How to Murder 100 Million People and Come out Smelling of Roses
September 05, 2025

Some people call the Covid scam the greatest crime in history. But I beg to differ. I think the two events that steal the crown are the First and Second World Wars, both of them entirely unnecessary, both of them funded and orchestrated by the same kind of people responsible for the fake pandemic and all the deaths and injuries from those safe and effective vaccines.

The First World War claimed an estimated 15 to 22 million lives, with another 23 million wounded. The Second World War claimed an estimated 70 to 85 million deaths, with another 15 to 25 million wounded. I got these figures from Wikipedia, so they may not be accurate. But I think we can agree that the two World Wars were the most devastating events in history, not only in terms of lives lost or bodies maimed, but also in terms of the social upheavals (marriages destroyed, families torn apart, communities dispersed, borders reshaped, livelihoods disrupted, psyches fractured) and the physical damage caused to beloved homes and irreplaceable architectural heritage.

Given that all this carnage was planned, arranged and successfully executed by a small group of identifiable conspirators - and it was - the question that naturally arises is: how did They get away with it?

Or, to put it another way: if you had been part of the elite circle responsible for massacring and dismembering millions and millions of innocent people, what measures would you have taken to persuade the survivors that this bloodbath was in fact a jolly good thing for which we should all be quietly grateful?

The reason I ask is a fascinating book I’m reading called Two World Wars And Hitler: Who Was Responsible? by Jim Macgregor and John O’Dowd. It convincingly demonstrates that the approved narrative on the world wars and their origins is a pack of lies. No, they weren’t started by nasty Germans with silly moustaches. They were orchestrated by a cabal of English and American financiers, aristocrats, businessmen and politicians who weren’t remotely bothered by the millions of lives that would be lost or the lasting damage that would be done. All this elite secret society cared about was destroying Germany (and, to a lesser extent, Russia) which it saw as economic threats - and then reaping the profits and exploiting the geopolitical gains once the carnage was over.

This isn’t exactly news by the way. It follows on from the work of Carol Quigley, Anthony Sutton, Guido Preparata and, before them, of historians such as the American Harry Elmer Barnes. In his 1926 book The Genesis of the War, Barnes became one of the first openly to question the ‘Germany bad’ narrative and poured scorn on the ‘court history’ of the mostly Oxford-based British academics claiming otherwise.

Barnes wrote:

There is no evidence that any responsible element in Germany in 1914 desired a world war, and the Kaiser worked harder than any other European statesman during the crisis to avert a general European conflagration.

But if this is really the case, how come so few of us are aware of it?

Mainly because the people and institutions who might have told us were already bought and paid for.

One of the key reasons for the success of this secret society - known in the early days as the Milner Group, after one of its more assiduous members, Alfred (later Lord) Milner - was that it controlled the financial system, the media and academe.

If it wanted a politician put in his place or needed the public whipped up into a frenzy on a particular issue, it could rely on papers like the Times (whose editor for 30 years, Geoffrey Dawson, was a close friend of Milner’s) to summon up a thundering editorial.

If it needed any figures of influence to be bribed it could rely on the bottomless pockets of the sympathetic Lord Rothschild (“Natty” to his friends) and his various banking fiefdoms in London and New York.

If it required royal support, it could call on first on the dissolute and profligate debauchee Edward VII (aka ‘Bertie’) and later on his son George V, both of them enthusiastic members of the club.

And when it needed tame stenographers to put a favourable gloss on all these shenanigans, it could call on the so-called ‘court historians’. These were the historians who, often in return for an Oxford professorship guaranteed to burnish their prestige and the virtual certainty of handsome book sales, were happy to prostitute themselves by promoting the official line and never asking awkward questions.

Any bestselling historian you’ve heard of, especially if he has ever held an Oxford chair, is almost certainly a ‘court historian.’

As Macgregor and O’Dowd write:

“It is a sad indictment of many academic historians today that they are all too accepting of the mainstream history narrative [….] Dependent for their salaries, research funding and future careers, the vast majority toe the official line. Those few who deviate from the carefully prepared ‘court history’ script are dismissed, deemed unemployable elsewhere in academia, and their careers and livelihoods effectively ruined.”

So this was the state of Britain - and the US: at the higher levels, they were joined at the hip - in the early Twentieth century. Does it sound or look vaguely familiar? It should do for the world we inhabit now is run by the same kind of people, with the same world domination agenda, using the same social programming/brainwashing techniques.

Once you are familiar with these techniques it becomes much easier to spot them retrospectively. For example, one of the classic tricks in the run up to a pre-planned war is to persuade the populace that war is something that they want and need - or that it is, at the very least, inevitable. The last thing you want is the mass of ‘public opinion’ going: “Wait a second. What’s going on here?? We didn’t ask for any of this.”

Luckily, public opinion is easily malleable. We got a taste of this recently during the Ukraine/Russia conflict, when opinion formers started pronouncing Kiev “Kyiv”, when a coke-snorting, playing-the-piano-with-his-penis comedian with only one green t-shirt in his wardrobe was suddenly being feted in Westminster and in all the newspapers as the world’s most heroic and principled leader, when villagers and trendy vicars who couldn’t place Ukraine on a map suddenly took it on themselves to attach blue and yellow flags to their homes and spires.

Here the mind control experts were employing techniques honed in their preparations for the First World War. Their big challenge in the run-up to August 1914 was that the British people had no particular beef with the Germans. Germany was seen as stolid but civilised, sensible and a nice place to go for your spa treatment. It was the French who were our natural enemies.

But little by little from the early 1900s onward, the British were persuaded by their bent politicians and media that Germany was their true enemy. Dire warnings were issued about the expansion of the German navy (which in reality was only enlarging itself because it could see what was coming); trivial incidents such as the 1911 “Morocco Crisis”, when a tiny German gunboat tried making a feeble protest against provocative Allied manoeuvring in supposedly neutral Morocco, were blown up by the newspapers as acts of inexcusable belligerence. [See also: the ‘Gulf of Tonkin incident’, which the Americans faked as their pretext for starting the Vietnam War]. By the time Britain declared war in August 1914, the populace had been worked up into such a pitch of Germanophobia that furious mobs roamed the streets in search of German targets to destroy, be they Bechstein pianos or, even less excusably, dachshund pets, which in a number of recorded incidents were stoned or beaten to death.

Even then, though, killing their Anglo-Saxon brethren did not come naturally to either side. This was most famously illustrated by the Christmas Truce of 1914 when tens of thousands of German and British troops at points along the Front met in No Man’s Land to exchange cigarettes, drink and souvenirs.

The scene is described here. It’s interesting to note that in most of the contemporary accounts quoted, it appears to have been the Germans who initiated the truce.

“It was a beautiful moonlit night, frost on the ground, white everywhere,” reported Private Albert Moren of the Second Queen’s Regiment. “About seven or eight in the evening there was a lot of commotion in the German trenches and there were these lights – I don’t know what they were.

“And then they sang ‘Silent Night’ – ‘Stille Nacht’. I shall never forget it; it was one of the highlights of my life. What a beautiful tune.”

The image of Germans lighting candles in their trenches and the sounds of their gentle singing drifting across the killing fields of No Man’s Land has become iconic.

Along the line, German soldiers held up white flags, or messages asking the Tommies facing them not to shoot. Men that had been engaged in desperate fighting days or even hours before had begun to feel illuminated by the Christmas spirit.

Soon they were singing together, trading jokes and the odd jovial insult or two.

Marmaduke Walkinton of the London Regiment described the scene: “A German said, ‘Tomorrow you no shoot, we no shoot.’ And the morning came, and we didn’t shoot, and they didn’t shoot.

“So then we began to pop our heads over the side and jump down quickly in case they shot but they didn’t. And then we saw a German standing up, waving his arms, and we didn’t shoot, and so it gradually grew.”

In at least one sector, there was also an impromptu game of football.

“Suddenly a Tommy came with a football, kicking already and making fun, and then began a football match,” wrote Lieutenant Johannes Niemann of the 133rd Saxon Infantry Regiment. “We marked the goals with our caps. Teams were quickly established for a match on the frozen mud, and the Fritzes beat the Tommies 3-2.”

Perhaps it won’t at all surprise you to learn that The Powers That Be weren’t remotely happy with this. They wanted slaughter not mutual love and understanding. Though no punishments were handed down for this unsanctioned fraternisation, measures were enforced to ensure it never happened again. First, the troops were moved to different sections of the line, to reduce the likelihood of their feeling residual kinship with the enemy units posted opposite. Secondly, casualty records across the front were regularly scrutinised so that senior officers could spot mini cease fires.

If one was detected, raids and patrols would be organised to foster the correct “fighting spirit” in troops.

It’s probably worth my reiterating the point that under most circumstances, people - even young men of ‘fighting age’ - would rather have a friendly chat than kill one another. To get them to kill requires relentless conditioning. And that conditioning is not an organic thing that arises from natural circumstances. It has to be directed from above.

Which isn’t, of course, the way we’re taught about war at school. Especially not about the First and Second World Wars which are invariably sold to us as examples of ‘just wars’ which ennobled all those who fought on the ‘right’ side in them.

At my fairly typical English public school, Malvern, this celebration of the glorious dead reached its apotheosis in the annual Remembrance Sunday service, which was taken more seriously than any other event in the school calendar. The school Corps lined up in military formation in front of the college war memorial (St George). A two minute’s silence was observed for the school’s fallen (462 in the First War; 249 in the Second). The Last Post was blown by a bugler from the rooftops. It was all very solemn and quite moving. In my day there were still plenty of Old Boys around who had served in the war, and whom you could see standing stiffly in their British Warms blinking back their tears at memories of the friends they had lost in combat.

What I hadn’t realised at the time is that this ceremonial was and is all part of the conditioning process. Sure we were honouring the dead. But we were also being brainwashed with a number of subliminal messages which I now realise were not just false but dangerous.

I think, for example, of how I would find it impossible to sing, without a catch in my voice, those lines from that classic Remembrance Day hymn, I Vow To Thee My Country. It’s sung to one of the most poignant and moving tunes in the English hymnal, taken from the Jupiter movement of Gustav Holst’s Planets Suite.

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

But wait. What is really going on here?

Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that the author of those lines was a senior British diplomat named Sir Cecil Spring Rice. Shortly before the war, Rice was posted to Washington as Ambassador to the US, his primary mission being to persuade Woodrow Wilson’s administration to abandon its position of neutrality and take sides against Germany. Rice would never have got the job unless he had been entirely sympathetic to the Milner group’s aims.

So here we have an example of one of the (albeit junior) architects of the First World War later being enlisted - a bit like the capable Mr Wolf in Pulp Fiction - to help with the clean up operation. Operation Turd Polish, as it really ought to have been known.

The commission might have gone like this: “Cecil, old boy. D’ye remember that splendid little poem you wrote just before the war, Urbs Dei, about what a jolly marvellous thing it is when a chap dies for his country? We wondered whether you could spruce it up to make it a kind of national anthem for the Fallen. Maybe if you lost some of the ‘thunder of the guns’ stuff in the first verse - still a bit raw, that - and made it a bit more vague and poetic. What we’re after is a proper tearjerker, which chokes you up every time you hear it. But also something that conveys the important message that your country’s call demands unquestioning obedience and that if you do end up getting the chop, well it’s no bad thing because of love, sacrifice, being tested, and all that.”

No. I know it didn’t really happen quite as I’ve described. But I hope you will forgive my poetic licence in pursuit of my broader point, viz: one of the chaps whose job it was to ensure that thousands and thousands more young men (in this case American volunteers) were fed into the meat grinder also wrote the anthem explaining how totally marvellous and noble it was to die in this way.

I’m similarly sceptical of the oft-quoted lines from Lawrence Binyon’s For The Fallen.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Yes, of course, it’s comforting to think of the war dead being frozen in a state of eternal youth andbeing perpetually memorialised as a kind of perk for having had their lives cut so brutally short. But though I’ve no doubt Binyon’s sentiments are sincere and heartfelt, they also constitute the most spectacular propaganda win for people who actually caused all those premature deaths.

As Horace well knew when he wrote the sarcastic lines “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori” (which he only survived to write because he’d taken the sensible decision to run away at the Battle of Philippi), dying for your country has nothing to recommend it.

What both Rice’s and Binyon’s verses serve to do is gloss over this fact with a layer of slightly mawkish sentiment. Yes, it’s a lovely thought, and perhaps a way of dealing with loss by presenting sacrificial death as a kind of victory. But it’s also a massive ducking of the issue. All these men, in fact, died for nothing. And anything that distracts from that fact is doing them no favours - but is participating in the cover up.

Another example of this collective cover up by the cultural Establishment are those neat graveyards, lovely maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, with their uniform headstones in Portland stone. These were devised by committees of the great and the good, including three of the most eminent architects of the day Sir Herbert Baker, Sir Reginald Blomfield and Sir Edwin Lutyens, with Rudyard Kipling as literary adviser and Gertrude Jekyll as garden designer.

Immaculate, dignified, striking, enduring: yes. But also yet another element in the ongoing, massive and all-encompassing snow job operation to erase from the world any sense that those wars might have been a criminal act planned by the very class of people who dreamed up all those magnificent memorials (the Menin Gate, etc) and picturesque cemeteries.

Why do I know about the Menin Gate, even though I’ve never been there? Because it’s one of the myriad aspects of the First World War which has been thrust relentlessly into our consciousness in the years since. For any half-way educated European certainly, the First World War has been inescapable.

Here are some of the various ways in which the First World War has entrenched itself in my own thoughts over the years: thrilling to the memoirs of Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves; grinding in school English classes through the eloquent misery of the War Poets, few of whom survived; not knowing much about the 60s anti-war musical Oh What A Lovely War! except that it was a Thing and had something to do with Joan Littlewood; blood-bathing in the Götterdämmerung war porn of Ernst Junger’s Storm of Steel; feeling very melancholy after exposure to RC Sheriff’s Journey’s End and again by its Royal Flying Corps movie version Aces High; being frustrated by the very sketchy details of Jay Gatsby’s mysterious war service past; “Lions led by donkeys”; knowing that the survival time of a second lieutenant on the first day of the Somme was shorter than a May fly’s; meeting Harry Patch, the machine gun battalion veteran who outlived them all; never getting round to reading All Quiet On The Western Front for fear of being too depressed, especially in the scene where they bayonet one another; putting on a bad Australian accent to recite the ‘How fast can you run?’ ‘As fast as a leopard’ lines from Gallipoli; exploring the impressive reconstruction of the trench section once captured by a young Lieutenant Rommel in what is now Slovenia; getting cross with Jon Snow, the silly leftist news presenter, for wearing a white poppy instead of a red one; feeling sorry for the brave horses in War Horse; laughing at the slug-balancing act in Blackadder Goes Forth; spotting anachronistic black people about to go over the top in Sam Mendes’s 1917; trying to track down poppies at the last minute for various Remembrance Days; recommending my father in law to go to see Days of Glory - about North African units fighting for the French - and him having accidentally gone to see the comedy Blades of Glory by mistake; relishing the fantastically cynical, horribly realistic Royal Flying Corps quartet of novels (Goshawk Squadron, etc) by Derek Robinson; watching various politicians on the TV news laying wreaths at the Cenotaph memorial in Whitehall; finally getting round to seeing Kirk Douglas in Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory; trying on my military re-enactor brother Dick’s French infantryman’s horizon blue uniform, including the Casque Adrian helmet; feeling rather sad that Alain-Fournier, author of one of my favourite novels, hadn’t survived to write any more because he was killed in the trenches…

For something none of us ever experienced, the First World War has taken up an awful lot of our collective headspace. You could argue that this is no more than the fallen deserve - and that is certainly what we have been trained to think. But I now wonder whether it hasn’t also been a case of what the CIA calls ‘flooding the zone’: overwhelming the target audience with so much disparate information that they are rendered incapable of processing it.

What I notice about all the examples I’ve given above - whether they invite us to focus on the ugly details of trench warfare or the exhilaration of survival or the sense of futility and waste or the incompetence of the commanders or the insufficient reverence of public figures or military tactics, uniforms and equipment - is that not one of them, not a single one of them, vouchsafes the only information that really matters.

The First World War (the Second too) was a blood sacrifice staged by our Satanic elites to kill as many of us possible while increasing their world domination. And the supposed goodies - the ‘Allies’ - were in fact the baddies.

I don’t remember being told that in any of my school history classes. Do you?

What I do remember quite clearly, though, is how puzzled I was when first exposed to the official narrative on “How the First World War started.”

The reason the flower of England’s youth were sent in wave after wave to drown in mud, get mowed down by machine guns or blown to smithereens by shells was that a student from a far-off Central European country that no one gave a toss about had assassinated some Archduke and his wife in a place called Sarajevo.

Sorry? Excuse me? Nearly a million of my countrymen were sent to die because of that?

It made no sense to me when I first heard it, around the age of 13. I suspect I probably wasn’t the only child to have that initial gut-reaction. That would explain why the English school curriculum at the time spent so many hours of history classes on the First and Second World origins narrative: to grind all that scepticism out of you, and wear you down to the point where you’re like: “Yeah, whatever. All right. I surrender. The Germans started it all, for reasons I still don’t quite understand. We were the goodies. These were just wars. Can we move onto another subject, now?”

Anyway, I think there are some useful lessons we can learn from all this. Here are some of them.

The People Who Run The World Are NOT Incompetent

They’d love you to believe otherwise. That’s why They gave you “Hanlon’s Razor”, the apocryphal aphorism that urges “Never attribute to malice that which adequately explained by stupidity.”

But conjuring two World Wars out of nothing is no mean feat. And subsequently persuading the world that they were just, necessary and the other side’s fault must surely earn our grudging respect as an achievement of diabolical genius.

Yes, Everything Really Is A Conspiracy

Usual disclaimers apply - but essentially: Yes. If it’s in ‘the news’ it’s probably a psyop.

The ‘purple-pilled’ get very upset when you tell them this. Consider the recent furore in Awake circles over the vexed question of whether ‘Lucy Connolly’ was a crisis actor/intelligence services operative or just an ordinary mum who happened to have been unfairly banged up in prison for an unfortunate tweet.

“Not everything is a conspiracy,” the “She’s just a lovely, ordinary mum” faction crossly insisted. They accused the “She’s a spook” camp of being divisive and paranoid and over-imaginative.

But there’s a problem with this ‘divisive and paranoid’ slur. In order for it carry weight it would have to be demonstrably the case that conspiracies by malign elites against the people are rare, indeed exceptional. All the evidence shows, however, that such conspiracies are in fact the norm.

What all the evidence also shows is that the elites’ primary control mechanism is collective mind manipulation, so that ordinary people are continually fooled into believing stuff that isn’t true. Stuff like, say, “It was the Germans who started the two World Wars but it’s OK. The good guys won.”

To persuade the public of such untruths, against all evidence, required devilish ingenuity, massive resources and deception on an almost unimaginable scale.

Are we now supposed to believe that once the two wars were over, the people responsible suddenly decided: “Well that’s all our naughtiness worked out of our system. We’re going to behave nicely from now on. No more lies; no more killing; no more psyops…”?

Politicians were never on our side

There’s a widespread delusion - call it the “Where are the titans of yesteryear?” fallacy - that if only we had better politicians, like the selfless, principled grandees from the good old days, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in.

This delusion is the product of bad historians and short memories. Look at the various MPs in the Conservative and Liberal governments in the run up to World War I, for example, and you discover they fit into two basic categories: stupid and evil.

The majority were the stupid ones had no idea whatsoever that a tiny, elite, Anglo-American secret society was pushing their country into a war no ordinary person wanted or needed. So were useless when it came to preventing it.

The minority were the evil ones (such as Sir Edward Grey, Herbert Asquith and Winston Churchill) who were more or less fully aware that they were doing the bidding of the secret society. But they didn’t mind one bit, either because they shared its aims, or because they were going to be rewarded for it, or both. So they lied, cheated, dissembled, faked, postured and backstabbed till they effected their controllers’ desired outcome.

That was early 1900s. Nothing has changed since.

If You Know Their Name, They Are In The Game

One of the great disappointments when you look into true history, as opposed to fake history, is realising how thoroughly compromised were most of the people you used to admire. Churchill is the obvious example. But there are plenty of others.

Take the author John Buchan. His The Thirty-Nine Steps used to be one of my favourite adventure yarns. But with hindsight that book is the purest Milner group propaganda. The hero, Richard Hannay, a veteran of the ugly South African wars (in which the British invented the concentration camp) uncovers on the eve of the war a dastardly plot by an evil German spy network which has penetrated deep into the British Establishment. Buchan, who had been Milner’s private secretary in South Africa, was employed during the war to produce a propaganda magazine called Nelson’s History of the War dispensing fake history.

I have my doubts too about the author of another classic novel of that period, The Riddle of the Sands. Erskine Childers was an upper class Irishman and fanatical British imperialist who served in the Boer War, but who later turned against the Empire and was shot by firing squad for having supplied guns to the Republican rebels during the Easter Rising. But there’s something deeply suspicious about the plot of The Riddle of the Sands in which two English sailors exploring the shallow waters, mudflats and secret inlets of the Frisian Islands accidentally stumble upon an imminent seaborne invasion of Britain by a concealed fleet of German tugs and barges.

The book was published in 1903: eleven years before the outbreak of war, at a time when almost no one - apart from the Milner Group conspirators - saw Germany as a threat. Childers himself described it as “a story written with a purpose” written from “a patriot’s natural sense of duty.” It clearly did the trick because it was frequently cited by Churchill an excuse to build up British naval power. But who planted the plot idea in Childers’ head?

All ‘Freedom’ Movements Are Co-Opted

There’s a good example in Paul Cudenec’s superb essay Wars, Resets and the Global Criminocracy.

During the First World War, one of the groups wheeled out to support the criminocratic agenda was a wing of the Suffragette movement.

Apparently in return for agreeing to stop their militant activities, Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst were handed a government grant.

Emmeline declared her support for the war effort and began to demand military conscription for British men, while Christabel Pankhurst demanded the “internment of all people of enemy race, men and women, young and old, found on these shores”. [15]

And the suffragettes were among those women who handed white feathers to males not in uniform, including teenage boys as young as 16.

They Are Psychopaths

In May 1915 the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania was sunk without warning in breach of international by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland with the loss of 1200 lives, including 128 Americans. The resultant furore at this ‘brutal act of wanton slaughter’ was what turned hitherto reluctant US public opinion in favour of joining the war with Germany.

Which was the plan all along. The ship - in breach of US law - had been secretly loaded with munitions beforehand. And the British Admiralty, which had cracked German naval codes, deliberately sent Lusitania at reduced speed into an area where U-20 had already sunk two ships.

Five days before the sinking of the Lusitania, as Fergus O’Connor Greenwood recounts in 180 degrees: Unlearn the Lies You Have Been Taught to Believe, the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom Walter Heinz Page sent the following note to his son:

“If a British liner full of Americans be blown up what will Uncle Sam do? That’s what is going to happen?”

The US later used the same playbook at Pearl Harbour, allowing eight of their battleships to be sunk or damaged and over 2000 of their service personnel to be killed in the ‘surprise’ Japanese attack which would hasten America’s entry into the Second World War.

They Invent The Lies; But We Do Their Dirty Work for Them

During ‘Covid’, lots of Awake people expressed astonishment that our doctors, whose job it supposedly is to care for our health and to ‘first do no harm’ instead chose to push on the unwitting populace an unnecessary experimental drugs procedure that would end up killing them or injuring them.

But it’s not just the doctors who betray us. So too does every other ‘prestigious’ profession. Bankers conceal the corrupt nature of the financial system; politicians routinely lie about everything; scientists promote fantastical bollocks about climate change; accountants cook the books for evil corporations; media types regurgitate Cabal propaganda as ‘news’…

…And the historians. Surely not them as well? What could be more innocuous than a career delving into the mysteries of the past and, through diligent research, explaining to students and other readers what really happened?

Few historians do this, though. Certainly not the ones who get the professorships and sell books in quantity. The price they pay - and are more than happily prepared to pay - for success is to cover up for their dark overloads.

It is thanks to historians, more so perhaps than to any other profession, that the psychopaths responsible for the worst crimes in history continue to get away with murder.

Nihil Sub Sole Novum

But perhaps the most important lesson of the Two World Wars is this: everything you thought was new and shocking They’ve been doing - and getting away with - for years.

Psyops did not begin with “Look him in the eyes and tell him the risk isn’t real.”

Conspiracies did not start with JFK.

False Flags did not begin with 9/11.

Confected atrocity stories about beheaded babies in Gaza or murdered children at ‘Taylor Swift’ ballet classes in Southport? Just consider all the stories circulated in the Allied media in 1914 about evil, spike-helmeted Teutons raping nuns and bayoneting nurses.

Wear a mask? A carbon copy of “Always carry your gas mask” in 1939. As Carol Quigley recounts in Tragedy & Hope, the threat of airborne gas attacks was a chimera. The purpose of ubiquitous and enforced gas masks was to psych the populace into a state of anxiety and obedience.

False flags like 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombings, 7/7, etc? Both World Wars were rife with Allied false flags, including attacks by Allies dressed up as Germans in Poland and, of course, the ‘allow it to happen’ variant as used more recently in Gaza, at Pearl Harbor.

As well as being arguably the worst crime in history, the First and Second World Wars were also perhaps its biggest and most successful brainwashing exercise. They were the testing ground for all the psychological manipulation techniques still fooling us - most of us - today.

Feargus O'Connor Greenwood, Unregistered Chickens, and friends. Northants, 10th October.

Saturday 10th October. My neck of the woods, Northants. And I have persuaded Feargus O'Connor Greenwood to come and talk to us.

If you don’t know Feargus, you should. He wrote 180 Degrees: Unlearn The Lies You’ve Been Taught To Believe — six years of work, the better part of eight hundred pages, and quite possibly the best book of its kind that anyone has managed to write. He came on the Delingpod a while back and people are still telling me about it. He is calm, formidably well-read and entirely un-mad, which, given the territory, is no small achievement.

Also playing: Unregistered Chickens, featuring my brother Dick, with Andy out front. They apparently get better every time. I say “apparently” because Dick and Andy never miss an opportunity to remind me that I don’t actually come and watch them. This year I may make an exception.

A prayer request

Please can you all pray for a miracle with my finger. I’ve had the wire out but unfortunately the bone is refusing to knit. Unless a miracle happens in the next fortnight I’m facing a much bigger, nastier op…. So you’ll see why, on balance, I prefer divine intervention and the more of you that pray the easier you make God’s job.

James's Big Birthday Bash - August 1st. Be There!

Because I love you all and want you to be happy, I’d like few things more than if you were ALL able to join me at my James Delingpole Birthday Bash on August 1st.

Unfortunately, numbers are strictly limited. So please don’t be one of those people - I’m the procrastinating type myself, so I know whereof I speak - who sends me a pleading message a few days before the event saying: “Can you squeeze me in?” Because tragically I might not be able to help.

Here’s why I think you’ll enjoy it. The main event is me doing a live Delingpod with Bob Moran and the conversation is going to be great. You know it is. Apart from my brother Dick - who’ll also be appearing, obvs. - there’s probably no one with whom I have a greater rapport than Bob. And, gosh, do we have a lot to talk about: chemtrails, death jabs, dinosaurs, Satanists, the New World Order etc. All the stuff, basically, that you can’t discuss with your Normie friends, but which here we’ll cover freely and frankly because, hey, you’ll be ...

Christianity 1 New Age 0

If you haven’t already - I’m a bit behind the curve here - I urge you to watch this car crash encounter between Christian apologist and scholar Wes Huff and ‘ancient civilisation’ researcher Billy Carson.

It’s an excruciating experience - probably best to watch it on double speed - for a couple of reasons. First, the hapless podcast host/debate moderator Mark Minard is somewhat out of his depth and is also clearly embarrassed at having one of his guests (Carson, sitting right next to him) eviscerated in front of him by his other guest. This causes him to interrupt the debate at intervals and expound well-meaningly but not very interestingly on his own half-baked views on the mysteries of the universe. You feel a bit sorry for him but you do rather wish he’d shut up.

Second, and mainly, it’s painful to watch Carson being outclassed and outgunned by someone who knows and understands his purported field of expertise so much better than he does. Carson was reportedly so upset by the encounter that he ...

How Do You Avoid an Unhappy Afterlife? (Part 1)

What happens when we die? Why are we here? How do you live the sort of life that precludes bad things happening to you in the next one? Just a few of the questions I shall be trying and failing to answer at my next podcast live event when I shall be chatting to Feargus O’Connor Greenwood.

I’m a big fan of Feargus. His first book - 180 Degrees: Unlearn the Lies You’ve Been Taught to Believe - is probably the best Key to All Conspiracies there is. Titanic; Yuri Bezemov; Antarctica; Loosh; vaccines; USS Liberty; 9/11; Isaac Kappy; you name them or it and they’re probably there.

But that was just beginning. In his latest book - Spiritual War: Tales of the Unexpected (Part 1) - Greenwood really goes off the deep end. So much so that Greenwood asked: “You SURE you want to do a podcast with me? Maybe you should read the book first.”

Well, I’ve read it and I’m looking forward to our conversation more than ever.

Greenwood and I don’t agree on everything - he’s not a Christian, at least in any conventional sense - but I wouldn’t expect this of any guest I had on my podcast. Sure, on those very rare occasions where there is a total meeting of minds it’s a bonus. Really all I’m after though is interesting ideas, fluently and entertainingly expressed and - key, this - persuasively argued.

I hate to keep harping on about my disappointing encounter with David Icke. But it illustrates the point I’m trying to make so well that I can’t not. Icke and his followers chose to misrepresent our disagreement as the result of my Christian dogmatism. It wasn’t that though. I couldn’t have cared less whether Icke was a Zoroastrian or a Jedi or a Seventh Day Adventist or, as he probably is, a Luciferian serving up microwaved Madame Blavatsky. Where I do draw the line though, is with guests incapable of explaining coherently and engagingly “Here’s what I believe” and “Here’s why.” That was my problem with Icke: he just wasn’t up to the job.

But I’ve certainly no objection when anyone wants to challenge my Christian belief system. It needs challenging. Humility is an underrated Christian virtue, which keeps you honest because one of the questions that underpins it is: “Am I doing it right?” This is why I sometimes argue that the most important line in the entirety of the Psalter is this one from Psalm 51:

The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.

Part of the deal of being a good Christian, it seems to me, is this continual process of self-examination - and self-correction. In order to do that, though, it helps if you know what the deal actually is.

To pluck one of myriad examples from the ether, just how much of your prayer life should be spent venerating the Virgin? If you’re a Roman Catholic or Orthodox (who call the Virgin Mary ‘Theotokos’) the answer will be ‘lots’. But if you’re, say, a Mennonite like my recent podcast guest Terry Wolfe, or you’re a Presbyterian, or an Evangelical, you’ll counter that there is no biblical evidence that Mary is the ‘Queen of Heaven’, let alone that there was ever an Assumption.

So where does that leave you? I’m alive to both arguments, my sympathies often dependent on which person I spoke to last. My Catholic convert friend Gavin Ashenden, for example, makes a moving and beautiful case for the majesty and power of the Virgin, and the floral scent which can betray her presence. The Athonite hermit turned St Paisios was surely closer to God than most of us will ever be - and he was in no doubt of the Virgin’s significance. But suggest this to anyone who takes the Sola Scriptura line and they’ll counter that the elevation of the Virgin to quasi divine status is just rebadged pagan goddess worship. Both camps are devout and sincere. But they can’t both be right surely? And if that’s the case does that mean that one lot are going to burn in hell? Or does God allow a bit of leeway?

Well, not according to the scholarly and biblically infused Terry Wolfe who has read his scriptures closely and come to the conclusion that God is implacable and uncompromising. Which of course sets him at odds with those of the ‘God is love’ school, where Jesus makes everything nice. I know from my psalm reading (111 to be precise; or 110 if you are Catholic or Orthodox) that ‘fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.’ But how much ‘fear’ exactly? And what is meant by ‘fear’, anyway.

Which brings us to another tricky issue: interpreting scripture. Sometimes, it’s pretty obvious what a Bible verse means. At others, you need to apply scholarship and background knowledge to extract the full meaning. Gavin Ashenden provides a good example of this in his superb essay on the episode in Mark 4:39 where Jesus calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee.

Contrary to what most of us might think, Ashenden explains, this is more than just a scene involving ‘an unfortunate accident of the weather.’ The clue is in the Greek.

Mark gives away the metaphysics of the scene in a single word. Describing the disciples’ struggle with the weather in the boat, he uses basanizomenous — βασανιζοµένους. This is not a nautical word. It is the exorcist’s word.

It means tormented. The disciples are being tormented by the storm.

Mark uses the same word elsewhere for the Gerasene demoniac, in Mark 5:7, where the demon cries out to Jesus,

“Do not torment me.”

Mark had perfectly ordinary vocabulary available for hard rowing and bad weather. Instead, he reaches for the word he otherwise reserves for men and spirits under the pressure of hostile power.

In the Greek, Mark is telling us this is a spiritual engagement, not a meteorological one.

When Jesus reaches the disciples, he uses the same register. He does not simply command the wind to drop; he rebukes it.

“He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still’” -Mark 4:39.

Rebuke is the technical term for confronting an unclean spirit. It is the very word Jesus uses when he silences a demon in the Capernaum synagogue (Mark 1:25), and the word used when he casts the spirit out of the boy at the foot of the Mount of Transfiguration (Mark 9:25).

So here’s the rub: if you accept that scripture is subject to interpretation, it follows that you may need ‘experts’ to help you interpret it. But which experts? I’m a huge fan of the late Michael Heiser. (How I wish I’d been able to get him on the pod before his untimely demise!). After reading his The Unseen Realm I was very taken with his theories about the ‘Divine Council’, a kind of heavenly parliament, as hinted at in places like Psalm 82. But there are those, similarly well versed in Greek, Hebrew and scripture, who insist he has got the wrong end of the stick and has read far too much into too little. Again: which side do you choose?

These are just some of the reasons why I am wary of fellow Christians who stridently assert exactly what the deal is. ‘How do you know?’ I want to ask. ‘How can you be so sure?’

I have a lot more to say on this subject - for example, I haven’t yet mentioned my concerns about the Old Testament’s position on circumcision: why would God, having made man in His image, then insist that there was this little bit at the end of the willy chaps are born with which for some reason needed chopping off? - but unfortunately I’m about to go on holiday.

My wife is never very happy when I should be packing and instead I’m in the office tinkering with some article I should have finished days ago on my computer. I’ve just been given a five minute warning. So in the interests of domestic harmony, I’m going to publish an incomplete version and then follow it up with a part two when I get back.

In the meantime, if you’d like to read more of my musings on Christianity, here is a piece I wrote last year.

Who Really Runs The World? (Part III)
Spoiler: They Begin With the Same Letter as ‘Pederast’

Who really runs the world?

There’s a certain kind of Awake person - grown-up, superior, lightly contemptuous of Awake newbies - who thinks there’s no point in asking this question.

“We’ll never know,” says Mister Snooty Pants. “And anyway, we’ve got more important things to be getting on with. We need to be thinking about solutions, not engaging in idle speculation.”

Happily for you I am not one of those people. Being puckish, irresponsible and relentlessly curious I care very much who it is that really runs the world. Also, I’m idealistic enough to believe that the truth matters; and optimistic enough to believe that if we keep pushing hard enough one day we’ll get there.

And now, with the help of my latest podcast guest, I think we’re a few steps closer.

Mrs Heritage History - or Mrs HH, as we shall call her from now on - is a grandmother from Idaho who acquired her monicker and her field of expertise quite by accident. Her background is engineering, not the liberal arts. But after giving up her job in order to home school her kids - “I didn’t want them turning into Beavis and Butthead” - she realised she’d better start brushing up on the subjects with which she was unfamiliar. And that was the point where she made the first of many discoveries.

Her first discovery was that history books published a century or more ago are more readable, informative and probably more accurate than those published recently. (You’ll find a selection of them here at her Heritage History online library). There’s a Normie-friendly explanation for this: narrative history, which is what used to be taught, has been largely replaced by interpretative history or historiography. Instead of understanding history as a series of stories about impressive people doing interesting things, we are now encouraged to focus on boring stuff like ‘underlying forces’, gender imbalances, ancient human rights violations, and so on.

But the problem actually runs deeper than this. History really now ought to be called Airbrushistory because that what it has been doing for at least a century: concealing from us the truth about our past at the behest of the shadowy figures who’ve been running the world since time immemorial. (Of whom more in a moment).

This is a huge subject and there’s no space to get into it here. For starters try my essay“How to Murder 100 Million People and Come out Smelling of Roses”, which shows how everything we’ve been taught about the origins of the two world wars is a lie and how Establishment historians have played a big part in the cover up. If their books regularly hit the bestseller lists or if they are a history professor - especially an Oxford history professor - then they’re more likely to be serving the Lie Machine’s interests than yours.

And if most modern history is bunk imagine how much worse things get the further back we go. Institutions like the Smithsonian - I don’t doubt that its British, French and German equivalents are just as guilty - have been systematically destroying inconvenient archaeological evidence since at least the mid-19th century. This is one of those many awkward facts which simply does not compute if you are Normie. Normies have seen Indiana Jones, been to the British Museum or the Louvre and quite possibly visited the pyramids too. As a result they have formed the unshakeable conviction that archaeologists are kinda cool, museum directors are immensely learned and distinguished and dispassionate, and that ancient history is something we get closer to understanding with each passing year as more and more evidence is unearthed by teams of selfless and dedicated soil-sifters.

But they’re mistaken, obvs, as Normies are about most things. Archaeology, museums, ancient history: anyone involved in these fields at the higher levels is a professional liar, just like all palaeontologists are all professional liars. It’s the way of the world: if you want to get on you’ve got to play the game.

Here’s a recent post from Mrs HH illustrating my point:

https://substack.com/@northidaholocal/note/c-319908069

Can it really be possible that the ancient past remains so dangerous to our dark overlords that they have to conceal it from us? George Orwell - who was probably one of Them - gave the game away: “Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” In other words, there are secrets buried in the past which, if they got into the wrong hands - ie our hands - might make it harder for our dark overlords to keep us in check.

Yes, but WHAT, James? What?

Well, I’m guessing - and it is only a semi-educated guess - that one of them might be about their relationship to the Nephilim described in Genesis 6. The Smithsonian has been particularly assiduous in destroying all the giants’ skeletons quite frequently unearthed by Americans - and reported in local newspapers - in the 19th Century. Would this perhaps be because their bones provide physical evidence of the descendants of the interbreeding between fallen angels and the daughters of men, resulting in the so-called ‘mighty men’?

Another secret might be - as shown in revelation-of-the-method movies like the Indiana Jones series where, at the end, the Ark of the Covenant is consigned to a US government storage depot - that our ancient ancestors had access to artefacts, technologies or occultic skills which rendered them almost superhuman. There are rumours - which I’d love to explore further on a podcast if anyone can recommend someone credible - that one of the main reasons for the invasion of Iraq in the Second Gulf War was so that occultists like Hillary Clinton could get their witchy claws on the lost magical treasures of Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh’s sword, and such like.

Then, of course, there’s the possibility that there were civilisations far older than any recognised by mainstream archaeologists. Atlantis, for example, which I covered recently in a podcast episode with the charming and articulate Michael Le Flem. Or the lost ice Age civilisations championed by Graham Hancock and which I would believe in much more if a) he hadn’t been given his own series on Cabal Brainwash Central (aka Netflix) and b) didn’t appear regularly on Joe Rogan. Then again, he has been ‘debunked’ by Professor Dave, so that’s a point in his favour.

But when it comes to ‘conspiracy theories’ about our ancient past, I have yet to come upon one more plausible, compelling and erudite than the one advanced by Mrs HH, with able support from the magnificent Peter Duke.

It concerns the Phoenicians.

Now I don’t know about you but I know remarkably little about the Phoenicians. Until I read Mrs HH’s and Peter Duke’s research I had assumed that this was because they weren’t that significant: certainly not in the league of all the other ancient civilisations we’re taught about in school or which crop up everywhere from pop songs (‘Walk Like An Egyptian’, etc) to movies like Ben Hur, Spartacus, The 300, Gladiator etc.

We’re most of us so familiar with the Ancient Egyptians that we can identify their gods: Thoth with his distinctive Sacred Ibis curved beak; jackal-headed Anubis; Horus, the falcon. We know about Tutankhamen and the Mummy’s Curse. Ancient Egyptian symbols carry intellectual heft, as you can see by the way they are deployed on the niche BBC quiz show Only Connect - the hieroglyph-themed categories include ‘Horned viper’, ‘two reeds’, ‘lion’ ‘twisted flax’ etc - so that viewers can remind themselves how erudite they are in cherishing such details.

As for the Ancient Greeks and, even more so, the Romans - is there anything that we actually don’t know about them? The elite-educated among us have been trained to speak their language and quote their aphorisms. We know not just the names of their entire pantheon, but their characteristics (“grey eyed Athena”, etc). We’ve studied plays about them - Anthony and Cleopatra; Julius Caesar; maybe even Antigone - at school. We know about their history, their traditions, their battle tactics, their sexual preferences, their literature. Everyone (well, apart from me) has seen the Odyssey. Some people have even read the book.

The Phoenicians, though? There’s only one Phoenician that we’ve likely even heard of - Hannibal - and we probably didn’t even realise that Elephant Man was a Phoenician, nor that Carthage, whence he came, was one of the great Phoenician cities (along with Tyre, Sidon and - who knew? - the port in Spain the Phoenicians called Agadir and which we now call Cadiz).

Once you’re aware that Carthage was Phoenician you might manage to scrape a few other details from the recesses of your memory. The phrase “Delenda est Carthago”, for example. This was how Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) reputedly ended all his speeches in the Roman Senate. [Actually, I learn from Wikipedia, he used a less pithy phrase “Ceterum (autem) censeo Carthaginem esse delendam”, but it carries the same meaning]. It means “Carthage must be destroyed,” which gives you an idea of how little love was lost between the Romans and the Phoenicians in the days of the Republic, when they fought the Punic wars. The Roman phrase ‘Punica fides’ - ‘Punic faith’ - was synonymous with treachery.

So: Hannibal; elephants; Cannae; and a couple of Latin phrases: it’s really not much to show in the collective memory, is it, for a civilisation that dominated the Mediterranean basin for more than a thousand years? Which leads, inexorably, to one of two broad possible conclusions. The first is: “Phoenicians? Nah. Nothing to see here. They were never in the Premier League of ancient civilisations.” And the second is: “There has been a massive cover up.”

After speaking to Mrs Heritage History, I’m going with the second. We’re talking, after all, about a civilisation that: dominated the world’s trade routes; was technologically superior in many key domains from mining to navigation to shipbuilding; controlled resources including gold, silver and tin mining, as well as the Lebanon cedars used for ship-building and also the papyrus trade thanks to its literary headquarters at Byblos; was stupendously wealthy - see all of the above; dominated the world’s intelligence system, thanks to its presence in all the world’s entrepots; and almost impossible to defeat militarily because, apart from strongholds like Carthage, it held no major territory because a bit like the modern Jews (excepting the state of Israel) its people were at once everywhere and nowhere, visible and invisible.

Could a civilisation as advanced, supple, rich, sophisticated, knowledgable and ubiquitous really just have vanished into the ether?

No, of course it couldn’t and didn’t. It just went underground. This it could do thanks to another secret weapon it shares with modern Jews: matrilineal descendancy. That is, it could marry its daughters into the royal houses of all its rival civilisations, and subvert their traditions and influence their policies, without the host culture even noticing that it had fallen victim to a bloodless but hostile takeover. On the surface, the Romans would remain Roman; the Egyptians, Egyptian; the Minoans, Minoan; the Persians, Persian; and so on. Underneath, they were - not the ordinary folk, note; just the ruling elites - Phoenician.

For a truly fascinating, in-depth digression on this I cannot recommend highly enough this thoughtful essay by Thoughts From The Taverna. Taverna (as I hope he doesn’t mind me calling him for short) has noticed that the Frank Herbert series of Dune sci-fi novels tell you all about the Phoenician control structure through the ‘meta-layer’ narrative device of the Bene Gesserit. The Bene Gesserit are the ancient priestly class, all women, who secretly run the world from behind the scenes.

Here’s an extract from his piece, describing how it works:

When Mrs. Heritage History examined the genealogies embedded in ancient histories, she found patterns that certain families in Greece, Rome, and beyond traced back to Phoenician intermarriage generations earlier. Pericles, the controversial Athenian statesman, came from a family that descended from the “tyrant of Syracuse“. Tyrantbeing a Phoenician-derived term from the city-state Tyre. These were outcomes that were planned centuries earlier. Once, again, thinking in centuries not decades.

The Bene Gesserit breeding program is this practice made explicit. Thousands of years of selective pairing to produce a specific genetic outcome. The Kwisatz Haderach is the culmination. But the method which is patient, multi-generational, and hidden from those being bred are completely identical.

Besides conquest through dynastic marriage, the Phoenicians also gained power through the cruder method of bribery and corruption. This, argues Mrs HH, was how the Phoenicians took over Rome. They had lost the three Punic wars - ending with the total destruction of Carthage and, famously, the poisoning of its wells and the salting of its earth - but they won the peace by sneaking through the back door. Julius Caesar established his reputation in Phoenician-controlled Spain; later he was bankrolled by figures like Crassus - who gave us the word ‘crass’: that’s how delightful he was - who was in turn in the pocket of the Phoenicians. The civil wars which brought the Roman Republic to an end have been presented to us as a struggle between the people (represented by Julius Caesar) and the entrenched elites. But that’s the kind of positive spin you get when the victors are in control of the narrative. What those wars were really about, per Mrs HH, was a Phoenician power grab: extending the voter base beyond the Roman city to the Italian provinces (where the Phoenician influence was stronger); creating a standing army of professionals (as opposed to armed citizens) and therefore a mercenary body capable of acting against the populace’s interests.

Julius Caesar, you may or may not know, was a massive pederast, bum bandit and all round perve. This is significant because so were the Phoenicians (as, by the way, Romans generally weren’t in the days of the Republic. The debauchery came later). They raped both male and female children from a very young age; they were sexually profligate and adept (the dancing girls of Cadiz were particularly notorious: every fashionable Roman household had them at their parties); and when not having sex with their children they were busy killing them in ritual sacrifices to gods such as Baal Hammon and Tanit. As Phoenician mothers carried their first born to the slaughter, placing their child into the outstretched palms of a bull-like idol whence the infant would tumble screaming into the fire, they were expected to show no emotion. If they shed even a single tear, I learned from a podcast with Scipio Eruditus, the sacrifice would have been deemed invalid by the priests.

Up until the second half of 20th century, the Phoenicians’ penchant for human sacrifice was well understood by scholars. And by archeologists who found evidence of the murdered infants at sacrificial sites, known as tophets, everywhere from Carthage to Sicily, Sardinia and Malta. But then it became fashionable to explain away the child sacrifice as ‘racist’ propaganda on the part of the Greeks and Romans against their traditional enemies. If you want a quick chortle, do have a read of this piece in which an Oxford Classics professor, Dr Josephine Quinn, attempts to excuse child sacrifice on the grounds of autres temps, autre moeurs.

‘It’s very difficult for us to recapture people’s motivations for carrying out this practice or why parents would agree to it, but it’s worth trying. ‘Perhaps it was out of profound religious piety, or a sense that the good the sacrifice could bring the family or community as a whole outweighed the life of the child. ‘We have to remember the high level of mortality among children – it would have been sensible for parents not to get too attached to a child that might well not make its first birthday.’

Dr Quinn added: ‘We think of it as a slander because we view it in our own terms. But people looked at it differently 2,500 years ago. ‘Indeed, contemporary Greek and Roman writers tended to describe the practice as more of an eccentricity or historical oddity – they’re not actually very critical.

Yeah. That’ll be it. The reason we are disgusted with the idea of burning babies alive is because we’ve been rendered soft by low infant mortality rates and because we no longer understand how important it can be to appease the dark gods by slaughtering children at their shrines.

I wonder if Dr Quinn is herself of Phoenician heritage. She’s certainly talking like one here but probably only she and her fellow Phoenicians would know if she were. That’s how the game works: only people who are in the club know who the actual members are. The rest of us just have to rely on educated guesswork.

But there are clues. One of them concerns a phrase you quite often hear in conspiracy circles: “signs and symbols will be Their undoing.” [I’ve initial capped that pronoun as is my wont]. That’s because, as you may have noticed, They have a somewhat conflicted approach towards self-revelation. On the one hand, They like flying totally under the radar and operating in the deepest, dankest secrecy. On the other, They have to show you who They really are because Their religious obligations and Their inner sense of scornful, mocking superiority compel them to do so. They’re like James Blunt in his latest, creepy but revealing pop video.

Hence the red and white stripes on the US flag, which also appear on the East India Company flag and which also appeared on the sails of Phoenician trading vessels. Hence the Pillars of Hercules which appear on the Spanish flag, a nod to the fact that it was the Phoenicians who controlled the gateway to the Atlantic - and were likely to-ing and fro-ing to the Americas long before Columbus (which is why the Smithsonian Institute had to destroy so many of the ancient statues reported on by early European explorers of America). Hence the fact that nominally Christian countries like the US, the UK and France are yet represented by pagan goddesses - Columbia, Britannia, Marianne - who are just rebadged versions of the Phoenician goddess Astarte (aka Isis; Cybele). For more details see here.

There are clues everywhere, if you know where to look. One of the more egregious displays of Phoenician iconography can be found on the Mellon Auditorium in Washington DC. Passers-by glancing up at the pediment above this 1935 neoclassical building will likely assume that the semi-naked figures sculpted in limestone represent something wholesome and uplifting from Ancient History, befitting the US capital’s status as the New Rome. Spoiler: no they don’t. You’ll have to read The Duke Report’s essay for the full gobsmacking details. But essentially, that pediment is a paean to those delightful Phoenician practices of child-kidnapping, rape and pederasty. Which is why, argues Peter Duke, the elites use the building for enacting legislation in which the state seizes boys from their parents and sends them off to be metaphorically sodomised in the various foreign wars it has instigated.

This is an endlessly fascinating subject. Books - I hope - will be written on it because there’s so much to say and it draws together so many threads. My podcast with Mrs HH barely scratches the surface. But it will whet your appetite for further research and, I think, will go some way towards answering questions that hitherto you’ve been ill-equipped to answer. Such as the one I posed in the title about “Who Really Runs The World?”

It’s quite a divisive one in Conspiracy World because people tend to be very defensive about their preferred positions - and are correspondingly aggressive towards those who hold the ‘wrong’ view. The “it’s the Black Nobility”, “it’s the Jesuits” and “it’s the City of London” camps consider themselves mightily superior to the “it’s the Jews” camp. The “it’s the Jews” camp, meanwhile, just think the others are mealy-mouthed cowards who won’t acknowledge the Elephant in the Room. Personally, I’ve always been a bit wary about pinning my colours to any one particular mast, not so much because I’m a pusillanimous girlie but because I’ve found merit in all the different factions’ cases. What I’ve been lacking is the grand unifying conspiracy theory that enables me to have my cake and eat it by agreeing with everyone.

Now, thanks to Mrs HH’s Phoenician theory, I think I just about can. On the subject of ‘the Jews’, for example: it has always struck me as a bit desperate when people insist it’s ‘not the Jews’, when you only have to look at the banking, music and film industries to realise that it has to be, a bit. At the same time, though, the notion that it’s all ‘the Jews’ has long struck me as similarly absurd, because clearly some of the most powerful individuals and families throughout history right up to the present are not Jewish.

No, it’s not just the Black Nobility. Or the freemasons. Or the Jesuits. Or the City of London. Or the Jews. It’s ALL of them because, au fond, they are all Phoenicians.

How to Speak to Climate Bedwetters
...And Normies
 

 

For obvious reasons, I don’t read the Times (or the Times of London, as Americans call it). But my attention was drawn to a comment piece by one of its dripping-wet columnists blaming me - and evil climate sceptics like me - for the recent prolonged bout of hot weather.

“Where are all those climate sceptics now?”, the blanket-gnawing thumb-sucker asked rhetorically in the headline. The implication, of course, was that Global Warming was now so totally real and deadly and beyond reasonable doubt that all those fools who used to question it had by now, quite rightly, fled into hiding for fear of the righteous retribution they fully deserved for their toxic, planet-destroying denialism.

So I wrote a reply in the Spectator which gently but firmly put the bed-wetting hysteric back into his cot. Climate, I explained, is not the same thing as weather. Just because it’s sunny doesn’t mean we’re doomed. Nor should we bomb the economy back to the Dark Ages on the basis of an untested theory that the harmless trace gas CO2 might somehow be used as a control knob for world temperatures.

You’ll find the piece here, if you’re interested. It’s a quick, easy read, nicely catty in places, but I don’t think it tells you much that you don’t know already. I’ve been making these Climate 101 arguments for years, most notably in my book Watermelons, which I first published in 2012. But they’re the points you make to a Normie audience, like most of the Spectator’s readership, rather than to the kind of Awake readership I am mainly addressing here.

What I didn’t mention in the Spectator piece, because it muddies the argument, is that yes of course all this freakishly hot weather we’ve been having is man-made. But the men doing the making aren’t ordinary, decent, God-fearing folk like you and me. Rather, they are the dodgy geezers in charge of all those weather-manipulation programmes - HAARP, NEXRAD, chemtrails and so on - which the Predator Class has been using for decades now to achieve its usual nefarious ends: death, destruction, immiseration, starvation, disaster capitalism, re-zoning, etc.

You can’t talk about this stuff in the mainstream, of course, because it just makes the readers think you are a nutter.

The Powers That Be know this. That’s why whenever I write a piece like my Spectator one, there’s a character who pops up regular as clockwork in the comments section to remind everyone of my batshit crazy belief system, viz:

“James also thinks that Dinosaurs are fake, space doesn't exist, Paul McCartney died in the late 60s and the Southport killings never happened (check his X feed). He is, frankly put, completely mental.”

Comments sections, as we know, are heavily infiltrated by bots and the intelligence services (if there is any difference between the two). Their mission is to create what is known as “manufactured doubt.” [See ‘Everyone Is A Baddie’, below]

                 Everyone Is A Baddie (Apart From Me, Obviously. And Maybe Helen and Dick. You Too, Possibly, Though How Would I Know?) 25 April 2026        

This naturally invites the question: should us truth-seekers lay off the more esoteric conspiracy stuff in order to make our arguments more Normie-friendly?

I faced this dilemma when I was updating Watermelons, the book I wrote debunking the climate scare, originally published in 2012. Back then my Weltanschauung was pretty much a Normie one. Sure I sensed, not least because there was so much evidence to support it, that environmentalism was a form of elite conspiracy against ordinary folk. But there’s a lot I have discovered since which in my relatively Normie days would have struck me as outlandish.

For example, I had no idea of how big a role one family - the Rockefellers - had played in teeing up the climate scare, from the 1950s onwards. This they could do not only because of their access to virtually limitless resources, but also because they control so many institutions - newspapers, ‘scientific’ research centres, universities and so on.

Nor was I aware of the technologies which they (the global elites) have been using to manipulate weather in order to generate the headline-grabbing events - ‘wild fires’, hurricanes, floods, even earthquakes - which they then use further to ramp up the climate scare. “They’ve even got this space beam, called a Directed Energy Weapon, which they can use to zap the super yachts of inconvenient billionaires and destroy areas of Hawaii that they want to redevelop into 15 minute neighbourhoods, but which doesn’t work if you paint your roof blue,” I can imagine trying to explain to the James-Delingpole-of-ten-years ago. I doubt that he would have been terribly convinced.

And obviously I didn’t know - no Normie does: it would do their head in - that the people behind all this stuff, the tiny Cabal that runs the world, are all Satanic paedophiles.

But how much of this new information was it wise to include in my updated edition of Watermelons?

I thought long and hard about this and eventually decided: all of it.

You might wonder what relevance the Cabal’s Satanic paedophilic predilections have to a book about global warming. My rationale for this is not dissimilar to the one I offered recently to one of my podcast guests when he accused me of being ‘obsessed’ with this issue and of just using it to trawl for click-bait. Essentially, if you are fighting a war it helps if you know what makes your Enemy tick.

“But why would they do this?” is the question Normies most usually ask when you try giving them an overview of Who Really Runs The World.

Sure you could fob them off with the usual Normie-level explanations involving ‘money’ and ‘power’ but you would be doing the truth a disservice.

The people we’re talking about already have more than enough money and power. While they are not averse to acquiring more of both, neither of them is an itch they continually need to scratch. Doing evil, on the other hand, is a constant requirement in their tormented lives because the dark gods whom they serve require it of them.

Just because something is true, though, doesn’t mean that one is morally bound to mention it on every occasion. That Spectator piece I mentioned earlier provides a good example of when not to tell the whole truth. Had it said: “Global warming isn’t real because it was invented by trillionaire, child-eating Satanists who use gigantic death lasers to cause wild fires so their minions can clean up on the re-zoning and turn us all into slaves” it would likely have had fewer positive reader responses.

For some in the Awake not-a-community this is precisely why one shouldn’t waste any time writing for the mainstream media. Why involve oneself with an industry whose relentless lies and misreporting and disinformation made the Covid scam possible? Why write for an audience so wedded to the Normie paradigm that you have to pull most of your punches and muffle all your truth bombs? Why accept even a single slime-coated penny from one of the tentacular branches of the evil Beast System?

Well I don’t do it for the money, that’s for sure, because the money in journalism these days is dismal. I think I get paid less now for the fortnightly TV column I’ve been writing in the Spectator since 1997 than I did when I started it.

Rather I do it because it enables me to reach an audience who would never otherwise see my stuff because they don’t move in conspiracy circles. Yes, by and large you could call them Normies. But so are the vast majority of people in the world. And I don’t believe that the fact they think wrong things about most stuff is sufficient reason to write them out of my existence.

Whenever I read one of my more hardcore fellow conspiracy loons railing against Normies - how disgustingly fully-jabbed they are, how spectacularly they shat the bed during ‘covid’, how quick they were to demand that we Awake folk should be excluded or defunded or even imprisoned for refusing to submit to an experimental medical intervention - I think: “Yeah. We all know this. But what you’re doing is like picking on a kid with Down’s Syndrome.”

As Jesus almost said, the Normies will always be with us. Some of them are members of our families. Others of them are our friends. Others are the kind of randoms with whom one might find oneself trapped at a house party in August in a particularly remote part of Scotland.

To you, O pure ones, this may afford the perfect opportunity to demonstrate just how selfless and committed you really are. No more birthday cards for, or interactions of any kind with, family members who persist in believing that 9/11 was planned by a bearded man in an Afghan cave. No more friendships with anyone who calls them ‘contrails.’ As for that Scottish house party - let conviviality and generosity be damned: spoiling 15 other people’s holiday is a small price to pay for the ongoing fulfilment of your holy mission to enlighten the world as to the non-existence of viruses.

To me, though, this is snobbish zealotry. Apart from the fact that I don’t at all hate Normies - I just feel a bit sorry for them - I am averse to living in a world of self-enforced isolationism where the only people I talk to are the ones who more or less agree with me. Isolationism strikes me as the kind of behaviour one might expect from the evil elites we’re trying to overthrow. “Oh you mustn’t associate yourself with them. They are the profane. They are not privy to the recondite knowledge that makes us special,” is what Awake purity spirallers are basically telling us. Excuse me? Really?? Well if that’s the deal then I can’t see how our New Jerusalem is going to be a significant improvement on Their New World Order.

So this why I still write - though not very often, it must be said - for the mainstream media. But it’s a tricky balancing act. Part of my schtick throughout my writing career has been always to tell my readership exactly what I think. And you can no longer do that when you’re an Awake person writing for a Normie audience, because your basic assumptions are so very different. For example, when I’m writing for an Awake audience, I can take it as read that almost no one will believe in Evolutionary Theory and that quite a few of them will recognise it as a freemasonic conspiracy in which the devious, hypochondriacal, 33rd degree freemason Darwin was, of course, a leading player. But a Normie readership would consider such things anathema. They’ve been trained to think of Darwin as one of the greatest heroes of English history and of evolution as being so well established that it’s no longer theoretical. Diss Darwin - (unless the whole point of the piece was dissing Darwin, in which case you’d have no choice) - and you’d lose your audience as quickly as if you’d told them that ‘Shakespeare’ is evil and that anyway he wasn’t even the author, even though both those things are the case.

One of the most painful lessons I’ve learned in the public speaking side of my career is the importance of assessing your audience. Misjudge their tastes and you die horribly and might as well not have bothered. The same is true of writing. That’s why, whenever I write for the mainstream media I try not to mention that we haven’t been to the moon till at least the second or third paragraph. I’m a bit like a crocodile stalking a herd of migrating wildebeest gingerly approaching my river, aware that the slightest untoward move could frighten one and cause the whole lot to stampede on top of me. ‘Don’t frighten the wildebeest!’ as I am ever wont to say.

My problem here is that I have an incorrigible streak of mischievousness. In the TV column, for example, which I write once a fortnight I try to act as if I don’t know that TV is a gigantic brainwashing device and that all drama is a form of social control. But occasionally I just can’t help myself from slipping in cheeky insider references to characters like Alan Watt, whom nobody save fellow conspiracy loons will ever have heard of. I suppose it’s the equivalent of all those one-eye gestures and triangle hand shapes and so on that actors and politicians and churchmen use to signal to one another that they are members of the Big Club. But unlike the Big Club members I’m not doing it to get a hit of adrenochrome or promotion higher up the ladder leading to Satan’s arse. I just want to read someone in the comments section going: “Yes, James, I got it and I’m totally with you. I’ve been reading you for years and I’ve followed you down the rabbit hole. Keep doing what you are doing!” [I do actually get such messages sometimes. But not as often as I’d like].

But, as usual, I digress. We were talking, you may remember, about global warming. And we were wondering how much it’s safe to tell the children - aka the Normies - about this jolly important subject. Should one stick to the old arguments with which they are comfortably familiar - natural cycles, etc? Or should one try to move the discussion on and red pill them into realising that the climate industrial complex is more malign than they could have realised in their wildest dreams?

For reasons already stated, I’m going mainly with the first option. Take the win! Be happy and grateful how many people out there in the mainstream who now recognise that climate change is a hoax! Their profound climate scepticism may - who knows? - be their gateway drug to ever-increasing Awakeness.

The argument against this policy, though, is that to a degree you end up doing the Enemy’s work for them. That is, They don’t want you talking about chemtrails, HAARP, NEXRAD, Directed Energy Weapons, ‘elite’ depravity, Rockefellers, Satanic Ritual Abuse, etc so, by self-censoring, you are sort of surrendering to their evil will.

Also, if you form too close an alliance with mainstream climate scepticism you find yourself with some awkward bedfellows. This is why I don’t maintain much contact with the old chums who, five or ten years ago, I would have considered my staunchest allies in the great climate wars. It’s not that we’ve fallen out, exactly. It’s more that we’ve developed irreconcilable differences on certain other issues.

One of my old sceptic chums, for example, has been vigorously pushing the lab-leak theory on ‘Covid’ and has even written a book about it. I think this is an utterly bollocks theory - an Establishment cover-up narrative posing as dogged truth-seeking. But I wouldn’t want to say this to his face because it would be just rude.

Another is a rabid zionist. In fact, I’m guessing most of them probably would be if you asked them.

Quite a few - I can think of at least four - claim that chemtrails don’t exist and have been known to post about it on Twitter in a most annoying way.

But I’m not going to name and shame these people. I don’t understand this game we are apparently required to play where every time a Normie says something wrong and stupid we have to beat them to death with our pram toys. Who made that the rule, anyway? Why aren’t we allowed to do what I generally do in these situations, which is to roll my eyes, mutter “Twat!” at whoever has said the wrong and stupid thing, and then forget about it so I can move on to something more important? As I’ve said before and I’ll say again: Don’t feed the demons!

Anyway, while I’ve got you, if I’ve still got you, I’d like to borrow your crowd-sourcing services for a moment, if I may. I’m interested in hearing from any of you who can cast light on the phenomenon of man-made wild fires, like the ones at Lahaina and Pacific Palisades, and like the ones that nearly destroyed my mother’s house at Stourbridge in the West Midlands last week.

The “official” conspiracy theory on the Stourbridge fires is that they were started by kids inspired by some crazy new TikTok trend. But “kids following crazy new TikTok trend” sounds like a case of plausible deniability to me. Correct me if I am wrong but are not most of these so-called ‘wild fires’ actually started by arsonists in the pay of redevelopers who are in turn run by the Cabal? Is it even possible for a ‘wild fire’ to be started by, say, a broken bottle? [I mean broken glass isn’t like a magnifying glass, is it? Is this perhaps one of those urban myths They sow in our imaginations to make us more susceptible to the idea that ‘wild fires’ are caused by ‘careless’ picnickers, smokers and such like?] And to what extent do They now rely on Directed Energy Weapons these days? Or is it still mainly Old School: bloke in hoodie with matches and a can of petrol?
