Holden,
Thank you for the links, the article on Schopenhauer and the Pink Floyd video. I hope your health is a little better.
I am not doing allright.That´s part of life. Here we are having a very scorching summer, if I can use these words, so you can feel the heat in our paved streets.
You ask about the Illuminati. I would like to suggest you watch Eyes Wide Shut by Stanley Kubrick. Some say this film director was murdered by poisoning before the movie was released in 1999. Others say that Kubrick, a talented director, was the one who film the fake landing on the moon. The portrayals of the sensual rituals in the movie, some say, are reflections of actual events within the Illuminati.
I quote what author Jim Marrs wrote about them:
“So what exactly is the Illuminati?
Many researchers and Internet pundits continue to view the fabled Illuminati in much the same way as American businessman, financial adviser, and Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki does. He described the Illuminati this way:
The Illuminati began as a secret society under the direction of Jesuit priests. Later, a council of five men, one for each of the points on the pentagram, formed what was called The Ancient and Illuminated Seers of Bavaria. They were high order Luciferian Freemasons, thoroughly immersed in mysticism and eastern mental disciplines, seeking to develop the super powers of the mind.
Their alleged plan and purpose is world domination for their lord—which is the fallen Lucifer. The Illuminati are alleged to be the primary motivational forces forcing the global governance, a one-world religion, and centralized control of the world’s economic systems. Organizations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the International Criminal Court are seen as tentacles of the Illuminati.
The Illuminati are the driving force behind the brainwashing of the mindless masses, blatant mind control, manipulation of beliefs, scientific dumbing-down of society, chemical poisoning of food, water and air (globally known cancers like aluminum salts [chemtrails], aspartame, sodium fluoride, melamime, etc.); also, the Illuminati are revealed to have total and complete control over all the mainstream media of the modern world, all the information, all the food, all the money, most of the world’s military forces.
The Illuminati’s power vehicles are the big banks, and the manipulation of all the money and wealth of the planet. The Illuminati have a private board of elite, interlocking delegates who control the world’s major banks. They create inflations, recessions, depressions, and manipulate the world markets, supporting certain leaders and coups and undermining others to achieve their overall goals. The goal behind the Illuminati conspiracy is to create and then manage crises that will eventually convince the masses that globalism, with its centralized economic control and one-world religious ethic, are the necessary solution to the world’s woes.
This structure, usually known as The New World Order, will of course be ruled by the Illuminati. There are many end times prophecies in the Bible that are interpreted by most to point to an end times one-world government, one-world monetary system, and one-world religion. Many Bible prophecy interpreters see this “New World Order” as being controlled by the antichrist, the end-times false messiah. However all believers in Christ should remember this: God has sovereignly allowed all these developments, and they are not outside of His overall plan. God is in control, not the Illuminati.”
From what I know the Freemasons are not accepted in the Catholic Church but some say there has been heavy infiltration inside the Church during these last decades by the Freemasons. Probably Pope Paul IV in 1972 in reference to them said that “the smoke of Satan has entered the Church”.
The alternative bloggers say Pope Francis is a Freemason in disguise. Others call him the Antichrist or the False Pope.
I agree with you about the relatives. They are a complicated bunch of people. I don´t talk to them. I am unknown to them and they are unknown to me.
I have remained vaccine-free so far because the health officials have not come to my door. In Ciudad del Este, a city on the border with Brazil, last month, nurses accompanied by soldiers went vaccinating house to house.
The Paraguayan MSM bombards us with the omicron variant and that only unvaccinated people are dying in hospitals. In the Paraguayan Congress they are talking of imposing a health pass. Now the authorities are going to vaccinate children before the school activities start between February and March.
Stay safe.
