When Ignatius of Loyola became the first “Father General” of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1540, he did so in a very different-looking continent than Europe appears today. Pope Paul III, who approved the society’s foundation within the Catholic church, had his home in the Papal States, which existed in the northern half of…
The history books tell us that after their dissolution in 1312 – following a crackdown by Pope Clement V in France when they fell from grace due to accusations by King Philip IV about deviant sexual rituals – the Knights Templar were stripped of the special privileges they had been granted by the Vatican and,…
Rumours of deviant sexual rituals are not exclusive to the Knights Templar, who amassed a vast fortune between their foundation by Frenchman Hugues de Payens, along with a group of eight acquaintances, in about 1118 and their alleged dissolution in 1312, after King Philip IV of France – deeply in debt to the knights –…
Perhaps you’ve never heard of the Black Pope, Octogon, Executive Outcomes and Blackwater, but the names Dutch East India Company, Hudson’s Bay Company, Wells Fargo and Jesuits may strike more of a chord? No doubt many will have come across the Templars, Crusaders and Masons… but what do all these bodies have in common? Well…
In the summer of 2021 landmark meetings allegedly took place between representatives of an “Earth Alliance” – consisting of officials of nation states and executives of corporate giants – and emissaries of the Galactic Federation Of Worlds, an organisation that has been overseeing the Earth’s development into a “space-fairing” civilisation for millennia, since before the…
So far there have been no reports in August of crop circles appearing in the wheat and barley fields of England’s heartland, but there have already been at least 15 this year, with six reported in July: at Chillandham Lane (two instances), Lane End Down and Barton Stacey in Hampshire; Norton Plantation in Wiltshire; and…
Having done extensive research on the “crop circle” phenomenon I’ve yet to come across a satisfactory explanation for their creation but, once again, 2023 is proving a bumper season for “croppies”, with another example reported on Monday this week near Owslebury in Hampshire. Some of the earliest documented cases, dating back to the 1980s, were…
It’s a worldwide phenomenon that occurs anywhere where fields of wheat and barley can be found, but the origin of the incredible patterns that emerge overnight across the cereal belt, commonly known as crop circles, remain a mystery despite regular manifestations throughout the summer months, with particular emphasis on Wiltshire and Hampshire in England’s heartland.…
This week an Argentinian stage show has highlighted concerns about a growing worldwide trend towards the sexualisation of children. A disturbing image from choreographer Flavio Mendoza’s theatre show Stravaganza – in which the artist placed his microphone between his thighs for his four-year-old son Dionisio to sing into – has sparked a huge backlash on…
I don’t know why, but whenever there are reports in the media about a mass shooting, such as the recent tragedy in California’s Monterey Park, or a missing sea vessel or plane, like the 2014 disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, I immediately ask myself: “Who were the victims?” I guess the reason is that…
