Occult Theocracy pt 2: the enshrinement of "American" Icons from Babylon, Egypt & Rome


the basic thesis of this blog is that ideas and values within the collective psyche of a society precipitate into the action of that society; to put it another way--a society with a mythology of murder and warfare will proliferate the murder and warfare implicit in that mythology. because i was born in america and have primary familiarity with the culture and life experience of an american, i can most accurately describe the mythos and culture of america as the source of american imperialism, genocide and constant warfare. somehow in american mass culture a veneer of 'democracy' and 'human rights', as well as 'secular humanism' has been able to prevail, despite the manifest and clear fact that our government has always been an aristocracy in which only the smallest fraction of the population has any control over the course of government activity and foreign policy, and that all the symbolism and iconography of governmental institutions is actually that of  a fascist theocracy dating back to the gods of ancient babylon and egypt. symbolism and mythos influence the psyche of the masses on a pre-rational or subconscious level, and it is on this level where the true nature and origin of america's global warfare and genocide can be seen without any pretense of democracy. this may all sound abstract, but if one can patiently examine the evidence it will seem very concrete and specific. it will soon become clear that americanism is merely a local subset of the imperial culture which has come to dominate the globe militarily, culturally, and politically since the 'fall' of the roman empire, which in turn is actually based on theology of the more ancient cultures of egypt, babylon, and anatolia (as the previous post began to show). so how can the massive discrepancy between how our society sees itself and how it actually exists be maintained? It is through the science of psychological warfare and the manipulation of the mass mind of citizens that an extreme degree of cognitive dissonance is maintained. while public relations may lie and distort, the language of symbol and myth displays the root truth of the aristocratic theocracy in clear detail. this is what i intend to show here: the united states government is a covert theocracy based on the myths and deities of ancient babylon, egypt and rome which share profound similarities among them.

1. The mesopotamian cult of Inanna/Ishtar/Astarte in sumeria, akkad, and babylon.
http://www.akashicreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Inanna.jpg
to begin, let's look at basic elements of the iconography of inanna:
1. The wings an claws of a bird of prey (an eagle or falcon perhaps).
2. The subdued lions (more on this symbol appears in the previous post).
3. The rod/sceptre combined with the ring as a symbol of:
 a.) a phallus and uterus b.) the numerals signifying '10'  c.) the cross cultural symbol of bestowing royal lineage
4. the owl which we also see on the us one dollar bill, the street plan of washington dc, the logo of the bohemian club (where government plans like the manhattan project are concocted), and the giant statue where a 'mock' human sacrifice in the form of a child-sized effigy is performed every summer in the 'cremation of care'

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5a/c7/20/5ac720132723977a08d41ff18ea13b99.jpg to go beyond the basic icons and symbols, let's take a look at the character of the goddess in question more deeply. most non-scholars are familiar with a vague concept of babylon from biblical references, or possibly reggae music which characterized a vague concept of the 'babylon system' in which we now exist. little beyond that is generally understood, except perhaps the phrase 'whore of babylon'. what is that? i would estimate that in the mass mind it is just a vague idea of a corrupt and materialistic society of diluted forms of slavery. In truth however, there is a very specific truth behind this phrase which is in fact the basis for the modern social order. Let's start at the beginning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna
"Inanna (/ɪˈnænə/ or /ɪˈnɑːnə/; Cuneiform: 𒀭𒈹 (Old Babylonian) or DINGIRINANNA (Neo-Assyrian) DMUŠ3; Sumerian: Inanna; Akkadian: Ištar; Unicode: U+12239) was the Sumerian goddess of love, fertility, and warfare, and goddess of the E-Anna temple at the city of Uruk, her main centre."
"Inanna was the most prominent female deity in ancient Mesopotamia.[1] As early as the Uruk period (ca. 4000–3100 BC)"
"Inanna's name derives from Lady of Heaven (Sumerian: nin-an-ak).
 "Along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers were many shrines and temples dedicated to Inanna. The House of Heaven (Sumerian: e2-anna; Cuneiform: 𒂍𒀭 E2.AN) temple[6] in Uruk[7] According to Leick 1994 persons of asexual or hermaphroditic bodies and feminine men were particularly involved in the worship and ritual practices of Inanna's temples (see gala)."
"Inanna's symbol is an eight-pointed star or a rosette.[9]"

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Kudurru_Melishipak_Louvre_Sb23.jpg oh, how interesting. . .it looks just like the star from the christmas party in Stanley Kubrick's film Eyes Wide Shut where the protagonist is hob nobbing with members of an elitist sex cult who have secret orgies at the rothschild mansion. . .what an interesting "coincidence"
http://illuminatimovies.net/wp-content/uploads/illuminati-movies-eyes-wide-shut-star-of-venus.jpg


 moving on then. . .
"Inanna was associated with the planet Venus, which at that time was regarded as two stars, the "morning star" and the "evening star." There are hymns to Inanna as her astral manifestation. It also is believed that in many myths about Inanna, including Inanna's Descent to the Underworld and Inanna and Shukaletuda, her movements correspond with the movements of Venus in the sky. Also, because of its positioning so close to Earth, Venus is not visible across the dome of the sky as most celestial bodies are; because its proximity to the sun renders it invisible during the day. Instead, Venus is visible only when it rises in the East before sunrise, or when it sets in the West after sunset.[11]"
hmm. . . where else have i seen reference to the celestial movement of Venus?

 ok, yeah, but there was something else. . .

 (above is a still image from Fritz Lang's Metropolis)



"She (inanna) also is one of the Sumerian war deities: "She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her, speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance. It is her game to speed conflict and battle, untiring, strapping on her sandals."[15] Battle itself is sometimes referred to as "the dance of Inanna."

http://hitt.com/sites/default/files/styles/project_slide_1680x850/public/Project_Pentagon_Banner_001.jpg?itok=0CgpGkTH
 (above is a nice little vid about a masonic conspiracy to start a world war)
"Consider her description in one hymn: "When the servants let the flocks loose, and when cattle and sheep are returned to cow-pen and sheepfold, then, my lady, like the nameless poor, you wear only a single garment. The pearls of a prostitute are placed around your neck, and you are likely to snatch a man from the tavern."

here i would like to point out the reference to prostitution, because, in the cultural context we are dealing with, prostitutes are referred to as "daughters of inanna", and many writers describe the 'tower of babel' as actually being more like a ziggurat, the top levels of which are reserved for 'sacred' prostitutes which were the hallmark of this cult and the origin of the concept 'whore of babylon'.

 i will delve into this in more detail later, but for now just note that towers, prostitution, war, and bestowing kingship are all key elements in the constellation of symbolism we are focusing on. the final and perhaps most crucial element in inanna's myth deals with her relationship with her son/lover Dumuzi, which closely parallels the story of Cybele and Attis treated in the previous post, and indeed many other mythic tropes such as the 2 discussed later in this entry.
wikipedia includes these brief comments:
" She is never considered to have a permanent spouse, although Dumuzi is her lover. Yet, she is responsible for sending Dumuzi to the Underworld in "Inanna's Descent to the Underworld."
" Dumuzi and his Akkadian counterpart Tammuz both mean ‘The Faithful Son’. This can be translated to Innana’s son who is also her lover"

beyond this, there is also a seperate wiki dealing with many variations and cultural parallels on this story:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tammuz_(deity)#Dumuzid_and_Inanna
Image result for inanna huluppu tree
another essential aspect of the myth pertains to the tree symbolism which will occur at every phase of the myth's permutations in different civilizations. first this is related in the myth of the huluppu tree
http://www.piney.com/BabHulTree.html
"Once upon a time, a tree, a huluppu, a tree -- 
It had been planted on the bank of the Euphrates,
It was watered by the Euphrates --
The violence of the South Wind plucked up its roots,
Tore away its crown,
The Euphrates carried it off on its waters.
 
The woman, roving about in fear at the word of An,
Roving about in fear at the word of Enlil,
Took the tree in her hand, brought it to Erech:
"I shall bring it to pure Inanna's fruitful garden.'
 
The woman tended the tree with her hand, placed it by her foot,
Inanna tended the tree with her hand, placed it by her foot,
"When will it be a fruitful throne for me to sit on,' she said,
"When will it be a fruitful bed for me to lie on,' she said.
 
The tree grew big, its trunk bore no foliage,
In its roots the snake who knows no charm set up its nest,
In its crown the Imdugud-bird placed its young,
In its midst the maid Lilith built her house --
The always laughing, always rejoicing maid,
I, the maid Inanna, how I weep!"
. . .
this story also relates how inanna fashions a 'pukku' or the rod and ring of royal sovereignty from this tree. the tree is also the source of inanna's throne.
the tree motif crops up again in the underworld story, as we see on the wikipedia page about inanna linked above:
"They next came upon Dumuzi, Inanna's husband. Despite Inanna's fate, and in contrast to the other individuals who were properly mourning Inanna, Dumuzi was lavishly clothed and resting beneath a tree, or upon her throne, entertained by slave-girls. Inanna, displeased, decrees that the demons shall take him, using language which echoes the speech Ereshkigal gave while condemning her. Dumuzi is then taken to the underworld.
In other recensions of the story, Dumuzi tries to escape his fate, and is capable of fleeing the demons for a time, as the deities intervene and disguise him in a variety of forms. He is eventually found. However, Dumuzi's sister, out of love for him, begged to be allowed to take his place. It was then decreed that Dumuzi spent half the year in the underworld, and his sister take the other half. Inanna, displaying her typically capricious behavior, mourns his time in the underworld. This she reveals in a haunting lament of his deathlike absence from her, for "[he] cannot answer . . . [he] cannot come/ to her calling . . . the young man has gone."[32] Her own powers, notably those connected with fertility, subsequently wane, to return in full when he returns from the netherworld each six months. This cycle then approximates the shift of seasons." 
 

I found some other great info in a book called The Babylonian World
https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Babylonian_World.html?id=akYorRIWPBEC
on page 333 we can read the following: "Inanna first appears in the late fourth millenium as the patron deity of Uruk [iraq], the first urban centre on the Mesopotamian alluvium (Szarzynska 2000). The sign with which her name was written goes back to an archaic pictograph representing a gatepost with a volute finial"
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/1e/dd/9e/1edd9eca6fb30efbb9f4a160cd337b88.jpghttp://www.mesopotamiangods.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2b-offering-to-Inanna-towers-281x300.jpg       

(not to get ahead of myself, but just compare the 'volute finial' depicted above to the so called 'christian' bishop's staff called a 'croisier')

so, in a way, the symbol is that of a gateway, or door between the profane space and the precinct of the 'sacred prostitute'. these same are found outside of the mythical 'temple of solomon'Image result for entrance to the temple of solomon


as well as the pillars boaz and jachin of a masonic lodge,

 and the main entrance to mosques,

Image result for cathedral
 also of note in relation to this symbol is of course the 'ishtar gate' or eighth gate to the inner city of babylon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishtar_Gate
now, if my thesis is correct and the united states were actually consecrated to a babylonian goddess, we would expect to see something similar here, right? perhaps something that would be seen by, say, an immigrant entering the country, ishtar's sacred precinct might see. . .


Image result for statue of liberty between twin towers
 just a coincidence? probably not. keep in mind when this ishtar gate was destroyed, the course was set for the invasion of babylon (iraq), and the establishment of 'camp alpha' on the site of the babylonian ziggurat.

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/WORLD/meast/07/31/iraq.babylon.damage/art.babylon.gi.jpg
 but this is all pretty late in the babylon game; actually, the unity of american iconography with the babylonian goddess goes much deeper than that. America has 50 states, no more, no less, other areas are 'protectorates' or otherwise distiquished from 'states'. all the states are designated on a flag by pentagrams, sacred to this goddess, and we see reference to "Inanna's manifestation as the venus star and the designation of 50 me in association with inanna" (Ibid.)
The 'Me' is called 'tablet of destiny' and, like Inanna herself is said to confer sovereignty and the right to rule.
I'll let you chew on that a bit. This is not even beginning to scratch the surface of the babylon cult in US, but similar influence is seen worldwide in the many cults which are derived from this babylon system.

2. The egyptian cult of Isis (Aset)
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5tpMCqyhmI1FUYb1Js8b6MTgMjI737Goew2hEoyQ9SyMwaKN5Ns3eZBdjuOnRiyB7W5-curFjQnJXG70BlUAQ0BaijUd2hTOIm7k7vwwFYh0mh7ImxzUxox7uj6zKO71Qo4H3kjieoM/s1600/Osiris_qui_bande.gif

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis














"Isis (/ˈsɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶσις IPA: [îː.sis]; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset"[1]) is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. She was first worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco-Roman world. Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement, and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis." note the similarity between 'Aset' 'Ishtar' 'Astarte' 'Ashtaroth' 'Eostre' 'Esther' and 'Easter'.
 the hieroglyph for isis contains a pictograph of a throne, as it is she who is the basis for the power of the pharaoh and the resurrection of Osiris for the purpose of begetting an heir. never absent from this transaction is the descent of her spouse to the underworld, much as in the inanna/dumuzi mythos above. But the parallel goes further. Just as inanna's underworld cycle relates to the link between the tree, the rod/ring, and the throne of sovereignty, Isis' search for the body of Osiris takes her to byblos where she finds that his sarcophagus has sprouted into a tree. One version of the myth even mentions isis reclaiming the pillar from Astarte: http://www.egyptianmyths.net/mythisis.htm
"Seth and his companions took the chest which held the body of Osiris and cast it into the Nile; and Hapi the Nile-god carried it out into the Great Green Sea where it was tossed for many days until it came to the shore of Phoenicia near the city of Byblos. Here the waves cast it into a tamarisk tree that grew on the shore; and the tree shot out branches and grew leaves and flowers to make a fit resting place for the body of the good god Osiris and very soon that tree became famous throughout the land. Presently King Malcander heard of it, and he and his wife, Queen Astarte, came to the seashore to gaze at the tree. By now the branches had grown together and hidden the chest which held the body of Osiris in the trunk itself. King Malcander gave orders that the tree should be cut down and fashioned into a great pillar for his palace. This was done, and all wondered at its beauty and fragrance: but none knew that it held the body of a god. Meanwhile in Egypt Isis was in great fear. She had always known that Seth was filled with evil and jealousy, but kindly Osiris would not believe in his brother's wickedness. But Isis knew as soon as her husband was dead, though no one told her, and fled into the marshes of the delta carrying the baby Horus with her. She found shelter on a little island where the goddess Buto lived, and entrusted the divine child to her. And as a further safeguard against Seth, Isis loosed the island from its foundations, and let it float so that no one could tell where to find it.
Then she went to seek for the body of Osiris. For, until he was buried with all the needful rites and charms, even his spirit could go no farther to the west than Duat, the Testing-Place; and it could not come to Amenti.
Back and forth over the land of Egypt wandered Isis, but never a trace could she find of the chest in which lay the body of Osiris. She asked all whom she met, but no one had seen it - and in this matter her magic powers could not help her.
At last she questioned the children who were playing by the riverside, and at once they told her that just such a chest as she described had floated past them on the swift stream and out into the Great Green Sea.
Then Isis wandered on the shore, and again and again it was the children who had seen the chest floating by and told her which way it had gone. And because of this, Isis blessed the children and decreed that ever afterwards children should speak words of wisdom and sometimes tell of things to come.
At length Isis came to Byblos and sat down by the seashore. Presently the maidens who attended on Queen Astarte came down to bathe at that place; and when they returned out of the water Isis taught them how to plait their hair - which had never been done before. When they went up to the palace a strange and wonderful perfume seemed to cling to them; and Queen Astarte marveled at it, and at their plaited hair, and asked them how it came to be so.
The maidens told her of the wonderful woman who sat by the seashore, and Queen Astarte sent for Isis, and asked her to serve in the palace and tend her children, the little Prince Maneros and the baby Dictys, who was ailing sorely. For she did not know that the strange woman who was wandering alone at Byblos was the greatest of all the goddesses of Egypt. Isis agreed to this, and very soon the baby Dictys was strong and well though she did no more than give him her finger to suck. But presently she became fond of the child, and thought to make him immortal, which she did by burning away his mortal parts while she flew round and round him in the form of a swallow. Astarte, however, had been watching her secretly; and when she saw that her baby seemed to be on fire she rushed into the room with a loud cry, and so broke the magic.
Then Isis took on her own form, and Astarte crouched down in terror when she saw the shining goddess and learned who she was.
Malcander and Astarte offered her gifts of all the richest treasures in Byblos, but Isis asked only for the great tamarisk pillar which held up the roof, and for what it contained. When it was given to her, she caused it to open and took out the chest of Seth. But the pillar she gave back to Malcander and Astarte; and it remained the most sacred object in Byblos, since it had once held the body of a god."
 
so, again we see Isis and Astarte as variations on a recurring type--a goddess of magic and resurrection, but also ritual death. also note the occurence of both astarte and isis in a single myth, as well as the name of byblos (related to both 'babylon' and 'bible'). Speaking of which, that leads us to. . .

3. the Mariology of Rome

roman catholocism has always been pointed to as placing great emphasis on the iconography of mary in relation to other christian denominations. roman catholicism is also the clear intermediate step between the middle east and America. since we already covered the babylon-egypt continuity, let's start this section with the egypt-rome continuity. we saw that the tree/pillar, throne, and surrogate phallus of osiris (obelisk) were all important to the mythic resurection goddess thread we are looking at. consider this:
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obelisk
 "The Ancient Romans were strongly influenced by the obelisk form, to the extent that there are now more than twice as many obelisks standing in Rome as remain in Egypt. All fell after the Roman period except for the Vatican obelisk and were re-erected in different locations.
The largest standing and tallest Egyptian obelisk is the Lateran Obelisk in the square at the west side of the Lateran Basilica in Rome at 105.6 feet (32.2 m) tall and a weight of 455 tons.[8]
Not all the Egyptian obelisks in the Roman Empire were set up at Rome. Herod the Great imitated his Roman patrons and set up a red granite Egyptian obelisk in the hippodrome of his new city Caesarea in northern Judea. This one is about 40 feet (12 m) tall and weighs about 100 tons.[9] It was discovered by archaeologists and has been re-erected at its former site.
In Constantinople, the Eastern Emperor Theodosius shipped an obelisk in AD 390 and had it set up in his hippodrome, where it has weathered Crusaders and Seljuks and stands in the Hippodrome square in modern Istanbul. This one stood 95 feet (29 m) tall and weighing 380 tons. Its lower half reputedly also once stood in Istanbul but is now lost. The Istanbul obelisk is 65 feet (20 m) tall.[10]
Rome is the obelisk capital of the world. The most well-known is probably the 25 metres (82 ft), 331-ton obelisk at Saint Peter's Square in Rome.[8] The obelisk had stood since AD 37 on its site on the wall of the Circus of Nero, flanking St Peter's Basilica"

despite looking at this page expecting to find connections i could use in this post, i was unaware of an important connection; i did not expect to see this there:
 "An obelisk (UK: /ˈɒbəlɪsk/; US: /ˈɑːbəlɪsk/, from Ancient Greek: ὀβελίσκος obeliskos;[1][2] diminutive of ὀβελός obelos, "spit, nail, pointed pillar"[3]) is a tall, four-sided, narrow tapering monument which ends in a pyramid-like shape or pyramidion at the top. These were originally called "tekhenu" by the builders, the Ancient Egyptians."
that reminded me of a greek word i knew:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekt%C5%8Dn
"The Ancient Greek noun tektōn (τέκτων) is a common term for an artisan/craftsman, in particular a carpenter or wood-worker or builder. The term is frequently contrasted with an iron-worker, or smith (χαλκεύς) and the stone-worker or mason (λιθολόγος),[1]. . .

http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN16130/AN1613054434_l.jpg

well, we know 'masons' in the us were very keen to build a 666 foot obelisk in washington DC (111 feet of it are underground).
'ho tekton' is the phrase used in the new testament (Mark 6:3) to describe the profession of joseph.
 so we see the possibility that Joseph, and Jesus in the biblical acount might have been not 'carpenters' but  makers of 'tekhenu' and possibly had the 'tekhenu'ology of building obelisks. if we accept the concept that an obelisk is a symbol of the surrogate phallus of Osiris, and that joseph and mary go egypt (described in the book of Matthew chapter 2 verses 13-19). did joseph fashion the surrogate phallus that impregnated mary with jesus?! we know he was not the biological father, according to tradition. what were they doing in egypt?
this is a long story that i will not get into here, but many have speculated that jesus is symbolized by a fish because it was a fish that swallowed the missing phallus of Osiris after his body was dismembered. there are a slew of researchers that have concluded this to be the case and that, in fact, the biblical 'jews' who fled from egypt were actually the exiled followers of Akhenaten. this exodus is then repeated as joseph and mary return from egypt after herod dies.
Inanna and Isis have been depicted as a bird in connection with this power of resurrection, and in christian theology christ is anointed by the holy spirit in the form of a dove, which is a member of the family 'Columbidae'. is this why there is a giant spirit-phallus in the district of Columbia?
Horus/Christ/Hiram Abiff  is the original Widow's Son of freemasonry, concieved in a death/resurection ritual. Mary anoints christ with spikenard before his crucifiction. three Maries attend the crucifixion. Mary Magdalene is the first to see the resurrected Christ. what is being said indicated here? just as in the older myths i have described we see the prominence of the same symbols in the case of christ: 1. the mother/"prostitute" with the same name surround jesus, Salome a licentious woman that requests the beheading of jesus' teacher john the baptist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome. A tree/pillar in the form of the cross, and a magical resurrection attended before and after by the presence of three women with the same name, which may in fact stem from the egyptian 'merit' as in Meritaten, and also Migdol/Magdalene.

Speaking of which, between the States of VIRGINia and MARYland once stood a catholic jesuit commune called 'Rome'. today that land is called Washington DC

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15558a.htm
" As settlements advanced up the country from lower Maryland, a fair proportion of those who acquired land in what is now the District were Catholics. In 1669 "a parcell of land. . .called Rome. . .was layd out of Francis Pope. . .extending to the south of an inlet called Tiber"; this gentleman, "Pope of Rome on the Tiber", was sheriff of Charles County, and, in all probability, a Catholic. . . . the faithful depended for spiritual aid on the Jesuit Fathers from White Marsh, Prince George's County, or St. Thomas' Manor, Charles County. Stations were visited and Mass was celebrated in private houses, a room being set aside for the purpose, the neighbours being invited. An interesting collection of vestments, altar furnishings, chalices etc., relics of those stations and memorials of the old Jesuit missions, is preserved in the museum of Georgetown College."

so, in fact, your 'secular democracy' has it's seat of power in a place that was once called 'Rome' and owned by Mr. Pope. . .coincidence?

this is a deep, deep topic, which i can not really deal with at length here. what i will say is that all the talk about the 'illuminati' is a diversion and a front because the 'illuminati' was created and is maintained to this day by the jesuit order. Both the head of Hitler's secret police and top men in the OSS/CIA have said that they owe credit for their basic organizational structure to the jesuits.

“The SS had been organized by Himmler according to the principles of the Jesuit Order. The rules of service and spiritual exercises prescribed by Ignatius de Loyola constituted a model which Himmler strove carefully to copy. Absolute obedience was the supreme rule; every order had to be executed without comment.” Edmond Paris – The Vatican Against Europe (p 252-253)
Hitler did not award the palm of Jesuitism to his chief of propaganda, though to the Gestapo’s chief, as he told his favourites: “I can see Himmler as our Ignatius of Loyola”Adolf Hitler: “Libres propos” (Flammarion, Paris 1952, p.164) Edmond Paris – The Secret History of the Jesuits
here's a quote from an interview with CIA officer E. Howard Hunt

“We always said in an admiring way, that the Jesuits have formed the greatest intelligence service in the world, always have.”

Since this Rome segment of the post is dealing with christian iconography, i want to include the Christmas Tree concept here, even if it is not Roman at all. Briefly, this is again reference to the tamarisk tree that sprouted from the coffin of Osiris (found in Byblos Lebanon where the modern flag features a tree) as well as the babylonian huluppu tree, effectively tying all three stories in a nice little package.
to bring it back to how america relates to rome's embracing of babylonian symbolism, consider the statue atop the capitol building in DC:

first of all she is named after a roman goddess https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertas , she is crowned by a bird of prey, recalling the iconography of inanna and isis, she is adorned by many venus pentagrams, and she is facing east to the 'morning star' lucifer/venus, she is surmounting a base decorated with roman emblems (fasciae and the laurel wreaths of roman fascism and the hallucinogen of choice of the sibyls https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibyl) . . .all of these amount to occult religious attributions of prior fascist theocracies, yet this supposedly adorns the seat of american democracy.

I couldn't hope to make this an exhaustive catalog of all the supporting evidence for the thesis, but this is just an introductory effort to broach the possibility that all of the religions that are carving up the globe are actually just flavors of babylon, and that the deviant antics of the illuminist/masonic factions that run the finances and governments of the world are actually totally consistent with their insane and bizarre mythos of human sacrifice out of which they arise. they are following a very clear playbook of ritual murder and bizarre sex practices that stem from the ancient religions they enshrine. if you are willing to entertain these possibilities, the bizarre nature of current events, and the murderous history of our country can emerge from the haze of cognitive dissonance that arises by believing America is a secular democracy instead of an occult theocracy. until that psychological block can be breached, and the religions of the modern world seen for what they are, no change is possible, and the mutually assured destruction of the illuminati/atonist/babylonian dialectic will be played out exactly as their Apocalypse/Revelation script has designed it to. I think averting it is possible by facing the truth, at least on an individual basis. it starts with you.

more to come. . .
