Key Takeaways

1. Ancient Extraterrestrial Influence and the Serpent Race

The more I have researched this over the years, the more obvious it has become to me that the origin of the bloodlines and the plan for the takeover of the Earth goes off planet to a race or races from other spheres or dimensions of evolution.

Off-planet origins. The author posits that the manipulation of humanity traces back to extraterrestrial races, specifically a reptilian genetic stream known as the Anunnaki or Serpent Race, described in ancient texts like the Sumerian Tablets. These beings are alleged to have arrived on Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago, possessing advanced technology and knowledge far beyond early humans. They were often perceived as 'gods' by primitive populations.

Genetic manipulation. According to the Sumerian Tablets, the Anunnaki, led by figures like Enki and Ninkharsag, genetically engineered native humans to create a slave race capable of performing labor, such as mining gold. This sudden upgrade in human form around 200,000 years ago, resulting in Homo sapiens, is presented as evidence of this intervention. The author suggests this crossbreeding program created hybrid bloodlines carrying the reptilian genetic code.

Cataclysms and survival. Ancient texts and geological evidence point to massive global cataclysms around 11,000 BC and later, which devastated advanced civilizations of a 'Golden Age'. The author suggests extraterrestrial races either left the planet or survived underground or in other dimensions. The surviving reptilian-human hybrids, possessing advanced knowledge, became the foundation of the controlling elite.

2. The Babylonian Brotherhood: Architects of Global Control

The Brotherhood which controls the world today is the modern expression of the Babylonian Brotherhood of reptile-Aryan priests and ‘royalty’ which came together there after the flood.

Post-cataclysmic emergence. Following global floods and upheavals, the author claims that surviving Aryan and reptile-Aryan bloodlines emerged from mountainous regions, particularly the Caucasus and Near East, to re-establish advanced civilizations in areas like Sumer and Egypt. Babylon became a key center for these groups.

Formation of the Brotherhood. In Babylon, these bloodlines, allegedly led by figures like Nimrod and Queen Semiramis (symbolic of the Anunnaki Enki and Ninkharsag), formed a secret society network. This 'Babylonian Brotherhood' consolidated ancient knowledge and established systems of control, including manipulated religious beliefs and hierarchical structures.

Expansion and infiltration. The Babylonian Brotherhood expanded its influence across the Middle East, into Egypt, and eventually into Europe and the Americas. They infiltrated or created mystery schools and secret societies to covertly advance their agenda, while simultaneously establishing public institutions to control the masses.

3. Religion as a Manufactured Mind Prison

Nothing has served the reptilian Agenda more than religion.

Control through belief. The author argues that major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) were deliberately created by the Babylonian Brotherhood to control human minds and emotions through fear, guilt, and the promise of salvation via obedience to priesthoods. These religions are based on recycled myths and symbolism from ancient Sun worship and mystery schools.

Recycled myths and symbolism. The core stories and figures of these religions, such as the birth, death, and resurrection of a 'Son of God', are shown to mirror earlier Pagan deities like Tammuz, Horus, Mithra, and Quetzalcoatl.

  • Jesus is presented as a composite figure based on these earlier Sun god myths.
  • Biblical stories like Genesis and Exodus are claimed to be edited versions of Sumerian and Egyptian texts.
  • Symbols like the cross, the fish, the halo, and specific numbers (12, 13, 40) are interpreted as ancient esoteric codes.

Suppression of knowledge. Religions, particularly the Roman Church, systematically destroyed or suppressed ancient texts and knowledge that contradicted their manufactured narratives or revealed the true nature of life and human potential. This ensured that the masses remained ignorant and easily controlled.

4. The Rise of the Black Nobility and Financial Slavery

These Phoenicians then became known as Venetians. They built a powerful maritime (of course) and financial empire which was based on lending people money that does not exist and charging them interest on it.

Financial manipulation. The author traces the lineage of the Babylonian Brotherhood into Europe through groups like the Phoenicians and later the Venetians. These groups established powerful financial empires based on the practice of creating 'fiat' money (money out of nothing) and lending it at interest, thereby creating debt and control over individuals and nations.

The Black Nobility. The Venetian elite, intermarrying with European aristocracy, became known as the 'Black Nobility'. These families, carrying the reptilian bloodlines, infiltrated and took control of European royal houses and financial institutions.

Central banking system. The Black Nobility was instrumental in establishing central banks, such as the Bank of England, which allowed private banking cartels to control national currencies and economies. This system, based on debt and interest, is presented as a primary tool for global control, enabling the Brotherhood to create economic booms and busts at will.

5. The Secret Society Network: Weaving the Web of Power

Over thousands of years, the reptilian full-bloods and crossbreeds have created a fantastic web of interconnecting secret societies to enforce their Agenda.

Covert coordination. The author reveals that the Babylonian Brotherhood operates through a vast, interconnected network of secret societies (Freemasons, Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, etc.) and semi-secret groups (Round Table, Bilderberg Group, CFR, TC). These groups, often with overlapping memberships from the same bloodlines, coordinate the global agenda across national borders and institutions.

Hierarchical structure. These organizations are structured like pyramids, with knowledge and the true agenda confined to the highest levels. The vast majority of members are unaware of the ultimate goals, believing they are part of benevolent or respectable organizations. This compartmentalization ensures secrecy and control.

Infiltration of institutions. Trusted initiates from these networks are placed in positions of power within governments, banks, corporations, media, military, and intelligence agencies worldwide. This allows the Brotherhood to manipulate events and policies from behind the scenes, creating a de facto one-party state controlled by a hidden elite.

6. The Creation and Control of the United States

The United States has always been controlled from London and still is.

Brotherhood project. The author claims the United States was not founded on principles of freedom but was a deliberate project of the Babylonian Brotherhood, primarily orchestrated from London. Key figures like Francis Bacon and the Founding Fathers (many of whom were Freemasons) were allegedly part of this plan.

The Virginia Company. The US is presented as a continuation of the Virginia Company, chartered by King James I, which initially owned vast tracts of American land. The author controversially claims that the British Crown still owns US land and that the US government (the 'United States of America' corporation) is a front for the original Virginia Company owners.

Financial and political control. The Federal Reserve, the US central bank, is described as a private cartel owned by European banking families (like the Rothschilds and Warburgs) and their American associates (like the Rockefellers). Organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a branch of the London-based Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA), are alleged to control US politics and policy, ensuring presidents and key officials serve the Brotherhood agenda.

7. Satanism: The Rituals of the Reptilian Elite

The black magic rituals we know as Satanism are the modern expression of the rituals and human sacrifice in ancient Babylon and the Brotherhood infiltrated societies...

Ancient practices continued. The author asserts that modern Satanism is a direct continuation of ancient ritual sacrifice and torture practiced by the Babylonian Brotherhood and its predecessors. These rituals are not merely perverse acts but are central to their 'religion' and serve specific purposes related to energy manipulation and connection with the reptilians.

Energy manipulation. Satanic rituals, often involving torture and sacrifice (especially of children), are performed on Earth's energy vortex points. The intense negative emotions generated (fear, pain) are believed to resonate with and empower the reptilians in the lower fourth dimension, who allegedly feed on this energy.

Blood and sacrifice. Drinking blood, particularly menstrual blood ('Star Fire') and blood from sacrificial victims, is claimed to be a practice of the reptilian bloodlines, necessary for them to maintain human form in this dimension. Human sacrifice, especially of children, is presented as a way to steal life-force energy and test initiates' loyalty.

8. Mind Control: Shattering the Psyche for Control

Control of the human mind and emotions is the very foundation of the reptilian control of the human race.

Systematic manipulation. The author argues that humanity is subjected to widespread mind control, ranging from overt propaganda in media and education to covert trauma-based programming. The goal is to create a population that is easily controlled, unthinking, and disconnected from its true potential.

Trauma-based programming. Techniques perfected by figures like Nazi Josef Mengele and continued in programs like MKUltra (allegedly still active) involve systematically traumatizing individuals, often from childhood through torture and ritual abuse. This shatters the mind into compartmentalized 'personalities' or 'alters'.

Creating human robots. These fragmented minds can then be programmed for specific tasks using triggers (words, sounds, symbols). Programmed individuals are allegedly used as assassins, couriers, sex slaves, and infiltrators in various organizations. This creates a network of unwitting or unwilling agents serving the Brotherhood agenda.

9. The Windsor Bloodline: A Key Reptilian Family

The Windsors are the highest profile reptilian family on the planet and they operate at the heart of the global manipulation.

Black Nobility lineage. The author claims the British Royal Family (House of Windsor) is a key bloodline of the Black Nobility, tracing its ancestry through European royalty back to the ancient reptilian-Aryan lines. Their wealth and power are linked to the financial empire centered in the City of London.

Satanism and ritual. The Windsors are alleged to be deeply involved in Satanic rituals and child sacrifice, practices central to the Brotherhood's connection with the reptilians. The author presents testimony from alleged ritual abuse survivors claiming to have witnessed members of the Royal Family participating in these acts.

Control and influence. The Windsors are presented as knowing participants in the global manipulation, using their position and connections within secret societies (like Freemasonry, Order of the Garter) and institutions (like the Church of England, military, intelligence agencies) to advance the Brotherhood agenda.

10. Ritual Assassinations: Symbolic Sacrifices for the Agenda

At the highest level of the Brotherhood, Diana’s death, like Kennedy’s, was a ritual killing.

Planned sacrifices. The author contends that major historical assassinations, such as those of John F. Kennedy and Diana, Princess of Wales, were not random events but deliberately planned ritual murders orchestrated by the Brotherhood. These killings are full of esoteric symbolism related to ancient myths and deities.

Symbolism in death. The locations, dates, and circumstances of these deaths are interpreted as having specific symbolic meaning within the Brotherhood's secret language.

  • JFK's death in Dealey Plaza (a 'Sun temple' with pyramid symbolism) on the anniversary of a Templar event.
  • Diana's death in the Pont de L'Alma tunnel ('Bridge of the Moon Goddess'), an ancient sacrificial site to the goddess Diana, on Hecate's day.

Covert execution. These assassinations are allegedly carried out by Brotherhood operatives within intelligence agencies and other networks, often using mind-controlled individuals as scapegoats (like Lee Harvey Oswald and Henri Paul). Security is deliberately withdrawn or manipulated to ensure the target's death.

11. The Secret Language of Symbolism and Energy Manipulation

The Brotherhood’s obsession with ritual and symbolism is not the bizarre behaviour it might at first seem to be. They are casting a spell on the human mind and emotions.

Communication and control. The author explains that the Brotherhood uses a secret language of symbols, numbers, words, and rituals to communicate among initiates and, more importantly, to affect the collective human psyche and the Earth's energy field. This is presented as a form of 'casting a spell'.

Symbols as energy forms. Symbols and geometric shapes are believed to generate specific energies. By placing these symbols in key locations (city layouts, buildings, logos), the Brotherhood aims to resonate the environment to desired vibrational frequencies, influencing human thought and emotion.

  • Examples: Obelisks (male/solar energy), Domes (female/lunar energy), Pyramids (energy focus), Hexagrams, Pentagrams, the Circle and Cross.

Vibrational manipulation. Rituals, sounds, and even specific dates (like May 1st, solstices) are used to harness and direct energy. The goal is to keep the Earth's vibrational frequency low, making it compatible with the lower fourth dimensional reptilians and disconnecting humanity from higher consciousness.

12. Breaking the Spell: Reconnecting with Infinite Consciousness

Humans who understand their true nature, power and worth would be impossible to manipulate in the ways we have seen.

The illusion of separation. The author argues that the core of the Brotherhood's control lies in making humanity believe it is separate from the infinite consciousness ('God') and from each other. This creates fear, competition, and a sense of powerlessness.

Reconnecting through love. The path to freedom is presented as breaking free from the 'egg shell' of limited perception and reconnecting with our multidimensional, infinite self. This is achieved by overcoming fear and expressing unconditional love, which resonates at a high frequency and activates our full potential.

Knowledge is power. Understanding the true history, the nature of the manipulation, and the power of consciousness is crucial. By exposing the hidden agenda and the methods of control, humanity can collectively choose to stop participating in the system of slavery.

Creating a new reality. Since our physical reality is a reflection of our inner state and collective consciousness, changing our thoughts, emotions, and actions (particularly by choosing love over fear) will change the world. The author believes humanity is currently undergoing an awakening that threatens the reptilian control.
