Today’s Quote
“We…cited the propagation of the Theory of Evolution in fashioning the Cryptocracy’s degraded ‘New Man.’ In the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Evolutionism's high priest, Harvard Professor Stephen J. Gould used atomic terminology to refer to the ruins of the Trade Center as ‘Ground Zero,’ and to make reference to ‘the largest human structure ever destroyed in a catastrophic moment.’ Gould’s arcane ‘Ground Zero’ cue…leads us to a key dictum of atomic physics, the point at which Merlin meets Einstein: ‘Time relations among events are assumed to be first constituted by the specific physical relations obtaining between them.’
“This dictum is Camelot arcana restated in scientific jargon, thereby making it more palatable to the post-modern mentality that would scoff at Merlin but embrace Einstein. The underlying principle is the same, however: to orient us to the space-time conjunction necessary to the maintenance of the once-and-future inevitability of the Cryptocracy’s Camelot allegory.
“Gould’s imagery recalls that other ‘largest human structure ever destroyed in a catastrophic moment,’ the Tower of Babel…The apocalyptic age, the 21 hazard era, came…in Year One of the final millennium, at the 21st century gateway which is the 2(00)1 space (time) odyssey to the greatest battlefield of all, the cosmic war between alien scale and human scale, between the anti-Christ reign of number and the Holy Spirit realm of poetic serendipity.”
The Alchemical Crucible
Before the 9/11 terror with its number five pentagon and number sixteen Tarot card could be played, prima materia had to be made manifest at the Jornada del Muerto in New Mexico, the ‘King of Camelot’ sacrificed in Dealey Plaza, Texas and the Holy Trinity replaced by atomic Trinity sight originating in the Land of Enchantment.

In place of Christ’s 33 years on earth we were given a new gospel, the 33rd degree of parallel latitude where the creation and destruction of primordial matter was supposedly brought forth.
The Processed Temple constructed the Processed Man. What was abominable and shocking a decade or two ago is now nothing remarkable. There is populist bluster and fulmination yet the subconscious belief that the Process is inevitable vitiates sustained protest, collapsing resistance in the fullness of time, leaving only rhetorical wind and podcast-bombast, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
In the Age of Trump the Making Manifest of What is Hidden takes form in barber shops and breakfast joints where it is increasingly understood that it “doesn’t matter who you elect as president, nothing really changes.” Trump’s gold-plated presidency has added to the nearly $40-trillion national debt, served as the first American government to take the Israeli bait and bomb Iran, added to the inflation sparked by the Biden-era Federal Reserve Bank’s “quantitative easing” (an anodyne for printing money and devaluing the currency). Each of these disasters propels our quality of life (beginning with health care which the middle class cannot afford), to new lows.
The dissolution is incremental, until it isn’t. July 16, 1945, November 22, 1963, September 11, 2001. In between and in the aftermath of the red letter catastrophes of those time relations, the Once-and-Future alchemy is in plutonium play. The Egyptian death cult is having its damned day.
"Ten measures of witchcraft descended into the world; Egypt received nine, the rest of the world one."
— Babylonian Talmud, Kiddushin 49b
When Howard Carter opened King Tut’s tomb in 1922 the most fantastic examples of artistic brilliance were found to be reserved entirely for death. The viral message spread from that crypt. It is not a coincidence that in its wake the West’s two funerary rites, abortion and contraception, increased to such an extent that they have since combined to form a graveyard of planetary proportions — the two being as unthinkable six or seven decades ago as two others more recently accepted— ‘gay’ marriage and the media-endorsed “trans” conflation of humans possessed of xy and xx chromosomes.
Thus, four funerary rites have been established in an America governed by secret societies and religious cults whose gnosis is derived from the state religion of the pharaohs.
“Kālo’smi loka-kṣaya-kṛt pravṛddho lokān samāhartum iha pravṛttaḥ | ṛte’pi tvāṁ na bhaviṣyanti sarve ye’vasthitāḥ pratyanīkeṣu yodhāḥ”
(“I am become death, the shatterer of worlds”)
—Spoken by J. Robert Oppenheimer, “father of the atomic bomb,” quoting from the Sanskrit scripture Bhagavad Gita, as he watched the mushroom cloud ascend. (The Gita is “an epic argument persuading a warrior to engage in a…particularly brutal, lawless, internecine war”). Oppenheimer is said to be responsible for code-naming the detonation site, “Trinity.”
When the bomb was detonated just before dawn on July 16, desert inhabitants witnessed what they thought was the sun rising in the west, heralding the Second Coming.
To utter the hackneyed cliché, “the world would never be the same” is an understatement too Brobdingnagian to grok.
The Sun Rose Twice
Brig. Gen. Thomas Farrell: “The lighting effects beggared description. The whole country was lighted by a searing light with the intensity many times that of the midday sun.”
Dr. Phillip Morrison: “Suddenly, not only was there a bright light but where we were, 10 miles away, there was the heat of the sun on our faces....Then, only minutes later, the real sun rose and again you felt the same heat to the face from the sunrise. So we saw two sunrises.”
U.S. Army Trinity Site brochure: “In September 1945 press tours to the site started. One of the famous photos of ground zero shows Groves and Oppenheimer surrounded by a small group of reporters as they examine one of the footings to the 100-foot tower on which the bomb was placed. That picture was taken Sept. 11.”
A revelatory progression? Christopher Nolan filmed the biography Oppenheimer, in 2023. His next movie was The Odyssey centered on the apokalypsis of Odysseus. In Greek apokalypsis denotes revelation.
Matthew J. Bell asks:
Did Trinity Awaken the Prima Materia?
“In the first installment of Jim Brandon’s important Sirius Rising recordings, the inimitable James Shelby Downard can be heard to use a phrase (that sounded like) “Genie Zorro” (or, possibly, ‘Genie Zaro’). Of course, this was in the context of a sweeping discussion of the American Southwest, including the U.S. state of New Mexico, location of the Trinity Site, where the world’s first atomic bomb was detonated.
“…Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ retold the physics of that morning for a new audience, right down to its title character’s now-famous citation of the Bhagavad Gita…
“Less discussed is Nolan’s other casting choice — Matt Damon as Gen. Leslie Groves, the same officer who, as a colonel, had just overseen construction of the five-sided Pentagon, begun on September 11, 1941.
“In his (Downard’s) worldview, words, names, and geographic locations exude or are imbued with esoteric significance.
“ In classical Roman mythology, there is such a thing as a Genius Loci…the ‘spirit of a place’…tied to a specific geographic area. On the Sirius Rising tapes, Downard and Brandon discussed the possibility that an occult network (what Michael A. Hoffman later called the ‘Cryptocracy’) had not only created weapons in the American Southwest, but weaponized the genius loci itself.
“British novelist David Herbert ‘D. H.’ Lawrence got there first, using the identical term. Of the Valley of Mexico, in The Plumed Serpent, he wrote flatly that ‘the spirit of place was cruel, down-dragging, destructive” — he indicts the genius loci itself, not merely the men passing through it.’
“His companion piece, ‘The Woman Who Rode Away,’ pushes the idea to its logical (and gruesome) end: a white woman ridden into the Sierra Madre and laid on stone to be sacrificed to the sun, so an old solar order can reassert itself over a Southwest that has gone soft with newcomers. Lawrence arrived at this by novelist’s instinct in the 1920s; Downard and Hoffman would later chart the same ground as a psy-op.
“The desert terrain of the Southwest is, in a sense, an alchemical crucible. To have detonated the world’s first atomic bomb in such a place — a veritable ‘cosmic graveyard’ — and along the 33rd-degree line of parallel latitude, amounted to the performing of dark magic during a massive, open-air ritual.”
The Desert Southwest as a Cosmic Graveyard
Matthew J. Bell refers to the desert Southwest as a cosmic graveyard. It is also home to deposits of natron, a.k.a. natrun, a naturally occurring mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na₂CO₃·10H₂O), sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. In ancient Egypt natron was a primary ingredient in the preparation of human bodies for mummification— packed in natron for weeks.
In the “Pyramid Texts” of the Old Kingdom (2350-2175 B.C.) epithets and spells link the West with the land of the dead. (Cf. Alfred Wiedemann, The Realms of the Egyptian Dead [1902]; and Raymond O. Faulkner, The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts [Oxford University, 2 volumes, 1969]).
Referring in The Plumed Serpent to the American continent, using “America” as shorthand for the southwest, with Mexico as the primary setting and focus, D.H. Lawrence perceived its genius loci as wholly negative:
And sometimes she wondered whether America really was the great death-continent, the great No! to the European and Asiatic and even African Yes! Was it really the great melting pot, where men from the creative continents were smelted back again, not to a new creation, but down into the homogeneity of death? Was it the great continent of the undoing, and all its peoples the agents of the mystic destruction!
“…men from the creative continents were smelted back again, not to a new creation, but down into the homogeneity of death.” This is a description of the process of human alchemy which Mr. Bell and this writer continue to investigate, and which Messers Downard and Brandon pioneered.
