Shills, Spooks, and Sufis in the service of Empire: The Case of the Maryamiyyah

The following is an augmented version of an article that was originally published by CounterPunch on 2 November 2016. The piece was subsequently taken down by its editor in chief only eight days later on 10 November 2016 after a veiled threat of a lawsuit made in email by a former Bloomingtonian member of the Maryamiyyah Sufi Order to CounterPunch. Instead of properly investigating the matter and vetting the article with an attorney suitably informed of the facts — not to mention while co...

Adolph Hitler: Agent of the Round Table

The Round Table were responsible for orchestrating World War I, to free Palestine from control of the Ottoman Empire, which was then granted by Round Table member and British Prime Minister Lord Balfour, in what is known as the Balfo...

Ann Coulter: Radical Punk Performance Artist

Ann Coulter is not a real conservative. She’s a one-woman stunt. In other words, Coulter is as Chris Sosa described quite convincingly in Salon as a “particularly unique brand of polemic performance artist, some would say satirist.” He further explained, "Alongside creatives like Ai Weiwei and Marina Abramović, Coulter — by creating a character so stupid that she can't be real — has become one of the greatest artists of our time."

Robert Johnson: Father of Rock ‘n Roll Famous for Selling His Soul to the Devil

It is a well-known fact that so-called rock ‘n roll music is greatly influenced by blues. But more specifically, rock music of the 60s and later was heavily influenced by the music of a blues musician who was known to have sold his soul to the devil for his supposed musical talent. Known as Robert Johnson, his recordings in 1936 and 1937 are thought to display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting that has influenced many famous rock musicians, including Bob Dylan, Eric Cl...

Global Mind: Transhumanism, Freemasonry and the Internet as God

It could be said that transhumanism is Freemasonry for the technological age. But Freemasonry forged the technological age. In effect, the history of modern times is the efforts of an occult underground led by Freemasons and other occult secret societies, who represented their agenda as “science” pitted against “religion.” Freemasonry is founded on the belief that magic empowers man to become “like a god.” Their goal is to harness the powers of nature, both known (real science) and hidden (o...

Synarchism and the War on Islam

The conspiracy is not communist or fascist, it is synarchist. The synarchist conspiracy, however, manipulating both ends of the political spectrum, cultivates fear of the threat of “communism” to advance the cause of a fascist economic philosophy known as neoliberalism. By denouncing “Big Government,” they call for the transfer to public property to private corporations, and the enslavement of the world to their banking system, under the guise of the World Bank and the IMF.

Salafism, the CIA and the Distortion of “Jihad”

The world is being divided into a new Cold War, between the West and Islam, presented as a “Clash of Civilizations”, based on the assumption that Islam is a belligerent religion. Given that there are clear verses in the Quran commanding the Muslims to “kill the unbelievers wherever you find them”, doubters are caught in a debate where critics and fundamentalists alike appeal to those verses, and conversely, where moderates or apologists and Western liberals, argue that Islam is a “peaceful r...

Gladio and the Occult

Although it referred to specifically the Italian branch, the name Gladio was applied to a network of fascist terrorist groups employed by the CIA and NATO. Known as “stay-behind” units, their purported purpose was to resist a Soviet invasion from within. Instead, they were mainly employed in carrying out violent acts of terrorism, known in Italy as the “Strategy of Tension,” which were falsely blamed on communist groups to undermine the influence of the Left in various parts of Europe.

Comics and the Occult

Occultists have infiltrated and greatly influenced many aspects of popular culture, from Hollywood to popular music, but the clearest articulation of their influence is to be found in the world of comic books, where it has contributed to a nihilism which results in homoerotic interpretations of masculinity and the gross objectification of women.
Along with its enduring association with science fiction, no idea better embodies the absurd aspirations of transhumanism than the superhero. The s...

Eustace Mullins: Occultist and Disinfo Agent of the Far-Right

Among the modern-day classics of conspiracy literature is Eustace Mullins’ Secrets of the Federal Reserve, which continues to define perceptions of the nature and purpose of the cabal that is currently suspected of secretly manipulating the world. However, as revealed in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, conspiracy culture is often deliberately manipulated in order to call out and neutralize potential dissidents.
