About one third into this long article about Tulsi Gabbard, Hare Krisna, and UFO Cults

Technically, we cannot know the true origin story of Freemasonry without somehow piercing the occult curtain. There is speculation that Freemasonry grew out of the underground remains of the Knights Templar, an organization that might be considered the original Military Occult Banking Syndicate (MOBS). What we can know is the recorded history which, even as my still-evolving mind map demonstrates, Freemasonry began to gain steam in 17th century England, then was quickly spread throughout the world by the British East India Company (EIC), primarily during the 18th century.

Religion and writing have gone hand-in-hand since the dawn of writing in Mesopotamia, if not sooner than we currently know for certain. It was the rapidly expanding literacy of Lutherans in Germany, for instance, that partially inspired Frederick the Great to push Lutherans into Prussian schools where he could control what Lutheran children were learning with their newly acquired reading skills. Ancient armies typically required swords at every back. European leaders figured out that a childhood dose of abuse and mind control at school, plus a dose of appearance of aligned incentives, works far better.

Going back a few centuries, further west in Scotland, one of the most underdiscussed revolutions of religion and writing took place. Known as the Davidian Revolution, this period produced a new class of aggressively literate Scotsmen. In turn these increasingly educated and technologically talented Scotsmen began organizing as the world’s first Freemasons. Kilwinning Abbey was established in 1140, and there we can find Lodge 0. The “guns, germs, and steel” of that era were “castles, cavalry, and writing,” and the new literacy flowed through not simply the Crown, the aristocratic class, and the churches, but in a way perhaps unique to human history, the new Masonic technological class as well. This is the root of the Scottish Enlightenment.

A short distance away in 1162, the Templars began the reshaping of the “square mile” known as the City of London. A near facsimile of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Temple of Solomon were erected. Today, the City of London is the global center for international currency transactions and money laundering for criminal networks. This is where the rails of a planned tokenized economy are being constructed. It is commonly whispered that this is also the world’s most dense gathering of captive child prostitutes.

The City of London operates independently of the Crown due to a centuries-long process of incorporation that began with the Norman Conquest of 1067, furthered by the Magna Carta of 1215, and cemented by the chartering of the EIC in 1600. It is the world’s oldest corporation, unless, by some chance, the Templars themselves might qualify. When history is occulted, such trivia becomes obscure.

The British Empire aimed to take over the world, and bootstrap it into what was eventually conceptualized as a cybernetic system. This is what is usually referred to as globalization. Their plan involved a combination of superior technology (particularly with respect to ocean travel), a strong and distributed banking network, spycraft, and social engineering. Social engineering takes many forms, but religious manipulation has always been the most potent at scale. And the more religions there are, the more levers the Empire has to turn them on one another in an endless series of culture wars.

The strongest empire uses its tools both on its own people, and the peoples it prepares to absorb. Remember that as we move forward.

The Freemasonic Globalist Alien Religions

As the EIC became the engine of globalization, it spread Masonic lodges quickly to India, China, Indonesia, as well as to the Americas. Hat tip to Robert Frederick for turning me on to this book by Jessica L. Harland-Jacobs, which tells the story quite well:

The case in India is most interesting. Though not without external conflicts, India managed to remain free of most of the more devastating wars of imperial rivalry that scarred Eurasia and North Africa for thousands of years. The era of Mughal Peace (1556-1707) initially boosted the wealth of India to a point that it was almost certainly the most wealthy region of the world (measured in gems and precious metals) by the late 1600s. At that time, the paranoid Mughal ruler Emperor Aurangzeb murdered his brothers (rivals to the throne). Upon taking control of the South Asian empire, he began a campaign to Islamify South Asia. Aurangzeb’s army destroyed Vedic and Buddhist temples, murdered many who refused conversion, and excessively taxed non-Muslims. The result was that the thriving ports of the Indian coast lost their trade dominance. Aurangzeb’s reign was a master class in how to destroy your own empire [for idiots].

When you’re done reading this article, you may have enough information to look back to this point in the story and wonder, “Who whispered what in Aurangzeb’s ear?” The mind control game is real, and it’s front and center throughout history, even when it isn’t written that way. Perhaps that is always empire’s recursive exclamation point.

During the time of Aurangzeb’s reign of terror, the EIC went from trading quite profitably with the locals in Bengal, and held good relations with leadership it came into contact with in South Asia. Losing 90% of its mercantile business to places like Zanzibar and Oman, non-Islamic Indian leadership practically invited the EIC in, along with the British Crown, to…do something. For several decades, the British Empire went about combat with the Mughals, ending with the total defeat and submission by the Mughal Empire in 1757. The spice must flow.

While you can read from many sources about the history of South Asia since that time, our purpose here is to examine the development of religion under the watchful eye of the Freemasons. Lodges were quickly established in Bengal (1728), as Dhaka was the epicenter of the global textile trade and British development in Calcutta was on the rise. These developments lead into the EIC’s opium trade that it would eventually use to conquer China. Lodges were later established in Madras (1752), Bombay (1758), Ceylon (Sri Lanka, 1771), Malaysia (1786?), and many other locations of economic importance. These seeded lodges multiplied into hundreds of additional lodges. These were initially “white only”, but the Freemasons began to filter in South Asians much the way Facebook famously expanded participation from Harvard University to other elite universities to the general Western population and then to over half the global population, with the largest number of users residing in India. The presence of elites baits everyone else in, which is essentially the very definition of the elites. Once the struggle began, the British Empire’s military victory over the subcontinent was a slam dunk built on modern technological superiority. But the fight for hearts and minds was to take place through religion and corporate-government institutions, beginning with the absorption of South Asian elites.

And it worked. It worked so well that Freemasons constructed what might be called “the Indian wing of Plato’s cave“. Many of the old elites of India became rich or powerful new elites in the globalist empire, often submitting through Freemasonry, a fraternal network where they could be influenced with various prods and pats on the back. The Tagore family would be given a frontman’s role in the Opium trade. The Mullick mercantile (gold) family acted as financiers and middlemen as the EIC built the rails on which India’s wealth would be smuggled out of the country. We will return to these two families in particular, though there were many others.

The problem with Freemasonry was that it left an obvious footprint. This inevitably led to conspiracy theories of the day. In the U.S., for instance, the Anti-Masonic Party was one of the most influential political movements of the first half of the 19th century, though it was likely chiefly controlled by its named opposition. After all, Freemasons made up a large portion of the Revolutionary elite, signers of the U.S. Constitution (which borrowed all manner of conceptual language from the Masonic Constitution), and Washington D.C. was designed, built, and finally dedicated by Freemasons in a ceremony presided over by George Washington in full Masonic garb. When one Freemason, William Morgan, threatened to expose the secrets of the fraternity in 1826, he was kidnapped by Freemasons and never seen again.

Freemasons would be associated with other revolutions around the world, including that led by the Young Turks (and other templated “Young X” movements), the Russian Revolution, the Nazis, and most or all of the major revolutions throughout Asia up to very recent times. But they couldn’t carry on that way forever without taking too much heat. They needed to establish new organizations through which to carry on their activities.

Such a MOBS force as the Freemasons would inevitably need to grow invisible tentacles, and while nobody can prove the following relationships were intentional, all one needs to do is understand the role the Freemasons played in building the globalist empire to recognize a natural continuity that points to planning as the default explanation.

The Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormon LDS) was directly founded by Master Freemason Joseph Smith. Smith was in turn anointed as a high ranking Mason by Grandmaster Abraham Jones. There are some who consider Jones a handler of Abraham Lincoln’s political career. Jones was part of Mary Todd Lincoln’s elite social circle in Kentucky, and later engineered the Lincoln-Douglas debates. There are many people who express amazement that Smith managed to convince so many people of his supposedly divine powers, dictating the Book of Mormon from ancient texts on golden discs out of a magic hat. But the story makes more sense if you understand that nearly all of his early male followers were the bulk of the Freemasons in the whole of Illinois. Once you understand that tidbit, and also Asch conformity, the illusion loses its magickal luster. A child who grows up in a community where all the adults agree to some absurd story tends to agree with the story, or at least pretend to. Then Voila! A religion is born.

The Theosophical Society (which has itself spawned dozens of spinoff cults) was chiefly founded by Freemasons in New York, though its immediate spread through London spiritualist circles over the course of a single year is strong evidence of the British Empire Freemasonic connection. So too is the fact that its headquarters was quickly moved halfway around the world to Adyar, in Madras, India just a few years later. After that, Freemason co-founder Colonel Henry Olcott, a man who wriggled out of treason charges in the U.S. by invoking Masonic signals to his captors, and who was then suspiciously selected to preside over the inept investigation into President Lincoln’s assassination, moved himself to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to become a leader of the Buddhist movement there. That Buddhist movement sowed the seeds of the eventual civil war with the Tamil Tigers, sparked by a Sri Lankan man trained by British intelligence who retired into a job promoting sustainable development goals at the United Nations. Oh, and that Sri Lankan terrorist’s daughter is the “Paper Planes” rapper M.I.A., who was elevated to Member status in the Order of the British Empire.

This is where I remind readers that the EIC took over Madras, India, and incorporated it. Despite [supposed] Indian Independence, that corporation, formerly run by Elihu Yale (yes, that Yale), still operates today as the world’s second oldest corporation (now known as the Greater Chennai Corporation). It was there in Madras, in the backwoods of Adyar, that the Theosophical Society planted roots, and began working as the left hand of the British social engineering of India and its religions. It was Theosophical Society leader (and Freemason and Fabian “wolf in sheep’s clothing”) Annie Besant who established, though an invisible funding network so vast that it could only be laundered through the British banking network, essentially all of the feminist organizations that still operate today in India. This was part of the reshaping of the Vedic religions into a modern Hinduism, a religion that, unlike what the history books have told you, simply did not exist prior to the British Empire’s foray into India (the Vedic religions trace back perhaps 3500 years or more).

As an aside, while feminism in India may sound perfectly nice, one needs to understand the unfolding of India that came along with it to fully understand it as controlled opposition. These problems could consume their own article, but highly relevant is the surge of child prostitution from nearly nonexistent in India to what became by far the world’s largest child trafficking enterprise. Mohandas Gandhi‘s close friend, Lord Mountbatten (the last Viceroy of India, of the Royal “Windsor” Family) bragged so openly about raping little brown kids in India that the BBC had to bury an interview with him. Witnesses of that interview said Lord Mountbatten described the parties he would throw for Indian children where he would quickly groom and seduce them one at a time as casually as if he were discussing cricket. His wife, Lady Mountbatten, co-founded the India League that spear-headed the theatrical production known in history as the Indian Independence movement.

In case you’re wondering, Lord Mountbatten’s great-nephew is Prince Andrew. Remember that the bad apple usually means the whole barrel is rotten.

The establishment of Hinduism was almost entirely organized by Freemasons, the EIC, and their allies. Much of this took place through an organization called Brahmo Samaj, founded by EIC employee Raja Ram Mohan Roy, and led by the EIC’s opium-running Tagore family (a necessity for the EIC after the resolution to First Opium War when China refused to allow its merchants to buy any longer from the English).

Skipping past the details, the result was a new religion that would be easy for the British Empire’s globalist MOBS to steer once the empire decided to go invisible.

The British Empire has long been fond of pious scapegoats. I’m sure some Jewish readers immediately understand the point, but consider also the case of the Quakers. The early Quakers were the Society of Friends who eschewed English churches and organizations quite simply because they were all so depressingly corrupt. However, some EIC merchants infiltrated the Quaker movement. When the Quakers were oppressed by the Crown, and had a hard time finding employment, the EIC merchants invited their pious brethren into the maritime trade where truly religious Quakers made for a highly ethical front for business. Meanwhile, the infiltrating psychopaths of the EIC used that reputational laundering to get a solid foot into the transatlantic slave trade. You read that right, the wealthy elite Quakers, who later planted themselves in Philadelphia and became abolitionists just in time to help build a lever for the British bankers that would eventually become the U.S. Civil War, were the British Empire’s wolves in sheep’s clothing. Today, everyone from the American South weirdly takes the blame for the small class of slave traders and owners who committed horrific crimes. It’s part of the game of privatizing the profits, and socializing responsibility for the liabilities.

Lesson: The primary value of identity politics is as humanitarian shielding for the Kunlangeta. It’s a game of divide and conquer that mimics what game theorists call the dollar auction. The only way to win is not to play. Even when you do win, you’re locked into the Game of Thrones, and the happy ending season struck exactly nobody as natural.

Much of the false narrative of Indian independence flowed through the story of another wealthy elite servant of the British Empire, Gandhi. As a young Anglophile, the atheist suit-wearing Gandhi traveled to the City of London where he was trained in law (as were some of the leaders of Brahmo Samaj) at the Inner Temple. He was concurrently trained in the ways of Hinduism by Besant, and in psychological operations by the Queen’s own intelligent unit, MI6, at Tavistock Square. This is not speculation or conspiracy theory. He documented it himself in his own memoirs. This is a lesson in going beyond biographical narratives written by social engineers (Gandhi’s biographer was also the biographer for the controlled Neru-Gandhi family that still looms large in Indian politics), certified for textbooks and Wikipedia. For Gandhi’s role in India, Ellen Wilkinson, a prominent member of the British Parliament, referred to Gandhi as “the best policeman the British [ever] had in India.”

This technically mediocre art piece, a shadow puppet Gandhi, of anonymous origin in Andhra Pradesh sits in the British Museum. The joke has always been right out in the open, but cognitive dissonance is enough to make the signs invisible to most people.

While I plan to write a more complete article, or perhaps a book on the subject, RTE readers can explore the [obvious, once you read the history] theory of India’s faked independence in an interview I gave with Courtenay Turner. Key point: All of India’s first six prime ministers were personally mentored by Besant or Besant-via-Gandhi. Even as India’s politics performatively shifted from control by the Congress Party to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), members of the Neru-Gandhi family followed the shift in power, and still play key roles.

As a last note before we head into the story of the “alien religions” and the Hare Krishna movement, of which Tulsi Gabbard is a uniquely sophisticated piece, I encourage readers to examine the participants of the 1893 gathering known as the World’s Parliament of Religions (mind map here). Hardly a single attendee present cannot be traced by to Freemasonry, the Theosophical Society, the EIC, or some other node of the globalist MOBS like the Rockefellers. The push for religious syncretism has always been related to Freemasonry, and a project of the British Empire.

Once Hinduism was established as a modern religion, and India’s independence properly faked, India entered the era of the Rolls Royce gurus. These were religious leaders of sects (cults) of Hinduism that were very often sold to [primarily young people in] the West, almost certainly as part of a process of syncretization [for power and profit]. It is important to look closely at each such cult to find its connection back to the British Empire, a subservience apparent in their uniform choice of luxury vehicles. For instance, in my research into Osho’s (Rajneesh’s) neo-sanyassins, I discovered the current King of England’s close cousin hidden among the group’s membership. This is important because it was Osho’s cult that transplanted itself in Oregon where it conducted the largest (or second-largest, ahem) bioterror attack ever conducted on U.S. soil, with suspiciously little consequence. This could not have been accomplished without help from media titans, such as the Beatles and neo-senyassan Arianna Huffington, or industrial families such as that of 33rd degree Master Mason Henry Ford’s. One of Ford’s descendants (who still manages the family trust) is currently constructing the world’s largest religious monument in India, dedicated to [Hare] Krishna consciousness. It’s a spectacularly beautiful building lamentably dedicated to spiritual degeneracy.

I have often opined that the whole “alien psyop” comes down to the notion that the nations of the world are ruled by resident aliens. Wink. My second hypothesis, which jives with the emergence of the alien/UFO religions and cults, is that aliéné is the French word for somebody who is mentally ill, alienated from themselves and from society. For those who are not aware, the history of Psychiatry is that of a quasi-science (and often just pseudoscience) developed and steered almost entirely within Freemasonic circles through its infancy. And while Freud was not himself a Freemason, he was steered by his ambition into B’nai B’rith, the syncretic Zionism-branded new world religious order organization that is so Freemasonic that I shouldn’t even have to make the argument for a connection.

Fans of Freud may want to snort a line before proceeding…

Freud was well-understood to be a lying fraud by those in the striving-to-be-scientific health community of his time. He never cured a single patient he worked with and diagnosed. But his artificially engineered public image was pushed into public consciousness and managed by [Yale Skull and Bonesman] Henry Luce’s Time Magazine—three times for good repetition. Despite a void of real accomplishments, the magazine compared him to Einstein.

Of Freud’s more interesting work, most was stolen from Philippe Pinel, or buried (as his work connecting mental illness to child sex abuse, a topic on which I plan to discuss in a future article). The International Psychoanalytical Association was run by Freud like a Masonic lodge, with secret meetings and initiations. Freud even gave his acolytes Roman Empire themed rings to bind them.

Get it? Freud of the Rings?

I suspect there is a Romanized Plato’s cave narrative at play. I have often suspected that Julius Caesar was bribed with Phoenician gold and silver from Cadiz while he governed over Gaul. Is that how all the Republics end? Not at the end of a spear, but with its energy harnessed by dictators who direct the “citizens” to build their own new wing of Plato’s cave?

Ultimately, it was Freud’s successor, Carl Jung (son of a Freemason and grandson of Grand Master Freemason) who injected the notions of alien mythology into discussions of dream interpretations, the collective unconscious, and his Jungian archetypes. This happened suspiciously just after World War II (starting in 1946), and right before the introduction of so many alien tropes like “men in black” (1947), “alien tech” (1947), “space brothers” (1952, by Theosophist George Adamski in an event orchestrated by the CIA), “little green men” (1955, repurposed from earlier English spiritualist hoaxes such as leprechauns and fairies), the “greys” (1961), and numerous others.

In a future article, I will go into how psychiatry has been used to disguise child sex abuse, framing much of it as “conspiracy theory”, the most effective of thought-terminating cliches.

It is a great irony that Freemasonry only accepts initiates who believe in one god, but spin out so many leaders who believe that they can create new worlds and be gods (or demiurges) of them.

Before we move on, let us briefly review a history of UFO religions and cults, and their Freemasonic lineages:

• The LDS Church (Mormons): Established in 1830 by a Master Freemason, populated quickly by hundreds of Freemasons. This was the first religion to promote the “Many Worlds” notion of the universe. The Mormon focus on genealogy is good security. The LDS Church has also been repeatedly accused of harboring large child sex trafficking operations.
• The Theosophical Society: Established in 1875 by Freemasons and others. The strongest promotion yet of notions of aliens, not to mention the concept of the master Aryan race (which conveniently targets India in tandem with the West). Schools and orphanages run by Theosophists have constantly dodged and weaved among the many accusations of child sex abuse.
• The Vril Society: Established in 1919, the Masonic-style Vril Society evolved into the Nazi Party. The notion of the magical Vril ruling from beneath the surface of the Earth, was the notion of English diplomat Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Bulwer-Lytton was a Rosicrucian, another Masonic-style occult organization. His granddaughter, Lady Emily Bulwer-Lytton, joined the Theosophical Society, and was surrogate mother to Theosophy’s chosen child messiah Jiddu Krishnamurti who was systematically raped by at least one of the leaders of the Theosophical Society.
• The Nation of Islam: Established on July 4, 1930 (Independence Day?) by a sketchy white guy with Japanese occult ties calling himself Wallace Fard Muhammad. They promote the idea that massive circular spacecraft (or interdimensional craft, like stargates) ferry aliens and humans between different worlds or planes, which is not dissimilar to what ISKCON preaches. Some of these flying crafts were built by ancient black men in Japan, which could probably make for some interesting anime. Today, the Nation of Islam follows Dianetics, one of the writings of UFO-cult Scientology. Just as the Freemasons set aside black people in separate-but-equal lodges, the Scientology-esque corner of the cultic world seems to do the same.
• The “I AM” Activity: Established in 1930 building on Theosophical messaging. While there are not as many documented cases of child sex abuse in this cult, it has been noted that its leadership aggressively worked to separate families as a structural mission of the cult. This is a good sign that there is more to the story than we may know. They were also involved in financial fraud, mail fraud, and tax evasion scandals. Their parent organization was the Ascended Master Saint Germain Foundation, another nod to Theosophy, and they claimed that Sir Francis Bacon, who likely engineered the connection between Freemasonry and the EIC, was a reincarnation of Saint Germain.
• Scientology: Established in 1953 as a sci-fi era updated template of the Theosophical Society. Like the Theosophical Society, its founder hailed from the Office of Naval Intelligence, which has the greatest footprint among military institutions in the so-called alien disclosure movement. Gotta find a way to get some trusted non-Masons involved, right? Founder L Ron Hubbard engaged in sex magick rituals with Jack Parsons (close associate Ghislaine Maxwell relative-through-marriage Frank Malina), ran a child education ranch in New Mexico, and hand-picked teen and preteen girls to attend to his desires. As an aside, POTUS Trump picked a Scientologist to be ambassador to Ukraine, and HHS Secretary Kennedy’s chief co-attorney is a Scientologist co-conspirator to an operation that infiltrated the U.S. government with 5,000 Scientologists. Anybody who might be interested in Scientology’s alleged human trafficking activities might begin with the observation that 1 in 6 religious visas to the U.S. are given to Scientologists, most often from nations like Ukraine and Russia known for large numbers of young women being sex trafficked to the West. This is, by my admittedly rough estimation, around 200x the rate of larger, more established religions.
• 3HO Foundation/Kundalini Research Institute/Ra Ma Institute: This chain of organizations began in 1969, targeting the hippy counterculture movement. Both Yogi Bhajan and the even less convincing Guru Jagat openly taught not simply alien/UFO mythology, but Guru Jagat even claimed that the COVID-19 lockdowns were a cover for an active “alien war” happening in the skies.
• Heaven’s Gate: Co-formed by Theosophist Bonnie Nettles in 1973, they’re all dead now.

Freemasons even invented Afro-futurism!

I could go on for pages and pages, including dozens of Neo-Theosophy groups like the one I grew up in. How suspicious is it that despite a court case filed in 2021 by dozens of child sex abuse victims, there is still not a whiff of coverage in either the mainstream media or the alt-Plato’s-cave media that so champions QAnon? Hello? Is this thing on?

All of these religions turn potential opponents of globalism into people-botnets who work to make their masters rich. In the process, they destroy families. The compartmentalization of the network means that each group, and often even subgroups (as in the case of ISKCON) are cut off from content localized to various wings of Plato’s cave. Each group, their activities, and sometimes the crimes they commit, also shifts attention from the globalist and fraternal networks.
