There Will Be Blood: New, Black Light on Strange Love

5,985 words

Gen. Turgidson: Ahem . . . The Duty Officer asked General Ripper to confirm the fact that he had issued the go code, and he said, uh, “Yes gentlemen, they are on their way in, and nobody can bring them back . . . God willing, we will prevail, in peace and freedom from fear, and in true health, through the purity and essence of our natural . . . fluids. God bless you all.” And he hung up. [Pause] Uh, we’re. . . still trying to figure out the meaning of that last phrase, sir.

“The Juwes are the men who will not be accused of nothing”—Jack the Ripper

Christmas season has come and gone, and we all know what that meant: time for famous Jews to take to the airwaves to celebrate Hanukkah!

On WQXR in New York (of course), Yitzak Perlman invited us to join him in a rebroadcast of his traditional end of the year “radio party,” where he and friends will be “celebrating the defense of Freedom” (I imagine it’s capitalized).

As Vince Vega would say, that’s one way to put it. Another way would be to celebrate the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire in second-century BC Palestine, triggered by a ban on sucking baby dick blood.

But why was baby dick blood so important to the Jews, and what does that have to do with Dr. Strangelove? Be patient, dear readers, for therein hangs a tale.

Gp Capt. Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen. . . tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first. . . become . . . well, develop this theory?

Gen. Ripper: Well, I, uh. . . I. . . I. . . first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.

Gp Capt. Mandrake: Hmm.

Constant Readers will recall that in “From Odd John to Strange Love” I explored some curious details, involving what Gen. Ripper would call “the physical act of love,” that I don’t recall being commonly discussed, or perhaps only briefly alluded to, but which when seen can’t be unseen.

Most of the characters in the film are involved in some kind of sexual disfunction or at least paraphilia. Though the survival kits provide for “a pretty good weekend in Vegas,” the B-52 is rendered impotent by the malfunction of the bomb bay doors, until Maj. Kong manages to open them and is rewarded with a bronco-ride on the phallic missile, right down to Ground Zero. Gen. Turgidson is called away from a motel room rendezvous with his secretary, advising her not to worry, just start her countdown and he’ll be “back before you can say ‘Blast off!’” A promise that will be unfulfilled.^[1] Col. “Bat” Guano shoots a soda machine to get change for Mandrake’s call to the White House and is rewarded with a Coca-Cola facial. And as for the titular Dr. Strangelove, as Doomsday approaches, his right arm begins to throw stiff-armed Roman salutes as a he outlines a postwar survival plan that will require the lucky few to “breed prodigiously,” and ultimately he rises from his wheelchair, standing erect before his Fuhrer, before a cut to a climactic montage of atomic explosions, each with the iconic mushroom cloud.[2]

Now before anyone squawks, remember, this is a Kubrick movie. Everything, every detail, however small, is there for a reason. As in the magical universe, there are no accidents.[3] Why is Wendy reading Catcher in the Rye? Why does Jack call Caretaker Grady “Delbert” when Ullman told him about a “Charles” Grady?[4]

Now, to continue the cinematic talk, time for a jump cut, or perhaps a montage, as in The Godfather’s famous baptism sequence, or the training montage in an 80s action flick.

Constant Readers will also be aware of my interest in Neville Goddard, a mid-century mystic more popular now than ever in present time where his recordings fill the internet,[5] as well as the obscure Christian apocalyptic cult leader, Brother Stair, whose 24/7 broadcasts of weirdness were a legend among shortwave buffs. What the reader likely does not know is the secret connection between the two, which I shall now reveal: the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, or more particularly, the scriptures uniquely canonized and preserved by this body, arguably the original Christian denomination.[6]

Neville’s teacher was the man known only as “Abdullah,” described most often simply as a “black, Ethiopian rabbi,” who taught Neville, along with many others, the lore of Hebrew, Kabbalah, and the Bible (as a psychological guide) in New York City during the 1930s.[7] While Brother Stair, an otherwise totally different figure, found inspiration in the Book of Enoch, preserved only by the Ethiopians.[8]

All of which makes me quite willing to accept the idea that works like the Book of Enoch and Book of Jubilees were left out of the canon of later churches not for failing some test of authenticity, but quite the contrary: because they revealed too much; as Wikipedia concisely puts it:

Enoch contains unique material on the origins of demons and Nephilim [“giants” sired on human females by the angelic “Watchers”], why some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Genesis flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.[9]

Enoch is simultaneously both a spin-off, fanfic or “extended universe” novel based on Genesis,[10] as well as the bible, the official backstory of a TV series or movie franchise, of the Bible.[11]

***

So, what’s Enoch all about?[12] Basically, Enoch supplies most of the major narrative elements of Judaism and its heretical offshoot, Christianity, from Genesis—the snake in the Garden bringing knowledge, rebel angels, heavenly beings mating with earthly women to produce Giants, a genocidal flood to wipe them out, troublesome survivors like Nimrod and Goliath, visions of great beasts such as Behemoth and Leviathan, and so on—to Revelation—release of imprisoned fallen angels, final battles, the Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in the Sun, final Judgement, a burning lake of fire, reign of the Messiah, etc. Basically, everything anyone but a Bible nerd remembers.

All of which is pretty clearly derived from or inspired by—ripped off, in short—from the two great cycles of primal Greek mythology, the War of the Titans (Titanomachy) and the later War of the Giants (Gigantomachy). The Hebrews combined the two into one narrative, but more importantly—and typically Jewish—they inverted the values of the original—a transvaluation of pagan values, if you will. [13]

Thus, while the Titan Prometheus creates mankind and teaches them the useful arts, then gives them fire to save them from the genocidal wrath of the jealous Zeus, in the Hebrew story the just Yahweh creates mankind, but then they are corrupted by the rebel angels (the Watchers), who teach them the arts of love and war, and the spawn of their mating with human females (the Nephilim, or “fallen ones”) are powerful and evil giants that Yahweh must exterminate with water—the Flood.[14]

Basically, the useful gift of knowledge is retconned as the source of corruption and sin.

At the hinge between testaments we have the historical event of the Maccabean rebellion, sparked by the occupying Greeks banning circumcision (wait for it!), during which the Book of Enoch was produced to provide divine sanction for the rebellion by identifying the Greeks with the Titans—they carry the blood of the Titans and must be opposed to the point of genocide—and providing the explanation for why circumcision is worth dying for.

So, what does this have to do with bodily fluids. . . and Strangelove? All this—the revaluation of Greek chthonic mythology—supplies the backstory to the basic motivation and practices of first Judaism and then Christianity; like any scam, they set up the Problem and provide the Solution. The fundamental ritual of Judaism, the very covenant with YHVH, is circumcision, which allows the Logos to enter and fight the bad Titan blood (ask E. Michael Jones about that sometime).[15] And Christianity expands that idea to worthy gentiles (who otherwise are tainted with Titan blood and damned) by washing them in the blood of Jesus.[16]

This is all nicely laid out in Rurik Christwalker’s series on Enoch and the Titanomachy; in particular, episode IV. For our immediate purposes, let’s just look at the Judaic Take-away and the Christian Extension.

The Judaic Take-away:

Put simply: the Jews believed that circumcision kept the evil pagan spirits of the Nephilim at bay. See Jubilees 15:26-27: “For the command [to circumcise] is ordained for a covenant . . . so that the children of Israel may not be defiled by unclean spirits and demons.”

Here the argument is that uncircumcised males are vulnerable to the spirits and demons of the Nephilim and that circumcision confers magical protection!

We also have explicit Qumran versions of Genesis that state this: “Abraham was delivered from the power of the evil spirits by the covenant [circumcision] God established with him.” (1Q20 / Genesis Apocryphon)

You have it in the Talmud as well! “As long as a child is uncircumcised, he is in danger, for evil spirits accost him.” (Tanhuma, Tazria 5)

And again: “Why is the child circumcised on the eighth day? Because until then the evil spirits have power over him.” (Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer 29)

And finally, we have the infamous Zipporah Incident from the Torah itself. That’s the story where some spirit of Yahweh decides to randomly kill Moses and he is only saved when his wife cuts the penis tip of their son off and smears the blood over Moses’ penis to create a magical barrier around them that Yahweh can’t breach.

In sum, circumcision was worth fighting for, because to these chicken-swinging Middle Easterners that Ben Shapiro thinks “invented Western civilization,” it was literally a matter of spiritual life and death:

They actually believed that the ban on penis mutilation was literally a daimonic, spiritual, pagan attack by the Nephilim spirits on their people! Without that practice, they would be at the mercy of the earth spirits that inhabit Terra. No baby penis blood = no magical force field to protect them from the Titans!

But before we gentile moderns get too smug, consider Paul’s Christian Extension:

Now, how do you extend this spiritual protection from the spirits of Terra to gentile converts who have joined Paul’s Judaism?

The problem is that literally no gentile wanted anything to do with this holy and moral practice. They refused to cut their penis tips off, and that was the main means of spiritual defense used by the Jews against the pagan spirits of the Nephilim. It was the most sacred act in their entire religion. In fact, as I argue in this series of essays, the entire purpose of Judaism, and by extension Judeo-Christianity, is to continue the war described in the Titanomachy and Gigantomachy against the spirits of the Fallen Watchers and the Nephilim. This is done through blood magic, primarily through the mutilation of penis tips.

Paul is forced to use linguistics to wordsmith his way out of a theological conundrum. He eventually simply tells Christians that Jesus’ blood is able to inoculate them against the evil spirits wandering the earth in the same way that baby penis blood had for the Jews. Paul claims that belief in Christ is enough to elicit a kind of spiritual mutilation which bestows the same protection. Christian gentiles have, theologically speaking, been spiritually “circumcised in the heart” by Jesus.

See Romans 2:29: “But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.”

Or Colossians 2:11—12: “In him you were circumcised with a circumcision not made by hands. . . by the circumcision of Christ.”

So, imagine the following picture.

When a rabbi performs a bris, after cutting off the baby’s penis tip, he sucks the blood that comes out. This is called metzitzah b’peh and this is what the holy people in the holy book were doing to their children and what they continue to do to this day. Now, with Gentile Christian converts, this same process is now occurring spiritually.

So keep that in mind for the next time some Christian asks if you have been washed in the blood of the Lamb.

I advise you to read through all five parts of this detailed tour of Greek mythology and the Jewish counter-tradition. Towards the end, however, I came across a comment that sent me reeling back to the movie theater:

Paul’s argument is crude and clever and somehow centered entirely around bodily fluids—how stereotypically Chosen, no?[17]My point here is that [the] whole Judaic approach to spirituality revolves around body fluids. Whether it be blood, which they erroneously believe contains their spirits and souls and their god all in one. [See my previous essay.] Whether it be the metaphors that they use for spiritual matters—holy sperm, virgin wombs, and sacred castration essentially.

Cazart! Was this the key to Strangelove, staring us in the face all this time?

***

Dr. Strangelove presents itself as a satire of the crazy world of the goyim, implicitly in need of Tikkun Olam. In reality, it is a projection of the Jews’ own fluidic worldview. Just as Enoch inverts the mythology of the Greeks, so Strangelove inverts the theme of fluid obsession, attributing it to the tainted blood of the goyim.[18]

Indeed, all the Promethean scientific achievements of the goyim displayed throughout the film—from the opening scenes of refueling B-52’s, to the closing apocalyptic montage of mushroom clouds—are deadly evils to the Jewish imagination. And in Strangelove they turn on their purported masters and bring them to their doom, Golem-like, in an inverted tech singularity.

It’s a fairly common trope, before and after Strangelove, informing both the Terminator and Matrix franchises, regarding technology, while the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings franchises extend the critique to the forbidding of knowledge as such.[19]

So let’s take another, fluid-wise look at two of the main characters.

***

Gp Capt. Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen . . . tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first . . . become. . . well, develop this theory?

Gen. Ripper is allowed to explain his odd theory of fluids, but only because being good brainwashed normies, “we know” that it’s just a cover-up for the “real” explanation, sexual dysfunction. Fluoride was the COVID of its time, and then as now, concern about it tended to be coded as “right wing” or specifically, anti-Communist. The connection seems strained here but historically it was associated with the John Birch Society, which would lead the audience to think of “extreme” anti-Communism.

The John Birch Society, founded in 1958 by Robert W. Welch Jr., was known for promoting conspiracy theories, including the claim that water fluoridation was a communist plot. The society alleged that fluoride in drinking water was part of a Moscow-directed mind-control scheme aimed at weakening the American population. This belief was echoed by other far-right and extremist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.

Despite this contingent link, then as now skepticism of the “official story” manifests on the Left as well, as we see today with RFK Junior. [20] Nevertheless, the whole thing is just a distraction; it’s not the goyim who are obsessed with bodily fluids, but the Jews, portrayed here by their synecdoche, the Communists (aka ethnic Bolsheviks). That’s the real cover-up.

There’s kind of a retroactive clue here in the general’s comical name; for indeed, unbeknownst to Kubrick et. al., but knownst to us, his famous namesake was a Polish Jew, providing vibrancy in Victorian England. As AI tells us:

Aaron Kosminski, a Polish Jewish immigrant born Aron Mordke Kozmiński in 1865 in Kłodawa, Congress Poland (then part of the Russian Empire), is the most prominent suspect in the Jack the Ripper case. He emigrated to England with his family in 1881 and lived in the East End of London, specifically in Mile End Old Town and Whitechapel, where the murders occurred in 1888. Kosminski worked as a barber and was identified as a suspect by police at the time, with Chief Inspector Donald Swanson noting him as a “low-class Polish Jew” in his notes, and Assistant Chief Constable Sir Melville Macnaghten describing him as having “a great hatred of women. . . with strong homicidal tendencies.” In 2014, author Russell Edwards claimed to have used DNA evidence from a blood-stained shawl belonging to victim Catherine Eddowes to match Kosminski’s genetic profile through a descendant of his sister, asserting a 99.2% match on the first strand and a perfect 100% match on the second. This claim has been supported by recent reports in 2025, which reaffirm Kosminski as the alleged killer, though some experts have challenged the validity of the DNA analysis. He was institutionalized after 1891 due to mental health issues, first at Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum and later at Leavesden Asylum, where he died in 1919.

Although standard procedure today, how appropriate that Jack should have been identified by his bodily fluids.[21]

***

Russian Ambassador: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

As for the titular Doctor, well, here things become rather openly secretive. Though presenting as a blond, German Nazi,[22] Strangelove is played by the Jewish Peter Sellers,[23] and moreover, is based on the very Jewish Herman Kahn.[24] This would have been obvious to hip viewers, and was discussed in reviews, although later audiences tended to think it was Henry Kissinger (another Jew, of course).

Let’s check “Early Life.”

Kahn was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, as one of three sons to Yetta (née Koslowsky) and Abraham Kahn, a tailor. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Poland.

Ah, another Polish Jew, spreading the fruits of diversity, this time state-side. Unlike Saucy Jack the barber, Kahn had some brains to go along with his nuttiness, so his Early Life gives us the usual story: universally acknowledged as a genius math whiz, skipping grades, not bothering to finish a doctorate, instead getting appointments from actual PhDs who recognized his unique talents, etc. As one does. No ethnic networking here, thank you very much. A veritable Epstein of his time!

Eventually, Kahn winds up at the Rand Corporation (Kubrick’s “Bland Corporation”) where he becomes famous for his crackpot “rational” approach, a supposedly “objective” and “scientific” method,[25] leavened by a talent for stand-up comedy.[26] A veritable Yarvin of his time![27]

Let’s ask Wikipedia about this genius’ “Cold War Theories.”

Kahn argued for deterrence and believed that if the Soviet Union believed that the United States had a second strike capability then it would offer greater deterrence, which he wrote in his paper titled “The Nature and Feasibility of War and Deterrence.” Kahn was greatly in favor of civil defense, urging that the government build a network of underground shelters across the nation to ensure that as many Americans as possible could survive a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union. Kahn argued that the Soviet Union would be less likely to attack with nuclear weapons should such a network of bunkers exist, and should a Third World War break out, it could limit the American death toll from 30 million dead to 10 million dead. Kahn felt that it had to be shown that the United States was able and willing to fight a nuclear war as the best way of preventing war.

In On Thermonuclear War, Kahn put forward what came to be his “most notorious idea,” the Doomsday Machine, a computer that would set off an enormous stock of hydrogen bombs that would end all life on Earth if there was a nuclear attack on the United States or if there was an attempt to deactivate it. He argued that no-one would attempt to attack the United States if it possessed the Doomsday Machine (which would serve as a deterrent and thus preserve the peace).[28] However, he admitted that there was always the possibility that a few “coding errors” in the computer might accidentally set off the Doomsday Machine. Kahn had put forward the Doomsday Machine as a thought experiment intended to criticize the “massive retaliation” security doctrine of the Eisenhower administration that had been championed by the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. In his thought experiment, Kahn explored a scenario where the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear strike against the United States with almost all of the Soviet missiles and bombers being shot down before hitting American cities with only five American cities being destroyed, which would nonetheless trigger the Doomsday Machine. 

In short, all of the crackpot ideas bandied about by the goyim in Strangelove: acceptable losses of tens of millions, nationwide civil defense (mineshafts),[29] almost all the planes shot down but if even one gets through it’s all over, and above all the Doomsday Device^[30]—are all the products that rattled around inside Kahn’s skull.[31]

It should be noted that Kahn’s genius continues to bear fruit, promoted in an entirely objective and rational way, not at all an example of ethnic networking, as shown, appropriately enough, by AI:

The Hudson Institute, where Kahn was affiliated, continues to promote his legacy through the Herman Kahn Award, which has been given to figures such as Dick Cheney and Benjamin Netanyahu, reflecting the institute’s ongoing influence in neoconservative circles. While Kahn was criticized by many anti-nuclear advocates and labeled a “monster” by some, he was also praised by others, including Norman Podhoretz, who believed Kahn’s work made a compelling case for disarmament by demonstrating the inevitability of nuclear exchange.

Strangelove/Kahn provides the serious counterpart to Gen. Ripper’s buffoonery. While Ripper’s fluid mechanics are evidently nutty, it is Kahn who provided the real-world doctrines behind Gen. Turgidson’s “acceptable losses” and the Russians’ development of the Doomsday Device, as well as Strangelove’s own post-apocalyptic mineshaft Utopia.

***

Usually, the crazy ideas of the Jews and the inhuman, calculating mentality that produces them are put in the mouths of the goyim, dumb Americans, and crackpot Germans alike. One can almost hear the seductive voice—“Don’t listen those fools, listen to the wisdom of the Chosen.”

More recently, however, the tendency is to go “mask off,” confident that any criticism can be dismissed as “antisemitism.”

Is there much difference, in terms of either morality or practicality, between Strangelove’s lemonade from lemons idea of a sexual utopia in “our deepest mineshafts,” and Trump/Kushner’s plan to reconstruct the ethnically cleansed Gaza as a beachfront casino resort?

Did I hear someone say “beachfront?” The new Gaza—developed, of course, by Jared Kushner—is the LA of the Mediterranean, an entirely new charter city on humanity’s oldest ocean, sublime real estate with an absolutely perfect, Apple-quality government.[32]

Or Yarvin’s “put aside your feelings and be purely rational” plan to pay every Palestinian a quitclaim fee for their land and move them to Thailand to live like retired Boomers?[33]

Anyway, so ends our story for today. A cautionary tale, to be sure. You can never tell what might be lurking beneath the surface of even the most gleaming, space-age entertainment; perhaps some Middle Eastern blood-magic? Indeed, as has been wisely said,

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ― H.P. Lovecraft

[2] I and most viewers take the cloud/explosions to be some kind of orgasmic release here, but more recent viewers may have other associations; according to AI: “Stormy Daniels, in her memoir Full Disclosure, described Donald Trump’s penis as ‘smaller than average’ but ‘not freakishly small, with an unusual shape featuring a ‘huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool.’ She compared it to the mushroom character in Mario Kart, adding that she was ‘annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart.’”

[3] As outlined by William Burroughs: “In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen. . . My viewpoint is the exact contrary of the scientific viewpoint. I believe that if you run into somebody in the street it is for a reason. Among primitive people they say that if someone was bitten by a snake he was murdered. I believe that.” Literary Outlaw: The Life and Times of William S. Burroughs (New York: Norton, 2012), p. 252.

[4] When Alex in A Clockwork Orange is roughed up by his former droogs, now cops, their helmet badges say “ERII” for Elizabeth II. Kubrick intended this to show (if anyone noticed) that the film takes place in the “near future.” He likely did not imagine she would outlive him and still be on the throne 40 years later.

And if you prefer to hold a book in your hand―and really, who doesn’t? ―don’t forget Mysticism After Modernism: Crowley, Evola, Neville, Watts, Colin Wilson, & Other Populist Gurus (Melbourne, Australia: Manticore Press, 2020).

[6] “The Ethiopian Church is unique in retaining a number of Jewish practices, such as circumcision, the observance of dietary laws, and Saturday as well as Sunday Sabbath. This is probably due to the fact that Christianity arrived in Ethiopia directly from Palestine, while it was still strongly influenced by its Jewish roots.” (https://www.thearda.com/us-religion/group-profiles/groups?D=299) This was Brother Stair’s view, who like many Evangelicals incorporated lightly Christianized versions of the Hebrew holy days. “The Ethiopian Orthodox Church has a unique biblical canon, which includes 81 canonical books, significantly more than other Christian traditions, incorporating texts such as the Book of Jubilees, 1 Enoch, and additional works like the Didascalia and writings attributed to Clement of Rome, though some are considered pseudepigrapha.” This was the canon Abdullah passed on to Neville.

[7] “Who was Abdullah?” has been a perennial question in the little world of Neville Studies, and the aforementioned Tima Vlasto has provided a likely and massively documented answer: “The Abdullah Investigation: The Hidden Teacher of Neville Goddard―Part 4: Abdullah Identified―The Baritone Mystic of Atlantic City and 30 West 72nd Street.”

[8] For background on Enoch and its significance for Stair’s teachings, see my essay on Stair’s passing, “The Passing Over of the Overcomer.” Stair favored the recordings of Alexander Scourby for his broadcasts, and if you have three hours to spare, you can hear his reading of the Book of Enoch here.

[9] As happens so often, the religious forgers left embarrassing clues nonetheless: the Epistle of Jude quotes Enoch, the only time a NT author quotes a supposed “apocryphal” text; to cover up this blunder, they then forged a second epistle of Peter, which paraphrases the same material, but forgot to delete Jude. De Benoist has an expansive view of its influence, especially in eschatology: “In the words attributed to Jesus, one finds moreover entire quotations from the visions of the Book of Enoch. . . In the Book of Enoch, which was very widespread in the first century in Christian milieu (it is quoted by the epistles of Jude: XV, 4; and Barnabas: XV [also suppressed, of course]), one reads. . . James, who has read the Book of Enoch, announces terrible tortures to the rich and pagans.” “The Bolshevism of Antiquity,” originally published in «L’idées à l’endroit» (Ideas in the Right Place); written February 1977; translated by Alexander Raynor.

[10] This is the Hebrew technique of midrash, updating or “clarifying” a text by using it as the basis for a new tale, rather than offering a separate commentary; this difference in methodology has created endless controversies between Jews and Christians, since the former’s method seems like forgery to the latter.

[11] Did the Lord of the Rings movies need more backstory? Consider this.

[12] You can listen to a fairly detailed and objective (i.e. focusing neither on its “uncanonical” status nor taking it as a blueprint for the coming Apocalypse) here.

[13] Of course, almost as soon as Enoch was in circulation, right up to present time, the faithful insist that the Hebrew scriptures came first, and such similar pagan myths were later composed by demons or Satan to confuse mankind, like the bones they buried to make people believe in dinosaurs; even here, faith is the inversion of rational knowledge. Similarly, while scholars now suggest the Torah was composed in Alexandria and based on Plato’s Republic and Laws, Jews have always claimed that Plato somehow got his hands on a copy of the Torah and plagiarized Moses. That the Greek Septuagint was not a translation of an ancient Hebrew text but a new work, produced in Alexandria circa Second Century BC, is discussed by the late Russell Gmirkin here, along with a lot of other stuff the Jews stole from Plato.

[14] One might say that Enoch is like a post-revolution history written by a traitor to ingratiate himself to the new rulers: “I for one welcome our new Olympic overlords.”

[15] “The six-pointed Star. . . is the symbol in almost every religion, of the Logos as the first emanation.” Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, vol. 1, Part 2.

[16] “It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your hard-core Commie works.”

[17] “. . . ideas as lugubrious as those of hell, of sacrifice of the innocent, of mystical union in the blood that one drinks. . .”―Nietzsche, The Antichrist.

[18] And they’re still going at it: consider Kevin MacDonald’s comments on Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s “The Sexually Depraved Anti-Semite,” ripped from the headlines here, where commenter Tim describes Boteach’s screed as “This disgusting, confused, hypersexualized, demonic effusion based on the lowest instincts, the mindless output of a perverted Jew. . .” This raises another level of projection: why are the people who are so concerned about protecting themselves from “demonic blood” the same people who look and act like. . . demons?

[19] The Sith and Jedi are warring Titans, good and evil respectively (“From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!”), the Force is passed down in the blood. As our guide points out, the Deuteronomy account “also references the Anakim tribe of Giants. Yes, this is where George Lucas got the inspiration for his Pneuma-wielding, Gaia-conceived, Lucifer-aesthetic protagonist/antagonist in Star Wars.” Catholic Tolkien (“Don’t use the Ring!”) and Jewish Moldberg (“Go back to your hobbit holes”) join hands in Judeo-Christian anti-intellectualism.

[20] Alexander Cockburn, grand old man of pro-Communist journalism and a leading muck-raker and general gadfly, endorsed the JBS position in his Counterpunch newsletter; although Cockburn was a known gatekeeper who sneered at “conspiracy theories” about JFK or 9/11, this one fit into the Leftist “institutional analysis” model—fluoride was a poisonous industrial waste product that Big Aluminum persuaded the government to take off its hands and promote as a supposed public health measure—and was deemed kosher. Or perhaps he just enjoyed annoying his fellow Leftists, as with his defense of the Church of Scientology against the German government on free speech and freedom of religion grounds; again, this seems “Right coded” today, given the EU’s anti-speech crusade. “One reassuring thought: one of our hidden advantages is that these people wouldn’t believe in a conspiracy if it hit them over the head (this is perhaps the best measure of the decline of the Left). Linkages make them sound really crazy, and they kinda know it.” Peter Thiel to Curtis Yarvin, quoted in “Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America.”

[21] Additionally, the name “Leviathan” seems to come from a Ugaritic word, “Litanu,” related to a verb which might be rendered as “to rip.”

[22] Lampshaded thus:

General “Buck” Turgidson: “Hmm… Strangelove? What kind of a name is that? That ain’t no Kraut name is it, Stainesey?”

Mr. Staines: “He changed it when he became a citizen. Used to be Merkwurdichliebe.”

General “Buck” Turgidson: “Well, a Kraut by any other name, uh Stainesey?”

AI helpfully instructs the normie: “This line plays on the idea that no matter the name change, the person’s German origin remains evident.”

[23] “Peter Sellers, the famed actor who died recently, [1980], often spoke proudly of the fact that he was Jewish, even though he never practiced Judaism. According to the Jewish Chronicle News Service, Sellers was once asked by an interviewer if he was half-Jewish. His reply: ‘I am fully Jewish, really. My father was solid Church of England but my mother was Jewish―Portuguese Jewish―and Jews take the faith of their mother.’”― “Peter Sellers proud to be Jewish.”

[24] “The American film director Stanley Kubrick had read On Thermonuclear War and was in contact with Kahn in the early 1960s. The Doomsday Machine in Kubrick’s 1964 film Dr. Strangelove was based very closely on the Doomsday Machine in On Thermonuclear War with the only difference being that it was the Soviet Union rather than the United States that possessed the Doomsday Machine.” Wikipedia

[25] “Kahn’s major contributions were the several strategies he developed during the Cold War to contemplate “the unthinkable” ―namely, nuclear warfare―by using applications of game theory. Kahn is often cited (with Pierre Wack) as a father of scenario planning.” Wikipedia. For a look at the whole nuthouse these “geniuses” set up, see Alex Abella, Soldiers of Reason: The RAND Corporation and the Rise of the American Empire (New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009).

[26] “Unlike most of the intellectuals who served at the Rand Corporation who were known for their dull, dry style of speaking, Kahn was in the words of the American historian Alex Abella “a showman” whose charisma, charm, sense of humor and colorful speaking style made his lectures well attended.” Wikipedia, loc. cit.

[27] Like Yarvin, he was less of a writer than a standup comic: “Kahn was a poor writer and with the assistance of several ghostwriters turned his lectures into his known book, On Thermonuclear War, which was published in 1960.”

[29] Strangelove: A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country, but I would guess that dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided.

[30] President Muffley: [about the Doomsday Machine] “How is it possible for this thing to be triggered automatically and at the same time impossible to untrigger?”

Dr. Strangelove: “Mr. President, it is not only possible, it is essential. That is the whole idea of this machine, you know. Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy. . . the FEAR to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision-making process which rules out human meddling, the Doomsday machine is terrifying and simple to understand. . . and completely credible and convincing.”

Studio head Lipnik delivers this kiss-off (related to Russian Premier Kissoff?) to Fink while wearing his new outfit, a colonel’s uniform run up for him by the wardrobe department to fit his new role in the Army Signal Corps.
