooze.

  Agganna Sutra and science

  The "Discourse on Beginnings" (Aggañña Sutta, DN 27) is neither satire nor parody, claims author Dr. Sugunasiri, Ph.D., as viewed by Buddhist scholars. Drawing on cosmology, Darwinism, psychology, and linguistics, this sutra paints a historically and scientifically accurate picture of Devolution and Evolution, going beyond the Big Bang. Sentient beings emerge with defilements, such as passion and craving, physically nourished with greater and greater difficulty by devolving plant life. Compatible with Western science, Dr. S, had an insight, a breakthrough in his understanding of this origin myth. What if the "beings" that first came to this earth, the âbhassara brahmas (or "supremos," a class of devas, lit. "shining ones") are understood to be PHOTONS? Why? This is true if we take the term âbhassara in its literal etymological sense of "hither-come-shining-arrow," described as "self-luminous" and "moving through the air" (akasha, "space"), "glorious" (streaming), "feeding on delight," where they remain for a very long time, "mind-made" (spontaneous), floating above and around earth before the appearance of moon and sun, before night and day. However, as accurate as this picture may be, the Buddha’s point is that knowledge of Dhamma overrides it all, explaining the title [of Dr. S's book]. More

"The vesicles were able to transition from a fatty acid environment to a phospholipid environment during our experiments, suggesting a similar chemical environment could have existed four billion years ago," says chemist Sunil Pulletikurti, from The Scripps Research Institute.

The team describes it as a "plausible pathway" for the creation of phospholipids, the more complex type of vesicle membrane. However, there's lots more study to do before we can be sure about how life came to be on Earth, [science's favorite sentence].

Looking back billions of years isn't easy, of course, but scientists continue to make discoveries...

• [Do they, with their time machines or mystic powers? They see something now and project it back, neither understanding what they're seeing nor gaining evidence for what actually happened then.]

[And these "discoveries" are] about what happened right after Earth formed, and it all plays into our investigations into life on other planets, too.

• [Q: Oh, are we now allowed to believe in life on other planets, according to our gatekeepers? A: "It's out there, it just doesn't come here and has never been here in any way whatsoever" is the official word. So obey and repeat this mantra until told otherwise, and never mind those pesky tardigrades on the moon.]

"It's exciting to uncover how early chemistries may have transitioned to allow for life on Earth," says biophysicist Ashok Deniz, from The Scripps Research Institute.

"Our findings also hint at a wealth of intriguing physics that may have played key functional roles along the way to modern cells."
