Nov 4, 1862: Richard Gatling patented his rapid-firing multiple-barrel gun. The early hand-cranked version was capable of firing 400 rounds per minute. The Navy's current Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS) features a Gatling-style gun that fires 4,500 20mm rounds per minute.




I guess the Trump White House caved to pressure and lowered the flag.

Steve Bannon on former Vice President Dick Cheney’s death:

“I hope the hearse takes him past Section 60 at Arlington where the honored dead of the global war on terror are buried for the war of blood and treasure.”

Tech creep, eyes everywhere. Starts off as a good idea and later evolves into a monster. It's all about data collection...to track & trace every soul. Now smile for the showgirl!




We are officially living through the longest government shutdown in history which was tied today at 35 days back in December 22, 2018 to January 25, 2019.  My only question is, since we know power once assumed is never willingly relinquished, how much pain will the beast cause to justify its continued existence?




Out in the Mojave desert mountains, a train disappears...then reappears above itself.



149 years old, still working every day. They call it the Tehachapi Loop.

Built in 1876, carved into granite by 3,000 Chinese laborers using black powder and shovels. A 0.73-mile (1.15 km) spiral, rising 77 feet, just 2.2 percent grade, perfect enough that a modern freight can still climb it. Any train that is more than 3,800 feet (1,200 m) long—about 56 boxcars—passes over its own tail going around the loop.

A living ouroboros of steel. A 19th-century equation that still solves itself in motion. The line averages about 36 freight trains every day.

This is just sad. How did Europe surrender all dignity and accept complete vassalage? The more Europe isolates itself from the world to please the US, the more dependent and vulnerable it will become to more US pressure.

An Introduction to the Craft of the Wise

Mother Goddess | Polytheism | Monotheism (Empire > Christianity)

During the mother goddess era, females ruled. The womb was sacred.
Men started ruling in the polytheism era when war was created.

In order to preserve the mother goddess traditions & rituals certain females created the Mystery Schools. These schools became very popular among the elite because they offer great sex.

The Mystery Schools are not secret but everyone who is initiated into one must take an oath of secrecy to never divulge secrets to anyone outside. Breaking your oath results in one being exiled or even death by its members.

The Mystery Schools became a threat to the Roman Empire so they went underground and became secret societies. Their purpose was to keep the secrets of the universe from the advent of Christianity & the Empire. Hundreds if not thousands exist today. The lesser known, all powerful one's today are unknown as even their society name remains secret.
