It’s wild this will have more of an audience here.

Because I do have 1400 or so followers on Twitter. I don’t keep track so I can’t tell you exactly. Look if you’re curious. But watch this tweet, especially if you’re reading this on Wednesday or later than November 11.

It’s nuts. I’m not even sure nuclear science is real. I just trust so little we are told and there is one Empire that has ruled the world for centuries. They started from Rome, and now they have outposts in London (City of London, originally founded as Londinium) and Washington D.C. now—neither of which are parts of the countries with which they are associated typically.

The Jesuits have told so many lies so I have no reason to trust anything they tell me. I’ve heard theories that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed with very powerful conventional bombs but that the whole thing was orchestrated theatre. Similar to Pearl Harbor. Do a deep-dive down that rabbit hole sometime.

Have you ever noticed the pattern the stars create in the nighttime sky as they move? They all circle Polaris. The Pole Star. That’s why it has its name. It’s not about the pole of the Earth at all. That’s made-up nonsense. They also lie to us about geologic plates causing Earthquakes, continental drift, and the entire concept of a continent named “Antarctica” is pure fiction. I’m not guessing about any of this. I learned it by people who were not making maps with the intent to deceive.

The “North Pole” also ain’t what you think it is. Black Rock is named for True North. Know why compasses don’t point to the South Pole? Ain’t one. One “pole” and in reality it’s this giant super-magnetic rock that you can see on old maps of True North.

Not just one map!

This seems to take inspiration from the “four corners of the world” concept that appears in the Bible. Perhaps not. Perhaps it was a parallel belief in that time, perhaps a common one. It’s certainly not a globe.
