So. The crucifixion. And the resurrection. A story, a myth, or an ideal or a foundation-stone of faith, that has exerted an almost unparalleled power over generations, societies, and millions and millions of people for almost two-thousand years. Did it happen? No one knows. No one will ever know. Even if it did happen, what […]
A recent announcement in the press says an ancient ring found in Bethlehem ‘belonged to the man who crucified Jesus’. The man they refer to is actually the Prefect or Governor, Pontius Pilate – so, strictly speaking, not ‘the man crucified Jesus’, but the man who okayed the crucifixion. The article also added the caveat […]
The Lockerbie bombing in 1988 was perhaps the 9/11 of its time: and today marks 30 years since it happened. While it didn’t result in the kind of phony Global ‘War on Terror’ that was conducted after 9/11, it did give the US and Britain the platform for beginning a targeted downfall of a particular […]
100 years ago, the First World War was a devastating conflict in which many millions of people lost their lives and in which the political, social and even geographical state of the world was changed forever. But, far from being the “war to end all wars”, the consequences of World War I are very much […]
At this time, there are no doubt scores of World War I articles and expositions being published right now. But I also want to talk about one of the more famous cultural homages to the First World War – the fourth and final series of the classic British series Blackadder; and in particular its famous […]
The recent anniversary of 9/11 got me thinking about some of the ongoing oddities around the World Trade Center attack. It also got me thinking about various interesting connections in elite circles, New York real estate, the Trump era and how it relates to the ongoing psy-op of the post-9/11 world we all woke up […]
It has of course been clear for a long time that the Trump presidency is very much in bed with the Netanyahu government in Israel. If it hadn’t already been obvious, the Jerusalem declaration very much confirmed it. Like the Jerusalem declaration, Trump’s abandonment of the JCPOA has also been largely condemned by traditional American […]
Official British events to mark the centennary of the Balfour Declaration could be seen as questionable, to say the least. Theresa May’s commitment to the commemorations were promised to Benjamin Netanyahu some time ago – regardless of the fact that the it will leave a bitter taste in the mouths of many or that we’re […]
The riddle of the Roman ‘ghost legions’ is one of the most fascinating anomalies or urban legends around, particularly in Britain. As it’s that time of the year, I want to briefly come back into this area – particularly for how the mystery of the spectral legions can also lead us into questions about the […]
Mainstream and online media outlets have been pouring over the release of thousands of documents pertaining to the JFK assassination. But the result, near as I can tell, appears to be that we’ve learnt a great deal – and nothing at all. And this was probably how it was meant to be. Although the files […]
